Unlike Heaven's Will, it couldn't directly reduce the combat power of hostile units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the psychological challenges it posed were a headache in the case of large-scale military operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, the fiercer the conflict, the greater the mental suppression. This meant the combat units wouldn't be able to exert their full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third and most dangerous of them all was its boost to abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the rule of thumb was a 5% increase, it only applied to low abyssals. For mid abyssals, it was 3% and for high awakeners, it was 1%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it might not seem much at first glance, it changed everything when applied on a Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the high awakeners from humans could win against their abyssal equivalents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why, even though the experts were optimistic of humanity gaining a decisive edge over abyssals in the next two decades, there were barely any discussions of invading the abyssals and ending them for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, ghost ship sneaked into such a dangerous place. Due to its specialty, the ghost ship was capable of hiding from Thunder Abyss' will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it couldn't hide the tracker from Enigma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, ghost ship was exposed right when it approached the abyss' entrance—a huge, huge dark mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From there, it was chased and with almost a thousand patrol ships and a few thousand abyssals behind its back, ghost ship barged into the Thunder Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky of thunder abyss was eternally covered by black clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lightning bolt with the thickness of a bucket struck down a tree a couple of hundred meters away from the ghost ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to what one would expect, the tree wasn't burnt to ashes. In fact, the golden-leaved tree started giving off a blinding light as it absorbed as much as lightning mana it could from the lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal lightning didn't possess much mana, but Thunder Abyss' lightning was a different matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the huge tree only absorbed only 30% of the mana and discharged 70% into the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mana quickly spread into its vicinity and was absorbed by the greedy grass, flowers, and plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian would've appreciated the scenery, only if a huge aura pressure didn't lock on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Archdukes…\" He muttered as auras rivaling Bali pressed down on them. Needless to say, they all detected Enigma's arrival and were about to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they did, it'd be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian turned to Blue Flash and said. \"Now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Flash hurriedly nodded as she checked the formation on a metal sheet. It was filled with intricate carvings and exquisite materials shaped in a special order. In the center were a bunch of space stones—the most expensive materials of the formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's ready.\" She nodded with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian put away the formation into his storage ring and nodded. \"Now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he was out of ghost ship. The ship itself shrunk and turned into a ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Varian was out, he felt a terrifying pressure descend on him, threatening to crush him to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they were thousands of miles away, Varian knew he was staring at death in the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcing his body that threatened to freeze under the pressure, he summoned the formation from the storage ring and then snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space distorted and Varian immediately felt a strong pull. He didn't struggle and let himself be carried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And before he lost control over himself, he threw a few blocks of durasium and Ragnarok into the air with precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as his vision started to blur, he saw four silhouettes on the horizon. Just by a single look, the pressure on him rose multi-fold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bones were on the verge of being crushed, and thankfully, the cross tunneling was finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right when he vanished, the durasium connected with ragnarork, and a small, but concentrated explosion covered the cross tunneling formation, breaking it into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, four abyssals exuding a terrifying breath appeared in the location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge crater was formed due to the explosion, extending for hundreds of meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading archduke scrutinized everything with his lightning sense and was baffled to find that he only found metal powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever formation they used was right in the middle of the explosion and was timed perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew the power of ragnarork very well. They were very proud of it once. Now it was used against them by that fucking dreamer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ensured that even traces weren't left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't mean they had no clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cross Tunneling!\" The leading archduke growled and looked at his peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They nodded in agreement. For if not for Cross Tunneling, why would he risk entering the abyss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was the target?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He needs to go to other abysses.\" The leading archduke frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's alert all forces and keep more focus on the tracker. Enigma isn't a major threat anymore. Dreamer is nothing without his ghost ship. Whatever they do, they're bound to fail.\" Another archduke advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right.\" The leading archduke nodded and tapped his comm, informing all the abysses of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, the youngest archduke said. \"Maybe he's trying to tunnel into a dungeon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With that? A broken level 8 and his power which wasn't even strong to fight us?\" The leading archduke said and the rest nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narrowing his eyes at the damaged place, the archduke sneered. \"For helping Enigma, he's also termed as a mortal enemy of humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he left Enigma, well and good.. If he insisted on helping her, no matter how far he runs, no matter what he tries, Dreamer will be buried with her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","843a114605ae3154bbe0d368c826f35e2df79fa27d3d19068ddbfbb6ec9b1b8e","divine-path-system-chapter-454","divine-path-system-chapter-452",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
