Chapter 540 Deaths

Gardo charged with great speed and swiftly created a giant arm.

He had taken the pill that would allow him to turn into a werewolf, but he pushed all the rallying cells towards his arm. The energy in his arm was so great that even with compression, it would still require Gardo to create this giant arm.

The arm was huge, burning with flames and lightning as Gardo used two weaponized bombs.

"Red Pheonix!" Gardo roared as he punched out.

BANG!

The Throne was smashed down and began to dig through the hard pavement of Egypt's base as it began to fall several levels from the constant pressure of Gardo's fist.

The massive fist struck with great speed, and the shock wave of the impact boomed so powerfully that some of the Unlocked was even knocked back!

Jane was holding on to one of Gardo's allies and was a member of the team that Gardo had led since his youth.

Jane held on to Brent as she wept.

"See that, Brent! The boss is paying her back for what she did!" Jane kept crying.

The punch pushed onwards as Gardo continued to roar. No longer did the class clown laugh or make jokes.

p CRACK! CRACK!

The Throne of Andronze finally gave way as it faced the full power of Gardo's punch.

Fire and lighting constantly attacked the Throne as Gardo pressed downwards, and all the energy began to gather for one final boom.

"That is for Brent Stinser!" Gardo roared.

BOOM!

Gardo was thrown backward as a large explosion blasted from his arm.

Efren caught Gardo, who was now missing an arm, and quickly made his retreat.

"Boss..."

"Did... Brent... see that?" Gardo asked. He couldn't even see after making such an attack as he used other paths to make the explosion. Unlike Seeker, Lynd, or Cliff, Gardo forcibly wielded other Paths, and those Paths affected him.

"He did, boss. Don't worry. We'll take it from here." Efren took Gardo and escaped. He needed medical attention as Efren could sense the heat and radiation in Gardo spreading.

Jane kept crying as Brent used the last seconds of his life to watch the attack from afar.

"I knew... the boss... was an Overcomer..." Brent smiled, and his face stopped moving.

Several exoskeletons charged in as the massive explosion blew out of the hole where Andronze was sent buried. They didn't care if the explosion of Gardo's attack was erupting like a volcano.

The core leaders of Warfreakz stood over the hole. Even Stanley was enraged and bravely charged as more than half of their team was killed. Many were long-standing members of Warfreakz and were even among the first trained by Arthur when Warfreakz was first recruited.

Stanley, Roselyn, Arclight, Czerus, and Lucy charged ahead.

Each had specialized weapons taken from Shackstress's ship.

A Sun Devourer, a Nuke Emitter, Lennox's Bolt of Zeus invention, and a Hydro Pump gun were taken from Andronze's ship.

Roselyn revealed her weapon of choice, a small round chunk, which they called the Norris. It was a weapon that could not be detected but had the potent explosive power to rival a Nuke Emitter's attack.

Several chunks of Norris were thrown down as the rest sent out their attacks. The attacks were sent in together, and the explosions occurred at the same time.

BOOOOOOOMMMMM!

A thundering blast shot out of the ground, and the entire team was thrown back.

Many of their allies began to charge out to catch them.

The combined explosions occurred with the overloading energies, and a mushroom cloud rose to the sky.

"For the dead..." Roselyn smiled.

"For the dead!" Czerus cheered.

Stanley was still crying. His girlfriend died in the battle and was clutching her heart.

"Guard your emotions, Stanley. We've got a mission to finish." Arclight ordered.

"I know... I can block my emotions... But..." Stanley kept weeping. The rest of the Covenant watched and waited as the mushroom cloud continued to tower up.

"Our plan worked?" Lucy asked.

"That explosion triggered a chain reaction just as we planned. It looks as if a nuclear bomb was launched." Roselyn gazed at the cloud.

"Eh? Isn't your Nuke Emitter a nuclear bomb?"

"Huh? All bombs that create intense radiation have been banned since World War 3. Nuke Emitter means Non-Uranium Kinetic Energy Emitter. It's a different type of bomb."

"Oh..."

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

"She's still alive?"

"That Throne should be damaged!' Roselyn watched.

BANG!

The Throne rose out, and there were cracks and holes around it.

Universe Energy was forming around her, but it was fluctuating!

"Who poisoned me?!" She roared angrily. Even after all those attacks, her concern was the affliction that was killing her.

"You stupid Presider! We just had to keep you busy! Don't you know Egypt's history? What comes after the Plague of Darkness? The Plague of the Firstborn! That's why your commanders are dead! They were all firstborn! You think your some god, die like a mortal and become dust!" Roselyn of Warfreakz shouted as she charged forward and the rest of the team moved ahead.

With Andornze in constant pain, her battle potential dropped, and the army of the Unlocked kept up their barrage as they knew they just had to keep her busy and drain the energy so she couldn't focus on healing herself.

The truth was, even before the battle, the disease that was killing her and everyone else had long been exposed to them.

When Lowengren wrote Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin and sent in a bloody hand, the hand itself was controlled by Akasha. But the blood itself was from Charles.

Up in the Many Mansions, Charles kept his line open for Alean and the rest to contact him if they needed rescue. But, at the same time, his purpose was to activate the dormant blood that had spread all over Egypt and try to kill Andronze!

Charles's body of death contained all forms of diseases and poisons. And it held the power of the Plague that had afflicted Ricardo since birth. The experiments of the Pioneers way back in Malay-Pangea, which Seeker and his team attacked, had fallen into Charles's hands. And with the data, he perfected the Plague of the First Born.

Warfreakz fought hard. But then, Roselyn, who appeared to be the calmest among them, suddenly made an attack that harnessed her Unlocking to the fullest.

"Die! The bomb is already inside you! Happy exploding!" Roselyn lied.

But that simple lie exhausted cells of Roselyn. They were trained to lie, but the greater the lie, or the stronger the enemy, the more powerful it would eat them.

Their lies were not like Lowengren's, which lured the enemies Zone into a trap. Their lie was like a force that would fight the dimensions beyond.

Harker quickly pulled Roselyn back, whose body was now cracking like fragile marble as she had pushed her cells to the extreme.

"No! It's all your fault! I have the Lost Primordial's body! You took it away!" Andronze roared and somehow believed the lie. She used the Universe Energy around her to create a strong attack to blow everything nearby and deflect whatever bomb was inside her Throne!

"We have the Lost Primordial's body and Guinevere!" Harker shouted and spoke the truth. The Unlocked army did have both. But then... Truth was presented in a way that believing it would make it a lie.

A strange coffin suddenly landed nearby.

"No!" Andronze panicked as she thought that the body was inside the coffin, and she halted the discharge of the Universe energy by creating a shield of Universe Energy to block the exploding energy to contain it!

BOOM!

The explosion still occurred, but another force contained it. Nevertheless, the rest of Warfreakz's team was caught in the initial blast of the attack and thrown back with numerous critical injuries.

The two conflicting commands of the Universe Energy created chaos, and the force of the attack was diverted back to her.

"Arrrrgggh!" Andronze faced the blast, and her Throne began to break.

The Universe Energy that protected her Throne was also compromised, and at that moment, Lander Stalion, the Hero of Helion's Tragedy, charged forward and used his trademarked spinning attack.

But this one was vastly improved. The data of Arthur's Threshing Floor and the power of the wind that Hermes had were both studied to create an attack that Lander could use.

Lander carried a long, and thick lance. By using his spinning movements, the lance became like a massive drill.

Typical, Meng, Hermes, and Lennox's Paths were used to improve the speed and power of Lander's attack.

BANG!

The Throne was struck, and the drilling quickly occurred.

A loud screeching sound was heard as the drill quickly dug through the Throne.

Lander kept spinning and kept the drill attacking and digging through the Throne.

"You false Presiders will never kill me!" Andronze roared as she caught the drill that pierced through the last defenses of her Thron.

The drill stopped, and Lander kept pushing with all his might.

The Dalisays appeared with their supreme Exoskeletons.

Jane was the first. She charged in and kicked the other end of the lance.

BANG!

The lance stabbed forward, and it struck the exoskeleton of Andornze!

"Not enough! Stronger! Use your cells!" Jane ordered.

Efren and Archie rushed in and followed Jane's commands.

They flew so fast and didn't care if they lost their limbs as they punched out.

BANG!

The lance of Lander was made of the hardest materials they had found from Shackstress's ship, and the arm of Efren was shattered, and blood sprayed everywhere.

Then Archie followed up.

BANG!

The lance dug deeper and deeper, and with no Universe Energy to shield her, she was finally stabbed as the blade damaged her exoskeleton. The lance had already given her a light wound on her chest.

"No...!"

Lander suddenly set his comm device to speaker mode at the orders of the General.

"We aren't Presiders. Seeker Carlean is a man who fought you in the future. You succeeded and probably won that battle. But in this New Game+, it's our victory!" Harker's Armor was flying from the sky and charged toward Andronze.

Andronze trembled as she heard those words.

"Die by the hands of humans, Presider!" Harker punched out with his Armor.

BANG!

The large drill of the lance stabbed further inside and pierced through the chest of Andronze.
