Chaos Devourer System-Chapter 590: Devouring Stars...

Chapter 590: Devouring Stars…

He knew well that he had it!

Something deep within his soul that would have greatly awed the former him

to the core: A literally thousands of stars within his soul that have yet to grow. Was he stupid to have exchanged everything he possessed, how much he had desperately wanted his thousands of genes back, all so that he could become an embodiment of the All?

Yes! He probably was.

But what facilitated him going for it and paying such a steep price was that truly to Zeras, it was a worthy exchange.

The power of the body to contain millions of stars, thousands of galaxies, and an entire plane of cosmos within a singular body!

As much as he believed that his potential was unrivaled, Zeras knew he would never reach a stage where he would be able to harness literal planes of existence within his body. Before such a thing, his thousands of genes and abilities seemed so mundane, that they were almost not even worth mentioning at all.

An exchange of something mundane for something great! He had made the best choice that he could ever make in his life.

He sacrificed what was everything to him, to achieve a new level of potential and power, and for such he had been humiliated, lost his only companion, and even had been unfairly punished.

But still, those things, no doubt painful, can never take away the deeply ingrained confidence that his decision was right, and he truly held an unsurpasable level of true power within.

Now, he was releasing all that power out from deep within his body with fiery rage..

“OPEN!!!”

The roar was that of a literal dying person. Yet, time and space briefly paused on his words, as the wind halted to a screech, the moonlight shining down on him trying to retreat from the sudden strange power quickly. Yet, they were forced to stop in an absolute vacuum of time, as white soul essence slowly appeared out of Zera’s skeleton, and a white figure appeared. He looked at his own skeletal body lying limply on the top of the mountain.

“This is the first time I have brought my soul out in the real world itself…” He said, as he looked at his hands and body and noticed that they were still enveloped in those tiny sprinkles of light.

But now, a strange intensity oozed out from them, wanting nothing but to completely drown his senses, and that was their thirst, their will to devour the hundreds of starlights that were right above their head. And with a big smile on his face, he fused back into his body, while also succumbing to the will of his soul stars.

RIIIIIIIIPLLLE

What followed was a powerful ripple of white energy reaching into the sky, as Zeras’s bones and spine were crushed into pieces, and then a gaping vortex of white energy was formed, filled with sprinkles of tiny stars.

The intensity of the rays of light massively increased, emanating toward the top of the cave, as the area around Zeras turned immediately to daylight.

The vortex was like an unending black hole that devoured the stars themselves, with so much speed that half of the stars in the sky were all devoured in three hours, reduced to tiny stone pebbles that drifted off away into space like shooting stars.

Six more hours quickly passed, as the remaining half of the stars were also devoured, leaving not even a star around his mountain abode. Yet the vortex of white was still spinning, as if not yet satisfied with devouring more than thirty full stars alive.

Slowly and slowly and slowly, the vortex diminished and diminished, occasional bright lights flaring out from time to time, until the vortex completely receded and what was left was a young man of around 18 years of age, sitting cross-legged on the mountain, his silvery white hair blowing behind him, even with the absolute absence of wind around him.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh…” White smoke puffed out of Zera’s mouth followed by…

CRACKLE

CRACCCCCKKKLLE

CRRRRACCCKLLLEEEE

It was like lightning was crackling, as he rose from the ground, his eyes suddenly opening wide, sending a powerful beam of energy shooting out from his eyes and bringing ruin to the space around him, so much so that a gaping black hole was formed in its path.

From his previous height of 1.6 meters, he had grown to 1.8 meters, and his face, which looked like that of a boy, had turned into that of a devastatingly handsome young man, his silvery white hair elongating till they reached his back, and shining with sprinkles of starlight.

Directing his consciousness into his new body, he could feel some massive changes therein. Notably, were his silvery-white bones, his organs that oozed with a silvery starlight, and his large thick golden-colored veins that passed golden blood through every part of his body.

On his bones, he could see the runes that had appeared on every inch of it, but they weren’t runes at all.

As Zeras magnified his attention on them, he discovered they were sprinkles of small stars. The star imprints that were on his soul had now all moved and came to form runic lines right on his bones.

Just like the runic lines that were present on Atherston’s body too…

Out of the thousands of star spots on those runic lines, he could sense that exactly five of those lines were currently shining with a bright light.

“I have grown five stars out of the thousands of stars in a single night…” He said, and finally, he couldn’t keep up his calm fa?ade as a big smile tore out of his face.

“Thank you, Nine Star Hegemony Arts…” Zeras said with a grateful smile.

If he had simply sat on the mountain and absorbed the sprinkles of starlight that happened to land on the mountain, he would have taken a total of around 6 months, if not more, due to unforeseen circumstances, to be able to light up thirty stars!
