Chapter 397 - The Power Of Water
Garenjazz watched as the chaos was getting worse and worse. His face was turning more and more conflicted.
"Too much! What's going on? This chaos is supposed to help me?" Garenjazz frowned. He had seen how Myrth's ship was suddenly hurling over the European nations and disappeared without a trace. Earth was becoming more and more guarded. And the Principal was scheduled to arrive within two months!
Earth has taken a turn for the worse. The sudden appearance of these large ships will draw even more panic.
"Looks like it's every Presider for themselves. Earth will be afraid, and Presiders will probably create alliances with each nation now. The Prime Orbital will probably be used as a sanctuary for the fights against each Presider. Whichever Presider will step outside of that Orbital has the intentions of waging war with the rest...."
He then noticed the many movements with the WGP.
The World's Helm was assuming its war form.
The massive floating city slowly began to rise. The underwater parts were now revealed.
"Oh... How formidable. That is the World's Helm true form, eh? Only Top-Tiers would be confident in challenging that. It looks like my plan in wiping out and stealing the techs of the WGP won't be possible anymore. But how is this to my advantage?" Garenjazz closed his eyes and journeyed into the dream world.
Back in the land of Egypt, the desert storm of locusts and wind continued to harass the large ship. Most of the defenses and efforts of this large saucer were focused on defending the attacks of the Moon and the large Pyramid that was approaching.
The large saucer began to release an electromagnetic pulse, but the Pyramid was also releasing something to counter the pulse. As a result, the swarm of locusts also began to retreat as those that were exposed to the electrical pulse would suddenly die.
There were other attempts that the flying saucer was using to weaken and destroy the rockets and other weapons being used against it, but the Moon and the Pyramid had used their techs to stop these attempts from pushing through.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Several massive explosions covered the sky under the saucer in an attempt to destroy the tornado that was kicking up a dust storm and aiding the sandstorm technology. The sandstorm also protected the locust is it stopped the reach of the explosion.
The combined might of Sandstorm and Locust techs were finally showing itself to the world.
The tornado disappeared as another massive bomb exploded, and the sandstorm also died. But by then, Andronze had already positioned Egypt's armies.
Aside from the armies that Arthur and Harker broke, several mobile bases in the underground region had deployed their forces and have already appeared on several locations underneath the large saucer.
The Caliphates forces have also arrived and began to attack at the request of Egypt. Most nearby countries were contacted, and granter air and sea clearance sent their forces to join the skirmish. And many forces obliged. The threat was just too much for them to ignore, and if the saucer falls, they might acquire many weapons and techs from the fall of these massive structures.
As the tornado disappeared, Hermes and his winds were racing towards a certain location to meet them.
The team of Unlocked had already positioned themselves right under the battlefield of the moon and the saucer by using the underground tunnels of Egypt.
"We are seriously going to attempt to kill a Top-Tier Presider?" Seeker's father, Chris Carlean, exclaimed at the suggestion.
"Didn't we already kill another Top-Tier Presider?" His wife, Grace, chuckled.
"Well, that was different. We used another Presider to perform the assassination as Arthur predicted. This time we are going to war against one!"
"Well... The plan does make sense. We are in a situation where two forces stronger than us in terms of military power are fighting the Top-Tier. We can use the nearby fleets as a distraction. This is the best time." Sammy assessed.
"But I don't think we've seen the best of what these Presiders have. May I suggest we fight them so that they reveal more of their arsenals? It's hard to press the Presiders to be in such a situation." Austin made his suggestion as the Wind Whisperer linked them.
"Hey, Austin! You are representing the boss! Be more confident!" Alvin complained.
"Sammy. What did he mean by them revealing more of their arsenal?" Richie asked.
"Despite what we see on how many techs they have been using in the battles above, all Presiders have not yet revealed any more of their respective technologies. Alvin is suggesting that we force the battle in a situation where they will reveal the techs we saw in Seeker's schematics. The Gargantuants, the Titans, the Destroyer Suits, and all those other things."
"Why haven't they brought it out anyway?" Richie asked as he observed the battle through his sounds.
"It's rather chaotic out there. Shouldn't this be the time to release those forces?"
"One reason is that they probably don't have those specific suits. We've noticed that the Aragarians aren't as unified as we thought them to be. It means that the ship they used for interstellar travel might be something outside of their current capabilities."
"That Orbital in Seeker's drafts belong to a Principal level tech!" Madison, one of the mercenaries that Seeker forcibly recruited, realized what the group was saying.
"Yes. Based on Seeker's memories, they have been studying the schematics of the Orbital and gave their theoretical sciences for the Earth to imitate. That's why several Orbitals were being created on Earth in Seeker's past. The goal wasn't to get some of their Earth allies off the planet, but to force those nations to build one for their own research."
"So even then, we were still just mere experiments." Chris frowned.
"General Arthur. What is the plan? The Everhiss family is standing nearby with half of their Many Mansions." Chase Brander, the former WGP Commander who has just been married to Empress Everhiss, asked.
"A Many Mansion is here? Interesting. Could they do an Invoking? It will greatly help us with our plans. Killing a Presider isn't something easy after all. Even Omricon won't break through the armors of their Thrones." Hermes added.
"Right. We will need all the help we can get. Since I've confirmed our forces, I estimate that we will fail. If we stay the way, we are. Our plan isn't a simple assassination attack to strike that Top-Tier. Let's not underestimate her. Unlike Crostfree, this one came here for war. Our route will be to infiltrate that flying saucer and hijack their weapons and techs. We have to steal as much as we can and sabotage the ship or use it against her. Where is Empress Everhiss and the other Emperors?"
"Standing by. They arrived in the Mediterranean the day Seeker raided that base of Lourca Ovilli. They are waiting for your plans."
"Have her family do an Invoking now. That should provide enough distraction. Egypt is kicking up a storm. We attack the moment Andronze reveals her Nile Technology that she's been researching for a long time."
Observing the war from afar was a strange round ship unseen by the many ships from different nations nearby.
Empress Miranne Everhiss watched as the wars raged on the sky.
"Are you... not shocked?" An Emperor asked Miranne.
"I would be, but I got punched in the face and tossed around like a ball by a young video game streamer with a team of random kids and drug dealers. I had so many techs compared to him, and yet, I have been toyed with as if he wielded my very fate." Miranne laughed.
"My husband is over there fighting. He wishes to gain that same power as that kid, Seeker Carlean. And now, what we should fear is not that huge flying saucer my husband is trying to destroy. But those people on those Thrones. They are the real emperors and empresses of this world, for they invoke fear to those who are as strong as the kid who tossed me like a ball."
"Emperor, Empress. Chase Brander-"
"Emperor Chase Brander." Miranne corrected.
"I-I am sorry. Emperor Chase Brander has sent the details of the plan."
"We do an Invoking. That's their request, correct?" Miranne answered.
"Yes, Empress." The soldier answered.
"You heard them. It would be foolish not to take part in this war. Let us begin. We don't need their approval now. Let's shock those other Emperors and reveal our Invoking." Miranne smiled.
The large spherical ship emerged out of the waters. It alarmed those nearby until the cloak disappeared, and they realized that it was the WGP.
"A Many Mansion! The Emperors are here!" One General identified the group.
The waters began to gather, and the ships nearby navigated their ships to avoid getting swept off course from the power of the water.
A large giant creature with an octopus-like head emerged. It slowly rose to great heights and was as tall as skyscrapers. The Manny Mansion was positioned right in the center of the rising column of water.
"Nations of the World, the WGP will help you in this battle. Do not be afraid and attack that saucer! This trap to eliminate one of the dark rulers of this world has begun! You've seen the terrors that have occurred these past months. More will come if you don't do anything! World leaders, politicians, and those that control the world's economy. Do not think that you won't get swept out and survive this war. Your money will all become pointless as new resources will emerge because of these enemies! They have hidden well on this Earth. And now, they are planning to overthrow the WGP. Choose for yourself who to ally. But the Moon and Egypt will be on our side." A voice echoed throughout the area.
There was no specific location from where this voice could be heard. It was as if the sea below was talking to everyone.
Everhiss watched and ended her declaration as she prepared to fight. Ten Rules with Emperors and Empresses riding them set off for battle.
Over the skies of Egypt, Andronze noticed the form of the Invoking.
"Impossible! How can they do that?! Their Invoking is becoming similar to my Water Wielding! A Presider is definitely studying the techs of the WGP! How else will the WGP reach that far!" Andronze complained as the towering monstrous beast began to shoot strange blue-green-like energy to the saucer.
"Damn it! Now the rest of the Presiders will think that I have been leaking techs to the WGP!" She cursed.
She then thought for a bit...
"Argh! I have to use Nile technology to stand a chance fighting Shakstress! Damn it!" Andronze cursed as she couldn't find a way of how to challenge Shakstress and activated the Nile Technology.
The waters all over the Nile River suddenly began to quiver.
The Overcomers Richie and Hermes were the first to sense it.
"Arthur. It's starting. Amazing. It's all over Egypt! We can finally see what this Nile technology is all about!" Richie watched in excitement.
