Chapter 566 The Silence After

There was a strange serene sky over the lands of Egypt.

No one ship, exoskeleton, jet, or even a buzz from the locust plague that once appeared and covered the sky for battle existed.

The chaos and war that occurred not thirty minutes ago had suddenly ended.

The only thing floating high was the two massive ships of Zeraphine and Garenjazz. But now, the ship of Garenjazz had lost its power and its spherical form was revealed it did not endlessly collapse in itself but remained static.

Under the two, was the Many Mansions of the Everhiss clan of the WGP.

The world watched in silence as the few correspondents who were taping the entire incident.

Lanterk and Pridgeon were shocked.

"Garenjazz lost!?" Pridgeon exclaimed.

"Somethings wrong! There is something very wrong with this! How can the Lost Primordial, the one who lost, win against someone who has managed to thread on the path of the Primordial?!" Lanterk couldn't understand it.

The defeat and destruction of the dream world created a massive leak of Universe Energy that was leaking out of Garenjazz's ship.

Garenjazz's dream world was creating its universe energy through the many devices he placed there. But now, they all surged out.

And the Many Mansions was equipped to gather such energy.

"Amazing. With all the resources we spent in this battle, we regained, probably double or triple the amount." Lennox was beside himself with joy.

"And not to mention, we can finally study it! The raw and uncontrolled energy is ours!" Lennox's eyes were full of greed.

But Pheonix Everhiss and his other Emperor allies had complex expressions. They were receiving demands and orders from the World's Helm to hand over all the energy that they could see the Many Mansion take in.

"I guess, it's time to start it finally. The Throne Wars will surely happen..." Phoenix sighed.

"This means... more thrones for my friends." Arthur smiled.

"Rai. Get ready! We'll be teleported inside the ship."

"Alright." Rai nodded.

Garenjazz could still see Lynd standing closest to him.

Seeker was a few meters behind but could not move as the souls that emerged and rushed back into him drained a huge amount of his life force.

"Lynd..." He spoke only one word as he pleaded with Lynd.

Cliff was also too weak to move and he could only crawl closer in his attempt to stand in between Lynd and Garenjazz.

Garenjazz had lost all his power and was on the verge of death. The destruction of his body in that dream world somehow destroyed and took away any forms of power of Garenjazz. The Nefilus suit that powered him lost all of its life and was deteriorating. Garenjazz was just a regular human now, far weaker compared to the Planted who had their enhancements.

Garenjazz was, even so, close to dying.

Lynd's rage remained as his powers could be seen. His transfigured body remained visible. His paths had managed to combine numerous Paths and his body was deteriorating rapidly. But Lynd maintained that power to prepare for another attack.

"I'm sorry for your parents," Garenjazz spoke.

The energy around Lynd grew even more unstable as his rage increased.

Garenjazz sighed.

"Even my words aren't lucky now..." Garenjazz sighed.

Seeker tried to speak but his entire body still suffered from the backlash and couldn't move or speak.

"Don't go to the dark side, Obi-Wan!" Vender's voice was suddenly heard.

He was close to Zeraphine, and his entire body was burnt. Normally, people in his condition with extreme cases of burn wounds would have died. But such injuries were still light to the Unlocked. Vender had already injected himself and was quickly recovering.

The sudden comment was not even funny. It was so out of sync with the scenario that Lynd frowned. Besides, Obi-Wan wasn't the one tempted to move to the Dark Side.

Lynd's anger raged against Vender as he turned to him as he was slowly losing into the berserker's rage.

"Lynd... I'm a father with a daughter with who I want to live. You saw her, right? I would gladly die for her to live. Your father and mother's sacrifice were not just to kill Garenjazz. It was for you and this world. Are you seriously going to throw it all away? Garenjazz in his current form makes him a perfect prisoner and informant. He just wants to live." Vender suddenly spoke with such precise wisdom.

"Killing him now means you will help kill my daughter! I would never forgive you if you killed him and we lose someone who knows about Principals!" Vender explained.

Lynd froze and glanced at Garenjazz.

"Lynd!" Seeker finally managed to speak.

He could only afford one word and spoke with a pleading tone.

Lynd could not withold the emotions as the temptation and desire to give in to his sadness won. Lynd began to weep.

"...I know, Zeek. I know..." Lynd sighed and obeyed.

BOOM!

The Throne of Zeraphine was dented and destroyed as the energy pushed in and attacked the unguarded Presider.

Lynd threw in all his rage and hatred but punched out Zeraphine.

"AHHH!" Zeraphine panicked and her Nefilus suit was damaged.

Lynd yanked Zeraphine off the throne and smashed her to the ground.

BANG!

With that, the energy that Lynd gathered for Garenjazz was launched at Zeraphine.

"Why...?" Zeraphine asked. But she was already starting to understand what had transpired. The moment Lynd's name was mentioned, she was starting to realize just how deceived she had been.

Seeker sighed in relief. Zeraphine had learned of the truth and was already suspecting and asking to what extent she was being deceived. Because of this, she had to be detained.

The attack broke her and halted her powers. While it was still possible to repair the damage, she had been drastically weakened.

Lynd turned around to walk away without answering Zeraphine. And then saw Seeker.

"Seeker. Don't give me that expression." Lynd spoke with a low voice. He could sense the emotions of Seeker and felt insulted.

"Sorry... You know what I've been through. If you... I..."

"I understand." Lynd sighed as he reached down.

Lynd fell quiet and reached out towards Seeker and bestowed on him a great amount of life.

A power to heal had finally appeared among the Unlocked. Seeker was startled and couldn't understand what was happening.

It wasn't similar to the expensive medicines that they had created. This one gave Seeker cells that replaced the ones he lost. Most of their medicines were used to give the body enough energy to recover and heal. But this was like magic!

Seeker's state stabilized.

"So... This means I'll be alive? If this is what it means to be living. Bravo. My winning streak has finally ended." Garenjazz smiled.

"So this is freedom? Free from the curse of the Primordial. I thought I managed to resist it... But it seems I was too full of myself." Garenjazz laughed.

WARP!

Rai suddenly appeared with Arthur and Richie.

Arthur glanced for a quick second.

"Garenjazz. Order your men to stand down and have them sink into the ocean. Your voice will be broadcast around the ship." Arthur ordered.

"...Alright." Garenjazz nodded.

"Everyone. I, Garenjazz, have lost. Do not resist. I am commanding the ship to move through the ocean. Deploy whatever safety measures remain." Garenjazz's voice was heard all over the ship.

"You too, Zeraphine." Arthur turned towards Zeraphine.

"...Everyone, we won. Garenjazz has lost. Follow the ship. We did it! We defeated a Principal!" Zeraphine gave her report, but there was no joy in her heart and she turned to Seeker. Her expression was one of great sadness.

But as she glanced at him, she could not shake off the feeling that Seeker once gave her this look.

The two ships moved down towards the sea and the Many Mansion did nothing to fight it.

As the two sank, powerful energy was detected and the two ships disappeared underwater.

Then, there was silence once more.
