"Are you ready?" asked Sarena.
"No, but what choice do we have," I replied, to which she smiled.
We are both flying above the ship under the snowfall, which is cold enough to turn Sovereigns into possible.
It was just a few hours ago, that their rain, but that turned into snow within a minute, and it was cold.
I looked ahead, and I could already see the suppressive region. It is just ten to fifteen minutes away. I have here for two hours and would be for another twenty-two; the shift would be day long, with only eight hours of rest in between.
The shift is day-long, but we will need to be ready every hour to fight. We are on our own, with no help from the Sovereign.
"How is Ven, taking it?" I asked. "He is worried about cleaning; the place is dangerous. A slight leak in the defenses of the ship would kill her," she said and looked at ; I know, what she is trying to say by that.
"Don't worry. If things beco dangerous; I will take her," I said. "Thank you," she replied.
A few minutes passed and there I could feel the suppressive zone faintly. It won't affect things until we reach it, but it still made everyone serious.
"We will reach the suppressive zone in five minutes. Be ready," ca the voice of the captain.
He had beco a genuine leader of the ship, now that the Pri had gone to the seclusion three hours ago; everything was under his command, till the sail out of the suppressive zone.
My heart started to beat loudly as we got closer to it.
I have made a successful breakthrough which raised my strength by a lot, but there are still many Sky Sovereigns, who could beat .
The sa would be with the monsters.
Finally, the ship had reached the suppressive zone; it was less than a mile away from us. I could see the nervousness and fear in the eyes of Sky Sovereigns, but so were grinning wildly.
"Prepare for entry into the suppressive zone," said Captain, and a second later, we flew into the suppressive zone.
Expressions changed, and so nearly fell into the water.
'Captain to the net; is everybody connected?' asked the captain through the soul net. A month ago, they had asked us to practice using a telekinesis thod. It is a net type, that could connect thousands of people with each other.
There are tiers based on authority and I am at the top tier, right below the captain. There are a few more, all of them are stronger than , but none could defeat , not even the captain.
He might have beco, the breakthrough, but after I reached the Mid Earth-Sovereign, he could not.
It would have been great if I had a chance to test my strength against a powerful opponent, but it had been less than two days since my breakthrough.
There was no opportunity to fight, and I was unwilling to use the arena, which is a public space and thus monitored by the Pri.
'Connected,' I replied and took a deep breath, adjusting myself to the suppression.
It is powerful, but unaffecting to use, or rather our power. The might is still present, which is vast, but everyone here is experienced.
So might take more, but they will soon get used to it.
My soul waves spread in every direction, including deep below, and there are monsters everywhere, many coming closer.
Aura of the Pri had kept many monsters away, but here we are of the higher level and there are millions or even billions of monsters in the suppression zone.
A fraction of them could spell trouble for us.
We would need to be careful. I had no wish to before fish food; I don't think anyone wants to beco that, but still, it worried everyone.
It took eleven seconds into the suppressive zone before the first monster attacked us.
Rip!
It is a huge grey fish with sharp thorns all over it. It was cut into two, the mont it ca out of the water.
We are covering the ships from all sides and angles; there are even people down below with great marine stealth abilities. We do not want to be caught off guard by anything.
A few seconds after that, another monster tried, and then another, but it was a group of hundreds.
It was slaughtered by a single person.
If they want to harm us, they will need to co at us with much larger force and it will also need to be all Sky Sovereign forces. One or two leading a big group would be slaughtered.
The monsters didn't seem to have learned their lessons and a few more groups ca in the next few minutes and all of them were slaughtered.
"This doesn't seem coordinated," said Sarena. "It is not, as far as I could see," I replied.
I am pretty sure it is not coordinated.
My range gives a very good idea of whether the monsters are being controlled by the other powerful monsters.
I am using the soul waves to their full range, but not their full power. I don't want anyone to discover them. So, I kept their power low, which gave about the sa range, but I didn't get the quality of the data.
I don't mind it. The data, I am getting from the waves is good enough to make an accurate judge.
If it had been tens or hundreds, of Sky Sovereigns; I might have used soul waves in full power, but there are a lot more. They might have sothing, a thod, artifact or sothing they are born with that might let them discover the forbidden power.
With every breakthrough. The forbidden power becos more engrained in . It made it harder for it to be discovered, but it had not reached the degree of assimilation, that I wouldn't feel worried about it.
On this journey, two monsters were able to do it. One, I have in my core, one I have killed, and they were too much for .
I don't want to add a powerhouse to that list. The consequence of that would be too dire for to bear.
