752 Even If The Whole World Doesn't Believe In You

Ghost ship shot through the silver clouds as it chased after Mirage Queen's spaceship.

Psychic Sovereigns were typically used to staying in a place and defending their turf. Even when they go offensive, they preferred defensive armor since their bodies were relatively weak.

However, this didn't mean psychics were weak in comparison to other divine paths.

In compensation for this physical weakness that prevented them from free space travel, they had excellent mind control when they reached a sufficient level.

They could control their enemies to attack their own side.

It's similar to a necromancer but without killing them.

It's also the most efficient way for Mirage Queen to destroy an entire planetoid. Because even if she's a Sovereign, there were millions, if not, tens of millions of soldiers on a single planetoid.

Attacking them all was impossible even with her strength. After all, she's no Celestial.

But, she could attack them batch by batch and in no time, she could take down an entire planetoid.

"Hurry!" Varian rubbed his sweaty palms as they chased after the queen to stop the dreaded future.

Boo turned to tell its master that it was already at full speed, but when it saw Varian's bloodshot eyes filled with fear and regret, it sighed and focused back on the space travel.

When Mirage Queen decided to attack the planetoids, all plans, strategies, and tactics turned useless.

'This is only the third day, Bali won't likely come out. Even the most optimistic outcomes tell he'll be out by the fourth day.' Sia bit her lip.

Honestly, Sia felt sad that so many people were going to die. But beyond that, she struggled to feel anything.

It's like her heart had gone numb and it really had. Even with Varian's healing, she'd take a long time to feel normal things again, and even then, she wasn't certain if she could be completely normal.

But Varian wasn't like that. Even though he grew mentally strong when he decided to face the mirage abyss and do something rather than cry about it, he's someone who'd be greatly affected by what's happening.

'I am responsible for the blood that's about to be shed and lives that are about to be lost.' Sia was certain that it was precisely the thought going through his mind right now.

So, she turned to Varian, who seemed to be pushed to the brink of stress, and sighed. "It's not completely your fault. Kreo's death was unexpected. Strictly speaking, if Evander didn't leave behind Kreo's daughter, nothing would've happened."

Varian stiffly turned his head and looked at her with blank eyes.

"I know you're blaming yourself, but this isn't what you wanted. It just happened." Her soft voice washed over his restless heart and calmed him down.

Sia smiled lightly. "Irene said you should've thought about the consequences. Anna too. I'm sure you'll consider the consequences. So, I'm not going to blame you."

Varian took a deep breath as he felt an invisible weight leaving his shoulders. But he still said what was in his heart. "I didn't want this."

"I know."

"No one believes me." Varian didn't care about the misunderstanding by the common populace.

What worried him was what the people close to him would think. Would they also believe he wanted to push everyone into danger?

Varian was afraid the few relationships he built would crumble under the suspicions and it pained him greatly.

Feeling his weakness, Sia looked into his eyes and said the words straight from her heart. "Even if the whole world doesn't, I believe in you. I'll always."

The burning love in her eyes melted his heart and soul and Varian fell in love with her all over again.

"I love you so, so much."

"I love you too."

The smile she gave when she replied was the most beautiful thing Varian had ever seen.

Then, she lowered her head and started typing something on the comm. It was the number of kisses she wanted to give him right now but wasn't able to do so due to the repulsion.

Varian smiled at her antics and updated his own notes. He wanted to shower her in love and take care of her for the rest of their lives.

"…"

The third-party that was automatically ignored by the love birds looked at their exchange with wanton disdain.

'Boo will die from diabetes at this rate.' The ghost shuddered and glanced at Sia.

'Her head isn't certainly right. She's very extreme in her emotions. Her love for the master is too deep. It's crazy!' The ghost with a half-dead brain said.

'Boo prefers Sarah…' The ghost recalled the blonde beauty. 'Compared to Sia's extremity, Sarah is…'

Sarah's recent changes flashed in Boo's eyes.

Even though she seemed normal, she wasn't! She had become much closer to Varian and Sia while becoming much colder to outsiders.

She too had gone on an extreme route. In fact, Varian even told Boo about how Sarah wanted to murder a maid for trying to seduce Varian.

'Nevermind. Except for Boo, there's nothing normal here.' The extraordinary ghost sighed.

Before it could muse further, a reading appeared on the hologram and Boo yelled. "Master!"

Varian spotted the mirage queen's spaceship and his chest tightened. They were still twenty minutes from the nearest planetoid.

Mirage Queen's spaceship was almost as fast as Boo, so, it'd take about the same time.

"Evacuating the planetoid isn't possible with the abyssal army there." Sia shook her head.

"We can only engage in battle."

"But we can't. No one can. Even if we bring a bunch of peak level 9 psychics into the ghost ship to attack her, her mental attacks will reach inside and they'll die." Sia's brows furrowed.

"The only way they can be safe is to be inside those celestial walls. But that way, their attacks won't reach outside either."

Varian nodded at her words.

It's the bitter reality.

Varian looked at the time and realized they were only three hours from the end of the third day.

"At least if we stall her for a few hours…" He trailed off.

Then what? Would Bali appear? He had no idea.

But.

"We should stall her as long as we can." Varian steeled himself.

"But how?"

Even though the spaceship of Mirage Queen is right in front of them, they couldn't stop her because no awakener…wait a minute.

Varian's eyes lit up.

"Boo!"
