Presider techs were designed to be capable of shooting a speck of dust a mile away, yet all of their attacks missed.
It wasn't just the size that was the problem. It was that their attacks or the space near the ship were being shrunk or expanded, causing the attacks to veer off.
The two Presiders began to shoot more and more attacks and even used strange attacks that had never before been seen.
Link Attacks were shot by Pridgeon wherein a laser-like attack would be 'created' in the space of where the targeted area was. However, instead of being shot, the attack is created almost instantaneously and is linked to the source of the attack.
These attacks didn't 'travel' from one place to the other but were created in the attack line.
But even as the sky suddenly created a pinkish ray of light and vanished at the next second, not a single one of those attacks struck.
Lowengren watched from the bottom and was amazed.
"That's new. That's not even present in Seeker's memories. It seems this strategy to make them fight is really advantageous!"
The minuscule ship of Shakstress had stabilized the density, mass, and power of her ship, and it retained all of its properties despite being so small. Its actual speed remained, which allowed it to maneuver through the many attacks. It also used the shrinking power to shrink parts of the incoming attacks.
Even the Link Attacks could not hit as the distortion of space made the created ray of light appear elsewhere.
Andronze was attacking from the other area and used massive wide laser attacks that beamed out.
But even these thick laser beams that would have struck the small speck of a ship of Shakstress would miss with the manipulation of the shrinking technology.
Shaklstress's ship manipulated a part of the large laser, made a small shrinking power in the center, and created a hole. With that gap, the spacecraft would move and evade with ease.
But suddenly...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A strange ripple exploded out, and the bombardment of Pridgeon and Andronze was finally hitting. The two Presiders have always been able to detect the possible location where Shakstress's minuscule ship was.
A powerful shockwave was created as a shield made of Universe Energy exploded and was followed by attacks of bluish energy balls that seemed to be sucking the space around it.
Pridgeon's ship began to counter it to block the attack while Andronze's ship blasted out and retreated with great haste.
Two massive shields were appearing in the sky. One was facing Andronze's ship, and the other was facing Pridgeon's spaceship.
The battle remained in Shakstress's favor even though the ship received several bombardments from the two sides in that split second.
Andornze was confused as to how it happened. But her suspicions made her turn to the Four Winds, who were once more dancing in a strange ritual dance.
"Heeee... Macarena." Alvin shouted again. But this time, the miracle of Andornze's attack hitting Shakstress's ship didn't happen as it did earlier.
"Oh? She's employing another tech?" Hermes had an intrigued expression.
Andornze was amazed. How were these strange dances the cause of her successful attack? She saw a strange trembling in space for a split second, which allowed her and Pridgeon's attack to strike.
"The power of prayer and rituals. So no wonder this practice has existed from time immemorial to our present world. Both the Aragarians and Humans do this. Could it be...? Because of this power?" Andronze began to wonder.
Suddenly, Herme's expression changed.
"Hmp. Finally. It took you long enough." Hermes laughed.
Andornze knew that Hermes wasn't talking to her. But she realized someone must have completed that strange ritual and communicated with Hermes.
"Andronze. A special comm line will be created linking us directly to the insides of Shakstress's ship."
"A link? But how?"
"What do you mean, but how? Didn't you see my friend punch his way inside? It's being taken care of. I want you to link that broadcast with one of the Pioneers I met. That annoying man will be talking." Hermes smiled.
"Annoying man?"
"You've heard him. It's a little trick we did. The problem with this little suit of ours is that it's effortless to detect once we fight against Top-Tiers. That's why we had to make you guys start the fight. As for this man, he has been given a tech by a Principal! We need to look for a man who rambles meaningless stuff. Thankfully, that Pioneer is perfect! With his words, and the technology is given, you will once more see the power of words."
"What tech is the power of words?"
"Don't you know? The power of words crosses the dimensions! That's the secret to cursing. Didn't that Lost Primordial teach the Zulu's in this place? One of the Zulu Aragarian spies of Pridgeon has allied with us. You probably talked to him back then. He is using a strange curse, and we will be deploying that curse directly inside Shakstress's ship." Hermes smiled.
"It seems those powerful ones within the WGP are moving as well." Hermes smiled.
Andronze was startled and began to look through her screen to see what was going on.
As the battle happened, Nogard was quietly retrieved by the WGP.
He sat down at the center of the large water monster and had a Rule of his own.
A large pillar of water was being launched from the ground. Inside the water was several rockets that followed the rising water.
A large pillar of water was moving like a rocket being launched. The pillar of water moved slenderly and began to swerve like a snake as it reached the chaotic skies.
The spatial distortions that Shakstress was releasing continued to pulse out throughout the area. The simple sky had turned into an elaborate maze that could dispel and destroy any form of earth-made technology.
But for some odd reason, the attacks were able to evade all spatial distortion that through and evaded the expansion and compression of the space.
Yet, it was able to do so without any problems.
The ship was too busy to take notice of it, and even Shakstress was not paying attention. The defense protocol of the vessel was activated almost immediately and was used to protect the ship.
The shields that were erected were activated several hundreds of meters from where the speck of dust that was the ship's body was. These shields moved and would guard the direction of where the ship was.
And so, the snake-swerving water was undetected.
Miranne Everhiss navigated the snake with expert power.
"Hold on to your aces until you think it's time to drop them all," Miranne recalled the only order that Arthur told him.
The week that had passed wasn't wasted. The WGP's tech is easily able to incorporate and apply many of the Unlocked techs.
The water was the navigating power that rode the Origin energy that the WGP had released. Richie's sound and Lioncourt's Realm were used to map the skies. The WGP's techs handled the rest in estimating, calculating, and setting the direction of the water-snakes movements.
"You sure you know where it is, old man?" Miranne asked.
"Of course." Nogard smiled.
"Her soul is just... too big." Nogard laughed as he marked the specific location where the speck of dust was.
The water snake raced faster and faster and collided with the near-invisible speck of dust.
As the water was enveloping this small dust, the rockets inside the water began to activate that protocol.
"It's a little crude... But it's still Hydrogen Bomb." Miranne smiled.
BOOM!
The thunderous explosion rocked out, and the ship was damaged once more as it had little shields that defended it.
Shakstress was enraged at the consecutive bombardments that were happening. Her control and power over the ship were being hindered, and those few seconds where she had to focus on defending allowed Octarion to rush out.
BOOM!
Octarion's suit boomed as he charged forward.
"Water World!" Richie shouted at a distance and activated the skill turned the vibrations and movements of molecules to have strange resistance as if they were underwater.
Shakstress was distracted and was a split second too slow to defend against the booming charge of Octarion.
BOOM!
The punch created a powerful shockwave that tore the insides of the ship. It was as if a Pangrean Whiplash bomb was detonated inside the ship.
The Throne of Shakstress was knocked back, and it broke through two walls before being pinned on the third one.
Octarion was about to rush again, but he heard Richie order him to retreat.
"Wait for everyone! That's not something you can fight alone!" Richie warned.
"I'll kill you!" Shakstress raged, and her Throne opened up to reveal herself and to aim.
And then... it happened.
Madison, Oark, and Cheryl had successfully infiltrated a certain broadcast room and linked it to Andronze's Pyramid, which allowed Hermes to connect the link to Lowengren, who gave the mic over to 'that' man.
"I'm Backman." The domineering, confident, and annoying voice of Vender was broadcasted all over the ship.
BANG!
Shakstress shot a simple bullet. But this bullet grew so small that it disappeared.
BOOM!
A sound explosion knocked Octarion to the side, and the sudden broadcast of Vender stunned Shakstress that in that critical moment, she lost her focus and didn't navigate the bullet to curve but managed to detonate it.
The bullet was so small that it managed to pass through the thick defenses of metal armor Octarion wore. But it suddenly grew and exploded, wounding the left shoulder of Octarion.
Octarion continued to retreat, and Shakstress was about to shoot more.
But Shakstress heard it again. There was something about that voice that ruined her concentration.
"Testing. Is this thing on? Hello? Is this thing on? Erm... Lowen- Er... I mean... Low and Green. Initiate Protocol, Low and Green. Jeez. Relax! I'm not even connected yet!" Vender grumbled in annoyance.
"What do you mean, I'm connected? Do you think I won't know if I'm connected? Relax, will you! No one's going to find out that you're- Oh! Alright! Sheesh! I won't say your name. For someone who has the potential to be an Overcomer, you sure are scared. Of course, she can't hear me! What was her name again, Shakstress, right? Or was it Androgyn? Why do these- What? I AM connected?"
And then there was silence.
"..."
"..."
"What? Are you sure? They can hear me?"
Lowengren, Hermes, and his Four Winds, who talked to Vender on their side, were so close from suffering a heart attack.
