But due to Hortus' devouring, Varian was slightly ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could kill him in a few seconds, they'd win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he survived those few seconds, he'd be decisively stronger and there'd be no stoping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first second passed with Varian hanging on the edge of death, on the verge of exploding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Emperor was confident Varian would explode the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Architect too was expecting the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the way Varian was currently going, they'd win. It's only logical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that's what was about to happen when Varian suddenly changed course, throwing their meticulous plans into disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abandoning all focus from God Emperor, he decisively focused full forces on Architect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Architect had elevated himself to the strength of peak rank 3 with the boosts from the materialized laws of the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the universe being devoured, this boost was under jeopardy and had already been significantly weakened. He was just barely hanging on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian used Hortus' will to attack the Universe, shaking up its six laws, pushing it over the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materialized laws were shaken and dimmed. There was still some light in them, but they were not longer dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Architect's power dropped from peak rank 3 to high rank 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"NO!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian seized the moment and attacked the space laws that banished Hortus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ban shattered and Hortus appeared back in the universe. The quasi universe soared and its devouring rate exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Emperor face paled as he realized he could no longer banish this grown Hortus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could try one last time to kill Varian. This was the final chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Varian, die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Emperor burned his vitality, poured all his powers into this attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Varian confronted it head on, he'd suffer serious injuries and his strength would temporarily suffer, falling below even the weakened Architect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, God Emperor and Architect would repeat the cycle, weakening Varian at the cost of their own injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them would gradually drop in strength, gradually going from peak rank 3 to low rank 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, Varian wouldn't be able to manage Hortus and would lose even more strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's when they'd strike and kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For all of that to happen, this was the decisive attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Emperor prepared himself for the protracted battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Varian never intended to fight straightforwardly. In his words, it was 'dumb' to fight an enemy like that when the aim was to simply win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Respect your teacher.\" Varian used the power of harmony path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the powers of God Emperor were perfect, except for this. So, his three avenues were like a perfect machine except for this single flaw. And that sole gap became his leverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using harmony path, Varian wrecked God Emperor's Order and Chaos avenue, weakening him greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this weakened God Emperor could no longer exert the strength of a peak rank 3. His true strength was only at high rank 3 and he boosted himself with slivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with this move, Varian destabilised that boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest attack was easily resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Varian alone was at peak rank 3, facing the two enemies he weakened back to high rank 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh dear, how the tables have turned.\" He chuckled and raised his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Damn it all!\" Architect cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, you are doing the wrong thing! Peace is everything Peace is—arghhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sword of Soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The universe was divided into green and red. Architect's face paled as he watched the attack he used being used on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it's not the same. It's improved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judgement of Soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third line emerged between the red and green, representing the domain of soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The souls of God Emperor and Architect were blasted out of their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sword of Anti-Gravity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The universe's fabric of space-time repelled their souls, pushing them out of its bounds, into the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could not just keep them away. As long as this universe existed, they could return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, they returned in a moment. Their bodies were regenerated and they looked ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Varian did not foolishly give them the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sword of Harmony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pristine white and pitch black rivers emerged under Varian. Then they twisted and formed a sword. The middle of this sword glowed with a beautiful gray formed from the white and black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword struck both the God Emperor and Architect simultaneously, ignoring the concept of distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harmony between God Emperor and the slivers was cut off, greatly weakening him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword also struck the 'harmony' of the connection between Architect and the dying universe. He was weakened even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sword of Annihilation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the nine paths were fused into one and the whole universe cracked. At the same moment, Hortus fully expanded itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant light emerged from Varian, drowning the whole universe and even their senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Severely weakened, God Emperor and Architect burned their vitality, giving everything they had to block that strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They survived, somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the light vanished, they looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All they saw emptiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The attack was against the universe, not you.\" Varian chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole of universe was devoured by Hortus, leaving the three of them in the void!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no laws here, no aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interestingly, Varian could still keep fighting like before because he was fully powered by the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But God Emperor was severely weakened as he's outside. He's struggling to exert even the strength of a low rank 3 now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Architect looked better, but his power level also fell to mid rank 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The variable they used as a pawn, the variable they neglected, the variable that should have had no chance—the variable won!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian won!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Emperor looked at Varian blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any last words?\" Varian asked with a nonchalant gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Emperor sighed. \"I hope you treat the universe with kindness, unlike this bastard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian sighed a little and clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Emperor said no words as he vanished, as if he was erased out of existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick, the three slivers returned to Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Haaa~ Good morning—wait? What happened! Var?! Where are we?! Run, there is God Emperor!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Run already!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Um…where am I?}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar voices of Samsara and Logos greeted him, along with a new one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I won the battle. Rest for now. We'll talk later.' Varian said gently and the three slivers were fed information about what transpired after his defeat under the God Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Oh? Then I'll prepare Logos' maid uniform! Hehehehe! Oi, newcomer, say hi!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{H-Hi}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Just hi? Say Hi, master~ Show your feelings, newcomer!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{H-Hi master…}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaa~\" Varian muted them from speaking temporarily before turning to the trembling creator. \"Speak up, little bastard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1132,"2026-06-06T07:59:03.669Z",1,"novelbin.me","400a7c0e374ad872230bbd59e98928e5892143dee5665c005c195527458200f6","divine-path-system-chapter-1772","divine-path-system-chapter-1770",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
