Chapter 654: And the Stars Fell
It was all connected.
The plot of Artrhur to find Alean could only be possible when a large stone would crash into Earth.
Such a colossal structure, capable of piercing the depths of the ocean and striking the ocean floor with such force, would unleash a cataclysmic vibration, which would be the ideal vibration for the Realm King in his search for Alean all around Earth.
Arthur knew that Alean could find a hidden place down deep with her Zone and ability to use teleportation, and he must find her quickly.
Zone, which many called 'being led by the Holy Spirit,' would face the one who threads the Lion's Den.
But with Seeker's request to bring down the Orbital, the plans changed once more as they now desired to bring that object.
The Unlocked could also make a controlled pull, as everyone knew the needed strength to prevent Earth from being damaged at such extremes and still create enough vibration to find that place.
Arthur estimated that the chances of finding Alean's hiding place are now well over a hundred percent!
Bringing down the Orbital had many other benefits.
The necessity of the massive Orbital to fall on Earth meant a change in warfare. Stellar warfare was disadvantageous to the Unlocked, for it was still far from perfect. So, Stellar Warfare was the least of the options. The Orbital was big enough to invade many areas since Seeker and his team already knew of it.
The Presiders would have a place to 'retreat' to if they lost here. Attacking the Orbital in space meant that all of its systems were functional. But pulling it down to the ocean would limit its functionality by a huge percentage.
Of course, the main issue was HOW they could bring it down, mainly since a Principal lived in it.
But through some strange circumstance that even Arthur did not predict, the Principal was thrown out with great force, giving them the perfect opportunity to complete the mission without any hindrance.
Hermes flew up, and his four winds were there with him.
The clash was imminent. Pangea, with its stellar forces, was about to engage in a fierce battle with the Presiders, each side launching a coordinated attack.
Lent led the way in attacking the forces to attack a base in the northern regions of the South Pacific.
But unknown to him, his path was barred by six cloaked individuals.
The first to appear was Hermes. And then, his four winds appeared.
Alvin, Austin, Omricon, and Omega flew by.
With them was the invisible wind, the Thief in the Night, who used the cloak over them.
"Gathering the wind of Earth and pushing it through the Atmosphere with Realm and Origin Energy... Sounds like a crazy sound. All to make sound capable of reaching it and making it vulnerable to Realm Control... I guess with the Principal out, it's possible."
"Even Austin seems confident! It's such an assurance when a Principal gets mysteriously deleted from the Orbital!" Alvin laughed.
"Let's go. I shall lead the way and cut through the atmosphere to send the winds gushing out." Omricon wielded his sword.
As he concentrated his energy towards the blade, he felt an unexplainable power surging through it. The wind around him intensified, causing his hair and clothes to flutter wildly. Suddenly, the blade started to glow with an eerie, nuclear-like energy, illuminating the surrounding area with a bright, otherworldly light.
Hermes smiled as he saw the sword of Omricon.
"Good! Omricon! Become an Overcomer! Overcome the limits that the Unlock has set! For we are the reformed. And we will continue to reform and break away in power!
The wind sword felt light as a feather in his hand, yet it was more deadly than any weapon he had ever wielded. It was as if he had harnessed the fury of a raging storm into his weapon, ready to unleash it upon his enemies.
"Nuclear... Slash!"
SLASH!
The excellent cut was marvelous, slashed through the space, and severed the dimensions.
The cut went on, and many in the slash line were severed down.
Dozens within the army of the Presider Lent were sliced in two.
But beyond that was a loud warning that notified Lent, and he quickly evaded the attack.
Even as he did, the warnings of his Throne remained.
The cut was precise, and the sword of Omricon contained the paths of Gardo's compression and the light of Meryl. Many other sciences were applied to that sword that allowed him to swing a powerful weapon at the cost of great energy.
Omricon harnessed the power of wind. And his wind was capable of slicing through everything, even objects that exist outside of the three dimensions. As the cut slashed out, it was so precise that even an atom was cut into two smaller nuclei.
A sword had caused nuclear fission.
And it did not end there. It hacked through the space and cut many Aragarians and a chain reaction of nuclear fission followed. Atoms that were split collided with other atoms and caused the to split well, leading to a rapid release of energy and then...
BOOOOM!
A slashing nuclear explosion rocked the space and slew many of the Aragarian threat charging down on to Earth.
Thousands had died in the explosive slash that went onwards.
Omricon's cut created a path for the wind to flow.
With that, a breach in the atmosphere occurred, and Austin was charged forward.
The Blowing wind blew with great might and pushed through space.
A large spiraling tunnel of wind stabbed out like a spear.
The sound echoed and whistled through the wind as the Seven Notes were actively humming and creating a solidified spear.
"Go!" Hermes commanded, and his team flew out, disappearing from sight,
The wind pierced like a spear from Earth's atmosphere.
The blowing winds were so strong that not even Lent's Throne could resist it and was blown back.
STAB!
With an explosive bang, the wind spear stabbed through the first layers of the unguarded Orbital, and it was as if Earth was pumping air into the small planet floating next to it.
Torrential winds shot inside, and the constant humming sound echoed all over the place.
"Perfect..." Lioncourt sneered.
Wind and vibration allowed him to easily sense the Orbital, and he could see everything in it, save for the large obsidian stone inside the Orbital.
"Seeker should be inside that thing... I have to hurry. Who knows when that Principal will return?" Lioncourt closed his eyes.
He was standing in what was the greatest reserve of energy that all the Unlock armies had.
Around him were various reactors and devices. Some were taken from the former WGP Emperors, and some from the resources of the Presiders they fought.
Mysterious and marvelous items and relics were there. Objects of elements that breach the dimensions were there.
It all began to pour out energy on Lioncourt, who performed a great miracle.
Many of the Top Tiers battling on Earth saw it.
A mighty hand from the dimensions beyond appeared and held onto the Orbital.
"Impossible...!" Renkerdis could not help but stare in amazement at what he saw.
"So they are this strong..." Marrho praised even as his own battle against Pridgeon began.
The sight was becoming increasingly awe-inspiring and terrifying. A colossal, otherworldly hand firmly grasped the Orbital, a sight that sent shivers down the spines of all who beheld it.
"Oh, Australia... If you only listened. This is what your leader could do." Eagle's voice echoed throughout the one-half of the Earth who could see the hand seize the Orbital.
"The hand of God...." An Australian watched, fell to his knees, and began to weep at the sight of power.
"Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord! This is the word of the Lord as seen in Isaiah to you! My righteousness draws near, my salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples; the coastlands hope for me, and for my arm they wait. Lift up your eyes to the heavens and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and they who dwell in it will die in like manner; but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will never be dismayed."
The power of Gravity began to increase as the Orbital started to tremble.
The army of Lent, which was between the powers of the Unlocked, was all caught in the terrifying attack, and Lent's throne was being pulled down to Earth with great force.
The massive hand was held fast on the Orbital.
Lioncourt stood as the energy swirled around him. His form was changed, and his figure began to look dazzling, like white.
The massive hands turned dark and became like bronze as it tightly closed its palm.
"Star Seizer!" Lioncourt roared as the hand began to pull down.
