But with the same instinct, he also knew that it wouldn’t be enough to save his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attack looked simple but it was highly loaded with the power of chaos, death and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos to dissolve his order shield while soul would weaken him greatly as death finished him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, Rakz thought he died. But seeing the illuminating barriers around him, he realized he’d been saved by the precious treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard!\" Rakz noticed Varian’s clone running away and chased after it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t have such confidence after seeing that incredible attack. But after realizing that he’s overflowing with so many offensive and defensive treasures, he genuinely believed he could kill Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophion frowned but remained within the protective formation. He even wondered if it’s actually Varian or was it Hades in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I have to be more careful.’ Instead of coming out, he pulled out a few more defensive treasures and enforced the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades aura grew agitated for a moment but didn’t chase after the clone that rushed out of the Silver city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn’t waste a moment and rushed to the information crystal. With a bang, the barrier shattered and the slip was at his finger tips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire palace stilled for a moment before powerful defensive formations activated and a powerful space array lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information crystal vanished an inch away from his fingers and an overwhelming pressure befell Varian, crushing him to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ophion paled and he pulled out a formation key. The formations within the treasury activated and he vanished, just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades was still in the throne hall, but his aura was quickly stabilizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impressive stealth, but once you made a move in my palace, you can’t escape my watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades’ voice was like chalks scratching against board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more defensive formations were being activated, putting great pressure on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian wanted to teleport right away but space was blocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(The throne gave him full authority over the palace!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Varian, hurry up!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slivers cooperated and Varian was trying his best to break out. But it’s not working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(A weakness! The space blockade is enforced by thousands of space beast cores locked inside a painting outside the treasury! Destroy it and the space will loosen!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian called his clone back but Hades also activated a blockade around the Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these formations were destroyed by Hades themselves. Yet, they could still delay even a mid rank 2s from getting in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone was barely a mid rank 2. It can’t come in quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn it!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian condensed the power of chaos and prepared to send it out. Despite all the blockades, it could reach the painting in two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(He’ll be here in one second!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Varian.\" Hades’ aura stabilized. \"Meet your death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful life force struck the painting, ripping it to shreds. The space inside was revealed. Thousands of space beast cores were forced into a formation, their power extracted to run this space blockade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The life force destroyed them in an instant and the space blockade loosened all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was surprised by the turn of events. So was Hades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Asherah!\" He erupted into fury and the whole palace trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pale faced, Asherah prepared herself for death as she yelled at the shocked Varian. \"Hurry! Take care of Genesis!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think she’d risk her life for him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn’t delay opened a space crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you’re not leaving.\" Hades activated the formations all over the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian couldn’t break them quickly. But using his chaos powers to find a find a way out was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, most of them were already damaged, else even a high rank 2 would’ve been locked up like a caged animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian vanished and a powerful space force also enveloped Asherah. He sent her in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was supposed to cross a quarter of the galaxy but only reached the outskirts of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades appeared almost the next moment and Varian was already halfway into the space crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you not want this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crystal appeared in the hands of the Undead King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian stiffened but didn’t even pause for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after he vanished, a powerful death curse drowned the area he was standing at, enough to kill a hundred mid rank 2s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I locked you! You can’t escape!\" Hades’ eyes burned with green flames as he used the power of the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palace vanished and took its master with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian appeared at the entrance of Nexus, panting heavily as the scent of death lingered on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only brushed against the power, yet he was already feeling weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You let him mark you.] Logos said. [This is dangerous. I’ll remove the mark.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No. Let him follow. I need the crystal.’ Varian teleported again. He knew he had no chance against a high rank 2 in his state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A direct fight was just suicidal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed the crystal. And Hades needed to kill him. Both had their needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Hades actually knew he needed it to save Aurora and that he’d do anything to save her, things would’ve been very, very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Hades had to do was sit in the palace and wait for Varian to take the crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Varian would risk it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Hades didn’t know. This information asymmetry gave him a huge advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It allowed him to choose his own venue of fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A place which boosts me and suppresses Hades.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only three options to choose from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hortus was the most natural. But it’s too weak to suppress a high rank 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spiral would boost him, the owner, but wouldn’t suppress Hades much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Nirvana’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian appeared in the forbidden region of life and death. As its master, he quickly boosted himself to the highest while turning on suppression for Undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Emperor’s Palace appeared just seconds later. Varian quickly used the power of the region and imposed his will on the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The region couldn’t attack or destroy, but it could disable the formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades hesitated for a moment, realizing this was Varian’s turf. There was as a second thought in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe I should search for some treasures in the treasury which can remove this suppression?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian quietly took out the slivers of life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You! They gave you the slivers?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All rationality in Hades vanished and like a mad beast, he rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1117,"2026-06-06T07:59:03.344Z",1,"novelbin.me","0ad0134a686fb87602bd68019f3ed2060bbe5949ca3856e802ab373187824b5f","divine-path-system-chapter-1731","divine-path-system-chapter-1729",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
