One wrong step and they would be killed without any resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaths were held, fists were clenched, prayers were sent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Abyssal in their home stared at the light screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A six meter golden figure floated in the air and looked down at Reka city. A golden light trailed off from his finger and shot at the Fairy Emperor..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light wrapped around him and disappeared with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abyss Emperor walked towards the golden figure. His red robes were torn, his arm flung and his shoulder continued to bleed, dropping the imperial crystal green blood on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he inched closer, Abyss Emperor felt something and glanced in a certain direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The injured boy, the rescuing soldiers and the surrounding hundred mile area were reduced to a desolate land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Perpetrator was, of course, the light beam emitted by the golden beast in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without knowing it, Abyss Emperor clenched his fist and looked up at the golden person floating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to curse. Ask why the Fairy Emperor was rescued. Question why the boy was killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't. It was all useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he took a deep breath and said \"Greetings, Envoy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abyss Emperor stood alone in the desolate region. It used to be a district housing at least two million Abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was all gone. And took away some of the brightest Abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered one of his late friend's home was in this district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I promised to protect his parents and children… but.' Abyss Emperor looked at the indifferent expression on the envoy as rage boiled in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If and only if he wasn't the Emperor, he'd train with everything he had and kill the envoy. And his race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... he couldn't leave everyone behind. Without him, no Abyssal would be left to survive under these hounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Emperor of Abyss.\" The golden man, no; the Zion — the race that called themselves as the darlings of paradise, spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an awkward silence and finally, the Zion envoy looked down at the capital city with an amusing gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least 1% of the entire capital was destroyed. That was a lot of land and lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generational wealth and generations of lives were lost in a snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairy Emperor managed to sneak past the barrier this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time in the past, he'd be detected when he encroached on the borders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he'd be repelled by the Abyss Emperor—the only person who could fight off Fairy Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, some damage was still inevitable. A few streets would be destroyed, and a couple of tens of thousands of lives would be lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nothing of this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damage this time equalled all the damage of his previous aggressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why he was able to successfully sneak in this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Abyssal had the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I swear I'll exterminate your race one day.' Abyss Emperor repeated his oath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zion envoy was unfazed by the tragic scene and declared cooly \"Do not provoke fights or Envoys would have to intervene. After all, Fairies are a peace-loving race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abyss Emperor took a deep breath and said \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts were twisted. He became the aggressor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairy Emperor became a fellow ruler who just wanted to 'promote harmony between the Abyssals and Fairies.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, every Abyssal knew the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zions were arch enemies of Abyssals since antiquity. They were usually of equal power and the struggle continued with no clear victor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the war 500 years ago damaged Abyssals severely and their overall power declined greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Zions rose in the past 500 years by kissing the ass of the seventh prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zion Emperor contributed even his main wife to the seventh prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today's Zions were, in every conceivable way, much stronger than the Abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing stopping them from slaughtering the Abyssals was the 'Jai protection.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The military merits from the suicide fightings in the war 500 years ago gave Abyssals a 'protection' period until the next Providence Trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant only civilizations of equal level could fight them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A higher civilization, such as Zions, could not exterminate Abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Zions didn't intend to slaughter Abyssals and risk breaking the 'law'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they raised a dog — Fairies and unleashed them upon Abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairies were originally far weaker than Abyssals. But with the assistance of their masters, the Zions, they were quickly catching up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even though they were still weaker than Abyssals, surpassing them was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even rumors if the Emperors didn't fight, Faries would win the Abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Zions were not doing this just for normal extermination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This build up of Fairies was for the preparations to the providence trial a few decades later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairies would challenge Abyssals in the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Abyssals win, they'd get the 'Jai protection' and would be shielded from higher civilizations like Zions. That'd mean a long period of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they lose, they'd lose the protection and, of course, the next thing would be extermination of the race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even the most common politician knew Fairies were definitely going to win. Abyssals were a declining hegemon. Fairies were a rising star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even if they're sure of victory, Zions want to humiliate us till the providence trial.' Abyss Emperor clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll take my leave. Me and my race are looking forward to your performance in the providence trial.\" The envoy disappeared with a flickering light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he did, his gaze landed on the palace in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abyss Emperor's heart tightened, and he ran to the palace with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No.' He prayed. 'Be safe.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard something cutting through flesh and rushed in the direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the grand lounge of the palace, two heads rolled on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not recognizing those faces, Abyss Emperor's heart calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman and the cutest girl standing safe, albeit with golden blood staining their dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heaved a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy!\" The little girl jumped into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abyss Emperor patted her back and looked at his wife. His only wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled at him with an expression that said 'I will take care of the dangers here.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, there were several assassin corpses strewn all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his daughter's embrace and his wife's support, Abyss Emperor's conviction was once again strengthen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the odds were against them, even if their entire race was facing an existential crisis, he'd lead them out of the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was their Emperor. Their Savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stroked his daughter's little head with blood stained arms and at the same time, pulled his wife into a hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll have peace one day. I promise.\" His promise wasn't just for them, but for the entire capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice reverberated across every house, the Abyssal shed tears and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>",1208,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.287Z",1,"novelbin.me","3096cd649b317b5a1e0ac2c2c54d757b3e2a8e94bf15fef83d844c11544311d2","divine-path-system-chapter-164","divine-path-system-chapter-127",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
