Chapter 512 The Final Step [1]
"Haa~ She isn"t impulsive like this. You know her for a while too, don"t you? She"s…really concerned, to a crazy degree."
As the ghost ship approached Earth, Blue Flash groaned at Varian.
"I understand what you mean." Varian tapped the armrest of his chair and nodded, but the expression on his face still hadn"t eased.
"Then why?" Blue Flash leaned forward in doubt.
"Understanding something and being comfortable with it aren"t the same things." He raised his hands and said.
He needed some time to let Enigma"s actions cool down in his mind.
Blue Flash looked at Varian"s eyes and decided he wasn"t lying. With a sigh, she shook her head.
"Just know that Enigma was ready to risk her life for
Varian stood up and stared out of the window. "Let"s settle the business at hand first."
"I wonder how you"d react if I died." Blue Flash covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Better we never find out." Varian laughed.
Ghost ship streaked past the earth"s s.p.a.ce defenses. The s.p.a.ce stations, the s.p.a.ce patrol, and even the most sophisticated radars failed to detect the ghost ship"s arrival.
Once it was in the earth"s atmosphere, ghost ship increased its stealth and thus, reduced its speed.
Then, it started to circle the earth.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With Boo"s s.p.a.ce radar working at full capacity, the secret realms were detected one by one.
Since Boo had already done such activity once in the past, it was much easier this time.
Within an hour, Boo already found the target.
Within that hour, Varian received Enigma"s report on the gamma potion.
{While I"m no expert in this field, this potion"s fundamental structure is identical to the one made by Roxanna: Alpha Potion.
Miracle Potion itself is a superior version of said Alpha Potion.
Gamma potion is made of nearly the same ingredients but its quality is several grades lower.
The main component—Sia"s blood infused with her auras is missing in this potion.
It is replaced by something…I"m not sure. This new ingredient is also the most important one. But from my observation, this ingredient, combined with others can have a devastating long-term impact.}
"Not a positive conclusion. I expected nothing less from the Xanders." Varian sneered.
"Since they pa.s.sed the safety review, the dangers cannot be found by normal methods." Blue Flash opined.
Even though Varian didn"t like the Xanders, he agreed. "Enigma knows what she knows because of Sia"s blood and Roxanna. Her genius is still haunting us, eh."
"Well, if we can find someone of her caliber, we can show the problems in the potion to the world." Blue Flash shrugged helplessly.
Roxanna was one of a kind. There were no equals to her in this generation.
"Actually, we do have a guy." Varian snapped his fingers and a chained figure came into view.
The thin man was bleeding from all over as sharp objects—nails, bolts, knives, swords, and spears remained impaled in his body.
"Dr. Thomas." Blue Flash said in a complicated emotion.
"Woo! Woo!" The once famous doctor merely struggled for a few seconds before his eyes turned blank.
Varian turned around and raised his hand.
Pa!
Thomas" face burnt up with stinging pain as he spat out a mouthful of blood and teeth.
"Can this piece of s.h.i.t be of any help? Whether I like it or not, he"s a top scientist after all." Varian asked with a s.a.d.i.s.tic expression.
Blue Flash felt a shiver down her spine. By the time she reached ghost ship, Dr. Thomas was already fully "serviced".
It wasn"t the torture that bothered her. As an Athena agent and Shadow Guardians" deputy leader, she had seen worse.
It was the casual att.i.tude with which Varian dealt with it that irked her. If she wasn"t sure that Varian was on humanity"s side, she"d have attacked him at any cost. Because such a person would become a nightmare to his enemies.
"He can"t help. His specialty isn"t in potion-making." Blue Flash said in a dry voice.
"Oh, right." Varian sighed in disappointment and snapped his finger.
"Grrhhh!" A lightning blade pierced into Dr. Thomas" shoulder and electrocuted him, withdrawing just before he could suffer irreversible damage.
Blue Flash watched his actions in silence. She felt that Varian knew Thomas couldn"t help, yet he asked her.
"Was it because he wants to confirm...no, he just wanted an excuse." Blue Flash understood when she saw Varian"s chilly smile.
Unaware of her thoughts, Varian opened a holographic map and pointed to a moving location.
"This secret realm is the stronghold of gamma potions. We infiltrate it and get this "crucial ingredient" they replaced Sia"s blood with." He reiterated the mission"s plan.
"Hm," Blue Flash nodded.
"There are level 9s in it. It"s a risky mission." Varian stressed the word "risky".
After the near-deaths in both Pluto and Expo, he was more sensitive to the risks than ever.
Blue Flash puffed out her chest and said. "Don"t worry, escaping is my strong suit."
"…" Varian fell silent for a moment before nodding. "Good."
{Master, we"re entering the secret realm.}
The world around ghost ship flashed before the sky changed.
A large landscape spanning hundreds of miles came into view.
There were small blue blocks spread across the land.
As they neared them, they could see that each blue block was a building. The block had a hundred floors and was about half a mile in radius.
Each such block occupied dozens of miles in radius and the whole secret realm was covered by a few dozen blocks.
"So, this is the brains of Xanders, huh," Varian smirked and his lips curled up. "It"ll be history soon."
"Er, what are you thinking of doing?" Blue Flashed asked in worry. "You can"t kill them."
"Haha~" Varian simply laughed in response.
Slowly, ghost ship reached one of the blue blocks.
"Boo, take control," Varian said and in a few seconds, the entire secret realm was under Boo"s control.
Then he finally turned to Blue Flash. "Find the final ingredient. I have a hunch..it"ll be important."
Blue Flash nodded.
Shrrr.
With a creak, the ghost ship"s door opened and Blue Flash teleported into the building.
Varian held his breath and waited eagerly.
This was the final step to reverse everything!
