Chapter 464 – Pluto Infiltration [11]: Varian’s Oath

A/N: if a chapter is repeated yesterday, clear the cache in settings. 🙂

*** *** *** 

Varian looked at the black disc and shifted his gaze to the glass box containing it.

'It should work.' He cheered himself up and retrieved a few items from his storage ring.

The first was thin slices of durasium walls of 1×1 in length and breadth. Stacking all the slices he had, their thickness was almost half a meter and weighed 5 fucking tonnes.

Thankfully, it wasn't a single wall or it'd have been seriously troublesome to move the durasium around.

After placing the durasium walls all across the floating glass box, Varian sighed lightly.

With his, the last bit of durasium he had was finished.

To be honest, this thing helped him a lot.

During the cluster cities' crisis, he used them to decimate the secret realms and destroy a large part of the shadow order forces.

Then, it was the same ragnarork bombs that helped him save Enigma and Blue Flash.

And they were the reason he could sneak into this facility.

'I wish I had more…' While he was disappointed, Varian knew time was running out.

The mission was already delayed and every second he wasted could turn out to be lethal for his teammates.

After ensuring that the durasium walls were completely covering the glass box once again, Varian sighed again and took out a few blue metal walls from his storage ring.

These blue walls were not made of Durasium. They were what Boo gave him from its precious collection.

'Master! These are very precious. Boo doesn't have many of them. Wooo.'

Recalling Boo's reluctance, Varian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He arranged the six walls in such a way that they are perfectly enclosing the durasium walls, which were enclosing the glass box.

There was only a small gap left at the blue wall above.

Varian took a deep breath and calmed himself. 'This is the most important step. If I fucked up here, I'll die.'

During their planning, this step only had a 10% risk of killing him. 

But now…

Varian lowered his head and glanced at his body riddled with injuries. If this wasn't a necessary step, he'd have probably fainted.

Varian took out the final item, a blue sphere—ragnarork. 

His hands slowly turned into a branch and he enclosed the bomb in red leaves.

As a Plantae awakener, he could produce leaves, flowers, and even fruits—but the cost was his prana, which he currently was lacking.

Still, it was barely enough to cover the whole thing and ensure the resilience of the leaves.

Varian slapped the leaves lightly and saw that they weren't damaged. 

'They can withstand a couple of level 5 hits, but for any level 6 attack, they're done.' He mused and used his telekinetic powers to carry ragnarork into the enclosed 'room' through the single opening left at the top.

With his mental sense, Varian could sense the interior of the 'room'.

He locked onto the glass box which was locked by the durasium sheets. Then, he carefully placed the ragnraork so that it was in contact with both the glass wall and the durasium sheets.

The moment they came into contact, Varian's heart almost stopped.

'Haaa!'

Varian sighed in relief. 

Thankfully, the leaves insulating ragnarork didn't trigger an explosion. 

Then, he snapped his fingers and slowly condensed the lighting arrow just above the ragnarork bomb. 

If he freed the arrow, it'd burn the leaves covering the ragnarork and the bomb would then be in direct contact with durasium, blasting everything.

But if he did that, Varian wouldn't have enough time to close the top wall. As a result, he'd have to face a part of the explosion and due to the amount of durasium used, the explosion would surely kill him.

So, instead of directly releasing the lightning arrow, Varian lightly solidified the space around the lightning arrow.

Since he deliberately made the space blockage weak, the lightning arrow began to loosen the space. 

Varian made use of the chance and left his control over the lightning arrow. 

Zaap!

The arrow trembled for a moment and broke the space block.

Right then, Varian's telekinetic power closed the wall on top.

And now, the entire thing was tightly enclosed in these grade 9 walls. 

"Gul—"

Kaaaaa!

Before Varian could even gulp down, the walls shook violently before calming down.

Kacha!

Varian could hear the sound of a muffled explosion, and with it, the sound of a glass breaking.

'Finally!' Varian's face brightened and he removed the walls.

"Shit!"

Even though he was expecting it, what he saw next still left Varian speechless.

The interior of these grade 9 walls was bright red as if they were dipped in lava. Varian didn't even dare to touch them and used his telekinetic power to store them away.

After this incident, they wouldn't be able to hold level 9 attacks anymore.

Then came the durasium sheets or the lack of them. The durasium sheets were completely gone! The ragnarork also left no traces.

The only thing that was left was the cracked glass box. 

'It worked!' This was the plan.

Even if he used so many durasium sheets, the explosion would've only been at the level of a level 8.

But!

Since he used the grade 9 walls to confine the explosion, the pressure on the box increased exponentially.

Every bit of explosion was focused back onto the box, causing a qualitative change from a level 8 attack to a level 9 attack.

It was finally his chance.

Varian clenched his fist and punched out, breaking the damaged glass and grabbing the 'Blocker'.

"YEscough…cough cough." Varian's excited roar was cut short by the coughing of blood, reminding him of his bad condition.

Varian didn't intend to stay here anymore and rushed down. 

The gravity on the first floor was still terrible, and he was on the verge of passing out, but perhaps it was the joy of victory, Varian was able to rush down to the exit.

The abyssal corpses were still fresh on the ground, reminding him that not even a few minutes passed since the battle.

'I have multiple paths and am fine, but what about the rest? How are they doing?' Varian shuddered at the thought.

He soon rushed out of the entrance, but when he did, he found abyssals surrounding the area, rushing towards him.

There were even level 7s among them. And unlike the previous batch, they weren't so injured.

This meant they could exert the combat power of a true level 7 instead of the peak level 6.

Varian stood alone in front of the facility facing hundreds of lighting bolts that pierced the sky and shot at him.

He was first anxious, but something in the air touched him.

And when he saw what it was, his anxiety disappeared.

Despite being so terribly injured, despite facing so many enemies, Varian's mind was calm.

Zaaap!

The lightning bolts reached him, but they landed in an empty spot as Varian simply teleported out.

After exiting the facility, he used the biggest advantage of a space awakener—teleportation.

And as he appeared at a distance from his original location, Varian stretched out his hand and let it fall on his palm.

It was the ash.

The ash of humans slaughtered and burnt.

Ash of Sarah's and many others' mothers. Ash, that was once a man, a woman, a child. Ash, which was the living testament of the tragedy.

And that ash…as Varian touched it, he felt a jolt down his spine.

His eyes reddened and he clenched the ash so tightly in his hand that his nails dug into his flesh and his blood washed the ash.

"Kill!"

"Dreamer's actual level is so weak!"

"Let's end this menace!"

The abyssals roared and with terrifying killing intent, shot every piece of lightning they could conjure.

Varian snapped his fingers and in the distance, fierce winds blew.

Lowering his end, Varian looked at the ash in his palms. It was the lives of a billion people.

They weren't avenged. They weren't even given due honor post their death.

If the federation couldn't do it, then…

Varian raised his head and raised his fist.

His voice, raised to the highest levels, reverberated for hundreds of miles.

"I swear by everything I love, soon I'll drench you in the blood of abyssals and give you a proper send-off.

The day is not far when the grey ash will be bathed in green blood.. Wait for me, my people…you can finally rest."
