There's nobody to help and nothing to hold onto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flaying his hands around in a desperate attempt, he tried to make sense of the situation he was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark world spanned endlessly around him, pulling him deeper and faster with every passing second, like ultra quicksand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was trying to pull something from him. Something he shouldn't lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an instinctive struggle going on, one he wasn't able to feel but was subtly aware of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I…Zahara…fuck!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's consciousness rose back to the shore and his eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand, out of pure instinct, was grabbing grabbing Zahara's claw which dug into his chest and clenched his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that's all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the tremendous power of time pouring from her into his body with every passing moment, a sort of 'time bomb' was being planted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it exploded, his heart would be skipping not just a few seconds but possibly a minute or more into the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when that happened, it would also take away a big chunk of his vitality with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those sixty seconds, Varian would be extremely deprived of aura and low on vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite regenerative capabilities strong enough to regenerate from a drop of blood at normal times, in that weakened state, he'd be no better than an old tree waiting to be cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he could survive decapitation once or twice, he wouldn't survive his body being sliced to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zahara would be willing to do more than just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Varian didn't know he was misunderstading something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You woke up already? For an ant, you are intruiging.\" Zahara's echo didn't have the usual radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her golden skin had gone so pale that it appeared sickly white, the lively long hair was extremely dim, appearing like long dead vines stuck to her scalp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ant?\" Varian gritted his teeth and pushed her hand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zahara's echo staggered back before stabilizing quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are in such a bad state that you can't even kill me.\" He laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Zahara's turn to laugh. And she let out a very mocking and harsh chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was trying to drain your vitality to the brink and capture you. Or you'd have died a hundred times already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's expression darkened and he grasped his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were now even out of Pala kingdom and maybe even in the edge of the Genesis Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This particular region seemed to be a desolate one, given how there were a couple of blackholes nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we have a nice talk like civilized people? Yeah?\" Varian tilted his head and gave off a diplomatic smile. \"Why does the Princess wish to capture me? I don't remember making any move against her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zahara's echo clutched her stomach and let out a loud laugh. But instead of an organic one, it seemed like a deliberate response to his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Against her? You? Even non-sentient beasts have self-awareness of their hierarchy. Why are you this ignorant? Even if you want to go against Her Highness, what can you do? Go join the kingdom's army?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was because she got very damaged that even the Echo's ego was affected or perhaps for some other reason, Zahara was willing to talk more than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't presume you can talk your way out of this. The princess named you a prisoner and a prisoner you would be. No questions asked, no objections allowed. It's your destiny. Since you can't avoid it, embrace it. Maybe what awaits is a pleasant death instead of an endless hell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zahara's words maybe harsh but her tone was sincere. It seemed that she believed everything she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really now…\" Varian rubbed the back of his head and cracked his neck. \"Why do I get all the crazies? A stupid bitch that sends another stupid bitch to capture me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zahara's carefree expression vanished and her eyes burned with fury. \"Blasphemy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of her wrist, a powerful wave of time power dashed to Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely weakened she was, the fractional strength she had left was still enough to crush any rank 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With strength came confidence and Zahara had long considered this mission to be a success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know, Varian too was confident, for the same reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rank 7\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paragon Body : 9,999\u002F10,000 (+1499)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death Giant?: 9,999\u002F10,000 (+1499)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignis: 9,999\u002F10,000(+1999)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Order: 9,999\u002F10,000.

Even though he wasn't sure of breaking through right away, he's dangerously close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, once he reached rank 8, he would be accessing the strength of the kingdom's strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jump would be insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even with the strength of a peak rank 8, he wasn't even able to react to the fight between Miss Calamity and Zahara Onyx.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Not for long.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time wave reached him in a blink, wriggling with aura dense enough to choke a rank 6 celestial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, the space-time in front of him distorted like ripple on a still lake.
