Chapter 1427 Satellite Galaxies
The reunion with his wives, which Varian envisioned to be sweet, ended up him getting lectured for three full hours.
"What? That woman is totally suspicious!"
"You trust a fortune teller in this day and age? Seriously!"
"Cryptic words? Bah! Those are copy-paste lines every fortune teller uses!"
Enigma and Sarah took turns, blasting him one after another. Apparently, Sia wanted to come out and give him an earful too.
But they strictly agreed to not transform as long as they're here. So, Varian was able to save a bit of his mind.
...Or not.
"Brother-in-law! How can you be so stupid?! Even children know not to trust these fortune tellers!"
When even the usually meek Sonya joined, Varian sighed in despair.
'A mysterious powerhouse who does some odd job. But he or she will utter some crytpic words. If you believe them, they'll help you.
Isn't this what happens everytime?
I mean, I was right in everything except the last. That bitch was a mysterious powerhouse and she does an odd job. She also uttered strange words. But she just wants to kill me.
I guess...I'm 90% correct in this situation.'
Thankfully, he didn't say what he was thinking out aloud.
'They might beat me up. Yep, yep.'
So, the man lowered his head and accepted his mistake.

Miss Calamity looked at the man facing her with a hint of irritation.
Like Zahara Onyx under Princess Eshala, he's the best non-divine subordinate under the 7th Prince.
Hector Russ.
"Can't we fight another day?"
But we? We can attack it whenever their forces are not enough. This is not a loss, it's a strategic victory.'
A very big blunder.
Instead of just holding onto the region, Jai Empire used them as launch pads to attack the Milkyway.
The fight which happened in the vast empty space and satellite galaxies between Milkyway and Andromeda until then now had one more region.
Milkyway galaxy itself.
With war happening in the hinterland, the dynamics of the war slowly shifted in the favor of the Jais.
It's been a long, long time since then. But to this day, the Alliance still hadn't been able to get back the lost satellite galaxies.
And that's why, Miss Calamity, like any other responsible powerhouse didn't even think of 'surrendering' the satellite galaxy.
She had already reached that region to meet Varian when this bastard attacked the border. So, she had to rush back.
Thankfully, there were teleportation treasures specifically for these types of border regions. So, she was able to confront him before anything happened.
But she couldn't help but worry about Varian's condition.
Her clone died unexpectedly. She didn't even know what happened as her connection with it was cut off early on.
There's very little chance that he survived.
Duke Kriad would know the answer. And she'd force it out of his mouth by hook or crook.
With those chaotic thoughts in mind, Miss Calamity started a battle with Hector Russ.
The battle continued for three full days.
It shouldn't have taken that long but at some point, a bunch of other peak rank 9s under the 7th Prince also joined, dragging the war.
A few of them died but most of them survived and returned.
After the battle ended, Miss Calamity learned about his survival and rushed to the capital.
Hector Russ and his subordinates attacking her felt less like an attempt to kill and more like a...distraction from something greater.
But in her hurry, she pushed back the hint of unease in her mind.
She'd come to regret it.
