Chaos Devourer System-Chapter 507 Left With Two Choices...
507 Left With Two Choices...
" 'Tch, what a rip-off...' Zeras thought to himself as he continued walking steadily.
[What a very nice way for the Host to welcome back the system after his betrayal of it...]
'Can you just drop the "Host" part and call me Zeras? We both know the truth, so why keep playing dumb?' Zeras retorted as he resumed his pace.

[Are you just trying to skim over the fact that I trusted you and entered your mouth only for you to devour me?]
'Hey sys, you're the villain here, not me. You told me when we met that your single purpose was to turn the Host into the strongest powerhouse, whether the Host liked it or not.
But did you mention you wanted to make me strong so one day you'd gain control over my body and achieve a new rebirth? Then go on the lan of your own goal, whatever it is. You betrayed me the moment we met, and you kept at it for 15 years straight. What am I supposed to do? Just skim over the fact that I trusted you without a single shred of doubt for 15 years straight when all this time, the thought of betrayal was in your mind...'
[You bastard!]
'So you see, system, I have learned you're nothing more than a facade. But what was I expecting, every evolution into a Chaos Devourer I have always felt it.
That change. It is so incredibly small, but I can feel my body roaring out to him not to evolve even though Evolution increases my strength so crazily.
My body tells me that you're great evil. Even though you try to look harmless and seemingly programmed. I'm not really surprised that you would harbor the thought of taking over my body one day. And now you're fumbling over the fact that I devoured you. If your mission was completed, then that would mean me getting completely wiped out from existence and you possessing everything I have! That's a much worse fate than getting trapped in someone's soul space,' Zeras said with an unbothered expression as he kept climbing the long steps, silent and focused, which seemed strange to Senna who noticed the visible change.
[That doesn't change the fact that you're a spineless coward.]
'So sad. If you had told me that word around three months ago, I would have been devastated for weeks. But now, tsk, tsk, being called a coward by an entity like you is irrelevant. I just want us to get our priorities straight here, system, if this association will last long...'
[It won't only last long, you bastard. It will last forever!!!] The system shot back as Zeras grinned.
'Firstly, now I know your purpose, which is to one day take over my body! And unless I get hit on the head, wait, I've actually been hit on the head so many times.
Unless I am stupid, then, I naturally would do anything to make sure my soul stays in my body.
Which means what, the relationship between me and you will remain forever predatory! You trying to take over my body, I trying my best to make sure all your efforts are in vain. Like that, we will both remain on the starting lane of growth till our enemy comes and wipes us out...'
'And don't give me that, "you're the only one that will die, the system would simply go and look for a host." We both now know that that is a lie. You're not going anywhere. Once I die, you also die, same goals that we both harbor. You can call me a bastard if that's the truth.
[You bastard!!!]
'Hehe. So since a predatory association will lead to eventual annihilation. Then I propose something ingenious. Something that will resolve both our trouble...' Zeras said with a grin as he watched the system grow quiet.
'You have a goal, and I have a goal. To complete your own goal, you need my body. To achieve my own goal, I need your guidance. Then why not help each other out.'
[In what way?]
[In the way of a master to his disciple. A master gets gravely injured in a war or crippled or betrayed, or in whatever way the need for a goal might come. He knows he is useless, save for his mighty guidance. So what does he do in that situation? He doesn't go out and look for a body to take over.
No.
He goes out and looks for an infant who has in the same way as him, got betrayed by his own enemy. Then he would impart all his teachings onto that child and pass onto him his ultimate goal, as his last wish. Then the man's name will once again ring clear. His enemies wouldn't see an infant trained by a master. They would see the master himself, this time in a younger body and more than ready to annihilate each of them. That is how a goal is passed on.
'You betrayed me system, and I also betrayed you. Now we're back on a smooth starting line. From here onward, we can choose to keep monitoring the other. Watching out for each other's moves and trying to make sure the other doesn't get his hands on a way to annihilate us. Or we can choose to come together as one, and help each other out. Pass onto me all of your guidance and also your ultimate goal, and watch as I tear everything down to realize that goal...' Zeras said with conviction and determination, and if the system had an eye, it would have flashed from the genuineness of his words.
Zeras wasn't joking when he said that. The system was back. And this time, it would be as vigilant as ever to him. It was better for him to no longer have the system completely. But having a revengeful system will no doubt in one way or the other stunt his growth. His enemies don't care whether he had an evil system in his head or not. They would show no mercy when they raise their blades.
So it all leads to two choices for Zeras.
