Chapter 572 Gathering Of Emperors
The video of the massive Orbital that merged at the edge of the solar system brought great alert to the world.
Many nations were debating whether they should pledge their alliance to the aliens that will appear. With the information being relayed from the Pioneers, it brought more fear across the world.
The Underworld's activities had surfaced and many things that it once did in secret came to light.
The need for human trafficking increased as many nations sought to buy Pioneers and Planteds that were captured after the revelation of their existence.
People were also gathering people across the world to serve as soldiers.
Assassinations, politically motivated attacks, rape, and murder became so rampant that almost everyone in the world would know of such crimes being committed by people they personally knew.
Eagle's ministries became targeted for spreading indoctrinating teaching that made the Lost Primordial depicted as an ally. Many supported the ministry of Calvin Luther Eagle and defended these leading to attacks from both sides.
Many nations began to collapse into anarchy and only a few nations remained stable.
The Americas and Canada remained as stable as before. And talks of unifying the two great nations were in place. The Rotting Lands had all of its regulations and rules lifted and all men were welcome to be recruited into a militarized superpower.
Other nations remained stable. The South Pacific Confederate, which compromised Pangea, SPU, and Australia, skyrocketed with the wealth they were already amassing. Massive mobile fortresses appeared and an army equipped with powerful Exoskeletons and several supremes appeared.
The powers that brought down Egypt and the many Presiders who fought there were equipped in the army and displayed powerful forms.
The Basilisk Squadron led by the chosen champion of the Lost Primordial, a simple drug dealer who now was one of the earth's mightiest defenders was promoted as its proud general and exploited his battles and how he used his power to break through an army of men through his immeasurable calculation skills.
The Confederates boasted how their men surpassed even the aliens in calculations and with that surpassed all.
Rumors of Lowengren being alive were also made known and that the battle in Australia was not against humans but the secret organizations of the Presiders.
It was also revealed that Israel had become the center of a surviving Presider. Massive infrastructures appeared in Israel and the ancient city of Babylon appeared.
A massive Babel stood at what everyone believed to be the Tower of Babel.
Greece was also rising to prominence and an alliance between the two Presiders was evident.
It was also presenting mega structures as gigantic floating fortresses that towered above the skies and made themselves part of the city.
Lanterk revealed himself to be a clone of a powerful Principal and threatened annihilation if Earth were to attack him or his ally.
Pridgeon also appeared and revealed himself to be among the Presiders who held control on Earth. At the flip of a switch, thousands of Pioneers and Planteds died on that day as Pridgeon utilized his connections and privileges to the Orbital back then.
With these powerful forces on the rise, the WGP was no longer feared and while it tried to reveal a show of force to scare the world, many nations even began to broadcast to space their desire to ally with the alien forces.
Recordings of the battle in Egypt that each nation had which provided details about the battle not released were also leaked and these were all broadcast to the coming Presiders as information.
This created a civil war as many nations still feared the forces on Earth and those who fought in Egypt that managed to defeat these Presiders.
The WGP convened to talk about this very same thing.
The Phoenix clan was proven to be allies of the Lost Primordial and were representatives that urged the WGP to fight against the coming threat.
A massive stadium where numerous Rules were seated was prepared. All Emperors and Empresses were present and every family was preparing for a Throne War to emerge in case the negotiations would lead to war.
The Many Mansions of the Phoenix clan had just docked and all of its members left.
"Traitor! You traitors!" Another Emperor shouted at the sight of them.
"You are allied to those murders! How many emperors have fallen to them!? Traitors of mankind?"
"Really? I am the traitor? We have information that you have been secretly making deals with a team of Pioneers that served a defeated Presider. We both are traitors in that definition. The difference is... The ones I sided with won!" Phoenix laughed and suddenly, everyone was starting to receive messages about all the deals and trades and how the Emperor who accused him made deals with groups that benefited various Presiders.
Everyone was alerted and saw the files and many Emperors were struck with fear by how detailed the report was! It even went back so many years ago!
"And you call us traitors, but when my daughter, Everhiss was lost in one of their clashes, you did nothing! You are the traitors! You cared not for your fellow Emperor because you were too scared! So tell me, who is the traitor?! Anyone else has accusations of how my family was traitors?" Phoenix laughed.
"Most of us didn't know about these aliens and you were the first to find out! And you-"
"And we took action. If we didn't these aliens would have taken control so long ago! But we'll present everything in the Seats of the World. Every secret will be presented and all of you who held on to certain beneficial deals to enrich yourself will be revealed. We also understand more about what these aliens want than all of you combined. You spoke to the lowest ranks. Planteds and Pioneers but we have captured Presiders. Do you know who approaches that Orbital? Do you know the basic techs they all have? Do you understand the great victory we've achieved by defeating Top-Tier Presiders? Do you even know what a Top Tier is?" Phoenix boasted.
"Sounds to me that you are a Presider and not a human!" Another Emperor accused.
Phoenix laughed and he tinkered with his device and everyone suddenly received files in their Comm Device.
It was a recording of the Emperor talking with his family members.
"We have no choice! Side with those Orbitals! Our entire family's wealth and fortune cannot fight against these aliens! Those on Earth may be siding with humanity, but what of it? We will lose against it! That ship is as huge as the moon! I say we side with the aliens!"
The recording shocked everyone.
The recording was from the perspective of one of the families of the Emperor. They could see the recording as if someone on their Rule was recording the entire conversation.
KZZT! KZZT!
Lightning energy appeared in one of the Rules and moved towards Phoenix.
"Presider techs are useful, aren't they? Be careful where you charge your Rule for its energy. Not every Origin energy that was being released at the destruction of those ships was useful. Some of them were energies released by the Lost Primordial. I have recordings from all of you! It's about time for us to destroy the smug confidence of Emperors and show the world how wicked, corrupt, and selfish we really are!" Phoenix laughed as he moved forward and no other Emperor stopped them in fear of what could happen to them.
Many panicked and rushed to make preparations fearing that their secrets would be made known to the world!
The Phoenix clan entered their chambers and within the room, the last of the delegates to begin another meeting several times more important than the meeting of the WGP was also starting.
All the top Ranked Heroes and exceptional Inhumans had gathered. There were many whose names were not known as they were forced to fight in the Underworld and had to put a stop to many other armies all over the world.
The Unlocked had many battles apart from the main fight. Each Overcomer had been funding their armies to fight in numerous battles across the world. Battles with underwater cities, clashes against the WGP and their Invoking, fights against Pioneers who had been vying for power in the chaos of the Shackstress's death and from other stolen Presider techs, and many more.
Apart from those who had been acquainted with Seeker, nine more Unranked individuals who had powerful Paths rose in these dangerous battles.
Two trained assassins reach a level of strength that allowed them to even beat some members of the Fang. These two were soldiers from the Meng family army. One among the vampires of Akasha became strong enough to create his skill and was accepted to have Ranked Hero strength. The number of Amir's Alpha werewolves also increased. There were two secret experiments of Lennox who was now among the group. The Realm King also found a man with powerful telepathic abilities and became his official disciple.
Lastly, the two kids sat among these heroes. They were the kids that should have died from the Plague of the First Born, and the very ones that Charles did his best to keep alive.
Meryl arrived and many heads turned toward her.
"So that's Meryl. One of the top ten of the so-called First Generation." A young man with a strange glove worn smiled.
"Kid. You have a long way to go if you want to compare yourself with Meryl." Force of the Fangs laughed as he heard this.
"Force, you're the one to talk." The man laughed. He had proven himself and won a match against two of the Fangs.
"Kid, you may be stronger than me, but don't think that any of Seeker's original team are anyone that you could easily mess with. You sprouts who suddenly rose up after the series of wars are too green to compare yourself to them." Force laughed.
WARP!
Seeker appeared out of thin air and his teleportation abilities surprised even the Void Assassin.
"Interesting."
"I was passing a different realm." Seeker smiled.
"The dream realm. I'll try to get there on my own." Rai vowed.
"If anyone can do it, it's you, Lillybeth." Lowengren laughed.
The doors opened and a beautiful woman walked inside.
The entire room was silent and was shocked at her beauty.
"I thought... we were assured that she won't use her powers, master..." The Realm King's disciple was a woman in her late twenties. She was deaf but now, her hearing was so great she could hear anything within one kilometer.
"She isn't using her powers, Brey." The Realm King smiled.
"You're mistaking her natural, raw, and beautiful form with her powers."
Brey was amazed at the beauty of the Tyrant Empress. Her eyes glanced across the room and smiled. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
"Alright. Let's start this."
Finally, the awaited keynote speaker for this 'conference' had arrived.
The man hovered towards the stage and glanced across the room full of Overcomers and Heroes.
"Let's begin this Bible study, with a word of prayer." Eagle smiled and bowed his head.
