He looked at the blood flowing from the sword that lodged itself through his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she was going through so much pain, Amanda didn't show any fear on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave Varian a sad glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'm going to miss you.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian raised his head and looked at the woman holding the sword that took away his bundle of happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusions he saw in the mirage abyss overlapped with the current illusion and Varian's heart pounded in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, the space around Enigma broke into a hundred pieces and gave her a thousand cuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From head to toe, blood began to spill out from her wounds, and Enigma was covered in red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-Is that all your rage?\" Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth as she stared at him stubbornly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's eyes flashed with thick killing intent. His rationale is stopping him from going for the kill, but that also meant anything other than kill was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of my rage?\" Varian punched at Enigma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gigantic ice fist shot hit her and crashed her into the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of bones breaking rang out as Enigma slid down the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You haven't seen even a tenth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two spears of lightning and ice pierced through Enigma's shoulders and struck her at the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian took a step toward her. Then another. His eyes locked onto hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she's in this state, Enigma continued to stare at him with the same plain eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why can't you control your own fucking body?\" Varian waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A space blade left a deep cut on her abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you lose your mind?\" Varian growled as a sharp spear pierced Enigma's stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma felt a searing pain through her body as she kept bleeding. Varian really showed no mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he didn't kill her, each and every attack was optimized to increase the pain she felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her determination, Enigma could hardly move. But she didn't need to move anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched as Varian approached her step by step. Until he reached the critical distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a sword appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn't you control yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thrust the sword straight toward her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma closed her eyes as her body spasmed from the pain. Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes, but she stubbornly held herself from crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, she's the villain who killed his mother. She only needed to appear hateful. She didn't have to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't have the heart to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though her heart was now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Huh?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma forcibly opened her eyes and felt the sword in her chest. It was just an inch away from her heart. Not by accident, but by intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In confusion, she raised her head only to see Varian looking back at her with red eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaotic emotions swirled in his red eyes that seemed to be on the verge of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Why?\" Enigma asked as she coughed blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Varian repeated her question in a low voice before yelling. \"You tell me why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did it have to be you? If it's anyone else, I'd have killed them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did it have to be for saving me? If it's for any other reason, I'd have hated you for life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Varian clenched his fists and with a wave of his hand, pulled away all the weapons piercing through her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma slid down the wall powerlessly and collapsed on her knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thud, Varian too collapsed on his knees as he stared at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You can kill me…\" Enigma said in a weak voice. \"In an illusion, at least. Or Sia will be in danger if I die for real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I…I'll also be in the illusion. I'll experience death, I'll experience all the pain, but I won't die. Y-You can kill me all you want.\" Enigma lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at her injuries and wanted to ask Boo to heal them. But for some reason, he let them stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was petty revenge. Maybe it was to tell himself that he was still cruel to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I hate you. My mind tells me it's not your fault, that things could go wrong. But my heart, it doesn't listen.\" Varian said. \"But. I hope there will come a day when I can convince my heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma's bloodied lips arched up just a bit. \"I…see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And thank you.\" Varian bowed his head. \"I feel like an invisible burden is lifted off my chest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…are you asking me for permission to beat me up whenever you feel that burden again?\" Enigma quipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I don't know.\" Varian sighed. \"I won't deny a part of me feels great about this, but there's also another part that feels like trash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you're treating me with sincerity, it's only right that I do so the same,\" Enigma said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are only a few times I've been this injured…my whole body is aching and I might faint from the pain. But what are you doing? You didn't even call Boo for treating me. You're a horrible man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sometimes.\" Varian chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you're not that hateful, because I can feel my recovery speeding up…you did something, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\" Varian maintained a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he used his plantae powers. Only to stop her injuries from worsening. Yep, only that. As for why her regeneration sped up, he had no idea. None at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma looked at his expression and knew that she wouldn't get any reply for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stubborn. You keep being stubborn…\" She sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at her for a moment before giving a deep sigh. His turbulent heart settled down and he started to regain his calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your words make you sound like a granny who watched over me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I'm not a granny, but I did watch over you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma's eyes flashed with rare nostalgia as she said. \"You know…I was weak back then. I couldn't do much. I couldn't even talk to Sia. But I could stay awake for a few hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian stiffened as Enigma looked at him with weird eyes. \"…So, I watched you every time I was awake. No, I woke up only when I know you were there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma looked at the young man in front. The younger versions of him in her mind overlapped with his current version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I watched you grow and with you, I grew up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enigma's lips curled into a beautiful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian blinked twice to see if he was hallucinating. Was this really Enigma?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe that's why…\" Enigma lowered her head and sighed. \"That's why when I could finally come out, I got so angry that your life was in danger. That's why, when I wielded the power of three paths for the first time to save you, I lost my mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation steered in a direction he didn't anticipate and so, for the first time in a while, Varian found himself completely speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>",1289,"2026-06-06T07:58:30.121Z",1,"novelbin.me","3b7618303e038634dbc09895fd23e801b71885dec84859e0318854957d8231b9","divine-path-system-chapter-747","divine-path-system-chapter-745",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
