Lanterk watched the many forces raiding the cities that he had claimed his own.

But now, it was his time to move.

The Unlocked had difficulty determining the precise location of Lanterk's true base. With his power to move metal, they expected he could create a massive fortress that could appear out of nowhere.

The underwater battle that Seeker had against him already revealed a ship more than eight kilometers long!

Deep underneath the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic Sea was a Throne.

The Throne was embezzled in gold and silver color, and on the platform where the lone Throne sat a man.

Lanterk sat on his throne at the very depths of the water.

His powers were constantly moving. The dark depths of the sea were glowing with a rainbow light like the aurora. This was the Universe Energy that he was wielding.

Underneath the very depths of this Throne was his base. It had been 'moving' from one place to another through his tech. But now, the foundations have been laid as energy and power have spread. It took a while for him to use his Universe Energy to spread out, and now, he could finally perform it.

Lanterk moved out, and his Nefilus suit began to empower his right arm. The laws of dimensions were being held in his hand, and through it, he revealed a mysterious power that Earth once had and lost.

The truth was mixed and blurred over time. But during the early 13th century on Earth, it clearly existed. The powerful tool and weapon that only Principals could create was on earth but disappeared. Through it, the process of changing and transmuting things appeared. The peak form of the Ankh Core, which Earth called the Philosophers stone, had a specific power.

Akasha took a form of this which was called the Elixir of Life on Earth. But another Ankh Core was made possible, the one that Lanterk has mastered and achieved without it.

It was said that the Ankh Core was the Blood of the Nefilus beasts, and taking it in would allow them to wield portions of the Nefilus beast's body. But alas, no blood remained.

But Lanterk's real form, his main body, had long perfected this.

Despite being a Presider, Lanterk already knew how to use this power. He never revealed it since his main body had cheated and disobeyed the laws of Aragar and bestowed such tech to this incarnation.

Lanterk's arm began to change, and from the energy of his Universe Energy altering the dimensions, his arm became yet another object of legend.

Earth called it 'Midas touch,' but among Aragarian's, it was the Hand of the Metal Shifter.

Lanterk pressed his arm to the ground, and the entire rocky bed transformed into metal.

Even the seas around him began to shift and turn to metal.

The lost art of alchemy appeared once more on earth.

"The Progenitor must have found an Ankh Core here. And he used it to create those experiments." Lanterk recalled the strange metal user like him who created living liquid metal.

"I'll catch that and study the Progenitor's science! But for now... it's time to build my Babel!"

The Presider techs of Lanterk were revealed in their entirety.

The area began to tremble, and every Unlocked watched in amazement.

"Should we stop him?" Lynd asked. He was with Seeker in another Sky Satellite, watching over the Black Sea.

Next to him was Seeker and yet another person of great importance. He was stripped of power and couldn't even wield the slightest of his powers. His Nefilus Suit had also been destroyed in the battle.

"He has to do this. As I said, the arrival of the other Presiders will continue a Presider War. But this battle seeks to have only one victor. The goal is to create a Principal. And Principal Dormin is watching. Many Principals, including the main body of Lanterk, headed here. They will wait and see who wins. And Dormin will eat the winner of this war. Yet, if we want a chance to survive, Pridgeon and Lanterk need to be alive." Garenjazz answered.

"What if they will all aim their attacks at us?" Seeker asked.

"I'm sure some of the weaker ones will do that. But you're mistaken. In that ship, all that remains are people with the highest potential as Conquerors. They won't ally since it goes against their nature. Instead, they would attack and kill each other, for at this stage, the easiest thing to do is wipe out another Presider. And since Earth has numerous pseudo-Presiders, it makes them a difficult target." Garenjazz explained.

"I guess Arthur's arrangements remain the best solution. We use this time to create more Unlocked at the expense of these nations."

"The Tyrant Empress is retreating." Cliff reported.

"Yes. I'm sure she has her team of Unlocked now. I'm guessing she's feeling it." Seeker glanced towards the direction of where Lanterk's power was surging out.

A powerful magnetic power began to appear, covering the area with a radius of over two-hundred kilometers.

The many armies attacking the nations were starting to be affected by magnetism.

Their massive ships, the planes that flew above, the exoskeletons, and all other foreign presences made of metal were being drawn in.

Lanterk stood as the forming metals appeared, making it a powerful magnet that targeted the metal of his foes.

"Citizens of Greece. Citizens of Italy... The Progenitor is lying to you. He is not your savior. He is one of us. He enslaved the world, but I will free this city! He makes himself one of God, but he is a false prophet! He commands vampires and werewolves! He commands plagues and demons! But what does the Word of God say? 'As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.' And again, the Bible speaks of silver and gold and how it is purified. This world is being purified, and my power will make it right! Behold, I rise now... I rise and will conquer. In an age long ago, this region ruled the world! Let's rebuild it! I will show you... my power!" Lanterk's voice echoed throughout the entire region and spread out as many metals suddenly appeared out of the ground within Italy and Greece.

That day, half of the world heard the words of Lanterk as his sound created a vibration that caused all metals to produce the same sounds.

At that moment, the skies over Greece and Italy could see ships, tanks, planes, and swarms of other metal being drawn up.

Even the massive mobile fortresses stationed at sea nearby were being drawn.

The people in these ships and tanks were all shouting, and many even jumped off or ejected themselves. Panic ensued on the larger ships, but everything made of metal was being called regardless of its composition or reaction to magnetism.

Even the people who were equipped with metal would fly out.

Many took off the metal pieces and fell to the sea. But those farther away and being drawn flying through the skies were unlucky.

The shocked people of the land saw the skies and were amazed.

Many began to rejoice. In the past weeks, Greece has been under constant attacks, and when the information that Lanterk was now controlling Italy, the nations began to attack Italy as well.

Many had already made their decision to serve Lanterk, and now, with the sight of armies being drawn into the sky, many were joyfully celebrating.

Lanterk channeled the power as massive amounts of metal were falling into the ocean.

Slowly, a large bridge began to form and rise from the land. Finally, the divide between the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic Sea was made clear as a massive wall soared up, reaching the height of buildings.

Lioncourt watched in amazement.

"Aren't we going to do anything?!" Owens Shedd shouted.

"One China and Australia are on their way to deploy their weapons. Let's hope it counters and stops Lanterk."

"Is that a... military base?!" Magantae cried.

"All of this will be part of Lanterk's army now. How annoying. And he will surely establish himself in this region..." Charles watched.

"That's it?! You guys are relying on One China and Australia! We should stop it!"

"No. Lanterk and Pridgeon have to gain dominance. If we take them out now, we become targets to the coming Presider. Those who are arriving will now see Lanterk and Pridgeon as larger threats. So stand down, Owens." Sammy ordered.

"Do as he says. This is the best way we can save the world." Richie answered.

Owens was silenced, but his expression remained angry at what he saw.

"Is this how... we exterminate the alien threat?"

"Got any better idea? We have Principals coming. Relax, Owens. You'll see that this was the only way." Sammy added.

On that day, the world witnessed the rise of a massive wall that connected two countries. And Lanterk, who took on the name of Alexander, declared the revival of the ancient kingdoms.

The Greco-Roman Kingdom was formed.
