Chapter 658: Rise of the Red Horse
Blood and fire made up this Horse.
It stood over thirty meters high, and the length of its body was greater than its height.
The power was based on the Path of Akasha, but the makings were the Empress's.
The vampiric power that commands blood and the increase of Akasha's power through the Ankh Core aided Akasha's evolution and how her blood could create beasts of great form.
The lifeblood of a vampire that could devour and grow was perfect for the Empress.
She knew that her path and power were to be a bloodied path.
For in another life, her deeds and murders caused more than half of the Earth to suffer. This war caused a significant split among Overcomers due to her wild and selfish nature.
But now, as a tamed temptress who was defeated and succumbed to the Truth of Eagle, she set her sights on all of Unlock's enemies.
And this involved... the traitors of the world.
Atop the Horse, was a dome. And inside was the Throne of Quera. This Throne remained sealed as Quera Sapphire sat in patience.
She always hid inside the Throne, even in the previous battles in which she had emerged to fight.
To many, her unremarkable Throne appeared like that of the WGP.
But now, she would fight and unseal her true powers.
No longer was she the brash, arrogant, and selfish woman guided by the extreme vanity of her being.
She had learned that she was made to desire lust, to desire vanity, to desire beauty as it was the essence bestowed on her by the Lost Primordial.
Her nature was wickedness, but now she was among the righteous.
Akasha watched as the large Horse made its rampage.
"Should we follow?" A hulking man walked out of the same exit.
He was one of the Overcomers who was believed to be might incarnate.
The man had transformed in the past weeks. His body could shrink and enlarge at will. His power has surpassed what was common to man and could be considered similar to the alien superhumans in the superhero comics of old.
Octarion Ceasar watched as the giant Horse moved. Though he had been awakened from the spell of Quera, Octarion chose to remain, not as a slave, but as a fellow Overcomer along with Eve Eden and Akasha.
"If you do, you'll get caught up in her powers again." Eve Eden warned.
"She is right." Akasha flew down.
"Even the blood I gave over to be part of the Horse is no longer in my control. The world has seen Quera, and she has been immortalized as 'the fairest of them all.' Her supposed death did more than just make the Presiders lose their guard. But it instilled a great desire. A dream, a fantasy where she was alive. Unknown to all, the world now longs for the Tyrant Empress even more. It will be the first time he is unsealed and full powers will be released. Ever since that battle, Arthur made it appear that she had died. And in doing so, it planted a desire in everyone."
The giant Horse galloped and made its way to the sides of the Caliphates.
And as expected, the traitors were all there.
The surrounding region of Israel had become a war-torn land.
The Caliphates had served the Unlocked army and watched over the entire region.
But, of course, they were destined for a traitorous response.
After weeks of watching the gigantic cube tower over the entire region of Jerusalem, the people began to envy it.
The entire cube went beyond the three dimensions. Though the Unlock had won the battle, they had not shown they could create such fortresses. And so, many believed that the Unlocked won by luck.
Within the weeks that passed, a secret transmission reached them.
Two Presiders from the Orbital had communicated with them and confided that they would create a nation with them!
Because the region was full of battles, the grasp of the Unlocked among the military and civilians was not as strong—or rather, they were intentionally made weak.
More than half of the population who resided in the Caliphates were part of the attempt to rebel against the Unlocked.
They waited for the Presiders to land to formally announce their traitorous intentions.
The army of a formerly thought-dead Presider who was part of the Pig Five brought his army toward the region of the Caliphates.
He knew Marrho would fight against Pridgeon and wanted to risk it all and aim for the winner of this battle. His army reached the space over the Caliphates, and no defense weapons were activated from the nations below them.
"A Throne is coming?" Greer noticed the approach of the Throne and the Red horse. Despite the horror, he was a Pig Five. And though he had suffered defeat, he was still a Top Tier!
He glanced at his Nephilus suit and observed the makings of his Throne.
Greer could present himself as a wandering Pioneer during the many chaotic battles within the Orbital. He used his power of devouring to eat and transmute his lost weapons at that time.
He had rebuilt his Throne, and it was once more as strong as it once was.
Aspects of his Throne were also taken from other Presiders. During the war against Renkerdis, he was there and managed to sneak in as a Pioneer. He devoured much of the weapons and devices in that battle.
He was in every skirmish and battle and was able to rebuild his army.
He ate many Pioneers within that period and reformed and regurgitated them to be his own men.
This was the terror of his tech. He devoured and altered science that could recreate and convert anything he ate into parts, objects, and even living beings that he had scanned.
He lost everything but now regained it and even had much more!
"I lost my army in that battle because luck was against me! But I will rise! I will Conquer!" Greer vowed as he made his Throne move to attack the approaching Horse.
His massive Throne began to change from a small throne, and the true appearance of his power that existed beyond the dimensions appeared.
A living creature was its Throne.
It was a creature that had transcended the dimensions. Unknown to many, Earth had one creature hiding within.
The tremendous mythological beast, the Leviathan, had appeared and manifested in the Three Dimensions.
It was a beast of hunger. A beast that could eat anything.
"You think you are the only ones with Dimensional Beasts?! I will devour you and make it my own! And when I finish harnessing your power, Pridgeon and Marrho will be next!"
The leviathan roared and moved from the sky. Its loud voice echoed in the nearby regions.
It was as big as a mountain range and covered the entire land.
The earthlings in the region trembled in fear for what they saw.
"Prove your allegiance to me... and fight!" The voice roared.
The cry called out to all the generals and politicians, who quickly followed as they saw the creature's sheer size. This wasn't a flying fortress, an unidentified object, or a rocket. It was a beast! And this sparked fear in the hearts of many.
All of the nations surrounding the Caliphates were mobilized. The traitors had already planned well, and even the soldiers who had no intention of betraying the Unlocked were all called and forced to march and meet the giant Horse.
The Red Horse stood and could see the giant beast. What was it compared to the horror of what Greer's true form was?
Nevertheless, its rider had no fear.
It was, in fact, exciting.
For so long had she held back her desires. Her craving. Her lust. And now, her beauty would once more be revealed to the world.
"If looks could kill... would it be me?" Quera sneered as the Throne slowly opened.
