Death's Door

How do you steal a famous scientist right under the nose of a Sovereign?

Firstly, it was an outrageous thought. Even the craziest men would say it's impossible.

You simply don't steal anyone or anything in front of a Sovereign.

They are faster than you, stronger than you, and more perceptive.

It's a futile effort. An endeavor bound to fail. A guaranteed death wish.

But Varian planned that very thing.

That's why, he once again requested Sovereign Irene for the space stones, and got Blue Flash to acquire CTFs for their usage.

Then, he asked them to enter Demon Abyss and CTF to the dungeon closest to the stadium.

He calculated that Julius would quickly return, but in his opinion, the time would be sufficient.

He and Blue Flash extensively studied all the footage—secret and public on Julius' combat and concluded that it was mostly safe.

But they didn't consider the fact that Julius could've gotten stronger.
