Frontlines:
When one says frontlines, they would mean the planetoids.
Now, Every planetoid in Earth's domain was now under pressure.
The Abyssals and humans on these planetoids were always in a state of tension, but just a few minutes ago, Abyssals escalated their actions.
They fired the first shot and soon, all the bases in planetoids found themselves in an all out war against their counterparts.
This was nothing like the fight on Rena planetoid.
In this war, high awakeners were seen everywhere. Level 9s stationed on strategic planetoids started their battle with their Abyssal counterparts.
The level 8s were fighting far away from the rest, but the sheer aftermath of their battle was lethal to many.
The level 7s were the biggest force in the war of this scale.
As both sides gave their best, the war quickly turned into a bitter, prolonged fight.
Evander was resting in his base. His complexion was pale and he coughed from time to time.
He already fought his counterpart. A peak Level 9 Abyssal. The Archduke of the Demon Abyss. Mendis.
In fact, he picked the fight right after Dreamer's message.
With his efforts, he and Mendis were both injured. They both retired from the battlefield shortly after the war started.
Having accomplished his goal, Evander looked at the frontline holograms and frowned.
This was clearly Abyssal's ploy to help out Shadow Order. He could indeed ask for reinforcements from other planets.
But if he did that, then it was very likely that Abyssals would start the same all out war on the other planet's planetoids.
The reinforcements had to be pulled back and since they were en route to Earth, in the gap, he would cause higher casualties.
In short, he had to make do with what he had.
Neutralize their offense, reduce casualties as much as possible while sending them a powerful counterattack.
Abyssals had to be learn that there was a price they must pay for their belligerence.
If nothing ominous occurred, in a decade or two, the comprehensive strength of Human Armed Forces would surpass Abyssals.
Then they could go for an all out war.
No!
If the elixir of the Xanders was really as effective, then they would surpass Abyssals in five years!
Of course, if they didn't have an extra Sovereign, it wouldn't help.
So, to finish off Abyssals, they needed the new Sovereign as well as stronger army.
A good start would be ending the Shadow Order. The biggest hindrance to growth of humans.
He was certain that Enigma already got the coordinates of the Secret Realm. And she would also start the attack.
But Shadow Order was ultimately stronger than the Guardians. There was no way they could win.
At most, Guardians could break open the Secret Realm. Army would have to do the job of eradicating them.
But in the current situation, he couldn't deploy suitable manpower to Earth. And from the intelligence reports, Abyssals cross tunnel to a couple of Dungeons a minute ago and were rushing out of the Dungeon.
The Planet Guards were fighting them off…but if they were to meet Shadow Order, then Evander was sure Shadow Order could escape.
It was likely that even Dreamer wouldn't be able to do anything next time.
So, this was a golden opportunity that shouldn't be missed!
In the red room filled with ashes of Abyssals, Evander spoke into the comm. "General Bali, go to Earth."
"Huh?" A hoarse voice came from the other side.
In the background, there were noises of something cracking and roasted along with the screams of Abyssals.
"On Loba planetoid. No time." Bali replied curtly.
He didn't show any form of respect and spoke in the tone of equals.
And equals they were.
Evander took a pill and stretched his arms. "I'll be on Loba planetoid. You finish off the Shadow Order."
There was only noise of mirrors cracking, burning and curses before Bali replied. "You sure?"
Bali knew that Evander was already injured. So fighting now would only harm him and cause deeper injuries.
It could even cut off his future chances to being a Sovereign. In the worst case, his strength would regress.
But he didn't know, due to his intense training, Evander already had a block he couldn't cross to becoming a Sovereign.
So he boarded his space shuttle and set off.
On Loba's moon, a human and Abyssal were fighting.
The Abyssal's speed defied naked eye. He would seem to appear in a hundred places at once.
His speed was so high that he was leaving a hundred afterimages!
Each of his punch had the power to shake a continent and yet everyone of them landed on empty air.
The air was compressed and burst, the force rivaling a small nuclear bomb.
Everywhere he punched in air, the air blasted craters miles wide and deep.
And he punched the ground once, the whole moon shook while the the land under him was nearly broke into pieces for hundreds of miles.
"Argh! You damn Bali!" The Abyssal yelled and kicked the ground.
In an instant, he appeared hundreds of miles away and punched at the figure that just appeared.
A tall man with red hair and black eyes.
Looking at the fist that could crack even the continents, Bali was calm.
His figure burst into flames and a layer of space covered his body. Space Armor.
At the same time, the space around the Abyssal's fist was frozen.
Creak!
"Argh! Fuck you!" It was broken in an instant, but Bali was already prepared.
He stretched his arm and a large spear was formed out of blue flames.
He reinforced it with space layers and the spear shot at the Abyssal.
As it dashed towards the Abyssal, the space around the spear loosened and increased its momentum.
The same space tightened around the abyssal, decreasing his momentum a little.
"Argh!"
The fist and spear collided.
Boom!
A huge mushroom of dust rose into the air. The moon started to shake uncontrollably.
Even from the Loba planetoid, one could see huge cracks on Loba's moon's surface.
"Hmph!" With a snort, it was as if a hurricane was formed.
Air blasted out in every direction, blowing the dust away.
The Abyssal walked forward step by step. There was a deep cut on his arm. His flesh was black and gave off a burnt smell.
His flesh started to wriggle and heal.
But the Abyssal felt enormous rage. Bringing out his axe, he rushed towards Bali.
"Die!"
At the same time, Bali asked into comm. "Hey, I'm asking you, are you sure?"
A bright light flashed and a fist punched out the axe, blowing away the Abyssal.
"I'm sure." Evander turned back at Bali and said.
Bali looked at Evander and realized he was using a pill to suppress his injuries.
Besides, Evader was a Heal Fighter.
Body Awakener —> Controller —> Heal Fighter.
They could control their healing and use it to break their limits.
Of course, their starting point was lower but their potential was higher than the Super Awakener.
Now, Evander had forcibly pushed the healing to an upper limit. But it'd come back to bite him soon.
Bali knew. Evander knew. But it was his choice.
"Shadow Order is our biggest internal threat. If we can root them out of Earth, our progress will accelerate. Don't let any level 8s and 9s escape." Evander said and rushed towards the Abyssal.
Boom!
"I've asked my people to block off your team's opponents. But we're all injured and can only buy you five minutes. Go!"
Bali took a deep breath and said into his comm.. "6th Asura squad, onto Earth."
