Never was he respected or appreciated. Undead didn’t really have the concept of honor and comraderie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever they did show emotions, it was to deal with the living. A mask on their skinless face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a fellow Undead, Yami treated him without any filters. And she never thought of giving him even a mini-sliver of death, despite it being very helpful for his ascension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his talent, Hades could’ve also reached high rank 2 long ago if he was bestowed the mini-sliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even requested it multiple times. In the end, he begged her for temporary usage. She still denied it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You are not qualified, slave. The sliver of death is wielded by the ruler of undead. You are no king.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky turned red, as it’s the bleeding Hades’ heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames in Hades’ eyes flared up, turning pitch black, as they stared at Varian with vengence bottled up for millions of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undead didn’t have emotions in the normal sense. But some ’sensations’ were still allowed. These are what allowed them to function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like their incessant desire to conver the living. Like bloodthirst. Like hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Why? Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The region of life was brimming with plants, animals and rivers. It’s a holy paradise for any living creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just breathing the air cleared the mind. Living here would ensure any species would live to its fullest lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any time of the year, there wouldn’t be a better picnic spot for nature lovers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this paradise was a living hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red aura emerged with Hades as the center, enveloping all of the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lush plants wilted, the lively animals whimpered and struggled before turning into skin and bones. The perennial rivers turned murky and even the sky had a scent of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did she give you the sliver?\" Hades’ aura reached its strongest ever. \"You’re not qualified!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a clench of his fist, he affected the flow of vitality in Varian’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s not enough.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing far in the air, Varian’s face paled as the red aura restricted his vitality. His hair turned white and his skin grew wrinkles in a blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t recovered enough to face a high rank 2. As of now, despite his multiple powers, he’s still a mid rank 2. Maybe a moderately strong mid rank 2, but still a mid rank 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the region suppression Hades’ power, this single attack would’ve killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with suppression, it wasn’t far off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Break it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian directed Samsara along with Logos and the corresponding divine paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos disrupted the smooth operation of death power while Varian’s own death power fought back against the invading death force. Meanwhile, his life force tried to cancel out Hades’ aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of Order restricted the hostile force and boosted the allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With space and time, he kept dodging the attacks that kept coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die! Die! Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, full blown attacks of a high rank 2 rained down on Varian. He wasn’t in a position to take one freely and survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He desperately hoped to grow stronger in battle to match Hades and win, like he usually did against stronger enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just not happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though there was improvement in his paths, he was too weakened to actually capitalize on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’All my strength isn’t enough. I need something else.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian tapped into his own origin and activated the synergy link.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sarah, there isn’t a lot of time. Follow the plan, do your part, leave the rest to me.’ He shared the knowledge of the advanced formations he studied in Heaven tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They’re too complicated. Even with synergy, I can’t even do 30%.’ Sarah replied a moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Do whatever you can. I need a prototype.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But the materials...can we trust Asherah to get them from the palace? After what she did to Aurora?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There is no other choice. The alternative is everyone turning into an Undead.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We’ll be quick. Hold on!’ She cut off the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoping his plan would work, Varian turned to the offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space-time fabric around Hades was torn apart, eating up an arm and limb. But he easily regenerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to plant space bombs inside Hades and blast him apart. But the death aura overpowered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian couldn’t use the power of life or death against Hades. It was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos and Order worked...somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades dodged a space-time explosion when a new crack appeared, eating away half of his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through it, the power of chaos and order drilled into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos wrecked everything while Order restricted Hades’ aura from fighting back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not qualified ruler of Undead!\" Hades yelled. \"I am! I will turn the whole of Eden into Undead. It’s my deepest wish and greatest ambition!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of chaos and order were forcibly expelled from his body. And using them as a link, he built a channel with Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sh*t’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian hurriedly cut off the link but a red snake, made of death, reached him before he teleported away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite half of its body cut off in the space crack, it gnawed onto his shoulder and injected the power of death into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian’s face paled greatly and his vision grew heavy. He kept teleporting as more snakes kept coming while he tried to destroy the attacking half-snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades, certain of victory, waited for Varian to drop dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After you die, I will take over the forbidden region of life and death. This is where the rule of Undead shall begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the imperfect living, Undead don’t rebel against the superiors, they follow all the rules set, and they have no discrimination, thus no internal wars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden will finally become the true paradise it’s always meant to be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gritted his teeth and clenched his fist around the snake, forcibly pulling it off. As he did, it dragged away a tenth of his whole vitality, making him dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a punch on the head using the power of space-time, the snake was blasted out of the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clenching his injured shoulder, Varian glared. \"You retard! Undead don’t reproduce. The ones that seem to do are using death essence, which only comes from the living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undead do not exist independently. They cannot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If living are gone, Undead will soon go extinct. All of Eden will be lifeless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades was shook for a moment before the flames in his eyes turned darker and burned brighter. \"No. With the slivers, I will find a way. So, just die already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He joined his hands towards the sky and a red vortex appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful suction force pulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t sucking aways the materials. It was sucking away the vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian kept teleporting, as he resisted the pull. But it was everywhere. Slowly but surely, he was growing weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no way. Undead are just tearing a piece of soul from each parent and fusing it to be a child. It’s not a child. It’s a mutated clone! Stop this nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades fell silent at the truth. Yes, Undead reproduction never created new souls, unlike the living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Varian’s words didn’t change his goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll keep all living enslaved. Use them for reproduction. While the Undead rule for eternity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As if I’d allow that!\" Varian narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can you do?\" Hades said, watching Varian’s figure that kept moving from one place to another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your injuries are heavy, your aura is weak, your vitality is dropping. You will soon fall. It is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Varian smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has just begun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1280,"2026-06-06T07:59:03.344Z",1,"novelbin.me","aa02e4fc8a555bf18632d8f408c6ca422b075769f67a08d0e07bc56a293be19a","divine-path-system-chapter-1732","divine-path-system-chapter-1730",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
