Chapter 449 - Reasons Behind Irenes Help

There was a saying in the federation:

The stronger you grow, the more malleable the law becomes.

Low Awakeners need to abide by all rules.

Mid Awakeners can get some concessions for minor errors.

High Awakeners would be pardoned even for major errors, as long as they could show enough merit.

But when you become a Sovereign.

You are the law.

There were no laws dictating what a Sovereign should or shouldn't do. No person or organization wanted to instruct a Sovereign.

This was defined by historians as the consequence of a strength-based hierarchical society where a single person's worth could disproportionally differ from the rest.

Compared to Old Earth where rulers could be impeached, either through lawful procedures or violent revolutions, Sovereigns were untouchable.

Not because they couldn't be killed, but because they were the pillars upholding humanity against abyssals.

Naturally, a Sovereign had everything at their fingertips.

So, it didn't surprise Varian when the ghost ship landed on a private secret realm outside Uranus.

Once they entered the sphere of this secret realm, the armies chasing them stopped.

Varian knew that they were ordered to go back. Because this area had its exclusive security force which promised to hunt Enigma. Which they didn't and instead escorted ghost ship into the secret realm.

A few soldiers got down from the space ships and guided them to a teleportation formation.

They didn't speak during the whole process and had a neutral expression. Even though they were helping a branded traitor, they didn't show a hint of hesitation on their face.

They were the hardcore loyalists of Sovereign Irene. They revered her above everything and treated her words as sacred.

So, Varian and the group had no problem teleporting to Neptune.

The only problem, they were teleported to a military base on Neptune's planetoid. So,...

Boom!

Boom!

Ghostship moved like a streak of lightning and escaped the offensive. Despite being a military, it was a relatively weak planetoid.

So, they were only chased by a couple of level 8s that they easily threw off.

"Phew." Blue Flash wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at Varian with an incredulous gaze.

One was her trust in Dreamer. In a sense, he saved her and a lot of lives. So, she respected him. And it made her reconsider the decision to hunt down Enigma.

But that alone wouldn't have been enough.

Even if she was very grateful, she wouldn't allow that gratitude to just let go of a threat like Enigma.

The primary reason she did what she did was control. She didn't say it out loud nor did she hint at it, but it was pretty obvious.

Whatever Dreamer wanted to do, Enigma's position would always be under the control of the tracker. There's just no helping it.

So, without conflicting with Dreamer, she gave him opportunities to prove that Enigma was innocent.

If he succeeded, then great. She wouldn't have to turn hostile towards Dreamer. And she'd have also saved Enigma, who could be an important powerhouse in the future.

If he failed and found that Enigma was actually the culprit, in her opinion, he'd turn against Enigma. Then, using the tracker, she could hunt down Enigma.

It was this underlying assurance that gave her the comfort of supporting Dreamer.

But what if Varian asked her to help kidnap Dr. Thomas right at the beginning?

"Sovereign Irene trusts me, but not completely, like anyone else," Varian said with a shrug. "To kidnap that mad scientist, we need her help. But without any concrete evidence, she won't help us."

"..." Blue Flash nodded slowly.

Due to the flood of events, she felt that her head wasn't working properly or she should've figured this out by herself.

Still, it was undeniable that Varian was thinking far ahead and was calculating his moves.

Sure, he didn't have the complete plan regarding Pluto, but he did have the basics covered.

So, she was curious. "How do you plan to kidnap Dr. Thomas?"

Varian smiled and tapped on his comm.

{Gamma Potions Expo:

Blue Flash's eyes widened and she grasped the basic idea of his plan.

As she was about to ask more, Varian shook his head and said. "Focus on Pluto for now. It shouldn't go wrong....Oh yeah, where is Bali?"
