Moments right after Arthur and his team managed to force Shakstress, Pridgeon, and Andronze's ship into making an appearance...

"We will attack that! My sons and daughters are there!" The angry Emperor wasn't asking for a request but forcing the WGP to approve his movements.

"Emperor Phoenix, defending the World Governing Trading Hub takes precedence! I will remind you that you have already broken several protocols and are being questioned by several Emperors about your previous actions! You have several pending Audiences that you have yet to fulfill! You must have seen the footage of the large ship that appeared in the European Nations. A battle is happening, and we can't even see it!"

"And that is why I was right not to go back home! If I did, I wouldn't have discovered an underwater fortress of such advanced techs that if it weren't for my spies and the quick movements of several Emperors, we wouldn't have found them! I have revealed many hidden secrets in this world involving the mystery of Pioneers, Planteds, and these so-called Presiders! And now, the moon has returned, and a large flying saucer has appeared! If we keep acting on the defensive, then we would lose in this war that hasn't even truly begun! I don't care what you think! I am approving the Invoking of the Emperors there and will be launching weapons of mass destruction!" Phoenix shouted and abruptly ended the call.

"That should do it." Phoenix then turned to Seeker, Lynd, and Meryl. Nogard was also standing at the back. His figure had changed. He was not as old as he appeared, but the white hair of his head and a majestic beard that had grown in the few short weeks he was staying appeared.

"Still, the WGP has turned to cowards. They are afraid of offending these unknown enemies. It seems that in the passing of time, we became weak."

"That's the problem with success. It will either be your descent to madness due to pride or boredom if not constantly met with challenges. In the primitive days, people were too focused on surviving and had no time to be depressed. But in an era where everything is provided, we have more issues with depression. How much more for those in power. The result is to abuse it or to become complacent in wielding it. At least, now you know why you guys have to ally with us." Seeker laughed.

"That's an interesting food for thought, Seeker."

"Not my words. It's something that the Carlean family reminded each other. See you around, Phoenix. Let's go, gang! Cliff. You prepare our arrival in the South Americas. With that Presider revealing her ship, I would be an idiot to pass up this opportunity!"

"I wonder if I can copy Presider level technology? This is Top-Tier for sure."

"Well. We better hurry. If that ship appears, the Tyrant Empress will sure take action." Seeker laughed.

And so, the World Governing Trading Hub launched a weapon of mass destruction.

The WGP had not launched a weapon that they categorically defined as a weapon of mass destruction based on their level of power. Most of their weapons would already be considered as weapons of mass destruction by various nations.

But now, the WGP had launched this weapon. There were very, very few reasons in which they could launch it. The appearance of a strange ship was the first. The WGP argued with Phoenix but ultimately approved since the Everhiss clan acted independently and could be used as a scapegoat if needed.

A large rocket was launched from the World Governing Trading Hub. And while it was a weapon of mass destruction, the chambers of the large rocket carried four people.

With the advanced rocket system and no countries daring to stop the rocket, the weapons of mass destruction were quickly approaching Egypt. And as they neared, Seeker soon saw the ping that Arthur sent.

"We're still too far. This is a Top-Tier Presider, so I'm sure that this Shakstress that Arthur mentioned would have the ability to see through the dimensions where your soul lingers, Nogard. Can you make a projection?"

"Of course. Realm, Void Traveling, and my Path can easily do that. I can even project an area around me provided that those nearby have the basic skills for soul cultivation."

"That's even better! We can pretend to be Lanterk then."

"This is like... getting too old." Meryl frowned.

"Every time we face a Presider, we throw Lanterk under the bus and make him the enemy. Zeraphine, Pridgeon, I'm sure that Lowengren would make Andronze also thinks this. And now, this Shakstres."

"Yeah. I'm going to start making memes about this for our Unlocked social network." Lynd laughed.

"The Unlock has a Social Network?"

"Yes. It's running in Lennox's mind. Part of his training."

"That's even weirder." Nogard was amazed.

"Ugh. I logged off from that. Too many admirers! We're already trying to save the world, and I still get girls and guys simping over me. And thanks to your little gay-play in front of Zeraphine, I got a lot of DM's from guys!"

"Ah yes. The Lynd-Arthur-Seeker Yaoi novel. I love it."

"There's such a novel?" Nogard was disgusted.

"Nogard. Focus." Seeker turned red in embarrassment."

"Right. Let me see if I can find her soul... Oh! It's a strong one. So easy to find. I think I can begin transmission now."

And at that time, the soul transmission happened.

Shasktress was so startled that she stopped moving and fell into a deep trance.

The experience made her consider the possibility that a Principal was after her!

"Destroy that weapon of mass destruction!" Shakstress ordered. She dared not underestimate a weapon of mass destruction that was coming from the WGP.

"Continue the broadcast and search the intruders. Send Supreme Exoskeletons to hunt for them."

Shakstress then frowned and began to give several orders on how to resolve the multiple problems plaguing her.

As that happened, Arthur finally heard the orders to search for his uniform and the specific area.

"Yes. Hey. Seeker. How far are you? Can you help us?" Arthur spoke on the comm device.

"Hey, Arthy! Sadly no. We aren't near yet. We did manage to distract Shakstress for a bit."

"Oh? And here I calculated that you would be in time."

"Actually, something came up. Another Presider wanted to join the battle there, but luckily Master stopped that Presider. Because of that, the Everhiss family had some trouble gaining approval from the WGP to launch this rocket. So even with all the shocking battle you orchestrated, because another Presider moved, the WGP became all paranoid and wanted to focus on defending. I did ask Nogard to confuse her, though. Hopefully, it'll buy you enough time."

"She is practically better than me. We would die in the next minute."

"Great! Then you'll live!" Seeker laughed.

As Shakstress continued to relay information, she felt it.

"What is that?!" She quickly activated her monitors to scan the entire ship. 

The Pioneers were confused. Nothing in their techs detected any fluctuations, but Shakstress kept changing one screen to another.

"Too late! It's already here!"

The Pioneers didn't see the chaos of the battle, and the threat of the incoming weapons of mass destruction was a large piece of metal driven solely by magnetic technology.

Andronze detected it as it flew through and zoomed past Egypt's cities. But upon checking, she ignored it. For what could a simple Dawn Soldier do in this battle? Australia's interference could not change the tide of the battle. What could Dawn Soldiers do in this type of battle?

But what was approaching wasn't a Dawn Soldier. Instead, it was outfitted with the hardest metal that the Unlocked created. Meng's metal research in creating a powerful metal that could withstand the highest form of heat, radiation, and desolation became the foundation for this. The access to the supreme metal grades that the WGP used to create Rules was also added to create metal of great power and weight.

Octarion Ceasar shot through the sky and was quickly approaching the ship of Shakstress.

Hermes saw it and frowned.

"Is that you, Octarion Ceasar?" 

"Aid me. Destroying this ship will help both our sides enjoy our coming war."

"Alright."

Up in the rocket, Seeker and Lynd sat down on the device the Nogard was seated on.

"Let's give him a little pull on the time of his attack. Are you ready, Lynd?"

"I still don't understand how your Master does it. It takes two of us to do the strength of his pull."

"His pull and pushes don't need to accelerate for everything within that path that may cause friction is gone. Don't limit his powers to physics." Seeker laughed as the pair sat on the Realm Enhancer.

The reach of their realm increased.

Octarion was rushing up with great speed, and suddenly, the wind cleared on his path, and a hurricane appeared on his back that began to propel his movements. Hermes navigated the flight of Octarion so that he would reach the ship without going through the spatial distortions that were shrunk or expanded.

As he drew closer, the telekinetic pull of Lynd and Seeker began as they pulled Octarion's body.

The speed of Octarion sped up to two times the speed of sound.

"Hm? It must be those two..." Octarion smiled as he was propelled faster towards the ship.

Shakstress had redirected all energy to the ship. But she couldn't sense from what direction the attack would take place.

Octarion punched out, and his fist met the barrier that protected the entire ship.

BOOM!

The punch did not contain any other techs. No lightning, desolation, teleportation, or other Paths in that punch. It did not have Typical's needle-like force, Richie's vibration and was not coated to create a wind shield-like what Hermes would do.

All it had was a simple punch.

But this punch contained the power of ten individuals. The power of Ceasar was a Path of Devouring. Each member of the Ceasar would fight and train, and through a secret science that the Lost Primordial left, the twelve individuals would fight, kill, and devour each other's strength. Their acquired strength was not simple addition. There was a compounding force that kept increasing the power when they devoured another.

When the last two Ceasar's remained, it was considered an impossible battle. Octarion and Decadon could not gain any advantage against each other.

Those in the Underworld that knew of the secrets of the Caesars were relieved. For they knew that if one Might would surface, then the Underworld would have a new ruler.

And when the world began to change due to Seeker's interference, the fear, the rumors added terror and caution until finally, the unchanging balance between the two Might came to a deadly crash. And Octarion won. Unlike in the previous timeline, this Earth had the only one Might remaining.

The launch of his fist, its acceleration, and the weight of the punch had enough force that could equal a large meteor falling on it.

The most potent Compounding Force science finally made its public debut to the world.

BOOM!

Octarion's fist tore through the shield and made a hole in the creating a powerful vacuum because of the sudden change in pressure.

Octarion continued and smashed through the wall of Shakstress's ship. He didn't even aim for the large hole but desire to tear a new one in the ship.

SMASH!

Shakstress felt the change and cursed.

BOOM!

But right before she could react, a small sun erupted on the other side. 

The attacks that were supposed to destroy the incoming weapon of mass destruction was blocked by a powerful sun. It had so much light that the nearby countries saw a change in the sky. The late afternoon brightened by a bit as a small bright sun emerged.

"Argh! This battle is becoming more costly b the minute!" Shakstress cursed.

"Activate True Shrink Defensive Protocol! Shrink all incoming attacks and destroy all flying enemies! I want these skies clear in the next minute!" Shakstress shouted.
