Chapter 1616 Heaven or Hell

Isadora's cheeks were marked with dried up tears and her palms were still bleeding as her nails dug into her flesh.

Barely able to speak, she spat out in a weak voice she could barely recognize.

'Equilius, save him. I'll give you the slivers. Please, just save him!' The old man's face showed an apologetic expression but his eyes remained cold as ever. 'Too late. I can't do anything at this point. But I'm really happy to see you cry as he gets tortured and dies in front of you.

It's all your fault. If you only listened and did what you were supposed to instead of acting up, Varian wouldn't have died like this.

Isadora, your very creation is a curse.

Most of the scientists were dead when they created you. Pala was ravaged by a war it did not welcome. My dreams of a strong Nexus with its own slivers didn't come true and would never come true.

Worst of all, this man who never lost and reached the doors of divine ranks in a few years? Even he is getting destroyed by you. Divine Vessel, you are the problem. You gave everyone misery. Now, drown in the same misery, you wretched filth.'

Isdaora clutched her head, her body trembling as she looked at Varian's figure with a heartbreaking expression.

As he screamed in pain, over and over, her mind blanked out and she had no other thoughts at this moment. She wanted to end the nightmare. For the first time, Varian was in a battle he could not win. And there's nothing she could do to help.

Sia and Enigma were trying to come out, break out and try a desperate rescue attempt that was bound to fail. Isadora suppressed them. She wanted to die herself but she didn't want them to die. But the more her soul power clashed with theirs, the more their emotions flooded her heart.

And Isadora covered her face, wailing out her heart.

In the bleak atmosphere that filled Varian's camp, there's one more person who was also trying to save. "Mother! Mother! Please persuade father! B-Brother-in-l…Varian reached his rank in just a few years!" Aurora held her mother's feet and begged in tears. "Only a few years, mother! He has come this far! He's not like Immortal…please…he didn't even have half of that time…and he's a really good person…please save him…" Miss Calamity, whose mere name scared the geniuses of Jai Empire, cried in a pitiful voice begging her 'mother'.

"Shut up, you disgrace!" Asherah kicked her away and waved her hand. Threads of green emerged, locking up the sobbing Aurora like a cage.

"Please!" Aurora grabbed the vines and yelled. "Please save him! I'll do anything!" "I should've never let you out." With a flick of her finger, Miss Calamity disappeared. "Just stay like the vessel you are. The time has come for my rebirth." There was only one person belonging to Varian who wasn't crying. At least not voluntarily.

"Brother is winning, right?" Primula, whose eyes and ears are covered by Hazel and Helena, asked in an excited voice.

The maids tried to stop their tears but they wouldn't just stop flowing. "I'm a teenager, I don't need to barred from watching!" Primula tried to shake off their hands and if she really tried, she could've. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

But out of respect for the maids and especially the words they said, she remained compliant.

"Y-Your Majesty said you don't need to watch some brutal scenes." Helena's voice was cracking and she tried her best not to show that she was crying uncontrollably.

"Moo~ I'm not a kid, I'll tell brother after the match…even though I'm not a kid, brother still loves me, right?" Primula asked in an innocent voice.

"Yeah…" Hazel shut her eyes tight, unable to watch the horror in front of her any longer and said with a sad, sad smile. "He loves you, Primula, please remember…he loves you very much."

"I love him too! Brother is the best!" Primula said with joy and she clapped all of a sudden. "Even if I can't watch, I can still do something, right?"

Varian's consciousness was on the verge of a shut down. His memories were fleeting like a wind with only the saddest parts of his life as well as the most helpless ones playing over and over and over.

His body tortured and mutilated to the point it stopped looking human gave him pain he didn't know was possible in this world.

His soul was on the verge of sinking, falling into an eternal sleep.

…And that's when he heard something even with a molten rod melting his ears.

Which one he heard first, the voice coming through space or the one sounding through the link of synergy, he didn't know. But they all reached him. "Brother is the best! Brother is the most honest person! Brother is the most kind hearted man, he won't hurt even an ant!" Primula's cheerful voice.

"Var, we didn't know each other but grew close so quickly and before I knew it, I couldn't think of a life without you. Even though I had to fight with my bestfriend, I couldn't let go of you. I didn't tell you before, but stealing someone's best friend was the something I despised but...I loved you so much I broke the rule myself. Crazy how it works. I'm happy for everything. I regret nothing. If there is a next life, let me shower you with more love and I hope…you'll never have to face these hardships."

Her loving voice was dripped in heartwrenching pain. "Husband, thank you for proving me wrong. I thought love would not stand the test of time. But yours did. If time cannot stop love, how can mere life and death stop it?This time, it's my turn to prove. I don't need this world, I only need you.

If you're not in this world, I don't need to be either.

Heaven or Hell, let's go together."

In the empty eye sockets of Varian, a spark of black and white flashed.
