Chapter 607  Too Smooth

The small hovercraft moved out with great speed as Seeker became the distraction that drew many of the forces toward them.

Seeker fought at the center and used his powers of flight and the ice sword to demolish the enemies' attacks.

Gunfire and lasers were rained down on Seeker from all directions, but Seeker could simply pass through the blanket of attacks and slip into close range and destroy the approaching hovercrafts.

Numerous large Exoskeletons appeared, and Seeker immediately identified them as an improved version of the Dawn soldiers of Australia. But some of these exoskeletons revealed powerful heat and lightning energy and began to shoot down on Seeker.

Seeker began to evade the attack and watched in curiosity at the weaponry of the Pioneers.

"Either this is one outstanding Pioneer, or a Presider is hiding among these people... It looks like this rescue mission is not as simple as it seems..." Seeker observed. His Zone told him that he should make it that he was losing.

Seeker dove in and slashed at the bulky flaming Exoskeleton.

SLASH!

But Seeker released the power of the ice sword, and it broke. Instantly, he retreated and created ice shields that blocked the incoming attack.

"Whichever Presider hides here! Let go of my allies! Or else!" Seeker shouted as he retreated back.

Cecilia was startled at Seeker's words.

"So they are Pioneers of Presider Haresha... But do they have any secrets regarding that technology?" Cecilia couldn't help but wonder as Seeker sped off with a great speed that the rest couldn't keep up.

"Send out the Scavengers! Find that man!" Cecilia demanded.

From the base deep inside the tunnels, numerous jets that could carry only a single person sped out and moved.

It was so fast that it instantly reached mach one and flew into the tunnel where Seeker retreated.

But as they flew towards the tunnel, numerous ships suddenly skidded off and crashed on the tunnel's walls, exploding into the walls.

BOOM! BOOM!

Cecilia cursed as she saw the sudden explosions. There were no fluctuations or any discernable causes for the sudden change in the ship's directions.

The other ships began to panic as they flew and tried to regain the chaos of their formation. But many more began to crash and slide toward the other ships.

"Stop! Retreat! There is an invisible obstacle appearing!" Cecilia cursed.

"Report. Whose techs are similar to that?!"

"...Searching for telekinetic sources. We can link this two to the fallen Presider Terxar... But he was devoured by..."

"...My ex-husband." Cecilia's expression darkened.

"I want all our forces out to guard the entrance. Set detectors to scan for cold fusion technology. And I want all the Gigas and Gargantuants guarding our walls! Bring out all our forces!" Cecilia ordered.

The forces began to retreat. The Scavengers dove and searched the wreckage of the crashed ships and searched for survivors.

A large wing was removed, and under it, a wounded and bloodied man wearing a shattered mask with a grotesque face was seen.

"He's still alive! Get him back to the hospital wing!" The commander of the Scavenger Squadron ordered, and a large ship appeared using teleportation and began to take the fallen pilot while the rest stood guard.

Soon, the ships retreated.

Seeker sighed at how easy it was to infiltrate the enemy. Finally, his zone had led him to the right place. He was the wounded pilot who took advantage of the chaos and allowed the ship to crash on his body. He burned the pilot's body and used the cells in his body to replicate the suit. With his knowledge, and his foundational ability to use Lynd's powers that can copy tech and the nanotech blood cells that could transform into his weapons on command, he could easily copy the suit to the last detail.

As he was being brought inside, the hovercraft of the group had already infiltrated the fortress thanks to Irvana, Jake, and Rai's powers.

It used stealth, slipping through walls, and warp leaps that allowed the group to hide deep inside an empty garage.

"Did you see it? On that last jump through the Void Realm." Rai asked as they shut down the ship they drove.

"Yes. Universe Energy is being gathered here. A Presider is here!" Irvana frowned.

"A Presider?!" Ninalet was shocked.

"It looked like...a Top Tier. I remember Lanterk's ship to have that when I dove down into his core on our last battle." Jake spoke.

"Then it must be that. A Top Tier that was defeated and hid here..."

"Then we have to get my friends and get out of here!" Ninalet exclaimed.

"Ha! Right! Seeker Carlean will flee when there is a foe to devour. And I'm sure Rai here wants to have fun. You're with two Overcomers here. There can only be war." Jake shook his head.

"With thoughts like that, you can never be an Overcomer, Jake. You should welcome adversities like this."

"Arthur has led me around into believing that Kristine likes me but is being cuckolded by eight men! Lowengren even toyed around at one point and made me think Kristine slept with over thirty men in one night! And all of that was a lie! If I don't become an Overcomer on sheer hatred to murder Lowengren and Arthur, then nothing will!" Jake exploded in anger and surprised the two.

"Calm down. You should be happy that all of them were not true." Seeker suddenly appeared and stood before them.

"You're here already? That was fast, even for you." Rai laughed.

"This Presider lost their Zone. It's as if our enemy cannot make any right decisions. Either that or my Zone grew stronger. I'm sure you noticed it. Universe Energy is in here. This is a rare chance to fight and claim the Presider's powers here. It could even be one of the Pig Five! My Zone is even telling me that it's one of them!" Seeker smiled.

"How are we going to fight them? Isn't it dangerous to fight them head-on? Won't the other Presiders attack?"

"It is dangerous. But it's a good thing we have a team of assassins. We can kill the Presider without alerting the rest. If this enemy can't even counter Zone... then we are already victorious." Irvana answered.

Rai also nodded.

"That's true."

But Jake had a strange expression.

"...I don't know. It feels... too smooth. Whenever this happens, I feel like something will happen." Jake frowned.

"You mean like Kristine will get rapped again? You've become too suspicious, Jake!" Irvana laughed.

"Actually..." Seeker, however, had a bizarre look.

"He's right!"

"What?"

"Our arrival and how we have been succeeding. It's too smooth! It's supposed to be dangerous! Our enemy knows we are here! Yet my Zone is telling me that we can easily win this! Something is wrong!"

At that moment, Rai also had a strange expression.

"He's right! Why haven't we noticed it? We have to assume that Presider Haresha is observing us! And even Principal Dormin is here. Yet our zones... It's leading us to the right places. It's like a series of coincidences!" Rai exclaimed.

"What are you guys talking about?" Irvana asked.

"Who is our real enemy here? Is it Haresha?"

"...No. It's Principal Dormin."

something crazy and idiotic. If he doesn't, then we have no hope of surviving this place." Seeker frowned.

"Right. Imagine his zone. Imagine his power that could easily be two times stronger than Garenjazz's! He could easily orchestrate all the battles happening here! Everything happening could be acting out what he has planned or already knows!"

"Even our attempts to assassinate the enemy?"

"Right. Do we follow this plan or not?"

"...I knew it felt weird. Ever since we arrived, I felt like I was walking into another trap of Arthur."

"Arthur said he wanted to create a World Champion. He could have been preparing you for something like this. Who knows? Maybe your path is slowly moving in the direction of a Zone! Trust these strange, fearful feelings, Jake. This could be our alarm that we are headed to a trap." Seeker added.

"...Well, I'm glad my pain can save the world. But what do we do now? Right now, I have a feeling that I am going into a trap and that Kristine will be toyed around by random men." Jake answered.

"...You may think about changing your analogies. But since we are assuming that our enemy here is more powerful and more knowledgeable than Garenjazz... Then we have to wait. That's why we brought Vender here. Only he could change the flow of things here."

"Then we have to tell Lowengren! I'm sure Vender doesn't know about this!"

"Don't worry. Vender doesn't need to know. If we are all moving according to the plan of Principal Dormin... then it's only a matter of time before that Vender will do something crazy and idiotic. If he doesn't, then we have no hope of surviving this place." Seeker frowned.

"So we can't do the assassination just yet. Then should we rescue Ninalet's allies?"

"... I guess we should try. Jake. Trust your paranoia. If it's telling you things could get bad, believe it. Rai. Irvana. We can't trust our zone. Find a way to hack into the systems of this ship. We need information on Lowengren's team. If they did something crazy, then maybe only then can we act!" Seeker ordered.
