Chapter 467 That Which Lies Under Egypt
The video call that happened used no lines, satellites, or any other conventional method. The ocean itself was the line that connected it. With the alliance between the Emperors of the Everhiss clan, Origin technology had become readily available.
The shocking thing was how fast it was for the teams to combine their technology and use Realm and Origin together.
Some devices were placed on the ocean that interacted with the water that was part of the Invoking of the Everhiss clan. The Call of the Dead that Waits Dreaming created a massive creature that commanded the waters similar to Egypt's Nile Technology. And this same water was stretched out in a very thin line that moved across the continents.
This made the line secure as the Presiders would have to find the right point of the water physically.
Managing these lines was the Realm King, who completed their connections.
Richie's sound and Lennox's lightning were also added to create a connection that was even more powerful than the fiber cables used by some countries.
The Comm device itself had hologram technology derived from Shakstress's technology.
Seeker, Meryl, and the bound Jake joined in the call.
Richie, Calvin Luther Eagle, Greydon Meng, Rosa, Grant Hermes, Amir Mann, Lennox Humphrey, Lioncourt Diviner with Rai, Typical, Octarion Ceasar, Akasha, and Arthur Arthinar Humphrey were in the call.
"Hello." Richie gave a cheerful greeting.

"The strongest has to join in last." Caesar smiled.
"Are you sure you can resist this, Arthur?" Lioncourt asked Arthur.
"Yes. I am so close to finding my sister. I can't get distracted even for a second." Arthur answered firmly.
"My, my... Two Humphreys. What a bloodline. And my congratulations to Typical. I heard you managed to end it with a draw against Rai." Grant Hermes smiled.
"Yes. I'm ready for another round with Amir. Do you miss your daddy, my little bitch? I heard you went after Master Cliff again And threatened him with his girlfriend." Typical leered.
"Learn your place, little one. I'll feast on you when this is all over."
"Master Cliff?" Seeker was amazed.
"Of course. I always refer to the strong as such. But, of course, someone who had been ganged-raped by my needles doesn't deserve such titles."
"Control yourself, Typical." Meng chastised.
"Forgive me, Master."
"I see that Lady Meryl has gotten much more beautiful. I want to sink my teeth in that." Akasha smiled.
Meryl smiled and looked dangerously at Akasha.
"Oh? Do try. You'll be in for a world of pleasure and pain." Meryl laughed.
"Greydon, tell your dad to stay away from my Granny." Seeker finally couldn't control himself.
Everyone was startled at the accusation.
"Relax, son. They are both consenting adults." Meng chuckled.
"Is Lynd not joining?" Ceasar asked.
"No. He doesn't want to make Alean jealous." Seeker answered.
"They're ready for you, my Queen." Ceasar suddenly called out.
Another joined in the call. It was a woman of terrifying beauty.
The moment she appeared, everyone began to utilize their power.
The Tyrant Empress gave a beautiful and enchanting smile.
"Quera Sapphire." Richie called out the real name of the Tyrant Empress and deep anger.
"Oh, Lioncourt. How I wish to devour you. And Richie! Your sound even managed to find its way here." She smiled.
Lioncourt had turned his hand into a fist. And somehow, halfway across the world, the power of his Realm grabbed on and sealed the Quera'spower.
"What an amazing Realm! My praises to you, Realm King. Your power cable holds me in place and keeps my powers from spreading. The two of you seemed to have taken this opportunity to trap and observe my progress. Right now, I'm just a beautiful woman to you now, right?" Quera laughed.
"I'm not that stupid to dare and resist your beauty without any preparations. I have to do this so that we are slowly introduced to your power."
Everybody except Ceasar and Meng had a guarded expression.
"Hmm. It's quite annoying to be sealed like this. I didn't even affect Meng!"
"Of course, you can't. I'm with him." Rosa glared.
"Ah, Rosa. My sweet child. Try as you may, but I'll always be the face the mirror shows if asked to reveal the fairest of the land." She smiled.
"I don't have to be the most beautiful for everyone. I just need to be the most beautiful in his eyes. Your real competition would be her, the Empress of the Sun."
Quera smiled and gave a delicious looked at Meryl.
"You've grown beautiful." She praised.
"Not beautiful enough to outshine you." Meryl frowned and had a disappointed look.
"Jealousy that trumps vanity! Your desire to outshine me is so strong that it's not affecting you right now. You're getting closer to becoming an Overcomer."
"Well, this is good." Seeker sighed in relief.
"And here I thought I would be fighting a strange battle." Seeker smiled.
Jake was amazed as he saw the woman. His heart was beating faster as he continued to gaze longingly towards her.
"And who is that little boy? It seems that you and Meryl are actually accomplices in strange activities. So the rumors about you and Lynd are true." Quera nodded.
Seeker sighed and rolled his eyes but did not bother to defend himself.
"Anyways, I'm here to show you this little experiment that Arthur has."
"That is Jake. He is human experiment that was apprehended by the New Great Britain government. His real identity should be linked as a seed of Lost Primordial. The government experimented on him, and soon he managed to escape. I've been training him since then. He should be a Ranked Hero by now, right Zeek?"
"Yes. I approve of him being in the Ranking. He is stronger than the three Commanders of Cliff's team but should fail to the current power of the Covenant of the Strongest with Kristine. And his powers are passing through objects. His powers allow him to pass through all of the three dimensions, and even some in the dimensions beyond."
"Oh? What an interesting science. You have to let me meet with him." Lioncourt added.
"That's what I'm here to propose. I want everyone to start attacking the Presiders. We are to start the prequel of the Apocalypse now. Overcomers, you have to start the war in Egypt. Arthur, you have to save your sister now. I am requesting Rai and his assassins to perform a joint operation with my squadrons. We're going after Lanterk."
"Why all of a sudden? Did my little battles here in South America cause any problems?" Amir asked.
"No. Not that. A certain event has happened, and resolving it now takes precedence. Garenjazz paid a visit to me and used a strange power that walked in my dreams. This forced my grandma to blow her cover and had to appear in front of me and that Presider. And by the way, Lennox. Screw you."
"Is your grandmother alright?" Eagle asked worriedly.
"Yes. Garenjazz retreated. But with his power, it's possible now for him to get more information from the Unlocked. We have to tighten our security and make it appear that we are indeed part of the Lost Primordial or the Progenitor faction. Who knows what will happen if he appears to someone else? My Grandmother's appearance made him believe the lie of me being a Presider or a Principal's son. But we can't keep this facade any longer."
"So we start now instead of waiting for the other Presiders who is yet to arrive?" Lennox asked.
"Yes. Originally, we planned to wait and see all Presiders to analyze the strengths of all Presiders, the ones here and those that are yet to arrive. But now, we have to strengthen our foundations as we risk being exposed. Arthur. Will there be problems? And why are you guys taking too long in Egypt?"
"There are no problems with war. And as for our lengthy stay here, Egypt is far stronger than we gave it credit for. Even when we fought against Shakstress, Andronze never revealed the truth. Hers is a secret that may have started even before World War III. In any case, I have already set plans in case someone like Garenjazz can threaten our secret, and we have already prepared Egypt for this to distract everyone. We will start the war and aid the rise of Egypt. Andronze should be a Top-Tier level now. We helped her unlock the power of the Lost Primordial. And she will challenge Garenjazz."
"Top-Tier? How?" Hermes was amazed.
"She's been hiding her aces. There are several reasons why she is strong now. The first is that she already had the Lost Primordial's legacy hidden deep inside Egypt. She had been studying it for a long, long time. In fact, even before she arrived on Earth, she had already been studying it but kept it a secret. The second is the number of people serving her. She has the most number of people serving under her command among all Presiders. In fact, even if we combine all the Pioneers and Planteds serving all the other Presiders, the number of people that she commands is still greater. I estimate somewhere more than a million Pioneers."
"So that's why Lennox killed millions in Egypt. They were all Pioneers!" Seeker recalled a detail on his previous life of how Lennox attacked and massacred Egypt.
"Yes. And I was only counting the Pioneers. Adding the population of those humans serving in this mysterious underground kingdom, she roughly has eight million. All geared up and ready for a Presider-level war."
