Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 330

Chapter 330: A Chat With The Base Head 1
“Ooh, it’s hot in here…” The words were from Zera’s mouth as sweat dipped down his body.

It was some sort of cave area and hot steam exited the hole in the wall. The temperature in the room was a mind-blowing 250 degrees Celsius.

Sitting in this hell of a cave were two figures who were completely naked save for the small wrapper wrapped around their waist.

One was a young man with white hair who continuously threw his hand around his face as sweat dripped down his body continuously, his mouth wide open like a dog.

The other was a crimson-haired young man who reclined comfortably in the rock-shaped area with a comfortable smile on his face.

“Ooh? This is the most comfortable place in the world…” Adrian said with a satisfied smile on his face as Zeras snorted coldly.

“Easy for you to say…” Normally Zeras wouldn’t have dared to say that to the base head of the mutant organization but after almost six hours of chatting with each other, he had completely grown to be completely natural around him. They had played chess, swam together, cooked together, eaten together, and fought with pillows together.

It sounded crazy but it was even more crazy to Zeras as since he couldn’t say no to him, he was forced to do that and as time passed by, he gradually forgot it was the base head of the mutant organization he was with.

“That is why you must strive to work harder and grow stronger. Without being strong enough, you won’t even be able to enjoy nature’s blessing such as this…” Adrian said with a peaceful smile as Zera’s expression couldn’t help but grow strange.

“Is that why you’re growing stronger? To simply enjoy life…” He asked curiously with a strange expression on his face. It was what he had concluded too as a result of chatting with Adrian and being in his home. There was nothing but unlimited enjoyment. Games, food, clothing, images of strange places. That was all he had in his room.

“Yep,” Adrian said confirming his thought.

“But I don’t understand. How can that be a goal for growing stronger, it just, it looks, you know…”

“Stupid?” Adrain completed as he slowly sat upright from the sofa and looked at Zeras with a smile.

“Do you think a strong person like me should have a much grander goal of getting strong? Revenge? thirst for power? To prove to somebody? Things like that?” Adrian asked with a smile as Zeras gave a genuine nod.

The sole reason why he was getting stronger was to one day destroy the Celestria family for the misery they put him through and also to find out about his origin. Now that was what he calls growing stronger for. Those are the only things that would make you stand up after getting hit by life.

“I always have the same aspirations like that too. A really long time ago. Until I realized how foolish they all were…” Adrian said as Zeras felt his always smiling face slowly disappear as he looked blankly into space.

“I once had a loving family. A hardworking father, a strong mother, and a good younger sister. They were everything to me. Everything. The only reason why I live. Until they were all wiped out by a single person. When you reach a certain level of strength, Kain. You will make a lot of people cry without even realizing it. Seeing my entire family wiped out in front of me, of course, the most natural thing was to go after the one that caused my misery.”

“And you go after him?” Zeras asked with a serious expression.

“Of course, I did. I suffered so hard to reach the cosmic rank stage, even though scientifically, the highest cultivation I could ever reach based on my potential was the meteor rank stage. I realized one thing from my growth in strength. Power, Kain. It doesn’t come to those who are the most talented or most brilliant. It comes to those who want it the most. And I wanted power badly. So badly I abandoned my humanity. And when I finally gained it, I went after the one who put me in my misery. Do you know what I did to him?” Adrian asked Zeras, a wild grin on his face.

“What did you do?” Zeras asked curiously.

“I forced him to kill his entire family with his own hands. Then I cooked their hearts and forced him to eat them. After he had done that, I then left him alone. After three days, he killed himself…” Adrain said with a devilish smirk as Zera’s spine went cold…

“Beautiful, isn’t it? Is there any perfect way to seek revenge…” Adrian asked as Zeras gave a nod of confirmation.

“But after he died. Then what?” Adrian asked as Zera’s expression turned strange.

“What?”

“Then what? I’ve devoted all my life to growing my strength. I’ve exchanged my body and soul for power. And when I finally enacted my revenge, it just felt like. I don’t know. Then what? I just locked myself up in a mountain for three years thinking what next? What Next Kain…” Adrian asked him with a raised eyebrow as Zeras looked at him blankly.

He also didn’t know.

“That was when I asked the question. What would my family have wanted me to do? My father would have wanted me to kick his murderer’s ass, which I’ve done and my mum would have simply wanted me to continue living life. A life of freedom, a life of peace. And my dad would have wanted me to continue his bloodline.”

“Realizing that. That was what I did with my remaining life. Simply enjoying life to its fullest. Simply chasing freedom. And true freedom can only be achieved if you’re the strongest. And that is what I have done since then. How do you think I’m faring?” Adrian asked with puppy eyes.
