It was a crazy and reckless plan. Should Jake be discovered, he would definitely be killed.
But the Overcomers knew that every battle they had to face would be risky gambles at every step.
Seeker brought an impressive amount of Path users to achieve the attack.
Alean became the Commanding General, stood at the submarine, and maintained a certain distance.
She watched the feeds of all fighters and began to deliver orders.
"Twelve Disciples, Basilisk and Gryphon Squadrons, Void Assassins. All hold. Wait for the clash and move out when I tell you. Covenant, maintain distance from the back of Seeker. Charge out when I tell you!" Alean ordered.
Seeker, Cliff, and Lynd were at the front lines.
The multitudes of attacks in the form of lasers, torpedoes, and other underwater weapons such as mortars and bullets were launched. The attacks all occurred together began to cover the entire view of Seeker's team. The ship of Lanterk had extended out so that all that Seeker and his team could see was a massive wall extending horizontally and vertically. But now, it was as if a swarm of attacks was headed for them with dull grey objects of different sizes and some beams moving together.
"Block or evade?" Lynd asked as he saw the sight.
"Evade. Covenant, retreat a kilometer back and block, deflect and destroy any bullets that reach you!" Alean ordered.
"Block that?!" Dara was horrified. She could see the thick layer of attacks being made and knew that even with her abilities, she wouldn't be able to block it.
"Calm down!" Kristine ordered.
"Trust Alean! If she says block, then she knows that the attack is going to be something that we can block!"
Dara felt the calming power and was no longer intimidated by what she saw. Even when they were E-Sport players, Kristine has always managed to calm everyone down, and it was only then that Dara knew how important she was in these critical moments.
Danny and the rest made their retreat and wondered how Seeker and the group would evade such an attack.
"On me, Cliff! Lynd!" Seeker immediately extended his realm out to envelop his nearby allies.
The power of the Passover began to form around him, and it merged with the realms of everyone. The Path of Cliff and the Path of Lynd synched perfectly, and the waters themselves began to glow.
Slowly, the three began to achieve Unity, and the power of their Realm erupted outwards.
With Seeker at the core and helming the unification, Seeker activated Madison's Skill. And while it hadn't stopped in their perception, it became another fold slower than the peak slowness of how they perceived.
The group moved, and with the added slowness of time, they managed to evade and dodge every single one of the attacks.
The torpedoes began to explode out, but the group kept moving further and further inside the rain of attacks.
Five seconds have passed since they dove into the attack, but it had already been over a minute to these four.
Lanterk wasn't surprised or worried. He had already decided that the Progenitor was, at the very least, a Top Tier, and something so trivial as this was easy for them. But Lanterk was confused.
"Why are they evading it? Could it be that the Progenitor is a glass cannon?" Lanterk wondered and began to activate his magnetic powers.
The Universe Energy around the entire ship began to glow, and Seeker and his allies could sense something similar to Realm in it.
"He can control all this?!" Meryl was amazed.
And it happened.
The bullets and torpedoes began to move off course, and some would even make a sudden stop and move in the opposite direction it was traveling.
As Seeker and his team were right inside the swarm of attacks, evasion was no longer possible.
Even with their perception, it was just too many.
But suddenly, the four disappeared right as the swarm of bullets and torpedoes crushed them.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The explosions rocked out, but Lanterk was frowning. He could see them even though Seeker was surrounded by all those steel as Lanterk's eyes were in every bullet! The four disappeared instantly right as all those metals were about to touch them.
Seeker and the others just appeared a few meters from where all the steel compressed itself. There were no portals, no energy fluctuations, or any other peculiarities. They were just suddenly there.
The metals constantly chased them, and the group was teleporting at the most crucial part at each step.
The Covenant was busy defending the remnants of the attack. However, Alean was right in her orders as the focus of the bombardment was on Seeker.
"Keep at it!" Alean ordered.
Seeker and the group began to move and even shoot forward with their beams to stop and destroy the approaching attacks.
They began to teleport faster and faster as the bullets and attacks were careful not to create a crunch but would stop hitting each other at the last moment and would chase Seeker and his team wherever they would appear. The bullets and detonations of the torpedoes were happening faster and faster as Lanterk was quickly able to catch up with them even with their greatly enhanced perception of time.
"Looks like I will draw first blood." Lanterk sneered as it was no longer possible for them to evade.
"Block now!" Alean suddenly changed orders at the fourth teleportation that allowed them to escape.
Meryl took over the formation of Unified Path and erupted her bright light. Seeker, Lynd, and Cliff became conduits and assisted the channeling of bright light.
A bright ball of white flame exploded right in the ocean and either destroyed or eliminated the nearby metals.
"Useless effort! This game of cat and mouse ends now!" Lanterk began to use his Universe Energy, and it flickered out on even metal that Lanterk controlled.
The approaching pieces of metal and steel that were ammunition and torpedoes began to combine. It was as if Lanterk could control the very form of the metal and shape them at will.
The sudden change of matter amazed Seeker.
"This is Dimensional Upholding! He managed to uphold form in the dimensions beyond! This is a power even above Top-Tier Presiders!" Seeker was amazed.
"It's very limited, though. Lanterk can only do a very small percentage of this power. It's not Principal level!" Lynd added.
"Yeah. Amazing. but can we focus on not getting killed here?" Meryl frowned.
The power that surpassed a Top-Tier could easily alter the form of an object on the three dimensions and on several dimensions beyond.
The metals changed and became a strong spear that could resist the hottest heat and could stand firm from the strongest pressure and impact. Its every element had changed, and its power could pierce through the dimensions beyond the third.
STAB!
The spear stabbed through and Lanterk was shocked.
"What?! That spear should have hit them even if they teleport! What dimensions were they moving on to?!" Lanterk exclaimed. He felt that his spear touched nothing. Right before the spear touched them, the same displacement and quick teleportation occurred at the last moment. But even though this spear existed in multiple dimensions and would have damaged objects or beings passing through these dimensions, he still missed it.
"Where are they?!" Lanterk cursed and began to search for the entire battlefield and found that the four of them had split up!
Four powerful shockwaves clapped out as the four teleported to different locations. The power of Richie's thunder attacked the bullets, and the four charged even further.
"Everyone! Move out! Void Assassins teleport into the deepest part as you can and bring the Ice twins!" Alean ordered, and everyone followed.
Lanterk didn't have time to dwell on the impossible evasion. Instead, he could see the far ships deploy their forces, and Seeker and his team were getting closer and closer to his ship! And so, Lanterk harnessed an even greater power, and the Universe energy began to give off a red glow that shined out of all the metals that Lanterk owned.
"If a single spear will miss, then what about a rain of bullets!" So the mad Lanterk harnessed great energy and went for the kill.
But as he carefully navigated the bullets...
"Now!" Alean ordered.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Four extremely bright lights erupted on the four different locations of the battlefield.
"Trying to blind me? Please. Those lights are annoying, but I don't really see as traditional people see!" Lanterk laughed and kept navigating his bullets and made his attack.
"Don't make me use my powers! Lanterk!" Seeker roared, and the waters around him began to spin like a shield and were enhanced by Richie's thunders.
TING! TING! TING! TING!
The sound and water shield that Seeker created had two Paths. It had Richie's Path and a miniaturized Walls of Jericho that blocked the raining bullets. But along with it was the Path of the woman who survived the secret project in Egypt. She was experimented with being a controller of the Nile waters that Andronze developed. But the scientist in charge of this had a change of heart and escaped and faked their death, and was recruited by Lennox.
"That's Andronze's Water Universe Energy! So you made a trade with her? I should have known!" Lanterk laughed.
It wasn't just Seeker who used the same power. Meryl also had the shield.
But Lynd and Cliff didn't create a shield but created a Flood Dragon.
"Why did you even bother to evade my attacks? What was the point of all that?"
"It would have been embarrassing on your part if we succeeded." Seeker laughed as he charged forward and used powerful and explosive attacks to blow away the metal that Lanterk controlled.
But little did Lanterk know that inside his ship was a man who had successfully infiltrated the ship and was now moving like a Pioneer.
"I'm in." Jake reported to Alean.
Next to Alean, Rai had appeared.
"It worked. No one noticed." Rai confirmed.
"The missions a go! Jake's in! Keep distracting Lanterk!"
