Chapter 203 - The Strength Of A Sovereign!
Varian's breath stopped for a moment before he tried to pulled himself together.
He tried to control his emotions using his mind power—to calm his racing heart, to stop his sweating palms and to resume his halted breath.
Despite his best efforts, Varian felt suffocated. It was like a human facing a tsunami and realizing their insignificance.
However, he managed to find the will to move. As he turned around, he noticed his shirt and pants were drenched in sweat.
The same was to be said for Sarah, who also barely recovered from the pressure.
Varian had no time to think and grabbed her hand as he pointed to the hologram and then the ring on his finger.
Sarah was confused for a moment before she realized his message.
'If things go beyond control, I'll use ghost ship and get us out of here.' Was his message.
She realized the implications instantly.
Most awakeners on this planetoid would die. No. Not most. But everyone else.
Generally, Sovereign level powerhouses kept watch on strategic planetoids. The likes which had Level 9s stationed on them.
Thus, Demon King acting on this planetoid was unexpected. After all, even though they were geniuses, they weren't even high awakners.
Even for a genius to reach Level 9, it would take many years. If these geniuses were deemed dangerous, to kill them, a level 9 Abyssal, an Abyss Archduke was more than enough.
'Everyone on this planetoid will die.' Sarah bit her lip until it bled.
However, there was no time for her to think through as the pressure intensified.
In the next moment, Demon King appeared a hundred miles away from the planetoid.
He raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. In an instant, the space shook and the void started to tremble.
From the shockwaves of that mere power, surveillance ships a hundred miles away from him turned to rubble.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In an instant, the shockwaves reached the planetoid.
It was like a giant hand fanned the wind.
The awakeners below Level 4 were blown away like pieces of paper under a thunderstorm.
The Level 4 Awakeners dug their feet into the soil and barely stood ground.
The Level 5s were slightly better and the Level 6s only a felt a light sting.
Demon King's body shone in the space like another sun. He kicked the space and shot at the planetoid.
His body was akin to a meteor on course to collide with the planetoid. Everyone saw a bright red light approaching the planetoid.
More than seeing, they felt it.
Boom!
Creak!
Bang!
It was as if magnitude 9 earthquakes erupted everywhere on the planetoid at once.
Tremors ran across the planetoid disregarding the continents, regions and areas.
Every hill, every lake and every platue shook.
Creak!
The Demon King was fifty miles away from the planetoid.
The soldiers, be it human or abyssal had long stopped their actions. The Demon King's speed was too fast.
Even for Level 5 Awakeners, they could barely take in the changes happening.
In their perception, in one instant, a red light flashed in the sky. In the next instant, the ground started shaking.
In the very next instant, the land under their feet started to crack as a heavy pressure descended down on them.
Varian's eyes widened as the description of a Sovereign's power ran through his mind.
'I can destroy the world. I can protect it. I am the greatest shield, I am the sharpest sword. I am the pillar of my race, the pinnacle of strength.'
Varian knew his reaction speed wasn't high enough. In two 'instants' for him, the Demon King would've hit the planetoid.
Even if Boo could take him away using the teleportation, he had to use it before the shockwaves increase and kill him.
'Boo, when the shockwaves turn lethal, teleport us away.' He ordered as he tightened his grip on Sarah's hand.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Every battle ship in the sky—Abyssal or human broke down into pieces and burst like fireworks.
In the next instant, the ground caved in. Across the planetoid, hills were flattened. Tsunamis rose as waves of water shot up miles high.
The low awakeners, even peak of Level 3 started bleeding from all the orifices.
The stronger ones—the Level 6s looked at the sky with despair.
Some opened their mouth to shout, others raised their hands towards the sky. Many tried to run towards the base, in an attempt to escape the planetoid.
But their speed was only so much. To a Sovereign, they were as fast as a tortoise.
Before they could even shout, before they could cover their eyes with their hands, before they could even take a step, the red light intensified.
The Demon King pulled back his fist and circulated the ocean of chi in his body. His chiseled body was tuant like a bow string and the next moment, he punched out.
All alarms of the space patrol went off.
The high awakeners in other planetoids rose into the space as they watched the bright red light in horror and wonder.
As the Demon King's punch was about to connect, everyone had one thought in their mind.
Despite knowing he would survive, Varian also thought of the same thing. It's over.'
As everyone awaited the inevitable, a blinding golden light flashed and the next moment, the planetoid shook like someone had thrown it off course.
A moment later, everyone on the planetoid found themselves miraculously alive. They looked up at the sky and their eyes widened.
A golden giant stood in the air as his fist connected with the Demon King's.
The world was still for a moment before a crack sounded throughout.
Then like a mirror was shattered, the space around them broke into pieces.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Demon King raised his fist and punched out once again.
Varian was able to get a glimpse of the giant above.
Ten meters tall. A perfect body with chiseled muscles. Long golden hair and pointed ears.
Golden Titan.
"Gulp!" Varian swallowed and muttered. "Julius Xander's transformation—Golden Titan!"
