Chapter 983: A Nightmare

Varian's words jolted the dumbfounded crowd out of their shock.

The abyssals looked at him like he was a ghost while the humans looked up to him as a hero.

"W-Why?" The Archduke of Neptune, a very powerful peak level 9 and one of the few people that witnessed Varian slaughtering entire abyssal planetoid armies by himself in the last war, stepped forward and asked in a voice that was almost close to despair.

His odd question resonated with all the abyssals present. After all,  he didn't ask the obvious question of how Varian returned after his obvious death—How did you not only escape certain death but also managed to return?

Considering Varian survived by luck, it's impossible for him to return to the solar system after being lost in some faraway space. But they couldn't deny the reality.

"Why?" Varian raised a brow and his lips slowly curled up into a devilish, icy but strangely serene smile.
