Chapter 514 Return Of The Plagues
The assault of the Overcomers came at the most advantageous moment.
Numerous threats have befallen them due to the threat of Lanterk's power. All Presiders were affected. But none among the Unlocked armies were.
The sacking of Lanterk's ship allowed the Unlocked to create metals that would not follow the tremendous pull and control of Lanterk. So unless Lanterk unleashes his Universe Energy, the Unlocked armies won't suffer remote control of Lanterk. But the magnetic pulses that breach and travel through the dimensions affect numerous techs of the other Presiders.
And then, there were the millions of Andronze's armies. The fight was so catastrophic that all Presiders were implementing countermeasures upon countermeasures to limit the attacks and damages to the millions of Andronze.
The sudden attack on Myrth's ship and the lightning bolt mistakenly sent to Straviaa caused joy to Andronze.
"As I thought. That Lost Primordial couldn't help themselves, and they will begin to fight each other!" Lanterk sneered as he saw the progressing battle.
"Just make sure that your fortress is fortified and is guarded to alert of any sudden infiltration. As I told you before, these people have superior teleportation, and some can even pass through walls. That's how they managed to attack me. They kept me busy and secretly sent an assassin to try to kill my main body."
"I have made preparations. Every room in this place is set to detect the appearance of any metal and any signatures that are different to all my men and weapons." Andronze answered.
"Let's hope that's enough. But if you are their target, I would bet that they could even reach your room!" Lanterk explained.
Andronze raised her brow but didn't answer.
"It's time for me to move to the offensive! This battle is tilting to my advantage, and I have to eliminate as many forces as possible! Command the Nile to attack!" Andronze ordered.
"Pre-Presider! Look!" A Pioneer exclaimed as he saw the changes to the Nile.
The massive flood dragon made of the Nile began to shout in pain. Then, at its tail, red water began to appear.
A strange parasite was attacking the Nile.
"It's that damned bat! How did she enter this perimeter?!" Andronze cursed as she saw a huge part of the Nile becoming a separate entity.
"It can actually override the power that your Nile technology can do!" Lanterk was amazed. It was strange that another technology could actually override the tech of a Presider. Because of the diverse branches in the paths to being a Principal, it was very rare that two Presiders who fought would be able to take control of the science of another!
Andronze cursed and began to use the water technology to wield the power of the Nile, but a portion of the Nile rejected it and tore itself out of Andornze's control!
At the center of the Nile were Akasha and two others.
These two were former allies of Egypt that ran away. Damien was the scientist in charge of improving Nile Research technology. And the greatest fruit was the personification of the Nile itself. She was referred to as Experiment 01A3 and given the codename, the Woman of the Nile. She was also the woman who Damien eventually fell in love with and fled together, faking deaths and even successfully eluded the Pioneers and the Presider of Egypt.
Her power controlled the massive river and was using her realm to be merged with that of Akasha. The pair had secretly trained for this while faking captivity with Andronze. And now, the two were ready to fight together.
She was also an Unranked. But in terms of Path, she would be considered a Ranked Hero.
Steffany stood next to Akasha and was combining their powers to wrestle control from Andronze.
"Is this your limit?" Akasha asked.
"Hardly. But the teachings of Lowengren state that I should not reveal all my power at once." Steffany laughed.
"Get ready to fight. The Plagues of Egypt will strike the heart when we begin our attack. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m
"I wonder if the Pioneer who assumed the identity of Marion Raison is there..."
"Who is he?" Akasha asked.
"The man who was in charge of improving Nile Research under Andronze. He is also the cause of my wife's suffering and power." Damien answered as he wore a special underwater Exoskeleton suit.
"Who knows? But Lennox plans to kill every single one of Egypt. So I'm sure you'll find that Pioneer soon."
"I want to thank him before I kill him. If not for him, I won't be able to best the science of a Presider." Steffany laughed as the pair began to initiate an attack.
BOOM!
A massive explosion occurred as the red Nile launched a massive blast that created a Hydrogen Bomb inside the force field!
The attack forced Andronze to gear her Throne and was about to move out.
"Frogs in the main armory!" A Presider suddenly reported as the weapons deposit began to explode.
Numerous frogs were forming from the liquid metal being harnessed.
The cameras caught sight of a man that appeared out of the metal and was laughing.
"That frog?! How did he get in there?!"
"Presider! Help! Something is eating me!" One of those inside the Command Center shouted as she began to scratch and pounded on her skin.
"Ahhhh!" The shout echoed out, and Andornze did a quick scan and found the cause.
"Lice?!" Andronze was stunned.
"Presider! A swarm of flies is coming out of the vents within the base!" Another Presider reported.
"Presider! The Flies have high radiation! It's causing damage to all the exoskeletons and armors on our stock!"
"Kill it! Release a base-wide electric shock to counter all lice and flies!" Anrdronze quickly ordered.
"Ahhh!" Another Pioneer suddenly shouted as massive boils began to erupt on their skin.
Andronze couldn't understand where the location was.
"How did they teleport those things inside?" Lanterk was confused. He had seen the techs of teleportation and even shared his confidence that Andronze's preparations won't be able to stop it. But the strange things that teleported inside did not make any sense.
"There are no fluctuations in this base! Presider! We can't pinpoint the source of all this!"
"Did these things pass through?" Lanterk frowned. He had seen how Jake had managed to appear right before him!
Andronze began to create orders to eliminate all the infiltrating forces. But the amount of damage was occurring everywhere within the ship!
But unknown to them, the source of all these plagues came under Egypt!
Throughout the weeks, the Nile Serpent that Lowengren controlled secretly picked up Gallium, Akasha, Damien and Steffany, and several Unlocked teams. The entrance to the Nile Serpent was a secret to all, and no means of communication and links connected it to Andronze. When the Unlocked reached that area, they simply used Dug Down Deep to move into Egypt. The team had no metal on. Gallium dug straight to the metal source and used the week to assimilate his power on the liquid metals that were prepared to create armies if needed quickly.
As for the flies and lice, they were already inside the base. Again, no metal was detected, and even the power of radiation had moved all over the place.
Many of the flies were born with desolate power and had activated themselves as Meng arrived and triggered the desolation power with the help of Lioncourt, who expanded his realm.
The consecutive plagues inside Egypt caused the fighting capabilities of Egypt to go down by several levels!
Andronze was shouting numerous orders to stop everything.
"Andronze!" Lanterk shouted.
"What?! Can't you see I'm busy!"
"The Nile into blood! Frogs! Lice! Flies! The damage to your stocked resources because of the flies! And now, boils from numerous people probably because of the lice! Don't you see what this is?!"
"Obviously, I know! The Plagues of Egypt!"
"Exactly! Then prepare for the next plague!" Lanterk ordered.
"Next plague? Hail?"
"Fiery hail!"
"Presider... We don't detect anything in the immediate skies!" A Pioneer reported.
"Check higher! I can detect it! It's still in space!" Lanterk frowned as he glanced up to the skies above.
In the week that had passed, The Void Assassin was given a very difficult mission. He had to journey to the far outdistance of time and space and used the most powerful techs that they had available to fling him towards the great distance.
Lanterk's attack drew the attention of everyone, and no one cared about the distortions that occurred outside of Earth. The secret base of the Presiders, which was behind Mars, was too far to detect these fluctuations.
The Void Assassin found a wandering asteroid and used his powers to teleport them back to earth by making a series of jumps with the asteroid.
And just as Arthur estimated, the Void Assassin managed to return exactly at the right moment.
Rai found the powerful radiation devices launched on a nearby satellite that the meteor struck just as Arthur predicted and detonated it at the front of the asteroid and jumped out.
BOOM!
The power of Ice and Desolation spread out.
It was then that all Presiders detected the sudden appearance of a massive asteroid!
It had powerful ice had covered it and in it was desolation. This was the very same combination that Meng and Rosa used to coat and create their dragon was applied over the asteroid.
Rai jumped off the asteroid as it was entering the atmosphere and was saved by a flying plane owned and piloted by the Unlocked armies.
Rai was exhausted as he arrived in the safety of the plane.
"My liege!" The Void Assassins greeted.
"Let me sleep. That mission was crazy! I nearly died!" Rai laughed as he fell to sleep and the numerous doctors began to work on Rai to save him.
The ninjas respected their master's decision but could not help but worry about the massive asteroid falling, potentially annihilating half of the Earth.
"I hope the Presiders can deal with... THAT!" A ninja hoped.
