Chapter 438 - Cliff’s Power
The Emperor that surrendered immediately was secretly trying various techs to escape. The man that stood before him had such potent radiation that it was as if the Emperor detected a powerful missile aimed at him.
The other two Emperors began to prepare to fight and revealed a powerful Origin force gathering around their Rule.
"So you two will fight, huh? I remember when I fought Everhiss the first time. Boy, was I scared. But now, that Rule of yours looks very cute." Cliff laughed as he vanished and appeared right in front of the Empress on the right of the Emperor that surrendered.
"What?!"
"Sonic Punch!" Cliff shouted as the sound compressed into his arm.
BOOM!
The punch was like a meteor strike on the Rule. The power of Origin was defended against the punch. But the impact caused the Empress on the right was thrown back, and her entire Rule was sent flying back. Origin Energy became a shield that blocked the attack.
The powerful Sound Shield that covered Cliff became like a punch. His power of memory had changed to the next level. The sciences that they had acquired, added with the WGP and Shakstress's ship's technology, had allowed the Unlocked armies to reach a terrifying level of power.
Seeker and Lynd had already been at the Ranked Hero stage. But now, it was passed on. The sown seeds of the Lost Primordial were now bearing fruit one after the other. For Cliff, his memory could now merge with Realm, and this allowed him to force the harnessed power of the sound and made the molecules follow a certain memory. And thus, Richie's Sonic Punch was recreated through Cliff's memory.
The other Empress began to shoot at Cliff with powerful Origin beams with homing powers.
The beams moved out with great speed, but the attacks were slow with Cliff's level on the Unlocking. His perception could slow downtime as low as 1/20th of the original speed. With that basic perception, he only needed to activate his Daydream by a split second, and he was already able to evade the fast beams.
Cliff flew towards the enemy and activated another weaponry granted access to him. It contained the rechargeable lightning energy of Lennox. But with Cliff's powers, and created a lightning sword.
KZZZZTT! KZZZZT!
The blade made of lightning formed, and Cliff charged towards the other Empress shooting at him and slashing down.
SLASH!
The Origin force field protecting the Throne was breached, and the lightning sword struck ad damaged the outer metal of the Throne.
The damaged Throne began to alert and the Empress from the damages and was urging the Empress to activate more defensive protocols. Unfortunately, the integrity of her Throne had nearly been breached, and Cliff was already preparing for another attack.
The thin layer of Origin Energy was not enough for the Emperors to make a massive attack.
"Stop! Or we will use our Invoking!" The other Empress shouted.
SLASH!
Cliff paid no heed and slashed down once more.
The damage breached through the Throne, and it barely struck the Empress inside.
The Empress retreated, but a small hole could be seen in the Throne.
"Quite bluffing. You came here secretly to strike a deal behind the WGP. You found a Presider and planned to do secret trade deals with them. This is traitorous for you, Emperors. Your family will cut ties of any knowledge of your presence here least a Throne War would happen." Cliff shook his head.
The three Emperors couldn't say anything from Cliff's statements.
"Surrender." Cliff called to the two.
BOOM! BOOM!
The place began to shake.
"What was that?" The Emperors felt the tremors outside.
"We have spies inside the Presider Pridgeon. During the battle in Egypt, our forces controlled the group who commanded the wind." Cliff then held out a strange item. It looked like a small pouch made of cloth.
"This is Fujins Bag. As you can see, it has the same power that those five men revealed." Cliff explained as he opened it. A strong gust of wind appeared and circled around Cliff. It was so strong that it was as if there was a twister covering Cliff. And the strange thing was, the Emperors could detect that this wind could cut.
Suddenly, Cliff willed it, and the wind flew back inside the bag. Just with the other items, only Cliff among the Ranked Heroes could do this as he could tread on a trodden Path.
"The wind...!" The Emperor, who was the first to surrender, saw the wind and knew that Cliff didn't lie. This had the same form as the video footage that was taken in the battle above Egypt.
"The Presiders are warring among themselves. Ally with us. Tell your families to contact the Everhiss clan. If you want to know the mystery of Presiders, then we are your hope. Don't be idiots. The Presiders here know you can't do an Invoking and would have made you Programmed Slaves. Join us. Go. This place is about to turn chaotic. The two Presiders will be fighting soon." Cliff turned around and a portal opened in front of him.
"Go. I showed my power to prove a point. When you retreat, make it look like you managed to drive me away with your powers. That will make it look like the WGP has the ability to fight Anti-Presiders."
"Anti-Presiders?" An Empress repeated the term that Cliff said.
"Why do you want the WGP to look strong. What's your aim?" The Empress with the damaged Rule asked.
"My air right now? It's to stop you and your idiot family from betraying the good guys. I am retreating so that the Presiders planning to attack the WGP will hesitate, and the fall of the WGP will be delayed."
"The fall? What do you mean?"
"You'll see. But know that we will be the best allies you can get. We are one of the players you can bet on in this game. So be sure to bet wisely."
"Game? This is a game to you?! The world is in chaos!"
"Well, technically, it's a New Game+." Cliff smiled, and he disappeared into the portal.
BOOM! BOOM!
The tremors exploded, and the ceiling and the walls began to crack. The WGP Emperors had no choice but to retreat.
Outside, several Exoskeletons were attacking the building wielding strange techs.
Gusts of wind, sound explosions, and massive Exoskeletons that were similar to Australia's Dawn armor began to attack the building.
Two groups of powerful Exoskeletons fought against the unknown army that attacked, and war occurred right in the middle of the city.
Cliff appeared on the sewers below the city. The immense energy he revealed had vanished. Nearby were three soldiers who stood to greet Cliff. All three were members of the group formerly known as the Small Drug Dealers. They were now the Commanders of the Basilisk Squadron.
"General. How was it?" Zidane asked.
"Mission accomplished. Order the retreat of the Exoskeletons. The army will be coming here soon. Hank, your team is up. Aim for a zero death rate. It's gonna be hard for me to talk to Charm if any one of her family members dies.." Cliff passed by.
