Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 596: A Punishment From The Heavens…

The three figures floating in the sky at a distance from Zeras were none other than two men and a woman—a woman he was very familiar with.

She was none other than Grand Elder Celestine.

“He is the one. The one who aced all the tests of the prodigies war event and also got his cultivation regressed,” she said with a blank expression as they all looked at Zeras, who was staring at the sky with a confused expression on his face.

“How interesting. Regressing from the universe origin rank, and then faced with a heavenly punishment less than a week later.

What has he done to anger the heavens so much that they have decided to end him forever?” the second elder, a muscular man three meters tall, said.

A strange flaming red mane like that of a lion covered his neck as he looked at Zeras with mockery.

“Do you think he can survive it?” an otherworldly gentle voice rang out, coming from none other than the third man, an old man holding a large broadsword behind him, his white pupils staring at Zeras.

“There is no surviving for one who has been targeted by a heavenly punishment. Anyone who helps him will only end up getting eradicated by the heavens with him. There is no saving him,” Grand Elder Celestine said as they all stood and watched.

“A heavenly punishment, huh?” Zeras mused, finally understanding what was with the strange lightning cloud above him. From confusion and caution, it all faded away and was replaced by mockery.

“So he was right, huh? We really are all controlled by the damn heavens, and anyone who tries to go against it will be eradicated by a heavenly punishment.

You want to eradicate me because I have committed the sin of wanting to keep my fate in my hands?” Zeras asked. In the next instant, he shot into the far distance with horrifying speed, as all the elders watched him run into the desolate grassland.

“No matter how much he runs, he will never escape from the heavenly punishment,” Grand Elder Lion Heart said as they quickly followed after Zeras.

Even though they all knew the fate of those who dared call a heavenly punishment upon themselves, they still wanted to see Zeras’s eradication with their own eyes.

Five minutes later…

Zeras finally skidded to a stop as he looked above and saw that the clouds had followed him all the way. Looking at the distance he had run from, he exhaled in relief.

“Now, my mountain abode won’t be destroyed by it, and Fluffy will be okay,” he mused to himself. There was no guarantee that the divine punishment wouldn’t bring absolute woe to his abode, which might lead to Fluffy getting targeted and destroyed by its rage. It was something Zeras couldn’t risk. So he had moved away, believing that the lightning clouds would also follow him, and just as he had thought, they had. But now they seemed more enraged than ever.

CRAAACKLE

CRAAAACKLE

CRRRACCKLEEE

Lightning began sparking powerfully, remnants smashing towards the ground around him. His eyes narrowed, noticing that something was being condensed within the sea of clouds. Just as he had expected, a figure slowly appeared clearer and clearer, and slowly exited the sea of clouds, turning to look at Zeras.

It was a humanoid figure made entirely of red lightning, with a red lightning sword in its hands.

“DAMNATION TO ALL THOSE WHO DARED DEFY THE HEAVENS!!!” The figure’s voice was so powerful that the entire space around Zeras shook, and his eardrums almost exploded into bits.

In response to its words, Zeras had only a single answer…

“Desolate Star Ring, OPEN!!!” he ordered, as a gigantic phantom of a ring slid out of the empty space, coming to stand behind him.

A kingly aura oozed from his body, thousands of runic lines quickly coating his entire form and emanating a phantasmal aura.

It was as if a natural king had been born into the world. Zeras’s silvery hair elongated, reaching up to a meter long, and he slowly floated upwards, coming to match the gaze of the lightning figure.

“This aura!!!” Grand Elder Swordsworn said in shock, as the elders’ eyes flashed with surprise.

“The Aura of Hegemony!!!” Grand Elder Lion Heart completed.

—

“The heavens want me damned? Fine. Come and damn me!!!” Zeras said, and in the next instant, the space beneath his feet shattered into pieces as he took a single step forward and shot forward with horrifying speed, appearing mere inches before the lightning figure.

A punch tore through the air with a ferocity akin to that of lightning, blasting towards the figure’s head.

In response, the lightning figure raised its sword with both hands before slashing down vertically towards Zeras’s fist.

It was as if the entire world was falling down towards Zeras as a gigantic sea of lightning spewed from the single slash of the sword, and the entire world seemed to reject his existence, giving him the illusion of chains holding his body, causing his fist to halt to a screeching stop.

“FUCK OFF!!!” Zeras roared out in anger as he forcefully tore himself out of the restriction, and his punch smashed violently against the sea of lightning.

KAABBBOOOOOOOOOOOM

A devastating surge of energy rippled from the contact as the sea of lightning immediately drowned Zeras’s figure, like a small boat in a tempestuous storm.

—

“Ended in a single move…” The voice of Grand Elder Lion Heart rang out as the elders looked at Zeras, who had been drowned by the sea of lightning.

“As expected of a heavenly punishment. To resist is to quicken one’s death!” Grand Elder Celestine said with little change in her expression.

But they soon watched as the gigantic sea of lightning suddenly blew up with a bang, a fist coated with thousands of runic lines being the first to appear.

ROOOOOOOOOAR

A powerful roar surged through the entire place as Zeras arrived before the lightning figure and smashed his fist with unbridled power.

CLAAAAAAANG
