Still reading the book... Abbadon is pissed off that his seven spirits lost track of the kids and their army and says this...
“The fact is that it is simply not possible for them to disappear with over three hundred people in mid air. We are controlling the air! Only we have the flying saucers! There are no other aliens from other planets horsing around in the air. People believe the nonsense that the aliens come from other planets. Let them believe it! We are the aliens! We are the rulers and the principalities of the air and we know what happens in the air. The fact remains that these three hundred people are not flying somewhere through the air!”
They haven't even mentioned aliens up to this point, or anything like that and all, and he also refers to the protagonists as
earthlings for some reason. I have no idea what the forget is going on, but stuff like this happens all the loving time in this book.
