The sudden uprising of metals created chaos all over the world. Even with the WGP fortresses, there were some instances of the metals suits and some of the bombs suddenly going off without warning.

Even with the Call of Automaton, these metals were not contained.

Nations fell into turmoil as the sudden army that they were training suddenly began to be their enemies.

Some were very unlucky in that most of their forces were their enemies!

Other nations were luckier as the sudden uprising didn\'t affect many of their forces.

The sudden uprising remained a mystery until the sudden uprising ended in numerous nations.

A broadcast from the leaders of Greece demanded these nations surrender or that the metals would rise again.

It was then revealed that a special metal of their making was causing the metals to move at their command and their programming. And Greece, which was a major supplier of these metals, had altered theirs and created a unique technology that could move it.

An hour since the metals began to move and attack, millions of lives had already been lost all over Europe, Russia, and the Middle East.

However, the nations in Asia and South-East Asia had very few instances of the uprising of metals. Some guns would shoot randomly and cause deaths, and some microwaves and cooking devices went on a rampage, but no weapons or devices officially made and used by the military had these issues.

The chaos in the Caliphates was tremendous. Israel suffered a huge blow. They had forces invading other neighboring cities, but then, these same weapons began to attack indiscriminately.

Inside the Many Mansions, the entire ship was covered with lightning.

Arthur had told his father what was coming based on the reports, and they had to create a surge of energy to purge the strange EMP that caused metals to act wildly. But a special round was being channeled and set all over Egypt.

The ones sent to Egypt would command non-Egyptian metals and force them to fight. They weren\'t even made from the metals of Greece but still moved out of control.

The pulse continued for an hour, and the Many Mansions resisted control from the malevolent beam for that long hour.

"What power..." Lennox reformed into a human and fell to his knees. Arthur was already ready to catch him.

Lennox had an exhausted expression on his face as he used a lot of energy to stop the uprising of the metals.

"It seems we cannot attack for this hour..." Lennox shook his head as he watched his energy level. He had to exhaust a massive amount to stop the metals from moving.

"Thankfully, all Unlocked began to use metals with our cells in it. So those above Unbecoming Proficient should be able to stop their metals for a time. And those skilled in Realm would be able to stop it." Arthur observed the news and saw that the chaos was happening worldwide.

"Pangea wouldn\'t suffer from this. I can see that Lanterk has managed to infiltrate most metal crafting organizations secretly. This little trick of Lanterk is forcing many nations to ally with them." Arthur nodded.

"This was outside of your prediction, Arthur."

"He is a Principal, Father." Arthur respectfully answered.

"It seems we both have a lot of things that we should improve on. This will make Unlocked Industries even more popular in other nations. And I believe Greece will target the Unlocked industries. We\'ve got some problems on our hands... This trick will delay our attacks. But how long?"

"The main purpose of this uprising of metals is for Lanterk to buy Andronze several days or weeks by halting all Presiders of their attacks. I believe while most of the Earth felt a weakened version, all Presiders would have suffered from this attack. Since most in Egypt and Africa relied on the metal from Greece, or other metals produced by industries with the spies or men following Lanterk, it will take the Tyrant Empress a full week to attack again."

"Let\'s just hope that the Council of the Wicked finds her by then." Lennox sighed.

"You underestimate them. They may have found her already."

BEEP!

"Testing! Attention, please! This is your MC for today! Vender the Rapper! Uh!" The annoying voice suddenly echoed out.

"Why did you have to answer it?" Arthur shook his head as he gave his father an annoyed look.

"This Vender has gotten stronger. I didn\'t answer the phone. His powers somehow allowed it to automatically answered." Lennox was amazed.

"Vender. Based on your happy tone, I presume that you found my sister?"

"Yes!"

"Is she with you?"

"No."

"..."

"Give me that!" Gardo cursed.

"Arthur. We found your sister. But she can\'t leave. I\'m sure you already know. Her Path is very powerful that taking her now will make Andronze sense it. They are in a massive ship that\'s probably three times or four times bigger than the King Naga. It is also, Andronze\'s secret flagship. She calls it the Nile Serpent. It\'s strong, and it\'s alive. Your sister has the power to pour out her spirit into something to make it alive. Andronze uses her as a medium to allow her to control it."

"She planned to make that massive ship another incarnation of her."

"Right. Anyway, all of Egypt is not affected by the power of Lanterk. Your sister knows because of her link to the mind of Andronze left in the Serpent. This is Lanterk\'s way of saying thanks for helping him in the battle."

"I guessed as much. What is your current status?"

"Right now, we managed to tame the Serpent and have already deceived the Serpent. And we plan to use it to our advantage. Harker and Lowengren are now initiating a plan to deceive and manipulate everyone in the ship to fight for our side. And it seems that Andronze is afraid of linking with this secret ship."

"She\'s afraid that other Presiders will notice."

"You got it. Anyway... Woah! What are you doing?! Can\'t you just hold it in!?" Gardo cursed.

"What\'s going on?" Lennox was confused.

"I believe Vender is urinating somewhere near Gardo," Arthur predicted what happened.

Lennox facepalmed.

"Erm... Anyway... Through the Serpent, we found the bases of the Presiders to be in chaos. So, I\'m guessing that many Presiders will decide against attacking Andronze now. But we have a file that we can use to draw out the Presiders anyway. Lanterk and Andronze will think this will delay and cause most Presiders to attack Egypt. But if we release this file, it will force nearly all Presiders to fight Andronze! It has to do with Seth."

"...He\'s the Lost Primordial."

"You figured it out already, huh? That\'s right. It wasn\'t Seth. It was a lie by the Lost Primordial. The Seth we thought we found was actually the body of the Lost Primordial! We can reveal the recording of Seth and make it look like it\'s within the base of Andronze. That way-"

"It will force all Presiders to attack Egypt and move outside of the expectations of Lanterk and Andronze. Lanterk aimed to delay, but our deception will force many Presiders to join in this war. I already know what to do. We have a full week to prepare. It seems that Seeker and the rest can join this wild party. Let\'s end this call. I have to inform Seeker and immediately leak the report to all Presiders. Send me the video of the Lost Primordial."

"Already sent!"

"Good. Prepare for a massive war. Expect all Presiders to be there." Arthur disconnected.

On the other side of the world, Seeker and the group had just resolved the issue with the wild metals in South America.

They were in a secret facility, and all the ships suddenly went wild. Seeker had to fight it, and with him was a Throne that fought to protect it.

Zeraphine had cleared out the waves of robots as if they were nothing. Her full power was being shown.

"Thanks for saving me..." Seeker smiled as he revealed a weak expression.

Zeraphine rushed back and held on to Seeker, whose countenance suddenly turned pale.

​ She was horrified to find out that he was sent as the avatar of the Progenitor and faced Lanterk directly! Seeker almost died from the backlash and was unconscious for a full day!

"What happened?" Seeker frowned.

"It\'s Lanterk! That brat...! And I can\'t believe that Garenjazz helped him!" Zeraphine raged.

Suddenly, Seeker\'s expression changed. He was receiving a thought transmission.

"It\'s my father...!" Seeker began.

"We must... fight Egypt?" He was confused.

"Of course! Lanterk is allied with Andronze! This is a plan to stop all those attacks in Egypt! Lanterk values his alliance with Andronze! I\'ll join you! I have an army of my own, and I\'ll convince Garenjazz to help us!" Zeraphine declared.

"So we\'re fighting together, huh?"

"Stick by my side. If your father wants to control you, I have to be near to save you! Promise me that!"

"... I promise." Seeker smiled.

Deep inside Seeker\'s mind, Shackstress and the other Zeraphine watched it play out.

"The Lost Primordial\'s body is here?" Shackstress was amazed. She heard the message that Arthur sent that explained everything.

Zeraphine was also stunned.

"And it looks like this Seeker will be abusing you of this timeline. How does it feel to be used?"

"...If anything, I deserve this. But what I\'m amazed about is the power of Guinevere. Shackstress, if Seeker finds a way to find the truth of this..."

"I know. Then we have a shot at returning to the realm of the living."
