Alean's expression had greatly changed as she heard Zeraphine's claims.

Since the destruction of the World's Helm, she had been trying to find a way to break out of the set events that would ultimately end in their defeat. Then, she was called the Prophet along with Arthur. But now, they were doomsday prophets that couldn't see hope in the future.

She met with Zeraphine and had a strange premonition that she needed to talk to her. But the sensation was distorted. Alean thought that her talking to Zeraphine was something she made alone. But Zeraphine's words proved that there was more to this.

"Soul Imputation? Are you suggesting... that the future you..."

"Sealed herself inside Zeek. That's what I am led to believe. I couldn't figure it out until you told me that Seeker is from the future. The lie of him being the Progenitor's son covered up most of your secrets. And it was a good lie. If Seeker's real identity as the product of time travel is revealed, then Primes will go here! But now... I need to meet Zeek again!"

"Explain to me why you think that. Why would a weak Presider like you have the ability that Top-Tiers can do?" Alean questioned.

"Because I'm not just any Presider! I am the daughter of Prime Zephirus! He is a powerful Prime who has done the impossible. You don't know what Primes are like. They don't have physical forms! To be accurate, they can't have one! Something strange occurs when they transcend the dimension and become something like a spirit!"

"Spirit? Wait..." Kristine was stunned.

"Just as we were told... The curse of Genesis 6. Spirits can't stay mortal but have a limited number of years."

Zeraphine was stunned.

"One hundred and twenty years, to be exact..." Alean noticed Zeraphine's expression.

"How... did you?"

"We met the real Progenitor."

"Alean! This is too dangerous!" Kristine exclaimed.

"You can't tell her that! The information about him-"

"I know, Kristine. But I feel that she has to know. My zone... finally found it." Alean smirked.

"No! This is too crazy! This is too risky!"

"The Progenitor knew about the souls?"

"He is the Lost Primordial. Of course, he does. Everything about us is a legacy of the Lost Primordial that he prepared. He wants to end the match between him and the Primordial. You could even say the match is not yet over. Now tell me about your father."

"...My father is a Prime. He ascended even before I was born. But since Primes have so much power that they cannot stay in the three dimensions, it's like I never had a father. But my birth caused a stir in Aragar. I was born with the power of the soul. Something that shouldn't be possible. Many considered my existence an illegal attempt of a Prime to pass on his powers. The Prime Wars are intended to push our society to the next level. I'm sure you know this."

"Yes. We have a rough understanding of your society now."

"Because of that purpose, there are rules by which all should abide. Conquerors can are not born through luxury. Principals with sons or daughters cannot just pass on their power to them or anyone else. It has to be a level lower. But no Primes have ever given birth. So there never had been a scenario where a Prime would pass on a Principal level power to their offspring. Until me."

Kristine was startled.

"General. I highly recommend we stop this. We cannot let her know any more! Or free her!"

"I don't really care if you free me or don't. You are as good as dead. The woman you killed, Straviaa... She was a daughter of a Principal. That family should be on their way here, so good luck with that. The one approaching could kill you. But even if you survive that batch of Presiders and the Principal after, you will still face more Principals."

"We will deal with it when the time comes. And that's why I am here to resolve. Earth's survival is at stake. And you seem to have a backstory that fits our cause. The woman killed herself because she couldn't kill her lover. Do you know how you died? You told Seeker I love you." Alean revealed.

Zeraphine was quiet. But Alean's claim fits the vision that she saw when she fought Garenazz.

"Of course... Freeing you could be pointless. Lynd destroyed your Nefilus suit.

"The Nefilus Suit that you saw is not a real Nefilus Suit. It's just something I made so that I can harness other Presider powers. But for my soul, I can use my powers even without them. I could hop back to Lara, but she would fight me. But as for my other Presider techs... it needs me in that so that I can wield Universe Energy. I was born from a spirit. The best way to explain it is-"

"A virgin birth. Interesting. You're a Nephilim!"

"Nephilim? The one in the Bible?"

"The very same one... I wonder... What if... we try to force you to become an Unlocked."

"Unlocked? You mean to be like you?"

"The Throne is rejecting your body, right? That's why you need to create that suit! But it's also possible that you are not like the other Aragarians. They need the Throne. But if you don't, then that means you are like us. You have the chance to Overcome!" Alean smiled.

Zeraphine had a strange expression.

"You actually believe in the existence of the Nephilim?"

"It's part of what the Lost Primordial told us. You see-"

"General Alean! Stop!" Kristine couldn't stand by anymore and let Alean tell Zeraphine the most crucial and critical information they had now.

"Kristine! Be quiet."

"It's too dangerous! Information of what the Lost Primordial told us cannot be leaked to her! Her nature will make her betray us! She doesn't need a Throne or her suit to use her soul! She could be telling them now!"

"I know the risk, Kristine. But I guess it's time..." Alean gave Kristine a meaningful look.

"...You know that this would happen?" Kristine asked.

"No. When she told me about her soul, it was only then I knew about it." Alean answered.

"Then I won't hold back!" Kristine shouted.

The science of Unlocking has improved by many folds.

The dangers of the suit and armor that they wore being destroyed in the coming wars meant that losing their armor and gear meant death.

And so, Lennox proposed a method of creating the armor. It used the cells of Amir and the science of creating weapons based on the cells. But since Amir's mutation had already begun to infect metals, the team already had a proposed way to create an injectible armor.

Her cells began to spur and mutate like that of a wolf. The injected cells that would cultivate, grow, and heal themselves inside Kristine's body exploded out, and her Valkyrie form instantly appeared.

The technology of the many Emperors was used with the peak perfection of nanotechnology, allowing Kristine to recreate Piercing Valkyries' armor instantly, and she charged toward Alean.

She stabbed a long lance toward Alean, but Alean simply slapped it.

SLAP!

The lance missed, and Kristine raised her shield that formed and tackled Alean.

WARP!

Alean disappeared at the front as she disappeared into the Void Realm.

Kristine released her Realm to sense everything around her but then...

BANG!

Kristine felt a powerful punch occur inside of her, knocking her back.

As Kristine was flying back from the punch, she saw Alean appear above, and her fist was glowing red like Dara's.

BOOM!

Kristine sank down to the floor as her body was embedded in the ground.

"Anti Zone!" Alean shouted, and a powerful realm erupted out of Kristine, and a dissonating power affected her cells.

"Ahhh!"

The metal armor that Kristine summoned began to lose power and connection with Kristine.

STAB! STAB! STAB!

The armor began to disappear but stabbed out of Kristine's skin as it formed under her body.

The bloody form of Kristine shocked Lara and Zeraphine.

"Im...possible! You... are... a World Champion?!" Kristine exclaimed. Her defeat was quick. She didn't even stand a chance. She had only suffered such a terrifying defeat against Arthur and Cliff.

"A Near Overcomer." Alean corrected.

BEEP! BEEP!

The entire ship resounded with alarms.

"You... teleported your fist... to punch me from the inside?!"

"Yes. The Void Assassins who trained under Rai can see inside the Void Realm. But they can't do what I did because they would see your projected form in the Void Realm and would have no means to attack you from the inside. My Zone can. I actually taught Rai how to do this." Alean explained as she moved towards Zeraphine.

"We don't have time. Kristine alerted everyone, and the guards were coming here. Looks like I'm on the run for now."

"You're betraying us...?"

"I go where my Path takes me." Alean took out a strange energy-emitting device and harnessed her Unlocking.

A portal opened.

"You... really are making a stupid risk, Miss Alean. Are you sure about what you are doing?" Zeraphine had a strange look at Alean.

"I'll find out, won't I?" Alean pulled Zeraphine, and the two jumped into the portal.
