What happened?!\" Boo rushed in front of him and asked in anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian opened his mouth but couldn't find any words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except \"I'm fine,\" nothing came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were unconscious for five minutes. No abnormalities detected. Your brain was under high stress, however.\" Boo reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian slowly stood up and glanced outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart ached as he muttered her name. \"Sia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each dream, his memories of her increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her laughter, her triumph, her tempers, her tears—an entirely different memory seemed to be created. No. It felt like the memories were returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could distinctly and vividly recall holding her in his arms. Her body started to quickly turn cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could remember warmth of her when she hugged him. The wetness of her tears as she cried in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo,\" His voice shook. \"Search for a girl named Sia. Filters are she must be related to me. She is a mind awakener.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already done this after returning to earth. The results were—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None, sir. There is no record of a girl named Sia having any relationship with you across the metanet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian took a deep breath. \"Hack the database of Imperial Defense Academy. Search for the cadet named Sia in the past 5 years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo nodded and the spaceship fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian prayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know why, but he wanted to see her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Save Sia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What danger was she in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian grew nervous realizing he missed a year in trying to save her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted revenge for his mother, but at the same time, he realized he couldn't give up searching for Sia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, even if it was not his mother's last wish, he'd still search for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo continued to announce the results of the hacking process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Academy's firewall breached.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First firewall of cadet database is breached.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second firewall of cadet database is breached.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian clenched his fist in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Hacking failed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Varian turned to Boo in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't Boo an advanced AI? How could it fail?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo manifested in front of him. It glanced down in shame and said. \"There are three Level 9 Technocrats guarding the database. If I was at my peak, I could bypass them. But now, my limit is two. I'm terribly sorry, master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the back of his mind, he somehow knew this. But facing the reality was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slumped onto the couch and cursed the Technocrats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mind Path (L1-3) —> Telepath (L4-6) —> Technocrat (L7-9).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technocrats were pretty much living AIs. They could operate weapons from another continent, protect databases and of course, hack them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo, can a technocrat hack you?\" He asked in worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he thought using Boo, he could hack any database he wanted. Now, it seemed like he needed to be cautious as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo shook its head. \"My defenses are much better. Not even a Sovereign Technocrat can hack me, not to mention there is none. But my offensive capabilities are not up to the mark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian glanced at the depressed ghost and patted its head. \"It's alright. If I can't hack my way in, I can go through the front door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front door was asking for Sia's information through merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian showed his comm and asked. \"Can you hack the merit points?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo nodded, then shook its head. \"I can hack this, but there is a server in sync. There is also four separate technocrats overseeing the merit points. Any outside changes would be known.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great.\" Varian sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, his rage calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he still wanted to end Xanders. But that was not the only thing he'd be driven by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also had to find Sia. Their relationship. The problems with his memory, which at this point, he was convinced a high awakener manipulated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he would take it slow. He needed to return to the academy first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo, let's return to the acad—.\" He paused. \"Let's see what's the Astor's meeting was about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghostship dived down at a high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's eyes widened as he saw mushrooms of dust and fire rising into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once lush fields were destroyed. The ground was filled with potholes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hills were levelled. Lakes were evaporated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was blasted and the shockwaves destroyed everything within dozens of miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from high above, Varian's palms sweated. \"Who the fuck is fighting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghostship penetrated Astor Clan's defensive barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge hologram was projected depicting a few hundred miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian saw the intense battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the ending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman in black floated high in the air. Her sword was stained with red and green blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black mask covered her face except her eyes and hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair and eyes were both a beautiful blend of three colors. Yellow. Red. Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a war goddess, she looked down at the corpses of both humans and Abyssals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian held his breath and saw her raising her sword once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last being surviving other than her, a female Abyssal kneeled below her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Boo's help, he was able to hear her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You came despite knowing this meeting was a trap. And killed thirty Level 8s.\" The female Abyssal spoke as she coughed out the green blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian saw the entire heart area of the female Abyssal was hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart was gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she was still able to talk, although by the looks of it, she was at her end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enigma, you're the only human I admire. But you cannot win our Emperor. His strength is beyond your imagination.\" Her voice was weak, but her conviction was anything but weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though I don't know how you managed to crack our hideouts, that's only a small part of our plans. Join us and be his concubine. This race is doomed from the start.\" The female Abyssal collapsed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was going to die, yet her eyes stared at Enigma for answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma sighed and glanced at the human corpses. Her eyes were still indifferent, but one could tell she was lamenting killing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humans are indeed doomed.\" Enigma's voice was cold. \"Not because they are inferior to Abyssals, but because these trashes are in power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female Abyssal's eyes glowed. Did she succeed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma's sword glowed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female Abyssal didn't care as the sword light started to slice her apart and asked. \"Are you joining us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With your talent, you can have freedom, happiness. Anything you want!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma's sword slashed her into pieces and she muttered something in an incredibly low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"-nner\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo, amplify.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice sounded clearly this time. \"I deserve none of those.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian couldn't comprehend her words, like her actions. He could only watch a light flash as Enigma vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, go back to acad—Wait!\" Varian raised his hand suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boo rolled its eyes. \"Master, what is it again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian pointed to an edge of the hologram. A girl around the age of 20 walked out of a building on fire. Following her was a middle aged woman in maid dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl snapped and a private space shuttle appeared in front of them. They boarded it and took off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sarah. What is she doing here?\" Varian wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like, stalk her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...no, we are collecting intelligence.\" Varian rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hai~\" Boo kneeled at his answer and the ghostship tailed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah's space shuttle had stealth feature. But of course, nothing like ghostship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they reached the barrier, Varian saw a blue light flash from the ship and the barrier in front of them break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow.\" Varian admired the captain's capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes passed, and the crossed clusters before finally reaching Pearl City— Varian's city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She's not a native. But wait, why did she not reply to my message?' He wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah's space shuttle descended in a cemetery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She's mourning for the loss of her family members?' He thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah got down from the shuttle while the maid followed. She reached a tomb and put a flower bouquet with a complicated face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn. Those flowers are all precious.\" Varian felt strangely envious of the dead guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was pretty sure if he died, Kyle would give him a few dried leaves as mourning flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being alive was way, way better than being dead and receiving the most precious mourning flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he was kinda curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though this cemetery was costly, for someone of Sarah's status, this was beneath her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And more importantly, this was not a military cemetery. That meant the dead person was not her family member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo, zoom in on the tomb. Let's see who's the lucky dead guy who is making the captain cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah was indeed crying as she showed a storage to the tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's eyes widened and his jaw dropped open as he saw name on the tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat madman. Caring friend. A great human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were alright. But the last line—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Died single. Still a virgin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"KYLE!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1545,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","406a831ed8a89dd219d497cf5070cec9fc3957f16fccd0e9370d5c6dab803324","divine-path-system-chapter-115","divine-path-system-chapter-114",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
