Seeker continued to lay out the plans that Arthur has plotted for the Unlocked as with the wars that they were to initiate.
"Since infiltrating the WGP or attacking it is practically difficult to do with how xenophobic it is now, the best way to fight and attack their fort is to draw out as many Emperors and Empresses as we can. The chaos that we will create in South America will cause those in the World's Helm to move. And the chaos that will spread from Egypt and move upwards will force the WGP to move out."
"And our job is to ensure that happens? You want us to use our power in the WGP to make implications to have that happen?" Phoenix asked.
"Yes. Use whatever means you can to ensure that they will be forced to go out of their shell. Of course, you don't need to make it obvious. If all goes well, in a matter of eight months Egypt, Rome, Babylon, and Assyria will rise once more. Arthur has planned that these nations will rise up as the Babel Towers of the world. The respective Overcomers are already informed. And even the remaining seeds of the Progenitor that we haven't met are being sought by Nogard Meng, Master, and Lilybeth."
"Who's Lilybeth?" Pheonix asked.
"I mean Rai! Rai! The Void Assassin from the EAA."
Lynd and Cliff facepalmed as they heard this.
"Interesting plan. As expected of the Prophet Daniel!" Eagle smiled.
"Once Lioncourt has gathered all the seeds, where can we have the Bible Study. You have turned deaf ears to my request, Seeker. I hope that isn't the case now." Eagle smiled.
"I don't have a choice, do I? Where do you suggest?"
"Then there you have it. Everhiss clan, you have to draw as many Emperors and Empresses to our side. Since Pangea is one of the few countries that managed to reach this place, you could use it as an excuse to help us complete our Pangean project secretly. The Three Shapes that Pangea is building is actually one large mobile fortress. With your help, the technology can be much more powerful. We still have to think of ways to combine your techs with every single tech we have in our hands."
"I think you underestimate us. That Fortress you are making can easily be transformed into a Many Mansion. Each Emperor isn't just people with Rules. We fought hard to acquire this tech. Your explanation of what the Aragarian society looks like is very familiar. Within the WGP, we follow the same format. Only when Emperors and Empresses have created immense contributions to technology are they able to acquire their Rules. Even that Emperor that Meryl killed, Theon Epikyron was a genius in his rocket propulsion tech."
"Epikyron? Those are the WGP Emperors that we fought in the retaking of Pangea." Seeker frowned.
"I see. So when the Throne Wars happened, they weren't present. That's because the Epikyron family is the family in charge of creating space habitats. They are the ones that have formed a base in the moon and even created several minor bases in the Asteroid belt. There is, of course, a high chance that they have already allied with the Aragarians." Phoenix had a very angry expression.
"It might not have happened yet, but it may happen. There are several Top Tiered Presiders already on Earth. The WGP has to act to limit or harass their forces."
"You plan to make the WGP act as a shield to take on the attacks of the Top-Tier Presiders?" Miranne was stunned.
"It's only logical," Lynd answered.
"You guys died without giving much help to us. So… In this life, it's better if your friends die with honor. But your life isn't worth sparing for the future. The WGP has to fall if you want us to rise. Comparing the two of us, we have a higher chance of fighting and winning against the Aragarians. So instead of making us expand our men, why not expend yours? I know this would be very distasteful to you guys, but your friends must die for our cause." Lynd stepped forward to explain.
"Lynd?" Cliff was about to stop Lynd when Seeker raised his hands.
"Cliff. Lynd's using his path of observation. These people have been affected by Eagle's sermon and are on our side. But right now, being on our side means that they have their expectations and belief as to how to help us. It isn't because of pride. They look down on us, but they have their sincere beliefs and desires on how to help us. Lynd's learned this the hard way. His dissatisfaction with my actions was because he had his own beliefs and expectations of saving this world. Let him speak." Seeker corrected as he spoke at a speed and frequency that only Cliff could understand.
"You are Lynd Indigo. I'm quite surprised at the reports I've read about you. Miranne sent a lot of information regarding your last battle. Apart from the chaos and deaths that you caused in Pangea, you rebelled and nearly killed several of your allies. It's stated in the reports that it was none other than Seeker Carlean who tried to stop you. Wouldn't you be the one who can sympathize with our current scenario? We wish for a world where most of the Emperors will survive. Regardless of whatever beliefs they have, they are still our family. You telling us to die for your cause is rather hypocritical, isn't it? Did you two fall into some compromise after you fought?" One of the Emperors frowned.
"You're telling us that our life isn't worth sparing, but you fought against your friend in some disagreement? While Seeker explained the future gave us a rather bleak view of the WGP, a Throne War is only one of the possibilities that may arise! The future isn't set yet! Why not work towards trying to get the WGP to fight with us? Don't just cast it aside and make them cannon fodder! They deserve better!"
"That's why I was rather harsh with my words. Eagle may have convinced you of how the WGP will betray you, yet in your heart, you still want to save them. That is understandable. But if you hesitate now, it could lead to catastrophic problems. And this is exactly why I spoke up. Right now, there are many paths to victory. There are many theories on how to best deal with the coming battle. There are many truths and these honest and sincere truths that could divide us! I can see it in your eyes! You all are clearly our allies, but because of your passion, your preference, and conviction, you all are secretly planning to make your moves, right?" Lynd asked.
Cliff was surprised at this statement.
"I see why Seeker brought me here. You guys are different. Every Overcomer we've met followed a primitive yet effective rule. They were defeated, and they are obeying Seeker's will because they follow the strong. But here amidst all thrones, the pride of the Emperors is not easily avoided! Let me tell you this… If you try to save the world and help us according to your wisdom, you will be the death of us!" Lynd shouted.
"I had to be stabbed in the heart and pummeled to a near-death state to learn this. I was once like you! That's why I rebelled. That's why the rage was secretly building within me! Unlike Seeker's other conquered friends, I was his friend even before this. When I slowly realized that I was the Way, it got me thinking of other ways to save the world. Seeker kept indulging my pride by not making me be thrown into the fires. Perhaps he was afraid of losing me as a person or as a friend. Because what he needed was not my opinion, but my strength and obedience!"
Eagle could not help but smile.
"As do God." Eagle added.
"Emperors and Empresses, your alliance is greatly valuable to us. But only if it is done in perfect submission. You cannot serve two masters at the same time. You either serve our cause or serve the cause of your family. He who puts his hand and the plow and looks back is not worthy of my kingdom. These are the Words of the Most High. Seeker's plan will shock you."
"Yes. Seeker has already discussed the plans with the leader of several Underwater cities, and they have agreed to help us destroy one-third of the sea to limit marine life." Miranne sighed.
"WHAT?!" Many Emperors were startled.
"Pastor!" One of the Empress turned to Eagle.
"Good plan. That ought to fill in the verses in Revelation. More will come to faith in this." Eagle approved.
"What?!"
"Do not be shocked at these plans. The world has to be given a chance to repent. They have to have that chance to repent. Just as it was with Israel in the days before the Babylonian captivity, they will have prophets who will preach the good news. My ministry is full of critics. I am able to convince people of peace who, in their humility, allowed the Word of God to make sense to them. But most of the world laughs at me and poke fun at my scientific reference, which is frankly easy to refute with the manipulation of the truth." Eagle laughed.
"But what if we show the world how true it is? What if Egypt rises once more? What if Babylon, Assyria, and Rome become a power that mimics the words mentioned in the Bible? Doing so will create great chaos. There is so much more that I can talk about in regards to that. But you kings must submit to a leader now. Whether he commands you to abandon your brother, let it be so. Of course, Seeker won't be so harsh as to make them die without a fight. You must allow them to grow." Eagle smiled.
"Eagle is right. We will give you some of our technology to pass it on to your Emperor friends. Hopefully, with that, they can kill a few more Presiders or even inflict damage to their armies." Seeker nodded.
"If they are humble and of a contrite spirit, and turn from their ways, they will be saved anyway. And the hope of God's kingdom at the resurrection will allow them to live. Has any of us perfected resurrection science? God has." Eagle smiled.
The expressions of the Emperors and Empresses were slowly changing.
"Emperors, Empresses. We of the Everhiss clan were called seeds by the Progenitor. We've long noticed we had a strange liking to the Judeo-Christain faith. He even called this house Many Mansions. He named our seeds, and pastor, isn't there a verse that said something of how a seed needs to die?" Phoenix asked.
"John 12:24-25. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Phoenix is right. You complain, how it is that your family is destined to die and be cannon fodder, well get in line. Those who follow God are always seeds to die for the future."
"It's not just you." Seeker sighed.
"Do you think I'm building an army to defeat the Aragarians? We don't even know or could imagine what a Principal is. I assure you, most of what I'm building or have built will die. Honestly, the destiny of your family members is easier. Isn't it written in Revelation? Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Lynd, Cliff, and even most of the Overcomers won't be alive to see victory." Seeker explained.
There was silence.
Lynd kept glancing around.
"How is it, Lynd?" Seeker asked.
"I think we're good. Man, that was hard. Fighting them would've been easier."
"Yes. But they wouldn't be as passionate as they would be. With them, we have these geniuses who will start splicing and enhancing our techs. It's like we've gained six or seven Lennox's." Seeker smiled.
"Erm… Generals?" Cliff intruded on the two as he spoke in a normal voice.
"The Presider that Titan was following. It went and met with Lara!"

Seeker sighed."Do you think I'm building an army to defeat the Aragarians? We don't even know or could imagine what a Principal is. I assure you, most of what I'm building or have built will die.

It's like we've gained six or seven Lennox's." Seeker smiled."Erm Generals?" Cliff intruded on the two as he spoke in a normal voice."The Presider that Titan was following. It went and met with Lara!"
