Divine Path System

On the countless craters of Pluto, hundreds of abyssals flapped their lightning wings and dashed forward.

From high above, one could see a small white dot in the center while the surrounding miles were completely covered by golden lights that were rushing towards the white dot.

It was as if the world was joining hands against a single man.

But that man had no fear.

The abyssals could feel his level—it was wildly fluctuating, making it even more clear.

A mere level 6.

Yet, he stood with a bearing that reminded them of a ruler.

Subconsciously, they compared him with their emperor.

'Bullshit! They can't be similar!' The abyssals denied their own thoughts and stared at their prey.

The man in white clothes and a golden mask, Dreamer. A mere level 6!

"If I kill him, I'll be promoted and I can get out of this shithole." An abyssal exclaimed and raised his speed.

Whoosh!

Every other abyssal did the same.

Varian's eyes grew colder and colder and finally his cold words reverberated across the plains of Pluto.

"Next time I set my foot here, I'll bloodbath Pluto."

With a snap, he disappeared.

"Huh?"

"Where did he go?"

"The ghost ship?!"

"We can't track him anymore."

As they went from confusion to realization, the abyssals could only ground their teeth in frustration.

"What did he do in the core facility?" A level 7 abyssal asked, causing others to stare at the facility warily.

"Regiment Asn, Squad 27-D, go check." The abyssal ordered.

"Yes, Sir."

A group of six nodded reluctantly and entered the facility through the small opening.

Everyone stared at their backs and waited as seconds passed by.

There was no response. Not even a basic report.

"Huh? What's in there?" The level 7 abyssal yelled and as a result, the squad exited with pale faces.

"With his level 6 powers, Dreamer wouldn't be able to steal anything. So, w-why that fa..face?" The abyssal asked with a relaxed expression, but his trembling voice showed that he was also aware that something had gone wrong.

The 27-D squad leader simply pointed to the facility. "Please inspect it yourself."

"Haa!" Taking a deep breath, the acting commander of the group, level 7 entered the facility. A dozen more level 7s followed.

The corpses on the floor greeted them. Around thirty abyssals, some of them even familiar faces were killed brutally.

"Take care of them." The leader said to an abyssal who nodded and collected the corpses.

The group of abyssals didn't stop and reached the second floor in a hurry.

And then…

"W-Whaaat?!" The leader gaped at the impossible sight.

The abyssals with him also froze in shock. When they could finally think, they rubbed their eyes and

A glass box was missing!

How could it be possible? Was Dreamer secretly a level 9?

If so, why did he wait until they arrived? In fact, he could've used his powers to wreak havoc on Pluto and no one could've stopped.

That means he came here only for the item...or items?

The leader hurriedly checked the other items and only when they confirmed that no other item was missing did he sigh in relief.

"Sir, the stolen item is a Blocker!" An abyssal pointed out, causing the leader to stiffen.

The leader gasped as a terrifying possibility emerged in his mind.

"Don't tell me dreamer is…"

The sky above Pluto was like a mirror that continuously broke, fixed itself, and broke again.

The space fluctuated wildly and cracked open for hundreds of meters, forming a terrific sight.

A figure crashed into a mountain and the space around the mountain twisted wildly before exploding.

Kaaa!

The giant mountain, almost a hundred meters tall was sliced into countless tiny rocks under the wrath of space and was reduced to rubble.

Under the rubble was a bloodied figure.

Paa!

Blue Flash stood up with defiant eyes. There were large cuts on her arms and legs.

"There's no way out." Dorak looked down at her and raised his hand.

Blue Flash gritted her teeth and was about to continue her fight, but right then,?a bright light flashed in the sky showing a sequence of bizarre numbers.

"Who? Dreamer?" Dorak's space sense noticed the numbers and he growled.

"After you, he's next." He said and his body blurred.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Blue Flash, but right then, Blue Flash's body blurred with the twisting of space and she disappeared.

"You can't escape."

Dorak's space sense quickly caught a spatial fluctuation a hundred miles away and he teleported there the next moment.

But…

"DREAMER!" Following Dorak's roar, a terrifying explosion rose.

Blue Flash was gone.

"Hahahaha!" A burst of thunderous laughter reverberated across space. It was an area once rich with meteoroids.

But now, every meteoroid was either burnt to ashes by fire or lightning.

While there were no meteoroids, there were a few grey bodies covered in green blood floating in the space.

Far away from the bodies were the fighting groups of level 9 abyssals—headed by Rivak and coordinated into a combat formation. They were capable of taking down hundreds of level 9s by themselves.

But their opponent was one man with very serious injuries.

His body was completely charred and he looked more like burnt wood than human. The injuries caused his body to twitch from time to time.

While he still stood straight, he no longer looked sturdy. His eyes were still bright like the sun, but that of a setting sun.

"You are still laughing now? You are just crazy." Rival, peak level 9 abyssal wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and said.

"Hahahaha!" Bali simply cackled in response.

Rivak was noticeably irked. "Your death will be painful, I promise."

"Death isn't scary at all!" Bali clenched his fists and prepared for his last stand.

He didn't know why Dreamer was taking so long. Was it all perhaps a plan to bring him here and let him die?

Maybe he shouldn't have trusted the man with the golden mask.

But it's already too late to regret it. He had to face the consequences of his choice.

'I trusted him and the price is death.' Bali sighed inwardly and decided to kill Rivak before he died.

'But all my life, I tried to be a Sovereign. It sucks that I have to die before I reach it.'

He channeled the last bits of fire mana and space power in his body.

"Here goes for no—"

His comm vibrated subtly and Bali stiffened for a moment before changing his plans.

He put in every bit of his remaining space power and teleported a few hundred miles away.

"You can't escape!"

Rivak's team raised their lightning circles and were about to attack him when a spaceship appeared behind Bali and took him in.

By the time their attacks reached their aim, he was no more.

"Search! Search! He killed my men! He killed our men!" Lightning dragons twirled around Rivak as he growled.

Pluto was infiltrated, high awakeners were killed, and…if he wasn't wrong, Dreamer came here for another purpose.

If they let the peak level 9 escape, then…

Rivak shuddered at what awaited him.
