Many people could see the flashing lights and explosions in the sky above.

Hermes sighed as he watched.

Lioncourt, Lennox, Akasha, Hermes, and Amir could not join the battle due to their tasks in ensuring that the nations of New Jerusalem and the Greco-Roman Kingdom would not move out.

"They seem to be having fun..." Hermes smiled.

"Boss! Concentrate! These giant metal golems are moving out!" Austin cried out.

Hermes then turned his attention to the rising metal giants moving out of the Greco-Roman kingdom.

"Fine..." Hermes dove down with his team.

The battle between the Overcomers in space raged outside Earth's atmosphere and reached the moon comprised three teams.

Eagle's team had Richie, Meng, Typical, and Rai.

The Tyrant Empress had her original team. Octarion Ceasar, Eden, and Akahs fought with her.

Seeker had his group, and they were all fighting right in the middle of them. At first, the Seeker and the Tyrant Empress fought to bring down Eagle with the strongest form, but they quickly lost ground.

The space battle was a test battle utilizing many of the developed science.

The Unlocked army had already acquired spaceships from the other Presiders when Seeker offered them the 'phallic techs' in exchange for materials to make Gargantua and Orbitals.

Through the acquired schematics, the science of stellar travel among the Unlocked had already equaled Presiders to a certain degree. Yet even then, they realized that they were not yet capable of interstellar travel and only Principals could do that.

While the Inhumans would use cellular recreation aided by nanotech technology to create Exoskeletons, the Overcomers used their power to create their version of an Exoskeleton.

The techs they received from Presiders Garenjazz and Zeraphine allowed them to transform their Realm and create a weaker version of Universe Energy.

Unlike the rest, who would use nanotechnology to create metal and 'build' an exoskeleton from their blood, the Overcomers would create an Exoskeleton made from their Path. While some, like Cliff and Lynd, followed this, others didn't.

Greydon Meng's 'exoskeleton' form was the appearance of a dragonic armor. He had numerous layers of scales, which gave him unprecedented might. He had such strong might that he could clash directly with Octarion Ceasar's improved Exoskeleton.

The two punches would create shock waves equal to devastating bombs, and everyone around them, whether part of their team or not, would have to use numerous means to block it.

Meng had utilized his Path to create a desolation armor that fitted him like armor. But more than that, he could create the half-body of a large dragon with gigantic claws.

But even with the raw desolation, the supreme defenses of Octarion Ceasar resisted it.

Eden revealed might and strength that was now equal to a Near-Overcomer.

She recreated a massive plant monster with her at the center. The strange plant monster with a large moving vine whose whip managed to send Meng back.

The plant had tremendous vitality, and even attacks at the level of weapons of mass destruction could not demolish it.

Her control over the seeds allowed the plants to exist over space easily. It was as if Eden had an army of a giant plants with long antennas and tendrils.

Akahs was also equally powerful.

He could perform curses to weaken a person, distort senses, and inflict nightmares.

Eagle was using his powerful attacks that could create miniature black holes in an area and collapse the space around it.

With Richie defending him, Meng fighting at the front, and Rai supporting each group, they became the most dangerous combination in the group.

Quera also proved to be very problematic as she could, once more, steal the path of others and use it against them. Despite having the weakest team, Quera maintained her dominance throughout the fight.

Ultimately, Eagle's team won as Seeker and Quera exhausted themselves in the battle.

Seeker even lost consciousness due to his wounds.

The fight took over the moon, and the Presiders all pleaded to surrender as they expected them to arrive. But the group kept fighting on the moon, leaving numerous large holes and incinerating many bases.

Only a third of the military forces and bases remained by the time they stopped fighting.

And all welcomed the Overcomers and his group as if they were welcoming dear old friends.

Never mind the fact that their forces had faced great massacres. Instead, they treated each like Presiders.

They had seen the great tunneling power break, and many believed that they had powers equal to Principals. They had no Thrones and wore no suits, yet their power challenged and defeated Garenjazz.

But as Seeker slept on, the divine calculation of Arthur was starting to move.

"...Seeker must be unconscious now. He used the foundation of Garenjazz to bring out his two souls and fell to sleep. Let's start this." Arthur then glanced at Lara.

Lara was nervous as she lay upon many devices.

Lennox was also close by with a powerful device that Nogard used to harness the energy of his soul.

"Let's begin," Arthur ordered as the device was being powered up.

Far away, in the dimensions of Seeker's mind, Zeraphine felt a sharp stinging sensation.

"Who?!" Zeraphine cursed. But before she and Shacktress's soul could act, they were suddenly drawn out of the soul.

A medium's power could call another's soul from dimensions beyond. And so, Zeraphine's soul was so close to the medium that her soul was quickly pulled out of Seeker, and the next thing Zeraphine saw, was that she was in a lab.

"...Lara?!" She exclaimed.

"...You! You're here... but not her!" Lara cried.

Arthur observed and smiled.

"Success. Lara. Calm down. Let Zeraphine take over your body."

"...Arthinar. It seems you have plotted behind my back. And you've kept it a secret from Seeker!"

"You sound surprised. You should have expected this."

"I unconsciously underestimate you because of your past life. What is this? You've kept this a secret from Seeker and pulled me out of my soul using a Medium. I can't believe you figured it out. Wait! Is my other soul responsible for this?!"

"Your other soul is with Alean. Who knows where she is? We tried our best to find her and even tested Lara's connection with that Zeraphine, but no luck. It's as if they've hidden in a place that even Principals couldn't find. That's how lucky Alean path is after all..."

"What is all this, Arthinar?" Zeraphine asked. The entire place began to tremble as a strange power caused all matter around them to quiver.

"Lioncourt's power. I guess being in Zeek's power is quite beneficial for you. He is your throne, huh? Too bad my calculations still see no survival for Seeker's future." Arthur smiled.

The trembling stopped.

"You lie."

"No. That's why I summoned you. I need to know something... Why haven't you told Seeker that you're alive."

"This is living?"

"Seeker said that he had an Android created by Lennox to mimic you. It helped him find strength in the fight. But it was you, wasn't it? At times you would use this android to speak to him. You hid your soul in his body. What's all this about? A daughter of a Prime... Did you know what would happen? Did you know that Seeker would time-travel? If you don't answer me, I'll seal you here in Lara and punish you. I can kill your soul here, Zeraphine." Arthur threatened.

"No. That is not true. And frankly, I'm disappointed in you, Arthinar. You already interrogated the other me. You know my past and my relationship with my father."

"Who knows what happened to you? You lived a decade older than the other Zeraphine. What if your father contacted you?"

"He didn't. But... my father is a weird one among Primes. I have a feeling that he is a seed of the Progenitor. One planted in Aragarian soul."

"Lies."

"I'm just guessing. But here's the truth, I never found a way to do my soul jumps like that. Not without my Throne, harnessing universe energy, and all my weapons. When I died, I was surprised to see myself within Seeker. A wisp of a soul that somehow transferred. I recovered the stronger Seeker got. My soul would grow with his. My purpose here is not betrayal. I would have acted earlier if I wanted Seeker or any of you dead. Don't you know I've saved Seeker's life many times?"

"That I believe. You even brought Shackstress along for the ride."

"It's because I love him. That's all this was. When I declared my love for him and killed myself, my soul made its jump. How? I don't know! But now, I'm just protecting him! I don't care about any of you, but I will gladly die again for Seeker!"

"I believe you. But why haven't you told him about yourself? Why not tell him that you're there?"

"The Seeker that I love is obviously the Adult. But now that he is infused with the child, I can tell. He hates me more than he loves me. The two share emotions. I know that the older one is even enjoying Seeker's time here with all the girls that love him. Alphie... Kristine... and let's not forget Alean. If I tell him I'm alive, I'm afraid that the anger of the Adult will drive the child to the arms of another woman."

"Why not jump back to the other Zeraphine?"

"Matthew 12:29."

"...How can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods unless he first binds the strong man? So you can't take down the soul of the other you?"

"No. It's her soul in her body. In theory, the contact of our two souls will devour each other. If she wins, she gains all my memories, and she has the curse of the Primordial. She will betray you just as I did. No amount of reasoning and emotions could change that. I chose to kill myself and found a way to leap to Seeker."

At that moment, Arthur's expression changed.

"That's Alean's plan! I understand now! When you killed yourself, you became an Unlocked! Kristine told me that Alean was planning to force the Unlocking into Zeraphine! I see! I now know what future Alean seeks! But that future..." Arthur's powers began to surge.

And in this vision, he saw the Adult Seeker moving in. His eyes were strange. The Child was no more. Meryl was saved. On the other, the Child rose to the heavens to fight an unknown and unseen foe. The Adult was long gone. And Meryl had also died.

Arthur trembled.

"Two Zeraphines... One loves the Adult who will do anything to save his friends. The other loves the Child who has not known the loss of friends... will fight to save as many of his new friends as possible! This is it! This is the conflict! One of Seeker's soul will die!"
