The Aftermath

It had been five days since Bali began his battle with Mirage Queen. Thankfully, Bali was able to keep his head on his shoulders and hold a stalemate.

Bali expected major injuries at least. But for some reason, Mirage Queen seemed to be in a weakened state.

'Perhaps it's for closing the Abyss?'

Bali thought as he watched the Mirage Queen leave the battlegrounds.

But unlike usual, she didn't leave the planetoid to heal her injuries and stayed there.

The level 9s that came with her were also settled on their respective planetoids.

Bali understood their goal.

Mirage Queen wanted to lock Bali down with herself. The level 9s of Abyssals would lock down the human level 9s.

After the changes in the Abyss, they didn't need to worry about Varian's terror attacks.

Right now, they had a small excess of level 9s compared to Mars. Using this, they hoped to slowly conquer the planetoids.
