Chapter 657: Wrath of the Dragon
The Throne of Archivus was showing signs of breaking as it retreated.
But the devouring power of the dragon ate all kinetic energy and was turning everything into nothing.
The Desolation throughout all dimensions was making it difficult for Archivus to retreat. Even the Universe Energy he deployed as a booster could only propel him with so much distance as the Desolation kept eating everything up.
"Shoot it!" Archivus roared as his army began to launch a volley towards it.
But the Dappled Horse kept moving. The dragon did not evade or retreat but took in the blast of energy.
The attacks were all dispersing even before they struck.
Meng continued to command his throne, and the green dragon kept crunching on the Throne of Archives.
The army of Archivus began to attack the Dappled Horse; the energy attacks could hardly penetrate through the mist of Desolation surrounding the Throne.
Archivus began to launch all the attacks that he could.
His Universe Energy shot out and condensed into the hardest carbon-based mineral he could manage. It was carbon that existed and had formed in multiple dimensions!
But all of it was made useless against the Desolation of Meng.
"Unless you can uphold the dimensions, your efforts are futile!" Meng laughed as the dragon bit down.
CRACK! CRACK!
The Throne began to crack!
"No!" Archivus roared in panic as his Nefilus Suit combined and even hardened.
He grasps one of his items. It was a tool that he acquired by assassinating another Presider.
The item was a powerful weapon that Presiders could claim as a prize.
He crushed it, and the dimensions around him began to change.
"Hmm? Interesting." Meng felt it. He had fought against Rai many times and knew what teleportation was.
WARP!
The entire Throne vanished, and even the army descending toward Earth was being pulled back.
But Meng was amazed.
"This is... Dimensional Upholding. They didn't change places. Space was flipped like a table and trade places..." Meng was amazed.
Most teleportation techniques are used to travel across other dimensions. The Void realm of Rei was such an example. As for the teleportation techs that theorized about how the Aragarians traveled, all involved the folding of space. But this one didn't fold space. It flipped it out!
At once, there was a vast emptiness where Archivus's armies were.
Archivus and his army appeared on the other side of Earth's Atmosphere.
Like a massive wheel, the space where Archivus and his army stood spun, and they appeared on the exact opposite side.
From their initial position that hovered over the lands of One China, the army of Archivus found themselves in the atmosphere above the Rotting Lands.
Archivus was gasping for air as even the oxygen of his Throne was devoured by the Dragon.
He nearly died.
"That... was insane! How can these Anti-Presiders have such power?!" Archivus shouted.
"He's over at the Rotting Lands, Meng." A voice chuckled, and even Archivus could hear it.
He trembled as the voice spoke.
"Everyone! Descend underwater! Get back to the Orbital! We cannot fight now!" Archivus commanded, and his army began to enter the atmosphere but was retreating towards the Pacific Ocean.
The Dappled Horse remained above One China, and Meng glanced down to his country.
He knew this would happen, but even though he had been forewarned, his anger and hatred toward the countrymen who sought to betray them made him rage.
"He who is not with us is against us..." He recalled Scripture as he gazed down the lands.
"My appearance has changed the world. But for now... I shall devour the ones that betrayed us!"
The dragon, unable to chase after Archivus, turned its rage down towards Earth.
One China had its chance to ally with and support the Unlocked after how the Unlocked had protected and empowered them. But now, it was time to reap.
The Dappled Horse descended down.
"Cry... Weep... Gnash your teeth. For now, you shall all die!" Meng spoke in anger, and the Horse charged down.
The power of his voice shook the Earth as the cry was amplified by the sound around the skies.
The entire world heard the enraged declaration of the Dragon.
Various Sky Satellites scattered throughout the sky recorded the devastation and broadcasted it to the rest of the world.
And now, the ravage of the Dragon was shown to them.
The Desolation of the Dragon roared in anger as it went straight for the military bases.
The helpless traitors shot back. Some were pleading that they were innocent, and others begged for forgiveness.
The fortress had many civilians living in it. But the Unlocked had already gauged their heart. For the Unlocked, even those who are Unbecoming and Inhuman could easily identify the lies and truth with their eyes.
Especially since the cells of Lowengren and Harker were spread and injected into all of them, it was easy for them to discern which was which.
Arthur had already declared harshly that his prophecies indicated that everyone who would not side with them immediately would later betray them and even recommend a sure massacre.
In the end, Unlocked settled on giving everyone a chance, which meant giving them a chance to betray them.
Now, that opportunity appeared in Australia and would manifest itself in China.
All that was for the Unlocked had already been determined, and those not counted as a pro were treated as against.
Rockets and lasers of all sorts shot from the ground and took aim at the Dappled Horse. Metal weapons that took advantage of magnetism were also being used.
But if the hardened weaponry of a Mid-Tier could not even penetrate and reach the Throne, how could the weaponry of the Chinese work?
Magnetism failed as the Desolation grew more and more intense.
As the Throne arrived, buildings began to crumble, and the many traitorous people were slaughtered in Desolation.
"He who is not with us is against us. We gave the Earth time to side with us, but many still chose to betray us. If you cannot take up your arms to join the battle against the devil, you will surely become our enemy. Thus, it is better to purge the wicked of the land!" The voice of Eagle could be heard.
"The Rider of the Dappled Horse has awakened. Three more will awaken!"
As the warning of the Eagle spread over the Earth, another Horse appeared.
The underground region of Egypt remained a secret from the world. Even after the death of Presider Andronze, the Unlocked took control of the entire place and made it a place to seal and hide the power of the Tyrant Empress, whose powers would even inflict everyone's dreams.
But now, the Rider and the Red Horse had appeared.
