Chapter 405 - Miniscule World

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Richie and the four exoskeletons didn't just disappear like the conventional method. But rather, the space around them was shrunk.

Unlike the many superhero characters that could minimize and enlarge themselves through quantum technology, the four supreme Exoskeletons didn't just shrink or compress themselves, but it was the entire area around them that shrank.

It was a strange scene because the shrinking of that area forced all the other objects and space nearby to fill in the missing void. Because of the shrinking, the place that remained unshrunk looked like it was a badly edited photo where the landscape and nearby objects were stretched in an attempt to connect a large missing gap.

The startling scene stunned Sammy for several seconds.

But he then shook his head.

The walls had breached a massive part of the inside of the ship. Some parts on the lower and upper levels were also damaged, and it was even possible to scale two levels up or down because of the damage.

But even with such significant damage, Sammy grew worried.

"The boss is this weak now?" He had seen the powerful attacks of Richie before and could tell how weak it had become.

"They are Overcomers." Sammy consoled himself as he went on to perform the mission he was in. He had also given himself some light wounds but began to help those trapped or hurt from the destruction.

He began to use his ability to listen in an attempt to locate the nearest place where he could access a computer terminal. At the same time, he was listening to the reports to look for anyone with clearance to access computers.

Richie was amazed at the scene where he was. It didn't make sense. While the space shrunk, his body and the bodies of the Supreme Exoskeletons were far smaller than the actual space around them.

The area where he was standing disappeared, and he began to float around as if he was in space.

The entire assault created tremendous pressure on his body, but he managed to withstand it with a little help from his sound.

It was not possible for Richie to breathe in his current state. But being unable to breathe and having an ample supply of oxygen was one of the most essential things that the Unlocked had to unlock.

Richie observed the four figures who were watching curiously at him. Even though Richie wasn't wearing any advanced suit but only had casual clothes and a comical eagle mask on his face, Richie was not bothered by the new environment.

"You survived..." One of the pilots commended.

"As expected of a Presider. Or are you just like us, an Elite Pioneer?"

"I am the great Eagle Man." Richie chuckled.

"How did you survive the compression of space without wearing an Exoskeleton armor? And how are you still breathing?"

"But I have an armor. I'm wearing a Phallic Suit."

"... A Phallic suit?"

The others also looked at each other.

"Is he making a vulgar joke?" One asked.

"Oh. It's a Phalium suit. Sorry. I always get all mixed up with my memories in this place." Richie chuckled.

"What's a Phalium suit?"

"You don't have one...? No wonder you guys stuck with Supreme Exoskeleton armors. This body you see before you is a Phalium suit. An inferior but affordable armor based on the Nefilus suit that Presiders wear. I'm pretty sure Presider Shakstress has some. You guys are just not worthy for it." Richie chuckled.

"What?!" The four exclaimed. It was the first time they've heard of such armor. The group didn't dare ask or talk to each other. Even if such a suit existed, they had no right to question Presider Shakstress.

"In any case. You guys will make a great warm-up before the Phallic bearers of Shakstress arrive. I'm surprised she sent you Supreme Exoskeletons instead of them." Richie laughed.

"Phallic bearers?"

"I meant Phalium. I said Phalium."

"No, you clearly said Phallic."

"No, I didn't! You guys are disgusting. Let's start the warm-up, shall we?"

"Warm-up? Can you even move in this Miniscule World?"

"Oh? So it IS a small world after all?"

"Let's see if you can still make these smart quips soon."

The four began to blast forward towards Richie and began to shoot various beams and blasts.

Richie smiled. One of the major priorities everyone was pursuing since the battle in the Kraken was to mold their bodies into a state that they could fight on all possible forms of dimensional alterations.

When each Overcomer went through the teleportation test, Richie was wounded so much that he nearly died. Rai had to pick up all his severed limbs. Even his instincts couldn't protect him because he could not sense or feel the dangers in a realm where his instincts and vibrations were not functioning normally.

But because of that, Richie was very serious in training.

Compared to his training on moving and trying to sustain the Dimensional Distortion world that the Realm King and the Void Assassin made, this world was easy. He even trained like mad in one of the Gravity rooms that they created through Pastor Eagle's path harnessing.

"If only they managed to miniaturize and weaponize Pastor's techs. This battle would have been so easy." Richie sighed.

The attacks arrived, and Richie made simple swaying motions to evade the attack.

This small action stunned them. They believed that whatever the Phallium suit was, it would be able to help him communicate with them through basic transmitters. But moving just as Richie did was far more difficult. In this minuscule world, moving required advanced sciences. Space was corrupted in the compression.

But Richie had been using various dimensional techs given to the Unlock to train in various environments since they would soon fight Presiders.

"You know, teleportation involves a bit of shrinking and compressing space. At least, the one that I experienced." Richie laughed but watched and began to harness the energy as the Supreme Exoskeletons began to fire a volley.

The first few shots were to test Richie's movements. But now, the exoskeletons were going for the kill.

Richie smiled.

The incoming lasers suddenly stopped as a strange force repelled it. It was as if a force field was formed from the vibrations of space. Richie, having shrunk to such a point, shouldn't have the ability to produce it. But Richie managed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The blasts occurred nearby, but the attacks couldn't break through the invisible force fields that were happening.

"Force fields? How?" One of the pilots exclaimed.

"Impossible! He shouldn't be able to do that here!" Another began to shoot out an even more powerful blasts of attacks.

"He must also know Miniscule science!"

"No! We would have sensed it! Are you telling me that Presider Shakstress is only second to someone in this science?!"

"I could hear you, you now." Riche laughed.

The pilots were stunned.

"I don't know the science, but it's your fault! In this place where size is warped, it's very easy for me to harness sound!" Richie chuckled.

Outside of this world, Shakstress observed the battle.

"So it is sound technology. Even though space was shrunk, he could create his own sound or wield compressed molecules. But how is he able to create sound directly proportionate to his size?" Shakstress observed.

Richie kept the shield up and quickly reinforced it as the matter that made up this force field was ding out. Richie gave a low hum, and the force field was starting to grow bigger and bigger.

"I wonder why the sound I make is still directly proportional to my size here... Hrm... if I ask Lennox or the Realm King about this, I'd probably fall asleep from the explanation. Oh well. If it works, it works. I guess I can normally fight here." Richie chuckled.

The Exoskeletons began to switch their attacks. Instead of a continuous barrage of small beams, the four began to use several large ones.

Richie saw the change of attack.

"So the Presider is watching, huh. And just when Arthur told me to keep it low profile. Sorry, Arthy. I might have to go a little all out.

Richie discerned that they were following orders as all suddenly switched their means of attack without communicating with each other.

"Walls of Jericho!" Richie roared.

A large wall appeared, but space began to tremble as some parts expanded and others were shrinking.

The large beams suddenly erupted as it struck the walls of Jericho, but as it exploded, smaller beams appeared and shot through the expanding and shrinking location and somehow bypassed Richie's Wall of Jericho.

Richie rushed forward to meet the rain of lasers and began to evade the high-speed blasts.

"Nice. I'm faster here! I can finally move according to the speed of my perception!"

The multiple beams were easily dodged, and Richie even began to enjoy himself as he experimented on his movements.

The speed of each of his movements kept on increasing as Richie started to understand the limitations of the new physical capacities of his body in the strange new realm.

"His moving even faster! How is this possible?!"

"I don't feel any fluctuations from him! How is he even able to move in this world?"

Richie began to take a few steps forward.

As Richie took a step, it was as if something appeared on his feet, and he blasted forward. The shield appeared in front of him, and he kept dodging around the place as more parts of the space became distorted.

"This place is amazing! If I get those suits, maybe I can find science that will help me move faster!" Richie laughed as he charged forward.

Each of his steps allowed him to move more than a kilometer in a fraction of a second, and he kept evading the attacks.

The supreme Exoskeletons started to retreat.

"Too bad you boys have all your techs focused on being able to function here. You can't do anything else other than fly, shoot and aim, right?" Richie laughed.

"How are you doing this?!" One of the pilots shouted back.

"Let me ask you something in return... Can you poop in this realm? I mean, our bodies have shrunk. What happens when we poop?"

"What?" The fleeing exoskeleton asked back.

"Right. Sorry. That was a strange thing to ask. I was just curious." Richie laughed.

He took a step forward, and Richie suddenly increased his speed, and a powerful vibration met the fleeing exoskeleton causing great friction and traction that was slowing the exoskeleton's speed.

"One down!" Richie laughed.

But just as Richie was about to punch out, the exoskeleton disappeared.

"Oh?"

BOOM! BOOM!

Several attacks landed on the shields that Richie quickly created. The large beams still broke down into smaller ones, and Richie evaded them again.

"How did he detect that attack?!" the exoskeleton pilot cursed as he appeared a kilometer away. The attack was invisible. When Richie chased the first one, the others used a certain technology to conceal them in this space. They followed Richie and waited for him to make a big attack.

Richie was frowning

"Oh. So you guys can do more than just move around. That was like teleportation and cloak!" Richie turned towards the empty space where the Supreme Exoskeleton he was chasing appeared.

"We'll kill you with the next attack!' The exoskeleton cursed.

The four exoskeletons suddenly disappeared as the space around them became unstable.

Richie was unable to spot the locations of each four as they somehow made the space around them fluctuating. In the radius of Richie's standing, several layers of space were expanding, while another layer wasn't.

"Hrm... This is difficult." Richie frowned.

"It's like I'm in some abstract painting." Richie closed his eyes. He could no longer trust his eyesight. One inch from Richie's skin was expanding. The next inch remained the same. The next was shrinking.

The distortion made it hard for him to sense sound.

"That Presider... she'll definitely pay for this..." Richie gritted his teeth as a hole in his shoulder appeared.

BANG!

A sound echoed out. But because of the space around them, the vibrations of sounds didn't work as they did.

Richie tried to dodge it, but the attack had still struck his shoulder.

"We hit him! Keep at it!" Another voice echoed out as one of the pilots cheered.

Meanwhile, watching from the unshrunk world, Shakstress continued to relay various instructions.

"I thought so. He's finished. Kill him." Shasktress relayed the last instruction before turning her attention to the screen.

"Now for those spies... Let's find them.." She smiled as she excitedly began to scour through all the data being presented to her.
