Chapter 643: Against Unverrook
The armies of Pioneers and Planteds descended and readied their weapons as they left the Orbital and flew at top speed to reach the Sky Satellite.
Unverrook sat down on his Throne and glanced at the lone floating fortress.
"Do not destroy it. The earthlings must have abandoned it. Let us take what we can. Kill all who resist." Unverrook ordered.
The entire sky satellite was coated in lies and illusions as Seeker released it. It was the trap that he had set.
The Presiders believed a lie that Earth would be focused on defending against the meteor showers and that some Presiders wanted to attack the moon and the Sky Satellites as they were also key ships with important technologies.
Lowengren had planted this power through inception. By making other Presiders act and speak of their horrifying plans to bombard the Earth and force the world to block these massive meteors, Earth would be forced to put its strongest on the defensive.
And as the Realm King had planned to make Australia first, the scene of war where the massive structures flew out only encouraged the hidden ones to move and aim for the unguarded fortresses.
This lie led Unverrook to make an attack and reveal his arm, believing that all was left in the Sky Satellites.
Presiders sought to kill him for his many scenes and tricks. And now, just when every other Presider was busy with their battles, he took the chance to invade.
His Throne shot forward and revealed the Universe's Energy. Zethayne light formed into a large sword that was flashing and guarding.
The army moved forward and faced a small platoon of soldiers wearing Exoskeletons.
Seeker led the group ahead.
"That's one large sword. Is he overcompensating for something?" Epic laughed.
"He won't use it. If he does use the sword, my pride as an Overcomer won't take it."
"General Lowengren... What's their technology?" Ivan asked.
"Hm? You guys need that? This is training!"
"With all due respect, sir, they have an army, and there are just a few of us."
"Yeah... Cut us some slack, General." Fish sighed.
"Please!!!" Alphie approached and gave Seeker a hug.
Seeker rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Fine. Unverrok's power is chemical change by its foundation. An alteration of an element in the fourth dimension. He is close to a Top Tier in tech..."
Everyone was surprised and confused as to why Seeker said it would be very easy.
"Fire like sword. Looks like it's a hardening of various elements. Does that mean he will shoot laser beams that will have the weight and pounding force of metal?"
"It will change. The elements of the bullets could even change to a great frost, a lightning bolt, lasers, and so on. But he's weak."
"But he has Top Tier Tech... Why did you say it was so easy, General?" Ivan clarified.
"He is a silver-spoon Presider granted a dimensional altering tech through his family. In short, he's not a Conqueror." Seeker laughed. His voice and charisma were like Lowengren's now.
"Meaning?" Fish asked.
"We can Overcome him. We shall engage him with our number and defeat him."
"What's the plan?" Lim asked.
"My lies will overcome his ability to bend the elements. I will invoke my realm and show a power that even Lowengren has shown, though he has already mastered this. As for you, Suarez. I will need you to Overcome. His armies consist of what our techs would call a Programmed Slave. They are serving Unverrok out of this great, insane joy. Turn it against him."
"What?! Turn it against him?! How?! Lowengren! My powers can suggest things one at a time! I can make an instant connection and weaken a person's perception of that moment! But what you are asking is... total mind control! And you're asking me to do it to this army!"
"That's what I'm asking you to do. You have to mind control the army at the second deception. Use this exercise to figure out how to mind control people without a Programmed Slave chip!" Seeker flew onwards, and it was then that Suarez realized that he was actually talking to.
"Huh? I believed I was talking to Lowngren?!" Suarez was amazed.
"That's Seeker for you..." Alphie smiled.
"Welp... I knew this would happen." Ivan sighed as he flew ahead.
"It's not possible...!" Suarez cursed.
"It is possible. The Programmed Slave used is not as inferior as ours, which makes people happy. This is so much more. The controller can only be Unverrok, and he transmits the emotions that make these people follow. Find out the frequency you can control them to be your slave."
"Same as before, Suarez. We just have to overcome! We limit ourselves by what we think we can do. But remember, the stronger Seeker gets, his exposure to us as the Truth creates a foundation for us to improve! What once was impossible isn't anymore. Just do it." Ivan laughed.
"Damn it! Fine! I need to get my hands on one of those Programmed Slave chips!"
"I can see which of those Pioneers have those chips. Just look for those that are smiling, right?" Epic laughed.
"Pair me with Suarez, and I can warp him to the closest Programmed Slave. And the rest is up to Suarez."
"I need a diversion," Suarez complained.
"Leave that to Seeker," Alphie answered.
"Suarez, this is extremely easy if the plan succeeds. But we could die if you fail. We don't have an army backing us! But we will overcome! Fish! Create a diversion opposite to where General Lowe... Seeker is headed. Lim and Will trail behind Fish's angel form. Suarez, Alphie, Epic, follow me! Support General Lowengren! Err... I mean... You know who I mean!" Ivan gave his orders.
Alphie laughed as the group made their preparations.
Fish transformed into an angel. She had four wings and two swords as her body released the power of Akasha and the nanomite metal technology fused with Chinese magnetic technology.
The heavenly angel shot forward as Lim and Will followed.
The trio took another path away from Seeker.
Ivan, Suarez, Alphie, and Epic charged between Seeker's charge and Fish's flight.
"To death! For earth!" Lowengren shouted as he beamed forward.
"Take aim at those three teams and obliterate them!" Unverrok ordered.
The barrage of lights of many colors filled space as it shot toward the Unlocked team.
However, the Gryphon squadron showed the results of their training. It began to utilize various techniques and abilities to evade the attack.
"Get ready." Lim warned.
"Light speed attacks..." The team all glanced at the Throne, shining with Zethayne light.
Everyone forced their unlocking; thus, the most significant scientific breakthrough Charles developed manifested through the elite team.
It was an ability that was only found to occur in those who faced death. But for Overcomers and those who were rising up as Heroes, it was now something everyone could do.
A Life Review, which Charles now called the Unlocked Overdrive, happened to every squadron member.
Everyone induced a Life Review, and with the many powers that the Unlocked had received.
The key was one Unlocked who barely participated in many grand missions. The mercenary Madison, the one who has the ability to pause and slow time in his thoughts, was the ingredient that was used.
His power, with the Realm King and Cliff's Day Dream, allowed the elites to perform the Overdrive and increase their perception of time and sensitivity to the elements.
The lights shot out, and the group had already evaded before these beams left Throne.
"Keep it up! This is a battle of Zone! Be in the Zone and keep evading the attacks!" Ivan ordered as the lights constantly shot out.
Unverrok was startled that the attacks that traveled at the speed of light were being evaded!
Seeker smiled as he watched his allies evade.
"To think only Ranked Heroes could do this, but now many Inhumans would be able to!" Seeker rejoiced as he pushed deep into the army and caused Unverrok to shoot out numerous attacks on him.
The group evaded even as an army's worth of attacks was headed their way.
"Hey, Underwear! You fell for my lies!" Seeker laughed, mimicking Lowengren's tone and pose.
What the enemies didn't know was that Seeker was carrying a Nuclear Bomb. It was a unique bomb that contained desolation, sound shockwaves, and the compressed power of Gardo. And this bomb was made with Seeker's own cells.
With the Path of the Thief in the Night, Seeker managed to hurl it into space with great strength and added a bit of sound and wind to make it fly.
The most critical piece was the lie of misdirection. By drawing attention to himself and the team, the silent bomb flew without notice right into the center of the army.
BOOM!
A nuclear bomb exploded at the center of the incoming army.
The blast shocked everyone as the central team that was prepared to fire at the group was suddenly pushed back as the shockwaves of the nuclear bomb contained sound, compressed heat that now expanded, and desolation.
Many of the exoskeletons that were further away quickly activated a life-saving system and created a force field that blocked the powerful blast.
But those close to the center were eradicated before they could deploy it.
