Chapter 433 - Once In A Lifetime Meeting
Given the severity of the situation pertaining Enigma, their meeting was expected.
But what was not normal was the eight holographic figures sitting on the opposite crescent table.
The arch enemies of the Sovereigns. The rulers of abysses. The abyss kings and queens.
They had just logged into the virtual world and an angry voice sounded in the hall.
"Don\'t waste my time, mongrels." Julius squinted his eyes at the abyssal rulues. "I got better things to do than talking to you."
Julius\' archenemy, the Demon King of Earth Abyss, didn\'t show any anger. But inwardly, he wished to cut Julius to a million pieces.
But as always, the mission was more important.
So, he stomached the disgusting experience and looked at Julius with a smile. "We know what\'s happening in the federation. Regarding Enig—"
"Of course you do, unless you\'re fucking blind and fucking deaf." Ares cut in with a sneer. "Old fellow, when are you going to die? Because when you do, I\'ll send a million of your kind to accompany you to hell."
"Oh, really?" Thunder King of Neptune, looked at his archenemy with contempt.
"You worms used up all your luck in saving yourself last time. Or the cluster cities would\'ve gone down." Then he pointed to Irene Nial and grinned with a bloodthirsty smile. "This bitch would\'ve been killed and Uranus would\'ve been history. Next, it would be your head on my spear and your planet under my feet."
Demon King laughed. "Exactly. What would you have done? In addition to black pluto day, green neptune day and yellow uranus day? Hahaha!"
Irene Nial clenched her fists as she glared at the Despair Queen. Despair Queen stared back with eyes spouting fire.
"Pathetic humans. Just got lucky, or we would\'ve—" Thunder King was interrupted rudely by an arrogant and angry voice.
"Would\'ve. Would\'ve. Would\'ve. Can\'t see why you\'re so happy." Julius shook his head.
"Pfft."
"Hahaha."
"Delusional much."
"All your resources, all your time and all your efforts went down the gutter."
The Sovereigns laughed this time and abyssals turned silent
Indeed. Their plan, no matter how grand, ultimately reaped no benefits.
All thaks to a few people.
\'Dreamer.\' Despair Queen narrowed her eyes as thick killing intent flashed in her eyes.
Not only her, the remaining abyss rulers also had a strong desire to kill him. Based on the footage they recieved, Dreamer was heavily involved.
The Sovereigns didn\'t know the truth and were calm. Not them. They just wished to torture him alive.
But despite their rage, they had to \'follow\' the Emperor\'s order and end Enigma.
"Ahem." Sin King of Mercury coughed lightly, catching the attention of both humans and abyssals.
"We can taunt each other later. We\'re here for a mutually beneficial purpose."
"Oh?" Irene Nial raised her brow. The other Sovereigns also paid attention. After all, Sin King was the oldest guy in the room, just like his archenemy Albert.
"You want to hunt Enigma too?" Albert asked directly.
"Haha. Yes." Sin King admitted. "My reports say you found a method to track her and she escaped from earth. If she ventures to our areas, we want to end her. So, share the tracker."
"What makes you think we will?" Ares raised his voice.
Albert glanced at him and shook his head. "If Enigma could call her own race, then we\'ll have a third race in the solar system. Be it abyssals or humans, we both don\'t want a third party here."
Saying so, he glanced at Sin King. "Is that it?"
"Yeah. You\'re sly as always." Sin King smiled, but his eyes were filled with killing intent. Both of them were waiting for the other party to die out of old age.
Julius clicked his tongue and said. "If not for Dreamer, her corpse would be buried aleady."
Demon King laughed at his archenemy. "Nah. You\'d have taken her corpse to lab. You sick bastard."
His words caused everyone to turn towards him.
Julis continued nonchalantly. "Anyway, I agree with the proposal. She\'s a mutual threat. Kill her before she does anything catastrophic."
Albert nodded and said. "Now then, votes."
The Sovereigns voted favorably.
Except Irene.
She abstained from voting, which here, translated to opposing.
"Why?" Ares asked with a hardened expression.
Irene Nial fell silent for a moment before shaking her head. "Dreamer…he hasn\'t been against humanity since his frist action. He saved her now. Maybe there\'s a good reason behind it."
"Pffft. He\'s also likely an alien. Helping fellow species." Despair Queen chuckled.
Irene Nial clenched her fists, but didn\'t respond immediately. Taking her time, she answered. "I saw him. He\'s a human."
"Don\'t know. Don\'t care." Julius stood up from his seat. "Our defense ministry already gave the tracking software to every department.
Giving to abyssals won\'t clash with our options. So, yeah, get her corpse to me though.
Abyssals, wish you hell." Julius disappeared from the meeting hall.
Shortly after, his counterpart also left. Then swiftly, only Irene Nial was left.
Her views contradicted both her ally and her enemy.
"Dreamer…" She muttered with a complicated expression.

The exact moment the meeting was finished, Ghostship lightly collided with a huge earth sphere.
"W-What?" Blue Flash blinked her eyes and looked into the distance.
Suddenly, her eyes widened and her face paled. Enigma looked into the distance and took a short breath.
Varian too checked it out.
In the distance, an abyssal emerged. His aura was exploding like a volcano and it was one of the strongest Varian had ever seen.
The man waved his hand and conjured an earth spear laden with deadly spikes.
With no hesitation, he accurately marked the scrambling ghost ship and shot at it.
Varian yelled. "Boo, run! Esacpe!"
And escape it did as gigantic earthen spheres, spears and weapons continued to attack them from behind.
"Oh boy," Varian shook his head. "Looks like they\'re sharing the tracker. Now, we can go neither to human side nor abyss side."
The realization slowly set in and he blankly stared into space.
"Maybe we\'re fucked up."
