Chapter 418 - Tricking Shakstress

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The moment Seeker and Lynd saw the energy, Lynd began to harness great energy that used powerful Desolation from Meng, the bright sun of Meryl, and the heat from Gardo's power.

But before he could attack...

"Lynd. Let's retreat!" Seeker gave a strange order.

"What?!" Lynd was shocked.

"Follow me!" Without any explanation, Seeker tore open a portal.

The moment Lynd saw it, he understood what Seeker planned. Why waste an attack when you can anger the enemy and evade it?

As Seeker and Lynd vanished, a certain Presider received that message.

Pridgeon saw the message and was startled. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Then, Shakstress sent him a message and confirmed who Lanterk was.

"This means... Those guys who attacked her... They were allied to Lanterk?" Pridgeon realized what was happening. He was used as a borrowed knife to get Shakstress to a fight. The fight made Shakstress so desperate that she even gave the broadcast to reveal to everyone who Lanterk was!

"That Kid with Four Horns will be targeted after this." Pridgeon gritted his teeth. He saw the battle below and how Andronze, who was now allied with mysterious men who had the power of wind and who earlier sliced a powerful attack that made the entire universe smaller.

"Are they... Lanterk's allies? Is Andronze part of that alliance?" Pridgeon was so confused.

He could see Hermes and the Four Winds move in and manage to defeat a Supreme Exoskeletons and several Sun Devourers in a momentary gap.

"Andronze!" Pridgeon shouted.

"Pridgeon?"

"Are you allied to Lanterk?"

"No! I didn't know about Lanterk, and these people are Presiders from the Future."

"Prove it."

"I know about cactuses, teas, biscuits... and that Shakstress is at Raisin cake level."

"... What?"

BOOM!

An explosion occurred, and Pridgeon felt a great trembling on the ship.

"Presider! Something attacked us! But we detect where it came from!"

"It's inside the ship. The explosion was so huge that it took out a huge compartment of this ship. Universe Energy. That attack was Universe Energy!" Pridgeon could sense it. He disconnected the call from Andronze immediately.

"How did that attack reach inside the ship? Is it outside of the dimensions? Impossible. My ship has enough space-altering science that not even Principals would not be capable of teleporting directly inside this place unless they are welcomed in! What happened?!" Pridgeon had no choice and rushed towards the source of the battle in his Throne.

The entire Moon disappeared as it moved into the fourth dimension.

Seeker and Lynd stood together as a massive hole was there beneath them.

"How cruel of you. After your speech which made her give that attack, you escape. Where did you teleport us, anyway?"

"Inside Pridgeon's ship. And it's not just the Universe Energy that I sent here and us." Seeker laughed.

The Throne of Shakstress suddenly appeared. It moved inside the portal and arrived right after Seeker and Lynd arrived.

But what was strange was that she appeared in her regular form.

Lynd then realized they were no longer in the Minuscule World but had reverted to their original size.

"You...! Where did you take me!?" Shakstress shouted.

"Should have escaped when you have the time, Shakstress. This is our ship! Fighting you in your ship is too dangerous as you can harness the full ability of your shrinking technology. But now, let's see you do it here!" Seeker laughed.

Shakstress saw the two disappear in a strange portal, and she harnessed the Universe energy and chased after them.

The portal made her see a strange dimension which even she couldn't understand. The concepts of Teleportation were so different that apart from the bending and molding of space, she could see several dimensions mixing with that passage. Because of that, she missed the attack, and the attack landed on the ship of Pridgeon, creating massive damage.

"Prima Donna! Get ready! We're teleporting for a sneak attack! Pri! Hurry up! Act now and give us a clear shot! We'll be waiting!" Seeker shouted as if talking to another person and a portal appeared in front of them, and they disappeared.

Shakstress gathered the Universe energy around her and prepared for a full-scale explosion.

"SHASKTRESS!" Pridgeon roared as he used the techs of his ship to warp reality once more.

"Pridgeon?! You?!" Shakstress then realized who Pri was. It made sense. Prima Donna. PreHistoric. And, of course, Pridgeon!

"DIE!" Shakstress roared. She began to release more of her technology. She believed that she fell for a grand trip led by the two who were used to lure her into a disadvantage merely. Most of her Universe Energy was with the ship. She was now in a desperate situation.

Pridgeon and Shakstress fought once more as two Thrones clashed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The massive battle occurred, and the ship of Pridgeon was sealing off the entire compartment and hastily sending all their forces nearby.

A powerful shield enveloped the region, altering the entire place as it was thrown closer and closer into the fourth dimension.

"This stupid and reckless science! Crostfree was an idiot! An ant among Top-Tiers!" Shakstress cursed as the world turned strange and dangerous. There was no stability in it, and it was random.

"Not an idiot! A genius! You can't use your shrink, right? This is why Crostfree only took the basic sciences. He just needs enough to distort this world and prohibit everyone else from using their Top-Tier powers! In this realm where your dimension science of shrinking can't work, you have to rely on your basic attacks or your Universe Energy! And Crostfree amplified the simple techs of battle! An ant? Well, so what if it's an ant when you have been brought inside this anthill?!"

Pridgeon then revealed lasers, rockets, and even shot bullets at Shakstress.

The whirling world, which was trying to merge two dimensions, held no stability that even shrinking the place went out of control.

While the battle continued...

Seeker and Lynd appeared in a certain room and immediately froze everyone with Realm.

"Quick... contain the Ranked Heroes body!" Seeker ordered.

The two quickly did as the radiation of their body was damaging everything and hurting the Pioneers nearby.

Lynd slowly contained the newly acquired power.

"Such a mystery this is..." Lynd marveled as the power disappeared.

"I am eternal but mortal at the same time. It's like those saints or immortals in Chinese cultivation that take the forms of mortal men. Right now, this current form is mortal and can die, but the form earlier was ageless!"

"More like a glorified body in mortal flesh. The hypostatic union of divine and mortal." Seeker finally contained the energy.

"Let's move." Seeker then ordered.

Lynd observed the room where Seeker teleported out of. It was one of the Compartment Command Center on the ship.

"Thankfully, that explosion that destroyed a lot of this ship has weakened the soundproof capability. We can easily detect sounds here."

"I think it's not the ship. We've also grown stronger." Lynd closed his eyes.

"The walls prevent sound and vibration from traveling. What a curious metal. And yet we are able to hear it through our Realm Somatotopy."

"We'll talk about it later. We have the opportunity of a lifetime! Not only is Arthur in Shakstress's ship gathering information, but we also managed to sneak into Pridgeon's ship."

"Ugh. How did we teleport here anyway?"

"Can't you guess?"

"I can't keep relying on Arthur's imitation. Besides, imitating a lot of people at the same time is very nauseating. Unless I awaken that Berserkers rage that helps me focus, I will have these very world-turning moments when I copy three or more people immediately."

"You have a Ranked Heroes Body now."

"Still the same. I have the body but not the head. Just tell me!"

"Alright. It was two things. One, because Shakstress shrunk us. And two, my Path of Passing Over. That moment made it possible to teleport anywhere. But did you see the strength of the Teleportation?"

"Of course, I did! You actually created a path towards that location! That's how the Universe Energy chased us all the way here!"

"So our theories weren't wrong. We just lacked energy. But we have to be careful. There's something quite unstable with this Ranked Heroes body... In any case, let's hurry. We have to take advantage of this time."

"You're calling her, aren't you?" Lynd asked.

"Naturally. How else are we going to turn this place upside down?" Seeker laughed and began to fiddle with the computers. With the information they had gathered from various Planteds and the captured Pioneers, the group had an idea of how to access the computers of the Aragarian and how to navigate through them.

"These Pioneers must have something similar to Harker's tools. Either that or Pridgeon was able to bribe them with future offers."

"Must be the latter. But even if they have a Programmed Slave device that makes them happy in serving Pridgeon, no desire can beat the allure and call of her." Seeker laughed.

"You try to send whatever information you can to Lowengren. Since he wasn't with Arthur in the ship, he ought to be with Vender making that annoying broadcast. You have one of Lennox's thought processes, right?"

"It's a half process. But I think it'll work." Lynd touched the computer, and an electrical current entered the database.

Lynd began to fiddle with the computers looking at cameras and other possible locations where they could go next.

"So the inventor of Linux is an Aragarian? But that makes the Aragarian already here on Earth before World War Three!" Lynd realized.

"I'm pretty sure it might just be some coincidence." Seeker frowned.

Seeker and Lynd started to work on several things. Lynd began to broadcast the information to a certain base.

Lowengren was receiving tons of information.

"Oh? This is Pridgeon's ship! How did they get there?" Lowengren wondered but happily began to download the information.

The data that was sent was already organized by the A.I That Lennox made. Although it wasn't sentient and could not be communicated with, it could follow certain commands.

Lowengren saw all the information and smiled.

"Interesting. The names of Mid-Tiers are here."

As the information was being sent, Seeker finally managed to create a long-distance link to a certain ship.

Seeker and Lynd didn't dare stay but simply sent a quick message and teleported away. None of the Aragarians were killed but were frozen through a strong telekinetic attack.

The moment Seeker and Lynd vanished, the Aragarians were able to move. Great fear had covered them, and some were even burning in pain from the severe radiation level that Seeker and Lynd brought into the room for several seconds.

But before the Aragarians could make any alert, the image of a beautiful woman appeared on the screen.

"What lovely gifts that Seeker sent me." The Tyrant Empress laughed as he watched the many Pioneers stunned at her beauty.

"Disobeying Presider Pridgeon is disobeying me. Therefore, serve him with all your might, but serve me and follow my will, should I command you. And I will visit you in your dreams.." The Tyrant Empress gave a seductive smile.
