Chapter 333 - A Meeting In The Mediterranean

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

It was a strange end to the negotiation.

Seeker could not help but look at the stalwart and peaceful person of Eagle. Seeker was actually prepared a great amount of energy to fight the Thrones of the Everhiss clan.

But Eagle just walked right in and preached and used some of his powers, and then the entire Everhiss clan was now their ally.

And much more than just being allies to people who were 'after the same thing,' the Everhiss clan had become believers. They believed in the message of the Cross and were driven by belief and obsession. Their zeal had been renewed, and their directions have been recalibrated.

Seeker watched as the terrifying form of mind-control occurred before him. The Emperors and Empresses were the same but different.

"You are now all, a New Creation! Though not at the level of Seeker who has attained the glorified body, your start of becoming a New Creation is in repentance and faith!" Eagle announced.

"Eagle wants them to have faith in me?" Seeker murmured.

"Zeek, why is Eagle here?" Lynd finally asked. They had burst into a three-part harmony acapella, and it was only now that they had a chance to talk.

"Arthur. He must have arranged this. He probably felt that I was lacking." Seeker sighed.

"I thought New Creation refers to the body of Cultivators. Why is he saying that the Emperors already have it?" Cliff asked.

"He wants them to have faith in me. That way, my cells will work on them faster. They have body enhancing techs that we don't have. Although the Unlocking is better, still, the Emperors and Empresses will have a more firm foundation compared to the body of most Families."

"Biblical pun intended?"

"No." Seeker shook his head.

You have tasted in the hope eternal and have abandoned your own self. But there is much to be done. Our battle is no longer of flesh and blood. These Aragarians have returned and are here to rebuild Babel. While our team is planning to create these places that will house the Believers, the enemy will try to trample and corrupt it." Eagle explained.

"Seeker Carlean is a messenger and Prophet from the future. I hope that while the tale of Seeker sounds like something straight from a sci-fi novel, the truth will explain itself. How else can a boy with no background know everything that we know? Has he not caused the world to move by the sheer works of his that doesn't seem interesting? He began as a streamer for Piercing! And if you believe that he is from the future, it's very easy to explain how he managed to take advantage of a game whose bugs have not yet been recorded!" Eagle continued to explain.

"But let us now hear from Seeker to detail what he knows." Eagle smiled and motioned for Seeker to take the stage.

"Did Arthur set you up for this?" Seeker asked as he passed by Eagle.

"Yes. He knew you were trying to avoid me. He had long sensed that while you knew religion would be used, you were unwilling to allow yourself to fall in it." Eagle laughed.

"Emperors and Empresses of the Everhiss Family. I will try to explain the details as clearly as I can. I will be providing you all our files and documents for this talk. But feel free to ask me anything."

"What did happen in the Kraken?" One of the Emperors immediately asked.

"How was the WGP defeated?" Another asked.

"In a very embarrassing manner." Empress Miranne Everhiss entered the room.

"Miranne!" Pheonix was glad to see her.

Next to her was Chase Brander, the WGP Commander.

But instead of anger and disdain, the Emperors and Empresses held their peace and smiled back at her.

Miranne suddenly froze. She glanced around and could see everyone seated peacefully, and some even had a look of regret, and their eyes begged for forgiveness.

"What happened?" She asked Seeker.

"Eagle. The one I told you about. You could pretty much say that your relationship with Chase Brander would have no opposition."

"What? How? What did he say?"

"I have no idea. Something about Psalms 82. Go figure." Seeker sighed.

Miranne then noticed Cliff and Lynd. These two were rather famous to all Unlocked as their exploits have all been recounted.

"What is he talking about?" She decided to ask these two, thinking Seeker was teasing her.

"Lady, we just walked in here and started singing Amazing Grace. We're as confused as you are." Lynd sighed.

"My daughter. We have seen the light. And we are sorry for the harm that we caused on you."

"You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good! If not for that act, the events in the Kraken could not have played off as it was!" Eagle smiled.

"Anyway… Before we get off-topic again… With Miranne here, I guess she can tell you what happened in the battle of Kraken. For now, I really have to start explaining everything." Seeker stepped forward.

"Agreed. Emperors and Empresses. Let us listen to this full tale." Phoenix told everyone.

It was there that Seeker began to recount his amazing tale from the start.

Meanwhile…

The sudden war that occurred in the Pacific ocean created a huge storm in the world. Various nations began to release threats and review the video footage of what happened in that battle. Many even accused the WGP of planning the entire thing to retrieve all sunken items in the ocean.

But this claim seemed faulty as various submarines were able to reach the World Governing Trading Hub. So these claims were immediately refuted by several nations and caused greater tensions.

And while these things continued to happen, various alternate routes were already being made to deliver the items all over the world.

In Europe, New Great Britain became the king. They created a powerful storm that continuously formed within their area and created various complications within the sea trade surrounding the North Atlantic Ocean.

The storm continued to pour out and even occupied parts of the European nations. The treaties that forced New Great Britain to comply with the weather they created for the surrounding enemy nations were no longer honored when the WGP fell. So most of Europe had suddenly suffered from unpredictable weather.

Although New Great Britain didn't initiate sending weather changes all over Europe, the constant acts of shaping the weather had created chaos and disorder in the region. Aside from New Great Britain who used their technology to stabilize their regions, the nearby nations were suffering from it.

The European Nation had already disbanded as the great changes that the past month has brought created conflict. Rome suddenly rose to power, and with the leadership of Octarion Caesar, the nation grew and reclaimed a part of the country that New Great Britain controlled.

Spain also rose to power, and the war escalated between Spain and one of the regions in Africa.

Attacks constantly bombarded the African nations. While attempts to maintain their unity emerged, the departure of various prominent Jewish Families yanked out from the region was causing it to lose great power.

There were also various spies occurring all over the continent, and nudist beaches were tied to acts of insurrections.

Because of this, various skirmishes and battles occurred in the region. And in that chaos, a certain meeting was made possible.

The Mediterranean sea has various independent artificial island cities that had resolved to remain neutral and became a trade point for these nations.

The artificial island had a lot of warehouses. As the city was mainly used to smuggle and transfer objects from one country to another, there were many abandoned and ignored warehouses in the area. Without the WGP, the area had turned into a warzone. Most of the residents had already fled to their respective countries on the mainland.

Traveling by ship was impossible, and flying over these seas was tantamount to suicide.

With such a situation set for these cities, it became the ideal place to meet.

Two people waited inside one of the warehouses. Water was rushing in everywhere from the heavy storm that bombarded the skies above.

Despite this very chaotic environment, the woman and the teen were having a rather delightful time relaxing.

"Any word from Magantae?" The young man asked.

"No. But relax. My Path is not wrong. It will just be on time. She'll lose her mind after realizing who we are and will run but will immediately be found by an ally." The woman laughed.

"You have to understand that I treat things logically. How do you even know she'll find an ally?"

"You? You treat things logically? You who entered the Caliphate region and waved that thing around like it was some sort of magic wand!"

"Deception still requires facts. But your Path of Zone is basically guesswork!"

"Look, Lowengren… I honestly don't know what will happen because of what we did! I just feel like it was right to leave her and her Commanders.

"It's not that… I just want to know what she would feel like after this. After all those lies and where we led her, I'm just curious what she will be doing when she realizes everything."

"You won't be there to see it. She probably will try to kill me, though." Alean laughed.

"I just wish I know what it is that will save Magantae and her Commanders from that trap we set up. You went a bit overboard, if you ask me. She'd be in a Kraken and have to face everyone around her."

"Oh, come on. They'll live! My Path is sure of it!" Alean assured.

"I hope Arthur will tell me what it is."

"It's an Emperor. An Emperor will save Magantae." Arthur suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Cloaking tech? Or was it teleportation?" Alean frowned.

"No. It felt like both. But Arthur passed through the floors!" Lowengren was amazed.

"We were able to replicate the Path of my experiment. But it only works on certain metals. This is used by combining my experiment, the Path of Rai and the foundational matter-altering tech." Arthur smiled.

"But I thought passing through the dimensions is very dangerous. Even Seeker gets all battered up!" Lowengren frowned.

"I think… I can teleport like that and be safe." Alean laughed.

"Alean could teleport and be safe indeed. Her Path could help her. This is why I have brought a spare of this tech for you. It's very hard to find Unlocked who can teleport. Right now, we only have three who can teleport without losing a limb or an organ. Rai, Alean, and me." Arthur revealed a thin smile. It was as if he couldn't hide the proud smile when he said this.

"You can calculate and use your Path in that dimension?!" Lowengren was shocked.

"Just because I hadn't been fighting doesn't mean my Path is stagnant. The more I pierce I can through the veil and see the future, the stronger I become. With this, I have experimented on myself and used teleportation as a means to pressure myself. With that, I easily reached Inhuman Proficient."

"Looks like we all have our paths to walk."

"Indeed. And right now, we have to strengthen it further. I need to learn Alean's Path, and Alean needs to have an environment where there are several conflicting Zones. Presiders have this. I have confirmed it during the battle of Crostfree. And so, our next mission will be assigning us to places where our respective Paths can grow.. And those places are South America and Egypt."
