The moment Vender took the mic and made his talk, Hermes and Lowengren had to use their Unlocking to stop themselves from injuring their internal organs.

Even Arthur, who was inside the ship, froze up from Vender's words.

"That idiot!!!" The three of them shouted the same thing at the same time.

Andornze was startled at Hermes's sudden scream.

"What? What happened?" Andronze immediately asked. The power of Vender's Vexation did not affect her as a third party who only listened to the broadcast.

On her end, she only thought there was a connection issue, and that Vender thought he was not yet connected.

The Four Winds continued to make strange dance, but they all held in their desire to curse at Vender.

The identity of Lowengren was one of the important secrets that they had to guard. If Lowengren is alive, then it means that those who instigated the attack during the Australian Avarice would be linked to Lowengren. The Unlocked had been doing their best to paint a totally different villain behind their actions to confuse the Presiders. And if Lowengren's identity was revealed, it could uncover the plot, and a massive war will happen in Pangea! Lowengren's identity was even more critical than Hermes's identity!

Seeker, who was listening, coughed up blood. He was already in great pain from what he saw, and the added stress caused him to actually wound himself.

"That-...! That...!" Seeker cursed

Lynd and Meryl also had shocked expressions.

"Who is that guy?!" Meryl exclaimed.

"I'll break that guy's mouth for talking!" Seeker swore.

"Zeek! You're alright?"

Seeker realized that the strange nauseated, and confusing sensation disappeared.

"You're right...! I must tread on his Path!" Seeker vowed again.

"Are we going in?" Meryl asked.

"Not yet. It's too dangerous now. It's just amazing! That Vender's path! Look! The ship!" Lynd pointed at the ship

In that few seconds when Vender's broadcast started, the shields, the distorting space, all paused. Those piloting and commandeering Shakstress's ship were startled at the sudden broadcast. And this surprise caused them to pay attention. And so, Vender's path worked on all of them.

The distraction was enough for Andronze, Pridgeon, and Miranne to send another volley of attacks, and it all successfully bypassed the multiple defenses of Shackstress's spacecraft.

It wasn't just Presider Shakstress, but most of the Presiders who were ordered to control the many defensive measures that she allowed were also confused at the broadcast.

And those critical seconds allowed the enemy to send their attacks that bypassed the large rotating force fields.

"Presider!" The calls of the Pioneers awakened Shakstress from her shock.

And she took aim and made a grasping notion towards Octarion, who was retreating.

But as the space around Octarion began to change, a powerful vibration arrived first and began to quake the dimensions.

A large translucent white palm appeared out of the space around them as the strange vibration forced it out.

Octarion saw it and began to evade it as necessary.

Shakstress frowned and kept her hand but then...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The next volley of attacks from Pridgeon and Andronze finally hit the ship.

Immense vibrations from the attacks caused the minuscule ship to move from the impact.

"Presider! Our shields have been breached!"

But even before the Pioneer gave his report, Shasktress had already begun to initiate the powerful power that harnessed the Universe energy to bring out her strongest arsenal.

"God Hand!" 

A massive arm appeared in the sky above. It was larger than the Moon ship of Pridgeon, and it moved down.

The two Presiders began to panic and released all their attacks towards the mighty arm that was crushing down on them.

The trembling vanished, and while Shakstress was able to do it in less than a second, Octarion was already quite a distance from her.

"Die!" She raised her hand and used God Hand on the fleeing Octarion.

"Repent!" A loud shout echoed all over the ship. It was as if the source of this shout was right next to them.

The shout created another immense vibration. As the vibrations intensified, a white, translucent hand that could cover up Octarion appeared in the space before them.

"WHAT?!" Shakstress was shocked. The Hand she used outside was the wide-scale version, and the one that she used to attack Octarion was a smaller and more refined power. It should have killed Octarion immediately, but something in the three dimensions was causing the other dimensions to shake and revealed the form of the hand.

Richie finally came to view as Octarion retreated. He charged forward and made his attack.

"Roar of Judah!" Richie shouted as he reached the wrecked zone of the battle.

BOOM!

A spear of sound shot towards Shakstress and intercepted the strange hand.

The spear made of sound was caught by the hand, and the two began to battle it out. But the constant sound was being dispersed.

Shakstress cursed and raised her other hand to make another attack.

"You're pitiful sound is nothing to me!" Shackstress shouted.

"Now!" Arthur ordered.

Among all of them, Gardo was the only one who had great resistance to Vender's powers and was able to keep up a high level of concentration. So Arthur ordered Gardo to wait and hide among the Pioneers until a critical moment appeared.

His training during their time in Egypt was showing as Vender's nonsensical rants distracted Shakstress but allowed him to position himself on that key location and even save Richie and Octarion.

Gardo was cursing at Vender's broadcast, but he still managed to move near Shakstress to perform his attack and redirect the direction of her attack.

Gardo's figure appeared right above Shakstress. He had long been in the area and was waiting for Arthur to give the command.

Gardo's body was steaming hot as he continued to increase the heat and loosen the compression of his body.

"Jet Kick!" Gardo shouted as his reddened leg stretched out kicked right at the arm of Shasktress.

BOOM!

The powerful kick redirected the aim of Shakstress's arm.

The arm was thrown downwards, and the attack shot out and struck the floor.

BOOM!

A massive arm appeared and struck the ground, causing the entire floor under Shasktress to cave in. The Pioneers and Planted were escaping.

The Throne of Shakstress floated above as the floor collapsed. The previous attacks of Octarion had already damaged the zone they were in, and the attack of Shakstress was the massive slap that broke the camel's back.

Shakstress cursed angrily and used God Hand to chase after Gardo, who was closest to her.

The hand that fought against the spear won and chased after Richie and Octarion. Another arm appeared and moved towards Gardo.

Gardo could sense it and created explosions on his legs to keep throwing him out, but the arm was faster.

The massive hand covered around Gardo and palm clutched on Gardo.

Suddenly, a strange pull appeared and pulled Gardo out as the fingers of the hand barely missed Gardo.

BOOM!

An explosion occurred as the translucent arm clutched on empty air, and Gardo was safely pulled out.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Several shockwaves exploded around and struck Shakstress that pushed her Throne back.

"Another sound user!" Shakstress cursed as she turned over to the direction of where Chase Brender was seen. 

Chase Brender shot several Sound bombs that had more strength than a Pangean Whiplash bomb.

"Hey! You're wide open!" Richie zoomed closer since the Hand that hindered his previous attack disappeared after Gardo's kick.

Another Spear of Sound rushed towards Shakstress.

BOOM!

But a huge shield covered Shakstress and managed to block the Roar of Judah!

Richie cursed.

"We'll need to have my spear and your fist to break through that." Richie sighed.

"I'll kill you all!" Shakstress vowed. For the first time in a long time, she lost her composure and was enraged in the middle of a battle.

The shield around her grew bright.

Massive energy began to gather around Shakstress as she prepared a wide-scale attack that crossed the dimensions.

But Arthur was waiting for this moment. When the attacks of Chase Brender attacked her, another small wave of sound was sent that carried several bombs that were the pride of the Unlocked Armies.

A Horn that contained the desolation of Meng and a metal cube that contained an explosive lightning attack of Lennox hovered inconspicuously behind Shackstress.

Shakstress would have noticed this small detail, but the many distractions and attacks happening to her and to her ship made her fail to notice it! But the most frustrating element that caused her to fall in such poor circumstances despite her innate ability that surpassed Arthur's calculation was a voice.

"Hello, Shakstress! So I'm a cyborg from the future. I serve Principal... Erm... What's his name again? Right! Gary! Anyway! I'm here to tell you about the future. Surrender now or else! We will kill Pridgeon! In the future, you two get together. You might not know it now, but he's the one you've been looking for all your life!" Vender declared. 

There was something about Vender's words that made Shakstress lose her focus. As the fights continued, Vender had constantly talked to Shakstress, costing Shasktress a huge percentage of her focus.

"I knew it! If that Presider is being distracted with Vender, I can outwit and out-play her!" Arthur smiled. The Horn and the Cube were set not to explode immediately but after a certain time. And Arthur had timed it all to happen on this precise second.

BOOM! BOOM!

Two explosions occurred.

A green bomb and a lightning bomb that contained massive energy, heat, and desolation attacked Shakstress.

"AHHH!" The Throne was thrown back. The energy she charged inside the shield was in disarray and even collapsed on itself.

The great being that surpassed humans' limits and was considered an ethereal transcended being was finally harmed.

"Attack now!" Arthur ordered.
