To Neptune

The Sovereign ended his retreat with a content sigh. Things have gone even better than he expected.

From the moment he learned about the Celestial Ranks, a fire burning inside him to reach that state.

He didn't hesitate to use every method in the book, honorable or not, to get closer to his goal.

Now, he already possessed three artifacts.

Neptune's Demon Sword, Mars' Aether pendant, and his own.

"If it wasn't for Varian, I could've retreated for longer. That bastard." The Sovereign cursed under his breath.

After Varian's incident, all the eight Abysses mobilized their full forces and came to the planetoids.

As a result, he too had to fight his Abyssal counterpart.

Only after sufficiently injuring him did the Sovereign dare to retreat.

Even though they were in a cooperative relationship and the Abyssals even promised him to make him the 'Ruler' of the Solar System, he knew it was all a lie.
