New Game+-Chapter 519 The Plague Of Darkness
Meryl hovered over the sky and began to harness her true power.
She was wearing a dark exoskeleton suit based on the Sun Devourer tech of Shackstress. The suit was made from her cultivated cells and interlinked with her power.
And so, the levels of heat that her armor could withstand, which is caused by Meryl's path, were unknown. It was believed that if Meryl reached the scorching heat of the sun itself, as long as her Path caused that heat, this dark armor would function without any problems!
Her Path to shine had already crossed the levels and would classify her as a World Champion by the former standards. However, her powers had grown that all she needed was the Overcomer's Will. If she had that, she would instantly be classified as an Overcomer and even surpass the Near-Overcomers states that many previously held on to.
She began to shine. And everything else in the world began to grow dim.
The darkness of the clouds had made it look like there was night. But as many of the Presiders were right above the clouds or used certain techs to clear them, they were stunned the darkness was forming.
The sun looked like a moon that had no light but only reflected it.
All the light was gathering around Meryl.
They could look straight at it and see it as a golden ball. But the bright light that it gave was nowhere to be seen.
But even with such a strange phenomenon, Richie and the Tyrant Empress had begun their war at the center of the battlefield.
Even when the power and energy that Meryl was wielding had reached a shocking level, the two continued to fight it out.
"What now?!" Straviaa cursed as she glanced at the screens that revealed Meryl.
"Who is she aiming at?" Andornze watched as well.
Everyone was in a very dangerous position with all the battles they were fighting.
"Send a platoon of Supreme Exoskeletons and Serpent Warriors up there!" Andronze ordered.
The other Presiders sent their forms of powerful exoskeletons. These specific exoskeletons could harness tremendous energy and be on par with the Sun Devourer suits that Shacktress had.
But as these Exoskeletons raced to the top, a strange portal opened right behind Meryl, and several spaceships appeared out of the Void.
The ship was similar to the designs of the Pegasus that the WGP had, which was said to be the Command Center of the Atlantis.
And several figures appeared out of the ship and charged toward the approaching enemies.
The Gryphon Squadron appeared and began to attack the numerous exoskeletons and used several teams. Meryl's Twelve Disciples were at the ready. The similar paths that the Overcomers had exploded over the heavens.
Seeker, Lynd, and Meryl's parents were also donning their own special Supreme Exoskeletons and made their battles.
Leading and commanding their battles was Alean.
Another portion of the Nile that wasn't tainted with the red waters flew out towards Meryl's position. But then a massive serpent appeared in the sky.
Cliff and his team were at the center, and the massive creature bit down and destroyed the water serpent's head, causing the water serpent to retreat.
The formation of the team and even the direction in which Meryl prepared her attack gave no clue as to who she would attack. Many believed it to be Andronze as she was directly above the tall Babel tower.
But no one could be certain, and everyone was prepared to harness their defenses when the attack occurred. But everyone was already dealing with various groups that infiltrated their ships. At that point, everyone was not confident of being able to block such an attack. This was the golden opportunity where Meryl could inflict terrifying damage to any Presiders!
Danny watched as the power of Meryl robbed the Earth and gave her a golden glow.
He couldn't help but smile.
"I'm dating a Saiyan!" He chuckled as he went on to fight.
Darkness covered the lands, and the light that the fires or explosions made turned dim.
The world itself seemed to have been robbed of color as it appeared monochrome in everyone's eyes. Meryl's power to rob the light had even changed the color so that people could see things.
The Plague of Darkness had befallen the land of Egypt.
The nearby nations could even see the light fade, and many marveled at the miraculous power of this person who robbed the sun of the light.
Social media all focused on this miracle. And those who were part of the Unlocked Armies branded her and posted images of the darkening world and claimed that the Empress of the Sun was among them.
The brilliant sun was ready to explode out.
"Seeker?" Meryl risked and asked through the Thought Transmitter.
"Not yet! This damned idiot isn't awake!" Seeker cursed back as he was trying to find a way to awaken Vender.
"How is he even asleep?" Cliff frowned.
"Ugh. Don't ask. I've been with that man. He's very... annoying. I nearly lost numerous experiments because of him." Charles recalled the dark days when Vender was there.
"But... for some strange reason, all his actions helped me in my studies. He destroys Zone. But he leads you to the right path." Charles explained.
Seeker was complaining but decided that this was probably for the best.
"Wait. Meryl. I'll give you the signal when to attack. Lynd. We have to start it. Alean. I trust you know when to send Lynd in." Seeker sighed and stood up.
Meryl's real target wasn't Egypt.
The Hunt of the Presiders was something that Seeker had no intention of joining. Especially since he was still having a hard time controlling his powers, his recent fight with Lanterk, where he forced the use of numerous Paths to create stability, had made him unable to control his attacks perfectly.
But the more he saw the threat of Garenjazz, the more he found it necessary to kill him.
He plotted to use Zeraphine, who had some mysterious relationship with Garenjazz, as a means to get to him. Seeker revealed that the Lost Primordial and the other experiments aimed to take down Zeraphine because of his close ties to the Progenitor. And this forced Zeraphine to appear above the battlegrounds and had Garenjazz next to him to protect her. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
But this lie was used to isolate Garenjazz from the circle of the gathering Presiders.
The war with Andornze was something that all Presiders would get distracted with. They were facing millions! The Unlocked armies sent their teams to attack certain Presiders in the chaos.
The peace that Garenjazz and Zeraphine had would be their weakness. But in this plan to ambush Garenjazz's ship, a critical component was needed! Vender! The only person who had the Path that could severely weaken Garenjazz!
Seeker approached Garenjazz and Zeraphine.
"Who is she?" Garenjazz asked.
"Don't you already know?"
"I know that she's your ally. I believe she was there when you attacked Lanterk."
"I don't recall. That was my dad using me as an avatar. The backlash... was scary." Seeker trembled.
Zeraphine approached and held Seeker's hand.
"So you don't know her?"
"I do know her. She calls herself the Empress of the Sun. She took Shacktress Sun Devouring technology. But it looks like she has improved it."
CRACK!
Suddenly, the space in front of Zeraphine began to crack.
"A breach in my dimensional shield?! Someone is trying to teleport their way in here!" Zeraphine exclaimed.
CRACK!
The space suddenly began to burn with yellow and green fire as if it was trying to break through space itself.
"It's him! Why is he coming here?!" Seeker frowned.
"Who?"
"The rival of my father! He's the closest thing I have to an uncle. Together, my father and this man fought and killed Shackstress!" Seeker explained.
CRACK! BOOM!
Space collapsed, and a strange doorway to the void realm was opened.
Lynd stepped off. He wore an Exoskeleton suit that had so much energy the Pioneers on the ship had to flee from the tremendous energy it had.
The floors of Zeraphine's ship began to show signs of melting from the tremendous heat.
"That's a powerful suit. It's almost a Combat Body of a Principal!" Garenjazz chuckled.
"If the Progenitor won't act. I will. Garenjazz! Let's fight!" Lynd ordered as a berserked power began to rush out.
Lynd had used his rage and appeared, and it wielded as many powers as he could.
Garenjazz laughed at Lynd's appearance.
"A suicide attempt? Luck is not on your side, dude. And even if Progenitor here betrays me and fights, you two won't still be a match for me." Garenjazz laughed.
"HWAAAAA! That was a nice nap!" Vender stretched his hands as he woke up.
It was as if the entire space around Garenjazz began to shatter. A strange force had suddenly appeared, and he felt his luck running out.
"What the?! Who?!" Garenjazz shouted and raised his hands to attack Vender.
"Garenjazz! What are you doing?!" Seeker rushed back and harnessed energy in his body and placed it on his sword.
Dreams became a reality as powerful, sharp swords that could cut through the strongest of Presider metals appeared and slashed at Vender.
Seeker activated several Paths and used them to defend against the incoming swords.
Vender was screaming like a scared piglet and running at the back as he was horrified to see swords come at him just seconds when he woke up.
Lynd charged in and attacked Garenjazz from behind, but a powerful realm opened up, and dreams became a reality for Garenjazz.
"Dimensional Upholding?!" Lynd was horrified! Garenjazz was at least as strong as Lanterk!
But at that moment of the broken luck, Meryl shot her beam towards the ship of Garenjazz.
