Chapter 236 - The Call Of The Dead That Waits Dreaming
Seeker's fist contained the force of his strength. And along with his power, was the telekinetic force that flew along with his punch.
The area around his fist became his Realm. The sound condensed and became stronger as Seeker controlled and contained it within his fist. The energy his body emitted through Cold fusion and the radiation that his cancer cells released could now be wielded.
Cold fusion was used to create energy. And aside from this, another powerful energy was formed as Seeker's body emitting radiation through his cancerous cells. These two energies had no framework for working. At least, not on the three dimensions.
With the theories that his Master taught him, Seeker experimented and began to understand all those words.
The Realm King was called the Realm King because of his powerful Realm. In fact, while he couldn't kill any Overcomers, no Overcomers could kill him. He had the perfect defense. And all that knowledge was passed on to future Lynd and Seeker. Seeker never understood it, and Lynd could only draw out up to a fifth of the strength that the Realm King could create.
And so, out of the invisible air around him, Seeker's Realm gradually formed. It had energy in him as the various Path's that he met intersected.
His foundations were now even more significant than the Realm Kings.
As the punch was sent out, a force that was born within the fourth dimension moved explosive energy that appeared around Seeker.
BOOM!
It was as if the Origin water that took the form of a spinning spear met an invisible wall. The large water pillar splattered and could not pierce through and strike Seeker. The pillar of water retreated as it lost its head.
Several other pillars immediately appeared at the Empress's orders.
"Good! Since I know you won't die that easily, I can go all out to fool the world!" The Empress then commanded several more pillars to appear.
Each pillar came from one side of the wall, and it rushed out to attack Seeker.
"Realm Shield!" Seeker shouted. He used the remaining sound around him as the foundation that wrapped the energy of his Realm.
The Adult Seeker then focused on compressing the energy within.
The water pillars rushed, but all exploded as it reached a ten-meter parameter.
As the last pillar struck him from behind, Seeker immediately allowed his Realm to grow weaker and allowed the force to strike and throw him forward.
Seeker rode the force of the impact and even controlled the direction of his flight.
With his Realm, he now could do the one thing only the Realm King could do in his future. And that was to fly.
Seeker flew towards the Empress and gathered the energy on his fist. He crushed another Balls of Thunder and contained the sound explosion. Just like before, Seeker wielded this energy as it was compressed in the space around him.
Seeker's flight was so fast that the Empress was caught unprepared.
Seeker punched out on the water shield that protected the Empress.
"Did you know? Sound travels faster in water!" Seeker laughed.
BOOM!
The moment Seeker's fist touched the water, a vibrating explosion charged out and struck the Rule on all angles.
The Empress instinctively commanded her Rule to close and managed to avoid the crushing energy from the sounds.
The Rule was sent out of the water sphere because of the powerful strike. It crashed on the various structures of the Kraken before coming to a stop.
"Congratulations! We are finally beings that are not bounded in the three-dimensions! Could we be considered as angels in biblical history?" The Child laughed.
"No..." The adult Seeker answered with a weak voice. The transformation left tremendous pain in his soul, and the Adult's soul actually grew smaller.
"You should listen to Eagle more often. Nephilims means the Fallen Ones if we consider the strict Hebrew root of that word. Are we those who have fallen? We can't call ourselves that."
"You're right. We are those that Overcome. We don't fall, but we ascend. So... Alahims? I'm not too good in Hebrew."
"Just go with Realm Treader like what Master called it. I'll leave everything to you. I don't think I can wake up when you have your fight with Master. So you're on your own, kid. Just don't play around with girls. You will regret it..."
"Whatever you say, Mom." The Child chuckled as he glanced at the Empress.
"Now, I'm fighting this battle alone. I should take this time to master Realm. Otherwise, my Master will kill me." Seeker laughed.
The Empress no longer looked with a stupefied expression. She had long expected Seeker to be capable of creating such an attack.
She checked on the Rule and noted that parts of the Rule were damaged from the attack.
"These folks are amazing..." She praised.
"At least, I can be confident of my future with Chase together..." She sighed. She then urged the Rule to move forward once more.
"Who are you? What power did you wield?" The Empress asked angrily, putting on an act. She used her speakers to amplify her questioning to make the Emperor above hear it.
"It seems that the Empress of the Sea isn't qualified to know my name!" Seeker shouted as loud as he could and used the Balls of Thunder's remaining sounds to make it look like he had mysterious techs that could amplify sound.
Emperor Cort witnessed all this and immediately sent various messages with his emergency pings.
"I don't care about the consequences. We need the Empress to do a full Invoking! Her current power cannot defeat the enemy!" The Emperor reported.
As the Emeperor continued his report, Seeker was concentrating on gathering the energy. He was close enough to communicate to the Empress without making the others hear.
"Is this enough? I'm sure that I've damaged the Rule on that last attack." Seeker then asked with a normal voice.
"Yes. It should be enough. Be careful, though. My Invoking is not easily defeated." The Empress warned.
"Follow the plan. Richie... Anytime now..." Seeker also shouted in a supersonic frequency.
"Relax. The boys and girls of your team are escaping as we speak. I'm already in this Void Traveller also. I found the right chick to help me fight against the Tyrant Empress. So I'll be completing my mission, and will be off. I can't afford to spend time here if Arthur's predictions are right. So I hope for the best in your last missions." Richie laughed.
"Send us the coordinates. And remember... That attack... You must make sure that he won't be able to detect it."
"Just have the Empress use widescale attacks. I can assure you that he or she won't know what hit him."
"No. That's a he. I know him. He killed an entire army, including two Ranked Heroes, and injured one Overcomer. I'm sure it's him."
"Whatever... I'm out anyway. Too bad... I was betting against Arthur's prophecies." At that, Richie's voice vanished.
The Empress then heard the last instructions that Seeker hadn't told her. Richie was very detailed, and the Empress immediately recorded the coordinates.
After waiting for the time for Richie to finish his job, Seeker slowly walked towards the Empress and revealed how the area around him was actually stopping. Every raindrop falling within a few meters from Seeker would stop.
With a wave of his hands, the water dispersed.
Emperor Cort saw it and immediately sent the video feeds to report to the WGP what was happening.
As the Empress saw Seeker move, she knew it was time for her to do the Invoking. And this was undoubtedly one of the aces of the World Governing Powers.
"I invoke my right as an Emperess of the World. I beseech the Kingdom to heed my request. Grant me the strength to kill a god!" She shouted.
The moment she shouted, strange energy vibrated around the entire area. And then, there was silence.
The falling rain, the blowing winds, and the dark clouds all stood still as she made that Invoking.
Even Seeker was stunned.
The waters around them had stopped. The very storm itself stopped.
"What the?" Seeker was confused for a few seconds then realized it.
"Of course! We're in the middle of the ocean! The clouds itself must have been made up of the waters from the sea! And if this Kraken has been creating Origin energy, then that storm is made of it!"
"You better move." The Empress warned as she flashed a devilish grin on her face.
Even the water droplets around Seeker revealed that it contained Origin energy. It began to shake, and Seeker felt an incredibly dangerous feeling. The vibrations around him were telling Seeker that it was dangerous. This was Seeker imploying the foundation of Richie's Path.
Without hesitation, Seeker crushed two more Balls of Thunder and summoned his Realm. The Adult was no longer there, so Seeker had to control and contain the Peals of Thunder and his Realm.
A shield formed, and Seeker charged off and flew to the sky without hesitation. He moved as fast as he could to get away from the Kraken.
Up above, Meng also noticed Seeker's retreat and moved without hesitation.
The Titan sent out several attacks towards Meng on that last second.
A few seconds later, the water of the clouds, the water of the sea, began to rush towards the location where the Empress hovered.
The waters ran on top of the Kraken and did not follow the laws of physics. Water was moving at will and could even climb the skies.
Seeker felt a great sense of threat and flew faster and faster as Meng did his best to move as well.
The waters began to gather around the Rule, and a powerful bright green light flashed.
BOOM!
A powerful explosion that looked like a miniature hydrogen bomb shocked the skies.
Seeker was thrown off in the air and used his Realm to stop him from being thrown off.
Seeker knew that his speed wasn't fast enough to escape the explosion. He only had three more balls of thunder, so he decided to withstand it with his Realm alone.
"Master's punch could move an Orbital. What's a little shockwave to me?!" Seeker roared as he sent out a powerful punch. It was as if his fist temporarily disappeared as it was reflected on the fourth dimension.
BOOM!
A counter explosion erupted on front of him, but still, he was thrown back and had to control his landing.
Seeker's arm had several wounds as if the veins in his arms exploded. The pressure was too strong for him to resist on his own. Yet he managed to survive the powerful blast that was a level lower to Weapons of Mass Destruction.
"They really are scary. How pathetic of me. With all my advantages, I'm still not half as good as Master. Master would be so angry." He laughed to himself. Seeker gave another glance back at the Empress.
Suddenly, a green figure with large dark green wings emerged nearby.
"Greydon. You're alive." Seeker smiled.
"It seems that we need to work together to finish the plan." Meng's form revealed most of his body save for pieces of his clothes that he used to cover his face.
"Just as Arthur predicted. You look like you received quite a deadly attack."
"When the powerful explosion occurred, that Titan sent a powerful lighting attack. I was unable to evade it. It was a lighting attack similar to Lennox and had the properties of hardening. I was barely able to destroy it with my desolation."
"As expected of the WGP. I'm more curious now. How is it that the WGP failed to put up a fight when the Aragarians came? Just how powerful is the true strength of the Presiders if they managed to defeat the WGP from the inside?" Seeker's expression turned serious.
"Yes. This power that they wield is enough to destroy the world. Even if all the nations attack them, they will fail. Something must have happened in your future even during the peaceful days before you became a soldier."
"Regardless, if Arthur predicts that we can't save all of the WGP, then our plan is the most reasonable."
As he looked back at the Kraken, the pair's expression grew more and more solemn.
The water had risen from the ocean's level, and a strange creature over 300 meters long was standing on top of the ocean.
The Kraken was deep inside of this large monster. The monster's form was that of a human except that large tentacles were sprouting like beards on this human's massive head.
Right at the forehead was a bright silver object. This was the Rule, and, on the Rule, the Empress stood.
"I Call on the Dead that Waits Dreaming!" She shouted as the waters started to grow brighter and brighter. The Kraken was also glowing green light as strange energy that came directly from the Kraken reactors shone with bright energy and gave life to the water monster.
"Amid the black seas of infinity, I call on you!"
"Call of Cthulhu!"
The large sea creature began to create a strange shriek that created shockwaves around the area.
Waves of water rushed out and created powerful and large waves nearly hundreds of meters tall.
The towering form of the large water monster looked almost alive. It's tentacles swayed and moved, and it's large arms were slowly rising up on the sea.
"This seems troublesome. How do I get near that?" Seeker was in deep thought.
"It seems they're making it harder for us. The Titan is merging."
As Meng pointed out, the large Titan moved down towards the water monster and submerged itself. It stood right where the head of the creature was.
"Empress!" Emperor Cort called out as the Rule of the Empress moved and positioned itself next to the Titan. The Titan opened up, and the two moved inside.
A large water monster inside was the Kraken and the Titan, and right inside the Titan were two Rules that were powering the Invokings and were utilizing the power source from the Kraken.
"How was the Kraken not affected by that explosion?" Meng asked.
"Controlled explosions. The direction of where the force of their bombs had some form of intelligence. It wasn't just a bomb. It was a Bomb that had Realm science. What envious technology. We didn't have that. Only Arthur, who could calculate the range of the explosions and create forms when deploying it, could do similar things that that science could do. It would make the Atomic Thresher a hundred times stronger if he had that tech." Seeker could not help but glance greedily.
The Kraken appeared to be fine. The holes were now being repaired. Even with all the chaos that happened outside, it didn't affect them. In fact, the Kraken was now showing capabilities that even the Commander and the Admiral never knew existed.
The panic inside the Kraken remained as Commander Chase was nowhere to be found.
Only Emperor Cort could communicate with them and began to give his orders but was suddenly stopped by the Empress.
"Emperor Triton! Follow my orders!" The Empress immediately ordered.
Cort was stunned at the sudden orders.
"We have another enemy. Follow my plans precisely. We don't have much time! The enemy is stronger than us! If we don't act together, we will die!" The Empress said with an angry expression.
Cort could only nod.
"Tell the Commanders to support us with their energy and repair whatever is needed to be repaired and cut the line. I need your full attention for the enemy ahead! Record everything that is to happen and send it back to base, if we die, at least they can see everything!" She ordered.
The Emperor nodded and immediately relayed the instructions, not even giving the Commanders time to report the missing Chase.
The large monster was slowly moving towards the direction of where Seeker and Meng stood. It raised its large hand, which now had a large pillar of green water. It was as if the colossal creature held a large club.
It swung the large club like a baseball bat towards Seeker and Meng.
Seeker and Meng also moved with incredible speed.
"Let's finish this in one shot!" Seeker shouted with a loud voice as the enormous water club approached him to the sides.
