?


    The disappearance of Alean sparked outrage, and reports were being made about it. No one knew where they went and where they vanished too.


    Yet, the Oveers could do little. The threat of the Presiders was still there, and the rest of the Oveers continued to surround the region of Rome and the Caliphates, which had massive movements and preparations for war.


    Seeker and his teams were all doing their respective missions alongside the border of this mission.


    Only Arthur and Lennox were tasked to move, but only after a nation was incited to war and sent a small army to attack the regions of Rome.


    Werewolves and vampires were also sent to fight, but the appearance of powerful android robots with speed and power countered the army that attacked.


    The battle brought in numerous nations as part of the Unlocked army''s way of drawing out who would be willing to join them in the conquest and who would side with them.


    Many nations had allied with the Unlocked army, and numerous massive fortresses were present.


    Rising from the ocean was the most massive infrastructure created outside the WGP.


    Itbined parts of the sunken Kraken and Antis with the Three Shapes of Pangea. It took parts of the King Naga and used the massive saucer of Shackstress''s fallen ship restructured in severalyers.


    The resulting ship was a massive cube that peered out of thend.


    But the armies of earth were easily defeated by Rome and the Caliphate cities, which now had incredible technology.


    The Moon of Pridgeon hovered over the Caliphate, and the gigantic ship of Lanterk floated over Rome.


    Underneath them was arge structure that reached towards the great heights of where it floated.


    It was only now that the Unlocked understood why such massive Babel structures were being made. The structures acted as Thrones and allowed the power of Universe Energy to be concentrated.


    But even as the wars continued, none of the Unlocked army''s real teams were ever sent out.


    Arthur arrived in the Underwater City where the Alean had fled from in a giant jet.


    It was among the first ster-capable jets deployed as the Unlocked techs began to surface to showcase their might.


    As such, Arthur and Lennox arrived fast as they dove into the ocean waters and used numerous techs of the WGP.


    "Still weakerpared to the weaponized Paths... But we can''t really make them any faster than we can..." Lennoxined as he moved out of the ship that had docked in the gigantic ship.


    "I''ll go scan and scout the area."


    "Why bother? Father, if Alean wants to escape from us, her path can almost ensure it. Even I can''t calcte where she is."


    "Seeing the future is pointless if she doesn''t have the means to move. She can''t use Rai''s power and will need to open the dimensions to the Void Realm. She can only move so much in this ce. That''s why I brought Guinevere. With the Nile Serpent, she can move around the depths of the sea and even under the sea to search for where she is hiding."


    "I doubt that. But I guess there''s no stopping you. In any case, I''ll go talk to Kristine." Arthur answered as he walked out.


    With a sh of lightning, Lennox disappeared and entered the electronic device, and took over the ship at once.


    The natives of the Underwater City greeted the arrival of Arthur and Lennox and treated them far more than they did with their leaders!


    The power that the Unlocked armies disyed had urged all the Underwater Cities to side with them.


    Lennox took control of the ship and began to analyze the paths and directions in that Alean took ce.


    The entire ship began to move, and the armories began to work.


    Elements and materials that the ship did not have ess to were quickly being made and invented.


    The armory techs of the Underwater cities had been changed and upgraded so that it could easily create techs of the WGP and even pseudo-Presider techs with ease.


    "Now, where would that girl have fled..." Lennox began to think.


    Nearly fifty nautical miles from where the underwater cityy, energy began to fluctuate as the dimensions morphed.


    The Presider-level techs of Teleportation forced the Nile Serpent to appear.


    The gic sons and daughters of Andronze were manning the entire Serpent. Despite being Aragarians, they had no ties that bound them to Aragar as they were raised to be Andronze''s very own force. The strange creation of these sons and daughters used earthlings to create them. So they were only half Aragarian. They appeared like normal humans and did not have the inverse cement of the organs that the Aragarians would have.


    Nogard had checked them and found no link between them and the curse of the Primordial. Because of that, these people continued to be the ones assisting Guinevere in piloting the Nile Serpent.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "That cost us Universe Energy..." Guinevere sighed.


    "Rx. We''re almost able to recreate it. All you would need to do is to eat a lot of food."


    Next to Guinevere was an Exoskeleton. But this Exoskeleton spoke like Lennox. It wasn''t an AI system that Lennox made. It was a clone. Lennox has sessfully created a lightning Clone of himself from the massive energy he stole from the WGP and the other Presider fortresses.


    But unlike his real body that could create lightning energy from within,


    "Amazing... Who would have thought that our bodies were naturally creating Universe Energy? To think our Paths are all isted and harnessed forms."


    "The Universe Energy is not just simple forms of harnessed energy. I believe that it is thews of this Universe. That''s why I think the Aragarians called it that."


    "Laws? As in... like math... and physics?"


    "Yes. Our Paths are, therefore, thews that govern this universe. We have the power to manipte things in the dimensions beyond. We are more than just modified humans. It''s like like we became thews themselves. I guess that''s part of Dimensional Transcendence." Lennox exined.


    "So what exactly am I looking for here, father? Alean''s powers andws would easily help her flee."


    "We search for any fluctuations or energy anomalies. We have to look for those two. I''ll use the Underwater City to scan this side. You take the other."


    "Alright... But the sea is toorge! They could have teleported through ces where the anomalies won''t be registered."


    "I''ve already calcted the geography of this ce and have simted what teleportation paths. We check on those. Zone is strong. But she has limited resources."


    "...I wonder why Alean did this in the first ce? And if she is, I''m sure she''s doing it for a good reason."


    "Depends on what you mean as good. A Principal is near. Who knows if that Zone that Alean is following is her own or if the Principal is altering the dimensions? Regardless of the reason, we cannot risk losing Zeraphine."


    As the two began their search, Arthur reached the clinic where Kristine was still recovering.


    The dissonance of Kristine''s realm caused the very armor that she wore to harm her. And even now, the metal pieces protruding out could not be called back, and the operation was veryplex since the flow of Kristine''s body had changed.


    "Interesting. You look like you received a curse from the Zulus." Arthur observed.


    Kristine couldn''t face Arthur.


    Lara was seated to the side.


    "...I''m sorry." Kristine sighed.


    "Don''t be. Alean was bound to be so strong. If she''s a Near-Oveer, then you never stood a chance.


    "What is she thinking?"


    "Our good."


    "Good?! If what she ims is true, if she meets and conquers that soul inside Seeker, she could be so strong and betray us!" Kristine warned.


    "...You''re right. That''s why I didn''t tell Seeker anything yet. Seeker sent me here to investigate. But if what you said is true, then the Zeraphine inside Seeker might have noticed this and would be acting. And that''s why I''m here."


    "You''re here for the Zerahpine inside Seeker?" Kristine was confused.


    "Yes. That Zerahphine would be more powerful to the soul. But I have not beenx. I''ve been making progress with Nogard''s tech. I have a theory. If it works, then we might have arger advantage." Arthur smiled.


    "If your theory works?"


    "Yes. If my theory works, then the tech of the soul that Nogard has and the peculiar case of Zeraphine ought to be linked. But right now, it''s too early. And that''s why we need you, Lara."


    "...Me?"


    "Yes. Why did it have to be you? Why did Zeraphine choose you? And why did she never use this power to transfer to someone else? We have been threatening Zeraphine for some time now. When she believed the Progenitor was watching her, the most logical thing was to ditch Lara''s body. But she didn''t. This meant that finding a body like Lara''s would be difficult and rare. There could only be hundreds of people like Lara on Earth. And Zeraphine didn''t have easy ess to them."


    "What do you mean?"


    "You could be what the ancient and superstitious people of earth would call... a medium."
