Chapter 549: I Choose To Die Alone!

The stadium grew loud soon, with the various discussions of the clan leaders, who discussed the last test and their geniuses’ choice of sects.

To them, the last test was no doubt to be passed by their various geniuses…

But amidst the discussion sat Zeras, who reclined his back on the seat, his eyes closed, yet they were wide open in his mind, as Zeras thought about the second test that he just had…

The test that had shown him his death, and the question that the other Zeras had asked him…

————

“How pathetic is the fact that only two people care about revenge after your death…”

————

‘I truly am a lonely warrior, and it seems I can’t face everything alone…’ Zeras thought to himself, as he clenched his hands tightly together.

[It is truly a subject that I have wished to discuss with you, but I was waiting for the perfect timing. Perhaps after you were taught a good lesson on it. Then you might see the significance of it. But since you have been faced with it now, then perhaps I should tell you…] The system said into his head…

“And what is that?”

[You won’t make it to the top alone!] It said as Zeras furrowed his eyebrows…

[It might seem strange since you have been doing just fine all this while. But now, I’m sure the high races have felt your existence more clearly compared to when you were in the lower realms, and now, they may finally send their army to you.

You’re no doubt strong, Zeras. Your full strength even right now is something that is known.

But against a slumbering army of millennia ago?

If you have to face those ancient warriors of the past, I would have said with no doubt that you would be able to go toe to toe with them.

But they are called ancient warriors due to the fact that they are not one. They reach up to thousands in numbers at the least. If you have to fight thousands of ancient warriors alone, then the result would be that image that was shown to you…] The system said as his eyes faintly squirmed with veins but soon subsided.

“That can never happen…” Zeras said with calm eyes.

[I definitely hope so…]The system said.

“So you’re saying I should get an army of my own?” Zeras asked.

[My point exactly. Imagine having hundreds of people like those geniuses that you fought at the end of the trail.

None of them could match your strength, but they are also all strong in their own right. If you have hundreds of them behind you, each one of them willing to fight to the death with you, then you will be better equipped to fight with those ancient powerhouses that will be coming for your life soon…] The system said as Zeras sighed.

“You know, when I started my cultivation journey, I had formed friends, and I still remember telling Gaia to socialize with people, as it would be better if the races that are coming for her don’t meet a single person but an army of powerful people.

You know how that ended right?” Zeras asked as the system remained quiet.

‘Where were all those damn friends when calamity comes knocking!? When I was fighting off Adrian, where were they? When I laid dying, my life count coming to an end, how many of them called or reached out? It was like they never existed…’

[Those are minor obstacles in your path that you have successfully passed. There is no need to be so hung up on the past…] The system replied as Zeras smiled…

“Yes, they truly are nothing but the past. But they have taught me lessons, which I can never forget till eternity.

Besides, if I truly have an army of my own. An army whose bond is strong enough so much they want to fight to the death with me.

They are an army, and would no doubt face obstacles, which most likely would result in death. They would die, something that wouldn’t have happened if they have never met with me.

Can I handle the pain of losing such people? Can I afford to lose another Vornek? That would mentally break me before the real war even comes…” Zeras replied back

[An army is a good thing, they would be a good help. But I am a living catastrophe. My armies would die in large numbers before they reign over the obstacles.

I can’t afford to lose people dear to my heart, on the promise that their death would not be in vain.

I would rather die alone, than die with an army of the people I love…’

[But…]

‘I won’t build an army. I have not the power to protect them from my catastrophe.

Being an anomaly is a blessing of mine, but is also my curse. So, I’ll wade through my catastrophe alone, and I know well, I would never fall!!!’ Zeras said with deeply ingrained confidence.

How many times had he been almost wiped out of existence, but every second he had also found a way to stand back up.

‘I don’t need any more people to die for me. I only need myself and also you. You have been with me since the beginning of everything. Only you can die with me…”

‘ Zeras determined with a serious expression.

‘These two people who died with me in my vision are none other than Princess Schyelleria and Fluffy.

I must have probably continued my relationship with them, and in the end, they both died to my catastrophe. I still have time to correct that…” Zeras determined.

‘And how do you plan to resolve that?’ The system asked as Zeras opened his eyes…

“By letting them go. They wouldn’t have died if they had nothing to do with me…”

Zeras determined as the system remained quite and offered nothing more in return…

[I was just like you once Zeras. My first lifetime…]
