Divine Path System
chapter-507

It was the most bizarre space flight Kye ever took. During the whole flight, Maya and the woman started to converse on topics he couldn't understand.

The woman who he initially thought of as an evil goon actually started crying in Maya's arms.

"…all gone."

Maya too wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes and sniffed. "We have to live on for them."

Even though Kyle refused to make sense of those words, his brain did. It told him exactly what Maya's actions meant.

But he refused that possibility. It was too much for him. Perhaps there were other possibilities.

Maybe this woman was Maya's relative. Even though the excuse sounded far-fetched, it was better than the other option.

As he waited in silence, their spaceship finally stopped. It was a rather desolate asteroid—likely a hollowed-out one from extensive mining in the fourth century.

But Kyle's attention was hooked by the spaceship that was already present on the asteroid.

The two spaceships moved next to each other and opened a passage.

"Let's go." The woman said and took the lead.

Kyle took a deep breath and walked through the passageway.

"Hiss!"

The first thing that entered his sight was a sleek black room. The walls, the chair, the table, everything was pure black.

Kyle felt a jolt of fear for a moment but controlled himself. 'I already came this far. Plus, Maya said…'

"Deputy head, he's here." The woman said and bowed lightly.

Only then did Kyle focus on the person. No, he couldn't see the person. He could only see the back of the chair.

However, Kyle felt tremendous pressure coming from that chair. The longer he stared at the chair, the more labored his breathing turned and in the end, he gasped for air and finally turned away.

"Haa! Haa! Haa!"

As Kyle drew in short, sharp breaths, he heard a voice. But since he was not in the right state, he didn't hear it properly.

"I will contact you if the need arises. Thank you for your help."

"It's my duty." The woman who brought them here responded and even in Kyle's weak sense, he clearly felt her leave.

Now in this meeting room of this spaceship, there were only the three of them.

Kyle held Maya's hand and nodded at her. 'Don't worry. They'll have to cross me before they can touch you.'

He wanted to convey courage, but Maya simply giggled and said. "Are you still going to scare him?"

"Hahaha!" With a burst of laughter, the chair turned around revealing a beautiful woman with sky blue eyes and soft blue hair.

Kyle's eyes widened as he exclaimed "MOM!"

Alison covered her mouth and chuckled. With a wink, she asked. "How was your date?"

"…." Kyle was speechless at her response. He even ignored that she somehow knew about their secret date and asked.

"You're the deputy leader? How? Why? Aren't you a news reporter?" Kyle asked with an expression full of disbelief.

Maya clearly saw the existential crisis on his face and patted her forehead.

"Welp, I'm indeed a news reporter in my CV." Alison shrugged and propped her chin on her hand as she said. "But most of the time, I'm Blue Flash."

With a blue flash, she was covered in black clothes from head to toe.

"This…" Kyle opened and closed his mouth.

He thought this could very well be a prank. But the aura he was feeling from his mother reminded him of the spillover aura from the level 9s in the stadium.

"I can't believe this." Kyle shook his head violently. "Am I in an illusion right now? Have the telepaths caught us?"

"Kyle!"

"I won't believe your words. Nev—"

"KYLE!"

The familiar yell shut him up. Even though Alison wasn't at home for most of the time, Kyle had childhood memories…traumas of this yell—it meant he was about to be disciplined.

"How many times did I tell you? You must be mentally resilient." Alison slammed the desk and said with a disappointed tone.

Maya tried hard to control her facial expression. 'Even iron men will be shocked at this news and you expect him to stay composed?'

"Mom, I…" Kyle tried to speak but found himself short of words. "Why did you become Blue Flash?"

"Grow more influential and I'll tell you." Alison gave him a smile.

"Influential?" Kyle frowned. He was already the number one student in his academy. He asked with genuine confusion. "How influential?"

Alison's eyes flashed as she recalled Varian's multiple talks with Sovereign Irene. Despite trying her best not to, she ended up comparing them.

'He's a monster while my son is my son. No one should be ever told to replicate what Varian did. I won't ask Kyle either, but…'

Alison told herself that she wasn't an unreasonable mom, so she reduced the difficulty.

"If you can have a private phone call with any Sovereign for one minute. Then I will consider you influential."

Kyle opened his mouth in shock. "Are you crazy—"

"Oh, and it should be the Sovereign who should've called you. You should end the call after one minute citing you were busy." Alison added with a serious expression.

When they were planning once, Irene Nial did call Varian and the exact thing happened.

"…"

"…"

As Alison returned from her daydreaming, she found that both Kyle and Maya were staring at her with pity.

"What?"

"Mom, I'll take you for a check-up." Kyle said with a regretful expression. "I'm really sorry, because of me, you have gone craz—"

"NO!" Alison jumped onto her feet at his remark. "I just asked you to get a private call wi—"

Realizing how outrageous her demand was, Alison paused abruptly and sat back down.

"I…I was just kidding." She said, perfectly maintaining a poker face.

"…Yeah." Kyle could only accept.

'It's all your fault, Varian.' Alison threw Varian under the bus.

After all, if he wasn't so excellent, she wouldn't set unrealistic standards for her son.

"And when did Maya join Shadow Guardians?" Kyle suddenly asked, catching the two women off guard.

Maya looked at him with a complicated gaze. "After my mother died in Pluto, I wanted revenge. And I found them."

"I see…" Kyle patted her lightly on the shoulder.

"Ahem."

With a light cough, Kyle removed his hand from Maya's shoulder and looked at Alison with a tense expression.

"You aren't inventing world-class weapons but are flirting. Hmph!" Alison commented, once again comparing him with Varian.

Now, even Maya rolled her eyes at Alison's words. "If he can do that now, by his old age, he'll be creating weapons to kill Sovereigns."

"Hahaha!"

Listening to her laughter, the couple looked at each other.

Kyle still had a lot of questions to ask and most importantly, he wanted to digest what he just learned.

As he was about to announce his departure, Alison said.

"Your next question is why I revealed all of this now? Why I brought you all the way here, far away from space patrol?"

Kyle shook his head weakly. If he asked why she'd once again give out an absurd condition.

"I don't want to know anything, just let me res" As he was about to leave, Alison dropped the bomb.

"Dreamer asked me to save you and oh, Varian is Dreamer by the way."

"Wait, wait, what?!" Kyle was almost having a heart stroke.
