It's like someone had a knife and cut the space from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like cutting loaves from bread. But with each loaf of significantly different thickness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, for every few meters, the stability of space fluctuated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia tapped the ground and stretched her hand towards one of the mountains in the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the gravity between her and the earth nullified and a new gravity between her and the mountain was established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Sia flew towards the mountain. Despite the force being the same, her speed fluctuated greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain was just one mile from Sia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first hundred meters, Sia's speed rapidly as the space around her was completely loose and accelerated her even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next three hundred meters, it was incredibly hard and slowed her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her speed rose, fell, rose, and fell before she finally reached the mountain top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she was on one of the many mountains enclosing an area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space until the mountains was fluctuating, but relatively stable. But the area enclosed by the mountains was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha! Kraack! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black lines appeared in empty air as the space cracked apart. Grayish substances leaked out of the space cracks and turned the existing space chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space cracks and chaotic space combined to blast the space. When space blasted, the cracks expanded rapidly before disappearing instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything in the vicinity of the blast was spliced and bombarded into splinters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place with most space blasts was naturally the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center was a black crystal. Its dimensions were comparable to a three-story house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like an ice crystal growing out in an arctic region, except it was pitch black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Space Jade…' Sia recalled the name of the item and narrowed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space Jade was an excellent item for improving one's space affinity. Not only that, it directly improved one's space body, thus enabling quick progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer you get to the space jade, the more space blasts you'd encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they try to take the whole thing away, even level 9s would be sliced to pieces by the space cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only acceptable solution was to break away a piece of the jade and take that piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one tried to be too greedy, they'd die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because once it sensed the loss of a part of itself, the space jade would fiercely retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How troublesome.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, unlike the other regions she visited, this place had no visitors. Even space awakeners who wanted to try their luck would only meditate in the periphery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for a strong level 8, reaching the Space Jade was dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia had the confidence in reaching the space jade and plucking a piece. But she wasn't so confident in returning unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It looks like I can only ask.' She sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original plan was to do it herself. But after what she'd been through, Sia accepted that sometimes she needed help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing her eyes, Sia dived deep inside her own being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A card lay in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Enigma!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infusing aura into the card, Sia thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silver light flashed in the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next thing Sia knew, Enigma was grabbing for the space jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia felt tired and her eyelids closed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went into a deep sleep and a memory flashed in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Dean, why did you call me?\" Sia in the defense's academy uniform stared at the scar-faced man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was respectful and polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After recognizing her talents, Evander had in fact helped her a lot. Be it resources, arranging good teachers, or information about new missions, he supported her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I want to see someone who can end the war.' He told her. 'Those abyssals…those bugs need to be butchered.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were several nerves popping up on his forehead when he said those words. That was how violent his rage was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she had complicated feelings about this, Sia gave her all into training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander even said he'd consider taking her as a disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly one day he called her. 'Don't inform anyone. It's about discipline-master matter.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message came from a slightly stiff Evander's voice on the comm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a red flag, but Sia didn't doubt him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finally reached his office, he greeted her and asked her to drink the tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know about Sarah's mother?\" He asked and even without her response, started narrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia sipped the tea out of politeness and watched Evander's eyes turn bloodshot with each passing second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned as an ominous premonition passed in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Why did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't feel any aura in her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Abyssals needed to be slaughtered! Abyssals are nonhumans. Nonhumans need to be slaughtered!\" Evander said in a robotic voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's face grew pale as she started to lose the sensation of her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she forcibly pushed herself up against the sofa and tried to stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?!\" She pointed at him and yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander's eyes were cold. He said again. \"You're useful to the advancement of humanity. A worthy sacrifice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What the?\" Sia didn't know what he was talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the hand she pointed at him dropped with the arm and Sia lost the sensation in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She collapsed on the sofa and glared at him. \"Sarah's father, is this your honor? Kidnapping a first-year cadet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought he was a righteous warrior who risked everything for justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nonhumans be damned!\" Evander said with bloodshot eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's eyes turned heavy, but using the last of her strength, she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why betray?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why such a despicable act?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander's bloodshot eyes stilled for a moment as if he was struggling. Then, he spat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Revenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing those words, Sia lost consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she didn't see the tears of blood dripping from Evander's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-06-06T07:58:26.198Z",1,"novelbin.me","2ca48ab30516b37214840bdbb6e14fd7dadd2e156b50d1b575847901c8b4d3d8","divine-path-system-chapter-606","divine-path-system-chapter-604",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
