Divine Path System-Novel

Chapter 165: Right Combination

Varian experienced a shift in his space power and his space sense.

Aura poured into his body from the aura crystals he connected and quickly filled him with new space power.

Slowly, the connection between his space sense and space power rose until it reached a delicate level.

Varian locked the space around his body. Instantly, his surroundings solidified.

It seemed like nothing changed compared to previous space bindings. Except one key difference.

Varian wasn't feeling stuck by the space.

He punched out and instead of obstructing him, the solid space layer stretched with his arm.

Under careful observation, Varian could see this space binding was more like a solid space suit.

He could use it to warp himself in an additional layer of protection.

'One small test.' Varian entered the ghostship and entered the combat room.

He made this with the materials he grabbed from the hideouts.

There were many robots, which after modification, could be used for tests.

'System, turn off my all my other paths except Space Path.'

[Sure, host]

The next moment, Varian nearly collapsed as he felt incredibly weak. It was as if all strength was drained of him.

No.

He was still a Level 3 Space Awakener. But the disparity with the current and previous self was too much. It actually made him feel like he was weaker than an unawakened.

Varian shook his head and focused on the space power in his body.

"Boo, set a dummy with defense of Level 1 Body Awakener." Varian said and a humanoid appeared in front of him.

Varian teleported and covering his arm with space power, he threw a punch.

Creak!

"This!"

Varian watched in shock as his fist passed right through the dummy's chest.

The solid space around his body acted as the first offense. It used its hardness and despite the low force he put in the punch, broke through the defense.

"Level 2 Dummy." Varian wanted to test further.

Creak!

The same situation repeated, but this time, Varian clearly felt resistance. But it was still powerless in front of him.

"Level 3 Dummy!"

Boom!

Varian withdrew his fist and glanced at the dent on the dummy. The space power around his fist was shaking uncontrollably.

"If I use only this and Morpher powers, I'd be able to contend even with peak Level 3." Varian marvelled at the boost.

Both Space and Morpher Paths were both low Level 3, yet their combination was very lethal.

Space Awakeners lacked the physical force to launch a powerful blow, but made up for it in creating a solid space layer around their body.

They also didn't posess superhuman speed like Body or Morpher Awakeners. If there was an ambush by a Body Awakener, they'd sense it through their space sense and teleport.

But what if…the weakeness of Space Path was supplemented by Morpher Path?

His Morpher Path, despite being a transformation of a plant, granted him good physical stats.

As a Low Level 3 Plant Morpher, his strength, speed, and defense were a bit lower than a typical Low Level 3 Body Awakener. But his vitality and stamina were much higher.

But once he used this 'Space Armor', his attack power and defense would skyrocket.

It was not two seperate attacks, but superposition of two Low Level 3 Attacks. Even though it wasn't a perfect 1+1, it'd easily rival any peak Level 3.

On the other hand, his speed could be made up by usage of space sense and teleportation.

Varian clenched his fist and smiled. "This is great!"

What if he advanced his space path to Level 4 and used it with his Body Path?

"Damn…this is so fun." He chuckled and exited the ghostship.

With this new skill, 'Space Armor', it could be used with any other path.

"For the time being, I can't use it in front of everyone." Varian felt it was a pity.

Unless it was proved that Dual or Triple Awakeners could also become Sovereigns, revealing his other paths would only backfire.

Without a doubt, Evander would cut off the ties. He might even turn hostile.

Then he'd have to face the Xanders without any background. It was not a good idea. At least for now.

"I need to remind Sarah…but will she be okay with hiding the truth from her father?" Varian hoped she'd help him.

She was very friendly to him. And their end goal was the same anyway.

"But barring the academy, I can disguise myself and use my strength freely." Varian rubbed his chin.

"But it's really a pity if I can't use my full strength." He still couldn't let go of it.

There must be a way. Something.

Then it struck him.

"As long as a Dual or Triple Awakener advances to Sovereign, I can let go of any inhibitions!" He snapped his fingers.

'System, since you assured me I can advance to Sovereign, other dual or triple awakeners must be able to do it too, right?'

[Of course, host. Should this system show the method to you?]

'Nah. Save that for later. We need a peak Level 9 Dual Awakener who can actually advance.' Varian replied with a troublesome expression.

Dual Awakeners progressed much slowly than others. Triple Awakeners even more so.

Most of the population never reach Level 9. Most Level 9s never reach peak of Level 9.

So finding a peak Level 9 was going to be a tough job. But that didn't mean they didn't exist.

There would be talented dual awakeners. Like Sarah.

No.

'Sarah's speed is too abnormal. Even though she said she is only in early stages of Level 6, even a big genius could only reach level 5 in two paths.' Even though he had his suspicions, Varian didn't delve deeper.

The issue was peak Level 9s.

Except for a few famous figures, almost all information of military personnel was strictly guarded.

'The database is strictly protected. If not, I could've already found both Sia and peak Level 9s.' Varian sighed and was about to start training when his comm glowed.

{Young Master Varian, your position in Silver List is #1. You can shift to Silver Neighborhood. It has higher aura density.

Also, you might have been too busy, but the academy has three Sovereign level treasures. They are also the corner stones of the cadets' training.}

Varian coughed lightly. He didn't go out much before he took the mission. He was training all day.

{PS: In your free time, check them out. Please take care of your body and don't train 24 hours a day.} Varian was about to smile when he caught the line below.

{PSS: 23 hours is good enough.}

"Damn! You guys are abnormal." Varian retorted.

"Calm down, master. You really don't take that much rest." Boo appeared beside him and patted his shoulder.

"...I do"

"..."

Varian looked at Boo rolling its eyes and gave up.

"I'm bored anyway. Ask the bots to move my stuff to the new house. Be careful with the black box. Wait, it's better to store it in your space."

"Will do." Boo saluted him in a comical pose.

A few minutes later, Varian was standing in front of massive tower.

Tower of Trials.
