Chapter 426 - A Cosmic Map
"What?!"
As she tried to teleport, Blue Flash suddenly felt the s.p.a.ce around her solidify. Her eyes immediately locked onto the cracked ring in Xia"s hand.
A precious treasure was sacrificed to keep her hindered.
Blue Flash hurried to erect a s.p.a.ce barrier, but it only held on for a moment before the lightning spear pierced through the barriers and reached her.
"…Is this it?" As she clenched her fists and closed her eyes, Blue Flash realized the expected pain hadn"t come.
Rather, she felt a slipper hand covered in a warm liquid grabbing her hand.
"E-Enigma!" Opening her eyes, she gasped at the b.l.o.o.d.y figure half kneeling in front of her.
The spear pierced right through Enigma"s abdomen. While the injury itself might not seem fatal, the lightning mana from the spear had already begun to havoc in her body.
But Enigma didn"t care about her injury. She stretched her trembling hand and grabbed Blue Flash. With a hum, the s.p.a.ce around them began to distort.
Her eyes were locked with Xia"s. "Unexpectedly, you"d stoop so low."
"I know you can teleport alone almost instantly, but taking another person delays you, doesn"t it? For you to stay, she"s a needed sacrifice." Xia sneered and threw another lightning spear at her.
Right then, the s.p.a.ce around Enigma and Blue Flash started to distort. It was only a short moment, but that was enough for a strong level 9 awakener.
The ligtning spear was about to strike them again. Blue Flash put out a s.p.a.ce barrier again and Enigma also clenched her fists, resisting down the spear.
In the end, they succeeded and were about to disappear before the spear struck them.
But Xia seemed to have expected it and simply laughed. At the same moment, a bright light enveloped Enigma.
Then Enigma and Blue Flash were gone.
BOOM!
The lightning spear struck empty ground and shook the secret realm.
"Hahaha!" Xia nodded like a mad woman. "I got her! I got her!"
Rudolf walked up from the distance and looked at the place where Enigma previously stood. A huge crater spanning tens of miles was created.
If Enigma was really hit by that last attack, she might have died.
"Xia, why are you going for the kill? We only agreed to question her." Rudolf glared at the crazy woman.
Xia sneered at him. "I asked her nicely, didn"t I? She answered none of my questions."
"You simply hate non-humans." Rudolf gritted his teeth.
His words seemed to have triggerd her as Xia"s breathing ragged and she laughed in madness.
Tears wetted her cheeks and blood dripped her lips. With disheveled hair and a mad smile, Xia collapsed onto the ground as she said in a mix of rage and despair in a voice that caused Rudolf to shiver.
"Yes! I hate everything that is not human! I hate abyssals! I hate magic beasts! They took everything from me! My brother, my sister, my children, everything related to me is gone!
Such abonimations shouldn"t be allowed to exist. Only human race should be allowed to live. Only then will no one experience the grief I did.
Enigma promised me such a world of peace! But with an alien like herself leading us, how can we be safe?
…How can we be safe?"
Rudolf looked at her and felt rage build inside him. He appeared beside her and raised his hand.
Pa!
The crisp sound reverberated in the air as Xia clutched her cheeks in shock.
"Y-You!"
"Shut up! I don"t understand your thinking. She had her secrets, but perhaps Enigma was really trying to help us."

"Help?" Xia got up with a mocking smile. "Looks like you are still dillusioned. Come, let me show you something."
Ignoring his confusing gaze, Xia walked to Enigma"s home a dozen miles away. She broke the security locks and barged in.
"What are you trying to do?" Rudolf asked again. Xia simply ignored him.
Then after a few minutes of fiddling, Xia found a trapdoor.
"T-This!" Rudolf was taken aback, but immediately said. "Anyone will have secrets. Heck, even I have a secret locker to store treasures."
Xia looked into his eyes and Rudolf somehow lost the strength to continue arguing.
She knew that he knew. This was Enigma they"re talking about.
As if confirming his wildest fears, they did find the secret in the secret room.
A s.p.a.ce ship.
To be precise, a s.p.a.ce ship still under construction.
"…Heavens" c.r.a.p!" Rudolf could only gasp before it him.
Kneeling on the ground, he glanced to the side to see Xia in the same state.
This s.p.a.ce shuttle confirmed his deepest fears.
Enigma was trying to contact her species. Even if she didn"t do it yet, she would be able to do so in the near future.
For humans, it"d only spell a disaster.
"S-She..maybe she just wants to go back." Rudolf tried to be optimistic, but humans didn"t have the luxury.
If another abyssal-like species invaded, they would be extinct.
That"s why, they had to be cautious. Even to the point of taking extreme measures for the slighest possibilities.
Even if it wasn"t Enigma"s intention to contact her species, just the capability to do it was enough to regard her as an extreme threat.
"I…I wish it was false." Rudolf inspected the s.p.a.ce shuttle and sighed.
The materials of the s.p.a.ce shuttle were all made from the precious metals, and alloys found in the ruins.
Enigma had a consistent habit. She"d visit the ruins every month.
She wouldn"t tell anyone what she was doing there. But since they all trusted her, no one pried into her actions.
But now…it was crystal clear what she was upto.
After entering the s.p.a.ce ship, they found there was almost nothing inside. Except a map.
A cosmic map hologram.
It was the size of a typical green board used in old time schools.
At the bottom left corner was a small dot.
Tapping it read "Solar System."
On the map, three regions intersected at a certain point on the map and that point was also marked.
Tapping it read. "Destination."
Rudolf closed his eyes and lowered his head.
Xia patted him on the shoulder. "I will bury her properly."
Her eyes exuded endless killing intent.
"She won"t be able to escape."
