Lowengren and the rest of the fathers were being sent down deeper into the different floors of the large serpent.

All fathers used their respective Paths to understand the massive beast.

"It was painful for us. We didn't know where you were as Presider only gave us ways to see you and learn your current emotional state. It was even more painful to watch some of you grow. Some even became older than us. We didn't know how you were and if you were in pain..." Lowengren cried.

"Father! Our lives here are quite good! As you can see, the techs that Presider left to us, her sons and daughters, are the very best!" One of the sons declared.

"It would really make us happy to know more about the techs. This entire fortress is the pinnacle of what Presider Andronze has! We've always wanted to know the real power of Egypt!" Harker spoke the truth.

"Then allow us to give you a quick tour as we head over the heart of the Serpent. Seth lies in there along with other techs of the mysterious entity. It will still take a while, so allow us to reveal many things!" One of the daughters smiled and began to explain every scientific protocol the ship had.

And so, the full techs of Andronze that were applied in the massive serpent were revealed.

Gardo began to throw in numerous jokes making the entire trip great fun, bonding time between the fathers and the children that weren't really theirs.

The design of the serpent was far larger than the King Naga of the SPU. Its architecture was very detailed and had numerous shocking techs. The full power of Dug Down Deep Technology was on full display.

"Earth Hardening... So this is the one thing Lennox never had. Even with the techs we managed to steal, Dug Down Deep was still an impossible power to replicate!" Harker observed. He had been studying Dug Down Deep techs even in Egypt and couldn't understand how despite the massive underground caverns, Egypt's land never collapsed. Even with all the massive caverns and tunnels underground, launching weapons of mass destruction won't even cause a collapse.

"So Dug Down Deep Technology is not just moving the earth, but it's a science of compressing it or fusing it. It remains strong and stable even though the caverns and massive tunnels were made." The Commander proudly explained to his father the sciences that were there.

"The application is unique. Unlike the restructuring tech of Pridgeon, which allows him to alter static objects and even pass through them, Dug Down Deep actually moved and altered the matters in a way that it can forcibly combine the matter into one."

"But what is the Power Source? This technology requires a lot of power. And from the looks of it, it needs to alter the dimensions." Lowengren asked.

"It's drawing its power from Seth. This ship can wield and use Universe Energy through Seth even if Presider Andronze is far away."

Gardo and Vender began to ask questions, and Vender began to speak in concern and fear for the diets while Lowengren continued to analyze what these Andronze clones said.

The group moved in deeper, and the more they moved inside the ship, the more they realized a horrifying truth.

The ship was alive.

And not only that, the presence and power that it had felt like they were in a foreign Realm. It was as if the ship itself was an Unlocked or a Presider, and it had Zone that was slowly fighting off everyone.

"So that's why I feel uncomfortable." Vender muttered suddenly in a different frequency.

"I felt that the Zone that I have become weird. Sorry for acting on my own again." Vender apologized.

"If you didn't, we would have been caught. Your stopping the Zone of everyone was just timely enough. This Serpent would have felt something strange going on and alerted Andronze!" Lowengren answered.

"We have to work outside of Zone to get out of here alive..." Harker frowned.

"That's difficult..." Gardo also had a complicated expression.

"No, it's not. Everyone, this will be our test! The weakness of our powers is Realm and Zone! Arthur nearly got owned in the battle against Shakstress. And if we used our powers on Shakstress, she would have figured us out easily! We have to learn the power of Vender!"

"My sweet rap skills?"

"Just shut up!" Lowengren cursed.

"Everyone, as Harker said, we have to work outside of Zone. Zone is a power that is close to prophesy. Even Andronze managed to develop it in a short time. And I'm sure most Presiders will also have this. It's a power that breaches through the known dimensions. It places the person into a spot in the universe where they can feel every string, ripple, and flow of things that we would call destiny or fate! We need to come to the point that all our Paths combine!"

"Is that even possible? We aren't Seeker or Lynd!" Gardo frowned.

"I think we can. The Nefilus Body is a physical body that allows the person to connect with the dimensions beyond easily. While there is a way to create tools and weapons to alter the dimensions beyond, it will have its limits. The version of Universe Energy that the WGP has, Origin energy, is probably at the peak of what it can do. They can't improve because they need a physical body that can make alterations."

"Where are you going with this?" Harker asked.

"The Lost Primordial must have found a power that surpasses the Nefilus Body. He might have even found an even superior power! But the Lost Primordial's purpose was not similar to the Nefilus Body to create one strong being! Our Progenitor plans to create various Paths and merge them in Unity! So all our powers were all intentionally made to be incomplete." Lowengren explained.

"And Seeker was the key!" Harker finally understood.

"Right. The discoveries of Seeker in Unity are the key. We've already been exposed to the recent cells of Seeker. The Lost Primordial intended us to unite our power. Seeker himself is the very messiah he prepared, which will create a timeline where Unity would be possible! The scattered seeds were supposed to unite developed powers individually. That is why even without the Nefilus body, we developed Realm! It's more advanced that Origin, but it's not as powerful as Universe Energy. And we already have seen how Seeker hijacks or uses the Realm of others. Even these weaponized Paths of the Overcomers and how Seeker, Cliff, and the rest could harness it!" Lowengren began to explain. But what he said used his power of deception.

"I can tell that you are lying. You don't really know if that's true. But you have enough facts to make me want to believe you." Harker smiled.

"In short, we should all unite right here and right now. We have to become one." Vender nodded.

"... Why is it when you say it, it's always strange and... creepy?" Gardo frowned.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a trembling occurred. The power of Zone began to create massive pressure on them, and they felt a great threat.

A trembling was happening, and even the Andornze Clones were wondering what was happening.

"Welp... This is it. Do or die." Lowengren chuckled as he felt the power of Zone conflicting.

Vender somehow couldn't speak anymore. It was as if the words he wanted to say couldn't come out. The will of the Serpent and the Zone it demanded overpowered him.

Everyone felt it and began to close their eyes and concentrate. Finally, they all released their Realm. In that moment of crisis, they could somehow feel each other's Realm.

But as they started to sense each other, they could feel a sinister weight press over them. It was as if their insignificant and tiny forms stood before the massive Serpent.

Lowengren and the rest suddenly changed their expressions as they felt the strange presence of the serpent. From fear and intimidation to shock.

"That Realm... It's..."

"Arthur?" Vender finally managed to speak. He spoke and somehow broke out of the trance he was in and found himself in the room once more.

The Andornze Clone was confused as Vender suddenly muttered something.

"Fathers! Please do not worry! This Serpent may be moving! It has a form of sentience, and even we are unable to control it. Only Presider Andronze can." One of the Andronze clones spoke.

"It's alright..." Lowengren laughed.

"We weren't afraid. We were just... so amazed. We were trying to feel the power of this ship." Lowengren made his lies.

"That was... Arthur!" Harker spoke to the rest in a different frequency.

"Arthur? I thought it was Lennox!" Gardo was stunned.

"No. It was neither. I think I understand now. Andronze can't create that massive Zone if she used Seth's dead body alone! Someone has to command it! The body is the physical object that allows the alteration of the dimensions beyond! But that Zone was alive! Can science bestow a true mind that can use Zone to a ship? No! In this ship is someone who can harness the power beyond the dimensions beyond is working together with Seth's body! That was the person we felt!"

"Then who is it?" Vender asked.

"Isn't it obvious? You broke the power of that Serpent at one word! That proves it! The power of the Zone! The power of that Realm that sought for us! It can only come from the other secret experiment of Andronze! Arthur's sister!"

"Guinevere!" Vender was so shocked he spoke out loud once more.

But before the Andronze Clone could react, the entire ship went into a massive trembling.
