Chapter 240 - Fall Of The Kraken

The Pangean Army sent out a torrent of attacks. 

As for the Empress and the Emperor, they immediately took advantage of this and sent several attacks towards the same location. 

Crostfree gazed to the sky and looked towards space. He then saw it and was relieved. 

He took action, and suddenly, the space around him began to change. More and more parts of his gigantic ship peeked out of his pocket dimension. 

It was as if a hologram of a red moon appeared on Earth. 

As it appeared, it began to fire back several bright rays that shot towards the Pangean army and the large water creature with a Titan inside. 

The Empress used more ocean water to create a shield, but every attack from the red light would cause the waters to explode out. 

The Empress ordered the large water monster, which contained the Titan and the Kraken, and dove down towards the sea. Yet even as it did this, more energy beams were erupting from the sea itself. 

It was as if the ocean was fighting the moon. 

The Pangean soldiers all saw these things and marveled at the sight. 

"Don't fall back, men! When we decided to challenge these people, we knew what we were up against! Press on and fight! Support the WGP!" Harker roared as he dove closer and closer to the chaotic battlefield. 

The hologram-like form of the moon that battled against the sea remained immovable and continued to attack. 

While all these things were happening, Crostfree's mind was focused on the words that Harker shouted. 

"The Lost Primordial!" 

"Pridgeon!" Crostfree called out immediately. 

"Did you hear that?!" 

On the other side of the battlefield, Pridgeon was exceedingly angry. 

"That idiot, Harker! He betrayed those two?!" 

Ever since the deception of Lowengren, he had been trying to figure out more of the Lost Primordial. He knew that the Lost Primordial in this world wasn't real, but only someone who might have acquired their technology. 

From their talks, he knew that Harker was following their orders. But he never expected that Harker would betray them. 

"Yes! I heard! Who is the Lost Primordial?! Is it that same one in our stories?!" Pridgeon pretended he didn't know. 

"It must be! He must be here!" 

"But that's impossible! Not even Primes can live that long! It's been thousands of years!" 

"He must have fled here somehow. We must be wary. It seems the war here on Earth is something that is far more complicated than what we thought it was!" Crostfree explained. 

He remembered the strange advance Domain sciences and concluded that it must have been the former Presiders. 

"Something must be up! The former Presiders must have discovered clues about the Lost Primordial and went home! Remember, among those Presiders that retreated, several are joining the Principal! There must be something up! Who knows? They could be luring a Principal here to fight the Lost Primordial!" 

"Shouldn't we report it to the rest?" Pridgeon asked. 

"Don't be a fool! It's every Presider for himself! If we tell the rest, they will start infighting to win the Principal's favor! There are already some of them here! It's a race against time! We have to acquire as much as we can from the Lost Primordial! Who knows? Maybe one of those Presiders who went home is luring the Principal here! Maybe one of the Presiders has betrayed us and gave away our information!" 

"What? One of the Presider's has betrayed us?" 

"Yes! There are only three Presiders who have the technology to detect my location without me noticing accurately! Garnejazz, Fayor, and Zeraphine!" 

"How can you be sure that it's those three!" 

"I know what their Judges Claims were. The potential of their techs could easily detect mine!" 

"Then you don't suspect me? I was once attacked and almost died here. What if I am the traitor?" Pridgeon challenged. 

"Then what if you are that traitor!? Why should I trust you? And why are you trusting me?" Pridgeon immediately challenged. 

"Trust you? I don't trust you. Why would Presider's trust each other? I am informing you because there is a very low chance that you would be a traitor. I'm just sure of it!" Crostfree laughed as if he heard a funny joke. 

"The technology that could reveal my location is something that not even five of you can manage!" Crostfree laughed. 

The strange explosions that startled and caught him off guard was a technology that Crostfree believed to Atomic Combustion. Only those with Domain could do these. He knew all of Pridgeon's Judges Claim, and even if Pridgeon made one more Judges Claim, it would be a foundation Presider Science. It would take him decades to develop and apply the foundations of this tech. 

"However, you could be working for the traitor!" 

"But then again... You can't be. I have my ways of detecting the signals you sent. I am sure that you have not yet sent a message to any of the Presiders in space. Don't underestimate the way I can sense and see things from here!" 

"Then answer my other question. What if you are that traitor? What if you are someone in league with the Lost Primordial? Weren't your teams the first to go back here? The Pioneers in Australia who were under your banner were all killed! This means that either they were killed by the Lost Primordial in a war you already started..." 

"Or that the Lost Primordial wanted to lure me out here and someone among the Presiders wants me dead. Regardless, I am planning to betray the Presiders in this way. I will steal whatever technology I can steal from these teams! You have a choice to support me or to go against me. You have a choice. You either help me in this battle, or I will kill you myself!" 

"Help you? But how?" 

"Fight with all your technological prowess! At this point, you need to fight with everything. I have already revealed so much in this battle! Any more, and it would make the Presiders up there suspicious!" 

"What? With what you already revealed, they should have detected it!" 

"Wrong! The WGP has found a way to distort the surrounding area. It's one of the technologies that tempted me and have made me reveal a portion of my powers! Those at the moon can't detect it! Only Zeraphine can, but we've lost contact from her for a long time!" The Presider laughed. 

"Why me? If I begin attacking, they will attack me with their forces! I can't handle their attacks! I could risk dying." 

"As I said, you are either a spy, an employee of the spy, or someone who is just caught up in this whole battle! I don't care what you do, but I'll kill you if you don't do it! Do you realize that here on Earth is an inheritance that could be a foundational science of Principals or higher? Choose! Or I'll kill you!" 

Suddenly the large translucent moon began to appear more and more visible and began to release powerful energy attacks. Red lights, blue and yellow beams filled the sky. It was all aimed at the area where Pridgeon's ship was. 

The blast traveled with such a crazy speed that it was already at the speed of light. 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! 

"Damn it! Stop attacking! I'll do it!" Several attacks struck the ship, but a bright blue shield protected Pridgeon's ship. 

He then began to move faster and faster and release bright lights from all over his ship. 

The bright light was similar to the Empress's light, and the Emperor used to create the Jormungandr. 

But these lights were more powerful and began to attack several of the large flying buildings. 

The light energy immediately pierced and penetrated through one of the structures. 

The Armors and the Exoskeletons began to charge against Pridgeon and attacked them. 

The army that Harker brought was surprisingly skilled as it could evade and the living attacks. 

The many structures that were once targeting the moon began to attack Pridgeon's large craft. 

The attacks soon began to hit, and the cloaking mechanism could no longer hide itself from the many blows and explosions that it was receiving. 

"How are they seeing me?!" Pridgeon cursed as he immediately deployed a powerful white bomb. 

A flash of white appeared and devoured everything with a radius of three kilometers. 

Everything that was within that area all exploded. Armors, Exoskeleton, and even the structures that were caught in the blast all became rubble that fell to the sea. 

Pridgeon's craft moved with speed, but his ship needed to recharge energy to create defensive shields after that attack. 

Suddenly, a powerful bolt of lightning emerged from the sea. 

The Titan had surfaced and sent several attacks at the ship. 

The blast pierced through Pridgeon's ship. 

"AGH! Crostfree! Save me!" Pridgeon cried. 

"Why should I?" Crostfree sneered. With Pridgeon dead, he would have all the techs to himself. 

Pridgeon used several evasive movements. The ship that was pierced through with lightning, still could fly at an unbelievable speed and headed towards the large moon. 

"Do you know why I am a weak Presider? Where did you think I spent my Judges Call? On those banned history books! I know about the Lost Primordial! I can share it with you!" Pridgeon shouted. 

This message alarmed Crostfree. Everyone knew of that option. It was one of the many things that a Presider could claim. But none would do so. Why would they spend a Judge's claim on something so useless? This explained how Pridgeon was so weak that he was barely seen as a peer by many. Crostfree immediately acted. He needed whatever information Pridgeon had. 

Suddenly, several layers of reddish blocks appeared around Pridgeon's ship and shielded it from the solarium attacks. 

The attacks were blocked, and Pridgeon ran towards the large moon. A small portion of the red moon gave way and allowed Pridgeon's ship to pass through. 

"Since you have your use, I guess I'll spare your life. Now to finish this!" Crostfree laughed. 

"Behold Pridgeon! This is my power! I won't hide it anymore! I've killed several Presiders and hundreds of Pioneers to take away their techs. This is one of them! The Bolt of Heaven of Presider Marrho, condensed in my own pocket dimension!" Crostfree laughed. 

At that moment, it was as if space opened up. A portal appeared and led towards eternal darkness. The image inside the portal couldn't be explained. 

Only Seeker's watchful eyes glanced and could see what was inside it. 

"Space really is curled up. So that's why the Bible tells us that the heavens will recede like a scroll..." Seeker muttered as he looked at the opened portal from an unknown location. 

A powerful lightning bolt emerged and struck the sea. 

BOOM! 

The sea, which was made up of Origin Energy, met the living lighting of the Presider. 

To a Presider, Origin was a foundational science. And the Domain that Crostfree revealed was something far superior in application and harnessing. 

The powerful bolt that struck the sea attacked the Origin Energy and caused it to revert in form. The lightning itself aimed to attack the entire sea itself and create a powerful surge that blasted through the Titan, the Rule, and Kraken itself. 

Explosions after explosions rocked the entire sea. 

The Great Old One that was formed dissipated and was lost in the sea. 

The Titan that received the tremendous attack began to explode to pieces. 

The Kraken was no longer being protected and carried by the water, and the waters collapsed in it. 

The Rule showed no activity. Its charred form sank into the deep ocean. 

And just like that, the strongest structures crafted by Earthly hands were done in by one tremendous thunderbolt. The symbol of the WGP's strength, the Kraken, has sunk along with the Emperors and Empress that ruled over it. 

"NO!" Harker cried in great shock as the attack silenced the sea. 

He began to charge towards the Red moon blindly. He was the one that was closest to it and chased after Pridgeon's ship, which was passing through a small passageway that opened up. 

"Harker! I've heard of you! Light of Pangea! Die!" Crostfree's voice echoed throughout the entire area around them. 

A figure appeared in the distance. It was about a man's size, and he had a strange dark cloak that covered all of his forms. It looked like a ghost hovering over the distance as his body seemed to be translucent. 

Crostfree revealed himself and personally took action. 

He raised his hands as a bright red energy appeared before him. 

"I'll tell you something, Pridgeon. This attack uses a very familiar element. Sulfur. Who would have thought that the only element to cross through the dimensions would be brimstone? This attack is quite weak but will become quite helpful when trying to take out pests like this. Who knows who this Harker is working for? But if he is in league with a Presider, then Dimension technology must be employed. Consider this as my sincerity for our partnership." Crostfree laughed. 

A reddish and fiery substance that looked like liquid erupted out of his hand like a volcanic explosion. 

Pridgeon rushed to the side to evade the erupting energy in shock. But just when the fiery liquid fire almost struck Pridgeon, it moved and changed its direction, allowing none to hit it. 

The rushing lave moved with incredible speed towards Harker's Armor. 

Suddenly, the lava near Harker's Armor disappeared. 

It was then that Crostfree noticed it. Harker's Armor was emitting a strange green light, but now, this light was now more concentrated. And then, Crostfree found a man standing at the back of this moving Armor. 

"What? My Infernal Brimstone was destroyed?!" He was shocked. 

The sudden strange force that could destroy Brimstone alarmed Crostfree. Pridgeon had reached the end of this pathway, and his ship was positioned next to Crostfree's figure. The alarming green energy surprised Crostfree that he immediately closed this passageway as the transparent red moon began to close the pathway created. 

Meng's expression was growing paler and paler. The powerful pressure could not be devoured, and the path became small. 

"You better move fast. The Tail of the Dragon could only be maintained for so long." Meng spoke. 

"I know." Seeker smiled. It was then he carried a strange mace which he got inside of Harker's Armor. 

This small mace was so expensive that it costed more than the entire Armor of Harker. 

Three small metal cubes and three Balls of Thunder were detonated. 

Seeker moved forward and even entered the desolation of the Tail of the Dragon. 

With Cold Fusion, Seeker resisted the terrifying desolation. And because he could move within it for a few seconds, he had enough time to wield it through his realm. 

Seeker moved with incredible speed. With telekinesis and Richie's sound, he dove right for the path before him that Meng created through the Tail of the Dragon. 

Seeker had always tried to imitate Arthur in the future. And while he couldn't fully do the same thing that Arthur could do, his movements and imitation of Arthur's attack gave him the moniker the Death Tide. But now, things were vastly different. 

When his Adult Self appeared, Seeker realized that he still had an additional thought process but was constantly used by his Adult self. But now that his Adult self-had fallen into some slumber, the remaining thought process remained, and it allowed the Young Seeker to use it to support his calculation. He knew long ago that he could do this as he finally succeeded in treading on the foundations of Lennox. And this additional thought process was what Seeker needed to pull it off. 

"Time to Tread the Threshing Floor!" 

Seeker dove to the closing passageway before him and performed an attack that only one man could do in his future timeline.
