Chapter 507 All Eyes On Egypt
A full week has passed since the war began in Egypt and the sudden mental uprisings that changed the allegiances of the nations almost instantaneously.
The WGP were the first to quell and conquer the technology. Most of their metals were made from the Prime Almetal, which was harvested over in the Arctic nations, and the reported people who died at the sudden coming to life of the metals were only seventeen.
The nations that refused the offer of Greece were aided by the WGP as the massive ice islands in the Arctic nations began to move.
The underground mine where the Prime Almetals were taken from was also lost as if the Arctic nations took the entire underwater mining ground.
The Worlds Helm also made its move and made a shocking alliance that caused a great divide among all the world's strongest nations.
A massive chunk of the floating cities that rose near Ireland, Portugal, Iceland, and Greenland suddenly moved and declared their alliance with the WGP.
These gigantic cities were then revealed to have been part of the WGP.
Many other floating cities in Asian regions did the same. Korea, Phil-Pangea, New Zealand, and Japan began to move toward the World Governing Trading Hub in the region formerly known as Hawaii.
Antarctica also had numerous actions as heat signatures were detected there. Bases started to rise, all of which belonged to the WGP. A massive fleet began to move out and assist numerous nations that requested aid and helped them at the cost of becoming their men.
The nations that suffered greatly from the Uprising of Metal faced more cruelty as the WGP offered to save them or kill them. Their only choice was to be saved and carry collars that might kill them at any time.
In that week, the WGP showed its power by saving many nations and enslaving them to be their chess piece.
But some nations easily resisted the mental uprising as secret forces and underwaters cities rose to be their savior. They were more benevolent than the WGP.
The Unlocked Army knew who these people were. They were the Presiders who had no choice but to surface and claim land and territory. Some even fought and drove back the WGP. Numerous Emperors and Empresses were killed in the clash as strange technology could easily kill them.
The WGP fleets that either succeeded in enslaving a nation or were defeated by the Presiders that moved from all over the world gathered together at the World's Helm and the World Governing Trading Hub. The Many Mansions of all Emperors and Empresses of the WGP appeared and declared that they would soon gather to activate a powerful science that they had hidden since World War 3.
Egypt faced its tribulations as the world fell into a piece by either allying with Greece, the WGP, or the Presiders.
Most Egyptian mobile fortresses had to issue a full retreat at the collapse of cities from numerous fronts.
The threat of the plague of the metal frogs and the bloody vampire flies led to a collapse of the logistics. An army of vampires had vanished, and numerous mobile bases had gone dark as they would be attacked. Some vanished out of existence, and no one could be reached to report their whereabouts.
The entire land of Egypt was covered in darkness as the dark clouds sent by the WGP's Many Mansions had covered all of the lands and kept the sun from reaching them. The eternal night added horrors as the creeping undead ravaged the land. Vampires and zombies began to move along the night to attack the many towns.
Town after town, city after city, began to evacuate and rush towards the massive fortress of Egypt.
The world followed the events of Egypt, and many wars soon stopped. However, the rise of Egypt and the ravaging attacks caused everyone to be alert and watch the events that could possibly be their future.
"Any satellite scans yet?" One of the troubled leaders of Africa asked. They had already untied and gathered in one room to deal with any possible overflow from the war.
"No such luck. We cannot confirm if the Desert Empires remain in Egypt. Our forces and scouts have been sent and retrieved numerous weapons that we are now reverse engineering. The base that controls the locust has also been ransacked. Our scientists are doing all they can to create a workable way to counter it or weaponize it without tech possibilities." A General answered.
"Any movements from other nations?"
"Several fleets are watching by the ocean, prepared to make an attack. Everyone is anticipating a great war against Egypt. One of those gigantic ships ought to appear with the mysterious retreat on all sides. Everyone uses whatever sciences they have to identify the hidden locations on earth as to where a fluctuation of energy will be detected..."
"To think that warp technology would be possible. And here we thought that we are a hundred years too soon to explore that..." Finally, the president of one of the nations in the collective alliance of Africa sat down and observed the screens.
"Wait for them." A cold voice echoed around. The leaders of Africa turned and bowed to their supreme leader. This was the person who stopped the WGP's invasion of central Africa. Most southern regions submitted to the WGP, but those at the center found a new servant.
Presider Feyor watched the screens with a serious expression.
"Have our armies be prepared to move out. I will have to meet with these secret leaders... The invasion of Egypt may happen soon." Feyor gave his last instructions, and warp technology caused the seat he was seated on to disappear along with her.
"I can't believe it. All the hell we've been through these past days was because a powerful superpower gave its support to Egypt!" One of the leaders exclaimed.
"You don't have to believe it. Between the WGP, the Desert Empress that managed to push back the WGP, or whoever it is hiding in Egypt, Our God-King Feyor is better! Just follow his instructions, and we will be safe!" Another answered.
Indeed, because of the appearance of the Presiders, those nations that they took control of had their eyes set on Egypt.
What was surprising was that even with the uprising of metals, those that attacked Egypt did not make a full retreat but held their ground in Egypt.
"So that Many Mansion is not a WGP Emperor! To think it would be the secret gods of this world!" One of the African leaders continued to observe the events in the east of Egypt.
The Many Mansion that caused a change in the weather remained there. It was creating dark and thick nimbus clouds that turned day into night over Egypt. Another part of Egypt had also transformed into a terrifying terrain.
"That Many Mansion is definitely in leagues with this other group!" Another asserted.
"No! We've been through this many times! Whoever managed to steal that massive round ship is only using the wind!" A scientist reminded.
"A pillar of light is shooting out of the skies! Looks like Egypt is finally doing something about clouds!" One of the men reported.
At the heart of Egypt was a massive fortress that rose from the underground world, and a massive and tall structure towered over it. It was taller than mountains and even broke through the dark clouds.
It was now known to the world as Babel from the ancient story in the Bible.
At the great heights of it was Andronze, who activated another tech that managed to cause the clouds to disappear over the massive fortress.
Seeing the success of how the clouds were being pushed back, Andronze quickly traveled down as she began to pass through the metals and flew directly to the base and center of this massive fortress.
Her Throne was there, and she took a seat.
Suddenly, numerous metals that were scattered around began to reform themselves, and they had the shape of Lanterk.
"Finally. It took you a while to clear the clouds."
"I had more issues to deal with." Her expression remained unhappy.
One of the greatest losses that Andronze had to suffer was the potential betrayal or commandeering of one Orbital! The Orbital was much more expensive and powerful than four mobile bases combined! Attempts to retake the Orbital had all failed, and the scouts that were watching from a distance were all massacred.
The Orbital itself had used the power of the wind to wrap itself around the thick dark clouds.
A storm was brewing and was growing more and more stronger. Because of this, it was difficult even to see what was going on inside the thick clouds.
"I've noticed. Resolve them all. All eyes are now on Egypt because of the effort I made to save you. The chaos and threats that the Lost Primordial and the Progenitor will definitely make all of them hesitate to attack you. You should be safe for a week or so. They won't attack you in fear of my power activating. They ought to be discussing plans to stop my power from affecting all metals."
"Thank you."
"Now tell me. You said you have a secret legacy at hand. What is it?"
"The power that I have found should work with your metal powers well. It's a power that can impart your very mind to objects. And this can be done without wasting Universe Energy!" Andronze revealed.
Lanterk drew a small smile.
"Interesting. Tell me more..."
