It had been exactly three days since that incident, and Seeker finally received the reports from Harker.

Several cameras that Harker placed around the city and had the capacity to resist the EMP bomb caught portions of that battle.

"General. We are ready to move." A young woman reported.

Seeker stopped watching the feeds and turned around.

"Good. Let's begin." Seeker walked out. His countenance and usual demeanor had changed.

The young woman noticed it but said nothing.

On the dark of that night, an entire army set out. It used the strongest cloaking technologies that it could employ to make their abandonment of that base hidden from anyone.

The Twelve Disciples have taken control of various organizations and made

An entire army continued to move in silence, and with the amazing preparations that the Twelve disciples prepared for, the march of this army was unhindered and unnoticed. In that army was a large train-like vehicle.

Inside were several large computers and a very peculiar sports-car that could move faster than most flying constructs. It was the very same car that Arthur drove when he wreaked havoc in Australia.

Seeker continued to observe the features being added to it while at the same time looked through the many reports from all over the world.

The fall of the Kraken created a void of the uninhibited relay of communications between the nearby countries. As such, Seeker could receive news from his allies who were based in China.

With Nogard Meng's secret route that allowed quick communication, the information that came even as far as New Great Britain would reach him quickly. Seeker continued to glance at the many reports that were being sent through the established communication relay while talking with Harker. Suddenly, one of Harker's statements caused the Overcomer Seeker to meet an abrupt halt in his tasks.

"I have to what?" Seeker asked again.

"Marry Lara." Harker repeated.

"I already proposed on your behalf."

"You're not my dad! Why do I have to marry her? Lara- No! Zeraphine, the Aragarian Presider!?"

"This is Arthur's plan."

"Did Arthur foresee how strongly I would refuse this suggestion!"

"He did. But he said you'd agree once I finish my explanations."

"That son of a prophet!" Seeker cursed.

"He said you would appreciate it. He predicted that this Lara betrayed you in your past. But this time, it is us who holds the cards. Marrying her is very beneficial for our group. She will be investigating us. You can use your memories to guide just how far or how deep her previous connections ran. That way, we could gauge or make an estimate of what her techs were and use it to make her think that she's investigating us. We can lead her and even the Presiders themselves into doing our bidding. Another part of Arthur's plan was to erode further the relationships that these Presiders have with each other. If we make it look like Pridgeon is after the legacy of the Lost Primordial, which he is really after, it will throw their group into disarray." Harker explained.

Seeker couldn't react. But the prospect of marrying Lara was shocking.

"Arthur even said that if you still want Kristine or decided to choose her at the end of all this, then killing Lara would be even easier. You'll have the trigger to the gun anytime. Kill her, marry her, torture her, it's all up to you. However, Arthur is against you having both her and Kristine together. Kristine's already been through so much following after Arthur that he doesn't want that to happen with you." Harker relayed everything.

"I hate you guys." Seeker couldn't argue. Those were the greatest advantages that they would hope to acquire.

"Don't worry. Lara thinks her little mind-control worked. Well, actually, it did. I allowed myself to be mind-controlled and fought against it after proving its purpose in convincing her. She is currently after the trail of Lynd. Have you received our reports about Lynd?"

"Yes. I am viewing it right now. The good news is he finally developed it."

"He hates you to the bones now."

"I know. That was the one thing I couldn't let go of. I knew the memories of my future self and that it has always been extreme rage that benefited Lynd. The incident in Malay-Pangea proved that. But what could make him all the angrier than being betrayed by the person he trusted the most?" Seeker sighed.

"I'm surprised that you could make that choice. You've finally matured. Or no… I guess it's because you have that adult self of yours making these mature decisions for you."

"Rai and his group are watching from afar. Lynd will live." Seeker assured.

"I know you don't believe that, but you're just optimistic. This whole scheme won't work if you don't believe that Lynd could die."

"That is why I sent Rai to help observe and help him create a way out. But enough of Lynd… How have the WGP moved?"

"Just as Arthur predicted. A Pangean craft has been positioned on several locations around Australia. Of course, considering Arthur predicted that the most viable escape route you have is to the East, I have prepared more soldiers there. That kid is very amazing. He even foresaw this. In a weeks' time, there will no longer be a nation called Australia."

"New Great Britain, Russia, and Pangea are all ready to attack. When the WGP begins their attack, they will follow. Anyway, I still a lot to do. The mess of Lynd's battle is drawing a lot of questions. I'm putting your fiancé to work." Harker laughed and immediately disconnected.

Seeker continued to watch the video feeds that depicted Lynd's battles. The video files that were given to Seeker were already arranged according to the chronology and the direction of Lynd's escape.

"You're a monster." A voice spoke at the back.

"Why do you say so? Haven't you and your team been monsters themselves, Cronus?" Seeker laughed.

"Monster? We fought against invaders! Your damned Jewish friends all lied to us! They said that you would liberate Australia! And yet you plan to burn it down?!" The leader of Git Godlike was shouting angrily.

He was the only one who was conscious as others were being treated on the devices at the back.

Cronus was being locked in place by several mechanisms that prevented him from moving.

"I am going to liberate Australia. I'm here to burn a country that would, in the future, be so evil that they'd kill twice the millions that will die here! See? I'm saving this country from piling up wrath for themselves! In my future, Australia grew so strong because of Aragarian tech that they abused their position and made great trouble in the South Asian nations. But now, they won't have the chance! In the future, since this country will be so weak and useless, the residents will flee to those Cities of Refuge and be part of the good team. Team human!" Seeker smiled as he walked towards the angry Cronus.

"Bullcrap! I don't care if you're from the future! You don't have the right to decide the fate of the innocent!"

"I am not deciding the fate of the Innocent. I'm deciding the fate of the guilty. By destroying their power and scattering them, they will be more level headed. Besides, I won't be leading the attack right now. I'll just be taking advantage of it! True, Pangea is waiting to attack Australia, but didn't you hear that little call of ours? Surely, with your Unlocking, you heard it!"

"You're insane! The only reason why the WGP will attack Australia is because of what you did at the Kraken! You used an EMP bomb! Of course, the WGP would blame Australia! But you caused all this! Australia will burn! How does it feel to have the blood of millions and millions on your hands?"

"A bit sticky." Seeker laughed.

"You're insane! You just want to kill people and massacre them! You're condemning an entire nation over some grudge and some memories!"

"I caused all of this? No! Those Aliens who treat humans like cattle started all of this! But just so you understand where I'm from, I'll let you see the emotions that I felt when Australia attacked Pangea!"

Seeker drew closer to Cronus, and it was as if Cronus could see strange visions around him.

He could several soldiers bearing Australian uniforms ravaging Pangea. The mass executions that Australia did also came to form.

Cronus saw how the Australians humiliated, rapped, and even killed publically the people of Pangea, the SPU, and even the other countries within the South Asian regions.

"These are all that I saw on the news that I watched. But Australia did more, much more prior to this! You see, they had grown so powerful that no nation in the South Asian region could fight against them. But they saw it beneath them to kill and attack the soldiers. The sudden rise of power made Australia mad. They didn't even use their weapons against Pangea! For the SPU, they used weapons of mass destruction. Oh, I wish they did that to Pangea. But to Pangea, they starved us out. They burned our farmlands and cut the lines of resources. Do you know why they did that?" Seeker smiled. But his smile was very malicious and full of hate.

"You see, when the Aragarians came, they revealed their ideology. They revealed how technological advancement is the key. They presented their wondrous techs and showed that humans are all unequal. Our planet valued equality. And the first thing they did is remove that delusion on the countries that allied with them."

The visions that Seeker revealed showed how Seeker read the reports of how people in his hometown began eating each other. The starvation drove many made. Some of those were Seeker's classmates. Cronus could feel the heavy bloodlust that Seeker had.

"To be honest, they did have something interesting and worthwhile to preach. They value usefulness. What is a person locked in his own room, typing out words like equality or justice when that person has contributed absolutely nothing to society? The Aragarians valued humans who will be useful to society and abhors humans who are not useful to society. And that means that if a person cannot contribute anything to make this society better, they are only useful to be abused and enslaved. Hence their society that created the hierarchy of Planteds, Pioneers, and Presiders."

There were visions of people being enslaved and forced into forced labor. Some would tie a live human and used them as meat shields for Exoskeletons rushing towards the battle.

"I do not fully blame Australia for their choice in allying with the Aragarians. When the Aragarians revealed themselves, it was as if the choice was a no-brainer for most countries. For Australia, they realized that they had no choice but to ally with the Aragarians since most of their government, military, and people who gave them food, jobs, and money were all Aragarians! You've seen it! Even your employers are funded by Pioneers! That's why the Twelve Disciples went through all that trouble to dismantle their plans!"

Cronus then saw Seeker standing over Australia's ruined bases as he watched the many videos of the experiments the Australians made.

The visions then focused on the many online videos that were burned into Seeker's hearts. The Australian conquerors did anything, and everything to show their worth to the Aragarians and even carried out various experiments on humans' many bodies.

"Do you see it? Everyone, every single one of your countrymen, did these wicked things to mine. And wrath and justice dictate your death, but what did we do? We changed the fate of your countrymen. Their hands will now be free from these bloody future! Your country will suffer, but it will be reborn! Millions will die, but it will change the future fate of your country! Or would you rather have that future where your country is immediately destroyed? Let me show you something interesting. It's something not even Arthur predicted." Seeker laughed.

And the visions changed.

Blood.

Gore.

Hundreds of kilometers of blood pouring like a river. It was deep that some cars were totally submerged by the blood.

The blood was as deep as a horse's bridle and extended out.

The mere sight of this vision made Cronus weak.

"This is what happened to all your countrymen… Is this what you want? Or would you rather that I cause suffering now? Do you think I'm insane? I'm very merciful, Cronus."

"How? What- What was that?"

"Your future should we not do this. You see, in the future, Australia was very much against the rest of humanity that decided to fight the Aragarians. And those countries met the wrath of the Overcomers." Seeker smiled.

"So would you rather have that?"

Cronus kept trembling. The sight was too much. The blood was so horrifying. Even Seeker, who saw that felt a great sense of fear.

"Your immediate family members are all being escorted out. Also, I've selected certain people who I know would be your respective partners. That's the extent of my mercy. Your other relatives will be left to fend for themselves. Of course, that is if you successfully accomplish your next mission. Should you fail, then I'll leave them when we retreat."

Cronus was crestfallen.

"You're asking me to betray my country?"

"I'm asking you to side with humanity."

"The whole world at the palm of your hands… and you declare a genocide?"

"Better me than those Aragarians. The genocide they will make is far more inhumane. At least, in my genocide, it will give billions of people to make the right stand and choice. They won't have a government that can dictate lies to them. My job right now is to fight a man who was part of the reason why you saw that vision."

"What?!" Cronus trembled once more.

"Crazy, right? That's why I'll need your help. Cronus, you've fought and even defeated the Covenant of the Strongest. Arthur's been very helpful when he waged war in Australia, and now it'll be your turn to prove your worth. The Realm King awaits. And I have brought an army to face him. But even then, I might lose."

Cronus was silent. He turned and look to his teammates.

"If we do our job well… You won't kill us?"

"Why would I kill you? If you perform well enough, I will give you the same techs that we've given to the Covenant. And you will have a shot at defending the coming massacres. I suppose this will act as both your training ground. The chances are slim, but the truth is, if you succeed in defending Australia, I have greater use for you." Seeker smiled.

"The same techs that the Covenant has? Alright. I'll talk it over with my team."

Seeker smiled and went over to check on his beloved sports car. He opened the lid, and the engine that this car had, had a very strange object found at the heart of the engine.

It was a live, beating heart.

"Looks like my cells are properly in place. What an amazing man Charles is.." Seeker smiled and gazed lovingly at the car.
