In the deep sea southeast of the South American continent...

The small submarine continued to move deeply and finally entered Lanterk's territory.

Seeker, Lynd, Meryl, and Cliff would serve as the vanguard of the attack.

Cliff would become the front line Commander and wore the powerful Exoskeleton armor called the Funneling General's Exoskeleton. It was an Exoskeleton armor given to the strongest members of the front line. Cliff had proven his worth when he fought Lynd, and now this armor would finally make its debut against Aragarian foes.

Seeker had a strange car next to him, the same car he used in his fight against Lennox. And Lynd had two strange round orbs and another Funneling General's Exoskeleton.

Meryl had an Exoskeleton skinsuit of bright white and some strange devices on her hand that allowed her to harness her power.

"Is it alright that we are moving with these gears and weapons? I thought we were to limit the techs and weaponry we have and only show the bare minimum at all costs. And now, we're here with our most powerful gear."

"Don't you ever want to use this? We've been experimenting on them, and I never even got to wear the Funneling General's Exoskeleton." Cliff laughed.

"I do. But we hid this for so long, and right now, we are just going to show it all?" Meryl asked. The suit she wore was already completed a while back. But she was never allowed to use it in all the clashes and fights she had to perform in secret or in broad daylight.

"The ocean is the perfect place to fight. We've confirmed that with the Presider's techs, Pridgeon and even Shakstress don't have the techs to see the events and battles at the very bottom of it. So only Lanterk will see these techs. And our previous traps in allying and meeting with these Underwater Cities have worked. Most of them already have fake reports and videos that Lourca Oviili managed to spread in those bases secretly will make Lanterk think that Earth has always had secret battles between the Lost Primordial and the Progenitor at sea." Lynd explained.

"That old Pioneer is very impressive and brave. To think she actually passed the spy training program." Meryl admired.

"Are you sure you want to be in the vanguard, Meryl? Then, we could use you as a secret weapon and send you out at the last minute." Seeker asked.

"I've grown to love the battlefield, Zeek. I'd be bored if you kept me for the best part. Besides, our plan is to let Jake enter as soon as the battle starts. So it's better that you bring me out. Danny and I can even do a little dance for him. He should be pissed." Meryl laughed.

"General Seeker." Kristine reported as she wore her golden armor.

"We are ready to fight," Kristine reported.

"You look beautiful in that, Kristine. My fanboy heart is now affected seeing you like this." Seeker praised.

"Remember this the next time you're with Zeraphine then..."

"Ugh. Get a room, you two."

"Kristine. I still can't root for you. I'm still team Alphie. She loved Seeker more than you in the past." Meryl defiantly declared.

"I would want Alphie to have her beautiful happily ever after. But I also want mine. Especially since Seeker's been cruel to me in this life." Kristine chuckled.

"Can we stop with the love talks? The fight is about to start. Zeek. The other ships are about to be in position. My drug dealers, Meryl's Twelve Disciples, and the Commanders of your Gyrphon Squadron are about to reach their respective positions. The Void Assassin has also arrived, and Rosa's sisters are here."

"Those Peak Inhumans? I doubt Roselia would join, though. That girl is head over heels for Lowengren.

"Where is Lowengren? Aren't they headed for Straviaa?"

"Yes. They have to leave Egypt and allow the war between the Tyrant Empress and Richie, Hermes, and Akasha's team to escalate into full war. And then, after Arthur and Lowengren deal with Straviaa, Lennox will join and return with Arthur to Egypt. It's all within Arthur's estimation. I guess Arthur is making the most of the time and knows when it's best for him to return. I'm sure Roselia wanting to meet his fiance, Lowengren, is within his calculation." Seeker shrugged.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"We are all awaiting you, Progenitor." Lynd smiled as he called Seeker's temporary code name.

"Let's go. Time to trim down this Kid's horns!" Seeker laughed, and they launched themselves out of the ship.

Down the depths of the ocean, Lanterk had just completed another conquest, and the last of the Underwater cities in the region had been devoured. His originally small, portable ship had turned into a large fortress even larger than Shakstress's ship.

The ship had numerous levels, and each underwater city that it managed to take over was randomly connected and assimilated, forming a peculiar ship that had a unique shape. The cities that it fell in the 'sea of cities' that even had WGP secret facilities were all captured and uprooted. Lanterk used his technology and employed Perfect Magnetism to shape his base into his own.

At the very core of this strangely shaped ship was a large throne room, and seated on this throne was Lanterk.

He remained to be in a foul mood, and the slightest recollection of what he went through in the past months enraged him all the more. By the time he realized that the girl he was chasing after already knew who and what he was, he had already gone through great moments of embarrassment and was out of focus.

Meryl was actually one of the greatest experiments of the Progenitor! The deception that he and Zeraphine encountered in the World Governing Trading Hub was well hidden. He played his part in trying to win Meryl's heart and struggled with the painful and heart-wrenching sensation of the many incidents, which made him believe that Meryl and Danny had very intimate sessions. But soon, he realized that it was all a plot.

Danny had suddenly attacked him, and the skills that Danny revealed were very similar to the powers that the Piercing character of Danny had! He fled from their grasp when the situation seemed suspicious and decided to make his base when the presider Wars were officially announced.

It was only then the information he got from the numerous underwater cities, and the records of the battles they had with the Progenitor was revealed.

The Covenant were all experiments of the Progenitor, and Danny was one of the next generations as the Lost Primordial killed the former 'berserker'. There were many inconsistencies in the reports as to the timeline and what he had seen and confirmed in the World Governing Trading Hub. But the fact that he focused on was that he, a secret Principal, was deceived!

The memories came flooding back as Lanterk detected Meryl. There was also a strange Exoskeleton that had the form of what looked like a car.

"That Progenitor wants war? I'll show them why my other incarnations are Principals!" Lanterk became angry, and his perception became that of the entire ship.

The power of Universe Energy and his Soul Bestowing Tech allowed him to turn the entire ship to be part of his body.

He could see all directions and angles of his ship and even see what was happening inside. Because of this technology, he didn't feel threatened in taking over vast cities. Most believed that he killed or controlled the inhabitants forcibly. But the truth was, he was the ship, and no one could escape his eyes.

The massive form of Lanterk gazed on the small submarine that was reaching his range.

Seeker zoomed to the front and laughed. Even though they were underwater, the sound of Seeker's laugh echoed around Lanterk.

"Principal Alexander Lanterk." Seeker laughed. But this time, the Adult Seeker took control. And unlike the previous times this Adult controlled Seeker's body, the Adult was now leaking out the full force of his soul, which had improved thanks to the training the Adult had with Nogard. As a result, Seeker's Adult soul now manifested a strange Realm that was different from Seeker's original soul.

"Progenitor, I assume."

"Charmed to meet you. I don't think I've met your other incarnations at home."

"Who are you?" Lanterk asked.

"The Progenitor. It's sort of difficult to explain with all the Principals, Primes, and possibly the Primordial altering the timelines. I think I died in three timelines fighting you, though."

Lanterk was alarmed at Seeker's words and frowned.

"What are you talking about?"

"You'll find out soon enough. Anyway, I'm here to pay my dues to Shakstress. I promised to hurt you for betraying her."

"Betraying her?"

"We're related. Wasn't it you who sold her out to the Lost Primordial?"

"I did no such thing! I was busy being led by that bitch next to you! And where is your son?! Send him here! I don't sense his soul around!"

"If I die here, someone has to carry on my seed. Why did you think I made Zeraphine marry my son?" Seeker sneered.

"But enough talk. Now is the time to die. Meryl. Would you be so kind as to attack this simp? Let's see if he will allow himself to be killed by you as the inner simp in him will take over." Seeker laughed.

"Yes, Progenitor!" Meryl took to the front.

"Hey, Small Willy!' Meryl laughed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The entire fortress began to reform as weapons and cannons began to reorganize themselves and move as if the entire ship had massive conveyor belts around.

"His Universe Energy and his technology is magnetism. You feel it, Lynd?"

"Yeah. It's like every metal has eyes. How can Jake steal techs like this?" Lynd laughed.

"That's why he has to Overcome! Besides, it isn't like his omnipresent. Let's do an Aragon and keep the Great Eye's attention busy while Rai delivers the package! Let's go!" Seeker charged forward as the massive ship that held numerous underwater cities began to open fire on Seeker and his small team.
