His casual clothes were replaced by graceful whites. A white mask with golden edges covered his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his temperament undertook a drastic turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, a golden throne adorned with ancient runic drawings appeared behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat on the throne with crossed legs and supported his chin on his hand as it laid on the armrest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked lazy, mysterious yet equally dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo, is it done?\" He asked in a bone-chilling voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-Don't scare me like that!\" Boo stuttered. \"When you enter this role, I feel like…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feel like what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feel like being your true self,\" Boo said and asked a question that bothered it for a while now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, if you can strategize so well, why did you never do it before?\" Boo's curiosity was evident in its tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its master's performance in the Solar Trial blew away its mind. Was he really a genius? This battle maniac?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\" Varian's eyes narrowed as his face under the mask stiffened for a split second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was an unawakened a year ago. No matter what strategies I can plot, without sufficient strength to back them up, they're all futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the trial, if I didn't have the minimum strength, all my plans would be futile.\" He answered in a careless tone, but his eyes were deadly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder…except for being good at battle tactics, I always thought you were an idiot.\" Boo honestly confessed causing Varian to grip the armrest tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armrest creaked startling Boo. \"Master, calm down! We don't have too many good-looking chairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…contact Bali already.\" Varian facepalmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm doing it. His space shuttle's AI is more resilient. I don't want to destroy it, I just want to shut it down. I'll slow down the shuttle and shut it down temporarily. Give me a few minutes.\" Boo said and a huge blue screen popped up in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bali's space shuttle in the distance slowed considerably. As they weren't near any reference point, and his AI didn't prompt him, Bali didn't notice the strangeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he was going to talk to Bali, Varian asked the System a few more questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Isn't dual awakening a curse? It's a handicap if you have to take both paths to peak level 9 only to abandon one.' Varian said with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was equality of opportunity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The System might've remained silent normally, but today, it seemed to have extraordinary patience as it explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dual Awakeners need not get both their paths to peak level 9 to advance to Sovereign. They can ditch a path and take the route of a single path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But humans find this difficult to do. Your civilization is still too young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Dual Awakeners isn't a curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don't want to expend time on the second path, you can discard it early on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But geniuses of higher civilizations don't do that. They take it to the end of level 9 without wasting much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They'll forcibly upgrade this one path through treasures—but as a consequence, it gets harder and harder to advance in that path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, reaching Celestial Rank in that path becomes impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time, they'd have diligently progressed in the main path in which they can advance to Celestial Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This 'filled up' path will be discarded and the proper path will be used for Celestial Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Filling up' doesn't cost an awakener a lot of time, but it's relatively expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, true powerhouses actually diligently practice both paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do they not just discard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if you reach a very, very high level—the peak of Celestial Ranks, all the experience in this other avenue will be useful to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it's recommended you experience other avenues as well. What better way than to review your own second divine path?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…' Varian was blown away by the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was only humanity's problem. They were too young. Too weak. Too ignorant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Being a dual awakener human in our era sucks.' Varian maintained a minute of silence for all human Dual Awakeners. But maybe he could change it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[There is one more possibility for an awakener to be Celestial in two paths. Hybrid.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hybrid? Sia...?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This System was sealed away thousands of years ago. Even the latest information known by the system is very old. A few thousand years ago, hybrids were still a budding concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This System isn't omniscient. It has its blind spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But theoretically, hybrids have more than one Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hybrid with two origins can also awaken in two paths, but they're fundamentally different from Dual Awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they have two origins, they can bind an origin each to an avenue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This system doesn't know what stage the top civilizations have reached in hybrids at present.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's brows knit together as he thought hard about the implications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait…if Sia admittedly is a hybrid, then who are her parents?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can humans really give birth to hybrids?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaa~\" Varian sighed and shook those thoughts out of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, it didn't matter much if she was a hybrid or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he cared was finding her and making up to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn't bad if hybrids existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It'd be less fun if he encountered Celestial Rankers of only one path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system said long ago that he was beyond the hybrids. So, he wasn't worried about meeting a monster like himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But knowing the System wasn't omniscient was a relief. He'd surely be troubled if an all-knowing being was with him all day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So, there's a chance that I might find a way to make Dual Awakeners get to Celestial Rank with one origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must do it for myself anyway.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Only time will tell. But Divine Paths aren't fully explored yet.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian snapped out of his thoughts due to Boo's calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bali is online. Should I start?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian adjusted his posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back into the throne, adjusted special lighting, and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few thousand miles away, Bali was already feeling that something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to contact others when a hologram suddenly popped up in his space shuttle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in white clothes was leisurely seated on a golden throne. His eyes stared at the dual peak level 9 awakener.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bali, age 90. You believe you are destined to be stopped before the Sovereign state. I am Dreamer, and I like to screw with destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am here to give you a chance. A chance that can turn your beliefs upside down.
