Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Truth Against Trusting Lies

← Ch. 672 All Chapters

Liani stood petrified and shocked all her other friends.

The elevator began to start its ascension as it moved up.

Seeker saw that the elevator’s stops were set as numerous floors began to summon it.

Seeker held on to the elevator’s control and began to alter the code.

It still stopped on the floors that called it but didn’t open and would move to the next.

Nevertheless, the speed of their rise changed.

"Liani. Someone has hacked the elevator controls. What exactly did your family find?" Seeker asked again.

"We... didn’t think much of it. But... a few months ago... We found the armband that belonged to the Ben10 Killer."

"What?!" A chorus of cries were heard.

Seeker was also surprised.

"So Harker and Lowengren calculated things so far that even me meeting them was part of their plans. This is bad. This means those two hold a lot of my Fate here. They have already orchestrated and controlled so much." Seeker thought.

"You... found the armband of the Ben10 Killer?!" Emily exclaimed.

"Liani! What did your family do?!" Amalene cried.

The other girls also began to express their frustration.

"Everyone! Calm down! This is adulthood. If you want to be a Presider, you should take every chance you get! If you found the Ben10 Killer and had a shot at gaining unimaginable powers that could take down a Presider, are you just going to give it over to the Presider? Besides, the Presider might kill you simply because you know of that information. He won’t trust you to be so generous. So, honestly, her family didn’t have a choice." Seeker answered.

"That’s crazy! This is the BEn10 killer! We won’t be so crazy as keep it to ourselves!" Amalene countered.

"Amalene, stop lying. The soldiers were asking for you as well! You might not have the band, but if they identified you, then your family must have taken something. Something related to the Ben10 Killer. I am more powerful and have greater legacies than all of you combined, yet I was not listed among the names the soldier mentioned." Seeker countered.

Amalene and Emily were both silenced by Seeker’s accusations.

"Do not lie. You all have something from him, don’t you? And now, we’re all caught up in this."

"He’s right." A voice spoke from the elevator speakers.

Seeker recognized the voice.

"And who might you be?"

"Call me, Lovergreen."

"What do you want, Lowengren?" Seeker frowned.

"It’s Lovergreen. And I want the techs your friends have. Finder Golderon. Prince of the Golderon clan and wielder of the Golden Arm. It’s nice to have found someone as elusive as you. After all, wasn’t the Ben10 killer’s tech related to your family’s tech? I decided that we would take it."

"What floor is the control room?" Seeker ignored Lowengren and asked Liani. This time there was urgency in his tone.

"The same floor we are headed to!"

Seeker quickly raised his arm as the golden arm appeared once more.

"Get up there as fast as you can and follow me!"

BOOOM!

Seeker suddenly leaped out and pierced through the top of the elevator’s ceiling.

He quickly rose up the shaft ran on the wall towards the destination floor and punched at the elevator doors.

BOOOM!

"Finder." Harker smiled as he stood there with a large shotgun.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Harker let out several bullets as Seeker evaded and leaped from one side to the other and began to run in a circle within the shaft.

"Seriously?" Seeker asked.

"It wouldn’t be a challenge unless we’re trying to kill each other!" Harker laughed as his Inhuman reaction chased and took aim at Seeker.

The bullets failed to hit Seeker but as Harker had an Inhuman’s reaction, Seeker could only evade it due to the fact he was slightly faster than the bullets.

And Seeker knew that even slightly touching these bullets would leave wounds on his body even if he was an Inhuman! Taking too many rounds would even kill him!

The pressure and onslaught of Harker’s attack made it impossible for Seeker to close in as Harker was always on point on each attack.

"We will kill your other friends in twenty seconds. That is if you care for them." Harker taunted.

The Golden Arm disappeared and became a golden boot. A small short sword also manifested in his arm.

With the arm, he was able to create a single booster that allowed him to bounce and fly around and evade the attacks.

But the elevator was rising up and the small gap in the elevator door would force Seeker to meet with the bullets.

"Unless you Overcome, you won’t ever get to me!" Harker laughed.

Seeker’s path was limited. He could not access any of his marvelous powers that could create various Paths.

Relying on his Golden Arm was foolishness as these bullets would easily breach through the hardest material that his armband could create.

"If you want me to Overcome... then that’s something that I’ll gladly show you! You’ve become a little arrogant, Harker!" Seeker’s eyes turned blue as his powers began to alter the code of the world.

BOOM!

Seeker leapt towards Harker.

"Idiot!" Harker laughed as he shot a round towards Seeker.

BANG!

The bullets and shrapnel that the shotgun created were not ordinary. It utilized the techs of Pioneers in this world and could penetrate through thick steel. The speed of the shot was so two times faster than sound as Harker unleashed a special round.

The bullets and Seeker drew closer to each other when the code of the world was forced to accept the being that was Seeker.

The bullets slowly diverted its linear path. It moved and strayed off by a bit.

But within this small gap, it allowed Seeker to pass through as he adjusted his position almost instantly.

SLASH!

Seeker was instantly behind Harker as the power of the Passover allowed him to slip through the bullets.

The Passover manifested in the virtual reality of Marrho’s world.

Seeker turned around to see Harker.

"What?!"

Instead of a body that was cut in half, all that was left was an automated turret with a shotgun at the top.

A faint light forming the body of Harker began to flicker.

The turret had been sliced right at the center and fell down.

"A Hologram?!"

"You trusted that I was there." Harker’s voice could be heard chuckling nearby as four more stood at the end of each side.

"Now let’s see that Passover works against four of these." Four figures of Harker were present and all holograms aimed the shotgun and fired.

The seeker then felt a strange terror in his heart.

"Is Lowengren... aiming a sniper at me?"

"Technically five. We forgot to mention. In the past two years, Lennox helped us create a thought process. It can’t think like us, but giving it simple commands like aiming and shooting allows us to have robots and remote devices with Inhuman reactions." Lowengren’s voice was heard in the speakers.

Seeker cursed.

"Don’t give him a chance to survive. Kill him." Harker ordered.

"Yes, sir. How bout’ it, Zeek? The Truth versus Trusting Lies! Passover this, bitch!" Lowengren’s roared.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Four rounds of bullets and a sniper fire from a distance all happened at the same time.
