The scientist that worked under Seeker's team were based all over the world. Perhaps, within Seeker's armies, they were one of the happiest people.

The age of Technological Possibilities barred most scientists from studying the different techs around the world. Even if the capabilities of these products could be seen, and even if an extremely small percentage were applied and sold to the public as common devices, equipment, and gears that each country would export around the world, most scientists could not recreate the full extent of another.

Even though New Great Britain is more advanced than Pangea, it could not recreate Pangean Eradication or Australian EMP. But when Seeker made his armies and was now allied with very powerful and influential people, their access to technology grew and grew.

And so, Seeker's team was experiencing something that no country had experienced since the founding of the WGP.

They called it a tech explosion. The tech possibilities allowed impossibilities when merged with another tech.

The possibilities and potential of the weapons that they could develop was something that even made Seeker smile when he slept.

As such, the scientist were all busy with studying each other's techs and even communicated on how to create powerful weapons.

There were two ways that they would incorporate the mixing of various tech possibilities.

The first was to create a wide application of technology and create weapons of war that could shock the rest of the world. The second way to apply these technologies was far harder. How to incorporate these techs into a more convenient and easily accessible form.

Just as how the original computers were as big as rooms, people began to advance computers' technology to the point that a handheld device is a million times more powerful in performance and usage than what the first computers were.

One of the first creations of these scientists was a bullet.

The bullet had the same technology as the Qilin's Horn. It was impossible to create a power source that could allow the bullets to think on their own. But with Lennox lighting, it was very easy to make. The scientist already had the foundations with electromagnetic and magnetic rail technology that the different countries had. There was also the Lightning Rod tech of New Great Britain. With these as a foundation, the small bits of help that Lennox made allowed the different scientists to create sentient weapons that could 'think' and move on their own.

Truthfully, this technology was already available on the second month since the attack on China. Mass production of bullets and weapons had already happened. But these techs were not used in the Kraken because it would get detected, especially since several Emperors would have been present.

The bullet that was shot could penetrate even faster than normal rifles. Its initial speed was already fast as it was shot through a rail weapon. But now, with the addition of lightning that could think, the bullets could move and locate enemies. Thanks to the electromagnetic beacons that Twister created, the bullet was already able to detect the presence of various Exoskeletons moving around the area.

It was a malicious tech that could allow bullets to adjust aim and hit more vulnerable parts. The first Exoskeleton was struck right at the upper chest and pierced through the power generator located at the back.

But this his weapon's maliciousness did not end in this ability.

The bullet could siphon the energy that powered the Exoskeleton and use the created electricity to create another launching pad as if it was fired again by another rail-gun. This would increase the bullet's speed once more and add another surge of power that would allow it to make another intelligent attack.

The bullet raced through several soldiers and killing them with a wound on the chest. It shot out of one Exoskeleton and raced to attack another. It didn't travel in a straight line and would even shoot out from one Exoskeleton targeting a nearby enemy. Even if the Exoskeleton were positioned to the far left or right of the bullet's original trajectory, the bullet would arc and move, hitting another soldier.

"… Fifteen Tangos down." Even Paul was shocked at the power of this weapon.

Lioncourt crushed the cup of coffee he had made when the bullet was launched.

"That… was too surprising. Maybe I should crush you now…" Lioncourt gritted his teeth. For some strange reason, he could not hear what these six soldiers were saying even if he was concentrating on the area where these six were.

Normally, when his bugs would be near an Exoskeleton, Lioncourt would have been able to hear whatever the pilot would say due to Lioncourt's ability to understand vibration. But this time, he was met with a masking vibration that made the words of these soldiers unintelligible.

Paul had noticed the fly nearby but pretended to have not noticed it. He was thinking of moving in a direction that would kill it as he was afraid of what the Overcomer Lioncourt could do.

"Should I…?" Paul asked.

"No. And guys, we have no time to be surprised. Just kill and attack! We do it now before that man attacks us! Remember what that insane man did to us back then! This guy could do the same thing!" Cornus charged at the opening.

Twister and Paul made other attacks to distract and suppress the soldiers as the three members of Git Godlike charged towards the complex. The Exoskeletons and the various sentry guns began to shoot, but the multiple technologies that Twister sent out were distorting their aim.

The three members of Git Godlike were the close-ranged fighters of the Team. Cronus specialized in Piercing Blade, a Piercing character that was generally considered a double-edged sword as his most terrifying attack relied on true randomness. Arthur couldn't use it in-game, but Cronus, who had his technique dubbed as Millisecond Reaction, was perhaps the only Piercing Player who could use it properly. That is, of course, not counting any Unlocked players.

But in battle, this reaction was something that Cronus practiced and practiced that he reached a point that his ability to evade being shot by various enemies had grown to the extreme that no one on the same Unlocking stage as him could ever copy.

Two large swords protruded out of his Exoskeleton as he began to slice through the enemies that rained out bullets towards him. He was able to slip through the attacks unscathed and attacked the Exoskeletons.

Shanna, who was called Fist, revealed two large pikes on its fist, which he used to impale the enemies and used the dead and mangled soldiers as an Exoskeleton shield to attack the next Exoskeleton.

Alexa Alexa, who was called Kite, used a powerful booster that launched herself faster than Cronus and Shanna's speed.

She blasted through various Exoskeletons and even wrecked the cement walls around the complex with increasing speed. Her Exoskeleton was larger than the others, and her Exoskeleton had various protruding pikes that emitted a powerful vibration shock that was derived from Richie's sounds.

The impact created a powerful vibration that shocked the pilots and left them unable to move. Some of them who were directly struck by Alexa's charge was killed because of the whiplash.

The three retreated once more as a volley of attacks arrived.

It was then that Twister, Misty, and Paul would send their own attack that would create an opening for the three to dive once in again. Like this, the battle went on with Git Godlike slowly gaining ground and approached the entrance of the building.

Inside, the Pioneer gave his orders.

"We shoot it! The next time they move, fire the weapon!" The Pioneer commanded as a large cannon was positioned inside the mall and was aiming at the entrance.

Twister was finally able to place all the beacons around the area. He had already informed the team of the canon but now urged the rest that movement was happening inside and that it would be shot the next time Git Godlike attacked.

"Heh! What a bunch of idiots! All Guy, Hebron, we're counting on your timing." Cronus laughed.

Paul Anthony and Twister immediately acted. Twister launched a familiar canister, which they used to repel rockets' volley when they were charging in the city. As for Paul, he began to load a blue orb and took aim towards the inside of the complex, and waited.

A powerful roar was heard inside the complex. A soundwave wrecked the area and attacked the three fighters at the front, and indiscriminately killed the other soldiers who were being massacred.

But right before the sound wave reached the three members, the canister that Twister shot exploded and created a wall of sound.

The Sound wall easily blocked the ongoing sound cannon. This gave time for the three members of Git Godlike to move out of the way. A few seconds later, the sound wall ended, and the sound canon continuously shot through the area.

The Pioneer inside the building was so angry. His technology was derived from the techs that they acquired from the Government. As the Government had been experimenting on the strange power that Richie had, the Pioneer thought that his sound was superior to the enemies. But even this weapon couldn't even defeat a harnessed sound grenade.

But of course, their techs were only imitating Richie's abilities. At the same time, this sound grenade harnessed the real thing.

Paul Anthony had already repositioned himself and loaded a blue orb on his rifle, which now had a larger barrel.

He shot a blue ball into the building, and since he had repositioned himself, it did not intersect with the ongoing sound wave that the canon shot out.

The blue orb reached the location where the canon was positioned.

The Pioneer himself was there geared with a more advanced Exoskeleton.

The blue orb exploded as it struck the canon and created a blistering cold ice-field. It was as if the insides of the building had a raging snowstorm. The canon itself was frozen solid, and the Exoskeletons nearby were also frozen. Most of the soldiers were already dead from the call, and the Pioneer himself was dying.

The technologies that the enemy had far outstripped theirs. They could do nothing against these six soldiers.

Despite the ice-cold temperature, he could hear the six Exoskeletons approach. The cannon killed the guards outside.

The six arrived and did not even move fast.

"Your techs are far inferior to ours, Lost Primordial!" Cronus shouted at the frozen Pioneer Exoskeleton as Paul raised his rifle.

BANG!

Meanwhile, back at the headquarters, Lioncourt was deep in thought.

"Tch. He died. That was it. But by the looks of it, those six have revealed all their cards."

"What happened? What cards?" Chester asked.

He had sent some soldiers to approach the complex, but they were all killed. No one could tell what was going on inside. Most soldiers would even have a hard time communicating as they detected a strange electromagnetic field that interfered with their comm systems.

Many attempted to plan a comm relay inside, but they were killed while they were still kilometers from the area. General Chester kept arguing that it would be impossible for six people to snipe their forces, but Lioncourt even laughed and explained that only one of the six were snipping, which drove General Chester and his men into more disbelief.

"Well?" Chester asked.

"Judging by your expression and that loud explosion that half of the city heard, there must be something that went on in that complex!"

"It looks like we were slightly mistaken. The BOC's have a sound technology that is inferior to the ones that the six Exoskeletons used."

"If the BOC's have inferior techs, then the Lost Primordials are the ones attacking this city! The BOC's are those who are against the Lost Primordial! They could be the ones who were working with General Harker!"

"Not a very good conclusion. If the BOC's are these Anti-Primordials, then they should be allied with the WGP! We've seen and confirmed that the WGP either works with or have members that support the Anti_Primordials. Then why attack Australia? Harker could have been working for the Lost Primordials before the Australian Avarice and betrayed during the attack on the Kraken. So whoever is inside that building may not necessarily be these Anti-Primordials."

"Then who else could it be?!"

"Someone else, of course. The world thinks that there are two factions. But it looks like the secret organizations of this Earth are more than what we know. I've spent my entire life trying to learn these factions and tried to manipulate the world to ensure that Australia would only have one organization. These people, who many call Pioneers, have been doing a lot of nasty things in our city, but they were careful that I thought they wouldn't be found out. But it looks like a peaceful life is no longer possible for me." Lioncourt sighed.

"Do as planned. Destroy the entire block. It's best that you use energy-based attacks. They have already killed the Pioneer inside that building and should be retreating. I'll make sure that they won't escape."

Chester immediately ordered to send it out.

Git Godlike had entered the complex and confirmed the death of the Pioneer. All six of them gathered and glanced at their surroundings.

"Mission complete. Let's move."

"Ugh. I hope we survive this. I've never been this nervous." Alexa sighed.

The group exited the building and began to move out. It was then that it happened. They were some hundred meters from the complex and were in the middle of the large garden areas.

A Sky Satellite above this city had continuously watched over it. It had no weapons but could only monitor the city and provide alerts in detecting rocket attacks and so forth. But right before the attack on the city, Lioncourt had reached this place by unknown means and equipped the Sky Satellite with a miniature Light Breaker that he had stolen from one of the dead Bringer of Change.

With this, an EMP pulse was sent to the specific location where all Git Godlike gathered members.

The familiar scene that occurred in New Birth Fort happened once more in this city.

The entire block lost all power.

But then, the six Exoskeletons could no longer move. It was as if a force was stopping them.

"There it is!" The six still had power as their suits were EMP-proof because of the many techs that power it. It even drew energy from their Unlocking and was made with their own cells. But they were unable to move because Lioncourt used his powers to pin them down. Not even their boosters would allow them to escape.

 "I can't believe that they'd have the guts to blow this entire block! The civilians would all die!' Misty shouted hatefully.

"It's starting to make me think that that insane man was right…" Shanna sighed.

"Enough talk. It's time for Phase 2, Tech Surprise. Once we do this, we can start saving the city!" Cronus was getting impatient. Despite the fact that a strange force was making them immobile and could only allow them to wiggle around, they were calmly looking at things.

"I just hope this works…" Paul sighed.

"Don't worry! It will. Once we do that, he'll probably disable this force. And in that few seconds, we should be able to escape."

"I hope your confident of this maneuver, Twister. Our lives hang on the line, after all."

"Don't worry. I'm not even trembling." Twister lied as he tried to keep his hands from trembling.

"The rocket!" Paul could see the approaching rocket. This was the rocket that General Chester launched to destroy the entire block. The civilians around the area had not yet evacuated when they saw the coming missile.

"Activate the Lightning now!" Cronus immediately ordered.
