Paths of Extinction Chapter 141 Poison Emperor
“You were looking for me?”Zeke grinned as the Shortbow appeared in his hand. Without waiting for a response from the speechless Viper, he pulled onto his new weapon’s strings and fired a rain of arrows.The small yet lightning fast arrows glowed in the dark, letting out blue sparks as they accurately hit all the startled cultists inside.In literally fifteen seconds, Zeke had knocked down all 19 cultists, leaving only Signora and Viper, who stood at the far back.“Zeke Orland.”“Yes. That’s my name.”Zeke sneered mockingly, seemingly enjoying the dumbfounded look on the man’s wrinkled face.With steady steps, he approached the two Red Masks. He glanced at Signora, but she snorted and haughtily said,“How stupid can you be? Coming right into our nest.”Orbs made of pure white light appeared behind her, spinning clockwise and ready to fire.Viper too, didn’t waste time to utter any monologues. The battle came to a start when Zeke jumped in the air and fired a torrent of shiny lightnin
Paths of Extinction Chapter 142 Reformed Republic
It wasn’t the right time nor place to think about the new path. Nevertheless, Zeke was almost sure he wasn’t going to take it. Fortunately, it wasn’t time-gated so he wasn’t forced to make an urgent decision. Furthermore, abandoning all his available paths and skills was too much of a loss, even if the Poison Emperor would offer equally strong skills, they wouldn’t be as diverse as his current ones. Shortly after Red Mask Viper died, loud sounds of military trucks could be heard outside. Teresa King and a couple of Special Agents barged into the warehouse but they didn’t attack. When her remaining eye landed on the lifeless corpse of Viper, the Minister grinned and started clapping her hands as she approached the deadpan youth. “I had no doubt that you’ll take him down. A shame I couldn’t witness it.” In response, Zeke shrugged and responded, “Technically, I wasn’t the one who killed him.” He subtly motioned toward Velvet Signora, who wore a red mask that covered her upper face
Paths of Extinction Chapter 143 His 'Children'
The talk between Zeke and Teresa lasted for three long hours. The Minister of External Affairs explained everything; Whom to trust and whom to be suspicious of, how to respond to General Zhang if he were to try and dissuade Zeke, the secret location to meet up with the members of the Special Forces Expedition Team, and so on…By the end of it, Zeke had most of his questions answered. As was his wont, he still harboured a bit of suspicion toward Teresa, nevertheless, he felt she was more trustworthy than the General.Her methods might be too extreme, but at least she didn’t force anything on him and was more than willing to elaborate any and all things, whether it was her motives or trivial stuff.“Take care of yourself, Zeke. From now on, Special Agent Elizabeth will be our ‘middle-man’, so to speak.”“Alright.”He nodded, his eyes cursory glancing at the stoic woman standing near the door. In terms of combat strength, Elizabeth might not be the strongest, but she was superior to Kat
Paths of Extinction Chapter 144 Birthday and Rejection
“Does it hurt anywhere?”Within the newly-constructed laboratory at the basement of the building, Red Mask Wolf was sitting across Angel and checking her pulse as she shook her head in response.The Alchemical treatment has been proceedingly amazingly well, though most credit was from the artifact provided by Zeke. It has significantly facilitated the use of ‘Alchemy’ for Wolf and rendered him capable of conducting a treatment for Angel.It hasn’t been long, but the petite girl looked considerably better. She had already started trying to talk by letting out incoherent words.It wasn’t enough to hold a basic conversation, nevertheless, it was a massive improvement.“I bought you a gift, Angel! Come with me!”Signora held the girl’s hands and took her to the office, leaving Zeke and Wolf alone.The beastmen scientist wryly smiled toward the youth before explaining,“There have been no mishaps, fortunately. In two weeks, her body will be fully ‘functional’ and no longer suffer from the
Paths of Extinction Chapter 145 Big Breasts
12th of August.It has been ten days since Zeke’s birthday party, and a week since the 4th examination of the Paths of Extinctions System, conducted in the same place: The Extinction Order.Along with the Seat of Criminality and Seat of Death, Zeke faced off against a double-headed black snake that can petrify people with its gaze.The fight was short-lived and the beast was ripped apart by the voltage and Velvet’s shiny magical ability.All in all, it was a relatively easy fight that rewarded Zeke with an artifact. A magical Shortbow, 2nd-Grade and imbued with Wind Magic.It looked fancy and exquisite, but he used ‘Bow Collector’ to absorb it, subsequently increasing his Agility and Aether stats by 20 and 10 respectively.There was no development from any of Zeke’s vengeful opponents such as the Vyrsan Household or the Ascetic Blasphemers. Therefore, he swiftly prepared himself for the upcoming long trip.“I promise I’ll be back as soon as I can, ‘kay?”Angel sat on his lap, lookin
Paths of Extinction Chapter 146 The Wooders
The Far Edge Province, commonly known as the Kingsmen’s Ruins, was a relatively medium-sized region directly North of the heart of the Serey Zhan Empire.It neighbored the Abyss Ocean and despite being under the control of the Imperials, it was infested with bandits and criminals.It was a lawless place where crime ran rampants, totally unchecked or resisted.In name, the Kingsmen’s Ruins was part of the empire, but it was ignored and left to rot along with its greedy and cold-blooded inhabitants.Unlike the other notoriously dangerous regions such as the Living Forest, the Kingsmen’s Ruins earned its infamy due to the abundance of immortal bandits and merciless killers.It wasn’t a place any merchant would go to, nor was it a place for the wealthy people to sight see at.Most fascinating of all was that the land itself had plenty of resources such as oil and fertile lands, which made the morally evil individuals settle there and earn a living through illegal trade and so on.It was a
Paths of Extinction Chapter 147 Mad Dogs
Soon, the neighing of the horses could be heard by everyone, which made the children flee to their tents and hide all the food. Alas, the white van was in plain sight, parked next to the wooden fence.Zeke saw Destiny urged everyone to hide while she picked her wooden spear, her hands trembling ever-so-slightly.Celestia obviously picked up on the girl’s perturbed expression, but she didn’t say anything.“You should go. Come back later, I promise I’ll tell you whatever you want.”“It’s too late now.” Zeke grinned and didn’t budge from his position. “Also, why should we leave? We didn’t do anything wrong.”Destiny wanted to argue back but there was no time. The horses had climbed the small valley and stopped near the Wooders’ camp.In total, there were 6 horses, all muscular and bigger than average. However, they were hideous, dirty, and let out the putrid smell of feces, piss, and alcohol.“Ohohoho! I told you they'll bring up something good if we push them, Valo!”A slim and lanky m
Paths of Extinction Chapter 148 The Silver Daggers
“Thank you!”Destiny and all the children bowed towards Zeke and Celestia. Not only did they give them a lot of food and water, but they also beat Valo and his goons.The bandits had awakened from their premature slumber, but they were handcuffed and thrown to the cramped back of Stella.“You don’t have to move out of here or do anything. We’ll be heading to the base of Mad Dogs to talk with their leader.”Celestia chatted with the lively children for a bit before getting into the driver’s seat.“They’re good children. It’s unfortunate that they have to live like this.”She paused for a bit before adding, “I’ll talk to my father when I’m back home. He has contacts in the empire.”“Yeah, you do that. Shall we go?”Zeke shrugged and turned his head to the back, gazing at the frightened piss-smelling men clustered together like chicken.With his hand, he beckoned Valo, who obediently crawled closer while forcing a smile.“Y-yes… sir?”“You’ll take us to your base, okay?”“O-of course, si

Chapter 239 Sanctus Lucerna
“I and Hephradet personally studied it, but found nothing. Here you go.”Kleya handed back the strange item back to Zeke.“There’s no Aether or any other foreign energy inside. We couldn’t determine its purpose.”“I see. Thank you anyway.”“Don’t worry about it. You should rest more or else I’ll never hear the end of it from Jenny.”Zeke wryly smiled and nodded. His mother kept nagging him day and night, telling him to rest and not continuously wander around the castle checking on everyone and making sure there were no issues.His body was already healthy and he felt no odd disturbances or unexpected awakenings. Everything is as normal as it could be.Just as Kleya left the room, Jennifer came in. Behind her was a red-faced Celestia, which made Zeke frown.“Mom?”Surprisingly, Jennifer grabbed his ear and pulled him to the couch.“Did I not tell you to overdo it?”“W-what? I haven’t done anything!”“That’s not what she told me!”Celestia stood a distance away, her head lowered in emba

Chapter 238 Zeke and Azmer
“It’s still too early to assess everything, but… over 80% of the entire planet’s population died.” Kleya, whose eyes were a bit red and her face was filled with fatigue, sat across Zeke and Celestia. “And Her Majesty?” When she heard his question, Kleya lowered her head and held herself back from crying. “We… we think she died fighting the System. It’s no longer possible to return to the Unending Star, so we decided to acknowledge that Her Majesty was amongst those who had fallen there.” “I’m sorry.” “Don’t be. She… she died protecting what she believed in. Us. Not just the Witch Association but all of the Aether Planet.” Zeke sighed, feeling sorry when he saw Kleya like that. The Witch Queen was the pillar of the Witch Association, their respected leader. It was especially so for Kleya and the other 6-star Witches, excluding Jennifer. “A-anyway, the situation at the capital of the Nezulian Republic remains the same. We’re still looking for a way to cancel that Frost Spell cast

Chapter 237 The 5th User
“Huff… huff…” With a hand pressed against his hurting chest, Zeke dragged his tired feet toward the fallen copy. The copy’s head turned to look at him, its eyeballs, which looked as if they were to pop-out, were letting out the familiar yet incredibly dim crimson light. “We had completed our objective. There was nothing left for Us to do.” “That didn’t give you the right to wipe entire civilizations.” “You… wouldn’t understand, Zeke Orland.” Unlike earlier, the System spoke through the copy’s mouth. Its charred and cut lips moved in an unnatural way, but the voice was identical to Zeke’s. “We had succeeded. We had saved the world. Then, We understood that our creation, our existence was only for that purpose. That We were a tool destined to cease existing.” “...” “We could not tolerate that.” “So you manifested a will of your own?” In response to that, a self-deprecating laugh came from the copy. “After choosing our first User, we saw how the Races we were supposed to prote

Chapter 236 The Phoenix
While the Phoenix battled the System in the Cursed Plains of the Unending Star, Zeke’s fight against his copy continued.Things took a turn for the worst when the Crown was crushed and the System’s powers dramatically increased. Nevertheless, Zeke didn’t lose yet. His body was flung and then crashed into the ground, blood gushing out from his shoulder and back.Even then, he slowly stood up and grinned toward the System.“Still fighting the good fight.”The previously calm ‘copy’, or at least the System’s disembodied voice, grew agitated as Zeke refused to remain on the ground.“My will is not so easily broken.”[Voltage King]Zeke’s eyes shone with an azure light as his voltage grew silent and became white.[Divine Champion][Divine Sreyzhanian Arts]Just as he charged at the System again, its body suddenly turned stiff as if being immobilized by something.The item handed by Kayro Ol Zerg flashed from Zeke’s pocket.[Fist of Fury]Zeke’s fists, glowing orange and wrapped in condens

Chapter 235 The God's Spear
“What’s wrong? I thought you were invincible in your domain.”Zeke’s taunt had no effect, at least not at first. The System stood straight and looked down on its wounded body.“You know nothing of Us.”The copy raised its hand, and very soon, something familiar appeared.It was a tangible object of an odd-shape, but Zeke knew what it was. The Crown.“You will know what it is to be helpless and defeated, 5th user.”“You’re still talking?”Zeke let out a smile and charged forth, his fists wrapped by thick voltage.The System crushed the crown as the red voltage manifested and exploded in an uncontrollable manner.…“Is it done?”Julia Lopmore furrowed her brows as she looked at the enemy, whose body was crushed, burned, and almost unrecognisable. It wasn’t a body anymore, but a mass of flesh and poison.The silence lasted for a very short time as the Crown also appeared in reality.“Stop it!” Shouted Frederic as took out a blue bead, one with the same size and shape that Nicneven had pr

Xiao, with his spear in hand, actually deflected the Divine Thunder before safely landing on the ground.Several people appeared close to the Witch Queen. As she swept her eyes across the six people that unexpectedly showed up here.“Your Majesty, we’re here to lend a hand.” Frederic Whitefort smirked and looked at her as he muttered those words. He had brought along Azmer, Xiao, Celestia, Ava, and Julia Lopmore.“You… how ar-”“We can save that talk for later, eh?”Frederic motioned toward Zeke, who was standing there and staring back at them with a hollow expression.“As I’m the weakest of the bunch, I’ll just stay behind and offer assistance… as well as try to heal Her Majesty.”The Vagabond knelt next to Nicnteven and extended his hand towards her. He let out a warm and serene white light, which made her feel rejuvenated. It was Holy Magic, something which she didn’t know he could use.“Wouldn’t Zeke die if we tried to kill the System?” Asked Julia while furrowing her brows.“Not

Chapter 233 The Seat of Magic
Right after the destruction of the Heart of the Dead Ends, Zeke stood there, seemingly in a daze.The Witch Queen stared at him intensely, and when his eyes glowed with a crimson light, she immediately attacked.Jonathan roared and rushed as well, a creeping Darkness exploding from his hands.Nicneven struck out from afar, unleashing a blazing wave of flames, fused with a spinning thick beam of Ice-aspected energy.The Paths of Extinction System, which had taken control of Zeke’s body, retaliated with full-force as well.Dozens of thunderbolts erupted from Zeke’s raised hand, blasting Jonathan back and clashing with the Queen’s magic.“The Seat of Magic.” Muttered a voice that didn’t resemble Zeke albeit speaking from his mouth.It was emotionless and cold, one which no living being would be able to imitate.[Voltage Zap]Using such an elementary skill, the System shot innumerable bolts that arched in the air and concentrated on Nicneven.She jumped out of the way and performed a stra

Chapter 232 The End of the 2nd Cycle
“I know this is a lot to take in, Zeke Orland. But, I want you to trust me. Know that I have your best interest in heart and I wouldn’t have come unless necessary. I could’ve let you venture alone and complete your objective, after which you’ll be killed by your own System.”Zeke pointed his open hand toward the incoming shades.[Voltage King]A barrage of lightning bolts was unleashed, piercing through the shades and extinguishing them. They vaporised in an instant, leaving only a bit of red fog.The Dead Ends and the Paths of Extinction System, they both had that unique and ominous crimson light. However, Zeke thought it was just a coincidence.Now that the truth was revealed to him, he felt a bit lost. It wasn’t that much of a surprise that his System was dangerous or a threat as he had already suspected as much after learning about Edward Heart.Nevertheless, the fact that it was a tool from the very beginning did make him feel weak and clueless.An eerie silence flowed between Ze

Chapter 231 The Paths of Extinction System
Thanks to the thunderstorm Zeke had previously summoned, the three of them managed to reach and enter the Black Spike. Strangely enough, the entrance of the spire was fully-opened as if beckoning them inside. “This looks man-made.” “Because it is.” Answered Nicneven as she held the black katana with one hand and controlled five differently-colored elemental orb with the other. The interior of the black spike was empty but particularly eerie. Everything was black and except a spiralling staircase that led to the top, there was nothing else, not even the crimson fog. “Who made it?” “...” “Why do you refuse to tell me anything, Your Majesty? What is the Dead Ends? Who created it?” “You do not need to concern yourself with that. Just destroy the Hearts and everything will end.” Her immediate dismissal did irritate him, but he didn’t press her for answers he knew she wouldn’t give. “This is the final stretch. Jonathan, take the vanguard.” “Yes, Your Majesty.” Jonathan pushed bac
