Divine Path System

"Ree!"

With that, the three Sequoias auras went from peak of level 8 to an unstable state.

The formation in the asteroids could conceal their appearance, but it couldn't conceal their aura.

"Once Irene learns of this, she'll rush over immediately." Despair Queen giggled.

At normal times, Irene wouldn't take a risk to enter this place.

Because despite sensing the aura coming from the asteroids, she wouldn't be able to check the asteroids thoroughly for presence of other formations.

It could be a trap.

It was.

The ring of asteroids was an elaborate space formation. It couldn't kill Irene, but it would trap her for some time.

Until now, Irene Nial didn't enter the asteroids because she was cautious.

But now she was under heavy pressure. Despair Queen knew that Irene valued human life.

So, if there was a way to minimize losses, she'd surely do it.

A complete war between Uranus and Despair Abyss would push the otherwise cautious Irene Nial to risk it and push her towards entering the asteroids.

But it won't be enough.

The unstable aura fluctuations indicating the Sequoias were about to reach level 9 would be the final straw.

Irene Nial would enter and she'd be trapped. During that period, Irene would have to fight a death match with her.

Of course, Despair Queen wasn't confident of killing Irene. But she was confident in seriously injuring her at the expense of equally grievous injuries.

And then…

"No one would suspect your disappearance, right?" Despair Queen asked through her alpha orb.

"I took care of it." A male voice answered.

"Fine. Be sure to kill her or your identity will also be exposed." Despair Queen said in a serious tone.

As eccentric as she was, even she felt weird to work together with a human sovereign.

But he was essential in the completion of this plan.

The space formation would break eventually and the severely injured Irene Nial would try to escape.

Right then, the human sovereign would strike her and kill her for good.

"Even though I'll be heavily injured and would need a lot of time to recover, this is well worth it." Despair Queen smacked her lips.

"But seriously, his majesty is really unfathomable. Coming up with such stratagems" She uttered with a fanatical glow in her eyes.

The death of Irene Nial wasn't the end of the stratagem, it was the beginning.

Right at the time of her death, cluster cities would explode, isolating Neptune from the federation.

Then they'd release the news of Irene's death. The morale of the planetoids, which would already be weakened from cluster cities' destruction would hit rock bottom.

Taking over the planetoids wouldn't be a big problem.

And then came the big step.

Right when Uranus would be shivering in fear and humanity desperately trying to protect itself, they'd release the video of the human sovereign killing Irene Nial.

Not just that, they'd also release the clips from Pluto War and how this 'traitor' helped them achieve their goals.

Then, for humans, the best case scenario would be the Sovereign's planet army abandoning him and hating him.

That human sovereign was indeed the major reason for one billion pluto deaths.? Many humans, from level 1 to all the way to level 9 who lost their loved ones would turn against him.

Perhaps even Sovereigns would also be angry. Not at deaths, but at betrayal.

If they could control their anger, then that Sovereign's planet would only face problem of a low morale and dysfunctional army.

It could be taken down easily by abyssals.

The worst case scenario would be when Sovereigns couldn't control their anger and it'd lead to a Civil War.

"Hahahaha!"

"Huh? Unstable aura fluctuations?" Sovereign Irene's brows furrowed.

She studied the readings sent by the cutting-edge stealth drones she deployed near the asteroid ring.

"They were peak level 8…now unstable aura, oh no!" Irene scrambled to her feet.

She just left Uranus and was on a trip to patrol the planetoids. But the plans have to be changed.

"Go!"

Her space shuttle dashed towards the Despair Abyss.

It'd take an hour at least.

Irene knew she was taking risk. It could be a trap.

But…she recalled the millions of soldiers on the planetoids. She didn't see fear in their eyes. There was only determination.

Determination to die for the goal.

Tens of millions.

As a Sovereign, Irene knew her life was strategically more important than them. So, she convinced herself to not risk.

But now…if level 9 Sequoias enter the battlefield, then they'd utterly defeat the armies.

She'd be held down by Despair Queen and every human on the planetoid would be slaughtered.

She put her comm on hold. Her comm was tracked by the army so that they could provide assistance whenever possible.

Only during important missions would she turn her comm be on hold.

Of course, she'd know if there's any military emergency from her space shuttle's AI which was directly connected to the planetoid monitoring agency.

"I hope I can make it in time." She touched the green necklace on her neck and muttered.

When she informed the Sovereigns about this asteroid ring, they warned her not to enter.

If they knew of her current actions, they'd try to stop her.

"Even if there is some risk, I can escape."

Biting her lip, she nodded to herself.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

Varian listened to the busy call and smashed his table. "Fuck! Why is she not answering?"

"Have you tried other comms?"

"I tried all of them." Varian replied in exhaustion. He was current wearing a golden mask and a white dress—Dreamer's attire.

He wanted to inform Irene of the dangers and have her catch these seventeen military officers.

But…

"Argh! Even her family members can't reach her." Varian clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

Even though Nial family had a lot of control and there were level 9 people in Nial family, they didn't have the power and authority over the cluster cities like Sovereign Irene did.

They wouldn't be able to carry out the operation without altering the Shadow Order.

If the Order knows they're exposed, they'd immediately conduct the bombing.

"Fuck. Where did she even go?" Varian slumped into his seat and clutched his hair.

Half a billion lives were at stake. He had to do something.

"Waiting is suicide. Boo, check! Who is closest to Sovereign Irene?" Varian asked with burning eyes.

Boo gulped and after a minuted, answered.

"Han Nial."

Varian's eyes narrowed. That was a familiar name.

"Where?"

"RL-34 planetoid. His deployment is covered up. Chances are, no, certainly, he must be under heavy protection."

Varian took a deep breath. "I hope this works out. No. I NEED to make it work."
