“Monstrous geniuses, huh?” Zeras mused before shrugging.
“You look overconfident in yourself. Like you have never lost a battle before…” Audrey said as Zeras chuckled.
“Never lost a battle? I have lost many battles, battles where I had no choice but to run with my tail between my legs and beg for my legs to move five tis faster so I can escape!” Zeras said as Audrey burst into boisterous laughter.
“Then what gives you so much confidence? You exude an aura of not caring at all about anything. Almost like you just remain indifferent to the entire world. I am a True Universe Origin rank and judging from D’arvey’s description of your strength. It is safe to say that you’re at the Pseudo-universe origin rank. Yet, I don’t feel that at all. It feels like I’m talking to my equal. There’s no pressure of the weak and the strong at all…” Audrey said as Zeras chuckled.
“I really have lost many battles, but all those battles, they are to people who are just too above in cultivation. Just so far away from my league…” Zeras said as his eyes flashed and he rembered his battles with Adrian, with Shima, with the shadow walker devil, with Demorgogon. They were all devastatingly strong and just too far above him.
“That said, I have never lost a battle with a person that is present within my own cultivation base. That’s probably what gives confidence…” Zeras said with an unbothered expression. But in truth, that was a lie.
His confidence ca sted just how many life and death situations he had scraped past. How many tis he had fallen and risen and fallen once more. Abandoned, left to die, beaten to a pulp, underestimated, crippled, abandoned once more.
It was an endless circle that just kept repeating, each one enough to make so cultivators never rise up again. Yet, he had gone through the majority of them more than once.
It was a devastating experience, almost like soone or sothing was purposefully testing him. But still, he was standing right now, and that was what gave him confidence.
“Hmmm, that’s comndable. Hopefully you’re able to keep that record once you partake in the competition…” Audrey said as Zeras smiled and didn’t respond.
“You said the Divine Battle Sect tests your combat ability, right? Then what about the other two sects, what does the Divine Aether Sect test?” Zeras asked, already deciding which sect he would probably choose among those three.
“The Divine Aether Sects are a sect that cultivates Divine Power. Like elents, attributes, energies. They are the absolute opposite of the Divine Battle sect that cultivates the body. If the Divine Battle sect can be said to be a school of warriors, then the Divine Aether sects can be said to be a school of mages…” Audrey said as Zeras gave a nod of understanding. That was pretty much what he expected judging by their nas.
“And it might be more surprising, but the students of the Divine Aether sects are just as powerful as the students of the Divine Battle Sect. They are not in any way weaker…” Audrey said to him as Zeras gave a nod.
The only reason why he might want to join such a sect was if he wanted to focus on his origin wrath lightning. Apart from that, he didn’t have much affinity with the Divine Battle sect.
“And what about the Thousand Transformation sect?” Zeras asked as Audrey’s eyes flashed.
“The Thousand Transformation sect is a mystery sect. They only accept people possessing special physiques, irrespective of what they excel in. Battle warriors, Mages? You’ll find them all mashed together in the Thousand Transformation sect. The Thousand Transformation, unlike the other two sects, focuses mainly on cultivating the laws of this world.
“Do you know what a law is?” Audrey asked as he shifted his hand to the side and pointed at the bare rocky ground. Imdiately, a green aura coated his hands, and right in front of Zeras’ eyes, he watched a single flower begin growing from the bare ground.
“We Giarans excel mostly at the law of life. That is one of the applications of it, and that is what the Thousand Transformation focuses on.
Comprehending those laws that make up our world. I hear that their mission for creating the sect is a very strange one and they get mocked by the other sects for it…” Audrey said, piquing Zeras’ curiosity.
“Oh, and what is that?” He asked with a curious smile.
“To raise a man into a god!” Audrey said, chuckling mockingly at himself, yet he watched as Zeras stood rooted to where he was…
“Raising a man into a god! Raising a man into a god! Raising a man into a god! Raising a man into a god!…” Those words played continuously in Zeras’ head with no end. And with every repetition, his heart violently pumped in his chest.
BADUMP
BAADUUMP
BAADDDUUUMP
“Zeras, are you okay?” Audrey asked as he looked at Zeras and his eyes contained shock.
From Zeras’ eyes and nose were currently dripping with dark blood, and suddenly he watched as Zeras began moving erratically backwards.
“What the hell is wrong with you, are you okay?” The voice rang out to Zeras but it was so far away.
“Raising a man to be a god! Raising a man to be a god! Raising a man to be a god!” The words were like a ten thousand warriors roaring into his head as his hands clasped tightly against his head and Zeras fell onto his knees.
[ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!]

[Host body is starting to collapse!]

[Regeneration is still not enough!]
[A Supre power is trying to lock on the Host!]
[System’s Security Protocol Has Been Triggered]
[Forcefully Shutting down Host in 3…2..1.]
And imdiately, Zeras’ body dropped down to the ground as if dead, as dark blood kept oozing out from his senses.
Yet as Audrey carried him and ran into the distance with his fastest speed, he failed to notice that golden flicker.
That flicker from the necklace on Zeras’ neck!
