Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punches from the world's strongest level 9 landed on the barrier without mercy. With each strike, the bright blue barrier dimmed a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer aftermath of the punches sent Charles flying all the way to the end of the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he clenched his fists, Evander created a small hurricane. Facing such a scene, even the toughest of men would despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his opponent didn't even spare him a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Si…Sia!\" Varian muttered like a broken record as he collapsed on his knees and stretched his hands towards Sia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand though…it refused to even approach her. Varian began to feel a strong repulsion from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fucking dammit!\" Varian hated his body more and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his telekinetic power could touch her, and using it, he carefully held Sia from falling down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held her with utmost care and looked at her with reddened eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was looking at him with a wry smile as blood dripped from the injuries on her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't die instantly because the mask took away a good piece of the attack. Yet, she'd face the consequence of taking a peak level 9 attack head-on despite being a level 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Why…\" Varian choked on his tears as he hurriedly turned his hands into branches and moved his leaves to heal her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander's aura was wreaking havoc inside her body. It was destroying her from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own aura couldn't withstand the onslaught and was suppressed. If Varian was at least a level 8 plantae awakener, he could've tried suppressing that hostile chi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as a level 7, his healing was unable to shake off Evander's hostile chi from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each passing second, her situation continued to worsen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No…this is a nightmare.\" Varian felt the fluctuations of her body and bit his lip. Her life was hanging by a thread. This might as well be a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You idiot…\" Varian closed his eyes as tears dripped down his face. \"W-Why did you…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia struggled and lifted her arm towards his face to wipe his tears but when she was about to touch him, his face flinched by itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's hand froze and fell powerlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wry smile on her bloodied face, she said. \"I…I moved without thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's heart ached as if someone was pricking it with a needle. He'd preferred it over this gut-wrenching pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-Don't cry…\" she requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's body shook from her words and he looked at her in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sia…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl of his dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one he grew up with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person he forgot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he looked into her golden eyes which seemed to have a million things to say, he wanted to tightly hug her and say they had an eternity for her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hang on! I'll never leave you behind! Never again! So...please, hang on!\" Varian urged her as he poured potions after potions on her injured body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sorry.\" Sia smiled wryly as she looked at him. It seemed like she was apologizing for making him worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I was really afraid to see you...\" She said in a tired voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The potions continued to seep into her but her vitality continued to weaken. Nothing seemed to be working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. No…NO!\" Varian scrambled in the little barrier space as he wrecked his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her injury itself wasn't the big problem. It could be healed through his plantae form and potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the destructive chi inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...It really hurt, seeing you forget me. I...I withstood Roxanna's torture but I can't bear you forgetting me.\" Sia's golden eyes started to tear up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...please stay alive...you can punish me for making you cry, okay?\" Varian pleaded in a desperate tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...I really wish I can...\" Sia tried to smile but her face grimaced as her skin cracked and blood started to pour out. Her beautiful face was now painted red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghhh!\" Varian flinched like he was facing the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To solve peak level 9 Chi…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's mental sense locked onto th man outside the barrier for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander's eyes were filled with complete indifference. His face was stoic to the point he resembled a machine than a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian had a gist of what was going on and yelled. \"Stop it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander replied with two dangerous punches and the barrier dimmed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master! Snap out of it! We need your help!\" He requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please! Save her! She's on her last breath!\" He pleaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You son of a bitch! You think you can face Sarah again?\" He snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boooom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander's punch slowed down and his face showed a trace of confusion before he resumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian spotted the change and his heart grew hopeful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sarah will hate you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boooom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander's punch weakened. Now, he was barely using the strength of a peak level 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sia is Sarah's best friend.\" Varian's eyes were locked with Sia's but he kept speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Booom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander's breathing turned haggard. His punch strength was barely at level 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he didn't stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier was now almost transparent and would disappear at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gritted his teeth and turned to Sia. \"Say 'I quit'. Let's get out of here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia shook her head softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander would do the same once they did it and with his higher reaction speed, Varian wouldn't even be able to use ghost ship before they end up being killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the only way…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's gaze altered between Varian's tearful face and Evander's confused face. Her heart stirred with emotions and she opened her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M-Master…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's eyes widened and Evander's body stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His punch blasted the air and shot towards Varian. The blue barrier disappeared and his fist reached Varian's face in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's weak voice, filled with pain and hope sounded like a plea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-Don't betray him…like how you betrayed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist, inches away from his face stopped abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian opened his eyes wide as Evander collapsed onto the ground, clutching his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears of blood started to leak out of his eyes as the high general of Earth gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M-Master…\" Varian looked at him and then at Sia, unsure of what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, he was worried about Evander. But mostly, he was afraid that he'd lose Sia since Evander wasn't in the right state to help her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I-We need to get out of here first.' Varian gritted his teeth. Outside, he could ask Sovereign Irene for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it's her…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, say 'I quit!'\" Varian shouted anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghhh!\" Evander clutched his head as he cried. \"S-Sorry…Sia…I…I…I'm disgusted by myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...I am asham...Sarah...doesn't know...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-Don't hate...her...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander wasn't in a position to respond. The fact that he managed to break the control over his mind itself was shocking. The only reason he was able to do so was he felt a strong regret about his actions. Regret that was strong enough to resist his 'natural actions'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian swiftly turned to Sia. \"I'll look for him later. Let's go now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia shook her head softly. \"If something happens to him…Sarah will hate you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you crazy?\" Varian roared in rage, his eyes shaking violently. \"You're on the verge of death! Dammit! I'll save you first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia shut her lips tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was stubborn. As stubborn as him. He'd have appreciated it any time, but now, Varian was almost on the verge of exploding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck!\" Varian shouted his lungs out. \"When is the ghost ship ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just a few more seconds, Scion! Almost there!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian wrapped his telekinetic power around Sia and Evander before he stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sia...we need to have a good talk after you're fine,\" Varian said in a light tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia flinched. \"I...you're scaring me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian smiled for the first time. \"If you're really scared, you won't act this stubborn, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Sia glared at him and he glared back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the two smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's...really like a dream.\" Sia sighed. \"Seeing you talk to me like this...It's been so long. I really don't know anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want it to be a bad dream, so make sure to stay alive, okay?\" Varian's telekinetic hand gently patted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Stay alive, is that what you really say to a dying patient? Like, how do I even do that?\" Sia said with an exasperated tone, even though she had trouble speaking, she seemed to be enjoying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well,\" Varian rubbed his chin at her words. \"What else can I say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Promise me something?\" Sia's eyes glinted with a mischievous light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's heart both warmed and stung at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though none of them said it out loud, they could feel the pain in each other's eyes. That's why this small talk filled them with so much joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if they returned to the days when their biggest problems were the school homework and that day's lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll promise you anything,\" Varian said abruptly and Sia's eyes shone brighter. But he quickly remembered something and added. \"As long it's not anything weird.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Owww~\" Sia sighed like it was a pity and glared at him. \"So my plan of seeing you in Boo's get-up failed, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. Little girl, I'm not the one to fall for your tricks.\" Varian smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bully. Bully. Bully~\" Sia's lips curled into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air suddenly shook and Varian's eyebrows jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face had a smile all the time, but it was filled with tension. Only now did the tension ease as he laughed out loud. \"The ghost ship is ready. Let's g—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, however, a terrifying aura enveloped the prince's hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian used all his powers to form a protective layer around Sia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes that had been locked with Sia's since the beginning suddenly shook and conveyed what he wanted to say. 'Say it now!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia understood the severity of the situation and didn't oppose him anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, both Varian and Sia opened their mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I qu—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could finish, the sinister voice of Julius Xander rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All preys in one place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing on the stage, the strongest sovereign casually punched out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boooom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space blasted and the wind broke apart as death reached them in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>",1739,"2026-06-06T07:58:26.198Z",1,"novelbin.me","0db28aaa34d94087e1080021810ce060ad746f47c29b20deee740f410bcc7e24","divine-path-system-chapter-649","divine-path-system-chapter-647",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
