Chapter 284 283- Future Plan| Zach's Next Move
"As for Zoe, she was only one year old, so she didn't understand what was happening, but she rembered everything. And as she grew up, she realized what had happened that day."
"It seems she is a smart girl."
"She is. Her IQ is probably more than , and her soul powers are definitely more than even though she is still ten years old… or maybe 11…"
"Why, though? Aren't you the older one?" Aurora asked curiously.
"Well… she awakened her soul powers when she was not even a year old. So that naturally boosted her growth from the start. And her soul is a reincarnation… or rather, her soul contains a fragnt of an ancient being, so… yeah, she is blessed too."
Aurora pondered for a while and then asked, "So let's say she is on the sa level of strength as you—"
"Uhh.. no. I am stronger than her. She only has more soul powers, and that's just like having a fancy purse, but there is nothing in it," Zach quipped to defend his dominance.
"Okay… I was just giving an example." Aurora cleared her throat and continued, "If she is so smart and strong at the age of 11, she will beco stronger than you when she reaches adulthood, am I right?"
"I am not sure." Zach shrugged and said, "She could be, or maybe not."
Aurora squinted her eyes at Zach and asked with a judging look on her face, "Are you jealous of her?"
"No."
"You replied instantly… almost as if you had already expected to ask this question…"
"Listen, the thing is… so entities want Zoe to beco the pillar of the mortal realm— which is the world we live in." After a br4eif pause, Zach continued, "Now before you ask 'What are the pillars?', I will answer you myself."
"..."
"Pillars are the protectors of the realm. They make rules and laws that every being has to abide by. Although now it's only applicable to those who are aware of them, such as people like and others who possess powers."
"What happens if soone breaks the rules?" Aurora asked curiously.
"They get punished, duh!"
"Then wouldn't they purposefully stay oblivious of the laws and the rules? If they don't know them, they can't break them… right?"
Zach nodded and sighed in response.
"So they want your sister to beco a pillar to protect the world from… whatever?"
"Yeah. There are 12 pillars in total, and my father was one of them," Zach stated. "Lyda was also one of them, but she retired, and father was selected as one."
"Oh!" Aurora suddenly exclaid and said, "So they want your sister to take your father's position?"
"Yeah, and I will try my best to stop that. I am not letting my sister end the sa fate as fathers and the other pillars…" Zach uttered in a solemn voice as he recalled the promise he made to Zoe 10 days before Gods' Impact occurred.
"But can't they make you one…. I an… if you are interested… if not…"
"If I beco one, I wouldn't be able to spend ti with you girls…"
Aurora hugged Zach and said, "I take that back!"
"Heh!" Zach scoffed softly and stroked AUrora's hair as he continued, "I want to free the other 11 pillars too."
"Did they not beco a pillar because they wanted to?"
"No.." Zach shook his head and said, "Their predecessor selects them, and they were selected by theirs…"
"This is the sa as Aquarius… right? She is forced to beco the Sea Goddess, and she has no choice but to accept that…" Aurora uttered in a low voice.
"Yeah. And I plan to change all that. I will free everyone from their roles and let them do whatever they want. I will break the order and make a new one, a better one… Zach uttered in a solemn voice.
"How do you plan to do that?"
"Firstly, I will have to get strong, and for that, I will have to gather more followers. The more the people worship , the higher my soul powers would beco. And I need an abundant amount of soul powers to use my blessings," Zach asserted.
To use his blessings, Zach needed to use soul powers. But it wasn't as though he wouldn't be able to use his blessings without the soul powers. He would still be able to use them, but the blessings would suck out his life source without any soul powers, which was not a great way to use blessings.
The sa thing happened with Aurora when she used Lyda's blessings with skills, which drained her life force. Luckily, Lyda managed to save her in the nick of the mont.
"What was that form you manifested when you returned from the dungeon expedition? Your hands and hair were on fire…"
"That was the result of Phoenix's blessings," Zach responded in a calm voice.
"Xie Lua's blessings, am I right?" Aurora grinned and said," Let's call your form— Phoenix Mode."
"That also reminds of sothing I need to ask her."
"Your gloves?"
"That too. But I want to ask her about what exactly happened that day. And why did the sun god attack us? Even if father was planning to attack the heavens, his life wasn't in danger, so why did he interfere?"
Aurora placed her hand on Zach's cheek and said, "You should take it slowly. I don't want you to stress out and make wrong choices."
Zach grabbed Aurora's hand and kissed it before saying, "I have already made plans on what I am going to do next."
"What…?" Aurora asked hesitantly, seemingly afraid of knowing the answer.
"Revenge…"
"On the sun god…?"
"On the hell…"
"Hmmm?"
Zach looked at Aurora's body and smiled wryly as he said, "They are the ones responsible for your current situation."
"But the demon invasion ended already. And you already killed all the demons who invaded this realm…" Aurora uttered in a low voice, seemingly confused.
"Those demons were re pawns, puppets sent by their leader— the demon king. I am going to find a way to open that crack again and invade hell."
"...!"
"I am going to slay the demon king!"
