After the events in China, the Tyrant Empress was imprisoned in a secure location that was kept deep within the ocean. She was housed in a particr chamber in the Tatsulok where prisoners would be kept. It was a small chamber held by some chains and was allowed to sink further down as if it were anchors resting on the deeper part of the ocean.


    Only the worst of criminals were ced here.


    In this small ss chamber, the Tyrant Empress was recovering.


    The battle that she fought caused her to use an unbelievable amount of energy. Her entire body was something that naturally gathered energy. Yet despite containing energy that far exceeded what Lennox or Meng could contain, no one dared perform any experiments on her.


    The Tyrant Empress kept ncing at the view through the window. She could see the lights on the Tatsulok, which was right on top of her.


    Her expression was not in any way angry or distressed. Rather a look of excitement remained on her face.


    She wore a strange and very seductive outfit that she made do from the prison clothes she received.


    She watched the lights on top, which illuminated the waters above.


    "Enjoying the view?" Seeker''s voice appeared.


    "Seeker Carlean. I hope you''re very satisfied with what I did with that person that you call a Presider."


    Seeker was seated in arge room along with several familiar characters.


    The monitor in that room disyed the text of what the Tyrant Empress said.


    "Oh. We''re very, very satisfied. I don''t know how he''ll interpret it but what''s important is that we have nted a desire in their group."


    "Desire?"


    "A desire that has to be awakened. In my future, we figured quite a bit about these Aragarians and the society that they live in."


    "I''ve read the reports."


    "Yet would you believe that in my future, there was no incident of these Aragarians betraying or killing each other?"


    "Ah. So that''s what you meant by desire…"


    "Yes. I''m sure Eagle will approve. Even the Bible talks about it. A kingdom divided against its own is doomed to fail. The Presiders in my timeline was very by the book. No one got greedy. The desire that you ced in him will urge him to betray. For one reason or the other."


    "Satan casts out Satan." The Tyrant Empress murmured.


    "Exactly. As such, Pridgeon should go back with his alien colleagues. The once-forgotten temptation is made open. And if all goes well, we could kill another Presider. The death of another in mysterious circumstance ought to make the others wary."


    "So you used me to awaken his lust."


    "A powerful obsession normally awakens other desire. With the many Presiders around, Pridgeon knows that there are otherpetitors that may acquire you. And so, the thought of betrayal will be made open. Even that coward Pridgeon would be turned into a scheming monster with this obsession."


    "You truly are capable for a kid!"


    "Well, I do have my memories of the future. And boy… You sure have caused quite amotion there. In my future, you were able to attract several Oveers. Those that did follow your bidding. On the other hand, the few Oveers that we''re able to resist you became another unit. But of course… this meant that our armies were divided."


    "So you''re thinking of locking me up?"


    "We will be locking you up for a time. It''s so that the others can get a head start."


    The Empress sneered when she heard that.


    "Oh my… Sounds dangerous! Eventually, you won''t be imprisoning me or limiting my movements, but instead, you n to unleash me into this world? I''m not sure if you''ve gone mad or have sumbed to my powers." The Empressughed.


    "You were wild and crazy, but you were strong. Even though these Oveers were under your control, you still managed to conquer all those nations and even killed a Presider. If it weren''t for your sess in conquering the West, the ns that we made to make the remaining humans flee wouldn''t have seeded. Why would I bind an Oveer?"


    "That''s quite a bold and dangerous n you have! How sure are you that I won''t turn on you? You already guessed what I want as someone who has trodden on my Path! Tell me, Seeker… Is your selfish desires already manifesting?"


    Seeker was unable to hide it in his facial expression. His micro-expressions revealed themselves. And while it was gone half a secondter, Arthur and Lowengren saw it clearly.


    "I have my own path to tread. The flight to power alwayses with heart issues that we have to deal with. Meng was able to conquer his heart demons, and so can I. But one thing is for sure. I won''t be like you who gave in to her demons as you did."


    "Little boy, I conquered my demons. I even tamed them! But I guess I shouldn''tin. This n of yours sounds perfect. I believe that you want me to be the whetting stone for the Oveers that you gather. You n to make me the queen of a kingdom and have the Oveers fight me."


    "That is the n. We do need to introduce chaos into this world. The butterfly effect is now something that I didn''t worry about when I got Arthur and Lennox. Only they were capable of putting order to this chaos. But with you in the picture, our advantages can only skyrocket."


    "Just be careful, little boy. I''ve never made it a point to go after minors. But you''re one tasty treat that I just have to try."


    Seeker gripped his fists as he read those words. The dormant lust awoke and caused Seeker''s hand to tremble. But several memories shed at Seeker''s eyes, and it was as if something else took over Seeker.


    "You''ll try. But you won''t win. You''re not the only Oveer here, Empress." Seeker spoke in a low and angry voice. It was as if it was a different Seeker speaking.


    The Tyrant Empress noticed this and wondered. She smiled and shook her head.


    "Looks like I''m still too weak and ugly to arouse your senses. So where exactly are you going to unleash me?"


    "I won''t be the one who will unleash you. You will be controlled by someone who hasn''t seen you yet."


    "So cautious."


    "My Master told me of your strange ability. Those who saw you will dream of you, right? I have my fair share of subus encounters. And even those random dreams affect me. How much more a dream from you."


    "Subus encounters? I like the way you put it. Tell me boy… who were they?"


    "The most terrifying dreams involved girls who I never even bothered with. It wasn''t that I didn''t find them attractive. I just never thought of them in that way. But all it took was one suggestive dream. It was random, but it involved them. The dream was also vivid and clear, unlike other vague and forgettable dreams. I find myself waking up and lusting after these girls. And it was a form of lust that could put it on par with the girls I have always lusted after."


    "Sounds like these girls are special."


    "Well, they are. But the lust and emotions that those dreams carry are haunting. Some of those dreams were before the war and the Unlocking. And some were during. But I know the current Unlocking is not enough to stop it. At Unbing Proficient, we can control our dreams. But I know that your power is different than that. It will breach our control. And I''ve heard my Master in his sleep. I heard his suffering groans. His longing cries. That unquenchable desire nearly killed him. I saw him suffer because of these dreams that he gave up sleeping as a whole. I even had to fight him together with the other pupils from his madness when he woke up. I''ve already told the others. The moment we free you, that could be an urrence."


    "Oh. What a marvelous n. But you should know how dangerous it is to tell me that. I have not yet acquired that power. Why are you intentionally telling me this?"


    "Because you have to grow stronger. Despite your strength, my dear Tyrant Empress, we only won our battles through subterfuge, tricks, and ns. In this timeline, we don''t know what enemies we will face. What you can be sure of, the you in my timeline stands no chance of winning. You won''t be the queen of the world! You will be a ve. A whore brought and disyed by the mighty hunters who have captured you. You will be a trophy. Nothing more."


    Everyone who was unlocked felt it. Powerful anger was vibrating around the area.


    Arthur and Lowengren watched the screen with a serious expression.


    Meryl and Lynd were visibly trembling.


    "Is that… so?" The Empress asked.


    "A single Presiders could be equal to Inhumans in terms of strength. The problem is that they have techs that can outfit an army. So it would take a Ranked Hero to kill one, considering they have to go through an army. And that''s how some Oveers fell in battle. What if a being appears that makes these Presiders simple foot soldiers? Not even your tech can beat that."


    The Empress was wearing an extremely angry expression. While her beauty remained, those that would see her would tremble in fear.


    "I''ll take that… into consideration. I will need a hi-tech ship."


    "Done. Lennox is currently crafting a vessel here in the Tatsulok that will be your escape pod. Whoever will control your pod will navigate it for three months. After that, that person will bring you near a country you can conquer."


    "Then you better make that vessel fully equipped. I want the capability to craft my own gear in that ship."


    "Done." Seeker answered.


    "Zeek. The Tyrant Empress… is she smart?" Lynd asked in confusion. A ship like what she was asking was something that could only benefit scientists and doctors.


    "Of course she is. She''s a scientist of superb intellect. She has several doctorates in engineering, biology, medical doctorates, and so on. She''s very vain that she sees herself to be very smart."


    "Little boy, I am the smartest." Sheughed.


    "Lennox, Eagle, and my Master are smarter than you. But of course, knowing your capability, we won''t be stingy. You will have the files pertaining to Unlocking the possible means to weaponize it. But note that your ship is designed that it can explode and kill you inside it. We will free you, but you will be contained for three months."


    "I will be in my cocoon. Don''t worry. I see now how weak I am. I bet that me in your future never lost. Too bad. These wounds of mine and the pain in my heart will make me more beautiful than that pale imitation of me you met in your future. I will Ovee. This world and all of you will be mine. Just be sure you''re ready when I break out of my shell."


    Seeker immediately terminated them line.


    Three months passed, and the Tyrant Empress has finally emerged and appeared on Earth.


    ntter felt as if his entire body was going stiff.


    "Petrification? Amazing." LennoxV2.3 muttered as he controlled the suit of ntter.


    ntter couldn''t believe what he saw. The amazing beauty before her was so amazing that he literally lost his mind.


    A maic pulse was released, and all the shocked soldiers suddenly knelt down as their suits moved on their own.


    Those that had no suits were also kneeling as strange electricity in the area caused them to.


    "Tyrant Empress. I am a piece of Lennox. And I am here to serve you."


    "Take over that body of the Pioneer in that suit. Though I need severalpanions to warm my night, I still can''t afford to lose men. For now, we pick a country to conquer. What do you suggest?"


    "Africa. We need to cause havoc in Egypt."


    "Oh, that''s easy. I assume you have several ships waiting?"


    "Yes. And we''ve just received word that more areing."


    "Good. Now… It''s time to make this world Dream of a Subus!"


    A strange power began to move across the world that day.


    Unknown to the world, many began to dream a strange scene that triggered an obsession, a desire, and a great longing for many.


    Seeker and the Realm King were together discussing their ns. But then, a strong sensation gripped Seeker.


    Sweat began to pour out of his back as a great sense of fear shrouded his heart. He could almost hear her whisper.


    "Woah. Who- no… What is that?" The Realm King frowned.


    "Quera Sapphire. The Tyrant Empress.. It looks like I won''t be sleeping for weeks…" Seeker frowned.
