Divine Path System

The level 8 Abyssals on Hellsong were enraged at Varian’s words.

“Son of a bitch! Do you really think you’re invincible?”

“You’re just one, and we’re twenty!”

In a blink, twenty Abyssals surrounded Varian.

They hadn’t heard of Varian’s exploits on Neptune. And certainly not Pluto.

In their opinion, Varian was stronger than Alec, but not to the point he completely crushed him.

If they and Alec joined hands, then defeating Varian was a given.

Varian guaged the strength of his enemies and realized that they were all pretty strong. Either high level 8s or peak level 8s.

If he really started fighting, it’d take at least three to five minutes.

And if that Abyssal in Crimson joined, then twenty minutes or more.

‘I can’t spend that much time here…’ Varian’s eyes flashed with a little hesitation.

Noticing the change in Varian’s expression, the Abyssal Commander laughed. “Scared? Are you scared now? No use! You’ll end up the same as that Batran!”

Those words invogorated the remaining Abyssals and they all channeled their auras as they looked at Varian with venemous eyes.

Varian raised his hand and the twenty Abyssals suddenly felt their hearts jump.

An omnious sensation overwhelmed their very beings and a cold killing intent enveleoped them.

“Hiss!”

The twenty level 8 Abyssals sucked in a breath of cold air as they shivered.

Varian’s figure appeared in front of a level 8 and his hand slapped down.

The remaining nineteen Abyssals wanted to stop him, but due to the horrifying killing intent, they were a bit late.

So, they could only watch Varian’s hand reach the head of the Abyssal to blast it into—

The Abyssal that was about to die was blown back and in his place was Alec Everblood, blocking Varian’s punch with a red lightning spear.

The world seemed to dim for a moment before a huge shockwave spread out from the point of contact.

With the sound of a giant explosion following, Alec was sent flying a few miles while Varian stood in place, his gaze growing increasingly hostile.

“You’re so dead.” Varian’s words were like an ominous prophecy.

Alec withdrew his spear. His arms were still shaking from the previous block and his palms were bleeding heavily.

“I really can’t kill you.” The Abyssal in crimson finally admitted as he gave Varian a serious gaze. “Neither can all of us.”

The level 8 Abyssals that previously surrounded Varian were already slowly slipping back. Hearing Alec’s words, they gave up any pretense and started retreating at full speed.

Varian didn’t care about their movements while he kept his gaze locked on the Abyssal in crimson, ready to deliver the next blow.

Even though he was a step stronger than Alec, he didn’t feel any safe facing this Abyssal. Varian had a feeling that if he made a slight mistake, then Alec would be able to give him a major blow.

Alec’s second strike strengthened this notion and also made him realize that killing Alec would take more time than he initially thought. Time that he didn’t have.

‘But there’s no choice. If I try to enter the teleportation formation with him here, he can just destroy it and ruin my plans.’

Varian’s hostility grew and he teleported in front of Alec with a lightning spear in his right hand and an ice spear in left.

Alec’s eyebrows jumped at this ridiculous display of powers.

‘A hybrid? Did Devas reach so far in hybrid research thousands of years ago?’ His mind flashed with thoughts that he quickly set aside.

Alec turned into a mass of lightning and met head-on with Varian’s attack. The sky flashed with colors of blue, gold, and red before the red quickly vanished.

Alec’s figure blurred and he retreated from Varian before jumping into a spaceship. It looked different from the average Abyssal ships.

A split second later, it gave off a bright light and vanished!

‘Teleported. Is he still on the planetoid?’ Varian’s eyes narrowed and he wondered if he should hunt Alec down.

“Varian, I thought I could kill you. I couldn’t. But your death has been decided by his majesty. No matter where you hide, you can’t be saved.” Alec’s confident words lingered in the air followed by a burst of laughter.

Varian snorted in dismissal. Inwardly, however, he was vigilant. ‘Abyss Emperor is targetting me now? What a great honor.’

Shaking his head, Varian asked Boo to check the surveillance of the planetoid. “Master, that Abyssal is gone!”

“I don’t want to delay the journey further,” Varian smiled and was about to enter the fortress when he realized he was forgetting the level 8 Abyssals.

“Where are the rest?”

“They all grouped a few hundred miles away.”

“So rather die than run?” Varian’s lips curled up into a cruel smile. “I’ll grant their wish.”

His figure vanished and appeared a few hundred miles away, right in front of the twenty level 8 Abyssals.

“Var—”

The aura of seven divine powers glowed and overwhelmed the Abyssals.

Heads flew into the air, bodies were burnt, the living were frozen to death and most ended up as a bunch of bones and flesh.

Two minutes later, Varian crushed the neck of the last Abyssal and teleported above the fortress.

The reason he killed those Abyssals was to ensure they wouldn’t investigate anything once he used the formation. If they did and destroyed it, then the emergency route Sovereign Kevin entrusted him for use would be destroyed.

Even with them dead, he didn’t enter the fortress.

The Abyssal army was still present. Of course, they no longer had any confidence in ‘winning’ this planetoid.

The level 7 Abyssals were more clear of this than anyone. So, they ordered a retreat in hopes to preserve as much manpower as possible.

Varian kept teleporting from one place to another over the Abyss army while he rained them with attacks.

Lightning bolts, Ice bullet rain, and Telekinetic arrows killed tens of thousands.

Varian’s ocassional punches created huge craters killing thousands.

Hundreds of Abyssals started attacking their own army while being trapped in his illusions.

In just minutes, the Abyss army had devolved into a state of utter chaos.

The remaining Human army, only about 10% of the original, kicked back into action and restarted the defenses of the fortresses.

Since the Abyssals were retreating, they got enough room to finish the complex process.

Varian disappeared from everyone’s sight and teleported into the lowest floor of one of the fortresses.

There were only a few soldiers on the way and he used his mental powers to hide himself and sent them away.

The situation was too chaotic now and no one would notice what’s happening here.

After going through several corridors and halls, Varian stopped in front of a particular wall. This was the entrance to the teleportation formation.

He touched the wall for a few seconds before punching it. “Key…I need the key. If I forcibly open it, the whole fortress will blow up.”

Even if he forcibly opened the route in the previous places, the consequences weren’t so heavy.

But this was a great fortress and thus had excellent defensive mechanisms.

“Fuck!” Varian cursed and ordered. “Boo, look for the comm of this fortress’ commander.”

“Yes, Master!”

Boo took over the surveillance of the planetoid while tracking the comm on the side.

A minute later, Boo’s childish but excited voice sounded. “Master, found it!”

Varian’s eyes lit up and his figure disappeared from the fortress.

A few seconds later, he appeared in front of a building, deep in one of the Abyss Military Base.

The Abyssals were still chaotic and no one entered this area that was originally reserved for level 8s.

“He’s in there?” Varian looked at the thick metallic red door and asked.

His senses couldn’t get into this building and he had no idea if there were Abyssals inside.

“Yes, master. His comm connection was cut off here.”

Varian took a breath and clenched his fist.

He covered the whole building using his telekinetic barrier and also created a solidified space barrier, sealing any sound from leaking.

“Here we go,” Varian’s arm blurred and the door squeaked violently as a fist-shaped dent appeared on it.

He could’ve directly destroyed the whole thing, but in doing so, he couldn’t guarentee the safety of the person inside.

The human commander was likely dead, but there’s a small chance he could be alive.

Even though Varian wanted to get the key at any cost to reach Sia as soon as possible, he controlled that impulse and decided to spend a few more seconds here.

Varian’s arm blurred as he threw hundreds of punches in a blink and the door collapsed.

Stepping inside, Varian sensed weak breathing and rushed into a corner room.

“What the…”

Varian flinched as he stepped back. His heart stopped for a moment and he even forgot  to breathe.
