The presence of Garenjazz was frightening.

The moment he spoke to them the power of his form appeared.

Everyone could see the eagle's wings and the beast-like face that appeared over him.

While his physical form was weaker than the one in his dream world, he was still a Top Tier Presider.

His supra-dimensional form was being reflected in the three dimensions.

The Universe Energy seemed alive and the dreams were merging and being upheld.

The ragtag team that Cliff and Alean brought would be no match for him. They were also not prepared to fight him or had planned to combat him.

The Unlock always planned for various scenarios and who would be fighting against who. But Cliff had no choice but to fight.

Yet despite this disadvantage, none of the Unlocked cowered.

"Poker? My boy's in there. I don't you should play with him. He's not yet even eighteen. In a few weeks, he will be. But you should lay off him for now." Chris answered as he took out a gun and began to load it with various weapons.

"Oh? You are so eager to die, huh? Hey, you two. You look like the parents of the Progenitor's son. Are you the biological parents that the Progenitor used? How generous of him to help you gain strength to reach where you are..." Garenjazz smiled.

"Whatever the case, we're here to stop you from teaching our little boy how to gamble!"

"And yet you allowed Crazy Carlean to make all those gambles back then. In hindsight, it seems you guys have been planning this for some time now. The world grew chaotic, but you strengthened the nations that will provide resources to build..." Garenjazz smiled.

"It wasn't a gamble because we knew he would win. You, on the other hand..."

"Hmm.... I wonder... Was I lucky enough to kill someone? You seem rather angry!" Garenjazz chuckled.

"I don't think... killing him was luck for you." Chris's eyes turned red as his modified eyes were slowing down time and his gun began to tremble with the surging power.

Grace was also glaring at him.

"You killed a man with that lucky punch of yours," Grace recalled fond memories of her dear friend. This included all the times she rejected his offers.

"He was the friend who I treated the worse but stuck with me to the end. I'd like to pay him back by shoving a bullet of these down his murderer even if it kills me."

"Oh my... How scary." Garenjazz laughed.

The Indigos were now donning a special Exoskeleton skin suit that granted them energy to release Realm Bullets. They began to equip more weapons and charged them.

"Will these bullets even do anything?" Lynda laughed.

"This is insane! But I guess if we die, it's fitting to die against such a person, right?" Peters laughed.

Lim glanced at Garenjazz and had a troubled look at the power leaking out of Garenjazz. She and the rest of the Gryphon Squadron had also arrived and saw the form of the eagle.

"Just looking at him is making me queasy..." Epic sighed.

"Focus, Epic. Our mission is to get our leader out. If we die in the process, it's only part of the mission. Besides, our enemy is a Lion with wings of the eagle which is stated in Daniel 7. But we are the Gryphon Squadron! He's not the only half-lion, half-eagle around here. Team! Prepare for combat!" Ivan shouted.

Everyone roared and prepared their weapons.

Meanwhile, Cliff had finished his charging.

BOOM!

A surge of thick energy covered Cliff as he injected the last source of energy into himself.

The form of the Basilisk appeared once more.

"I guess I have to hurry up with my game. Fighting two battles in different dimensions are very annoying... Maybe I can steal some of your luck? Especially you! The power of the Prophet will be mine!"

Alean triggered the power that was being developed in her. Her Path was strong but it gave her no powerful defensive or offensive capabilities. But with the many technologies of the Supreme Exoskeleton and nanotech technology, she was the first to be injected with blood that had nanotechnology. This was one of the rare weapons of the Unlocked as only Alean has it and was given to her for her preservation.

The nano techs began to appear and create a Skin-Suit Exoskeleton around her.

"Let's see if you have the mouth for it! I've seen it... You can't attack us, can't you?! Progenitor's fight has weakened you!"

"As expected of a Prophet! You got that right. But I can dream of something to kill you. So you guys better hurry." Garenjazz laughed.

Cliff was the first to charge forward and used his massive Basilisk form to make a suicidal charge onto Garenjazz.

"So eager to die?" Garenjazz laughed.

"I'm the General! Everyone dies after I die!" Cliff shouted. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

BOOM!

But the entire Basilisk stopped as the Universe Energy created a shield around Garenjazz.

Cliff was thrown back as the impact produced a powerful shockwave.

Resisting the explosion, everyone launched their attacks and the shield was starting to crack.

The rest began to launch their attacks and the shield that contained Universe Energy was weakening.

"Such admirable General! And, amazingly, your combined efforts can do this! This power that is a divergent form of the Universe Energy is interesting. I see that the Origin Energy used by the WGP is not just an inferior version. It's a different path to achieve the same thing! But I don't need to fight you guys. I'll bet on my luck.

The entire shield began to shrink and what was left were three small, thin lines that formed a circle around Garenjazz. The circle began to spin and it was as if there were three round metal hoops moving spinning so fast that it looked like a ball had covered Garenjazz.

"If you guys are lucky, even your bullets can pass through and hit me." Garenjazz chuckled.

Everyone began to shoot out powerful attacks and was using bullets that were a weaponized version of a Path.

But Garenjazz had compressed the power of the universe shield into three small hoops of different sizes and made it spin around him.

BANG! BOOM!

The explosions and attacks could not hit as they wasted their bullets.

"Stop attacking! We're falling into a trap! Don't let his risky form fool you into thinking you can attack!" Lim warned.

"Oh, don't be such a killjoy. Gamble with me!" Garenjazz laughed.

Cliff rushed in again and used his Basilisk to bite down one of the spinning rings!

One of the rings was stopped from moving but Cliff's appearance was turning pale as he was consuming a vast amount of energy just to keep one of the wheels from spinning. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

"You think that's enough? You underestimate my luck." Garnejazz yawned at Cliff.

But the attack did not make any attacks on the shield.

"You guys are boring. My dream is taking shape. He never got the chance to fight. If you don't hurry up, you guys will lose." Garenjazz chuckled as a dark portal opened from above them.

Lim saw it and cursed.

"We have to hurry! I can see it! Another Presider! Crostfree! He's envisioning Crostfree! His dream is making a Presider!" Lim warned.

Everyone began to launch their attacks but even with only two hoops, their attacks could not land. The pure chance gave Garenjazz astonishing luck.

"My luck is too strong for all of you. And I guess it's time for me to finish this poker game, too. Say, kid... Got any Five of Diamonds?" Garenjazz asked Cliff.

"ARTHUR! NOW!" Alean shouted and broadcasted a signal that was not masked but was able to be sent into the place outside.

Arthur heard it and gave commands.

WARP! WARP! WARP!

Several small objects suddenly teleported in front of Alean.

It looked like a small chunks of dimaonds. Alean caught one and loaded it as a bullet and took aim.

Garenjazz raised his eyebrows. There was nothing dangerous about the magazine. It looked like an ordinary bullet and it did not have any of the other identified weaponized Path.

Cliff smiled as he realized what it was.

"I don't have a Five of Diamond! But I have the Hope Diamond! A weapon made from Vender's cells! Go Fish!" Cliff laughed as he quickly connected the dots of Arthur's plan.

BANG!

Alean shot a bullet and the bullet struck the second hoop that was spinning.

And for a brief moment, all of its luck was lost!
