Chapter 649: The First War of an Unlocked Army
The energy that guarded the tip of the spear contained most of the concentrated energy, and it met against the cone blast of nuclear weapons and endured.
But it was all meant to be a distraction.
The mountain broke apart, and the army jumped out of the hill.
Massive explosions of great power bombarded the shields on all sides, and the ghastly energy became unstable.
This spear had the strength and defenses that made it even harder to breach than the giant fortress of Shackstress when it appeared over Egypt.
Renkerdis was startled at the sudden changes of the attack and cursed how he fell for the trap.
"You think I will fall like this?! Hahaha! I am a Top Tier! Don't underestimate your elder, you neophyte Presiders!"
The green light gathered around the Throne of Renkerdis and coiled out to attack the Unlock.
Spirits appeared as the ghostly army that Renkerdis hid in his Throne also appeared.
The armies of Renkerdis also arranged their formation to fight. The giant spear comprised great ships, Gargantuants, and Armor and Exoskeleton class forces that numbered over thirty thousand.
"If you want to fight me, at the very least, match my army!" Renkerdis laughed as the shields dispersed and the great army charged at the scattered pieces of the mountain.
"Tech Reveal!" Cronus laughed as he hurled several strange balls towards Renkerdis.
The ambushing Captains of the Unlock all over the battlefield did the same thing.
Ever since the defeat of Shackstress and the acquisition of the massive fortress, the techs around the ship were retrieved, and some of the important technologies were reverse-engineered.
The small balls that were thrown out were designed to contain massive objects and shrink them so that they would allow them to carry them in their pockets.
Naturally, Lennox invented them and called them Pokeballs, or Pocket Balls.
The Pocket Balls exploded to reveal the objects they contained.
Large asteroids that were the size of hills suddenly appeared and shot out with quick speed.
The Pocket Balls would deploy and hurl the objects it had and throw the asteroids at the army.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ghastly and ethereal energies were the only ones that could move through the meteor shower.
But the ghost armies that emerged did not come as a shock and surprise to them.
Within the mountain, a member of the Tyrant Empresses team appeared.
The newly crowned Near-Overcomerm, Akahs Zulu, wielded his power.
"Necromancy versus Shaman magic... One alters the Fourth Dimension to forcibly pull back the form of one's soul. My magic connects to the Fourth Dimension and communes with the spirits to make them return. One pulls, the other lures. Let's see which is stronger!"
Akahs did not wear any thick or great armor. For his ability to communicate with the souls would be hindered. He shot forward and used the power of the spirits.
Native American Indians and the African shamans called on this power in the distant past. Still, now, it was a science that allowed them to explain great mysteries of the past.
The Great Medium of Africa moved and harnessed his powers as the approaching ghosts somehow paused in confusion.
The rest of the Unlocked charged at the ghost with their weapons at the ready.
No earthly weapon could harm these creatures before. Still, taking inspiration from the Bible, Earth found an element that could harm and damage these spirits. Fire and Brimstone.
Burning Sulfur coated whatever weapons the Unlocks had, and these weapons struck the spirits and caused the souls to shriek in pain.
The armies of the Unlocked attacked the ethereal troops. The side of the battle where Akahs Zulu led the Unlocked team penetrated through the armies and was now battling the scattering forces of Renkerdis, who were thrown in disarray from the sudden asteroids.
Many of the hill-sized asteroids were blasted through smithereens. Still, a great number slew hundreds and hundreds of Renkerdis's army and even managed to damage the large ships.
Renkerdis roared angrily as he flew towards Akahs and brought out a massive, gigantic specter.
"Behold! The spirit that my ancestor contained! A Nephilim!"
The gigantic spirit that the ancestors of Renkerdis had commanded since their arrival in Babel appeared. It was over thirty meters in height and length. It carried a spear and a large shield and shouted with great force that many close by felt a great dread.
But before, a strange green light suddenly shot out to the side. A force of great sound smashed on the gigantic Nephilim soul, and strange lightning shot out.
A bright light made of Zetayne Energy blasted a hole at the center of the soul, and the large spirit was in pain.
An Exoskeleton with a sword harnessing a great wind charged and slashed out, creating a powerful cut that slashed upwards through the spirit. Though no brimstone or fire was used, the amount that harnessed the wind managed to sever the arms of the spirit.
The attack was precisely timed, and evading it was impossible.
Renkerdis saw the attacks and commanded the Nephilim to smash the exoskeleton that sliced an attack.
WARP!
"Cerulean Stars has entered the battlefield!" Misty Wedders laughed, and along with her were two members of Git Godlike and two members of the Twelve Disciples.
"You're fighting us, Necromancer!" Shanna shouted as they leaped towards the Throne.
The Twelve Disciples and Git Godlike, who wielded Paths of great power and were classified as Unranked Heroes, began the terrifying challenge of fighting a Top Tier.
Akahs Zulu also charged in with a strange astral form coating his body.
With the Presider busy in combat, the rest of the army fought against Renkerdis's army.
The destruction of the mountain revealed more of the army, and even a Gargantuan was hidden inside the mountain. It was shedding the layers of rocks and soil as it began to attack.
"We will... Overcome!" An Unlocked Captain shouted.
Men and women of different ages appeared and fought. There were teenagers and senior citizens in the army. The power of the Unlocking and the many preparations of Seeker and Charles were now about to be tested.
Arthur watched from the Sky Satellite and observed every detail of the battle.
He had easily mapped through the battle with his powers and the sound waves that the Seven Notes created. They didn't just 'see' the war; they felt it.
"Is this good?" Magantae asked Sammy.
"The traps were all perfectly executed. But even then, the number of forces that I calculated Renkerdis would lose is less than half!"
"That bad? So our preparations are not enough..." Owens sighed.
"The trap did it's purpose. It gave our team the chance to attack and positioned them." Arthur corrected.
"So it worked?" Sammy asked.
"Yes. Don't underestimate our success. Ever since the start, we only brought out the strongest of the Unlocked. Those who were experimented and injected with our drugs to stimulate the seeds left by the Progenitor, which formed the Unlocking, were the strongest people in Seeker's memories and have all experienced many battles alongside our team. But now, we bring out everything. The Australian Unlocked Army is the first to clash with a Top-Tier. By my calculations, this battle is tilting to our favor. The only issue is Renkerdis. The team must show their strength and keep him busy for us to see how better off this army is compared to the ones in Seeker's memories..."
