In one of the military bases on Pluto, a small conversation between the strongest Abyssals on the planet began.
"Did you connect with them?" Jezur asked as he entered the command room.
The command room was filled with holograms and in the midst of them was an Abyssal who kept looking for something.
Hearing Jezur's words, he was distracted for a moment and lost his focus. Clicking his tongue, he waved his hand and the holograms disappeared.
"No!" Lurth spat as he glared at Jezur. "Everyone else is fine, but those three secret realms aren't responding."
"Did you try—"
"I did! I used the emergency communication mechanism. It's not working." Lurth said, his face filled with frustration, annoyance, and lastly, fear.
Even though he spoke harshly, Jezur could clearly feel the fear in the Abyssal's voice.
And he knew exactly what his colleague was fearing.
"Yes, Varian is an unexpected variable. But that's it." Jezur said with confidence.
Lurth clenched his fists. Even though no one could prove it, they unanimously decided it was Varian who destroyed the secret realms.
"To be honest, I think the 'gift' we have in Pluto is big enough to conquer the whole solar system. But this isn't everything we have in store. Just believe in our Majesty. He has all this figured out."
Lurth took a deep breath at the mention of the Emperor. "A secret realm near Pluto is destroyed. He will be here at any time."
"So what?" Jezur smiled and his level 9 aura filled the room. But unlike a normal level 9, his aura was incredibly unstable and fluctuated violently, like a candle flame facing winds.
Regardless of his aura, Jezur managed to calm Lurth down.
"Yes." Lurth nodded strongly. "All the human level 9s are tied up. Without them, we don't have to fear—"
BOOOM!
An explosion similar to a thunderclap sounded. The next second, the command room shook so violently that the tables, chairs, and accessories broke apart.

"That's a good shot." Varian clicked his tongue as he watched a giant crater from the ghost ship.
The crater was dozens of miles in length and breadth. It was almost as if a small town was excavated from the ground.
Cracks on the ground began to spread for hundreds of miles.
All across the crater were patches of golden pastes—the remains of golden wyverns.
At the very center of the crater was a boiling golden liquid. Around it was the most number of golden pastes.
"Haa~" Seth breathed out as he felt the significant loss of his gravity power and chi.
Destruction of this scale was hard even for a low level 9 like him.
Seth's keen senses picked up the auras of the Abyssals that were rushing towards the nest.
Pluto had only a limited amount of Abyssals since it was wartime. But even then, according to his estimate, there was more than three hundred level 7 Abyssals, ten level 8 and—
"Human, where is Varian?" A heavy aura rose into the horizon and shot toward Seth.
"I'll pick your bones apart! You'll beg for death, but you won't get it!" Another aura quickly followed.
Seth narrowed his eyes and stretched his hand towards the nearby nest.
His body jerked as he was violently pulled towards the nest.
"Stop!"
"Attack him, but be careful of the nests!"
Seth appeared a hundred miles away, standing over a structure that spread across dozens of miles.
At the center of this structure was a boiling golden pond.
Surrounding this pond were a hundred transparent golden cocoons. The golden liquid was sent to each cocoon through a pipe.
Inside each cocoon was a lightning wyvern in a fetal position. Their auras were mostly at the very peak of level 7. A few of them were at low level 8 and only a handful was at mid level 8.
With each passing second, the golden liquid was slowly emptied, the aura of the wyverns kept rising and their life force kept plummeting.
A wyvern that advanced had only five days of lifespan left. But there were five such nests on Pluto, each with a hundred wyverns.
He already destroyed one. Yet, there were four hundred wyverns that were going to reach level 8!
If they attack Neptune, then forget the lifespan of five days, they could overrun every planetoid in a single day! Heck, they would be knocking on Neptune in three days!
"Fortunately, I'm here." Seth spat as he pressed his hand down.
The gravity on the ground spiked and the ground caved in. Cracks began to appear on every inch of land visible to the naked eye.
The cocoons began to distort as they were pressed down. Some of the weaker cocoons burst apart and the wyvern in the cocoon was blasted into golden flesh and blood.
While he kept channeling the power through his ring hand, Seth punched with his left hand.
As if a wind cannon was fired, concentrated fierce winds shot toward the cocoons and bombarded them into pieces.
In just three seconds, Seth destroyed more than eighty cocoons. As he was about to punch again, the sky darkened and a lightning bolt shot toward him.
Seth flipped in the air and dodged the attack. But another lightning bolt followed from an opposite direction.
Snorting in disdain, the dual awakener reversed the gravity and flew high into the sky.
A golden light flashed and two Abyssals surrounded him. The same level 9 Abyssals that he previously saw.
Seth previously didn't understand why they took so long to catch up with him.
But now…
"Hehehe."
"Hahaha!"
Jezur and Lurth's faces twisted as they morphed into a lightning wyvern.
They were beast awakeners and their morphing entity was a lightning wyvern.
That was a surprise, but not much. However…
"You drank that golden liquid?" Seth asked as he felt their fluctuating aura.
The lightning wyverns flying in front of him didn't answer. Their eyes were completely red and they seemed like pure beasts rather than a beast morpher.
Seth hissed as he realized the price these Abyssals paid besides their lifespan. They lost their sanity.
But it didn't matter to him.
"I'll leave the rest to you, Pupil," Seth muttered and channeled his aura.
His muscles made popping sounds as they bulged, blasting the wind. The gravity around him twisted according to his whims.
"ROAR!"
"ROAR!"
The lightning wyverns followed their instincts as they bombarded him in lightning bolts.
A critical battle began.
