Chapter 486 Adding Knowledge To Faith

Lanterk could sense that his computers were being hacked. He could tell that the power similar to the strongest Presider had attacked the core facility that orchestrated the shifting changes in the ship.

"Presider Marrho's lightning? It's this advanced?!" Lanterk cursed. He had seen the brief appearances of these attacks. But never did he think that Living Lightning would be this advance that it could actually begin to affect the entire ship as it invaded the Universe Energy that controlled the ship.

Lanterk instantly lost effective control over his clones, and his communication with his people became distorted.

Lanterk had no choice but to assume his battle form.

"Do it now!" Jake shouted at Alean. He had done his mission and sent Lennox into the machine.

"Not yet. You have to fight it. Don't let Lanterk boot out Lennox just yet. Distract it!"

"What?! Distract it?! I'll die!" Jake shouted. Seeker didn't even take him seriously in the fight. Although his Path was strong, it was not enough to defeat an Overcomer like Seeker, who commanded numerous powers.

"Exactly. If you want to have a chance to defeat Seeker and claim Kristine, then fight him!" Alean ordered.

Lanterk's Skinsuit emerged as the large pod opened up.

"How did you get on my Throne?" Lanterk saw Jake hovering and immediately went on the attack.

The Universe Energy in the room began to gather and rush towards him.

Jake saw the attack, quickly twisted the top portion of the small cylindrical metal, and moved to the right.

A portal to the Void opened.

Unlike the techs that the rest of the Void Assassins used, this one was intentionally made to be more dangerous. The opening towards the Void realm wasn't stable, and it was even superimposed on the three dimensions making it impossible to cross.

But such a path was possible for Jake as he dove into it and crossed twenty meters in an instant.

Jake didn't stop after his first teleportation. He kept flipping the switch and tried to teleport around the area.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

During the attacks, Lanterk landed and clapped not a split second after each jump, and Lanterk observed how Jake managed to avoid the pressure and that the space around them was forcing Lanterk to stand still.

Humans have around 2.5% of their bodies composed of metals. The human body contains metals like iron, cobalt copper, magnesium, calcium, and other metals. And for Unlocked and modified humans, this actually increases up to 3 to 5%.

The power of Lanterk could command all metals. And in this strange world, he was using a powerful magnetism that would have affected Jake. Lanterk could even tell that Jake's body has an even higher amount, reaching 8%, many of which were very damaging to the human body!

But even with such high composition, Jake was moving without any problems!

"It's as if these metals in his body are not affected by my power. What an interesting science! I can't assess the rest of those freaks... But will my power fail to work on them as well?" Lanterk wondered. He could not try to attack Seeker and the rest with this same attack.

His powers could not command the metal in the body of another.

"So the Lost Primordial and the Progenitor attacked me because they are confident that my Presider-Killing techs won't work on them..." Lanterk was growing more and more irritated.

When Jake faced Lanterk, Alean gave the signal to Lynd at that short moment.

Lynd had been fighting against the three enemies that opposed him.

"Hahaha! How long will this sun burn?! You're running out of fuel, Progenitor!" A massive Armor now stood before him with a huge shield. His two partners were wearing small exoskeletons with large cannons. One took in the damage of Lynd's attack, and the rest focused on attacking Lynd with diverse forms of weapons.

Lynd had managed to use his Shekinah to destroy and melt the massive armor, but it kept reforming. The resistance of the metal was also gradually increasing as the metals around them were gradually absorbing the energy from Lynd's attack.

BOOM! BOOM!

Two attacks landed and struck Lynd, sending him towards the walls of the strange realm.

The liquid metal quickly began to pull Lynd and bind him and the small floating wheels that were rotating within a wheel that kept moving around him.

"Kill him!" The man piloting the large Armor ordered, and the two pilots of the exoskeleton with huge guns gathered a massive amount of liquid metal, making an even bigger gun.

At that moment, Lynd smiled.

"The Universe Energy... The Realm has weakened in here. Lennox succeeded. Good." Lynd laughed.

"Fire!" One of the pilots shouted at his partner, and the two shot a massive laser beam.

"Have a taste of your own medicine!" The pilot laughed as intense heat shot out of their guns.

But suddenly, the liquid metal around Lynd shot forward and created a massive shield and Armor!

BOOM!

The armor looked exactly like the one that the enemy piloted.

"A good thing about metal is that it conducts electricity." Lynd laughed as he began to gather more liquid metal around him.

The entire plan to attack Lanterk was based on Lynd's ability to develop rapidly. And that ability was Tech Copy. His observations had transcended thanks to inputs of Lennox's sciences and the many studies they did. Lynd was trained to have an incredible amount of head knowledge which he was using to replicate techs. His observation that he could perform Copy through his faith as a believer improved with knowledge.

"Add to your faith virtue. I needed the right mindset. What I believed to be the moral good had to change least I could not become an Overcomer. And add to virtue, knowledge." Lynd smiled as the liquid metal followed his orders.

Lynd could imitate technology already. But when he saw Shakstress, he knew that he couldn't. His body was incapable of imitating the miracles that Shakstress could do because there was no way for Lynd to create the energy or the means to harness the same energy.

Universe Energy was also similar to the powers of Realm. It gave a person complete control of their powers and the full manipulation of them. Even Seeker, who could command it, cannot use the wielded Path against the Path user. He can only wield it as if the Path user gave Seeker permission.

And so, the plan to steal technology from Lanterk began. Lanterk had stayed among the Unlocks, and many spies had already figured out more of his techs as his patience was pushed numerous times between Meryl and Danny.

It was impossible for Lynd to 'copy' Lanterk's tech just as it was with Shakstress. Lynd and Seeker could 'understand' a technology if they were directly exposed to it.

The fight that Seeker and Lynd did against Shakstress allowed them to make progress to the Minuscule world of Shakstress. While they could not replicate it for lack of certain mysterious powers that made up the Universe Energy of Shakstress, they now had a direction.

But Lanterk's tech was that of metal. Lanterk was clearly stronger as his manipulation of Metal was terrifying in application. Even the Miniscule World of Shacktress would fall prey to the magnetic powers of Lanterk.

But Seeker and his team knew that such tech would be difficult to copy. And so, they made preparations. Lennox's AI was meant to disrupt the Universe Energy that made it impossible for Lynd to understand the technology.

Lennox also used his powers to invade the metal, and it was as if the techs that Lennox managed to acquire were immediately uploaded on Lynd.

With that, Lynd finally managed to copy the basics of the technology. The data was in the metal itself. The forms that the enemy showed him, the massive armor, and the gun were copied.

Lynd began to absorb the energy that he sent out and was absorbed by the enemy.

"Thanks for teaching me how to make a gun. Too bad I won't be able to create this sea of liquid metal." Lynd laughed as a massive gun similar to the one the enemy created was forming. At the very center of this gun were the floating wheels that had many other wheels rotating inside.

The three were shocked at the sight of Lynd's power.

"What's going on?!"

"Somethings wrong! Our metal is not responding!"

The pair kept shooting at Lynd, but the metal that Lynd gathered was already too strong, and the energy it was absorbing was feeding his gun.

"Presider!" The Pioneers called out, but the line was not working.

Lynd took out the strange power that he acquired when he was traveling within the Void. Rai had left him for it, and Lynd was waiting for Alean's prompting.

At that time, Jake had already lost his right arm, and he could feel organs rupturing from the intense reactions as Lanterk continued to experiment with just how much he could control the metal in Jake's body.

"Interesting. Perhaps your power isn't teleporting. You're deceiving me! Your real power is being able to slip through matter! What a curious tech! This is believed to be a dead-end! To think that it would still have applications! To slip through the dimensions beyond?! What great power!" Lanterk was amazed at what he saw and took his precious time to find out more about Jake's power.

At that moment of the euphoria of discovery, it happened.

Alean gave the command.

"Now!"

Jake and Lynd revealed the object that they had acquired from Rai. It was a small floating light. It was like a firefly floating in their palm, and the two crushed it.

A massive explosion of Realm occurred as their powers of Rai surged and created his strongest attack.

Jake was standing before the three Pioneers who were panicking. And Jake ran towards them, slipped through the metal walls, dove inside the Armor, and instantly killed the pilot.

Lynd stood before Lanterk with a massive gun.

"Small Willy, Meet Bigus Dickus!" Lynd laughed as he shot a massive beam towards Lanterk.
