Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 249

Chapter 249: The First Principle Of Chaos 1
“Impossible, this is not real. This is Impossible. Such a power cannot exist. This is fake.” Zeras muttered as if he had lost his mind as he kept reciting those words, trying to edge them into his memories yet looking at the void he was standing on, he was told otherwise.

“The Malovelent Planet Has Been Saved. All Hail To Lord Susano For His Benevolence…”

And immediately the five figures disappeared as if they were never there to begin with. The only sign of their presence is the world that has suddenly disappeared.

“Be.. Benevolence!!?” Zeras asked with confusion in his eyes as he looked at the place where they disappeared.

They just destroyed an entire world and they call that benevolence!

But what brought his attention more was the name that was mentioned…

“Lord Susanoo?”

And slowly the entire world around Zeras crumbled like glass once again and this time he found himself directly in front of the Chaos Moon, s single step from it.

He had covered the entire distance and finally arrived in front of the Dark moon.

It was gigantic, and the darkness radiated like gas almost strangled him as he felt the hair at the back of his neck rising.

“It’s all or nothing…” Zeras said as he stretched forth his hands towards the moon.

And immediately another shoving began as he was chucked from the dimension into another.

A Valley…

The air blew gently and peacefully through the valley as the trees and flowers danced gently to its rhythm. The cherry tree let loose of its flowers as they stained the green flower present below adding a beautiful touch to the natural colors of the valley.

Deep within the forest, a small bamboo house could be seen, surrounded by green grasses and pine trees.

In front of the house, an old man with a long white beard sat with a board of Go placed in front of him.

His eyes were closed, a peaceful expression on his face when suddenly a small smile crept its way on his face.

Opposite him was a small mat that was empty, yet dark light flared brightly at the place as the white-haired young man suddenly appeared in front of him.

Zeras looked around the place in shock and vigilantly. In front of him, a man could be seen with a long white beard his face was covered in wrinkles, a sign of old age.

His eyes contained no pupils and were completely white like that of one blind, yet they seemed to hold the most ancient of secrets.

He wanted to immediately retreat backwards at first but his body relaxed a little when he saw he was an ordinary mortal as he turned around looking through the place.

“Activate Eyes of Chaos…” His gaze pierced through the thick foliage and pine trees covering the place but all he saw was just endless trees and small birds and rodents creeping through the forest.

And finally, Zeras turned his attention to the old man who had a peaceful smile on his face.

“Take a deep breath in and calm your heart, young one. Don’t be a mismatch to the serenity…” The voice was like that of an elder, strangely calming Zera’s mind as he opened his mouth lightly sucking a deep breath in before relaxing it.

And with the exhale, all the hundreds of confusions he had in mind slowly cleared away.

Yet his mind was diverted to the air as he sensed something special about it. Though he could sense absolutely no Mana in it. It was even more invigorating to him than Mana.

“Can you play?” The old man asked causing Zeras to turn to look at the board filled with white and black go pieces.

And he shook his head.

“Don’t worry. If you can’t play the go, then simply calm down and look deeply into the heart of the Go pieces…” The man said as Zeras directed his attention to the go board before stretching his hand forward and pushing out the white Go piece.

“You’ve seen the two trials on the first dojo floor, right?”

“Yes,” Zeras replied as he turned to look at the man. It was a surprise that he even knew of his experience.

“Those two tests were there to let you understand the first principle of Chaos. What can you say about them…” The old man said, pushing forward a black Go piece.

“Not much. The first was just a scene of suffering. And the second was a scene of destruction. Both are pretty chaotic if you ask me…” Zeras said out loud what he was thinking in his head.

“Do you think the first scene could have been the reason for the second?” The Old man asked as Zera’s eyebrows furrowed a little but soon relaxed.

“I highly doubt that. The first scene was just a scene of small bandits doing their job. It was truly rough but insignificant when compared to the second scene where an entire world was destroyed…”

Zeras replied as he saw a big smile suddenly appear on the man’s face as he carried the Go piece Zeras shifted forward and used it to gently touch Zera’s forehead.

“Seeing is believing…” The man said as Zera’s eyes turned completely black and he stood there numbed for some time before the darkness in his eyes faded away.

And immediately, the old man took off the go piece on his head and put it where he took off from.

“So do you understand now…” He asked with a smile.

“I…I understand.” Zeras mumbled, his gaze slightly lost.

“Oh? What do you understand?” The man asked curiously.

“The First scene which was seemingly insignificant actually led to the second scene which caused the entire world to be eradicated…”

“Really? Explain to me…” The old man said as he got into a kneeling position, one that said about his true interest in listening to Zera’s understanding of what just occurred.

“It all began with the bandits and the poor people…”
