Divine Path System

The Ghostship teleported to a Mars planetoid, Argos. Then it rushed to planetoid Elone at full speed.

Varian’s spirit had recovered considerably after spending a few minutes with Sarah.

He didn’t like to be vulnerable, but sometimes, things got too hard. But at least, he had someone he could share his grievences with.

‘Sia will be fine.’ Varian told himself. ‘She has to be.’

As the Ghostship was going toward Elone, Boo appeared in front of him and said. “Master, Enigma’s comm is hidden. Boo suspects she’s currently in an isolated environment.”

“Isolated?” Varian’s face paled and Batran’s face flashed in his mind. The aura in his body got chaotic and he shook his head violently. “NO! She isn’t captured!”

“…Master, please calm down,” Boo said in a helpless tone. “She could’ve isolated herself too.”

“Why?” Varian asked with a rough breath. His mind was muddled and he had a hard time thinking clearly.

Boo was about to explain when Varian raised his head and shook his head.

“No…I have to deal with this sooner or later.” Varian said and slumped into a chair.

He didn’t know why Enigma could’ve isolated herself, but he did know he wasn’t in the right mind to think it through.

So, the first thing he did was to take a few breaths and calm his heart that was thumping in fear, imagining the worst-case scenario.

After he calmed down, Varian got to thinking and he quickly understood. “Enigma is seriously injured. So, she wants to be in a hidden location or facility so that the technocrats can’t find her through her comm, right?”

Boo opened its mouth in shock before nodding in admiration. Thinking this wasn’t a big deal for Varian, but doing it in his emotional state was certainly so.

“Abyssals also have the capability of tracking down comms. So, Boo believes Enigma hid in an isolated facility to prevent herself from being caught.”

Varian leaned back into the chair and exhaled deeply. “That’s….a relief.”

If it’s true, it certainly was good news.

But it’s also possible that she could’ve been captured and hence her comm was isolated.

“Boo, can you track her comm?” Varian asked with a serious expression.

“But it’ll take time.”

“Do it as fast as you can.”

Boo nodded and put its 150% into work.

Even though Boo didn’t say it out loud, it was really worried about Enigma’s safety. ‘Almost mute woman who always likes wearing black, don’t die.’

A few hundred miles away from planetoid Elone, a spaceship was disguised as an asteroid.

The AI of the spaceship was treating her injuries, but Enigma’s recovery was very slow.

When the precious potions tried to heal her, the strong killing intent enveloping her rendered them less effective.

“N-No…I don’t want to go…” Beads of sweat rolled down Enigma’s forehead as her body writhed in pain.

She never had to risk her life. There was a choice she could’ve taken when her life was in danger. She always had that choice.

But if she went that route, then Enigma wasn’t sure if she could ever ‘wake’ up again.

She’d be trapped in endless darkness. It’s like sleeping and never waking up. It might as well be death.

At this moment, six spaceships approached the fake asteroid.

The spaceships of Abyssals!

“Sir, she’s here!” A thin human in a white coat pointed at the asteroid a few hundred miles away.

“Are you sure?” The Abyssal on a throne, adorned in scarlet armor, crossed his right leg over left and asked in a calm voice.

“Yes, yes!” The traitor scientist nodded vehemently. It was all thanks to adding a special treasure this Abyssal gave him. Using Enigma’s blood, it acted like a compass.

“Great!” Vlad Striker stood up with a beaming smile.

The other four Blood Heirs had their own tasks. He’s the one who took up hunting down Enigma.

If Enigma hid in a human military base, he’d have had a hard time approaching her.

But good for him, Enigma had deep trust issues with humans.

So she got caught and there’s no way she could escape!

“Hahahaha!” Vlad Striker clenched his fists as he prepared to beat her to death. “Go faster! I can’t wait to break all her bones!”

His spaceship reached Enigma’s and without waiting for it to close the distance, Vlad Strike rushed out and dashed towards the fake asteroid.

In her spaceship, Enigma’s eyelashes fluttered before they abruptly stopped. Pitch-black darkness enveloped her and a terrifying aura filled the spaceship.

Due to the sheer pressure, this spaceship, which could even handle a few level 8 attacks, began to break down.

Enigma’s body stood up. Like a cloak, darkness filled her and her body changed.

Her violet hair changed into pitch black, her body turned more curvy and mature, and her face…it was covered by a veil of darkness, hiding everything but her pitch black eyes.

Raising her head, the woman turned toward the incoming Abyssal before shifting her attention to the ghost ship.

Even if this spaceship could withstand a few level 8 attacks, Varian would still be a few seconds late.

Enigma would die. So would she.

‘With this intervention, my origin will go back to being unstable.’ The woman raised her hand nonetheless.

She wouldn’t be able to wake up until her origin got stabilized, but the situation left her with no choice.

‘To stabilize my origin, the three paths have to get back to at least Celestial Rank.’ A deep sigh left her black lips.

This was a trump card she didn’t want to use.

Because she had only one chance. Once she used up the chance, even if their lives, which also included her life, were threatened, she couldn’t intervene.

‘I was saving up the chance for the Abyss Emperor, but fickle fate, you are on your own.’ The woman could only pin her hopes on Varian.

Even if they couldn’t win, she wanted Enigma to safety.

‘He will do that, he loves Sia, doesn’t he?’ The woman’s eyes flashed.

The darkness in her body surged and She locked onto the incoming Abyssal.

‘You are the reason I’m going to risk my life!’ The woman’s black eyes turned cold and a killing intent never seen before in Solar System appeared.

“Die.”

An invisible shockwave of aura spread throughout the solar system.

The Sovereigns, the Abyss Kings, and Queens stopped in their tracks and looked in a particular direction.

“W-What the…” Julius panted heavily as he felt a terrifying force pass by him.

It was just a remnant, a trace of the whole, yet it carried such a terror that his body instinctively wanted to flee.

“Celestial Rank?” Demon King frowned as he controlled his shaking legs. “N-No, not Celestial but it feels like one.”

No Sovereign nor Abyss Ruler had any answer to this question. They even stopped fighting for a few minutes as they looked at each other dumbly.

But near planetoid Elone, the Abyssal’s spaceship and the Abyssal Vlad himself disappeared as if they were never there in the first place.

Thirty seconds later, the Ghostship reached the place and Varian found Enigma collapsed on the floor.

Seeing that she was safe, Varian cried out in joy! “She’s safe! Thank, Thank the heavens!”
