In an eastern garrison nearly a hundred kilometers from the battlefield...

The bodies of the dead soldiers were there. Feasting on them were hundreds of vampires that continued to drink the blood of all dead or dying soldiers.

At the center of it was Akasha. Her figure had changed. Her skin had revealed a delicate pink tone, and she was even taller than how she originally stood.

She had eyes closed as she continued to meditate and contain the massive and hungry desire for her to grow. Whether Arthur intended it or not, she did not know.

She dove down and attacked the submarines as was originally ordered to recover her losses. Some of the unlocked vampires had died as they retreated and hid by diving in the ocean or going to land.

Akasha raced and attacked the submarine, but a certain submarine contained a tech long hidden by Egypt under the Nile.

It carried a unique mineral that became the power source that constantly created the energy that was an advanced version of the WGP's Origin technology. Akasha learned that the mineral was known as the legendary Philosopher's Stone that was sought for in the history of Earth.

Akasha desired to steal it, but it caused her blood to react and tremble as if it was resonating with her upon touching the mineral. So, sensing the great call and as if she was being possessed, Akasha devoured the mineral.

As the rock entered her body, it began to change. It was then that Akasha realized that this stone wasn't just a stone but a single drop of blood that was reformed into a stone. However, the stony and hard surface soon deteriorated as the entire mineral shrank and became a single drop of blood.

The power of the blood she found had caused her to fall into a trance, and she was taken to a strange place where she saw a person who introduced himself as the Lost Primordial. She was bestowed with many great things beyond knowledge. 

The Philosopher's stone that she ate was different from the ones that were lost on Earth. The Aragarians called the mineral an Ankh Core. It was a rare element that only Principals could create with the right objects. While it was pretty common among the Top-Tier Presiders, Mid-Tiers could acquire and use it at a price.

The Ankh Core was different from the ones that the Argarians created. This was formed from the blood drop of the Lost Primordial was intentionally created to have inferior energy that made it subpar. 

"Andronze must have found it and thought that Earth had somehow naturally created this minerally. But she must have found this to be subpar." Akasha guessed that Andronze didn't think much of this Ankh stone and used it as a power source to constantly create more of the Flood Dragons that she saw the rise and fight in the sky.

"Arthur led me here probably guessing that this submarine had some weapons of some sort related to the Nile's power," Akasha recalled one of Lennox's allies. The woman who had the power to control water released energy similar to what the submarine was creating.

Akasha set those thoughts aside and focused on what the Lost Primordial told her.

The Lost Primordial revealed her purpose and why her legacy was related to the blood. A bigger purpose was in store. She and several others have Paths that were components to make one of the strongest and most advanced sciences that he had created and left on Earth.

"One of the culmination of all our Paths is one-third of mine. Just what is the Life?" She asked herself and delved deeper into the things that were revealed to her. 

And then, she felt it—another hunger pang had erupted. The pain rippled out and made the vampires cry out. Akasha did her best to control the wild reactions of all her familiars. They were all screaming and looking for more to devour. 

More than the knowledge that the Lost Primordial revealed to her, the Lost Primordial activated the power of the blood, and it began to change her blood.

The Lost Primordial did something to stimulate the power of her blood. 

"I need more! Much more!" Akasha cursed and looked at the sky. It was not just the moon, the large saucer, or the Pyramid that she could see. She observed the battle from afar, and her eyesight could somehow see the battle and even perceive what was going on. 

"The battle is drawing to a dangerous stage a city I can attack a city... But... these familiars will kill everyone." She turned over to her men and saw that they were unable to control their hunger. She couldn't help but fear the sight of his vampires devouring children. Even when she attacked the cruise ships, 

Then Akasha noticed that there were two that stood to the side and were not eating.

"You two..." Akasha called out.

"Madam." The two bowed.

"You are Abigail and Seth, correct?

"We are pleased that Madam remembers us."

"You can resist the hunger?"

The two nodded.

"Good. You look like a cut above the rest. You two shall be my dhampirs. We don't have time, and my mission must begin soon. I want you to lead the vampires and attack the nearby base. I want you two to attack and destroy the defenses to minimize the losses of your attacks."

"But madam, many among your vampires will die."

"Bit them after the battle. They will turn into blood. You are all part of my blood now. While it will decrease my blood, it's not as it was when someone dies. Now you can restore up to half of the power I lost when one of them dies. But, of course, you must minimize our losses. Only you two can maintain thought after all. The rest will simply follow your orders. I will bestow to you two the ability to do so."

"Where are you going, madam?"

"I still have a mission to complete. You will know what to do when I order you. I can sense you all as part of my Realm."

"We understand, Madam."

"Go." She commanded as small bats suddenly swarmed around her. It looked like a locust swarm from afar and allowed the group of vampires to rush in.

"My blood is incomplete..." Akasha realized as she sent the group.

"If Seeker is there, they need to know. The secret of the Life lies within me, Amir, and Meng! Only then can the body of a World Champion be made perfect!" Akasha channeled her blood to produce a small red bat. She allowed it to fly, and it flew with an amazing speed.

"Go seek out Arthur or any of his team. The message must be passed." Akasha suddenly turned to mist and turned into a hundred bats and flew towards the city.

"Forgive me. There might be innocent among you, but you are still supporters of an Aragarian. Therefore, I shall spare the young and only kill the mature and the aged." Akasha decided as she rushed towards the city.

Back in the ship of Pridgeon...

The Moon had begun to retreat. It was moving further and further away from Shakstress as the battle was reaching its climax. The absence of Pridgeon made the Pioneers unable to use more of their technology, and most of the defensive protocols were with him. The Pioneers tried to commandeer the ship but had failed. So even though they served the Tyrant Empress now, they still fought to drive back the enemy with all their capacity.

After having appeared on several Command centers, the other command centers linked the Tyrant Empress to be shown and allowed Seeker and Lynd to acquire full access to some of the more powerful weaponry in the ship.

Seeker and Lynd had completed their mission. Apart from teleporting from one area to the next, they sought out more of the available technologies in terms of guns, suits, and even energy sources. 

After following the instructions of the Pioneers that the Tyrant Empress controlled, Seeker and Lynd found one of the greatest power sources in the ship.

By some odd coincidence, Seeker and Lynd found a similar red ore that was releasing amazing energy.

"This is interesting." Seeker watched the device called the Ankh Core.

"By its fluctuations, this rock is capable of manipulating chemical change. Even metals! Sound familiar, right?" Lynd observed.

"This might be the fabled Philosopher Stone. Perhaps many of the legends we have heard on earth involve these rare and unique devices..." Seeker guessed.

"This one can probably change things to gold, like King Midas?"

"Well, we know of the fascination of alchemy on Earth. Maybe this fascination came from legends and tales from the few ores and devices that were found on Earth. Perhaps these things of legends like the Arc of the Covenant, the Bermuda Triangle, the Hope Diamond, and all of those mysterious devices might be something that can aid us." Seeker approached, and the Pioneers deactivated the defenses.

"That is the only one we can give since any more, and it will affect our battle. The Pioneer reported.

"Alright." Seeker smiled.

"I can't believe that they're this friendly. Look at all that we got." Lynd laughed.

The two were equipped with the strongest Supreme Exoskeleton on the ship and even deployed a few more down to Earth at a certain location. Nogard waited and was slowly collecting it as planned. A portion of the Many mansions was taken, and after acquiring the suits, Nogard immediately left and headed towards the Americas.

"The Tyrant Empress sure is generous. Not one of these suits goes to her."

"She doesn't need to. She has Lennox by his side. They can soon create it."

"Our armies' power will surely double or triple after this." Lynd smiled.

"We will need the materials, though. Not to mention the power source. Take this, for example." Seeker reached out and took the strange red ore. He then held it up and was about to put it in his mouth.

"You can eat that?" Lynd was amazed.

"I was the Realm King's Disciple. He thought the theory back then. You were able to copy it. You haven't tried?"

"I just don't feel comfortable devouring something that can explode like a nuclear bomb."

"Get used to it. With the power that those two are using, fighting a desperate and cornered Shakstress will make her create massive attacks that we won't be able to evade. Our combined power will still run out of energy if we face her as we would probably be going on the defensive." 

"Shall we go back? The battle should be reaching a critical juncture."

"Let's.." Seeker opened a portal, and the two stepped in.
