Divine Path System-Novel

Chapter 1496 One Step Closer

When Varian came to his senses, he was back in the town square. A sense of lightness overwhelmed him for a moment before he adapted to it.

Without the shackles binding him down, he felt so strong that he could crush this small town into pieces.

PS:

One step.

Just one more step.

Host, you're about to hit a stage of singularity.

There are people who will come after you, whether you like it or not. The only choices are killing or getting killed.

If you do survive this onslaught…what should happen will happen.

There is nothing that can be done to stop it.

It's been decided before you or even human civilization was born.

So…when the time comes, please do not despair.

There is a reason this system chose you.

There is a chance.

You are the chance.]

Varian silently read the entire message and walked to a pinkish water fountain. He sat there rubbing his forehead, a heavy sigh leaving his lips.

"You made it out alive?"

Following the sounds of heavy footsteps, a heavy, six-meter humanoid sat next to him.

The pink water fountain was at least five times larger than a typical one found back at home but it still looked small for this large being.

"The world of Demon Lord and Hero is notorious for its cunning princess and relentless demon lord. Those who heard a first timer tried it all thought you're gonna die. But my hunch was right."

Ingrid laughed, his deep, hoarse voice scaring away the passerbys.

"But it looks like you're not in a good mood." He narrowed his large eyes. "A close death encounter perhaps?"

Varian gave the over enthusiastic captain of the town's army a look like he's looking at a fool. Then, he said in a tired tone.

"Let's say you have a friend who can foresee the future."

"That's bullsh—"

"Let us…just…say!"

A powerful aura erupted from Varian, quietly locking onto the giant man.

"…"

Ingrid's body froze and his pupils widened.

'Wait, what? Rank 8? But this fear is something I only face in front of a rank 9. As I suspected, this man is indeed different from the rest. If it's him, maybe he can…'

"Okay, okay. I have a friend who can see the future." Ingrid nodded with an eager face, unwilling to risk his life over trivial things like logic and common sense.

"Then that friend keeps whining on how you're gonna face a big bad event one day. And it hints that your entire life is set up for this big battle—which you might win or most likely lose." Varian said with a smile but it was a smile borne out of anger and frustration.

"I would b-be…pissed?" Ingrid said after carefully observing the man's expression.

"Right?" Varian exhaled deeply, a fleeting pressure swept over the entire town as he did.

For a moment, everyone in the town stopped what they were doing and looked around in fear, a chill shooting down their spine.

It's like…it's like an apex predator breathed down their neck a moment ago.

"But you can't get rid of this friend. She's not gonna leave. You can't make her leave."

"…So it's a love problem? The one advice I always followed is having a baby with her solves a lot of issues."

"…"

Veins popped up on Varian's forehead and his chest heaved up and down. "Never mind, I need to get out of this stupid place."

He headed to the town center to pick a world once again.

The Paradise System kept blinking in the corner of his vision.

[Wohoo!

Congratulations, oh brave warrior!

An ending never seen before!

A tale that might never come after!

You have achieved:

SSS: 50 Million

Unique Ending: 250 Million

There have been sufficient cases where the participants enslave both the demon and humankind. But there has never been a case where the entire world gets obliterated.

Unprecedented Ending: 500 Million

It is recognized that you did something impossible for any person. No one has ever broken the divine chains in a celestial rank, if only for a fleeting moment.

You did it.

The paradise system believes you are the only person who can do it, other than Immortal himself.

Total Merit Points: 1 Billion.

You can choose to shop precious items, buy slaves, helpers, pets and more with your points. Or you can save up to 10 Billion and leave the Paradise. But a word of caution, Paradise is one of the safest places from external threats.]

Ignoring the not so subtle persuasion to stay, Varian picked his next world.

Meanwhile, Isadora won the rock, paper and scissors.

"I'll pick him up and return soon. Take care of this place." Waving her hand cooly, she walked out of the gardens in a pitch-black dress.

"Wait! Wait!" Sarah grabbed her hand and looked at her with a reluctant gaze. "One more?"

"No." Isadora said without hesitation. "This is the third. And third is the last."

"Fourth is also fine." Sarah said.

"…"

Isadora paused in her steps and gave her a sharp look.

Realizing how it must've sounded, Sarah coughed lightly before looking to the two fading phantoms for help.

Sia, dressed in a pink princess dress, waved her goodbye. "Sorry dear, I have to go find my prince."

Enigma, in a purple dress that was more formal than elegant, whistled while looking away.

"Traitors! Go! Go find him!" Sarah slapped her hand and a powerful wind threw them out of the garden.

Isadora and her sisters crashed outside. Thankfully, the two maids weren't working in this area.

Looking left and right, Isadora dusted off her dress, once again appearing dignified and noble.

"What a petty girl," Shaking her head, she looked to the side and her eyes widened into a disbelieving gaze. "You two are in soul forms. Why the hell are you dusting your dresses for?"

Sia and Enigma froze, the former's jaw dropping and the latter's face blushing.

"He's probably, no, he's definitely stuck somewhere. This isn't a vacation, girls. So, until we return, please don't turn this into a honeymoon with your husband." Adjusting her black gloves, the princess warned.

Her words caused their excitement to fade and with a sigh, their phantom forms dissipated.
