Chapter 1602 Possibility of Victory
At the top of a mountain, Varian, who looked like he just reached his 20th year, sighed.
"How long has it been?"
[4 years]
"I feel tired." He cracked his knuckles and leaned back.
'Status'
[Pseudo Divine
Paragon Body: 70/90 (+30)
<Your body has grown tremendously in the two weeks your divine paths weren't restricted. The union with divine rankers was etremely helpful. Had you used Synergy, you'd have been a divine ranker already>
Ignis: 90/90 (+45)
<The difficult situations you faced might've scarred your forever, remaining as memories that are impossible to forget. But they've also made you more resilient>
Death Giant: 70/90 (+30)
Order: 90/90 (+60)
Chaos: 90/90 (+60)
<Again, congratulations for finding good wives, you lucky bastard>
Space: 90/90 (+30)
Time: 90/90 (+30)
<If not for you intentionally suppressing it, your paths would've already hit the divine rank and even jumped a whole sub-rank. It's a hard decision but the right one>

Varian yawned. "Show me something useful."
[Comprehensive Strength: All paths + the slivers
21% of a Divine Ranker.
You have a long way to you.
With the estimates of your current speed and the inevitable slow down as one reaches higher proficiency in slivers, you'll need:
25 years to reach 30%
50 years to reach 40%
100 years to reach 50%
I'm not so crazy enough to think I can bridge that gap just like that."
[You don't have a choice.]
"Your honesty is disgusting sometimes."
[It's better than a sugar coated lie. The Alliance is afraid of the God Emperor and rightly so.
If you lose this battle, Immortal will be groomed to be the successor with four slivers.
If you win, you'll have two more slivers at your disposal. And they'll invest tremendous resources in you.
The speed of your growth would be beyond any imagination. Genesis, Mors and Nexus would give their all to push you to the peak.
You're not as desperate as you think you are.]
"...Do you really think I stand a chance?"
[Yes. That's why you were chosen in the first place. Your fate, if set off by the right conditions, can fluctuate to unprecedented degree, allowing for extreme possibilites, even one as extreme as defeating him.]
"Do you think the God Emperor will sit and wait?"
[I can predict next to nothing about him.]
"...Great." Varian lay down on the grass.
A bolt of white light shot out of his fingertip and the matter of the mountain changed in a blink, turning into a fluffy cloud, resembling Primula's favorite mattress.
A smile formed on the corner of his mouth.
It reminded him of the times when she'd drag him to her bed and have him tell stories.
As a good brother, Varian would tell her ghost and horror stories.
'And she wouldn't sleep unless I stayed beside her until morning. I wonder why?'
[No one tells horror zombie stories to children, even if that child is a very powerful awakener. Of course, she's scared.]
'But she slept like a pig when she's that scared. And she drooled! Ugh, my new shirts! Why is she hungry even in her sleep?' Varian grumbled. 'Sleep, yeah, sleep...'
His eyes grew heavy and his body descended into sleep without much resistance.
The act of continously using the slivers had a huge toll on his body and spirit.
Despite being a pseudo divine ranker, he's still too weak to come anywhere close to wielding their true power.
A soft sigh sounded after confirming he's asleep.
[Sigh...hopefully, everything works out. The future I can predict is less and less clear.]
Logos was confident in Varian's fate to achieve extreme outcomes. But it lied when it said his extreme fate allowed him an extreme possibility of defeating the God Emperor.
In truth, neither Logos nor any being in the universe knew whether it was possible to defeat the God Emperor.
His true strength, goal and motivation...everything was unclear.
