Chapter 756 The Brightest Light In The Darknest Night
Varian looked at mars" condition and held himself from sighing. He felt like someone was grabbing his heart and yanking it out of his ribcage.
In just a short period of time, he accepted killing abyssals even if they"re individually good. He also got used to killing millions of abyssals despite the gruesome sight.
He also accepted responsibility for an outcome he didn"t expect at all.
However, he struggled to accept the magnitude of what was really becoming an unintended mistake.
"If I didn"t kill Kreo…no, I didn"t want to kill him. I just wanted him to suffer."
But the result of his revenge was the loss of countless lives.
No matter what he intended for, Varian knew in the depths of his heart that he was responsible for tens of millions of deaths.
It wasn"t his fault—Kreo"s death was something he clearly didn"t intend for, but it was still his responsibility.
To be honest, Varian thought things would work out in the end. Like they always did.
He felt that if he stopped Mirage Queen for three days, then Bali would appear and stop her. He thought he wouldn"t have to see the consequences of his actions.
But reality gave him a different answer.
He wasn"t immune from consequences. He won many times. But this time, he lost.
Even if Bali appeared now and stopped Mirage Queen, the damage had already been done.
More than ten million lives, dozens of level 9s, and hundreds of level 8s were already dead.
Nothing he could say or do would change this fact.
"But I can"t be stopped by guilt."
Despite what he did or perhaps because of it, Varian was even more determined to keep going forward.
This day would forever be imprinted in his heart.
As the day when he learned the meaning of responsibility the brutal way.

Mirage Queen opened her eyes and licked her purple lips.
In a matter of minutes, she killed six level 9s on this planetoid.
The six level 9 abyssals on the planetoid quickly launched an attack on the level 8s and started a ma.s.sacre.
"The result is set. Another planetoid. A million more lives." The eyes of the queen shone with joy.
"But Kreo, you still aren"t coming out." Her gaze shifted to a planet in the far distance.
With every planetoid she took down, Mirage Queen"s doubts grew.
She was still doubtful whether to take that final step.
To her nemesis planet.
As she was about to pick another planetoid, a message flashed in front of her.
[Mars is being evacuated! The troops on the planetoids are retreating! They"re even using teleportation formations!]
"WHAT?!"
Mirage Queen"s eyebrows shot up as she realized humanity was essentially abandoning mars.
Doing this meant only one thing.
"Hahahaha!" Mirage Queen laughed and laughed until tears dropped from the corner of her eyes.
"What a day! To think I"d get mars on the silver platter."
With a snap, her s.p.a.ceship shot towards Mars.
Two s.p.a.ceships belonging to level 9 fire abyssals acted as her rear guard and followed behind.
And two more s.p.a.ceships belonging to high level 9 human awakeners led her as they took the role of the vanguard!
Controlling a high level 9 was much harder than just stunning them. Giving specific orders to two level 9s was her limit.
But Mirage Queen did it anyway. She made level 9s kill level 9s and picked the strongest one to be her toys.
So far, she changed her toys twice after her toys died fighting till death.
Leaving behind the planetoids, the s.p.a.ceship was racing towards the planet.
If possible, she wanted to use the teleportation formations to instantly reach mars, but too bad that human technology was strict.
Even then, she"s confident in reaching Mars in an hour at most.
"Go! To death and destruction! Today is the beginning of the end!"
Even though a good chunk of the population might escape, Mirage Queen was confident in killing at least a billion people and slaying thousands of high awakeners.
She still didn"t know if Kreo would return later, but it didn"t matter even if he did.
Once Mars was conquered, humanity would be divided.
Mercury, Venus, and Earth would no longer be able to access the outer planets and vice versa.
Once that happened, humanity would enter a period of regression. The predictions of experts stating that mankind would surpa.s.s abyssals would turn out into cruel jokes.
Caught in this negative spiral, humanity would quickly lose to abyssals who were willing to go all out this time.
"Varian, today is the day where your race"s fate will be decided. I dare you to come again and stop me again." Mirage Queen grinned.
As if responding to her words, a bright light shone in the dark s.p.a.ce and four collisions sounded abruptly.
"What happe—?"
A ship crashed into hers and Mirage Queen"s eyes widened in rage as she detected the comers.
A ghost ship and fifty awakeners.
All level 9s.
Unexpectedly, they didn"t evacuate but came to fight her.
But even before them, a certain ship tried to crash into her.
"Not falling twice for the same trick."
The Queen"s rear guard, the two level 9 fire abyssals set up a fire shield and blocked off the ghost ship.
"We"ll not let you pa.s.s!" Standing at forefront of the awakeners, Skad declared as he conjured a lightning bolt.
"Heh. If you all want to die so much, then I will grant your wish." Mirage Queen"s psychic power shot out like a whip and attacked a water awakener.
Her eyes shook violently as she struggled to control her body. Slowly, but surely, she raised her hand and conjured an ice spear before thrusting it toward her comrade.
The Queen"s vanguard, the two level 9 humans rushed to their former comrades and unleashed the deadliest strikes without caring for their own lives.
Lightning dragons roared and the s.p.a.ce shook. Explosions capable of destroying continents were thrown in groups.
The s.p.a.ce shrouded in darkness was lit up by a mult.i.tude of colors.
On a day darker than the night, guardians of mars burned their souls to light up the world.
