Ayn saw the missiles coming towards them, and without thinking anything, she took action. She didn't care what the direction of the missiles was. All she cared about was that it seemed to be coming towards them.

Yale had also seen the missiles which were fired just when he was about to attack. He was still confused with such a lousy aim, but he soon realized the scheme.

'They will probably use Telekinesis to change the direction. It's just to throw us off.'

Realizing their plans, Yale also modified his plan. Their self-protection was most important for him, but before he could even take any action, he saw a huge ice wall appeared in the middle of them and the missiles.

The ice wall seemed to be close to five meters thick and fifty meters tall, covering a big area and protecting the entire facility and even more.

Yale noticed the Ice Wall and understood what it meant.

Smiling, he turned back as he excitedly said, "Captain, you're out."

"Of course I am out, but may I ask what you all are doing? Instead of taking the enemy out, you let them close in? Is this how you work?" Ayn scolded Yale as she glared at him.

The missiles that were coming towards them hit the ice wall, blowing up. Surprisingly, the Ice Wall was still intact. Other than a small crater on the wall where the missiles had hit, there seemed to be not much damage.

Dion, who was still sitting in the helicopter with his eyes closed, began opening his eyes lazily as he muttered, "Ayn."

"I'll get them down and do what you had to do yourselves," Xander said as he started walking towards the Ice Wall.

"Ayn, cover the entire facility with your Ice Wall. Let's separate the battlefield from the facility," he told Ayn.

Yale was surprised to see Xander commanding Ayn, but he didn't see Ayn complain.

Instead, Ayn did as Xander told her since she believed that it was the right step to take at this moment. When the battlefield got chaotic, it was going to be hard protecting the facility, so protecting it right now seemed like the best idea.

She once again placed her hands on the ground as she started using her Ice Control.

A thick ice wall had already appeared on the north from where the helicopters were coming, but now another thick ice wall had appeared on the south side of the facility as well.

Another thick Ice Wall also appeared from the east and the west side, closing the entire space with four ice walls, making it impossible for anyone to leave this place or enter. The only path that remained was in the sky.

Surprisingly, she also covered the sky as well as a thick snow roof appeared on the top of four ice walls, closing the last opening as well, leaving no path of entrance.

"Boss, it seems like he was right in his prediction. Ayn actually closed the space!" One of the Variant Uprising members told Dion as he smiled.

"Perfect. They can move out now. Go down," Dion commanded as he finally stood up. "I guess his prediction did work this time even though he only had a ten percent success rate."

The first helicopter started going down and landed. Behind it, the second helicopter also started going down, followed by the third.

In the end, the helicopter with Lucifer also started descending and landed on the ground. However, unlike the first three helicopters, it didn't land straight, facing the south.

Instead, it landed while facing the west, making sure that the exit of the helicopter was on the opposite side of the facility, blocking the view.

"I guess finally that guy came in handy. His prediction was right this time," Caen said as he stood up. "Come, Lucifer, let's leave. It's time to go and get to your goal."

Caen and Lucifer stepped out of the helicopter.

"Henrik, Fiona, and Missy, you three come with us. The rest of you stay here and help the others," Caen told his team members.

Most of his team members walked around the helicopter to meet up with the others. As for the three that Caen had named, they stood behind with him.

"Henrik, get to work fast," Caen commanded.

Hearing the order from Caen, a thin man known as Henrik stepped forward and placed his hand on the ground, which started disappearing.

A tunnel had started forming on the ground. It kept getting deeper as time went by. After a few seconds, the tunnel was wide enough for the others to enter.

Henrik was already inside the tunnel, walking towards the south, making more tunnels as he went.

Caen jumped inside the tunnel; behind him, Lucifer also jumped inside. The two ladies that had stayed behind were the last to enter.

As Lucifer walked with Caen inside the tunnel, he was amazed at the scheming. Instead of fighting and going through the hard way, they were so cunning as to travel through the tunnel.

He was slowly understanding more and more how scheming was sometimes more useful than strength. It was right.

A righteous man may win a war with his strength, but a cunning man was able to win the war even without relying on strength alone, but his brain. And when that shrewd man had strength as well, that was a powerful combination, undefeatable.

He realized that's what he needed to become~ a wise man. He had strength, all he needed was a cunning mind, and he was going to be invincible.

However, there was another question in his mind which was about the prediction. Caen had talked about some predictions being right. What was that about?

Moreover, this plan to make a tunnel depended on many uncertain factors.

Curious, he finally decided to ask.

"You said something about someone's prediction being right this time. What did it mean?" he asked Caen with eyes filled with intrigue.

"Oh, that? It's not complicated, actually. There is someone in our Variant Uprising called Predictor. Even though that guy is blind, he can see more than others through his A-Rank ability called Divine Prediction," Caen answered.

"Every once in a while, he gets a premonition which tells him what will happen in the future. The premonition is always short, and most of the time, it's wrong."

"So far, he has only been right ten percent of the time in his prediction, but still, he is an important part of the Uprising and a close aide of Raia," he added as the face of a man appeared before his eyes whose eyes were covered in a black cloth.

"Anyway, this time, before we left, coincidentally, he had a prediction. In his prediction, he said he saw a big ice tomb covering the entire facility as we reached here and the battle happening outside that Ice Covered facility."

"So we also adjusted our plan. Even though the chance of him being right is rare, we decided to take the risk this time, and thus, we planned everything accordingly. Fortunately, he happened to be right this time," Caen said smiling.
