The stalk of every flower plant here at least reached the height of her waist. Each flower itself was as big as her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were beautiful but dangerous butterflies flapping their wings, bees buzzing as they collected the precious nectar and a lot more little lifeforms going on with their lives, uninterrupted and unbothered by the presence of an outsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time she came here was more than 600 years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a lot more mischievious back then. Way more wilful. A little too lost in her own world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I got swallowed by this flower…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman stopped in front of a large flower, whose beautiful pink petals rivalled an adult man's proportions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small smile appeared on her face before it was replaced by a deep mark of sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You told me we'd come here again. Liar. Liar! You big liar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After throwing a fit, the lady feared by the brightest geniuses of Jai calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like ice melting under the sunlight, her anger, frustration and sadness all disappeared as the practiced smile etched itself on her face again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge aura spike occurred in a particular region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That's where that bastard went!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Calamity wanted to slap herself. She was supposed to keep an eye on him. But due to a fond memory, she didn't focus for a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green light shone from her and bit by bit, her body began to disappear, like a painting that was slowly wiped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, she appeared outside X4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned at a disheveled figure who rolled on the ground and coughed out blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Zara Woz? Why is she even here?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in question hastily checked a spinning disc in her hand and sighed in relief after noticing it was intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as if fate decided to play with her heartstrings, the disc cracked right away before disintegrating into powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M-My precious…\" Zara Woz's lips trembled and she muttered repeatedly like a mindless zombie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she gnashed her teeth and looked in a certain direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she had fallen for his trick, out of pure habit from her career, Zara locked onto the man's life essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he seemed to have somehow decreased his presence to the minimum, she was still able to get a rough estimate of his location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You son of a bitch! Even if it's the last thing I'll do, I'll make you pay!\" Like a shrew outraged, the woman flew off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Zara who would need a little more time, Miss Calamity needed just a few seconds to find Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Not here, not there, hm, very close now…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just when she was about to discover him, a huge alarm bell went off and the emergency warnings began to sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Emergency Alert! Red Emergency Alert!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The beasts in Z1 facility have broken through.

The power of the attack must've been very intense, because that grotesque face wasn't recovering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Zara?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his wives, Varian had extremely high standards. So, even though Zara could seduce Prince Robert, she was just another plain face in his radar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their previous encounter, he actually hated that face. But Varian desperately wished that she had that face back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This half-burnt, half-flesh face was really…ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghhh!\" The woman opened her mouth and roared. Only zombies would find it attracting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck! I need to clean my eyes with acid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's space power swept the place and he teleported. The consequences of using that power here was very high but he didn't have much of a choice now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed to the X1 facility using his space powers, but he tried to hide his traces as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only issue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zara was chasing him like a mad dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was able to lock onto him using her higher rank and quickly closed the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Varian was six facilities away, she reached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spear materialized in her hand and leaving behind a trail of blue starlight, Zara pierced the spear right through Varian's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Or that's how it seemed before 'Varian' in front of her turned into a puddle of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Behind you, mam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zara's spear swept back the moment the first syllabel sounded. She was fast and would have struct even a peak rank 7 with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing Varian who slowed the flow of time itself, she could only force herself to put a barrier in the last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier was barely up when his merciless fist dug hit her back. Zara crashed into the ground, her spine broken and blood spluttering out of the cavity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike the attack caused by the security system, this wound was already closing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>sounded like a simple path. A path towards the perfect body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it's a path that gave balanced strengths in all fields. It could fight equally against all the paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why, even though he used multiple paths, sneak attacked, a large hole still formed on Varian's chest, the edges of the wound shining in blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful aura of Zara infiltrated Varian's body, trying to destroy him from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's the power of a rank 8 awakener. Even if he fused his paths, it's hard to overcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of trying to get rid of it, Varian used it to break the bottleneck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Adept Rank 6 —> Paragon Body Rank 7]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Assimilator Rank 6 —> Death Giant Rank 7]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant light shone from Varian's body, signalling his ascension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You!\" Zara who picked herself back up gawked in confusion and horror. \"You were a rank 6 this whole time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Paragon Body Rank 7: 0\u002F10,000\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which has the power of or who controls the power of life, a is formed by the perfect mix of the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your body is built of excellent life essence.

The borders of a rank 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he could find and check out his strength, Varian didn't want to waste any time in that and teleported away before Zara could pull herself together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Wait! Who are you? Is that all an illusion? What the hell is happening?\" Her screams echoed for hundreds of miles, scaring away beasts and people alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not giving up even though the situation grew increasingly terrifying, Zara ran after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian would've liked here to just disappear but that woman wasn't easy to take down, even though she got a significant injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he reached the X1 compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no one around, as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But interestingly, there were a few security mechanisms that were activated.
