Chapter 451: Reasons Behind Irene's 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.

He was instructing Boo to approach Thunder Abyss without being in their target range and looked totally nonchalant.

"Why are you so cool? You know this will cause problems for Sovereign Irene, right?" Blue Flash asked with a frustrated face.

Since Enigma was being tracked, everyone would know that they disappeared in that secret realm and appeared on the planetoid—Sovereign Irene would come under heavy questioning.

The one that could confront a Sovereign was only a Sovereign. And here, she'd face seven of them with likely no support.

"She knows the consequences better than you and me." Varian shrugged. "She agreed because she can take it. So, don't worry about her."

Then he checked his comm and raised his head. With a smile, he nodded at Enigma and Blue Flash. "Bali will reach Neptune in a few minutes. Prepare yourselves, once we get into Thunder Abyss, we'll immediately land in Pluto's dungeon."

Enigma nodded and entered a training room. It was filled with aura crystals and a rough formation that Boo copied from the academy.

It wasn't as good as the original, but it wasn't too bad. Varian's sparring occurred with those formations on, and they served as an added bonus.

Watching Enigma leave, Blue Flash lowered her voice. "You said there were two things we could do, removing the tracker from Enigma and changing the narrative on her.

Shouldn't removing the tracker be the priority? If there's no tracker, then sneaking into Pluto becomes way easier."

Varian smiled wryly. "Ideally, that's the best choice. But we don't have the luxury."

"What do you mean?" Blue Flash frowned.

"Do you know how to disable or dismantle that tracker?"

"No."

"Can you name with certainty someone who could do it and that someone happens to be a trustable person?"

"…No."

Blue Flash's voice dropped and she sighed.

"So, there's only one choice." Varian looked into the dark expanse of space and said in a bone-chilling voice.

"That scientist Dr. Thomas, he's our only bet." Varian tapped the tempered glass window and smiled coldly. "We can't convince him. So, we can only kidnap him. Unfortunately, he has level 9 guards around him."

Blue Flash clenched her fists and took a deep breath. "So, is it impossible?"

"I never said that." Varian shook his head, his expression becoming calmer and calmer, but his eyes growing colder and colder. "There's a chance to kidnap him. But to do that, we need support from Sovereign Irene and possibly, another Sovereign."

"…" Blue Flash fell silent for a few moments as she processed his words.

From what she had seen so far, Sovereign Irene was supportive of Dreamer. But they didn't know the extent to which she would go.

As a Sovereign, Irene was supposed to put aside her personal feelings and do what was logically in the best interests of the human race—Eliminate Enigma.

There were two reasons she didn't do it.

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.

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?"
