The meteor shower had brought a sudden calm to the skies above as the Presiders began to regroup.

Myrth, Straviaa, Enderks, and the Babel tower of Andronze detected numerous enemies breaching in and causing havoc from within their ships.

The Many Mansions was now under the control of Miranne Everhiss with her husband, Chase Brander, and their daughter Magantae.

"This looks like the perfect moment! Deploy them all and have them assume their formation! She's coming! All sensors shift to minimal visual feeds and prohibit sound from being transmitted." Miranne ordered.

The Many Mansions incorporated many techs, including Lennox's technology for the Kyogre, which Charles piloted.

Throughout the battle, the schematics of each exoskeleton were quickly identified, and the group began to make weak, cheap, piloted dolls of these Exoskeletons. They appeared to be similar to the Exoskeletons of the numerous Presiders. As the effects of the meteor shower had confused each team, Miranne found the perfect opportunity to deploy these.

Piloting them were numerously Unlocked had the highest scores and performed the most in computer games designed to train the Unlock.

The exoskeletons were weak in armor and had decent firepower. But their purpose was to create chaos after 'she' used her powers.

The skies darkened as the locust approached.

Andronze saw it and frowned. She had discarded the use of Locust tech in this battle due to their ineffectiveness. After all, this person forcibly took control of the locust that she had created.

Andronze activated a protocol that would otherwise shut down any form of control over the locusts, and the Babel Tower released this strange signal.

Yet the locust was not affected.

"The plague of locust!" Lanterk saw the approaching enemies.

"But how are they controlling it?!" Andronze could not understand. Even if the enemies found a way to control all locusts, it would have been disrupted by the technology she used.

And yet the locust moved freely and formed ranks.

An Exoskeleton belonging to that of Straviaa was caught against the swarms of the locust. And the strange creatures began to do the impossible. It ate the exoskeleton.

The pilot who thought he could navigate through the insects found his entire body being devoured!

It was then that Andronze realized that there was a strange power at work that improved the capabilities of the locust.

The metal was eaten and devoured, and even the pilot was consumed.

The scream of the pilot could not be heard amid the buzzing swarm.

Numerous people were shocked at the capabilities of the swarm of locusts. It had a strange power that allowed it to have the strength to devour metal!

Amir Mann frowned, and his anger raged.

"That Tyrant Empress! She controlled the rampage of my power!"

The locust's lifespan was greatly hastened as it transformed into werelocusts that had the strength to chip the smallest piece of metal. But like a swarm, its capabilities to devour the metal was shown as these small bites happened almost instantly.

Small bits of metal fell on the side, and many ships were threatened by the power.

The swarm opened up, and it revealed several people standing around a massive blooming flower with a Rule at its very core.

Numerous Rules also appeared at the side. And these Rules were from various Emperors and Empress that had mysteriously vanished over the months.

The Emperors that once accompanied Miranne Everhiss in their love also stood among the forces.

A massive Exoskeleton similar to the Dawn Soldiers of Australia was standing on the petal. His entire suit was brimming with energy, and the radiation level that he released was powerful. But for some reason, the radiation was only around his armor and did not spread out.

Near the center of the blooming flower was a beautiful woman sitting on the vine. She had a strange Exoskeleton that looked like plants, and at her appearance, the parch lands of Egypt suddenly began to produce sprouts!

To the side was a man who was wearing a strange Exoskeleton. It took the shape of bones and skulls. But as he appeared, it caused great havoc among the Presiders.

"What is that? A Principal?!" Andronze frowned.

"No. He simply has an aspect of power that makes a Principal. He isn't even Top-Tier! What a strange power the Lost Primordial has! It's like a Presider finding a dead Principal and experimenting on its soul!"

"It has soul tech?!"

"It commands the soul of the dead!" Lanterk explained.

"What?! How is that possible?!" Andronze cursed.

Suddenly, the Rule at the very center of the petal began to open up.

The moment she appeared, a powerful force swept the entire battlefield. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

Even Garenjazz was affected.

"What?! Fate's Favor is moving towards her?!" Garenjazz exclaimed.

The powers of numerous Paths were suddenly trembling.

Lioncourt, Hermes, Lennox, and Meng, who were actively activating their respective Paths to create an effect, the space around began to be affected. It was as if their Paths and powers were being stolen from them.

The energy flowed out, and these Overcomers grimaced in pain.

Lennox began to struggle, and Arthur took him up.

"She's giving a portion of my power to that thought process I created! It's impossible! She's giving it life!" Lennox cursed.

The Wind, the Realm, the Lightning, and the Desolation obeyed her will as she stepped forward.

"The Bible was right in saying that the locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank. Because the locust serves no king but serves a Queen!" The Tyrant Empress declared as the various Paths manifested and were absorbed by her!

"Path Stealing! She took the active powers of telekinesis!" Lioncourt cursed.

Up in the great fortress of Zeraphine, Seeker didn't know whether he would be happy or worried.

The power of the Tyrant Empress had surpassed his imagination. She had become like him! But, while he could use the power of others and wield it, the Tyrant Empress used her powers to attract and make the Paths hers!

"Good luck, Richie..." Seeker wished for Richie's success in this mission. If the Tyrant Empress wins, she might gain the confidence to conquer. And the rest of the Overcomers will have fear knowing that she can consume them!

The Tyrant Empress removed her mask. This was the most necessary part of this mission.

But even as she did this, Myrth, Garenjazz, Lanterk, Andronze, and Tiana did not hesitate and activated their powers that commanded the Universe Energy of the world and created a ripple that affected the entire world around them.

"That girl is quite dangerous, Seeker. No wonder your father is scared of her!" Garenjazz no longer ha a calm expression. But he was actually worried.

"What was that?" Zeraphine asked.

"All of us used a powerful shield that the Universe Energy can use. We don't know what kind of power she has, so we erected a powerful shield that can even reflect Fate's Favor itself!" Garenjazz explained.

"In short, a shield that moves through numerous dimensions. She must have felt it. That's why she didn't remove her mask." Seeker answered.

And true enough, the Tyrant Empress, who was about to remove her mask, grew extremely angry.

At that moment, she felt that she was not beautiful enough.

"So Universe Energy can be used like this, eh? One day, I'll command the Universe! I just have a new goal to reach!" The Tyrant Empress then chuckled. It was unbecoming for someone as beautiful as her to show anger. So she removed her mask to reveal her beauty.

Every Presider felt an extreme sense of danger as they could feel the potential of her power.

"She must die!" Everyone decided.

"Kill her!" The Presiders shouted, and all the stunned soldiers were awakened from their trance.

"Please, be my knight. Protect me!" She pleaded.

And all of a sudden, numerous men instantly acted and killed those near them.

A small portion of each army began to attack each other and began to make a formation to protect the Tyrant Empress.

At that moment, the exoskeletons that Miranne deployed began to attack. They had adapted a strange form of sight that showed no visuals at all but only displayed target size estimates in bright circles and walls. There was also no sound, so this remote exoskeleton was unaffected by the Tyrant Empress.

The battle started, and it looked as if all the Presiders were warring against each other!

An all-out war broke out, and the Overcomers and the teams that infiltrated the ships also picked up their fighting. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

"That girl is dangerous," Garenjazz spoke again.

"Zeraphine, let's target her." Garenjazz urged.

"Wait." Seeker suddenly called out.

"My father said that her greatest rival will definitely act in this situation that she appears. So you said that you guys created some shield?"

"Yes. We don't know what her power is, but it's weakened!"

"Then they will act."

"EAAAAAGGGLLLLLEEEEE MAAAAANNNNN!" A loud cry echoed out of the heavens, and suddenly several flying figures, each wearing capes and costumes like superheroes, appeared.

Richie appeared, donning an upgraded form of his Eagle Man costume.

The entire realm around them began to quiver. Every cell, every molecule trembled as it heard this sound.
