The police of the city had created a perimeter outside of the battle. The officials told them that whenever any of those organizations that controlled the moon or the giant saucer were to fight, they would not shoot but only evacuate and save the civilians.

But this order proved to be vague for the cops.

The building that was attacked belonged to one of the most prestigious and influential conglomerates in South America. This belonged to one of the few corporations that managed to survive the world's changing economics and even issue a very lucrative deal with Unlocked Industries.

Unlocked Industries had sent a private army to save this organization but fearing the possibility of this group being tied to any power, the city's mayor refused any aid.

The police watched outside as soldiers bearing strange techs and showing what could be seen as superpowers appeared. Some could leap up over ten meters. Some could lift a car.

Yet these supermen didn't bother with the police but focused on attacking the inside of the building.

"Are we not going to save those people? I know some of them inside..." One of the police sighed.

"We have confirmation that those inside are linked to a Presider. Many of those people in there are Pioneers and Planteds. That's the word from the Governor."

"Those guys are definitely aliens! Look! That guy just got several bullets to the heart, and it pierced through! But now that guy is fighting again after taking a strange pill! We don't have those techs! So naturally, aliens!" One of the cops observed.

"Will you stop it with all those alien theories?! We've already had the WGP's confirmation that whoever those guys are, they are human!"

"And you believe the lies of the WGP who are also aliens? Haven't you read the impossible growth of techs this world has since World War III? Technologies of all sorts that never existed just exploded out of nowhere?"

"It happened in World War I and II! Tanks were invented during those wars, and we have all those stories of how the Nazis have powerful techs that surpass the WGP! It's because when pressed for survival, we grow!"

"I know, but if you listen to what this podcast has to say-"

"Oh, shut up. It's not aliens! It's underground mole people!"

"Some say it's mutants. Like these people are evolved form of ours."

"Wrong. They are us from the future time traveling to fight now before the war happens! Haven't you seen the news on that border in Egypt a few months ago? Several naked humans who possessed superpowers greater than what we see now appeared!"

"No! Stop watching science fiction! This is a fight between vampires and werewolves! How many sightings do we have already? Vampires in Egypt and werewolves in India! They were real! Some say they were even the ones who created vampire and werewolves movies as a marketing strategy to gather more people!"

The police commissioner listened and sighed at the arguments that his men had. But he could not find the will to correct them and discipline them to be on guard. He felt like he was just a decoration in the area. He had no power to do anything.

"Where will I be in this new world? What can I do?" He sighed.

"Don't move. And be quiet. If you move and panic, they will think you are insane. Only you can hear my voice. Look around. I'll allow you to move your head. But if you choose to scream, no one will believe you." A voice suddenly called out.

The Police commissioner froze, and as the voice said, he could only move his head. The other soldiers were not even a meter away from him. Yet they did not move or react.

"Make a feint whisper to talk to me. Speak."

"Who...?" The Commissioner whispered.

"It's still a little loud. Soften it up a bit more so that your men won't notice you."

"Is this...?"

"That's good. Do you want to know what's happening? Do you want to find a place in this world and have the strength to fight this chaos?"

"... Yes." The Police Commissioner whispered.

"I can help you. In a few moments, two werewolves will appear nearby. Panic will ensue, and you will head to the cafe nearby and hide inside. You'll find a comm device under the table with a yellow flower. That will contain all the answers you are looking for. I have the power to look into a person's heart, and so I can tell who can be of use for the battles to come. Do you understand?"

"...Yes." The Commissioner answered.

"Good. Don't look for me or ask for me. Otherwise, people will think you've gone mad or worse. The enemy might be suspicious of you." The voice disappeared, and the Commissioner could move.

He looked around to see if there was anything around him. He found the cafe that the man talked about and could see a yellow flower on one of the tables through the windows.

"Commissioner? Your orders?"

"No-nothing. I just felt like there are-"

BOOM!

Suddenly, the earth erupted a block behind them. Two werewolves leaped out of the sky and had blood.

A strange snake made of lightning and wind emerged.

"Kill the boy!" the serpent shouted.

Three men emerged wearing an Exoskeleton that had a dark tint. They wielded a spear and a shield and flew to meet one of the Werewolves.

The police were startled, and the Commissioner remembered the mysterious man's words and ran towards the cafe. The nearby police scattered. Many was a step late and had followed their Commissioner.

But the Commissioner already saw the Comm device and kept it as the explosions began.

The large snake moved with great speed and chased after the larger werewolf.

Suddenly, the werewolf charged back and used its paw to catch the moving serpent.

BOOM!

The paw met the serpent, and the werewolf withstood the raging lightning, but his arms continued to push hard against the sound.

"Very strong! Just like the real Walls of Jericho. But kid, remember the rules..." Amir whispered.

The serpent pushed stronger, and the mouth opened.

"Die! Anti-Presider!"

BOOM!

A strong wind exploded out of the mouth, creating a powerful shockwave. The compressed Wind had been released, and the sudden pressure was like a huge bomb exploding.

The explosion caused the cry of Cliff to echo out throughout the city.

"Hahaha! Very good! Show me what you got, Progenitor Clone!" Amir laughed as his figure remained strong and withstood the massive bomb. His body wasn't even damaged from the attack.

Inside one of the nearby buildings, a beautiful girl watched as the serpent fought against the wolf.

Suddenly, a figure emerged behind him.

"Done with your errand, Lynd?"

"Yep. I found a guy whose emotions were in the right place. So I decided to recruit him. He is also a Police Commissioner. This will allow us to have better control of the cops in this city." Lynd answered.

"Man, Cliff has it rough. Look at that fight!"

"I was worried that Cliff would forget the laws set for every clash between our forces. But it's good that he remembered. Now we wait..."

"And here I thought you are confident that no Presider will interfere this fight."

"I trust Alean when she said that no other Presiders won't. But It's better to be safe."

"Well, at least I don't need to fight."

"Actually, you do. You still have to be tested after all."

"Me? But I thought I am already on the Ranked Heroes list. Besides, the three of us had been fighting! So what more tests do I need?" Meryl frowned.

"That doesn't count. We always hold back against you. We're friends, after all. And since your Path to shine is related to beauty, we can't really bring out the best of our abilities as we are close friends. So naturally, the other Unlocked is complaining. Those higher in the Ranked Heroes list are granted stronger techs. I think Amir's presence here is also because he wants to prove that Cliff doesn't deserve the ranking he has as he is untested. So Seeker decided to have him face an Overcomer to silence his critics. But there's you."

"Eh? Who will fight me?"

"I'm glad you asked that." A sinister voice was heard.

SLASH!

A mighty sword slashed and appeared as a figure wearing an Exoskeleton appeared.

Meryl was knocked back and sent flying to the side.

"Tsk. That was too weak, huh?" The Exoskeleton sighed as her visor opened up and revealed another pretty white face.

"Hello, Lynd." Irvana greeted.

"I guess I should be taking Meryl's Ranked Heroes place. I could have easily assassinated her if I didn't hold back! Maybe I should replace her as the spot among your little team so that I can be with my Seeker." Irvana laughed.

"Little girl... Know your place." Meryl walked closer. Before the slash arrived, Meryl blocked the blade with her arm.

Despite blocking the attack barehanded, Meryl had no wounds.

"What...? No wounds?"

"Meryl took one of those specialized soldier training programs so she could fight better. As long as she fights anything below Overcomers, she can withstand attack. Unless you can reach the level of Typical's needles, you won't be able to wound her." Lynd smiled as he moved back.

The arm that blocked the slash was growing red with great energy.

Irvana frowned as she watched the arm and her helmet sealed up once more.

"A cultivator's body... You guys have been keeping this a secret! I guess I have to be a little more serious." Irvana powered up her suit, and the power of Wind surrounded her.

"Careful, Meryl. It looks like Irvana has mastered Hermes's Realm in a way that it's combat effectiveness. She seems to know all four forms of the Wind of Hermes."

"Oh? It looks like Hermes has been holding out on the techs he has been reporting to us."

"Scared that I might steal the limelight from you?" Irvana laughed.

"What's a little thief like you gonna do? Break Wind?" Meryl sneered.

"If I beat her, do I have the qualifications to replace her in the placement of war?" Irvana asked Lynd.

"Sure. You know how our armies work. Only the strong are followed. Even if they make crazy plans that destroy half of the world, we will follow the strong." Lynd shrugged.

"Good! Let's fight, Empress of the Sun!" Suddenly, Irvana disappeared without a trace.

Meryl looked around, and even with his eyes that can see through all forms of light and find those that use cloaking technology, she could not sense Irvana.

"Fine! Let's play a little Cops and Robbers, Thief in the Night!"
