A spaceship appeared there at some point and had just pulled in the crystals!
"Ghostship?!" Despair Queen's heart stopped beating for a moment before it pounded in rage.
"Varian! You dare!" Despair Queen roared her lungs out and lashed her branches at the most brazen thief in history.
The Ghostship hurried to escape from the attack, but the attack was too fast. As Boo's face turned grey, a force covered the Spaceship and teleported it. Along with it, William also disappeared.
Ghostship appeared a few hundred miles away and activated its stealth, hiding from the active search of the Despair Queen.
"Come out!"
"Where are you? Coward!"
"If you don't, I'll kill your Sovereign!"
Despair Queen's mad roars shook the entire Despair Abyss.
"What? All those scratches!" Boo cried out as it realized there were countless scratches on the ghostship.
"She tried her best already, don't blame her." Varian rebuked the shameless ghost and used his telekinetic power to pat the shoulder of the woman next to him.
Enigma held her knees as she panted heavily. She had used her artifact to teleport them away from the Despair Queen.
Unlike the normal teleportations, she had to do it extremely fast. For Enigma, it's equivalent to sprinting a marathon.
"Haah! Haa!" Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Enigma stood up straight and stared at Varian with cold eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat gaze was enough to make any adult shiver in fear. But Varian looked at Enigma with a calm expression. "Not now. This is an emergency."
Enigma blinked twice before turning away from him. "Hurry up. Whatever happens better be in our favor."
Varian nodded and signaled to Boo.
A cubical box made of celestial-grade alloy appeared in front of him and enclosed the crystals. Only a single side was left open.
Varian conjured a lightning ball and put it inside the box. The lightning energy started to pour into the crystals.
The box closed up. When they thought it was over, it started shaking. From light movements in the beginning to violent shakings. It all culminated into one final vibration where a huge pop was heard before the box fell to the ground.
And in the process, a huge amount of aura broke out of the box. It was like an aura bomb that exploded. It started spreading in all directions by the time Varian and Enigma came back to their senses.
With such an obvious aura signal, Despair Queen would find them soon!
Varian and Enigma looked at the shock in each other's eyes before they forcibly controlled their emotions.
They had already known that the destruction of these crystals would result in dangerous explosions. But this…it seemed to have surpassed the Sovereign scale and reached the Celestial level.
"Is it good or bad that the old man failed and didn't let such an explosion occur?" Varian glanced at William in the healing room through the window with a complicated expression.
"Talk later," Enigma prepared her artifact "Despair Queen would be here any second. I'll have to shuttle us again."
"Please do," Varian desperately wanted to see what happened to the Undead.
If their actions could bring down his powers from the Sovereign state, then he couldn't ask for more.
If that Undead stayed in Sovereign state…
Varian's eyes flashed and he glanced at the Celestial alloy of the box with a determined smile.
'If he's still a Sovereign, then we'll have to risk and get him sealed here.'
But that was close to impossible. The Undead was stronger than most Sovereigns. He couldn't just be tricked into this box.
Varian wasn't optimistic about this desperate plan. It was just that. A desperate plan.
As Enigma was about to teleport them again, horrified screams filled the air.
"Nooooo!"
"It's impossible!"
"Why?!"
Hearing Despair Queen's despairing, Enigma paused and gave Varian a look who gave Boo a look.
Boo rolled its eyes and called up the holograms from the spy drones.
Varian and Enigma saw it clearly then.
The sky was shaking and the forest on the ground was trembling as Despair Queen attacked Irene like a rabid dog.
Being heavily injured already, Irene wasn't able to amount to a proper offensive. But thanks to her defense artifact, she did manage to keep herself safe.
Looking at Irene who wasn't harmed even after all her attacks, Despair Queen only grew madder and madder. Her plantae form grow a few more meters and her attacks turned more vigorous.
All of this was well and good, but—
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Where the hell is that Undead?" Varian squinted his eyes.
Enigma narrowed her eyes at the screen and pointed to an inconspicuous dot at the corner. "Zoom in there."
The screen now showed an Undead kneeling and clutching his chest as his aura went rampant and shook the ground.
With him as the center, the land for a hundred miles around him was cracked like a spiderweb.
A single person was able to affect a hundred miles. What a terrifying powe—
"Wait a minute, isn't that a bit too weak for a Sovereign?" Varian raised a brow.
"Yes, but I'm not sure if his strength was really reduced or he's just bluffing," Enigma voiced her concern.
Then something extraordinary happened.
The Undead got up and reached the corpses of the Plants, Trees, and Abyssals scattered all around. These were the collateral damage.
Without hesitation, he took a deep breath and a black energy flowed out of these corpses and entered his body.
The ground under him sank a little and the hundred miles cracks now reached the hundred and first mile.
Varian and Enigma understood what this meant at a glance.
"Oh fuck." Varian slapped his forehead and said. "Boo, go there quick."
"I can—" Enigma wanted to teleport them there, but Varian stopped her. "Preserve your strength. He looks like a strong level 9 to me."
"A high level 9 or at least a peak mid level 9." Enigma shook her head with a wry smile. "Not something I can deal with. It's best to inform the federation."
"By the time they come here, this guy will regain the Sovereign strength." Varian pointed out the crux of the issue.
"Then what do I do?"
"Fight and see." Varian sighed.
"Master, we're here."
