For a while, the frequency of the invasions decreased and a period of peace followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fairy Emperor, however, began his shameless attacks on the Abyss Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a feat was impossible without the Zions' help, but even if they knew it, they couldn't prove it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyssals swallowed the bitterness as they cheered for their ruler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor of their hearts and lands didn't disappoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the Fairy Emperor dared to attack, he defeated him fair and square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, recently, the Fairy Emperor had been growing stronger and in one of the recent attacks, a district of the capital city was blown up and a lot of innocents died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Emperor ensured to keep the casualties to the lowest every time, this disaster was a wake-up call to every Abyssal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the attacks of the Fairy Emperor could reach them even when they hid under their Emperor's shadow, then there was no safe place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that tragedy, Fairy Emperor attacked fifty times in two hundred days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly, he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't attack for seven days in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of being excited, Haedon, the Abyss Emperor grew nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was no threat from Fairy Emperor, he would've long gone to Solar System and finished off those humans himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a no-brainer that he should send his powerful forces and better go by himself than still rely on the Eight Abysses that only had a slight edge over the current human race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he neither sent more powerful forces nor went there by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the former, all the forces under his command were busy defending the Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current state of the Empire was like a heavy building barely supported by weak pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one pillar falls, then everything would be at risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he could bet that the building would still stand. But it likely wouldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to gamble on the fate of his Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, despite knowing a fraction of his forces could solve the solar system, he didn't send anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why he didn't go there himself…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, why aren't you going to that far away land to bring the treasure that will save everyone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eva, his innocent daughter, asked him after seeing the casualties one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haedon wanted to smile and brush it off.

During the worst dangers, she was away from him only for three days at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was enough to turn her into a sobbing mess that clung to him for the rest of the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Eva had grown up, she still couldn't bear to part with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the little girl, it was the cruelest punishment in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite that pain…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, if it can stop all our people from dying, please go…\" Eva said with a stiff smile while her tears swirled in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haedon's chest stiffened as bitterness welled up in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He worked hard all his life. Unlike the normal 'Emperors', he didn't indulge in pleasures. He didn't go around suppressing his people or bossing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always, always did his best to save the Abyssals. Be it through Providence Trial or Solar System's legacy, his end goal had always been the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should his daughter experience this bitterness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If only we had the space artifacts…' Haedon closed his eyes and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really went to the Solar System, it'd take anywhere between two to six months for him to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can take the legacy. But by the time I return, the fairies would've killed every single member of my race.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haedon clenched his fist and took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a small but staunch of ministers that advocated a radical strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They asked the Abyss Emperor to go to Solar System with his wife and daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haedon, of course, rejected the plan which was essentially abandoning his race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the back of his mind, if his worst nightmare occurred, then he could at least send his wife and daughter to safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Demon Abyss' Holy Altar was destroyed by Enigma, the remaining seven were more than capable of building a strong enough space tunnel for his wife and daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'They should really protect the holy altars.'
