Chapter 597 Return Of The Ancient Kingdom



The rise of the Greco-Roman Kingdom sparked an all-out retreat among another kingdom's ground and air forces.

One China and Australia tried to intervene and were relatively successful on the fringe regions where the powerful magnetic call occurred.

One China's magnetic technology managed to resist and pull back many of the ships that they owned near the Mediterranean sea.

The electromagnetic powers that One China had increased through the many sciences that they had.

Nogard had been receiving many of the techs they were accumulating, including the powers of the Unlocked and from the knowledge of the Presider ships they acquired in the previous battle.

And with this, their magnetic technology had improved and created a counter technology of deflecting the magnetic call.

Australia also used Enigmatic Magnetic Pulse and created a massive barrier around the armies, which also spared several other countries from being pulled in.

These two nations tried their best to save the nearby allies and as many as possible before the rest moved out of the area.

Soon, the broadcast Alexander appeared.

He was seated on a throne at the height of the massive wall that rose and divided the seas.

Lanterk's appearance was revealed as the broadcast revealed the glory of his risen empire.

"Progenitor. You have lied and taken advantage of our silence. We, the Aragarians, approached Earth in caution. We did not want to wage war, enslave you, or rule this world. But your wary nature had forced us to observe and watch your planet. Yet the Progenitor spurred wars and pitted us against each other, mixing truths with lies in their actions. When your experiments in Malay-Pangea came to light, you made us the scapegoats for your experiments!"

"Oh...? Not bad, Lanterk! I may have taken your cunning too lightly!" Lowengren praised Lanterk's tactic. Next to him was his team, Warfreakz. They stood in another sky satellite that guarded the south Asian nations.

"How is that good, boss? Those are lies that are easy to deny. It's not like he has your lying powers. Or mine, for that matter." Roselyn of Warfreakz asked.

"At this stage, Roselyn, you'd be surprised how gullible people will be. You'd think facing a great crisis, people will think critically. But, no. People will pursue what they want all the more. Eagle used religion, a despised and neglected tool, to convince the world and use it to gain allies. But we all knew this would fail. Watch how the world will run to Lanterk's lie. Watch how they grasp the last straws to believe what they want." Lowengren chuckled.

Lanterk's broadcast continued with him offering numerous 'proofs' of the Malay-Pangean massacre where Feltrick Ung-Glaive's experiments were revealed. It was this event that the experts believed to be the first act of the Progenitor.

"You did the same to Australia when Pridgeon first visited the earth with reports of illegal Aragarian human experimentation. You who took the Jews scattered all over the world and housed them in your disgusting chambers to create more and more of your so-called 'unlock' humans are made known to me." Lanterk spoke, and many more videos and obscure facts were displayed.

"Today. I call on Earth and pose this question. How different are we? When we were your rulers, nations like Egypt rose and had power. That was the gift we intended to give. Yes, we would be your leaders, but it's only because we wanted to use your workforce and resources so that we can develop greater science. But the Progenitor wanted all of Earth for himself. And he has it now. Soon, more Presiders will arrive. An angry, vicious bunch who has heard that we were displaced from Earth. And only the Progenitor, who is a fake Presider, has taken control. War is coming. Greece and Rome. Follow me. I will be your protector. Alexander the Great once conquered the known world. And I will be this. See now how my powers transcend the nations. What can One China and Australia do? And soon, the Caliphates shall rise. Choose your master's. Your life depends on this."

The broadcast ended.

A strange resonance from all magnetic objects suddenly occurred as the satellites, and all forms of media were suddenly distorted. The world was cut off from each other as even the Internet was brought down.

Lowengren saw all the reports and couldn't help but smile.

"Wow. Who would have thought that Small Willy would have such an ingenious plot like that? First, manipulate, isolate, and intimidate. I'm sure what will follow next are direct attacks on certain nations..."

"What should we do, boss?" Roselyn asked.

"We wait and train. The next skirmish is settled. We will be going against the Twelve Disciples. Let's continue our stellar training. Master the Four Force Stellar Accelerator and ensure you can fight effectively at Mach 2. We are all Inhumans right now, and while the drug to take us higher is possible, it could hinder your progress. I want all of you to reach the realms of what Heroes should be."

"I'm aiming for Ranked Heroes, boss!" Roselyn cheered.

"Me too!" Stanley added.

"Atta boy, Stanley! But these Twelves Disciples are aiming for World Champions. So we need to keep our dreams up high! We can't Overcome if we think we have limits!" Lowengren ordered as the team prepared for yet another training in the high space.

On other Sky Satellites, the Unlocked knew this was the time to initiate the training.

"Amir, Akasha... I'll leave things to you." Seeker bade goodbye.

"Don't worry. You guys hurry on with your training. To keep them distracted, my packs and her coven will attack Lanterk and Pridgeon."

"Good. You guys, have a good training fight." Seeker also spoke to the Gryphon Squadron.

"Wait! You're not going with us?" Alphie asked.

"Us Overcomers will have our training fight on the moon. It serves two purposes. We take out the remaining Aragarian bases there and test our stellar war capabilities."

"You're leaving Earth?"

"Arthur predicts that these two won't do much. But, just like we need them, they also need us. Part two of a Presider Wars is about to happen on earth. I'm guessing those two want us to be in our strongest form. We'll be back... Unless some of us die up there. It's going to be insane."

"Why am I going...? Lowengren isn't going, but why me?" Cliff wept.

"You're crying? I'm just a Ranked Hero, and I'll go with you!" Meryl cursed as she moved out of the ejector and flew toward the great space.

Down the ground, communication interference forced everyone to see the videos taken around Greece and Rome.

The powers of Lanterk's magnetism were on full display. Its fortress, its army, and its capabilities.

For days, people saw this news as the Greco-Roman Kingdom conquered many parts of Europe.

The fall of the countries was too fast, and the armies that stood against it couldn't even put up a fight.

Many nearby nations surrendered instantly, but Lanterk made an example of one of the nations.

Bosnia, which had the most advanced drone technology, stood little chance as their metals were all drawn out. These metals could resist One China's Magnetism, and countermeasures were in place against Australia's tech, but they were vastly overpowered by the strange means of Alexander.

Being close to the fortress of Alexander, their nation received concentrated attacks of magnetism.

He called metals around the world and drew many ships, weapons, robots, and even the raw materials of nearby nations lifted and drawn to the region. The armies and ships that were position from afar were suddenly pulled with great force.

The shocking scene of exoskeleton suits, ships, jets, and entire fortresses uprooted from the ground was reported by many, and the many armies who were extremely confident in their alliance trembled as they witnessed the true power of the Presider.

Some military bases were dug from the ground as Lanterk dug his power down the earth to uproot many of the metals that allowed entire fortresses to be pulled out.

The armies of the nearby nations were practically stolen as their weapons were all affected by the powerful call of metals.

Further out, many of the metals started to come alive as the power of Alexander's tech drove many robots to arise once more. Though the world was more prepared as the last incident when the machines rose against their makers created great losses and destruction, the preparations that the world had could not stop the machines to rise out once more.

In the days that passed, even the Unlocked armies had to deal with this battle as the bases it had plunged into battles.

Lioncourt and Amir had to act quickly to save some of the forces of the nations that would have been taken away by Lanterk's powers, and werewolves began to crawl outside the cities of Italy, and vampires harassed the land of Greece.

This led to a constant battle within the region as the wolves and the vampires kept pouring in and were unaffected by the metals and had the bare strength to break the metal soldiers of the region.

This distraction was enough to allow Seeker's team to fight and perform skirmishes in space and test their technology.

But this stopped when a strange power appeared over the Caliphates.

A gigantic collapsing cube called the tesseract, in geometric terms, had suddenly manifested, covering cities and regions. It was as tall as a mountain and was wide enough to cover many cities.

And soon, Pridgeon announced that he created 'New Jerusalem'.
