Divine Path System
chapter-1544

Aphosis let out a deep sigh and gave Varian a tired glance. The pain stopped and his injuries were all reset in a blink. Even the injuries of his soul were treated and he was back in his perfect state.

"With your track record, it is possible for you to have more of a chance than Immortal." Aphosis nodded with a solemn expression. "Even though I feel it's only 0.5% more, it's still a significant improvement."

Varian didn't bother to distance himself from the Demon of Order. It would only be a futile attempt to run away from a being who could jump the lengths of entire kingdoms.

"So, you're not killing me?" Varian asked, unsure if he's going to be put through that torture once again.

"That's correct."

"Haa~"

"But."

Varian raised his head with a troubled expression.

"Others will not agree."

"Aren't you the leader of Nexus?"

"Not us. They will not agree. They do not think like me. Stronger they are, but their logic is not as strong. Both Keman Aurik and Yami are beings who want to control the future as much as possible.

You're an unexpected factor compared to Immortal. They'd rather prop him up for the final fight. Not you. Nexus is important in the Alliance but we are undoubtedly weaker than both the Empires. I cannot stop them from snatching you." Aphosis explained, his childish face containing heavy solemnity.

Varian rubbed his forehead at the forecast of his doom.

The strongest backer, if he could even call him that, was Aphosis. But he was as powerless as Varian against those two.

"Killing Fabricator was a mistake on your end. The death of a peak rank 1 is not a light matter. I have traced you first because you used the powers of Order and Chaos. But they will find you soon." Aphosis warned.

Varian closed his eyes, wanting to slap himself for the impulsive kill. He had a feeling that the 'revenge' would bite him in the future. It didn't even take that long to happen.

A billion years of torture being avenged surely felt good. If only did it didn't have these implications…

[Host, tell him that the moment the slivers are seperated from you, they will unfuse and scatter their powers across Eden. It'll take at least a few centuries to regain the perfect condition. The only way out is to not seperate them from you.]

"If the slivers are seperat—"

"I heard it." Aphosis cut him off, his eyes looking into Varian with a very curious gaze. "To think will of slivers has even given birth rise to sentience. And that sentience has chosen you. May I ask why the slivers are against Him? They have no reason to involve themselves in these affairs."

Logos sighed lightly before replying.

[A lot of reasons but the foremost being a feeling of dread. A terrible future awaits the universe if he succeeds.]

"I see." Aphosis nodded, a contemplative expression on his face.

Eventually, he looked into the distance and said. "Do you want to join, little girl?"

Space rippled and Miss Calamity appeared next to Varian. Her face was pale and she looked at Aphosis with a vigilant gaze.

"Child of Asherah, I did not think you were a friend of the sliver wielder."

"What?" Varian turned to Aurora in shock.

All Mother Asherah? The rank 2 powerhouse was Aurora's mother?

Then what about Isadora's master? Asha? Were these two sisters? Or was she also 'created' like Palarians were created?

"I'm her vessel, not her child. I will be gone when I should." Aurora said with a forced smile.

Aphosis made no comment on her words and turned his attention back to Varian. "Since I can't stop you from dying in their hands, I think taking the slivers and handing them over to Immortal is better. The threat of the slivers is real, but there is a good chance I can prevent it."

"Back to square one again?" Varian sighed and rubbed his forehead. "If I can convince them, will you offer me support?"

"It's worth a shot." Aphosis said. "If even the sentient slivers have chosen you, you should have a significantly higher chance than Immortal at accomplishing the

mission. Compared to Immortal's 0.05% chance, you should stand at least 0.61%."

"Lord Keman Aurik and Lady Yami are difficult to convince." Miss Calamity commented. "My f-father…hates changing his decisions."

"This is getting out of hand." Varian gave a dry chuckle. "Can I see your family tree sometime?"

"Stubborn they are, but if you provide a strong enough case, they would consider you." Aphosis said.

"How strong of a case?"

"Your opponent, Immortal, will absorb the hybrid vessel that is with you and gain three origins.

Once he ascends the divine ranks, he can do things that others can only imagine. With four slivers in hand and at least six paths, he will the strongest being of Alliance, the only chance for taking on Him.

This is what he's specifically created to do. It's his destiny. If there's anyone with any chance of winning the Empire, it's him." Aphosis said in a plain tone.

'They know about Isadora.' Varian's expression worsened.

"Even though we are preparing for a scenario without Immortal's ascension, if he can fulfill his role, the entire Alliance will back him. With him, the chances of success are ten times higher than otherwise.

Dropping Immortal to support you means they'll have to abandon a plan that took millions of years to develop and thousands of years to manifest.

In short, you'll have to convince them to abandon their future to gamble on your fate.

…It'll take a miracle."

Aphosis' words were not positive at all. The sheer difficulty in getting into the minds of the people to even think otherwise was astronomical.

But he had to do it somehow. Something so ridiculous and great that they would have no choice but to atleast consider his case.

Kemin Aurik and Yami might not even give him a chance to prove himself once they find him.

So, whatever plan he had out of this difficult situation, he would have to do it before they get to him.

"It might take a month or half. It is difficult to estimate." Aphosis noticed his thoughts and declared.

"But wouldn't doing something outrageous attract attention from the…" Varian trailed off.

"He will not care about this little war. No matter what you do, it will always beneath his stature to even look at. Do not worry about it and do your best." Aphosis shook his head with strong confidence.

"And under no circumstances, cheat. You cannot fool their eyes. This war is a good opportunity to prove yourself.

Perhaps if you perform well and at least kill a few pseudo divines, I suspect you'll have at least 1% chance of convincing them.

You have been accustomed to multiple paths since the beginning, if I'm not wrong and that's a significant advantage over Immortal.

Show yourself that you're better than him and the Alliance will back you. Instead of hiding your identity and running away, you'll become the hero of everyone.

Your destiny is now fully in your hands."
