Chaos Devourer System

 

Chapter 188: The Pursuit Of Power

Zeras clenched his hands into a fist as he felt the crazy amount of strength bubbling within those hands it was like his bones had been replaced completely with diamond, making them possess unbreakable power, at least thrice his former physical strength.

Yet, he unknowingly shifted his hands towards his spine as he felt something strange about it. Now being more conscious of it than before.

“Hmmm, this is strange…” Zera’s hands felt his spine and he could feel it was strangely incredibly hard! Even much harder than the scales on his body.

“Hey system, so what’s the deal about this Slumbering Titan Genome?” Zeras asked still unsure of what the system was saying.

[According to Calculations, the Slumbering Titan Genome Is a Mythical Level Genome and in the human term could be said to be at the A-grade level. The same level as that of the nine families]

“Pretty cool, huh?” Zeras said clenching and unfurling his arm.

[Yes, and also according to the system scan. This genome is an evolving genome that would later change into a completely different genome as time goes by]

“What do you mean?”

[It’s like the comparison of the evolution of a butterfly. Right now, it’s safe to say this level of the Host’s genome is only at the Pupae stage, later it will slowly evolve until you now become a full butterfly. This genome has massive potential and according to Calculations should be able to reach the S-level in the future]

“That’s crazy. It could even almost compare to the Chaos Devourer gene…” Zeras muttered out loud, shocked.

[NO! Comparing the Slumbering Titan Genome to the Chaos Devourer gene is like comparing an ant to a titan. Completely insignificant…] The system immediately thundered out as Zeras kept his mouth shut.

“Who would have believed to immediately gaining an A-grade Gene at just the first cultivation ruins of this place? It is a heavenly place…” Zeras said as he looked at the pool of water before heading out of the cave.

Exiting the cave, through the stone wall, Zeras finally saw the large hall present around the place as he looked at the walls which were inscribed with thousands of Murals depicting a race with blue-colored scale and with the shortest about 2 meters in height. They were simply exactly like him in all aspects save for their long blue hair and their blue eyes.

Immediately Zeras felt his heartbeat rapidly increasing as he sighted the different murals.

It was the depiction of laughter, joy, and happiness as Zeras slowly walked forward sliding his fingers on the wall as his heart rate also started spiking up.

As he moved deeper and deeper into the wall, he slowly felt the air change as the picture of the murals depicted war but what was strange was the war was between the slumbering Titans themselves.

But he could see, there was something different as some of the slumbering titans now possessed strange dark eyes Instead of their normal blue color and strange dark lines were extending over their entire body as if they’d been taken control of by some strange dark power.

At the end of the cave, there was nothing. No result of the war, just those incomplete illustrations. Zeras could feel, there was more to this war than revealed but there were too many missing pieces

“Where is this?”

[According to my calculations, this is the ancestral grounds of the Slumbering Titan race. It is like their place of worship to put it in your terms, the place that hides their history and their source of power.

And you’ve absorbed all their source of power and also their history. Now, you have built inexplicable Karma with their race. As for whether this is good or bad, only the future can tell.]

More than that, Zeras could feel a pang of pain deep within his heart but he was quick to push it down. The emotions were probably due to the slumbering titan’s genes running through his blood but he wasn’t a slumbering titan to say, just inherited their gene.

Heading towards the exit, he slowly moved out of the hall as he gave one last look at the hall and was once again faced with the bridge, where there were hundreds of other statues bowing to it.

“Congratulations to the trial tester. You have passed the tests and obtained the legacy of the Slumbering Titan Genome. The cultivation method of the Slumbering Titans has been implanted deep in your genome and would naturally be awakened when the time is right. You’ll now be evicted from Mountain Gate.” The same voice as before rang out.

Immediately a blue portal bloomed to life in from of him, a dark vortex turning repeatedly in it. Without wasting a single more second, Zeras immediately walked closer to it arriving just an inch from it.

Yet, he couldn’t help but turn back at the hundreds of statues who had their heads bowed. These were actual beings who attempted the trial but failed and are now held here for the rest of eternity.

“Even though the condition is severe. They still chose to partake in the trial. Just how many lives would be lost in this pursuit of power and how many will manage to arrive at the peak?…”

The words echoed throughout the entire dojo as he entered into the vortex, his back disappearing within as the vortex disappeared setting the place back to its former calm.

Yet more seconds later, cracks began appearing on the dojo walls and slowly spread out appearing on the statues, the bridge, the ground, and all the floating mountains as the golden water source slowly dried up and the mountains themselves were soon enveloped completely in cracks.

KABOOOOM

A devastating explosion rocked the entire place as the dojo exploded followed by the statues and then the mountains.

In a blink, the formerly beautiful setting brimming with pure mana and life has been reduced to nothing but a desolate area of the void.
