Of course, he did! How could he not feel anything when he was nearly killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But. What could he do? Varian was able to crush him when he fought five more level 7s, if it's a one-on-one, Joshua knew it'd end in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Someone is watching me. If I make a wrong move, I'm dead.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian coughed lightly. \"I'll be honest. We need people like you in the military. So, don't resign or anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright. I hope we let bygones be bygones. If you stay in the military, you'll have to face me often since I'll be the Emperor sooner or later.\" Varian shrugged with a helpless expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua Xander regained consciousness a few minutes ago. He was adamant about keeping his mouth shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Varian spoke those words as if he was doing him a favor, he couldn't help but say. \"I have never someone so narcissist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian chuckled. \"Isn't it the biggest news these days? Level 7 in 3 months. You still think I'm a narcissist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua decided to shut his mouth. \"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news only said he 'reached' level 7 in 3 months.\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who were they kidding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy didn't just reach level 7, he was at the peak of level 7 and might reach level 8 soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he grew at this rate, he might become Sovereign in a year or less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what next? After one more year? Five more years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If he keeps growing, he'll really be the strongest.' Joshua's eyes flashed with complicated emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He welcomed Varian's growth because it could bring peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was it really okay for an individual like him who killed soldiers just because of their 'surname' to become a ruler?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even if I die, should I try killing him?' Joshua's eyes flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got a blood feud with Xanders.\" Varian's expression grew serious and heavy killing intent filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua's determination was strengthened and he was ready to launch a fatal blow to Varian even if it was certain that he'd die later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Xanders had a lot of filth. The filth that deserved to be dragged to prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he also knew the good people. The Xanders who used their status to help others. The people who inspired Joshua to be just and fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Varian was going to kill them all, then Joshua wouldn't stand still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I won't kill the innocents.\" Varian suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Joshua was caught off guard and he blankly stared at the young man. \"What do you mean 'innocent'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian chuckled. \"I'll use the laws of the federation to judge that. As long as the laws judge them guilty, I'll deliver them the sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there are exceptions. If they are someone who is responsible for the plight of the people close to me, they're dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua breathed a sigh of relief. If it was only this much, then he was fine with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still didn't approve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xanders constitute a major part of Earth's military power. If you go kill them, then abyssals will take over the plane—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll kill more abyssals.\" Varian's answer shut him up. \"There are a couple of Xanders I will kill. Maybe a hundred or a thousand. But abyssals? There are billions of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua's shoulders sunk as a deep sigh escaped his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that only 30% of the Xanders would be left. The rest would die under Varian's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the rest of the Xanders, you'll have to disband the great Xander family and change your surname,\" Varian said in a tone that allowed no compromise. \"I'm not going to kill everyone, but I'll sure as hell erase that damn surname.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can beat Sovereign Julius, sure,\" Joshua replied with a deadpan face.​\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian wasn't sure if he was mocking or being serious, but he didn't care anyway. \"Yeah. That's on the agenda.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xander surname that was at the top of the human race for nearly 500 years would be erased soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…So, is there anything else? I'll have to contact the HQ and report them I survived.\" Joshua asked with an impatient expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was itching to leave this place. Seeing the man who nearly killed him talk so casually made him very uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About that,\" Varian titled his head. \"I need some assistance from you. I want to know where the rest of the Xander princes and princesses are. Don't worry, I'll spare the innocents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way Varian decided their deaths spooked Joshua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With veins popping on his forehead, he yelled. \"And why should I tell you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because it's beneficial to you,\" Varian said like it was obvious. \"Even without you, I can find them. It just takes more time. But think about it, if you save that time, I can kill more abyssals which in turn will save more human lives. So, if you aren't helping me, you are responsible for those deaths.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! You…!\" Joshua's eyes turned red as he clenched his fists tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a simple explanation, but the way Varian put it really hit his conscience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian knew this too and that's why he worded it that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard! Do you think this is fun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Not at all. The guilt I felt when I saw Vin crying, if you help me, I can really save more lives.' Varian didn't say it out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an intense internal debate, Joshua finally sighed like a deflated balloon. \"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great!\" Varian clapped and with a snap, a long list of Xander princes appeared in front of Joshua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Joshua began to fill in the details he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian nodded in satisfaction. \"Don't report that I didn't kill you. I don't think they'll believe you even if you say so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua's hand froze for a moment before it continued typing the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to cook up a reason why he survived. He'd have to lie shamelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one will know that it was me.\" Varian began with a knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The abyssals will think that Prince Var, my fake identity, was killed by Xanders and they'll bore a grudge against you. Be prepared, the archduke Mendis might run rampant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humans will think abyssals exterminated their geniuses. The Xanders will retaliate. I'm looking forward to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua's eyebrows trembled as he listened to the man's scary declarations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to his actions, there'd be bloodshed. But the ones who'd bleed were the Xanders and the Abyssals—his enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xanders I will assassinate from now on will be victims of abyssals' retaliation. The abyssals who abruptly die are victims of Xanders.\" Varian's smile grew brighter and brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, at some point, they'll realize it's not the other party. It's gotta be someone else. Who else can do it? The fingers will point to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua finished typing and turned to Varian. \"So, you want me to shut up and not reveal it's you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh yeah\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I don't?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It'll waste my time and stop me from killing abyssals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are really a good soldier. We need more people like you.\" Varian smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to hear that from you.\" Shaking his head, Joshua made his way to the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghostship landed on a desolate asteroid near the purple sky planetoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua landed on the asteroid and started injuring himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the patrol ship reaches this location thirty minutes later, he needed to be severely injured and be 'rescued'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian bid him goodbye which wasn't returned and went to Sia's room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wanna go hunting together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1327,"2026-06-06T07:58:30.121Z",1,"novelbin.me","cbcd44ef3de659835c87c1fbe3abdf7a12eaa944fddf3956a7b21f51375185a6","divine-path-system-chapter-725","divine-path-system-chapter-723",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
