From the twenty-first to the thirty-fifth mile, it was the mid-level 7s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian won all the low-level 7s, so he knew that winning mid-level 7s in a normal way was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Abyss Prince's mask.\" Varian took out a bizarre mask from his storage ring. When he killed the abyss prince outside the cluster cities, he also took away his storage device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The abyss prince was able to change himself into a human and stay undetected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though great treasures for disguise existed, they couldn't change one into another species. But this abyss prince had such a mind-boggling treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it can turn an abyssal into a human, then…\" Varian put on the mask and his form changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His height changed by two feet and his skin turned ashen. His eyes turned green and his aura changed subtly. He no longer gave a human feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wonderful!\" Varian exclaimed as he examined himself using his mental sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disguise was perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he encountered anyone here, they'd think he was an abyssal without a doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I don't need to be an abyssal here…\" Varian squinted his eyes and carefully moved back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than entering the twenty-first mile, he moved back to the twentieth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't get what he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nineteenth mile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They aren't here either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eighteenth mile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aha!

Space Body had a huge affinity with space, so, he didn't get injuries that he'd have gotten otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the water pillar arrived. It did hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hit him with such pressure that even the toughest steel would've long been broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Varian stood firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His defense was reinforced by the three powers he already displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Space Body, his body instinctively formed a special space layer originating from his body itself and formed an armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His superhuman body also formed an instinctive defense by aligning the cells and chi as a defensive barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, golden sparks appeared around his shoulders and fingertips before his entire body turned golden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water pillar's strong attack was diluted by the first defense—space, then it was slowed down further by his natural body defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the attack of the water pillar dropped a low level. Even then, directly taking it could mean a small injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's body turned into lightning and the water passed through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mermen were astonished. They could feel neither of his individual paths was stronger than theirs but somehow, the combination of them gave him great leverage. It was a situation where the whole was greater than its parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zaap! Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space around the psychic merman cracked and lightning reached him in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The psychic merman tried his best to control Varian's mind to diver the attack, and due to the difference in their psychic power, he succeeded in normalizing the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was a bit late in lightning and it burnt him like coke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two mermen were taken aback and wanted to retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian froze the space around the space merman, which the latter easily broke. But a lightning snake reached him by then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water merman wouldn't let it happen. So, he created an ice dragon and sent it to block off the lightning snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space around the space merman tightened again. He broke it and was about to teleport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian kicked the lake and shot towards the space merman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking the sound barrier, he reached him in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the space and water mermen were surprised at his move and they both attacked him simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian raised his fist and it looked like he was about to try punching the space merman that was about to teleport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kree~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space merman and water merman seemed to mock him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he swung his fist, he disappeared and appeared right above the water merman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kree?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Punch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fist was covered by lightning and it punched the water merman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water merman converted his body to 'water' at the last moment. Usually, elementalization would've helped, but Varian was prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaa! Zap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space around the water cracked apart, and lightning wreaked havoc, forcibly breaking the elementalized state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water merman was forced to turn back to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, its head was burst by Varian's fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian turned to the final merman and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds later, Varian looked at three mermen corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had its head blown off, the other was burnt, and the final had a huge cavity in its chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian picked the mask and tried to imitate the merman form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mermen only had a human face. Their shoulders were curved compared to humans, and their backs were always bent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue scales that began from their shoulders stretched all the way to their fingertips. Instead of fingers, they had claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their lower body was covered by darker blue scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh shit.\" Varian checked his form and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was covering himself in a lightning barrier, so he wasn't afraid of people seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly but steadily worked on the disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curved shoulders, the shiny blue scales, the claws, and finally, a 'feeling' that mermen only gave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nearly thirty minutes, Varian was done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, time for round two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kicking the lake, he passed the twentieth mile and reached his first mid-level 7 opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian roared.\u003C\u002Fp>",1041,"2026-06-06T07:58:24.533Z",1,"novelbin.me","77d427d5191363e2553052fa2afbb70fb910b58efeddd3374d68f125d922f426","divine-path-system-chapter-565","divine-path-system-chapter-563",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
