Chapter 820 A Meeting With Sovereign Ares (2/2)

But if they didn't, then—

"But I'll inform you once I find the traitor That way, you can protect yourself and your artifact" Varian said, relieving Ares' worry

"I don't think he'll attack anytin dies, the federation has a serious chance of being defeated" Ares opined

"I wouldn't be so optin dies, Heaven's Will pro as the traitor is ensured that his safety won't be endangered for a few ht risk it"

"No!" Ares said, a little agitated "Before the Sovereign is born, the planet he's protecting will be conquered by the Abyssals! Tens of millions of soldiers will be killed! And even if we try our best to evacuate the population, billions will still die! No Sovereign would do that!"

'That's what alht "Please, what makes you think the traitor would be so compassionate?"

"Co a huht? What's the use if he achieved it but killed billions in the process?"

Varian fell silent for a ure of Abyss Emperor flashed in his mind and for some reason, he felt like he understood why the traitor was being so resolute

With a wry s for our race? And the only way to win him is to kill billions? Would you do it?"

"Never!" Ares firo extinct," Varian said lightly

"I…" Ares fell into a dilemma

If it's a s through so many wars, he had come across countless situations where soldiers had to be sacrificed for victory Most of the tih, the soldiers were more than happy to lay down their lives for their race

Even if it's civilians, Ares would've allowed it if the number was in million It's very vile, yes, but he could sto he couldn't even begin to iine

"Come on, out of the current fifty billion, you can save either forty or none What do you pick?" Varian continued to press on

Ares closed his eyes and took a deep breath Then, his eyes snapped open and he looked at Varian with a serious gaze

"This isn't a nuame, Varian These are lives! Billions of lives!"

Varian shrugged "People have different ways of looking at the world And for some reason, I think the traitor is someone who looks at the numbers"

"Why is that?"

"Because every man is the hero of his own story He will always find a proper justification, a rational reasoning, no ht"

"Haa…" Ares paused for aseemed to click inside his

"So, the traitor thinks one big sacrifice can save enerations?"

"Hhed deeply and confessed "If push comes to shove, and if we're in the neck of time, I'll choose to sacrifice few to save many

But there is ti for a way to save everyone? Is there really a stronger enemy out there or does he just want to rule the federation?"

Varian fell silent for a few seconds and shrugged "No idea"

Abyss Ens likely didn't know of his existence Even if they souessed it, they would think he was far away and posed no threat to theer Abyss King instead of a Celestial Ranker

After all, if Abyssal Emperor was really so powerful, he could just visit the solar systen in a day

He had a hundred and twenty years to do this but never bothered

Why would any Sovereign think this Abyss Emperor was an existential threat to hu strength, Varian wasn't sure what the Sovereigns would do

The only way to stop him would be to reach the Celestial Rank then achieved that

Even Julius said onti of the next realm

So, the only way out would be artifacts

Gather six artifacts and get promoted to Celestial Rank

Then the question: Who should get proenius Julius?

The most experienced Albert?

And what about the traitor?

What would he do?

There was a significant chance federation ht enter a civil war

So, Varian decided not to reveal thishim farewell, Varian left
