Chapter 250: Infini City
'Fuel your progress?' Sarah didn't understand, but she decided not to pry. Besides, what really fascinated her was his ability to imprison them.
The Ghostship as he called it, was incredibly powerful tool. So much that others even thought of his Dreamer persona as a Technocrat Sovereign.
"Ghostship…" Only then did the fact that he was 'Dreamer' fully strike Sarah.
He told her already, but she treated him like a normal level 5. She couldn't be more wrong.
This was the guy who was single handedly responsible for destroying the hideouts of Abyssals and now...the nest of Shadow Order.
"I totally forget…" Sarah rubbed her forehead and turned to the side to look at him.
Varian's evil smile faded and he gave her the cheerful smile while snapping his fingers.
The rooms disappeared as if they never existed in the first place.
"Don't worry. Even level 9s can't escape. I plan to treat them 'kindly'." He said, his mind spinning plans to use them properly.
Since combat suited his progress the best, he'd have to fight them. But before he did, he needed to ensure his own safety.
Sarah nodded and asked. "Shadow Order and Enigma…if it's something you can disclose, what happened?"
It's not just her, every power was curious.
Just a few hours ago, Dreamer's post took the entire Solar System by storm.
Coincidentally, the Abyssals suddenly increased their offensive on Earth's affiliated territories—all its planetoids.
But soon, the Abyssal's offensive ceased and they retreated.
All she could guess from the sudden actions of planetary guards and the secret reports of destroyed secret realms was that Dreamer informed Enigma of the Order's? secret realms.
Abyssals wanted to help out the Order but failed.
However, why did he contact Enigma in the first place?
Varian's eyes lost focus for a moment before he gave her a smile mixed with joy and grief.
"Let's just say, I am a step closer to why I started." Looking at her, he added. "I'm not acting against human race."
"Father hates Enigma." Sarah bit her lip and said. "He hates everything that is not human."
'How much does he know?
Varian's body stiffened for a moment, but he waved his hand. nonchalantly "You don't tell him. I don't tell him. He won't know that I'm the guy who struck the deal with her."
"Yeah." Sarah nodded and suddenly raised her head. "Can you do the same to level 9s? Imprisoning them? If you could, then Abyssals…"
The more she spoke, the more enthusiastic her voice turned.
"Whoa! Calm down!" Varian raised his hands and said. "Boo was heavily damaged. Apparently, it was able to regain this capability only recently.
According to it, Level 8s and Level 9s have a quick response and will dodge." He said, repeating Boo's words sounding in his mind.
"Even if they are somehow taken in, if the rooms don't capture them quick enough, they'll wreck havoc inside the ship's important parts and destroy it.
In short, it's too risky. The highest it can go for is level 7s." Varian said with a tinge of regret.
If it was really possible to take in level 8s and level 9s, his training speed would skyrocket.
'Master, you're being too greedy. You not only have some secret that increases your progress like crazy, but you even got personal training packages now.' Boo complained.
Varian coughed lightly and pretended to not have heard it.
To seek more is human nature.
On the other hand, Sarah was lamenting. "…if level 8s and level 9s of Abyssals could be imprisoned, the war would end in no time."
'No, it wouldn't. There are Abyss Kings and Queens. But above them all, there's an Emperor in Celestial Rank you all have no clue of.' Varian thought, but didn't say it out loud.
>> Approaching Infini City
The AI announced.
Varian looked outside the amethyst glass windows and gasped in wonder.
In the dark space, a dazzling city shone in golden light.
Spanning hundreds of miles, it looked like heavens in the myths. It was in the shape of infinity and hence the name, 'Infini'.
Varian thought Space Cities were nothing more than more floating buildings but boy was he wrong.
He noticed the armaments and fortifications covering the city.
This was a fricking war city! In case of an all out war, it would be a mobile fortress!
"Gulp!" Varian swallowed his saliva as his mind imagined a full scale war.
Humans now were more prepared than ever. And with every passing, the power differential between humans and abyssals was diminishing.
Even now, it was unsure whether Abyssals could win an all out war against humans.
Most likely, they could.
But the price would be near annihilation of the eight Abysses.
Of course, if it was humans who waged an all out war, Abyssals could easily win.
"Infini City is one of the first space cities." Sarah explained. "It was built a few decades after dungeons appeared.
When Abyssals appeared 120 years ago, Infini City played a major role. It destroyed thousands of Abyss space shuttles and bought us time.
Of course, it was nearly destroyed in the end. After the war, it was reconstructed.
Today, Infini City can block off Level 8s."
"Hiss!" Varian sucked in a cold breath.
Despite their internal differences, humans were indeed progressing rapidly.
Two patrol ships scanned their space shuttle before letting them in.
Varian stepped on the metallic ground of the city and breathed in the fresh air. Humans have long mastered the technology of creating atmosphere and adjusting gravity.
"Welcome, young master."
"Welcome, young miss."
Richard and Anna bowed lightly greeting them.
They nodded lightly and followed the older people to the venue.
Varian stepped on a shining blue road, beside the three. The next moment, the strip of the road accelerated to great speeds while a protective cover was formed around him.
Even while they travelled at highspeeds through the city, Varian found the grandeur hard to ignore.
On one hand, there was Wide blue roads, Shining crystalline buildings, and incredibly gorgeous sky bridges.
On the other hand, there were holograms informing the latest developments on the frontlines, latest high-tech weapons installed on the city borders, auras belonging to high awakeners everywhere.
A militaristic atmosphere seamlessly blended with a futuristic vision.
Soon, they stepped in front of an elevator. Looking up, the floating building was in the shape of Infinity and glowed with golden light.
A few more groups of people also standing at a distance. They looked at Sarah and distanced themselves whilst the others looked at her and sneered.
Richard, who was silently till now said. "Young Master, Master will arrive shortly. The location for the younger and older generation are in two different halves. There will be a common meeting after sometime.
You can ask young miss if you have any questions. Please remember that you are representing Master."
Varian nodded and with their instruction, he took out his invitation.
A light flashed and in the next moment, he was standing in a banquet hall filled with young men and women around his age.
As soon as he appeared, hundreds of auras locked onto him.
All of them were in level 6.
At that moment, Varian recalled.
Solar Banquet was not just a gathering of the powerhouses.
It was also the gathering of the best geniuses.
