Chapter 492 The Life

The battle under the sea caused a great commotion. The technologies of the Earth detected mass-energy surges that rippled throughout the world.

And while no physical manifestations were seen, all the nations were on high alert, fearing the appearance of the superpowers that had appeared several times around the world.

The familiar energy fluctuations were linked to the appearance of the Moon ship and the massive saucer that waged war against Egypt.

Military forces were all deployed, and all massive fortress was on the move, ready to attack.

But then, a day passed, and nothing happened.

Many connected the surge of power and believed that it was caused by the sudden surface of the Underground world of Egypt.

On the second day, the accusations fell on Egypt, and all the world watched that nation.

It was as if Egypt hid an entire nation deep underground. Walls, fortresses, military bases, and cities emerged, and any existing city at the top somehow incorporated itself into the underground world.

In Giza, the Pyramids of Egypt rose to the high heavens. A massive tower over three kilometers tall appeared and stood proudly in Egypt.

Wars also occurred as Egypt rained terror on the newly formed Desert Kingdom.

The news of Egypt's revealed power became the talk of the world. Moreover, Egypt had declared the name of their leader, Sun God Andronze.

The Caliphates tightened their forces and sent numerous powerful groups to guard the borders. All the numerous nations of the Caliphates sent massive armies to guard the south. One China was in a state of war, and the European Nations were in conflict as various nations were vying to be the ruler of the region.

Russia was attacking everyone next to them. These became reasonable reasons for the Caliphates to focus their defenses on Egypt.

But as the armies of the Caliphates headed south, where all forces were placed in the south, Israel suddenly declared its independence, and the City of Jerusalem waged war on all the Caliphate nations.

Using their ancient religious claim to the land which they said their God had promised them, Israel caused a civil war, and in the moment of weakness, it attacked its neighboring countries, which had few defenses.

Numerous leaders of the Caliphates were captured, and some regions immediately surrendered to Israel.

The technology of Israel was shocking as it deployed weapons that were stronger than the recorded Thrones of the WGP. The nations that Israel attacked had no chance to defend themselves.

The sudden war caused great outrage in the Caliphate region, and its imminent collapse was expected.

But as all of this happened, Seeker remained unconscious.

Days passed, and still, Seeker could not be revived.

On the third day, Seeker finally woke up.

He was in a room with technology that was far more advanced than any of the other rooms or fortresses that Seeker visited. The room was so advanced that Seeker couldn't even recognize where he was.

"Where am I...?"

"Back in South America. You're awake. What you did was stupid." A familiar doctor was there as he approached Seeker.

"Charles! You're here?!"

"Of course. You have new toys and techs that I want to play with. But those reports can wait. What did you do? What happened?"

"I was being a little too reckless. I tried to create a body that could contain the Paths of many. Lanterk said about having a Nefilus Combat Body. I think this is something that only Principals can create." Seeker sighed.

"Of course. Lynd would imitate the Paths but has to switch from one to another. You, however, took the foundations of every Path and tried to combine them permanently. Remember, Lynd copies the Path, which is why he is the Way, but you know the Truth to each Path. But you tried to create a new body that harnessed all Truth. It was too much. Not even the power source you created to feed you with energy constantly would be insufficient!"

"I thought I could handle it! I managed to tame the cells of the Tyrant Empress in me and used her Path to seduce and command all the rest. I thought that with her power to get everyone to cooperate, I could sustain that power since I have Amir's regeneration!"

"Idiot! Think about what we know! Top-Tier Presiders need a massive power source to create Universe Energy! But if what you were trying to create was a Principals body, your current body can only create powers that would be Top-Tier at most!"

"Yeah, I get it. I bit on something I couldn't chew..." Seeker sighed.

"But it wasn't all that useless. The decay and destruction your body had were similar to the Plague of the Firstborn that Ricardo has. Vender's daughter recovered quite a bit because of my findings. I expect her to become an Inhuman when she takes the last doses of the drugs I managed to create from your body."

"Well, good for you."

"Seeker. There's more to it than just a cure. I think I found it. The answer that can help us create this so-called Nefilus Combat Body."

"You... do?!" Seeker was shocked.

"Yes. Me, of course."

"You?"

"It's quite poetic. In your past life, the ones who saved the Earth, or delayed doomsday, were you, me, and Lynd. And right now, Lynd is the Way. You are the Truth. And with this, I found my calling. The Life."

"You intend to be the Life?"

"I need to. Only Amir and I have hopes of becoming it. But that werewolf would cause a werewolf apocalypse if we were not careful. So it has to be me if I want to save Ricardo."

"Looks like you really have no choice but to become an Overcomer."

"Yes. And here is another reason that it has to be me. I need to conquer the Plague of the First Born. If I acquire that, then I believe I could be of great use to the Unlocked Army. And I'm not talking just about becoming immune to this sickness. You see, the Unlocked has had a problem with lifespan. I've already calculated that for you, considering the massive upscale of the power you are releasing, none of the Overcomers will live after ten years. Even if they all start studying Nogard's soul, it won't be enough. There lies a need for us to change our body just as the Presiders did."

"You're talking about the Nefilus body..."

"Exactly. The Lost Primordial has somehow found a way of achieving this power apart from the Nefilus body. But then I realized, why did the Lost Primordial die in the end?"

"You're saying that even after his intense battle with the Primordial, he should still have the power to live?"

"Yes. Was he poisoned? Were his organs hurt? Would that even matter? What did he have after the battle that limited his lifespan? Here's my theory, the Lost Primordial opted for a different body. The Nefilus body was from the beast that Gilgamesh saw. The Aragarians built and used this power of the beast to create their current technology. Perhaps, they took a single cell from the body of this beast? But I believe that the Lost Primordial opted for another power. A weaker power that can't grant eternity."

"A Nephilim's body?" Seeker guessed.

"It's possible! If we go with the biblical accounts, Genesis six records how God cursed these Nephilims and deemed their bodies to only bear the power of these spiritual beings we call angels for a hundred and twenty years. Perhaps when Gilgamesh fled to the stars, they had Nephilims with them."

"So the Lost Primordial died as was the curse of the Nephilim. But you are not after the Nephilim's body. Our current form is the full science of the Lost Primordial. Do you want Seth? The body that Arthur confirmed to exist under Egypt, right?"

"Yes. Why settle for 120 when the Bible clearly tells us that Seth lived for 912 years?" Charles smiled.

"In short, you want to put priority on the raid in Egypt?"

"Yes."

"I don't want to join that war." Seeker answered immediately.

"That land is where the battleground of the Tyrant Empress and Richie's team will be. They will fight each other and will face the wrath of Andronze. More Presiders will be joining in that fight too. Andronze has no longer any choice. I'm sure Lanterk will retreat, and Andronze, who has been secretly trading with Lanterk, will lose her source. If she wants to sustain her fortresses, she has to wage war. Egypt has already risen now, right? This means it can now fall to follow the records of the Bible!"

"What if you bring Zeraphine? We showed her your state and told her that you fought against Lanterk at the Progenitor's orders. She was very pissed at the Progenitor, but she couldn't do anything since she really thinks the Progenitor is your dad."

"Zeraphine?" Seeker glared at Charles.

"Yes. Her. The one who betrayed you and played you like a flute. It's your chance to use her and play her like a flute in this life!"
