The battle against the two Presiders continued to escalate to the favor of Arthur and the two teams that fought with them.

The Covenant of the Strongest had grown greatly since their respective battles against numerous enemies and even against Lanterk.

They were trained and experimented on not only to be the very characters they played but to surpass them. Their powers had risen tremendously that they were theorized to be as strong as Overcomers if led and commanded by Arthur!

And this battle was a testament to this claim.

Arthur's orders were swiftly followed, and most of the time, the group even knew what to do or where to go before Arthur commanded.

The team had been fighting together to perfect their Realm and their Zone. They aimed to develop the Zone that both the Basilisk Squadrons team and Harker's trio had and perfected it.

The group had one Realm and one Zone already. But a mystery occurred when they finally fought with Arthur. The Realm they had grown!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Danny made another wild charge and slashed his sword slashed and exploded as it struck the Throne of Straviaa.

But Straviaa could only concentrate on defense.

The arrangement of the battle gave her no chance to move and counter!

Her Throne was made with a powerful metal crafted by her father. It surpassed the strength that the Top Tiers had! But the constant barrage of attacks was creating great stress and adding unbearable pressure that her Throne was starting to show signs of damage!

Yet no matter what she did, she would only be swallowed in the whirlpool of calculation that Arthur had.

Titan, Dara, and John would all shoot and make their attacks to disrupt Straviaa.

Her beams of weaponized Star Fire and her techs in twirling the dimensions and making the three-dimensions spin in a warped perspective were useless against the Covenant of the Strongest.

Arthur had fought his own secret battles. Apart from the battles with Shackstress, his infiltration in Egypt, and how he challenged Richie and the other Overcomers when they infiltrated Egypt, Arthur was always by the side of Vender, who was so clumsy and often down-right stupid that he couldn't even make a proper plan.

But because he fought and planned under such problematic circumstances, the loss of Vender allowed his Realm and Zone to take form.

"Dara then Titan. Kristine, help Git Godlike for three seconds and return." Arthur didn't even give long orders. His unchained powers in calculation created a powerful Realm that allowed those in it to experience a form of Instant Calculation!

The team followed as instructed and sent their barrage.

Dara charged in and revealed her arm, which was bright red as she punched out.

BOOM!

The shockwaves of the impact spread, and Titan followed as he slashed out using a lightning sword.

SLASH!

The Throne of Straviaa was thrown back.

"How are you... doing this?!" She raged and shot more attacks, but at the moment, Kristine had finished helping the other team, and the golden valkyrie held out her shield to block the attack.

Every more and every attack that Straviaa shot out had its corresponding defenses. And the sciences that the team carried were exact counters that nullified her attacks!

But even when she would distort and warp reality to twirl, everyone could still navigate and move without any problems.

"Stupid kid! We've fought worse! Lanterk was far stronger!" Danny chuckled as he returned and made another series of attacks.

"Lanterk was far stronger, and Top Tier Shackstress was far smarter. We've fought against both. What is your little science compared to it? Do you think your powers distort our perception? I work with a guy whose very presence is nauseating!" Arthur cursed.

The power of the shrinking dimension added with Shacktress's genius mind was a terrifying battle. But the videos of that battle had been shared with everyone. And that was a battle that Arthur watched numerous times despite his unlocking as he would recreate the battle and perform mental rehearsal to see the battle as led by him. With Lennox's powers, Arthur was able even to create a video rendition of his imaginations of the battle and considered the abilities of Shackstress.

The training proved effective as Arthur didn't even see Straviaa as a threat!

Straviaa gathered universe energy, but powerful lighting slashed out, and it was several folds more powerful than the imitation that the scout, Titan, had!

BOOM!

Lennox sent out another attack and dispelled her attack, and Lennox moved and began to gather more electricity from the ship itself.

The group was practically toying with Straviaa, and everyone was improving. Arthur's strongest power was his Realm, which affected every Unlocked in that room. He created a powerful Realm that caused everyone to have a mind like his! As a result, everyone was able to replicate a portion of Instant Calculation and could easily make estimates that increased the accuracy and timing of their attacks!

Arthur used the Thought Transmitter to transfer Zone and his power in the calculation, which he could now turn into a form of Realm!

This power even caused Lennox to make strange lighting attacks and warped out from one side and even create two clones as the power of the improved calculation allowed him to create another lightning incarnation!

And the other incarnation was busy aiding the other group.

Git Godlike continued to follow their Path that founded the theory that created their Impact team.

Even as gamers, they often believed that the peak of power was not limited to the most powerful abilities, and they even scored the term that gamers used to divide characters. They hated how the Piercing series set all Piercing characters to be 'meta' and placed all Impact characters as weak and unsuitable for competitive gameplay.

They believed that in the evolving landscape of gaming, in terms of the in-game physics, the limitations of character movement, evasion, and the complexity of the Piercing series were already enough to make anyone champion regardless of the selected character. And with that, they proved it to be true.

As part of the Unlocked army, they sought to use weapons that, while created through the mixing and foundational elements of the Paths of the Overcomers, they never followed it through to replicate the powers just like the Twelve Disciples or even how Arthur crafted the Covenant to be.

They used weapons and techs that had been deemed weak compared to the power of the Overcomers.

But despite that, Enderks fought a hard battle as if he was facing an entire army with every tech in the world.

The armaments of the team varied at every shot!

Cronus and the tank, Alexa Alexa, fought in close range but used too many techs from the Call of Automaton from the WGP to the Qilin's Horn that was rumored to have been used in One China!

They have trained fighting Emperors and Empresses of the WGP who used their Invoking. They had fought against the Twelve Disciples, the Dragon's Fangs! They fought during the Fang Wars and challenged the Alpha werewolves of Amir. Git Godlike also led the many skirmishes against the Pioneers and Planteds, And they were the team that had the highest body count of Pioneers and Planteds that took refuge in the underground city in Russia.

With Arthur's Realm, Git Godlike managed to perform equally.

Enderks fought much better than Strviaa, but the unpredictable techs thrown at him made it difficult for Enderks to find an escape.

"You brats!" Enderks cursed. He was tempted to use his Universe Energy finally.

"No! It's too dangerous!" Enderks cursed out loud.

"Use it! You won't win against us!" Chronus shouted.

BOOM!

Straviaa's Throne was knocked backed and aligned to where Enderks was.

"Now!" Arthur finally smiled as a massive fluctuation appeared over his entire suit that had recovered. He was to Tread on the Threshing Floor once more!

"No!" Straviaa cursed and used her Universe Energy to block the attack.

Enderk's also did the same.

"Die!" Arthur shouted and beamed forward as he once again made the same attack.

Arthur traveled at incredible speed but right before he reached Straviaa, he activated a reserved weapon that sent him to the Void Realm.

Arthur finally vanished.

A powerful rift was opened not a second later, and a strange light shot and pulled back the Thrones of Enderks and Straviaa and sent them to another dimension!

Tiana's Throne appeared as she smiled.

But then the smile turned to horror.

She had timed the attack and the jump to quickly capture the two Thrones at their weakest state and battle it in her dimension! But the two Thrones were not damaged at all!

"They weren't damaged?! But how?! Enderks! You tricked me!" Tiana shouted and trembled as the two captured Thrones began to fight.

"Get her!" Dara shouted, and the group prepared to attack.

Tiana could not fight two battles and decided to escape.

The space began to distort as Tiana was preparing to teleport back when the portal she opened sent out Arthur!

The Threshing Floor was about to land its attacks at Tiana's Throne directly!

But at that exact moment, the two Thrones she sent into another dimension with her incarnation began fighting and unleashed Universe Energy attacks!

BOOM!

Arthur's broken and beaten body from making the attack fell to the side.

"All according to my calculations..." Arthur smiled as he watched Tiana, who was unable to escape and landed right in the middle of the two teams.

"Attack!" Lennox shouted as they charged at their real target, the last of the Top Tiers!
