Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Princess Syccheleria’s Choice
“Finally…” It was unknown who said that but it was the word reverberating through the mind of all of them.

In front of them was a gigantic dark-colored portal swirling around chaotically.

It was the sign that said to them all it was time to leave.

The beginning of the small expedition till now has sure been one heck of a ride but they made it through in the end, at least almost all of them.

Suddenly bedside the gigantic portal, another portal opened up. A portal instead of swirling dark energy was a red-colored energy instead.

The aura it radiated was completely different and all of them could immediately sense the familiarity of the aura.

It was that of the Zugrofs!

“So this is the Portal. A portal to the upper realms!!!” Zeras muttered to himself, his heart thumping louder and louder In his chest.

A portal to the higher realm!

Judging from what he heard from them. They said their meeting with them was a great surprise that wouldn’t have happened if not for the strange phenomenon of the Celestial Titans Cultivation Ruins opening a portal that leads to the lower realms and therefore made their meeting possible.

If that were true, then this might perhaps be the only way for them to move from the lower realm to the upper realm, and most importantly their only chance as the Celestial Titans Cultivation Ruins only open once in a hundred years.

By that time they would no longer be able to enter it even if they wished to do so.

Silence enveloped the space for a few seconds before a voice rang out clearly, a voice from Arcules who had awakened.

“I’m sure we all know what this other portal signifies. I’m sure we’re all tempted to move to the upper realms which would no doubt be a better place, with perhaps a higher level of cultivation than the galaxy rank stage and much quicker improvement in cultivation.

Even I am tempted by such an offer. But I would avoid such a move.

You all see how the Zugrofs treated us. It was due to a simple reason, we were from the lower realms. From them, we can already guess how we’ll be treated once we arrive there. Lower than slaves.

Besides, this was supposed to be a simple expedition to further our growth, not for us to leave forever. This experience must first enter the ears of the patriarchs before their decision is made.

This is just my advice, but our chance of survival will be nil if we move there, at worst we’ll be forced to become their lab rat before getting killed off.

The call is yours…” Arcules finished before moving towards the human portal, his entourages following behind him and their figure immediately faded away.

The other Nine family groups immediately began moving forward as they all entered the portal too.

Quinn also moved with them and it was soon left with only the Hydra Family and Zeras.

“Ladies first…” Zeras said with a smile as the Hydra family moved towards the portal under Zera’s watchful gaze he also prepared to head back when suddenly the Hydra family paused and the cause was none other than Princess Syccheleria who was currently staring at the red portal.

The silence reigned on as Zeras looked at the back of the beautiful princess when her gentle voice rang out which made Zeras almost cough up blood.

“You guys go without me…”

“WHAT!!!” It wasn’t only Zeras but even the other Hydra family geniuses following behind her screamed out in shock.

“I’ll be leaving for the Upper realm. You guys go without me, that is an order…” Immediately they all stood rooted in shock towards where they were.

“Princess Syccheleria, please don’t. It is too dangerous and filled with too many unknowns…” The red-haired Selena tried convincing but was cut short.

“I have made my choice. Now go…” She ordered coldly as tears flowed down the Hydra family’s faces but they bit their lips as they continued walking forward.

“Tell Mother that I will be returning soon…” She said as the Hydra family geniuses disappeared into the portal.

Left alone were now Zeras and Princess Syccheleria.

“You should leave too…” She said before moving towards the portal when suddenly a hand grabbed her back.

“Have you gone senile or don’t you hear what Arcule’s said?”

“I’ve made my choice.”

“Your choice as in death. What will you tell the Zugrofs when you meet with their leaders? How will you explain their disappearance?

Do you even know what is behind that portal? Do you understand their rules? How do you think they’ll welcome, with an open hug? You want to go knowing they’ll welcome you with a chain on your neck.

And most importantly, are you willing to leave all this behind? Your mother waiting for you back home. Your clan waiting for you, waiting for their future patriarch.

You’re willing to leave everything behind and venture into the unknown!!?” Zeras asked his voice that of an angered one.

“You don’t understand…”

“Of course, I don’t understand why a person will be walking towards her death.”

“This is my only chance…” Princess Syccheleria suddenly screamed out as she turned to face Zeras, whose face became filled with shock seeing the pretty face streaming with tears.

“I don’t have another choice. This is my only chance of life. I’m different compared to you all. I have to find my other races, the Colossal Devourers to help me out with my sickness.”

“Whatever sickness you have, it can be taken care of here, you think I’m willing to abandon everything? Do you think I’m willing…”

A hand suddenly dragged her forward as she landed in the warm embrace.

The sobs were tear-inducing staining Zeras uniform in the pearls of tears that drilled down his uniform.

“It will be okay…” He whispered gently as Princess Syccheleria shook her head instead.

“It won’t. I don’t have much time left…” Slowly breaking away from his embrace, she moved towards the portal but this time l, Zeras didn’t stop her.

A single step from the portal she suddenly stopped in her steps as she turned back towards him.

“Thank you for saving Selena and also caring for me. I promise I’ll be safe…” She said, a bright smile appearing on her face.

Zeras simply stood there numbed, when suddenly he took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of her.

Grabbing hold of her hand, he removed his storage ring before gently slipping it into her fingers.

“Take it with you. It might just save your life at a crucial moment…” Zeras said as he gave her his spatial ring, containing all that was given to him by Instructor Moneca and her friends and also the powerful healing honey he stole from the bees.

“Thank you, Zeras…”

Those were her last words before she completely disappeared into the portal.
