The skies of Egypt were constantly ringing with explosions as the battle continued to shift to the advantage of each Presider constantly.

In the middle of it were the shocking battles between the Tyrant Empress and Richie's team.

Several powerful attacks and explosions were occurring, and the fight was spreading.

The wind had brought Caesar and Hermes towards the ship of Feyor, who was not struggling with the battle. A wind Titan and Ceasar's bulky Exoskeleton were punching and knocking each other off. The slashes of Omrcion were evaded as Ceasar revealed impressive technology that allowed him to fly and evade.

Akasha fought against Akahs Zulu, who used occultist magic derived from a form of Soul cultivation. Akasha had her vampires, and Zulu had her team of spear-wielding winged soldiers. The soldiers were hidden in the locust swarm and were now emerging to fend off the vampire bats.

Gallium and Eden were also fighting each other. A massive plant creature with wings emerged. Ships had appeared, and all of them had plants growing over them.

As the battle progressed, numerous plants began to sprout everywhere. Ships and Exoskeletons that survived the waves of locust and retreated had unknowingly sent plants inside that managed to grow on steel.

The power of Eden's Overgrowth was spreading pollen everywhere on the battlefield through the locust swarm. But beyond that was another tech that the locust plague brought.

A pilot of the exoskeleton finally gave in to a sickness that he had and rushed back towards Tiana's ship.

The moment he entered the strange realm, his allies detected his fever.

"It's the fifth one! He has also contracted a plague! It's the same form of sickness!"

Tiana silently observed and could not help but be impressed at the cruelty of the Tyrant Empress.

"She leaked a plague right on the locust. This should be an enhanced form of the plague that Pridgeon was experimenting on the Pangean nations. Unless all of us scramble to make a cure, we will face a massive death toll on our forces. Even in this, they try to minimize our efficiency in the battlefield by making us use up our resources elsewhere."

"Presider, should we attack the Locust Queen?"

"That's even more problematic. Look at her! She managed to rob the powers of several enemies! Do you want to join in that? Pridgeon's Devourer suit may have even come from her!"

"Presider! We are detecting mass teleportation appearing right next to Straviaa's ship!"

"Oh? Pridgeon has finally moved in... Well, it's not surprising... Now, what to do...? If I move, I'd probably end up like Garenjazz and Myrth and get attacked myself... But this is an important time..." Tiana began to give a pondering look as she looked at the situation on the battlefield around her.

Inside Straviaa's ship, the situation was turning worse.

The infiltration had progressed, and nearly ten percent of her men had already been killed in the battle. The massive holes from her ship had weakened its integrity, and numerous techs were unusable.

"Where are your armies?!" Straviaa demanded.

"Teleporting here is impossible! In case you haven't noticed, numerous powers are already jamming the accuracy of teleportation! This was a huge trap by those Lost Primordials! They are here to kill the Progenitor and us! They must have given some techs to the WGP! The Many Manion, the large fortress that is gathering and forming together, all have a strange field that distorts the accuracy to teleport! If I teleport my army, they could appear inside that locust swarm! And all our launched weapons of mass destruction are easily being shot down! There are snipers around this area that are using techs to attack those! Even before we can fire them, it's already attacked!" Enderks cursed.

Hidden within the battlefield were trained snipers with alterations to their sights. They were all Inhumans and were the best in their fields.

Some were trained in China, some in Pangea, and others were trained inside the World Governing Trading Hub.

They were all trained with that purpose and had weapons with massive energy harnessed from the unlocked Paths.

Some hid inside the locust swarm as they were given over to the Tyrant Empress.

Some had infiltrated and taken a position in Egypt below.

Others still used the chaos to hide with the damaged ships of the Presiders.

Whether they were controlled by the Tyrant Empress or not, their mission remained the same. It ensured that no weapon of mass destruction could be used on the battlefield.

"How long till your forces arrive!? I'm losing more and more men!"

"My armies have to use common traveling methods, and they are flying at the fastest speed! But I have to make them take longer routes to avoid the WGP who threatened to attack if I go over a certain radius of their ships!"

"Presider! Incoming transmission from Andronze!" A Pioneer reported.

"What does she want! Allow it to connect!"

The feed revealed Andronze and a being that was similar to Lanterk.

"Straviaa, Enderks. We've all been tricked here. You probably know that even my fortress is under attack." Andronze began.

"Garenjazz and Myrth are now fighting as well. Someone has arranged this battle for their favor. We will offer a ceasefire. Move out of this place and deal with the pests in your ship, and we will not attack you." Lanterk offered.

"If we continue to fight and if you follow the lies of whatever those Lost Primordial or the Progenitor gave out, we will all lose," Andronze spoke again.

"You! How can I know that-"

"We accept." Enderks answered.

"What?!" Straviaa was stunned.

"A team has managed to attack Garenjazz and Myrth. Can we really afford distractions? They are already on our ship! Call for a retreat! But Andronze, send your forces to attack Tiana and Feyor. Distract them to allow our retreat. They will most likely attack us."

"No! Haven't you seen the state of my base? You fend for yourselves! I don't think they will attack you anyway!" Andronze frowned.

"My forces will arrive shortly. They will distract them soon. They won't attack you and call you a traitor if you pull out now. They will be afraid that they will be the next targets. Especially Tiana." Lanterk explained.

"Fine! We'll pull out now! Send your men back. We will be moving in the direction of your army, Lanterk! That way, they will think we are moving to deal with it first."

"Good idea. Also... I've asked Pridgeon to help you. We made a soul deal that they will help you. They should be arriving soon as they are close by and could teleport without receiving a backlash from the techs that are disrupting the accuracy of our warp and teleporting techs."

"Pridgeon?" Straviaa frowned.

"It's definitely a trap!"

BOOM!

Suddenly, their ship began to tremble as numerous explosions could be heard in the background.

"Presider! Another compartment has been breached! It's a massacre! We are being invaded from all sides!"

"Do it. Straviaa, if things get out of hand, we can still teleport it out!"

"But...!"

"We have no choice. If you delay, we might lose more than we've bargained for! Make your retreat!" Enderks ordered.

Straviaa had no choice but to issue her retreat.

Feyor was the first to notice the sudden retreat of Straviaa's ship. He cursed out but couldn't leave his place.

"Tiana!" He communicated to Tiana.

"Leave them be. It seems that Straviaa has accepted a ceasefire from Andronze. Let's just focus on them first. We cannot see it yet, but those who infiltrated Egypt are doing more damage. The core of Egypt is rotting. And soon, only its shell remains. We wait for the right time to move." Tiana answered.

Feyor was silenced at Tiana's answer. He had called to remind Tiana of their mission and would have threatened to make Tiana fight; otherwise, he would attack her ship. But Tiana didn't have any intentions of leaving and even gave Feyor some advice.

Because of this, Straviaa's retreat became easier as no one was there to attack her ship.

She quickly issued a full-blast retreat. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

As she retreated, the space in front of her ship began to distort as a massive moon appeared. It had numerous damaged parts and pieces that were missing.

"Pridgeon!"

"Relax, Straviaa. I'm here to get my mission done. Someone is sent to assassinate you. I'm here to help!" Pridgeon emerged from the ship as his very Throne appeared. This was his plan to gain the trust of the two instantly.

"Then you must enter the compartments where the traitors are!" Straviaa answered.

"My pleasure!"

ALERT!

"Weapons of mass destruction detected!" A Pioneer exclaimed.

The detected energy source was coming from the land below. There were no detectable silos or launching pads, but a massive missile appeared and was headed towards Pirdgeon's ship!

"Shoot it down!" Straviaa answered.

Pridgeon also began to fire numerous beams toward the approaching missile.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As beams and bombs blew up the area, numerous explosions occurred to destroy the missile.

But after the barrage of attacks, the missile pushed through unharmed.

"What?!" Straviaa and Pridgeon were shocked and sent even more and more attacks.
