Chapter 241 - The Moon Killer
The science that Crostfree had was something that worked differently compared to the stronger Presiders.
Domain was classified as a Presider Level tech. It was a foundational science that allowed them to create changes in the fourth and succeeding dimensions. As for Crostfree, he was very knowledgeable about Domains because the foundational science that he pursued allowed him to peer into these dimensions. Both sciences were among the options that a Presider may claim upon reaching this level but these sciences. But if a newly ascended Pioneer would immediately claim this, it would probably be several hundreds of years before they could even make any sense of it!
But these Presiders had shown great wisdom in the combinations of sciences that allowed them to find a way to discover these technologies. For those who managed to understand these mysteries, the most popular approach was to select a science that allows them to manipulate things beyond the fourth dimension. The logic in this is by having a science that can manipulate and create changes in the dimensions beyond them can enable them to find where this dimension is and even sense it eventually.
Crostfree, however, chose a different way. The ambitious man sought the technological foundations that would allow him to discover where it was and find it. While others worked by getting something to reverse-engineer it, he sought for the tools to build it.
And so, his techs allowed him to find and manipulate space. It was not domain, but it was something that many Presiders who developed their domain could not do. They all could manipulate the domain only in a certain way. Crostfree's discovery allowed him to create an interdimensional weapon. His weapons, along with the few Pioneers who are faithfully serving him, and everyone else hid in this dimension forever.
This moon's hologram was a partial way of bringing out his ship from the dimensional space he created.
His mastery over this was so impressive that he believed he found the way for matter to take up two spaces at once. The curved space's bending allowed him to bring his large aircraft to be in the Fourth Dimension and be in the three dimensions.
But these sciences had a limitation. For one, the physical form of this structure was unstable. Crostfree was forced to reveal it but only brought out a part of the ship, and its translucent form meant that it wasn't as stable as it was. But for the sciences of Earth, Crostfree believed it was enough.
Even when the WGP launched its most potent attack, it was able to deflect it.
But now, a pathway was opened and could not quickly close as something foreign had entered it.
Crostfree was left to forcibly close the pathway and to either crush or push away the foreign entities.
Meng released the entire desolation to the area ahead of him. The powerful desolation made it harder for the ship's transition to taking place. Many parts of the vessel were receiving heavy damages. And the massive Armor was also recklessly attacking the area.
Harker began to overload the Solarium Eradicator as he shot none-stop. There was no time to worry about the possible side effects of overloading his weapon as he would soon die if he didn't.
But even with all this, Crostfree would have prevailed. His ship would be able to deal with the attacks and would receive some tolerable damages. But then it happened.
Seeker had seen it several times in his future timeline, and all of it was executed on precise timing. But every time Arthur did that, even to his death, they were always victorious.
The speed that one has to reach to be capable of performing it was so high. But the problem with the Threshing Floor was to estimate it. It could only drill through a certain distance. And Arthur was a master of that.
Seeker did not know what material he had to face and could not tell just how far he needed to go. But what he did have a lifetime worth of memories.
Arthur was the calculative type who always would find a way to make the necessary calculations to fight his way through. This was his means to reach the state that Heroes had wherein they would never give up.
Seeker, however, was someone who would genuinely never give up. He had the will of a Ranked Hero, and through his efforts and strengths, he managed to imitate Arthur's attacks. It was weaker, but that solidified his position as Death Tide Carlean.
But things were different now.
He was no longer a Hero who only had wits, will, and luck. He was an Overcomer.
And his powers were growing at an incredible pace.
Sound, Lighting, Cold Fusion, Desolation, and Realm. These were his arsenals that made this push possible.
He knew what sciences and equipment were needed to perform the attack. Arthur relied on Nuclear Power to generate the energy required to do this. Seeker relied on the many miracles his body had trodden on.
A screeching sound could be heard as Seeker's figure began to rotate faster and faster.
The Threshing Floor appeared for the first time in Seeker's current timeline.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The attacks did not only strike the closing pathway in the first three dimensions. Using the little knowledge he had of the dimensions beyond the third, each attack caused the transitioning and translucent spacecraft of Crostfree to become unstable. And in this instability, various pieces of this ship began to explode and disappear as it could no longer exist in both dimensions.
The drilling force pierced through as various pathway pieces were visibly being torn to pieces and moved at a very quick speed.
Crostfree was so surprised and immediately activated his suit's power and brought forth a powerful, strange grey armor.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Seeker's attack's speed was halted, but he continued to rotate like a large drill trying to pierce through an incredibly hard object.
Crostfree began to send out a strange, powerful explosive attack, but it was all eaten up by the strange green force that accompanied Seeker.
Crsotfree was slowly being pushed back by the attacks. But every time he would be knocked back, powerful electric energy would draw him towards Seeker and made Crostfree's attempts to escape fail.
The attacks' damage level was reaching a critical level, and Crostfree himself had various wounds from the vibrating impacts that seemed to penetrate through the suit. The suit's defense mechanisms that protected the pilot were not enough to block the shockwaves and vibrations. If not for Crostfree's True Judge body, he would have been killed.
Suddenly a large ship moved from the sides and smashed on Seeker as a bright white glow surrounded the ship.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Several powerful explosions occurred as an explosion that used Cold Fusion erupted out. The ship of Pridgeon had used its remaining energy and self-destructed.
The explosions caused Seeker to be sent flying backward. Pridgeon's ship was obliterated from the clash.
Crostfree was also thrown back but was caught by Pridgeon.
"Who is that?! No! What is that!" A shocked expression emerged from Pridgeon. The Presiders were very clear with regard to the power levels among Presiders. And yet, the mighty Crostfree would have died if not for Pridgeon's intervention.
Seeker's figure could be seen. Most of his suit was damaged, and cracks were appearing on the masks he was wearing.
"Ugh. I almost forgot about you." Seeker spoke in a deep and strange voice.
"Lost Primordial! You thought you'd seen the last of us! But now, the stage is evenly set! You called yourself a god, but even the gods have bled! We've killed all of your Pioneers in the War back then, and we will kill you now!" Seeker laughed.
Crostfree's expression soured.
Pridgeon was just as shocked. He knew of the Lost Primordial and deduced that the two 'demons' he met were these Lost Primordial. But now, there was another group that had the strength to fight against them.
"How have you grown stronger?!" Crostfree decided to go with the flow.
"Heh! Do you think that the Progenitor only left one inheritance? When we defeated you, we also found another. Now die!" Seeker motioned.
It was time for 'him' to act.
Harker had thrown his shoulder cannon, which was reaching critical levels.
At the same time, Harker's massive Armor revealed a small opening on the back, and a figure emerged.
The figure glanced at the distance and frowned.
"It's too far!" He cursed.
"Do it. That man will help you!" Meng answered back.
"Remember our deal. I do this, and my men walk free!�� He cursed and jumped towards the shoulder cannon of the Armor.
Immediately, he disappeared.
The Large shoulder canon also disappeared along with him!
As he moved, he was surprised to find that the dimensional road that he would usually thread on was very clear and without any strange obstacles. He could see a large object surrounding him just as it was outside. But of course, he already knew this. Ever since Harker's Armor caught him, he had been keeping an eye on the battle inside the Armor. Something odd was happening in the dimensions that he usually would travel on with that technique.
Carrying the large cannon would have been impossible. But here, in this place, gravity was a force that he could evade. And without the usual obstacles, he was moving faster than he could. But his stamina was running out. It was then that he noticed it. A peculiar spark of lightning could be seen in the dark and strange dimensions he was at.
"This must be it! His pull." The man gritted his teeth and walked towards the small spark of lightning.
Upon making contact, he was suddenly pulled and went out of the dimensions.
He appeared right next to Seeker.
His figure was charred from the intense electricity, but his eyes remained focused.
Immediately, he removed his hold over the Large shoulder cannon that was traveling at an incredible speed.
Seeker grasped on the man.
"Now!" He shouted.
Rai immediately turned back and did his teleportation.
Seeker disappeared, and all that was left in the closing passageway was the large shoulder canon.
"What?! Where did he-" Pridgeon was shocked. Seeker and the man who suddenly appeared with the shoulder cannon disappeared as quickly as he appeared.
"Get behind me, you idiot!" Crostfree ordered as he began to force his weapons out.
The large shoulder canon was forced into a critical state. But this wasn't unintentional. This was all according to Arthur's calculation.
BOOM!
A powerful solarium bomb exploded with might that would be on par compared to weapons of mass destruction.
Rai was cursing. He was bleeding out of all his eyes and ears, but he endured the teleportation.
Seeker aided him and used his telekinesis powers to further throw them in the dimensions they were traveling in.
Harker and Meng had begun retreating the moment they thew out the hammer.
Seeker and Rai suddenly emerged near them as they raced out of the exploding blast.
Because the blast happened right in the middle of the craft, most explosive energy could not leak out. But it looked like the large red moon suddenly spat out a green wave of fire.
The Pangean fleet did not waste any second and bombarded it with a lot of firepowers.
Another large rocket was launched, and because the moon was no longer fighting back its defenses, it slowly gave way and allowed the large rocket to move inside.
This was the most potent weapon of mass destruction that Pangea had. It did not have the same size and range that other weapons of Mass destruction could do, but it still had a power that could do just the same damage, even more, when detonated at the right place.
The science relied on Solarium and Eradication technology. It was a flame that would generate tremendous heat by causing the molecules of every matter that the balefire would hit.
It was similar to the Hellfire tech but was allowed since Hellfire would cause heat to spread and damage the environment. This weapon would only affect the objects immediately struck by the bomb. In short, all the environmental consequences and hazards were not present in this weapon.
The foundational sciences were different, but their effects were treated the same.
The Balefire Eradication Kinetogenic Isodiabatic Bomb ended the clash between SPU and Pangea when the South East Asian Continental War escalated. The All-Terrain Mobile Behemoth that the SPU revealed broke several rules of the WGP. The WGP granted Pangea authority to use one Weapons of Mass Destruction, and this was Pangea's answer.
When the BEKI bomb erupted, the main army of WGP housed inside the Mobile Behemoth was incinerated. The SPU was confident that not even a nuclear bomb could penetrate through their techs, but they never expected such a concentrated weapon to appear.
BOOM!
The moon-faced the sun as it blasted out and incinerated a huge half of the moon.
The red moon's figure could be seen distorting, and then suddenly. It was fading away. It was as if the sun next to it had outshined it. Slowly, the red moon that was turning more and more unstable disappeared.
The video feeds of Pangea had already been sent home, and when victory was confirmed, they began to live-stream the attack.
Videos of the red moon that shot down the Kraken and the monstrous powers of the WGP and defeated it were now being shown everywhere.
Amidst the smoke and fire and the strange red lights' chaotic flashes, a large Armor dashed out of the heat.
Its figure was burnt and charred. It had various damaged areas, and the large shield that was once in its left hand was burnt, and even its right hand showed signs of significant burns.
With a loud voice, the pilot of the Armor shouted.
"Soldiers of Pangea! This is our victory!" The voice announced.
What followed next was a cheerful cry of great delight.
The soldiers and officers who controlled the video feed all allowed their voices of cheers to be heard.
The battered form of the massive Armor moved closer and closer to the main army, and the boarding doors of this Armor finally opened.
As the doors opened, the heat trapped inside finally gave way, and a tired, but dignified figure emerged.
It was the figure that everyone knew and loved.
The majestic, glorious, unparalleled, undisputed, illustrious, eye-popping, eyebrow-raising, breath-taking, heart-stopping, spine-chilling, most amazing General of the Heroes Army. Who else could this man be? But the Moon Killer himself. Harker Cipril. The Light of Pangea.
"Pangea! No! I call on to the world! A threat that could defeat the WGP exists! We have long been preparing for this day, but the day to rise against them stands! These monsters only want to enslave us all! I do not know what they plan, but today's battle should be a wake-up call! We cannot be complacent! We must unite! Only then-"
"General! Enemy attack!" A voice could be heard through General Harker's speaker.
Suddenly, a hand emerged from the back and pulled General Harker back inside, and the doors immediately closed.
Several bluish bolts of lightning emerged from the sea and attacked Harker's Armor.
At that moment, almost all of the flying structures that brought Harker's armies were attacked. Explosions began to occur left and right, and various structures fell.
The Armor of Harker dashed as several lightning bolts from the sea appeared.
The number of bolts that came out of the sea was too numerous.
The various structures moved forward to save Harker and took in the damage to block most attacks from reaching Harker.
