Chapter 582 The One Seated On The Throne
Ever since Seeker and his friends met with the Emperors and Empresses of the Everhiss family, the plan to acquire the Throne had been the primary concern of the Everhiss clan.
Two Thrones were secretly placed on two specific locations where the Origin energy was being made to fill the Earth.
The first Throne was in the Antarctic Region. But now, the entire Antarctic Region has been a moving continent as it was revealed that the whole Ice continent was now a fortress and that the ice was made of harnessed Origin energy.
The Worlds Helm and the Arctic regions were the strongest fortresses of the WGP. But the summit of all Emperors was decidedly held on the Worlds Helm due to the plans to disconnect the many structures that made up this building and where all land would go to the respective families that made the portion of the Worlds Helm.
But deep inside, it was the secret of the Everhiss clan.
The seat and Throne of the Progenitor was a secret that only three people within the Everhiss family knew and guarded this secret. It could only be passed on to the main members of the clan in another member of the clan died. It was kept this way until the battle in the Kraken when one member who knew this truth, Miranne, was kidnapped. Since the terms 'Lost Primordial' and 'Seeds' made rounds worldwide, the remaining two members decided to inform the clan. When Seeker met with the Everhiss clan for the first time, this secret was revealed to all family members.
The powers of the Throne that the Everhiss family had been only a very small portion. The history of the science behind Origin energy came to be had been altered and dispersed. Files and history were rewritten, with only some oral traditions being passed down within the Everhiss family.
The rest of the WGP believed they created a massive machine churning Origin energy because of a spatial anomaly within a strange meteorite that fell. The two stones were housed in the center where the massive power plants and reactors were made. They didn't know that the spatial anomaly was caused by another device placed within.
Still, the entire room where the Origin energy was made was heavily guarded, and breaking through the many gates and walls was too taxing and costly even for the Overcomers.
And so, everyone else fought, and Lennox was hijacking damaged Rules and forcing the Emperors and Empresses to unlock the gates.
Others were enticed and forced by the fighters to open the gates or face death.
Numerous gates were opened, and those not opened would be bypassed through the Paths until they finally reached the Throne.
As the group observed the inconspicuous chair, they used their Realm to sense the peculiarities.
"Are you sure this is it?" Seeker asked.
"Yes. I asked Phoenix, and he told me the Throne would look like an ordinary seat. That is how it was hidden from everyone. I've been calculating the flow of the Origin Energy and used my Realm to sense it." Arthur approached.
"Sense what? I can't sense anything!" Lynd frowned.
"Exactly. This place has no realm altogether." Lioncourt smiled.
"I nearly failed to notice it. As expected of the Prophet Daniel!"
"What is he talking about?" Meryl turned to Seeker.
"The energy that this seat release surpasses Universe, Origin, or Realm. In this room, you would feel Origin Energy like the wind. But that place has nothing."
"Yeah... I still don't get it."
"Imagine putting your hand deep in water. You could feel the water. But the energy that this seat is leaking, while similar to Origin, is different. If you put your hand in this pond, you would feel like there is no water there." Arthur explained.
"It's a sneaky way to hide it. No wonder even the Presiders couldn't sense it! It's a Realm or energy that cannot be detected. So even if we harness all the realms we are harnessing, we won't be able to sense anything from it."
"Then how do we activate it or awaken it? If all our guesses our right, this is the final seed that the Progenitor placed. So what will draw out the Progenitor?" Rai asked.
"Unity." Seeker and Lynd answered together.
"We saw the vision when we achieved Unity," Lynd added.
"Yes. But Unity between two can be deceptive. I don't think your Unity alone would be enough. We have seen Presiders that have used fraudulent means to become Conquerors. Myrth was one of them. So it has to be several."
"Then let's try it. Seeker and Lynd will be at the center. And we try to create Unity by merging our Paths."
"We haven't done this with more than three individuals," Meryl spoke.
"Yes. Are we all supposed to join in? The energy of this combination will be immense. We will waste a lot of energy doing that! And it will startle those Presiders above!"
"Yes. They would be forced to use much of their power if they sense it."
"That's one scenario. But if we do this, and if my guess is right, the power surge out of this Throne will also be immense. It will be so immense and mysterious that, at minimum, it would seem like a Principal has come!" Arthur explained.
"If you're wrong... we get bombarded by attacks, and it will drain our energies a lot! We cannot make attacks that will reach or hit Pridgeon." Seeker asked.
"Are you... saying that I'm wrong?"
"...No." Seeker retreated from his line of questioning.
"Let's do it," Arthur ordered.
"Alright." Seeker closed his eyes. The power of Unity emerged. The battle against Garenjazz, where they fought within the Realm of the dreamworld, had improved the team's ability to be linked with others. Their training moving ahead of those had made them improve their strength, and finally, the end goal of the Way in creating people who can wield different paths was possible.
Those within the circle of Unity would share their realms and merge them with everyone within the circle. Each Unlocked would still be the source of their paths, but the rest could wield it as they pleased.
The power of Unity was the peak of their battle techniques. The energy that rose surpassed the sensors of numerous weapons of mass destruction.
A strange power began to ripple out.
Pridgeon and Lanterk sensed the changes and could tell it was within the center of the WGP.
"They masked the sound for that! They were preparing something!" Pridgeon cursed.
"Lanterk!"
Lanterk followed as was their agreement.
He moved and pushed his hands forward. From his side of the portal, his palm pushed out of the portal.
The power of Lanterk's control over metal was surging out, and the world's laws were bowing to him.
But he froze as Lanterk gathered the power to change the laws and make all metal bend to his will.
No one could see it, but everyone felt a strange sensation worldwide. Lanterk stopped as the strange presence began to affect the world around him.
All of the matter within the region stopped as if all the world's laws were being destroyed and rewritten. A new world with new rules was appearing.
"What... is this?!" Pridgeon retreated.
"Get back! That power! Dimensional Purging! It's a Principal's power! That could be the Lost Primordial! Retreat!" Lanterk shouted as the energy rippled out.
A small push made a very small opening in a door. But all Principals and Primes, or even the Babelians who had reached this level, could feel it.
Somewhere... in the endless stars, a being opened his eyes and was shocked.
"Heaven...?! Heaven has opened?!"
The cracking of the door was swift. But the Primordial was furious.
"You...! You have just crossed there because you are dead! I will cross over there because I am God!" The Primordial vowed.
Back on Earth...
Seeker and the rest were all glowing with a bright light. They were standing before the Throne. But now, a person was seated on the Throne.
"Oh? So many of you. Hmm... Did you think drawing me out needed Unity? Well... sort of. But the trigger was the Transfigured form. The form of a New Creation." The old man smiled.
"You...!" Seeker was amazed.
The man had the face of a man and the form of a man. But his features were that of light.
"Lost Primordial?" Lynd guessed. This was the same person that they saw in the vision when they first managed to use Unity.
"Yes. I am the Seed that had to die. If I didn't die, I would never have seen the sun and sprouted." The old man smiled.
"Good job, my dear children! You have sprouted well and have turned the legacy of a New Creation! Our enemies take blood and flesh from the Nefilus, but we are new creations! The old has passed! The new has come!"
