"An intruder!"

"Rank 2s, get close!"

"Activate the defense formations!"

Varian body glowed with a brilliant starlight and he shot forward like a rocket.

| But before he even moved a hundred meters, the space around him solidified. Even though Havocs were dual awakeners, their space path would always stop at peak level 9. So, despite the efforts of dozens of Havocs, they couldn't stop him.

But their attacks weren't trying to stop him.

Ting!

A tower on the asteroid lit up and based on the space signatures, locked onto Varian's body.

The space stones inside the tower turned into ash in a blink and an invisible wave struck Varian.

Kacha!

The space around Varian cracked apart like a mirror struck with a stone and his movement instantly stopped. He stood still, like a painting in a portrait.

Then, blood spilled out of his body. On his perfect body, suddenly, there were thousands upon thousands of cuts, as if they were sliced by the most perfect of blades.

Even with Varian's excellent healing capabilities, the cuts refused to close as the space around them remained utterly unstable.

Every moment, he was losing lots of blood and it wasn't stopping. Even with his tremendous vitality, if this continued on for a couple more seconds, Varian would fall into a great weakness.

'If I can't heal the cuts, then just…' Varian controlled the blood flow in his body and the bleeding stopped.

But before he could make any move, a large circular formation lit up on the asteroid. All the Havocs poured their elemental power, lightning or fire, into the formation.

Lighting up dozens upon dozens of circles with mysterious patterns, the formation lit up.

A lightning eagle and a fire bull emerged from the formation, each in the power level between rank 2 and rank 3.

The space around Varian suddenly flashed golden and red. Then, it exploded with the brilliance of a hundred suns.

The lightning eagle and the fire bull jumped into space and reached Varian's position in the blink of an eye.

Every Havoc waited for these beasts to deal him a finishing blow. But what they didn't expect was that despite some deep burns, Varian seemed mostly fine.

"What the…!"

And he didn't even bother to fight the elemental creatures, he just ran across the asteroid.

The lightning eagle and the fire bull chased after him. But for some reason, Varian's speed was suddenly increased as did every other parameter—thanks to his time power. But except him, nobody on the site knew.

So, in their eyes, despite the elemental creatures trying their bests, Varian ran free. And just after two seconds, his lips curled up and he ran to the asteroid.

"Stop him!"

"Joint attack!"

Havocs started to rain tremendous explosions of fire and lightning on him. For a moment, the space lit up with the dazzling fireworks.

Varian expertly dodged these attacks and ran straight into an ordinary boulder.

"Oh no! That's th—"

The space fluctuated and Varian disappeared right into the boulder.

As the world around him shifted, Varian found himself facing a room floating inside the Inner Space.

The treasury!

But contrary to the previous two treasuries, this one had a guard.

"I was waiting for you on the order of the patriarch." The old woman with pale red skin grinned a toothless grin and waved her hand.

Varian's body temperature spiked. The blood in his body boiled and began to evaporate. At the same time, his skin began to wriggle under the high temperate and twist as all moisture left him.

"I hate these attacks." Varian spat.

"But you can do nothing about it." The old woman sneered.

A Mystic like him had no way of countering her power. The only way would be to kill her. But she's a peak rank 2.

"Since no one is here, I surely can do something." Varian's body temperature started to cool down and water appeared out of nowhere and entered his body.

"A W-Water awakener? But you're a Mystic! You're not a hybrid, so how do you have two paths?!" The old woman was so shocked that she let down her guard.

And that was enough of a gap.

A spiritual attack struck her mind and a vitality suction force paralyzed her old body from reacting in time. Simultaneously, the space around her body froze up and her time slowed down.

Varian's figure flashed past her and he entered into the treasury.

BOOM!

The old woman broke the spatial restriction on her and turned to Varian. "You bastard, you shall n—"

"I passed." Varian showed her a bloodied middle finger.

"Huh?" The old woman clutched her neck and her fingers touched a warm wet liquid.

A headless corpse collapsed to the floor.

Varian rummaged through the treasury. Amidst the stack of drugs, tonnes of money, precious herbs, metals, and potions sat a shining gem.

"Ah! Finally!" With a smile, he put the gem away. And of course, everything else.

As he walked back to the exit, Varian clicked his tongue at the guardian's corpse. Even his full power couldn't defeat her. But she let her guard down and got killed.

'Come to think of it, these experienced celestial rankers won't be startled by most things. But if I reveal my seven paths, they'd be dumbfounded and it's an excellent opportunity to kill them!' Varian laughed at his own stupid idea.

By the time he returned to the asteroid, no, to the…empty outer space, the space was dyed red.

The asteroid had long melted away in a sea of golden flames that now stretched for thousands of miles in space.

Baldur was confronting an old man with an aura comparable to his own as well as a couple of others.

As expected, Havocs really had a rank 4!

Supporting his father against Baldur, Neihor happened to catch Varian's exit.

Then, without any hesitation, his body burned in blue flames and he shot toward Varian like a comet.

"You bastard! Stay!" The Patriarch of Havocs roared like an angry lion.

Varian didn't even bother to respond and directly jumped into Baldur's spaceship that had been waiting for him.

Neihor entered his own spaceship and started a chase. Along with him, a couple of peak rank 2s also joined.

Baldur was only using Starsafe Director's spaceship. So, no matter how much he tried, Varian wasn't able to shake them off.

"Fuck."
