Several attacks from all directions were bombarding Seeker. The sight of the sun surprised even Seeker. This was Lynd's most powerful attack that he had in the alternate future!

Seeker had told him this theorized power that Lynd wielded that made him feared by his enemies. They called him the Way for his appearance that looked like the Messiah himself.

And his power was as if he was wielding the sun itself!

Although Lynd in that future could not merge different Paths in his body, Lynd created a miniature sun and used two unique rings that could generate energy as both rings would spin around each other. With an outside power source, Lynd could harness several energies and stabilize the conflicting energies. This was one of the most powerful weapons in their entire army.

But now, Lynd has managed to create the sun without the two rings. The power that Lynd created was weaker compared to the power he wielded in Seeker's future, but this barrage was dealing actual damage from Seeker.

Seeker kept evading and blocking the incoming attacks, apart from this sun giving off a barrage of attacks. Seeker finally pulled out a Ball of Thunder and crushed it to create a powerful sound force, and blasted off towards Lynd.

Seeker was evading and moving from one end of the sea to the next. But as he zig-zagged, he was slowly drawing closer to Lynd. The sword of Desolation was so strong that it would devour the waters where it would pass. The speed of Seeker was steadily increasing as there was no longer any resistance as he moved.

Lynd kept attacking as the powerful red and yellow beams kept shooting and shooting. The ocean was strange as the waters were burning hot on Seeker's side, yet there was an extremely cold occurring on another side. Stranger still was the fact that there was a small sun in the middle. 

And so the intense showdown between Seeker and Lynd was Seeker attempting to move closer and closer to Lynd, who was holding the sun to attack, and the cold to increase the amount of energy his body can sustain.

"So at this point… It's not simply about being able to Overcome. Lynd is not an Overcomer, yet he is pressuring Seeker into this corner." Cliff was amazed.

"Are you sure? Seeker is winning. Lynd cannot maintain that for a long time. While he is able to fight, he is rooted in that place. He cannot retreat. The moment Seeker approaches him, his defeat is assured. Seeker's current expenditure is controlled and well-calculated. Even if he doesn't have that ability to recharge himself, in this battle constantly, he doesn't need to."

"I disagree." Cliff spoke flatly. But Lennox did not take offense.

"How so?"

"Because Lynd is not focusing his attention on attacking. He is copying Seeker's movements and predicting them, but his thoughts are not shooting. That expression of Lynd is very blank. His eyes are not even following Seeker!"

"That's because Lynd is copying me. He's using my instincts and my ability to discern vibration to attack. That attack is practically his auto-pilot attack! But it doesn't require him to focus. Cliff is right. Lynd is saving his focus for something else. He is drawing Seeker closer and closer in his web of chaos because he wants Seeker too."

"So Lynd is entrapping Seeker?" Cliff asked.

"I see now. It seems my previous estimates of Lynd is a bit low."

"It's starting!" Cliff could see Lynd's expression changing. He had fought next to Lynd several times and even went with him on several critical missions. He knew what this expression meant.

Seeker was deep inside the maze that Lynd created. The ice, fire, needles, and lightning were chaotic. It was reminiscent of the battle between Seeker and his team of Overcomers against the Tyrant Empress.

But then, Lynd suddenly raised one of his hands as the sun grew larger. Lynd concentrated and began to shoot several powerful beams towards Seeker. The chaos in the water also grew stronger as the ocean itself began to move and change directions.

The sudden moving waters proved that Lynd had one more Path in his arsenal.

"That's Steffany's Path… So he spied on her…" Lennox spoke as if he was praising Lynd. He had not known that Lynd spied at this woman.

"He must have escaped to the Kraken after the attack. Steffany was tasked with aiding the Kraken to repair most of the damage. He must have seen it." Lennox deduced.

"It's that Ranked Hero who can control water, right? The one serving as your General?" Richie confirmed. He had heard that Lennox was able to recruit the experiment of Egypt. It was a woman who had the power to control water.

"Well, this changes everything…" Richie laughed.

The waters moved and began to push Seeker away while at the same time, a current blew underwater that pushed Lynd further away.

But Lynd was not yet done. He concentrated on Seeker and released another Path that he had managed to copy.

A strange force enveloped Seeker's body.

"Curse!" Lynd shouted as the ice around him cracked, and even his body began to crack and spurt blood.

Seeker couldn't move.

As an Inhuman, Seeker's sensation was so precise he can feel every cell in his body. And the strange power that Lynd used was actually shaking all of Seeker's cell. It created discoordination between his cells. Seeker also felt a strange sense of helplessness.

"Bad luck?" Seeker noticed it as even his Zone disappeared. He felt that he lost control and focus that even the timing of his movements was off the mark. His control over his body's energies was also wildly breaking out, and several wounds emerged all over Seeker's body.

But when that power emerged, it affected time itself. And just like with the Realm King, Seeker immediately took advantage of that distortion of time to pause time itself.

Seeker's thoughts continued while all of time stood still.

"Amazing power…" The Kid Seeker spoke.

"Indeed. Reverse Zone. A power that kills momentum. I'm becoming clumsy, unaware, disconnected from things. The curse is so strong that my control over this body has been halved."

"Well, it's expected. Of all the Families that we tried to chase, that Zulu family is the most difficult to catch. I can't believe that voodoo is science! This is your first time experiencing this power. Can you tread on it and copy it? You've shown me quite a few amazing things." The Kid chuckled.

"You're under the impression that I studied your Path? Kid, we are one but two different entities. I can't tread on your Path. I have a different one."

"You focused on that Path?"

"Yes. Relax. I may be so weak, but this is exactly the time when my powers show itself to be strong."

Suddenly, time began to move forcibly, although it was extremely slow.

"Looks like the halting of time is ending. Too bad it isn't as strong as the Realm Kings."

"This is because of Curse. Haven't you felt it? We are being attacked beyond the three dimensions."

"Of course I did. You sure you got this one? This looks very risky."

"It has to be. Believe me. You'll understand once I'm done. Help me playback all those memories. I need your help to make it as detailed as possible. Only if we work together can we do the precise memory power of Cliff. If we do that, you'll understand."

"Alright. But let's hurry. Time is moving." The Kid complied.

The visions appeared one by one. 

The first was the victory that started Seeker's future career. Seeker was the only one left in his squad. All his companions have been killed. Most of the soldiers next to him weren't even Unlocked, and only a few were in the Unbecoming stage like Seeker.

Even as they hid in the cover of the fallen wreckage of the ships and crafts that carried them, most of the soldiers lost hope. They would die in this attack.

Only Seeker took heart and persevered.

"Is there anyone left in the ground who can fight?" A familiar voice spoke directly to Seeker's thoughts.

"World Champion Realm King!" Seeker was astounded.

"Anyone? Your mission will be a suicide mission. But if we want to retake Pangea, we have to do this."

"I am battle-ready, Realm King!" Seeker answered.

"Hm? You are Seeker Carlean, right? The first Unbecoming? It seems you are the only one remaining with the courage to stand. I will help you and use my powers to stop whatever I can. Expect the attacks to be lessened by sixty percent. You have to race through and reach the front lines at that time. Can you do it? We have to breach that front to preserve our forces."

"I'm on it!" Seeker vowed.

"Good. On my mark."The Realm King ordered.

Seeker readied, and when the orders were made, Seeker rushed madly towards the front. The Realm Kings Power exploded out, and a terrifying earthquake occurred.

Seeker used his boosters to dash towards the front lines.

The numerous attack was directed at him, but Seeker was never hit.

The Realm King didn't rely on Seeker. He wanted a diversion to send his forces, but Seeker performed unbelievably well.

The incoming beams and bullets were like rain, but Seeker moved on and ran towards the rain. His boosters were reaching the limits of what an Unbecoming could pilot through, and soon it went through it.

Seeker took on the rain, and though his body had many holes from the beams and bullets, it was always an inch away from a critical location. Seeker could no longer see as a bullet struck the back part of his head as he drew closer. His occipital lobe was damaged, and Seeker had to rely on the realm. The Realm King helped him, and Seeker massacred the Australian soldiers who were holed in their bunkers and in the trenches built.

The second memory surfaced.

Seeker was already an Inhuman serving under Ranked Hero Lynd's forces.

Yet, the betrayal of Zeraphine left no survivors in the strongest and most powerful Inhumans in the Realm King's army.

A large aircraft ambushed and massacred them. Only Seeker's own squad managed to retreat and hold on. But soon, even Ranked Hero Meryl was injured and had to retreat. But the maddened Seeker did not flee. With a roar, he charged and faced the large craft that could injure a Ranked Hero.

Seeker faced the numerous guns and managed to enter the craft. Unlike all the other enemies that they had fought, this craft contained powerful Aragarian soldiers that none of the fallen Inhumans managed to kill. Yet Seeker faced them all alone.

He had passed over yet another impassable defense and reached the commanding Aragarian, Zeraphine.

The last memories of Seeker was another battle that occurred immediately after the last one.

The Ranked Heroes were all worn out. A certain earth-made Orbital was preparing to launch. In it were the body parts of some of Earth's Ranked Heroes. It had Irvana's, Meryl's, and even Lynd's torn-off limbs. Only Arthur was the one left who had the strength to face it. But even he believed that they would fail. His calculations deemed that this ship would be impassable with their current strength.

But then Seeker arrived wearing Arthur's boosters. Seeker flew as if, disregarding his own life, faced a torrent of attacks. The Orbitals attacks could not hit Seeker. With the aid of the World Champions, who managed to break the force field just in time, Seeker reached the inside of the ship. It was there that he killed and hacked up hundreds and possibly thousands in such a short time. It was this massacre that granted him the title Death Tide Carlean.

It was there that he gained the title, He who Treads and Passes Over.

The memories rushed, and as time was slowly returning, Seeker spoke to himself.

"Did you see that, Kid? Do you get it?"

"I saw it. Your Path is something that can only happen if you're weak. So you wanted to cultivate this?"

"I've long believed that the Overcomers were wrong. Or at most incomplete. You and I walk different Paths. Because of everything that happened in this life, you have become mighty because of strength. But in my time, I became strong because of my weakness. I believe that the real path to true power is something in between. And so, I walked the Path of the Weak. But see how I will Overcome through my weakness."

"My grace is sufficient for you. For my power is made perfect in weakness." The Kid couldn't help but smile as he recalled a certain verse in the Bible.

"Fine then, Old man! Show me your power! I grant you full control of this body." The Kid slowly fell into a deep sleep as the future Seeker Carlean took possession of the body.

Time was now resuming, and Seeker had only a few moments before the attacks would reach him.

Seeker focused a large bulk of his power on his arms which wielded the desolation sword. The curse had cut his movement speed in half. But no fear emerged on Seeker's eyes.

Seeker took a step forward, and suddenly, he was thirty meters ahead.

Lynd was stunned. All of Lynd's attacks missed Seeker.

"You want a contest to see who the real Messiah between us is? Then I shall pass over you. And you will know that I am He that Overcomes.." Seeker smiled as he took another step forward.
