Chapter 414 - Shakstress’s Special Skill

The power of Herme's wind bomb has never been tested. The Unlocked just didn't have the luxury of launching and deploying their weapons to test how huge the explosions would be.

But Hermes was confident that that weapon would be close to what the weapons of Mass destruction could offer. In terms of pure power, this weapon surpassed the weaponized tools that have been acquired from all the Unlocked.

Arthur and his team were also thrown back as a hurricane suddenly erupted out. But thankfully, the sound armor they wore began to pull them back just right after Arthur hit the home run.

After the last attack, Richie, Sammy, and Chase had already started their pull.

BOOM! BOOM!

The dome broke open, and the small hole that was made became the source of the ripping metal that revealed the Throne. The fierce wind began to charge out and wreaked havoc on the area, and a large, massive hole was right in the middle of the ship.

The explosion damaged so many compartments that it was unstable for the large ship to maintain the shrinking fields and reappeared in the skies once more.

Alvin and the other Winds had just finished the Macarena when the entire defensive protocol disappeared.

Andronze was amazed at the power.

"I can't believe that worked. Although Presider Fist Force must have done something, he is no match for that Presider. But thankfully, the Ritual Power that Principal gave us has been established in this world."

"Ritual Power?"

"As long as we do that dance, the dimensions tremble," Hermes said as Lowengren urged him to say.

Andronze's expression lit up. She was secretly smiling. She had recorded the entire dance routine.

"If I do that... then I have a chance in attacking Top Tier Presiders!" Andronze clenched her fist in excitement.

Pridgeon and Andronze didn't waste time and sent another barrage of attacks towards the ship.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ship was now being attacked, and with no clear defenses, the attacks from the Presiders revealed its weakened state.

The nearby nations began to attack the ship as was ordered by the WGP, who began to send their attacks.

Back inside the ship...

Arthur and Gardo were together with Sammy.

"Did we get her?" Gardo asked.

"No. We will see her final from now." Arthur instructed.

"I can't use my arm anymore. That attack took all that I have." Gardo began to eat a healing pill.

"Go and look for Chris and Grace. The healing ward is on the other side of this sector. Pick a dead Planted and wear his coat and go."

"Alright..." Gardo acted immediately.

"What's her final form?" Sammy asked.

"I don't know. Her techs go beyond what I can think or imagine. This battle is to train me to always calculate against incalculable." Arthur sighed.

"... How did you know that boss would survive that battle with those Supreme Exoskeletons?"

"I didn't. I just hoped he'd Overcome." Arthur glanced at the wreckage in the ship.

The entire area was wrecked and smashed into each other. Even the Throne could not be seen in the chaos of the collapsed floors and pressed metal.

BOOM! BOOM!

The attacks of Octarion could be heard in the distance as he kept on punching through walls of the ship and kept attacking Exoskeletons.

Oark and Cheryl moved into their next task. They rushed towards the Command Center and demanded to take control. They shot the current Commander of the Commander center, claiming that it was Shakstress's orders.

Those present were shivering in fear as they thought they would all be massacred. Those alive long enough to remember a previous war a century ago knew that this battle was different. Never before was Shakstress placed in such a situation in all the battles that she had.

Madison had finally reached the location that Arthur told him about. It was located deep within the most secure facilities of the ship. It was the Exoskeleton maker.

He revealed the comm device that all Overcomers have.

"I'm here. But what am I supposed to do? Does Arthur want me to wear a Supreme Exoskeleton? Or do I prepare one for Richie?" Madison guessed. Then a figure appeared before him.

"You...!" Madison exclaimed.

Richie and Chase Brender were retreating on the other side.

Chase carried an unconscious Richie as they moved.

"The boss is out. Punch man is also losing the power that he showed earlier. Is the enemy dead?"

A powerful energy source erupted at the center of the wreckage. Everyone felt a strange distortion as if they were being pulled towards the center.

"Oh. It looks like we're screwed." Chase sighed as he ran faster. His sounds were diminishing as he was drained of it. His attacks had reached the limit, and he had to employ a powerful sound armor to protect the both of them from the wind bomb. The steel beams and the wrecked pieces of metal suddenly flew up, and Chase had to evade it and resist the strange pull.

All the wreckage in the area began to move towards a certain point. As the metal and even the men approached, they shrunk and disappeared.

At the heart of this was Shakstress. She was still seated on her Throne. Her Exoskeleton and the Throne were damaged, but it was slowly being restored. Bit by bit, the damaged parts and were being restored molecule by molecule.

"Arthur... Should we attack?" Sammy asked as they fled.

"No. It's too dangerous. We can't see it, but the dimensions in that area are changing. The movements and how those objects shrink does not follow physics."

"It doesn't?"

"It's not obvious to you. But my Instant calculation can tell that even if a powerful gravitational force is pulling everything towards that Presider, the way the objects move beyond a certain area is strange. She's shrinking the dimensions. Even time itself is being shrunk. Only someone who can perceive time not slower but in a different and distorted direction can exist in that zone. So we are fighting something close to becoming a god." Arthur frowned.

"What if we attack?"

"See how everything is being used to restore it? That ability of hers is something that cannot be calculated. She shouldn't have the means to do that. So I'm guessing that what she is using is a Special Skill."

"What do you mean Special Skill? Like in games?"

"Yes. Exactly. Like the ones in games. The Nefilus Suit gives their physical body a way to contain and wield techs. What we are seeing is another aspect of what the Aragarians have through this Nefilus Suit apart from the information and tech knowledge. And that is to activate a specific protocol using certain techs. To make it easier for us, we're calling it a Special Skill. Shakstress may not know the science behind this or may have picked this Special Skill to learn about the science of shrinking... But right now, she is using a far stronger science that shrinks and absorbs all forms of matter. If we attack, we may end up helping her as the shrunk particles of our attacks will be used as a power source to refuel and strengthen her. Only the likes of Seeker, Lynd, Lioncourt, or Rai can move in that space. Of if we are equipped with a Supreme Exoskeleton made by Shakstress which can resist the shrinking of space."

"Then what do we do? Should we rush to that place where you sent Madison?"

"No. We do nothing."

"Nothing?! Shouldn't we at least be going over to that place where Madison was?"

"Sammy. Calm down. You're not thinking straight. I have already told you the answer. I said only Seeker and Lynd could move in. And they are here."

Shakstress watched and marked the enemies that attacked her. Her weapons were already aimed to attack and kill them.

"How annoying. To think I would fall into such a poor state because of a collaboration of Mid-Tiers. Once I'm done, I'll find out which Presiders are you, and I'll kill you!" Shakstress vowed.

"That's the thing. We're not Presiders." Someone mocked.

Shakstress was startled, and she turned around to find a Supreme Exoskeleton of her design standing nearby.

"I'm much more than a Presider. I'm a... Prehistoric." Seeker smiled.

"I'm also not a Presider. Right, Prehistoric?" Another voice was heard from afar.

Another man wearing Exoskeleton armor was moving right inside the strange zone but resisted the shrinking and absorbing of matter.

"Yes. That's right. I'm Prehistoric. And he's a... Prima Donna." Seeker chuckled.

Lynd was irritated at that comment.

"And we love men," Lynd added.

"Tell all the Top-Tiers. We love men." Lynd declared with conviction.

"If you're bringing me down, I'm taking you with me, Zeek!" Lynd laughed.

Shakstress remained calm. But intense anger was building up. She didn't act recklessly. The fact that one of the two managed to approach her. in a way that she failed to detect made her cautious. She checked the last detected energy around the area to see any specific changes in the environment near her. And there she saw it.

"Teleportation?" Shakstress didn't understand the way of using teleportation. It was unlike all forms of teleportation she had seen. 

"What a novel way to teleport. Which Top Tier Presider is this?" Shakstress frowned and used her technology to identify the form of Seeker.

"It's wearing my Supreme Exoskeleton?" Shakstress frowned.

"So you guys are the mastermind in all of this. And it seems that my ship is compromised. You two are wearing my Supreme Exoskeletons, after all."

"That's right, Shakstress. The previous fights were all to soften you up for our arrival. And the third one isn't wearing a Supreme Exoskeleton." Lynd pointed.

At the direction of where he pointed, Meryl was about to complete her charging.

She wore a Sun Devourer suit. To deceive Shakstress, Lynd used his powers to create a light source while Seeker wielded an Everbright Bomb's light based on Meryl's power. That made it look like the area had light and distracted her by talking. 

But in the perception of Arthur, everywhere but the center was succumbing to strange darkness.

"This is so cool. I'm like a Super Saiyan now!" She chuckled.

"HA!" Meryl shouted as she released the beam of light.
