Chapter 644: A Battle Against a Non-Conqueror
Weapons of Mass Destructio could do terrifying damage. But the modified and Unlocked-empowered ones, which used the powers of Overcomers, could do more than three times the damage output.
But in the warfare against Presiders, the issue is that Presiders almost always have a means of deflecting, blocking, and stopping the attacks.
What would a nuclear bomb destroy if a massive shield managed to block it? The manifested and materialized form of Zethayne Light would easily block it.
The army was equipped with many technologies that could defend against heat and radiation and deploy these given the right time and preparation.
But Seeker knew all this from the information that he had gathered above. He had even shot weapons of mass destruction to the armies of the other Presiders during his time fighting with Vender. Through those battles, he had seen how they defended themselves and plotted a means to counter it.
But the lies made Unverrook defend in the wrong location.
An invisible weapon of mass destruction had emerged and was right before Unverrook.
"AHHH!"
A massive explosion occurred with devastating power that even reached Unverrook and struck the heart of the army.
"WHAT?!" Unverrook acted fast and immediately used the Zethayne light to shoot at the fire.
The large sword became a shield that blocked the explosion.
It shielded the attack of the nuke, and suddenly, the Throne flashed out even more.
WARP!
Nearly a thousand of those at the center were dead, but a gigantic fire shield was created as Unerrok used the flames of the bomb itself to create a shield to block the power and shockwave from pushing forward.
A massive wall of fire steel stood and protected those behind Unverrook. But to defend against this, Unverrook had to use his Universe Energy and turn the flames to his own steel.
The light of his Throne visibly dimmed as he pushed back and protected himself from the nuke.
"Ohhhh... That's gotta be frustrating. You're a Mid-tier. You don't have that much Universe Energy, don't you? But may I just say this... You're so weak. None of the Presiders we've fought was so stupid as to get hit with a weapon like that." Seeker laughed.
The fires ceased, and the red and yellow wall remained. Though Unverrook's reaction was quick, it still was a critical attack that disrupted the army and slew a sizable portion of his army.
"You...!" He shouted in anger.
"Foolish! I have ten more where that came from! Now!"
"What?!" Unverrook jolted and watched around him to see several rockets arching on the other side.
"Help!"
"Presider! Save me!"
The army was in disarray as they moved out.
At that time, the Gryphon Squadron made a killing as the ranks fell.
The teams that Ivan led had moved deep into the ranks and fought their way as they faced little resistance.
"Defend! He's lying! Those are just ordinary rockets!" Unverrook roared in anger. He then began to manually control the emotions and thoughts of his army, and the falling chaos suddenly became organized!
"Retreat!" Lim ordered.
WARP!
Will had to portal out, and the rest performed evasive maneuvers using unique technology and began to flee.
Still, they had managed to chip away and kill close to a hundred in that short time!
"Suarez! The army! They are being controlled!" Lim called out.
"I know!" Suarez could see the sudden organized movements, could tell it was hypnosis, and began searching for the signal.
As for Unverrook, he was exploding in anger.
"He must be that damned liar!" Unverrok cursed out. Reports of Lowengren had spread throughout the Orbital.
"The liar who, in his short time in the Orbital, caused many fights and infiltrated and uncovered two hidden Presiders while stealing away a large portion of their army... He hid a nuke and made us focus on him...! I'll have to be more careful!" Unverrok answered.
The massive shield of metallic fire from the flames of the Nuke itself now shielded his Throne and the rest of his army.
But as the gigantic shield guarded them, Seeker and his allies flew down below and started to shoot out numerous attacks.
Quickly, Unverrok wielded the giant flaming shield that was as wide as the exploding nuclear and, with great strength, moved it downwards.
The speed of the shield's movements was fast despite it being like carrying an entire island.
WARP!
A small portal opened, and Seeker appeared far above. The fiery shield was below, and
"Hahaha! Once again, you got tricked!" Seeker laughed as he hurled something towards Unverrok, and a small portal opened again. Seeker suddenly retreated back with unbelievable speed. And with this lie, the rest of the Squadron somehow knew what to do.
"Retreat!"
The sudden retreat forced many to fly opposite where Seeker appeared.
The rocket shot down, and while many shot at it, it was strangely slipping through the shields and passing through it!
"Holy Shield!" Unverrok spoke the reserved command for his Throne to unleash the strongest protection from the ambush of Seeker.
Universe Energy and Zethayne light created a powerful shield that appeared above him and his army.
At that moment, Seeker knew he had won.
His Zone was quickly able to direct the battle.
"Got it..." Suarez sighed in relief. It was easier than he thought it would be. But the impossible mission that was set on him was made possible.
Unverrok had tasted a front nuke attack that damaged his Throne. He was overly cautious and defended against Seeker as was planned.
At that moment, Suarez could finally hijack the chips controlling most of Unverrok's armies. A thought was planted in, and everyone followed.
More than eighty percent of Unverrok's remaining army took aim and shot at the unguarded and damaged Throne,
BOOOM! BOOM! BANG!
The weapons that Unverrok stole, crafted, and customized were used against him.
No Universe Energy guarded him.
Since the first impact of the bullets, bombs, and beams, Unverrok was only able to respond within the next half a second.
And that was very critical as his Throne had taken severe damage.
Zethayne's light manifested and became a shield as the entire army continued to carry out the barrage.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
All sides had soldiers shooting at him, and the Unlock took the chance to get in position.
Suarez continued giving out a grand order but felt he was running out of energy.
Seeker warped next to him and injected him his load of energy to empower Suarez.
"By the power of Lies and the power of the Day Dreamer... Dream Control!"
Seeker poured out his power and combined two powers that were passed on by Suarez.
Many in the army had a strange dream that the Presider they served had become the Unlocked.
The rest of the army also saw visions that they were now being surrounded by an army that was warped out.
"Unlocked Army! Wreck havoc and kill!" Seeker shouted as wind and sound shot out from himself and delivered the message to everyone.
The army panicked, and with their vision and voice, they waged war on each other.
Seeker then drew back along with his team as he used his power to hide them in a cloak of invisibility.
"This is... the Thief in the Night's power!" Alphie was amazed.
"Seeker! You've become even more amazing!"
"The techs I got from the two Presiders allowed me to gain interesting research. I've seen a perfectly working Nefilus Suit, and that guy gave me a lot of material to work on. Lynd and I are now in more control of the powers of others." Seeker explained as they moved back.
"But power isn't everything. Had Unverrok been a conqueror and not had fear but was more daring, then I would win, but one of you might die."
"You didn't give us a chance to show our power, General." Ivan laughed.
"Yes. We were just part of your lies." Fish complained.
"Oh, come on. This mission would have been impossible if you couldn't do a Life Review. Besides, we need this place. We will take care of the ones that survive. By my calculations, Unverrok will panic and will eventually escape. And that's when you hunt him down."
"Can't you just... kill him, General?"
"And take away the fun for you guys? No way. This is a weakened Mid-tier. A perfect training ground for you."
"General's right. Let's go and prepare for the ambush. Unverrok will continue to defend against his own forces. But since he is not a Conqueror, he will give in to his fear. And this means... Right. It should start now."
FLASH!
Zethayne Light flashed out and began to attack all close by.
In Unverrok's panic and fear, Universe Energy was used to fight and blast out a huge portion of the army that he had created.
"Stop attacking me!" He roared in anger as he kept on using his weapons to attack.
"You guys go and take care of this."
"What's your plan, General?"
"The crazy plan to bring down the Orbital. I have to go back up there... and crash that ship!" Seeker began to fly towards the Orbital.
