Seeker entered the large room to test it. The specifications he required were not very hard to make, and so the WGP was able to immediately craft the metal pole that was now placed inside the room. Origin energy was being placed inside, and Seeker continued to test it. With the rich Origin energy, Seeker was able to perform several techniques that triggered the Origin energy.

Seeker tried telekinesis of various forms and even began to activate the sound that he created and tried to make it ride the wave of the Origin energy and created a force weaker than Richie's Peals of Thunder. By harnessing the coldness in his body that contained cold fusion, Seeker was able to make tiny crystals of ice in the Origin around him.

The Emperors and Empresses were amazed at the various things he created.

"And all of that... is not using the gear he wears?" One of the Emperors asked Cliff who was nearby.

"No. Later he will show you the same thing but without any gears. He'll probably be doing that in his underwear. But as discussed, you guys have to pretend that whatever Seeker is doing is acceptable."

"If we do that, won't our enemies attack us in full force? We'd be sitting ducks if they come at us!"

"It is a gamble. But the odds are in our favor. We have someone who can practically predict the direction the future is going. And with that, he arranged things to be leaning to our advantage. Even though that Presider wasn't in his prediction, it should only help us."

"What are the specifics?"

"I don't know. I only sound smart if I say something that is within my memories. If not, I'm dumb as a rock." Cliff laughed at himself.

"Then what do you know? What can you tell us about this plan?" Another Emperor asked.

"Well, the general plan is to make the Presiders think that their enemy is a traitor within their ranks. If that's the case, no one would recklessly try to attack. They will try to investigate, build their foundations before fighting. Based on what we have noticed, the warfare and strategies of the Presider are different from us. Their techs are very diverse, so we don't know how they could infiltrate our ranks. You guys were practically untouched because these Presiders would expend some effort that would be costly for them. So until now, only those at the level of Pioneers attempted to invade you. But right now, with all of them Presiders, we really can't trust anyone. And so, the best way is to make themselves doubt each other. That way, efforts will be made to figure out 'which Presider' we are allied with and would always act cautiously. Our purpose is to buy more time."

"So, in conclusion, right now, if we present ourselves as strong, it would make the Presiders hesitate to attack us."

"Yeah. I should have explained it that way... But that's how it is. The plan is to get them to fight each other, and by the time that they realized they'd been duped, we'd already had a great advantage over them. We might have the chance to fight back. Of course, along the way, the things that Seeker will do will only get worse. That's why Seeker and his team are headed to South America. Although they would probably not end up in some big fight, this is the most dangerous mission that they are taking part in."

"And this phallic tech joke? This will be used to make them go after a wild goose chase?" 

"A diversion. The Presiders will soon find out about the technology that you have. The goal is to make them change their focus. Instead of Thrones, they will look for... well.. those poles."

"Then why are we going to the trouble to create that strange ritual that he suggested?"

"To confuse the Presiders, of course. They will see Seeker walk in, naked, and after going through some weird cult worship, he'll gain powers. This is also in line with one of the past lies we planted on one of the Presiders we met. We made it look like... well, we're Satan."

"Satan?" Several Emperors chorused.

"Yep. It's a long story. Satan and a succubus. It's also one of the reasons why we are confident that Presiders will soon betray each other. One already did and acted. A few more ought to be in the process of attacking others. And we'll be adding more confusion to this. So which is why we need the whole weird ritual thing and those pole dancers." Cliff pointed at the many ritual dancers who would later dance while Seeker performed his magic.

"..." The Emperors had their mouths opened at the choice of words that Cliff used.

"Ri-Right. The Pole Dancers."

"Anyway, we'll be in position. As you know, this plan to impress and strike doubt and fear into the hearts of these Presiders involves an exhibition battle against them. Zeek and the group will be fighting, and I'm in charge of observing and warning them of the battlefield. I think Zeek should be unveiling the weakened Exoskeletons we prepared. See you around." Cliff moved out and went to his position.

The submarine that held Lara and Alexander was finally docking in the World Governing Trade Hub.

The region, which was formerly known as Hawaii, was now a hub of underwater trades. It had the largest known underwater fortress aside from the Worlds Helm. 

"Impressive." Zeraphine praised as she looked at the view.

The entire horizon had the underwater fortresses on sight.

"The underwater fortress that is said to be unsinkable. No wonder the humans used this place to be the trading hub." Lanterk commended.

"Your language and words are careless." Zeraphine frowned.

"But, do we need to be careful? If you said that a Presider is here, then who cares what we say!" Lanterk complained.

"Just... ugh! You're such an idiot! What if that Harker hears what you say and conclude your real identity! You'll be forced to pay him another foundational science!" Zeraphine cursed.

"Oh... Alright! I'll listen to you. But no more slapping! The next time you slap me, I'll fight back!" Lanterk threatened.

Both Presiders were thinking of different things after this, and soon, they began to move to the departure area of the ship.

Zeraphine met Charm along the way, and the two went in pairs, with Lanterk being the third wheel.

"Good to see you again, Alexander. The entire sub is talking about you. They are complaining how a foreign family got into this sub." Charm giggled.

"Haven't heard of Lanterk, though."

Lara gave Charm a meaningful smile.

"I know, I know. I don't have a choice, Lara. My parents are pressuring me to ask about that name and use my friendship with you to get more info and all that crap. We haven't found any Lanterk family."

"Obviously, it's a lie. Why would I say Lanter's real family name? But I'll whisper it to you now." Lara smiled.

Charm was shocked at Lara's sudden decision and hadn't processed everything when Lara was already whispering in her ear.

At that moment, the various families were casually walking around but were secretly using many techs to spy on what Zeraphine was saying.

"Small Willy?" Charm asked with a confused voice.

"His family name... is Small Willy.

Lara was laughing.

Lanterk felt like he wanted to skin Lara alive but could only give her a glare.

"Sorry, Charm. I, too, have my responsibilities."

Suddenly, an announcement was made.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Because of... recent developments, the Progenitor, in partnership with General Harker, the Light of Pangea presents, the powerful future soldiers of the world!"

A large display was shown at the area where everyone was gathered, and it displayed the sea before them.

"Together with the WGP, an alliance that will cause us to have no fear of this Lost Primordial is made! These future soldiers are not unknown individuals. They have conquered the world of gaming, but with the techs we have, we brought to life the skill and power they have shown in the gaming world. Behold, Pangea's secret soldiers, The Red, the Blue, and the Yellow!" 

Three Exoskeletons blasted out of one of the ports, and they had a very bright and strange Exoskeleton design.

"To provide you with such entertainment, we are asking all families to send at least three or four representatives to pilot an exoskeleton and attempt to shoot down these three! You may use the Exoskeletons that you brought, provided that you only use bullets. Details of what weapons you may or may not use will be presented on these screens." 

Everyone was stunned at the announcement.

"Anyone who manages to hit any of these three soldiers will be gifted with Alexander Lanterk's tech. -Oh? His real name is what? Seriously? Alright. Correction, that's Alexander ... erm... Sma-Small Willy."

The room erupted in laughter.

"See? He is listening." Lara laughed at Lanterk, who was burning red in anger.

"If mister... Sma- erm... Alexander manages to hit any of these three. He won't need to offer that tech. This is the Progenitor's instruction."

Lanterk's previous angry expression changed as he was surprised.

"He's messing with you. Be careful." Lara whispered as she tapped his shoulder and pulled Charm away as she began to move towards the armory to outfit an Exoskeleton the Diamon's brought.

"Mister... Alexander. Since the Progenitor forced you to reveal your family name, he said that you could use one of our Exoskeleton." Jane appeared at the side.

Lanterk turned over and gave Jane a strong glare. Although this girl did nothing, she was the person who lowered Lanterk's guard, creating the painful scene earlier.

"I'm sorry for what I did earlier. I tried to stop those two." Jane gave Alexander a strange look in return.

Lanterk maintained his glare as Jane looked at him.

"Please accept my courtesy. But don't smear the pride of my family. I am a Dalisay. And Dalisay's are... well... We're bigger." She sneered.

Lanterk turned and avoided her eyes but vowed that he would kill this person soon.

"Just get me to your stupid armory."

Lanterk followed and ignored Jane and the other Dalisay's who tried to open a conversation with him. Another member of the Dalisay was extremely embarrassed and kept apologizing for what Jane did and said.

"Please apologize, Miss Jane! I'm sorry, mister Lanterk, but this Jane does not represent the will of the Dalisay family. She is not even a Dalisay by blood! Jane!"

"No way, I'm apologizing. I already revealed my tech and tried to stop the fight, but this arrogant little brat is being ungrateful!"

"He's a child!" The other man secretly whispered on Jane.

"Well, he is pretty cute with his innocent eyes. He's like a cute little animal. Like a goat! I guess I'll call you Alexander the Kid." Jane smiled.

Lanterk nearly froze as he heard that but kept on moving.

"Such a cute little kid! How many horns do you have now, little goat? Are you going to grow four horns when you grow up?" Jane asked playfully.

Lanterk turned around to look at Jane angrily. It was the first time that Lanterk felt threatened in a long time.

"That's it! Jane, you are officially relieved of your duties!" The Dalisay next to Jane erupted.

"Oh, shut up. I never really pointed it out, but check the shares that President Gardo assigned to me. I outrank you." Jane laughed and ignored the man.

"You...!" The Dalisay next to her shouted angrily.

"Guards. Take him away." Jane ignored the angry Dalisy, who was now escorted out by some of the guards following her.

The group walked and soon reached the armory.

"Guards, I will change. So please don't follow us inside."

"But! Miss Jane! The kid!"

"This little goat can't harm me. If you hear a loud bang, then ready to clean up the gore, I leave behind from blowing up this kid." Jane raised her fist, which began to glow red.

"Ye-Yes, Miss!" The guards all nodded.

Jane opened the hatch leading to the armory, and Lanterk followed.

As the doors were shut, Lanterk used a strange tech to block all vibrations.

"You better tell me who you are, or I'll kill you now.." Lanterk threatened.
