Death

A common saying in federation went by. "If you want to see how far you've progressed, return to the starting point."

Varian felt the same thing when he began a second marathon of the eight planetoids afflicted by Wyverns.

Compared to the first batch, the second bath of wyverns all contained twenty wyverns.

Ten low level 8. Six mid level 8. Three high level 8. One peak level 8.

Compared to the first batch, this was a big improvement.

Varian didn't encounter many peak level 8s on Pluto and was in the assumption that Abyssals couldn't raise them.

But only now did he realize that he interrupted the wyverns and didn't let them grow to their fullest.

Else he might've been chased by dozens of peak level 8s.

But despite facing a much stronger second batch, he actually finished them faster compared to his first run!
