It's like he let go of something weighing on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia tried asking him, but Varian merely smiled and walked to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her surprise, the distance between them was cut short to three feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…how?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secret,\" Varian said with a cheeky smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma assured him that Sia wouldn't know what happened. Even though he didn't like to keep secrets from her, some things were better off not said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You…\" Sia pouted as she gave him a resentful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But realizing it's not gonna get him to spill the beans, she walked into the command center and studied the latest developments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian stood behind her. Even though they still had a significant distance, due to their levels, it felt like they were standing next to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his hot breath on her back, Sia's face flushed lightly and she stepped to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Focus! Sia, Foc…..'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian stood behind her and Sia chewed her lips in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He's doing it on purpose!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all this time of solitude, she was aching for a warm hug. Feeling his presence so up close, Sia felt more and more unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she kept staring at the holograms displaying the mars' planetoids' conditions, nothing was registering in her brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I…I need a hug…no, I need to see the situation…no, a hug…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her internal conflict continued to escalate, Sia suddenly felt a warmth covering her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two warm hands wrapped around her waist, a large and sturdy chest touching her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Sia knew this was only created through Varian's telekinetic power, she closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank You…\" Her lips curled into a smile and she chirped in a happy voice, like a little girl that got candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian scratched his head. 'Where is my hug?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't disturb her by asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he realized his actions in revenge were impulsive, if he's given another chance, he'd still pursue revenge, minus Kreo's daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'On the bright side, I got rid of a Psychic Sovereign.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Julius who could at most kill, Kreo was much more dangerous. If he captured Sia or Sarah, he could erase their memories of him, completely this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, mind awakeners have a very strong resistance to memory manipulation. That's the reason Roxanne didn't try to brainwash Sia. Roxanne wanted to exploit her, not cripple her golden goose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, Kreo would've been able to tamper with their minds and cause big problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No use crying over spilled milk.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian pulled a drawer and called Boo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reliable ghost showed him the condensed news, including the relevant footage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It started?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's plan was adopted and modified by the high generals to suit the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In essence, it relied on a single principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Appear strong when you are weak, appear weak when you are strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they're weak, they needed to appear strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would a strong party do after gathering their forces on the planetoids?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't pull any punches and went all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, they started with skirmishes—short, intense battles aimed to disrupt the enemy's balance and boost their own morale— all over the planetoids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's written plan ended here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From here on was the generals' handwriting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wars suddenly escalated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a planetoid, like all others, humans and abyssals faced off each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the clouds, it seemed like the collision of countless black dots and countless gray dots. It reminded one of the scenes of two ant colonies confronting each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two level 7 commanders were in the army base, but their eyes were closed as they faced off their counterparts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were fighting each other in the illusion constructed from their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your time has come to a close, the pattern of planetoids will change.\" The human commander declared with confidence close to conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One-half of the illusion world was dyed blue. It was his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. Empty confidence.\" The abyssal commander laughed. \"Just like your empty strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other half was red. It was the abyssal's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See for yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge spear materialized itself in the blue sky. Splitting the blue lands below with its sheer speed, it shot toward the abyssal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Futile!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant red shield materialized itself in front of the abyssal and blocked the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world shook violently as the spear gained an upper hand and broke through the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue world grew a bit dominant and swallowed a portion of the red world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abyssal's face paled as he felt the pain in his psychic power. His chest heaved up and down as he stared at the enemy with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll pay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't bark too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the battle of the commanders escalated, the battlefield ended up a mix of brilliant colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Icy blue arrows and bloody red spears flew rained from the sky. Mud-colored spike balls attached to lightning chains moved across the battlefield as they skewered enemies like squashing bugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the huge battle involving more than ten thousand soldiers on each side, the right-most regiment was headed by a very competent officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier Bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on top of a guarded tower, he said with a serious expression. \"A-1, smash the lightning awakeners.
