New Game+

Three powerful explosions that used one of New Great Britain's most powerful tech created massive holes under the Kraken. It used the elevators as a way to reach higher levels. 

The other bomb that they used had the strongest blast range. Although the force of this blast was many times weaker than the original version the European nations used as their weapons of mass destruction, it still had a decent range. 

As such, the WGP's Big Bang Boom bomb could not destroy it. The explosion was forced to travel up the floors and would destroy the elevator doors. But these exhaust ports were too tight and caused the blast to expand out to the top floor. 

It did not have a terrifying force that destroyed most of the elevator shaft. The Elevator shaft's surrounding armor used the same metal that is applied on the hull. And so, it was among the most stable part of the Kraken. 

"Send teams to contain the damage! We need to prioritize closing those gaps! I want to get a full damage report at once!" The Commander, who was also the main engineer of the Kraken, ordered. 

"Sir! There is a large breach on the locations where three of our main elevators functioned. The strong metal that we used to build the shaft contained it. But the explosions reached all the way up. All the floors of these two elevator shafts are damaged as the explosion leaked out." 

"We need to send a team to close the holes!" 

"No! We have bigger problems! Look here!" The Commander pointed out to the other Commanders. 

"Look at the damage on the Buoyancy Chambers!" 

"I thought the Empress fixed it!" 

"Fixed? The Empress merely opened up the ports to dissolve the original weakness of the Main chamber! But they threw a Big Bang Boom bomb on the main chamber! It destroyed all the gates that had closed and stopped the waters from traveling from one chamber to another! This wasn't a weakness before, but now it really is a weakness!" 

The Kraken then began to shake and tremble. 

"Sir! The top floors are giving in!" 

"Of course, it will! The Kraken was designed to have a tough shell that could withstand attacks from the outside! But the damage we received exploded from the inside out! The secret of the Kraken's powerful defense has been with the hard metals, and the shock-absorbing and scattering capabilities beneath this tough shell! Break that, and it will all come tumbling down!" 

"Then what do you suggest we do? Abandon ship?" Another Commander angrily argued. 

"Calm down! Death is upon us, and getting angry and panicking can't do anything! The damage created on this Elevator shaft is not as strong as the rest! Plug that in first! Then we have to send our teams to close the damaged sluice gates near the main Buoyancy chamber and make sure the water flowing inside the main chamber does not overload the other buoyancy chambers!" 

The Kraken applied the buoyancy system to make the large structure capable of floating. The weight and buoyancy were divided among all chambers and supported by this main chamber. 

Of course, as Sammy predicted, the weakness was all a façade. There were ways for the Kraken to remain floating even without these chambers. It was a diversion designed to make their enemies invest in such an attack and only fail. 

But Sammy ordered Stanley to place a bomb at the most insidious area possible. 

Stanley placed the bomb he got inside the recently wrecked main buoyancy chamber. The blast rushed out and destroyed the gates that closed all the breaches when the main buoyancy chamber was destroyed. 

"Where did they get those weapons?! We need to answer that question! If traitors are still among us, they will use more bombs! We have to stop thinking within limits. We never expected someone to be able to bring a weapon of that scale within the Kraken undetected!" 

Sammy continued to listen as he followed the battered Exoskeleton of Chase. After fleeing, he got out of his Exoskeleton suit and rendezvous with Chase on a predetermined area. 

"I can't believe you guys did this. The Kraken, which we thought was unsinkable sinks." Chase still couldn't believe what they pulled through. 

"The moment you joined us, this was already set in stone." Sammy laughed. 

Sammy used the communication of the Kraken against itself. He used the paranoia that the commanders had through the appearance of traitors. And this restricted the Commander's movements and forced them to give several commands that were beneficial to the Unlocked. The Kraken's entire army played the fool in his hands. 

"Take this incident as your first lesson. The reason why your elite team of Commanders failed is that you still functioned within a certain scope. You trusted in certain impossibilities. But as you can see, I have a team that could do and conquers all things that were once previously thought to be impossible. And I tell you this... You will see greater things." 

Chase was silent, but his heart could not help but excitedly beat. He had long thought that his heart was dead. But now, the hope of their reunion drew near. 

"Commander Chase! What are your orders?" One of the Commanders asked. 

"Do whatever you can there. I am looking for the Admiral. He might still find ways to use other weapons to blow up! Send a team to observe the weapon silos! He must have found a way to sneak in there and get weapons! Stop functioning within the limits of your imagination! Assume that our enemy can do the impossible!" Chase gave his orders. 

The Commanders were just as enlightened at Chase's words, as Chase was with Sammy's words. 

The group then began to create action points and enlarged the scope of probabilities. It would have been chaos, but for the top elites of the WGP, this was what they were trained to do. 

The Kraken was sinking at an unbelievable speed. 

Outside, the Empress was shocked and couldn't understand how such an event happen. Even if Chase Brander was betraying the Kraken and secretly aiding Seeker's team, she never expected this level of destruction. 

Seeker took this time and finally explained the plan to the Empress. 

The Empress was stunned. 

"This was what this whole thing was all along?" 

"Yes." Seeker laughed. 

"You are greedy. Now I understand what you want. But it makes sense. If your plan succeeds, it will bring great benefits. But it's impossible! They won't help you. And I won't help you if you cannot assure the safety of my daughter." 

"They will help us. And don't worry about your daughter. I can't assure you that she will be safe. She sort of pissed off one of the high ranking members of my team. While she won't be physically harmed, her sufferings will be that of the spirit. But don't worry. Lowengren won't go overboard. Just do your part." Seeker laughed. 

The Empress could only sigh. She knew that her actions would betray the WGP. But she didn't expect that this was a step she would not be able to retract. 

"Then, I shall follow your plans." The Empress answered through gritted teeth. 

"Good. Show it to me then. I want to fight the best of what the WGP can offer." 

"I am the Empress of the Dead. The Sea is my Kingdom. The Call of Poseidon awakens my servant, the sea. But I'll show you my full invoking." 

"I invoke my right as an Emperor of the World. I beseech the Kingdom to heed my request." The Empress made her declaration. 

"Call of Poseidon!" 

This phrase was the trigger of her Rule to bring out the fullness of its power. 

When they stood at the Rule, the resonating aura that has long been mixed to the world reacted. 

When an Emperor sits on the Rule, he wasn't just sitting on one of Earth's most powerful weapons. 

Since the establishment of the World Governing Powers, Origin's science has long been harnessed and released through the world. And what was sinister is that the surrounding nations did not know that this energy was present on almost every corner of the globe. 

The Krakens weren't just military bases. They were generators of Origin Energy. An Emperor seated in a Rule was like a god. He or she would have control over this very power. And the fullness of their might would be revealed upon the Invoking. This was why the weapon was called a "Rule." 

Emperor Cort's invoking was amongst the weakest forms of Invoking. It would display its power only when a Kraken was nearby. Of course, their Invoking had lesser restrictions. But for the Invoking's that Empress Everhiss has, it was far more powerful. Of course, the WGP never intended these powers to be revealed unless necessary. 

A green energy appeared a full three kilometers around the Kraken. At the center was the Rule of the Empress. 

The green lights did not come from the sky. But from the sea. 

The sea became alive and started to move. 

A wall of water rose on all sides of the Kraken. And it grew higher and higher. 

It reached ten meters higher than the Kraken. 

The Commanders were all shocked but took advantage of this. 

"Quick! Send men to repair the breaches on the following sections! Create barriers on these chokepoints!" One of the Commander ordered. 

"Send a team to the weapons silos, nearest to these locations. We should reactivate power to those silos! Someone was able to retrieve weapons without our knowledge!" One of the Commanders suggested. 

The series of orders were immediately relayed as actions were taken to salvage the damage from the explosion. 

Outside, the waters began to rise like a wall around the Kraken. The glow of the sea had a strange green light. 

Twenty meters. 

Thirty meters. 

Forty meters, 

The scene stunned even Seeker. 

"This is what it was. The unseen war between the technology the WGP revealed that forced the Presiders to move." The adult Seeker watched in amazement. It was then that things on his timeline started to make sense. The wars and battles that occurred across the globe now made sense when Seeker saw the real strength of the WGP. 

The waters moved with a strange form of intelligence. It no longer obeyed the rules of physics but was actually moving out of the Kraken! 

The Emperor and Meng stopped their battle and observed the changes happening on the ground. 

"Call of Poseidon. So this is her power. She controls the seas. Then what exactly is the other call?" The Emperor wondered.

Meng also stopped and had to look at the scene before him. 

"That technology. If used correctly, it should match the power levels of World Champions... It seems we need the WGP's technology." Meng glanced and observed the moving powers. 

The Rule of the Empress had transformed. It was now surrounded by a deep and thick water that expanded fifty meters from where the Rule was hovering. 

"This planet has long been transformed into ours. The same technology that we gave to all the nations to terraform Earth after the Third World War was also the materials that created the Origin energy that we control." The Empress spoke softly. She had long noticed the strange hearing ability that Seeker had. She wasn't using any amplifiers to talk to Seeker. 

Seeker then began to realize just how formidable the Progenitor's Seeds were. 

"I see. This was part of the Progenitors plan. It looks like he invested a lot. But sadly, it wasn't enough." Seeker laughed. 

"What are you talking about?" 

"It's a long story. But whatever it is that you have, it won't be enough. You were the first to fall after all." Seeker sighed. 

The Empress observed Seeker with a strange look. 

"Since you have no intention of telling me now, then I guess we should continue on putting a show." 

"Of course. It would be suspicious if you didn't try to fight me and went with your strongest Invoking." 

"Then die!" The Empress shouted as she raised her hand. 

Several large columns of water blasted out from the tall wall. The water moved with incredible speed as it harnessed the energy around it. 

A small metal cube appeared once more, and Seeker crushed it with great force. 

BOOM! 

The waters met a powerful sound shield that covered around Seeker. 

Seeker was shaking as he continued to contain the sound around him. 

More waters gathered, and soon Seeker was enveloped with a large ball of green water that continued to swirl and swirl. The Kraken's metal floor was slowly showing some damage as the twirling water grew brighter and brighter. 

Seeker was facing immense pressure. But he contained the sound force around him and closed his eyes. 

The Empress controlled the waters behind her to create large towering water, and it began to spin as if it was a drill. It was poised, ready to strike like a scorpion's tail. The wall of waters around the Kraken also began to glow. 

Seeker grit his teeth. 

"We should try it now," Seeker called to his Adult version. 

"The pressure is right... And what we are going to do should create a strange fluctuation. But the energy around us will mask the fluctuations of these changes. This is the perfect place to do that." Seeker continued. 

"You don't have to tell me since I'm still you, but wiser." The Adult reminded. 

Seeker and the Adult began to do something that no one in Earth's history was able to do. 

All these past months, and how he had treaded on various Paths and solidified him was all to awaken a certain power. Of the many Paths that Seeker encountered in his future, the Path of Realm King was the one he knew of the most. 

The Realm King treated Seeker as a Disciple and taught him and showed him his powers' fullness. Even though most of it never manifested in Seeker's future. But now, Seeker had a totally different form of foundation. He had a body that contained the marvelous foundations of so many other Heroes and Overcomers that he knew he could achieve it. 

The past month, Seeker allowed the different teams to experiment on what physical attributes could create different types of Unlocked bodies. But all of these were but the basics. 

The Covenant, Harker's Trio, and even Cliff's group all had a body that was categorized as an Unbecoming Body. None of the Overcomers even began their experiments on how to make an Inhuman Body. 

This was because Seeker prohibited them from doing it. The Realm King's knowledge, science, and possibly his inheritance from the Progenitor were necessary to make that body. Seeker knew that if they were to make a perfect Inhuman Body, they needed Realm science. 

But something happened to Seeker that practically allowed him to gain access to powers of Realm. 

The Adult Seeker awakened. When the Adult's soul took form, it was as if Seeker had a different means of accessing his memories. All the lessons that the future Seeker went through when he trained with the Realm King were once just memories that the young Seeker could view or watch from afar, as one watches a movie. 

But now, the Adult who could recall it also lived through it. He felt every pain, he went through every experiment, and this experience gave the Adult an edge compared to the Child. 

Seeker's body underwent a bizarre change. The Adult used his memory and the pain engraved on his heart to go through every specific change that was necessary to create Realm. Seeker never understood it before. But now, Seeker could see in the fourth dimension. When the Adult was being sent back in time, he saw a world that had over seven dimensions. 

With such foundations, Seeker was very confident in succeeding in this process. 

The Child was in charge of controlling the sound that protected Seeker, but at the same time, he also aided the Adult whenever the Adult would lose control over the changing cells. Seeker would forcible contain the cells to keep it from acting wildly. The process was painful. Seeker's entire body was starting to manifest in the fourth dimension. 

Meng could feel the great changes and gaze at Seeker. 

"It's like those Xianxia tales of old. Seeker is practically reaching a higher Realm in the middle of a battle." Meng chuckled. 

Seeker's control over the Realm grew stronger and stronger. 

The Adult finally stopped the channeling of energy that allowed him to grow a body part on the fourth dimension. 

"So, that's what he meant." The Adult finally understood it. 

The Realm King had talked about his powers and how to create it, but since he knew Seeker would never be able to understand it, the Realm King tried to change the means of his training and attempted several experiments to make Seeker stronger. But instead of teaching Seeker how to attack through the fourth dimension, he decided to teach Seeker how to improve his senses in the three dimensions. This was the best level that Seeker could reach. 

But now, Seeker could sense in those dimensions and be able to leave a part of his body on that dimension to create the power attacks that everyone would label as telekinesis. 

The Child actively wielded the sounds around him and moved forward. With the foundations set, Seeker's control on his Realm grew exponentially. He began to rush forward and finally moved out of the water. 

Suddenly, Seeker's body began to fly. 

Surmounting Strength occurred as Seeker flew right for the Empress. 

"Come!' Seeker laughed. 

The pillar of water immediately moved to sting the flying Seeker. 

And against all logical expectations, Seeker sent out a fist to meet the drilling water.
