Divine Path System
chapter-409

'I swear this is absolutely embarrassing.' Irene Nial said as she sat in her space shuttle and shook her head.

'...I sent you the recordings, but checking up with technocrat takes too long and you might think I deceived your grandson. But they would attack the cities anytime now, So, I have a shortcut to prove my point.'

'Huh?' Irene didn't understand.

'Open your comm.'

She did and attended the incoming call.

A hologram popped up and she saw a man holding a few blue spheres and a couple of...durasium sheets?

More importantly, "Andreas? What was your twelfth birthday gift from me?" She asked the man in military uniform.

"A...pink teddy bear I liked, but didn't ask my parents." Andreas blushed fiercely but replied anyway.

The other two men in the room, with name tags Colin and Gil stared at him weirdly. Andreas was famous for being fierce and violent. Who knew...

"Alright, you're the real deal. Can I confirm what Dreamer has said is true?"

"Yes. See for yourself, it only takes a few seconds." Andreas said

And then she saw it.

BooM!

Boom!

BooM!

'Where's the bombers' list?' She hung up the call and immediately asked Dreamer.

'You don't want me to prove they're bombers?'

'Fuck your proofs! The List!'

'Wish you said that from the start. I sent you already.'

Irene Nial opened her comm and saw seventeen names.

[PS: Colin will surrender by himself.]

'What about the other three cities?'

'They're going to be attacked by the chaos families and Shadow Order. If I'm not wrong, they should've coerced some people in the military region.'

Irene Nial exhaled. Before she knew it, her forehead was covered in sweat.

She leaned back in her chair and sighed deeply. '...The officers will be caught. I'll explain the situation and bring reinforcements to defend the cities.'

Saying so, she paused and asked despite herself. '...Any suggestions?' It was weird, but she felt like she had to value him for what he had done so far.

'Well, yes. Catch the officers. Bring the reinforcements quietly. Not for defense, but for offense.

They are about to attack the cities, they must be in secret realms near the city. I'll find the secret realms and...'

He explained his plan, causing her to widen her eyes.

Gulping, she asked again. '...Are you sure you can do that?'

'Trust me. Ask them to prepare the materials fast, we don't have much time.'

'I'll make sure there are no mistakes.'

'Also, try to go out and cough out blood a few more times. If you really want to, you can barge into abyss screaming stuff like You dared to kill my beloved grandson, his grandma will avenge him. Try to cry more and be overly melodramatic.'

'....'

Irene Nial gritted her teeth and ended the call. Coughing blood was fine but acting...whoever invented melodrama deserved a whipping!

Taking a deep breath, she contacted the Sovereigns.

Except for Julius and Ares, who were fighting the Abyss Kings, the rest attended. In the words of the two, 'Since we don't know when they'll attack, we'll take the initiative.'

High generals from Earth and Neptune attended in stead of their Sovereigns.

"This meeting will decide the fate of Uranus and Neptune, and also the Solar System." Irene looked at them with a solemn gaze and continued.

After ending the call with Sovereign Irene, Varian slumped in his throne and said.

"Boo, those bastards must be somewhere near those cities. Find them."

"Yes, master."

The ghost ship was already at the cluster cities. Now, it started to cover the space areas near the three cities. Honestly, it was much more manageable.

"You...who the hell are you?" Han Nial asked the man on the throne, breaking the silence.

"You can read my biography soon." Varian said, eliciting a chuckle from Seth.

"Somehow, I feel that we all will."

"I want a signed edition then!" Boo's voice also sounded.

"..." Han Nial looked at them in bewilderment. "Don't you feel any anxiety?"

"Of course, I do." Dreamer answered, placing his hand on his heart. "My heart might literally burst any moment. You know, the cluster cities could be attacked any second as we speak now."

"Then'”"

"We did the best we could." He replied with a smile of exhaustion. "I'll try my best to save. If I fail, I'll avenge them. It's all up to your grandma anyway."

Cling!

"Master, 1st secret realm found."

Ghost ship said and they all entered a secret realm filled with awakeners, reading for battle.

"Gulp." Han Nial swallowed in fear. He might not be afraid of death, but imagining the destruction this army could wreak on the cities, he was genuinely scared.

"T-They can't see us?" He pointed shakily.

"Yes, Captain Obvious."

The ghost ship took a tour of the city, passing high above the level 8s and level 9s.

Then after a few more minutes, Boo's voice sounded again.

"2nd secret realm found."

Comparing the army the four forces posessed, only one left.

*** *** ***

In sixteen cluster cities, level 9 aura exploded and in an instant, the military region was put under lockdown.

All communication was banned.

And the level 9 commanders of these cities were holding a level 8 officer by the throat and shoved them into a special prison.

Their storage rings were taken and they were literally stripped out of caution. Some officers did have additional storage treasures elsewhere, for example, in stomach, which thanks to military diligence were found.

"W-Wait! I did this because I was threatened! My family was under danger!"

"My wife was threatened!"

"My son was poisoned!"

....

"My granddaughter's life is at stake."

The commanders said nothing, but looked at them with cold eyes. There was no hatred or anger. Only disgust.

Eventually, all the captured lowered their heads and started weeping.

"Kill us, but don't extend it to our families."

"If you want to negotiate, unbind your storage rings." The commanders declared unanimously.

At the same time, they all cursed Trade Union for its motherfucking policies.

Once you mark a star treasure, others can't use it until you unbind it or you die.

Everyone except two erased their mark.

The two...they relied on their background and tried to intimidate the commanders.

"We also have level 9s at ho'”"

Of course, they were all killed instantly.

In the end, the commanders got their hands on the ragnaroks, as instructed.

Right then, the teleportation formations in the military region glowed and special squads from all over the solar system started appearing one by one.

Twenty members. Forty members. Eighty members....

As the core area of military region was strictly controlled, no one knew about their arrival.

At the same time, the three cities that were supposed to be attacked were busy.

"Cut it! Cut it properly! You idiots! Can't you even cut a metal properly? Go suck your mamma's milk." The commander spat at the high awakeners.

Of course, he wasn't just yelling, he was using his awakener powers and condensed an ice sword.

'”Kaa

'”Kaa

Using all his water mana, he was cutting down the metal, doing the job of 10 level 8s. Naturally, the durasium sheets at his feet were the largest.

But it didn't change the fact that they were slow.

This fucking city kernel building was made completely of durasium. It was fixed to the ground, so they had no shortcut. They worked like there's no tomorrow.

But despite nearly hundred people working, only half was cut.

"Commander, there is only three minutes until the deadline."

"Ah fuck! You tortoises can't do shit!" The Commander glared at them like he wanted to devour them, sending shivers down their spine.

"Reinforcements! We just got reinforcements!" A high awakener saw the glowing teleportation formations in the distance and yelled.

"Ah!" The commander slapped his thigh. "Ask those babies to join this. We have only two minutes left."

And with the help of reinforcements, the cutting ended.

The city kernel building was empty at this point. The star treasures and computers governing the city were left out in cold while durasium was placed into storage rings.

A few hundred miles away, Boo announced.

"Master, 3rd secret realm found. According to our data so far, this should be all their army."

Varian punched his palm. "Let's go to the cities and then...it's payback time."

In a short period of time, the ghostship entered the military regions of the twenty cities and received storage rings.

Then it directly headed to the three secret realms.
