Chapter 1503 The World Of Eternal Empress

Varian thanked the good samaritan who gave him the living expenses to rent out a luxury home in the capital city.

[Using your soul power to grab money, hmph! Any good man would rather sleep on the hard ground than rob people.]

'Firstly, they are crony businessmen who underpay their employees. Secondly, why the fuck should I sleep on hard floor when I have the soft mattress?'

Varian clicked his tongue and opened the large window.

The view of the capital city greeted him along with the wind that started to cool with the sunset.

The princess had long entered the palace but the processions in the streets were going on.

Even the wide streets were now congested as the citizens swarmed into every available space, either chanting a victory slogan or praising the princess.

"Without this thing, I have no chance of winning." Varian raised the rusty ring and looked at with one eye closed, trying to look the sky through it.

At first, it showed nothing different. But when his time power filled the artifact, the time flowing around him rippled.

As if a movie was being played back, the congested streets turned a little less crowdy, the loud voices grew a bit quieter and the setting sun rose a bit above the horizon.

Boom!

Varian staggered back, blood furiously spurting out of his nose and mouth. He grabbed the pillar of the luxuriosu bed and stabilized his shaking body.

"What the fuck...my soul was almost pulled out." His gaze toward the rusty ring was now half-curious and half-scared.

"Eternal Empress...no one should've experienced this problem. Is it because no one tried to check the object with time power? Wait, the main character did not awaken in the time path here."

It's most likely that trying to explore the ring's powers was what caused the backlash. The second most likely was that the treasure was 'destined' for the second princess, the so-called main character of the 'Eternal Empress' world.

Unlike usual missions in Paradise, this was one of its kind.

Perhaps that's why, a lot of information about the world was given.

['God', the perfect being, created the world, gave life and death, good and evil, joy and grief.

He is both the light and darkness, wind and fire, the first breeze at life and the final whimper at death.

He is also every good and bad, equally balanced.

Once the world began and started to run on its own, however, the balance was broken.

If life and death are equal, then why did a dead planet give birth to life and why is the life in it increasing, evolving and thriving?

At any instance since the beginning of creation, life continued to exceed death and with the dawn of sentient civilization, the complexity of life and richness rose to unprecedented proportions.

This created a terrible imbalance that upset even 'God' himself was affected.

He split into two.

The good, the guardian, wanted to protect the living and evil, the destroyer, wanted to destroy.

Since everything came from God himself, the existence of more life than death meant that the good was weaker than his evil counterpart.

The battle between them was tragic but inevitable.

The guardian didn't take back his powers from the living and used all of his powers to severely injure the destroyer. And the destroyer, suffering terrible injuries, went into a long hibernation.

Good, the guardian died. But not in his entirety.

Both from the story perspective:

- Why would the devil break the seal?

- Where did the regression ring come from?

- Can the devil release be prevented?

- If not, can the devil be sealed again? Or better, killed?

This, in itself was a very tough thing to do. No one before him had succeeded in clearing this world anyway.

They all died.

'Not by normal death though.' Varian spun the ring on his finger.

The other players who entered this world must've also acquired the regression ring. It's common sense.

So, neither he nor they would die after being killed. They'd just regress.

But what if he continues to die, again and again and again?

He'd be driven insane.

And that's why, since he opened his eyes in this world, the paradise system, a quiet message kept floating.

[Suicide Assist Window

End the pain, embrace the darkness and drown in despair.]

Varian took a breath to stop himself from cussing.

Not only did he have to solve the story, he'd have to do it while killing those two bastards.

Or else, once he solved the world, everyone would be thrown out since the one who initiated the mission—Varian—achieved the objective.

And in Paradise, those two rank 9s would be after Isadora's life again. Against stronger, prepared enemies, Varian didn't think he had a chance.

So, he'd have to end them here.

If those two really entered Paradise with their real bodies, then great. Killing them here would end their threat once and for all.

It's also possible that it's a clone. But Paradise had a very strict standard on how much 'soul' a clone should contain to count as a participant. As a result, even the death of this clone would be harmful to the main body.

And with the clones out of Paradise, he and Isadora would be safe until they leave this place.

So, to get out of this world and Paradise, he'd have to solve the story and the enemies.

'Defeating an evil god and destroying a transmigrated powerhouse, heh. Another tuesday for m—fuck!'

Varian tried to encourage himself but it only reminded him of how difficult his life had been.

He had been running without any break.

Right from the Centaurus civil conflict to the envoys to the princes to the world tree to the Pala kingdom, it's been less than a year, like what? Five months? Six months? Even seven months? Still less than a year. And he'd been through so much already.

Varian closed his eyes and decided to some relaxing theraphy to unload the steam.

[Logos, you daughter of a bit—]

What better way to unload pressures than to curse the one responsible for the mess?
