Divine Path System Chapter 1077 Overwhelming Power

Chapter 1077 Overwhelming Power

The elves, though divided by their paths, were united through their race and the World Tree. It's the most sacred part of their race and something they'd defend with life.

The Elder Hall, where the important decisions were made, was the highest building on the World Tree. Only three members of each elf tribe were allowed to enter the Hall at any time. Other than that, even the children of the ruling elders couldn't step in.

But today, a handsome young man, who was clearly an outsider was sitting on a golden throne, facing the six elven elders with a calm smile.

Each of the elder elves was a celestial ranker and the strongest member of their tribe. They tolerated no disrespect and were extremely strict toward even their own family.

But they sat stiffly facing the outsider. Even though the man remained polite since they met, they couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling. He neutralized the attacks of the strongest non-celestials. It only meant he was their equal, a celestial ranker. That's why they decided to even have this meeting.

To be fair, they had no idea how to treat him since he was their first guest. And they were a bit intimidated by him despite his rank being equal to theirs. There was excitement of finally meeting someone from outside, there was fear of meeting an enemy and there's confusion on how to proceed

"So…when the devas were dying, they sealed you here to protect you? Then you managed to survive for thousands of years, sustaining yourself thanks to the World Tree and the Ruins. And you couldn't get out of the ruins because of the seals. Is that all?" Varian tapped the armrest of the throne and asked.

"Y-Yes." The elder of the water tribe tried to reply calmly but she still stuttered. "It's so long ago that no one from that era exists, even though every elf can live for two hundred years. But our records on the matter are clear."

Varian nodded with a faint smile and looked out of the wooden window. This Elf Kingdom here was large, maybe as big as the Asian continent of Earth. There were around a hundred million elves living here. Apparently, their population had hit a plateau a thousand years ago.

"It's a beautiful place, your world." He said with genuine appreciation.

The elders looked at each other, unsure of his intended meaning when there was none.

"What do you intend to do with us…S-Successor of Devas?" The earth tribe chief asked the most important question.

Varian turned his gaze back to them and his smile vanished. "Let's have a small fight first. Then I'll tell you my decision. Pick a place."

The expressions of the elders crumbled. The fire elder snorted and slammed a specific spot on the table.

A light enveloped them and they all appeared in an enclosed white s.p.a.ce, hundreds of miles above the top of the world tree.

"This is a place where we fight when there are irreconcilable differences." The lightning elder explained as the six prepared against him.

"I like this place." Varian's eyes shone with longing.

His att.i.tude put the elders on the edge even more. Why was he so relaxed? Didn't he know that if he's defeated, they might try to harm his life?

"Enough talk." The fire, lightning, and light elders grouped together while the water, earth, and darkness became another group.

Then they attacked together.

Varian's body temperature suddenly shot up. His blood, driven by the water content inside it, grew chaotic and wreaked havoc inside him. A numbing shock pulsed through his body as lightning snakes ripped through his muscles.

A bright light gathers around Varian and exploded with enough force to destroy a moon. Then a coc.o.o.n of darkness swallowed him and began to blind his senses while grinding his body. All this while, his flesh, and bones grew heavy as a mountain  as an earthly aura drowned him.

These were attacks that went beyond anything an elemental sovereign could come up with. They were an entirely different level of application. If any of these attacks fell on a small planetoid, all life on it would be wiped out.

The white enclosed s.p.a.ce was filled with brilliant lights of the attacks.

The six elven elders stared at the coc.o.o.n of darkness with a serious gazes. There was no response from it.

They looked at each other in confusion. Were they mistaken? Was he weak and just gave them dangerous vibes?

Then that'd be better. So that they could—

BOOM!

The darkness coc.o.o.n exploded with a bang and a violent storm swept the elven elders. Varian stood in the center of the storm, seven auras radiating from him. There were a few injuries on him which healed faster than they could blink.

"S-Seven powers?"

"Impossible!"

"This is an illusion! A Spirit has trapped us in a nightmare!"

The elders went nuts in the first second. In the next, Varian raised his hand and took one step forward.

But it's as if the s.p.a.ce had shrunk, he appeared right in front of the fire elder.

The fire elder instinctually swept his hand at Varian and raised his temperate even further.

Varian's skin wriggled and started melting like wax under the flame. But before it could go any further, he brought his index and middle finger together and flicked them toward the fire elder.

Like throwing a pebble into a still lake, a ripple spread and turned into a world-ending shockwave.

The fire elder wrapped himself in a suit of fire and wanted to escape but his eyes went blank and the shockwave struck him straight.

Like a candle blown off by a night wind, the fire elder's flames went off and he collapsed onto the ground, injured and unconscious.

The simple yet extremely overpowering clash intimidated the remaining elders.

They grouped together and launched their attacks once again.

Lightning and light arrows flew at him, containing terrible amounts of energy while hands of darkness tried to overwhelm his senses all the while his body began to freeze and grow heavy.

But Varian didn't stand still.

With a snap of his fingers, the lightning and light arrows fired at him slowed down. A s.p.a.ce portal appeared in front of these attacks and swallowed them whole. Then a portal appeared right behind the darkness, earth, and water elders.

"f.u.c.k!"

With a bang, the three elders collapsed to the white floor and fainted with heavy injuries from the unexpected attack.

Only lightning and light elders were left.

Varian's body blurred in s.p.a.ce and s.h.i.+fted forward before they could even blink. It wasn't just the s.p.a.ce, he was too fast.

Even though they were all Rank 1 Celestials, he moved at a speed their senses couldn't capture.

They didn't know that he was also using his time powers to speed up his movements. Even if they did, they couldn't change a thing.

"D-Don't come close!" The lightning elder screamed and rained down a volley of arrows on Varian. Each of these arrows exploded like a small nuke.

Varian moved between these explosions with extreme ease, as if he was walking in a park. But curiously, even though some of the shockwaves from the explosions reached him, they failed to even tear his skin.

"Die!" The light elder who waited for his chance launched a laser beam at Varian.

A s.p.a.ce portal opened in front of Varian and devoured the beam. But it quickly broke apart and the remaining energy beam reached Varian.

Varian opened his mouth and ate it. His mouth bulged and it looked like he had trouble swallowing it, but he closed his mouth with his hand and gulped it down.

"Haa!" His body lit up with the same golden light he swallowed and he grinned at the two elders.

The two scrambled back but not before a blurred silhouette slapped them on the chest. With a crack of bones, they too fainted on the ground.
