508 The System's True Goal!
"Either have no system at all, just like everyone else, and make your way up the ladder, or have a system with a common benefit as you, that you both try to achieve the sa goal. The first choice is impossible, so there is only one choice left!
[You bastard! As if I'll trust you again after I just got into your stomach, re hours ago!]" The system replied as Zeras sighed.
"That's actually true, because I too find it very hard to trust you. How can I trust the guidance of soone whose forr goal was to take over my body? What if you just guide to your original goal and I lose everything?" Zeras asked as silence reigned for a while.
"But compared to getting destroyed by my enemies and not being able to achieve my goal. Then I choose the possibility of being destroyed from the inside. Even if you one day take over my body, I would do all I can to make sure I know the truth about my origin before I get my soul annihilated!" Zeras swore, the twinkling starlights in his eyes flaring brightly and undulating with light just like his heartbeat.
Even if he had a system which was trying to take over his body from the inside, nothing was going to stop him from realizing his true origin. Nothing, not even the system!
"[Hahahhhahahahahhahaha...]"
"What followed was the sound of laughter ringing out directly in Zeras's head."
"Uh?" Zeras mused out loudly as he felt sothing different this ti. The system was no longer just a line of words on a golden notification panel; Zeras could hear his laugh directly in his brain.
"[And when did you even get so smart, kiddo?]"
"Oh? Surprised that I wasn't the kid that I forrly was. Well, I kept putting all my points on intelligence without my touch. You know system, I think that is the most underrated stat on the attribute interface. The reason why I kept adding attribute points to strength and agility is due to their imdiate effectiveness. But intelligence is very difficult to gauge. But right now, if you ask which I'm willing to lose. I will choose to lose my strength once more and still keep my intelligence..." Zeras said with a smile.
"[You know what, Zeras. You win. I truly do have a goal that I want to achieve with your body..."
"Wait, what's wrong. I can hear your voice directly in my head..." Zeras called out as the system snorted.
"[I am the real entity that was awakened from the Chaos Devourer system, I have always in one way or the other interfered with you. Actually when I talk to you, I don't call you Host. It sounds stupid to . So whenever you're called by your na, it is actually talking, hehe...]"
"Hmmm, so you're the real brain behind that golden notification panel?" Zeras asked just to be sure.
"Yes, I am. And I find the need to keep hiding behind a line of words stupid at this point, so I might as well just sound it to your head directly..." The system replied as Zeras grinned.
"[So yes, I have a goal. And it is not to make your stupid ass strong one day. I don't do free jobs, nor do I have ti to be fattening up a cow with no aim of taking a good bite out of it one day...]"
"Sounds like a fair point..."
"But I also know you're no longer that dumb, At least not the dumb Zeras of 15 years now. Now you have access to your full potential. Taking over your body will be imnsely difficult, and you might even be able to find a way to get rid of before I'm able to do that. So, I'll just take your advice. I'll give you my guidance, and my ultimate goal. I'll raise you till there's close to no difference between and you, then I will sit down here and watch you raze all of them to the ground. It would be the sa thing as using my hands to kill them without raising my hands. How co I have never thought of such a devilish idea before. Hey Kid, you're a genius!!!" The system roared out loud in his head as Zeras's chest puffed out unconsciously.
"Well, I learn from the best.."
"[And a sweet tongue too...]" The voice sounded as Zeras's head grew red.
"So what is that goal of yours?" Zeras probed with curiosity burning in his eyes.
"[I feel like you're still unworthy of knowing. But just know that, I have reincarnated close to a thousand tis now, and have always had my plan thwarted in so way.]"
"You're right," Zeras said dumbstruck. "What the hell, how can you have not abandoned it even after a thousand reincarnations and a thousand failures?"
"[My flas to realize my goal can never be thwarted, not even a million reincarnations. I swear on my na, Iruma Nasgara. One day, I will tear Takamahagara down and raze it to the ground, leaving not even its ashes behind!!!]"
"WHAT!!!?" Zeras scread out this ti in shock, as he stood rooted to where he was in shock, but was awakened by Senna's death stare.
"Is anything the problem, Zeras" She asked him from above as Zeras smiled before shaking his head.
"You know, I only just realize that we're going up higher and higher..."
"And what is so alarming about that?" Senna asked suspiciously as Zeras scratched his head.
"It might be a bit embarrassing but it is actually the truth. I'm a bit, um, mindful of heights. So, you understand, right?" Zeras said as Senna raised her eyebrow.
"You're afraid of heights? Have you fallen from the sky before?" Senna asked as Zeras pursed his lips.
"Well I've heard no good stories of those that do. But I'm sure you will catch before I fall to death, right?" Zeras said as Senna rolled her eyes before resuming her walk.
"Juts shut up and walk faster..."
We all finally learned of the reason, of the system's existence. Well partly...Hehe
Golden Tickets and Power stones are greatly appreciated. Y'all can also check out my new book in my profile. The reason why I didn't post for two days.
I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
