The Only Chance

[That's what the System wants to ask. What just happened? Your soul is incredibly shaken and the Ignis path is growing at a ridiculous pace.

Even the paths of space and time…death and life?

What the heck is happening?

Don't tell me you had an enlightenment after listening to those devil's whispers?

And why everything except Order and Chaos? These are the paths you're supposed to be good at!]

Logos voiced its genuine skepticism.

Varian's lips trembled and his pupils dilated in utter shock.

'Whatever happened…Logos didn't notice…couldn't notice…'

For a moment, it struck him that perhaps whatever he was doing was all futile.

Even if he had slivers, he's but a mortal. He might reach rank 2, maybe even the mythical rank 3.

But then what?

The slivers came from the universe. They were bound to it. And remained subordinate to its greatness.

In the end, they would return to the universe.
