Arthur kept issuing commands to Chase Brender, who, like Sammy, had a portion of Richie's sound.

The group created several points of transmission that helped them mask the origin of the sound.

Yet even this plan was about to be countered.

Arthur was trying to keep up at the speed and pace of orders that Shakstress was making.

"Her pace in fixing the issues we made is being resolved. Although there are no signs that she managed to figure out that we are disguising ourselves as Planted, we have to assume that it's within this possibility. Richie, the moment we lose contact with each other, you are to reveal yourself and start fighting. Create a commotion, but do not go all out. She has to believe that we are a suicide squad sent to die! Everyone, you must remember that every action you take is to add confusion to this ship and-"

"I lost contact!" Chase Brender suddenly reported.

Even with the careful plot of Arthur, Shakstress was easily able to overcome it through the application of her technology.

As expected, Shakstress did something that quickly ended the ingenious method of communication that could not be countered if used against any other nation on Earth. The compression, shrinking, and expansion of space created a distortion of the dimensions in their ship that changed the rules of how sound traveled.

The group was now in the dark.

"Oh? It already happened? It's far earlier than I expected. I guess we can only hope that everyone here can overcome and that no one dies."

"That sounds very unlike you. From what I heard, you are a master tactician. Sammy even wanted to be paired with you in this mission."

"Seeker told me that my mistake in the future was always trying to fix things personally. I didn't trust others as much as I should. In this life, I plan to do what I can do to the best, but at the same time, give opportunities for all of the Unlocked to grow. It's a risky way of thinking. But I can't afford to do that in the future. It has to be now, in this battle where the stakes aren't high. Let's go!"

Chris and Grace finally reached the medical facility by being dragged in by the Planteds ordered to deliver the wounded.

The pair had visible metal pierced through them, and they were groaning in pain.

Their masks were also burnt, and their faces had terrifying burns.

Their critical condition forced the on-board doctors to immediately sent them inside the ward.

The pair were carried over into the central ward. Inside the ward, huge capsules and beds with different devices on the top were being used. Several patients were waiting in line as the more severe cases were brought in first.

"Nothing we can do with this one. She's burned. That energy attack from the Presider can't be cured. Toss her to the side. Send in the next Planted."

"No! Please no! I can still live!"

Despite the desperate pleading of the woman, she was ignored, and the nurses pressed a switch that threw the dying woman off the bed and brought in another wounded patient.

Many wounded were brought in because of Andronze's attack, which tore a hole in the ship. The assistants and nurses didn't even bother to ask who they were.

"Have you found a doctor?" Grace asked with a worried tone.

"No. No one can save us!" Chris answered. The pair spoke in codes even while talking in another frequency that the nurses who were bringing them couldn't hear as they feared that the power of the Presider could still hear them. With Arthur's warnings, everyone inside always assumed that the techs of the Presiders could even grant them a form of omnipresence that could filter out their words.

They had a mission. And that mission was to secure the medical chamber so that if any of the others were wounded, they could be healed.

To do that, they needed to find the highest-ranking doctor.

As the pair were being brought deeper inside the ward, Chris and Grace finally heard someone who fitted their category.

"I have orders to prioritize those that are soldiers. It seems that the intruder has snuck in." The voice was not loud. It spoke to the top doctors on duty and told them what their priority was. They have positioned an earshot away from the main ward, but Chris and Grace had the ears to hear it.

Both began to groan as they turned in pain, trying to see who the doctor was.

After seeing who it was, the group was finally brought in a capsule, and the healing process was about to start.

"What's their number?" The doctor in charge frowned.

"Their uniforms were burned up! And they couldn't talk. So we don't know."

"Fingerprints?"

"Burned. Their hands have suffered burns that prevent us from getting a clear search."

"And their faces are also burned... We can't determine if their soldiers. Toss them to the side for now. We'll heal them after we clear three soldiers." The doctor ordered.

"Five... Eight... Three... Alpha," Chris voiced out weakly.

"And... she's Nine Seven Oh Tango." Chris continued.

The doctor heard the pair and typed in the details, and received the alerts.

"Hmp. It's good you managed to talk. So you two are soldiers, after all. Alright. Begin treatment." The doctor ordered.

The group had taken notes of the various soldiers that they met. Every time they saw someone with a different uniform, they killed them and would steal whatever identities they had. All of them had small, handy techs that could be triggered and activated with the Unlocked cells. Weaponized form of Meng's Desolation, Richies's sound, Lennox's thunder, Typical's Needle, the wolf serum of Amir Mann, the flash grenade of Meryl, Rosa's ice blast, and their most recent addition, a blood pill made from the science of Akasha.

Through the individual and combination of these small, undetectable devices, they managed to infiltrate and kill more.

"More of those strange wolf-like creatures appeared nearby! All available or healed soldiers, please comply!" An announcement rang out.

Chris and Grace had injected the wolf serum to create these and made them move freely within the base. Various techs were used to kill them, but the panic and the number of these rapid and madmen created a situation similar to a zombie apocalypse.

The doctor began to hurry with his treatments.

Chris and Grace were concentrating on how to operate the device. It wasn't just the doctor treating them, but they kept looking around to see what the other doctors were doing.

On the other side of the ship, Richie and Sammy looked around.

"Alright. Lead the way, boss!" Sammy immediately moved to the back as their communication with Arthur disappeared.

"You're not sticking around?"

"I will die if I meet that Presider. Looking at these metals used to create the insides of this ship, I am convinced of how hard it is. Some parts of this ship use a metal only a level weaker than the metals used for the Rules of Emperors. If you are going to start a commotion, you'd need to make quite a bang. So I have to retreat. That Shakstress might appear." Sammy sighed.

"I guess you're right. What do you plan on doing?"

"I figured I could try my luck in being a spy. While everyone is focused on looking for any techs they can steal from here, I'll see if I can find something useful for our team. And the best way is to follow where you are wreaking havoc. You go on your rampage and try to stead any techs forcibly. I'll follow along behind pretending to help around while gathering techs."

"Smart. Be careful then. The sound armor can protect you from a powerful attack once. But in a place like this, you would have a high chance of dying if you need to use that sound anyway."

"I more worried about you, Boss. You divided your powers four times. You are not exactly like Hermes. Your sound is way weaker than it was when we caused trouble in the Americas."

"Whether I carry a knife or a gun, I'm still an Overcomer. Besides, this is my way of forcing myself to increase my power."

"Just be the careful boss." Sammy sighed as he retreated. He was very worried about what Richie will do. He had heard Arthur say that Richie shouldn't show too much power. But Sammy had already improved in his ability to sense sound and vibration. But beyond that, he also began to develop the intuitive capabilities of Richie in being able to sense, foresee, and anticipate danger.

He moved back because the sensations that he had felt the moment Arthur disconnected were uncomfortable and terrifying. Sammy had never had this emotion before, even when he accompanied Richie in the raid in the Kraken.

This sensation could only be explained by certain groups of people who will die. And because of that, he knew his boss would do something to change that sensation. He knew that his boss was extremely worried and would do something drastic.

Richie took in a deep breath.

The shout began inside of him, and this sound gave birth to more sounds. The source of the disconnect was made since vacuums began to appear on certain parts of the ship to stop the flow of sounds.

Inspired by the theology of how God 'spoke' the universe into being, Richie was able to find a solution to create it. Seeker had shown a weak version of this power in the Kraken. But Richie, who tread on this Path, knew and could harness a power several times greater than Seeker's attack. He created the sound in him without using any existing matter or molecule.

The birth of these molecules sparked various detectors to react.

Shakstress was busy with her many counter plans, but then she paused when she sensed this.

"Creation? Impossible!" She cursed as she searched for the source."

Richie's goal was to create a sound force that would echo out and produce a strange reaction in the dimension forcing the other dimensions to provide and give birth to new molecules to exist, which would allow vibration to be possible.

This ability touched on a critical science that all Presider's sought after. This was the foundation for them actually to create their source of energy.

"Who is it? Someone has already weaponized True Creation?" Shakstress cursed.

Richie finally released his mighty roar.

The power of the Roar of Judah erupted from his mouth.

"EAGLE MAN!" Richie shouted.

The walls of metal in front of him were crushed as the powerful sound erupted and began to move and break through the walls of metal.

Immediately after the power moved, an Exoskeleton appeared and raised its hands to block the attack.

BOOM!

The powerful attack of Richie ended with a simple wave of the enemy's hand.

"A Supreme Exoskeleton, huh? And this one is from a Top-Tier Presider!" Richie laughed.

Three more appeared on different locations as they blocked the exploding sound attack of Richie that tore through the walls and walls of the ship.

"Let's take this somewhere else." The man piloting the Exoskeleton waved his hand, and the space around them began to shrink. Almost instantly, Richie disappeared along with the four Supreme Exoskeleton.
