Chapter 1680 Samsara

1680 Samsara

A golden lotus bloomed. The dull region of Nirvana grew beautiful with bursts of brilliant colors.

Varian looked at the fading marks on the back of his palms with a calm gaze.

Winning Nirvana, he had regained the authority of Elysium and Purgatory.

"Come." Varian raised his arm.

The forbidden region shook violently before it merged back into one. Each region maintained its distinctiviness, but was now conneced to the others.

The authority of the three regions integrated into one and the entire forbidden region fell under Varian

As it did, the restrictions holding him in rank 2 dissipated.

Varian's power broke through the bottlenecks he long conquered and reached new heights in a brink.

This was his original strength, the strength which was suppressed by this region. If he had the chance to exert it, he would've easily killed the Spirit King. But if that's the case, then the God Emperor would've come in and easily killed him.

The restrictions were a bitter pill to swallow but they saved his life. "Status."

[...]

"Status."

[...]

"Logos! What the hell are you doing?"

[I...I've been trying to...]

Logos' voice wasn't the simulated mechanical one, it was a soft, feminine voice whish seemed to be struggling with something.

'Speak up, will you?' Varian raised a brow. [J-Just don't listen to whatever she s—eep!]

(Hiiiii~ Are you feeling okay? Do you want a life warming bath? Or do you want to soak your soul in my warmth? Ehehehehe~)

An energetic voice rang, tickling his mind with its giggling ringing.

If Logos' voice and behavior was that of a young woman in her early twenties who was a bit too cold, this one was a much more energetic and cheerful college student.

(Hey, hey, speak up! You were so cool back then! Ahh! Nirvana is conquered, was it? Can you do it again? Pretty please?)

Varian rubbed his forehead. "Slow down a bit, gir—lady. What's your name?" (Hm, let me think. Samsara, yes, I am Samsara! Samsara at your service! It's a bit naughty to ask, I know. But I can't help it since it's you!)

PS: Samsara is glad you're able to grow so fast in my avenue. Since you spent years researching about life, death and soul, you have grown tremendously. Of course, if it wasn't for the restrictions, you'd have reached a higher state.

Order: 100/1000 (+100)

Chaos: 100/1000 (+100)

PS: Even though Logos could've helped you go much higher considering the time spent with you, it's only this much. I Space: 125/1000 (+125)

Time: 125/1000 (+125)

PS: The shards are customized to assist learning for weaker beings. Weaker is relative. So, even high rank 2s can benefit from the slivers. What's more, you have so many of them. So, you have achieved great progress.)

Varian wondered if Samsara was deliberating lowering the scores for Order and Chaos. But she wasn't. These paths were really behind.

"Logos, Samsara, I'm counting on you."

[...]

(Of course~)

Varian was ready to leave the place. If he broke the barrier, assuming he even could, he'd probably alert the God Emperor's clone.

So, he decided to use his authority as the forbidden zone's master and link it to Hortus.

Even though this would take a while, it's much safer.

"I...I have to face him sooner or later."

Recalling those eyes, Varian tensed. In comparison to that man, the Spirit King felt harmless.

"Oh, right." Varian scanned the region of Nirvana as well as the entire forbidden zone for any suspicious things.

The Spirit King being a rank 2, living for billions of years and this place being the creation of a Primordial God made this place too important to not be searched.

"Hm?"

When he simultaneously used his senses and authority, one place showed a different reaction.

Varian appeared on the banks of a river with a solemn look. Facing the river was a being in a silver body. He was eerily similar to Spirit King.

The aura was weak but carried grand traces. Traces that reminded Varian of three beings he met once in Hortus.

"You..." Varian stepped forward with a wary look.

"Sinner!"
