Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 755: The Truth

“If this earring is what you have come for, then the chances of you being able to obtain it, and its true powers are nil because only in my hands can its true power be given.”

“The earring itself is nothing but a shell to hide the power contained within, and possessed by me…”

“But your series of small steps and actions will make you deserving of it…”

She said to him as she laid down her watering can and walked towards him.

“When you brought that girl, Felicie, here.”

“She was the key that could break me open from my own bondage.”

“Bringing an ordinary mortal on such a long journey must have been hard for someone of your strength, but you pulled it off and brought her.”

“In doing so, you automatically ensured my own freedom.”

“Little Faerie here told me about you, and made mention of her confusions, which is your abnormality.”

“Once I sighted your face, I could immediately guess who you are and what you came here for.”

Unconsciously, Zeras turned to look at the buzzing faerie behind her, who huffed at him.

It didn’t seem like the faerie had much fancy for him.

“Still, simply indirectly helping me break open from my seal wouldn’t mean I would hand the power to you.”

“What really made up my resolve was the fact that you went to the shadow realm to bring back Felicie’s father.”

“You could have simply snatched the ring away from Felicie like any reasonable otherworlder would do and left the realm.”

“But you didn’t, instead rescuing Felicie’s father and reuniting both father and daughter once more.”

“You have not only worked hard, but you also did what was right to obtain the ring.”

“So I will be giving it to you…” She said as she gently handed the ring to Zeras, who took it and stared curiously at it.

He could see the various runes that adorned the surface of the ring, and from within, he could sense a mysterious and unfathomable power.

‘So this is what he wanted. I wonder what the use is even…’ Zeras mused silently to himself, but he kept the ring away before heaving out a little.

Finally, he had been able to perform the quest given to him by his other. Now he could leave this realm.

But still, there were a few questions lingering in his mind that he wanted to ask.

Questions like:

What did the lady have to do with his other self?

Just who was his other self?

What was the mention of a ‘this life’ that she had formerly stated?

Just what was so important about the ring that was given to him?

And it seemed the woman before him should possess his answers.

Zeras stared into her orange eyes, and his lips parted, but before he could say the word, he was stopped.

“I know what you want, and I do have the answers.” She paused, then continued, “But the revelation is not up to me. It will be best if he himself revealed everything to you.”

” I’m guessing he’s asking you to do this to test your worthiness of the answers you seek.”

“Just give him back the ring, and I think he should reveal a thing or two to you.” She said, showing her refusal, and Zeras couldn’t help but agree.

He did feel a bit of disappointment though, but he shrugged off quickly.

“A little help for you on the way…” She suddenly said as she handed over to him a simple card.

Zeras grabbed it, and the words escaped his lips.

“A teleportation card?”

The moment he said that, the space around him collapsed, and he disappeared from where he was, causing serenity to return to the area once more.

The orange-haired woman looked at the place where he disappeared from, her eyes staring at the empty space before she turned back, picking up her watering can, and continuing what she was previously doing.

“Another Era of Chaos is just over the horizon. Wonder if you will prevail this time, King.”

—

When Zeras opened his eyes, he was faced with the sight of a troubled Felicie with her father.

“Zeras…” Felicie called out, tears raining down her cheeks as she ran towards him, but it seemed she remembered something, causing her to stop just a few inches away from him at the last second.

“I… I’m sorry.” She tried explaining but grew silent when she felt a hand pull her into a warm hug.

“It’s fine…” The voice was but a whisper, and she didn’t know why, but it brought the greatest peace to her being.

The hug lasted for a few seconds before eventually, Felicie wiped her tears off, and she stepped back from him.

“How may I repay you for your help, young man?” The voice sounded from the side as Zeras turned to look at Jeffrey.

In the man’s eyes was the greatest amount of gratitude that he had ever seen in a person.

“I have nothing in mind now. But maybe sometime in the future…” He replied.

Even though he would probably need nothing from an ordinary mortal until the end of time, it would be a little disrespectful to outright refuse.

“Then I will be waiting until then…” He replied.

And Zeras brought out the teleportation card that he was given.

All the otherworlders in the area had already left, and he also saw no reason to keep staying here.

So he stretched forth his hand to the man and Felicie, and they all gave hold before proceeding to crush the teleportation card.

Immediately, a curved runic circle appeared beneath their feet, and a brilliant orange light covered the entire space.

In less than five seconds, the light flared out powerfully, concealing the figures of the trio, but just as quickly, it settled down, and this time, the trio’s figures had completely disappeared.

Once more, the area returned to its initial calmness.

The Chaos had settled finally, and the Tower of God Trial had been completed.
