Abrax snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hologram played showing the reports of a young boy from a big certificate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin recognized the boy. The son of a major architect—he was kidnapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy was returned the next day and except for a few people, most didn't even know this happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he died strangely the next week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The investigation was still going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abrax simply snapped and the hologram changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed the boy undergoing writhing agony before dark and white circles appeared all over his body before he metaled into a puddle of blood and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abrax smirked. \"This brat's father didn't believe in our words. So, we had to prove our authenticity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could've shown the poison on your daughter, but that'd be cruel for her, don't you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin stiffened up and nodded like a puppet. \"Y-Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abrax nodded and snapped his fingers again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The holograms displayed the videos of some boys and girls that were kidnapped in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They returned after the 'payment', but they all died shortly after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin saw each and everyone of them die in the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart stirred and he closed his eyes. \"Stop! I get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abrax's lips curled up and he said. \"I can keep your daughter safe and even dispel the poison. In turn, I need you to do something for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin's face was conflicted as he found himself torn apart between duty and love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't like indecisive people.\" Abrax shook his head and was about to snap again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Wait! I'll do it! I'll do it!\" Colin closed his eyes and yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abrax's smile brightened. '17 out of 20. I guess it's fine.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, the plan is…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each word, Colin's eyes grew wider and wider until his knees wobbled and he collapsed on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...this was too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin raised his head and his eyes met the sharp gaze of Abrax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're unwilling? Don't worry, I'm not forcing you.\" The Abyss prince said with an elegant smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It quickly turned into a cold sneer. \"Just your daughter…she will go through unbearable pain before she dies. May I add that the best option you have if you obey me is to kill her yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! NO!\" Colin clutched his ears and trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abrax softened his voice. \"I can guarantee your family safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin raised his head and looked at Abrax with bloodshot eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know it clearly, don't you? The planetoids are bound to fall. Reinforcements aren't coming. Our Sequoias will destroy every human on the battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colin clenched his fists. Every word Abrax spoke was the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the highest military officers of Valos, he knew the ground reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The planetoids would fall. Then all that was left would be the cluster cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uranus was also in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You aren't betraying, you just want a better future for your daughter.\" Abrax said slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She…she has the protection of level 7s.\" Colin said weakly. Even he wasn't convinced by his own words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abrax discovered his lack of confidence and attacked it. \"They? Those bunch of trashes can't even save your daughter from being kidnapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don't know who kidnapped her, do you? A bunch of level 7s. They can't protect her. You will be required to fight, you won't be able to protect her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…you're right.\" Colin hung his head and his conflict finally died down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Yeah. I don't want to risk her life. Once the planetoids fall, her safety isn't guaranteed. Even if it is…they can kill her through poison. This is the best opportunity.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prince Abrax, I'll do what you say.\" Colin swore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers in the military zone didn't know their commander betrayed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were still adjusting to the new reality of imminent war. A few days ago, reinforcements arrived from various planets. But most of them returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the planetoids had no choice but to ask the Uranus and cluster cities for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Valos city had only 40% of its warriors in the military zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In two days, 10% more would join the planetoids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being only 30% of the original count, the soldiers weren't worried. Cluster cities were known for their defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the planetoids were taken down, cluster cities weren't in any danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the consensus among every expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Planetoid RX-23\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold! Hold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under scorching heat, five body awakeners covered a heavy black metal slab with chi and dropped it between similar metal slabs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled violently. Then without any external intervention, the metal slab sunk a few meters in due to its sheer weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job, guys.\" The voice in their minds congratulated them, causing the five soldiers to heave a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked around and saw many teams similar to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hours of toil, the teams finally placed the black slabs side by side to form a huge wall of height ten meters and length five miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why they didn't use drones…well, these metal slabs were of a special kind. They were incredibly heavy and needed some sort of aura derivative to be injected to be lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, their weight was very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reason they still used these slabs was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Initiating. Step back.\" A mechanical voice sounded and the teams moved back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuaa~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a whistling sound, the black metal slabs began to glow. Then the individual black slabs began to merge and in a matter of minutes, formed a huge black wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, hundreds of drones arrived and arranged lethal weapons on top of the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Testing in a minute. Retreat.\" A soft voice sounded in their minds and every soldier sprinted a few miles away in a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Air exploded violently and a man appeared in front of the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura he gave off was that of a peak level 6 Controller. Without any delay, he 'heightened' his strength and punched the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall shook violently but not a single crack appeared on its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man didn't stop and kept punching the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five minutes, he stopped and gave a thumbs up to the drones in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaa~\" As the soldiers sighed in relief, the voice in their mind continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next project.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1075,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.289Z",1,"novelbin.me","b38059ab51818200223903f496e26d875bab0ada7108535ca28f822f0ad86028","divine-path-system-chapter-242","divine-path-system-chapter-387",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
