Chapter 286 - New Creation
While Lowengren had deceived Flantter and caused the Caliphate base to be wary of an invisible enemy from the skies and conflict within the command centers as alleged traitors were being arrested and even killed, Alean had finally seen the Exoskeleton that she would wear.
Alean was stunned to see the appearance of the Supreme Exoskeleton.
"Amazing. It's using Desolation and Frost to power it!" Charles admired. His suit only had Desolation force from Pangean Eradication and Solarium tech to power it. But this one had a dual source.
"Such energy means that it could practically shoot and attack without waiting for cooldowns so that the materials won't break. The frost is cooling the system!" Charles continued to analyze the schematics that Lennox V2.3 showed him.
"This Presider Straviaa has a rather interesting way of creating power sources. The Exoskeleton she lent to Pioneer Flantter uses cores. It's very similar to the Immortals of Chinese cultivation novels, which creates power sources within the dantian. The energy itself is self-sufficient. I think the tech that this Presider has touched upon how to make a human being transform into these powerful characters." Lennox V2.3 explained.
"You mean, this can be applied in a human?"
"Yes. Whether or not this Presider realizes it, this Exoskeleton is a blueprint that could help us craft a Rank Heroes body. This will also save us a lot of energy. Instead of equipping our soldiers with devices that can feed them large amounts of energy to fuel their Unlocking, we craft their bodies so that it can sustain and create the energy on its own!"
"But that sounds impossible!"
"Not so. If angels are real, where do you think they acquire the energy and power that they have? You are still thinking of housing energy in the body of a three-dimensional human. Your study and discovery in the Unlocking are the first to breach the three-dimensions. That is how the body is transformed. If we can understand the science behind it, we can fulfill what the Bible has long promised and what Eagle believes to be the goal of our studies."
"You mean, to become a New Creation?"
"The Old has passed, and the New has Come. We cannot pour new wineskin into old wineskin, for it will burst. We have to turn our fleshly bodies into this new wineskin to receive a body of the new wine."
"Well… We do have Meng's strange humanly composition. Next, we have Seeker, who has treaded on that to create it."
"That will be your new mission, Charles. In Seeker's future, you gave us the Unlocking. Now finish it. Change this body of death to a glorious one!"
"You're quoting Eagle, Lennox. Anyway, I can settle that later. For now, we fight. Alean, your suit awaits." Charles gestured.
"While all of that is good and all, you haven't noticed the most apparent features of this Exoskeleton!" Alean complained.
"What?" Charles was confused.
"Why are all my weapons shaped like dildos? I thought all grudges are paid, Lennox!?" Alean glared at the monitor.
"That has nothing to do with having grudges. Blame Lowengren for this one. He has already started these lies. In his original plan, he did not foresee my involvement in this battle. But not that I could craft such weapons, he wanted to use the already established lies and create more terrifying scenes."
"Create more terrifying scenes? What are you talking about?"
"You should know what Lowengren schemes. The more we add distractions and confusions to the WGP and the Aragarians, the more time we buy for ourselves. Lowengren intends to make the Aragarians chase after a non-existent tech!"
"Are you saying…?"
"Yes. He wants the WGP and possibly the Aragarians to waste time studying dildos after this battle. He also thinks it to be funny. Frankly, he's right. If a Presider spends and wastes resources in studying and analyzing these dildos, it could only benefit us."
Alean was amazed. Even with her ability, she did not expect that Zone would lead them to create such amazing results.
"In any case, you will need to showcase the might of the dildos."
"That sounds… just wrong."
"You won't be Alean's A.I? I think I can manage the ship."
"No. I have already divided myself once and chose to divide my energy with Lowengren. I did it to spite him, but it seems it is beneficial. But I do not have the energy or ability to divide it again. I will remain here and continue to reform this ship so that it will be ready to reunite and merge with the Kyogre. I suspect my ship will receive damages and need to recover the energy. Charles, you have to go back and assist General Vender in piloting the Kyogre. We will combine the ship when we get the chance."
"Looks like you got some great techs as spoils in this battle! Seeker will be so jealous of you." Charles laughed.
"Jealous? I've just received word from my main body of what he plans to do. He plans to capture an entire Kraken and an Atlantis. He also plans to abduct Emperors. The only advantage I have would be the Supreme Exoskeleton that Lowengren gave me."
"Wait, what? An entire Kraken and an Atlantis? Even I wouldn't dare dream for something so big!" Alean was stunned.
"Yes. That is clearly the current size of your dreams. Is it big enough?" The image of Lennox pointed at one of the weapons equipped in the Exoskeleton.
Alean nearly cursed at Lennox.
"Remember that your Path came from Seeker. The same Path lies within Seeker. Why do you think me and my son follow his instructions? It's because he has been treading on the Path of Zone for a long time. His recklessness has not yet caused our disadvantages. If anything, we've always ended up gaining more. Such is the Path of Zone. My casual interference brought me great gain. You and Lowengren must get stronger. He that treads in the Council of the Wicked treads a very perilous path. Only you and your Path can secure his rise to be an Overcomer."
Alean was silent.
"Lowengren has what you lack, and you have what Lowengren needs. But Seeker has both. He has the insanity and recklessness, but at the same time, he has his future self-showing him the way."
"Then I guess I have no choice but to wear this perverted mechanism!"
"This man will accompany you outside. He will fight with you as a façade."
Suddenly, Commander Salathiel emerged wearing a rather embarrassing Exoskeleton. Dildos were protruding out on the various parts of his body. But what was strange was this was still very clearly the suit of a WGP Commander.
"M-Madame… Monsignor." Commander Salathiel trembled as he greeted the two.
"Lennox! I told you to stop making people you brainwash call me that!"
Alean glanced at the poor Commander and feared whatever Lennox did inside. And this was just Lennox V2.3. Alean could not imagine what the real one could do.
"You two will fight outside. Commander Salathiel. Keep yourself linked to the comm channel of this ship."
"Yes, Master." Salathiel trembled.
"Good. And as promised, no harm will befall the Fleet Admiral. I will prove to you that everything I've shown you is true. Alean Cipril and Lowengren should be necessary proofs already. Betraying me will betray Everhiss all the more. And more, much more pain will befall you should you betray me…"
Salathiel trembled once more.
"But if you accomplish this… Then I will bestow on you that power as a gift."
Salathiel couldn't help but grip his fist.
"Fine."
"Anyway, the sentences you speak or communicate will only be released after I validate it. So don't even think of warning your allies."
BOOM!
A loud sound erupted.
"Go. The Kyogre cannot handle any more punishment. Tsk. That Vender is so dull. The enemy can't see him, but he still wasted an entire karaoke session of Richie!"
Before Alean or Charles could make any heads or tails to this statement, the ship itself prepared for the departure of the suits.
"Salathiel will go out first. Alean, chase him. Charles, move on my orders and get my- your ship back." Lennox laid out the plans.
"Go! Lowengren has already informed Vender what to do. You'll have an opening in reaching the base despite how this Exoskeleton is not able to replicate Peals of Thunder."
Alean quickly wore his suit, and the group immediately moved into the separate ways. Vender received his orders and began to make preparations.
Salathiel's dildo padded Exoskeleton emerged and raced towards the surface.
"Let's test this Exoskeleton. What's this New Creation. I hope it won't disappoint!" Alean raced out of the ship and chased after Salathiel.
The sea and sand battled against each other in a very chaotic manner. To hide the presence of the WGP, the Kyogre had also submerged underwater.
The storm had caused a strange electric distortion that made it difficult to sense. The ocean itself was moving in a chaotic manner as the waters pushed from the sudden sound explosions. And so the Caliphates could not detect the movement of the Kyogre underwater.
But because of the Dune World, Vender could not detect the location of the enemy as well. The only option was to launch attacks at each other by firing at the last location where any signals were detected. Both began to use mortars and various point-and-fire weapons that did not have heat, electro, or tech seeking capabilities.
BOOM!
A loud explosion occurred, which sent the waters reaching thirty meters above sea-level.
"Haha! Miss me again, you land buffoon!" Vender laughed as the explosion did not hit him.
The Kyogre returned fire by using metallic orbs designed with One China electro-magnetic technology.
BOOM!
The attack did not make landfall, but it was as if it struck something in the stormy sand storm.
"Haha! I sank your Armor! I end my turn!" Vender announced heroically.
Due to the oddly familiar circumstance, Vender began to play Battleship.
The WGP was stunned at this battle and the eccentric actions of Vender.
"I thought he said he would charge out?" One of the Commanders asked.
"This is the best way. He is lowering the enemy's guard with this. Of course, I doubt it. The sandstorm above would immediately detect us the moment we surface above ground." Magantae explained.
"So he's looking for an opening?"
"Or he's waiting for something. Besides, the Caliphates have been acting rather odd. They did not attack anymore! Maybe something happened in the base that we don't know about. Whatever he plans, we ride the wave he creates. Has he made any other contacts apart from what he is broadcasting publically?" Magantae asked Drinths.
Drinths had managed to communicate with Gender Vender. In fact, the distress signal he gave was immediately answered. But after their initial talk, Vender did not communicate again.
"No." Drinths sighed.
"What about the Sand Thing he said we should give him? Any findings on any possible Caliphate weapons or techs with that name?" Magantae asked the other soldiers.
When Drinths had communicated with Gender Vender, the eccentric captain of the ship said he wanted something called the Sand Thing. Although Drinths felt that Gender Vender was unsure and sounded like he just made up the name on the last second, he still had to report it to Magantae, who immediately ordered him to research that name.
"Admiral. I believe that man was just making up that name. He might have other reason in helping us."
"Yes. I doubt the Caliphates would name a weapon with such a stupid name. This is a very infuriating man." Magantae cursed.
"Hey, kiddies! Something's happening to that ship you have. Now you might be wondering how I detected your ship. I was able to detect your ship because… erm… your ship… Is…" Vender suddenly communicated to Drinths. Drinths had already opened the line so that the rest of his team could hear Vender.
"You see… My ship can communicate with dolphins. And um… my dolphin, Dolphy told me he saw your ship."
"What?" Magantae was more confused than salmon playing the tuba.
"Anyway… Two smaller forces are battling on the sea, and it's headed towards the Caliphate base! Your ship seems fine. The signal it's giving seems alright. I- I mean. Dolphy told me it's good. But there are strange fluctuations in the sea. It's even more terrifying than my Lighting Tech. You know, the one that I er… got from Lando. Anyway… not sure if it's your ally, but whatever that lightning energy is, the Green Lantern is chasing it. That should draw their attention. I can make another attack to hide you."
The Commanders turned to Magantae.
"It must be Commander Salathiel! The green lantern must be that Commander!"
"Commander must have successfully equipped and figured out how to use the Lightning Rod and General Vender's weapon! He must have set the ship to autopilot to escape!" One of the Commanders deduced.
"He did it to sacrifice himself for us. But what shall we pursue? Success, or safety?" Magantae asked. She dared not make a decision. She knew that General Vender has taken a strange place in her heart and would make her make reckless decisions.
"We follow your orders, Admiral." Drinths immediately answered, and the rest nodded.
Magantae clenched her fist and reminded herself that she was a WGP Fleet Admiral of the Atlantis. But at the same time, she recalled the brave image of Vender.
"Tell that Gender Vender to move now! We move towards the base! We find those dildos, capture or kill that Commander and save General Vender Hirock!" Magantae declared.
