I'll beat him first.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura in Varian's body raged like a flooding river and a dazzling light filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian punched out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a simple and straightforward punch without any fancy technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with each passing moment, it got stronger and stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Telekinetic power boosted his punch. Lightning covered his fist. Space formed a protective layer. Not only that, for the first time, a layer of ice was also formed over space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles' eyes widened in mid-air as he witnessed a scene that might as well be impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans didn't decode the divine paths. But it's common sense that the most paths one could awaken were three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghhh!\" A terrible headache hit his head and Charles felt like someone was piercing his brain with thin but sharp needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Just how many powers does he have?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles gritted his teeth and suppressed the pain. But it wasn't very easy. As a result, veins popped up on the wolf's forehead and its eyes bulged as if they were about to fall out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its momentum slightly faltered, but it slapped down its paw with all its might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's punch stacked with five different powers reached the giant paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world went silent before a huge shockwave lashed outward. Even under the shockwaves that could instantly kill level 6s, the stage remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a spec of dust rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip! Drop! Drip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant white wolf staggered back, dragging its bloody paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some parts of the paw had the bones broken, other parts were electrocuted and a few were frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles knew without any check that his paw received a significant injury. But what surprised him most was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You fucker!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian, who was five hundred meters away, reached him in the blink of an eye and punched down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same chilling punch filled with five different powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lykos bared its teeth and opened its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'You're the one who took my family.' Thick killing intent filled the air as Charles' heart thrashed against his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bits of his aunt and brother played in the back of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, however, had only one thing in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whooosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sound of air being cut, Varian's fist magnified in Charles' vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right when it was about to connect to his forehead, the giant wolf opened its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roaa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its sharp teeth, it bit down at the hand with a force that could crush steel to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Booom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of metal clashing against metal reverberated across the throne hall and the next thing Charles knew, he was coughing blood as enormous pain spread from his lower jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfoo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling something solid in his mouth, he spat it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It…It was three teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles' mind spun as reality finally set in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-How?\" The giant wolf muttered in human tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in question was standing a few hundred meters away. He stood like a javelin—straight and prideful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his right arm, there was a large cut with a chunk of flesh missing. Blood was gushing out like there was no tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for that one injury, he was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even that injury started to heal as Varian's right arm turned into a branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?!\" Charles' eyes widened as he witnessed the seventh power displayed by Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…what the fuck is this?\" Charles was feeling this for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was completely and utterly overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since childhood, Charles encountered many people stronger than him. Level 8s and even level 9s. Moreover, the strongest man was his father himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the power gap, Charles never had this feeling in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'm weaker than them now, but sooner or later, I'll catch up and surpass them.' He believed this with all his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his talent skyrocketed, this belief was entrenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the fuck is this, eh?\" Varian's eyes shone with a cold light as he approached the wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't fly and didn't even run. He simply walked in strides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Charles felt an even larger pressure from that action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of opponent would do that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the ones who were….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, Charles,\" Varian stretched his palm and a white spear appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he came in contact with it, the white spear burst into an orange and flickered in several colors forming a special blend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles felt his heart palpitate as he watched the man decrease their distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't want to kill you now, but you really had to bug me.\" Varian's eyes locked onto the white wolf, like a predator sizing its prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles' found himself shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two exchanges were more than enough to prove who's stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was significantly stronger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can't win him like this…' Charles' mind spun as he contemplated using that potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I regret to say this, but I'll have to kill you as soon as possible.\" Varian's arm shook and the next second, a golden light flashed in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it turned orange. Blue. And indigo before reaching Charles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't win!\" Charles roared and side-stepped, narrowly dodging the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian raised his hand and moved it to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning mana attached to the spear acted on it and changed its direction abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles tried to dodge again, but he wasn't fast enough against a spear boosted by almost three mid level 7 and two low level 7 powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear pierced through his lower abdomen and purple blood splashed on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf groaned in pain and anger as it glared at Varian with spiteful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn't spare it a thought and retrieved ten more spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…The fuck!' Charles' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets and he pushed his legs onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the spears shot toward him at high speeds, Charles pushed himself to the dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Showing the great senses it possessed, Lykos, or rather, Charles, dodged the spears one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closest any spear got was grazing his fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's face darkened and he kicked his ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached Charles in the blink of an eye and was about to punch him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woof!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of engaging in direct combat, Charles backed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even fight, but just continued dodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Varian attacked, he'd find the perfect opportunity to evade and route to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even try to meet him head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"..Are you even the same Charles Xander I saw in the solar banquet? You fucking coward!\" Varian cursed in irritation as Charles continued to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles flinched at Varian's words. They were right on the mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he gave himself many reasons, Charles wasn't the same after the solar banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It fundamentally changed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, it removed the 'certainty' in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he didn't say it out loud, he wasn't certain that he'd be the one to lead humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't certain whether he'd be the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't certain if he was the greatest genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, insecurities crept into his mind and caused increased hatred toward Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're at fault,\" Charles growled as he suddenly spun in mid-air and lashed his tail at Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you,\" Varian smirked and chuckled. \"You fell for a provocation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tail stopped just before him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1313,"2026-06-06T07:58:26.198Z",1,"novelbin.me","50a4ee0499cdb9a27bef0103a4c55eecc040d4a188d9b03b9615addc0a98715a","divine-path-system-chapter-632","divine-path-system-chapter-630",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
