Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 352

Chapter 352: Getting Back Up!
Looking at the window plane of the hospital. Zeras blank eyes slowly moved away from it as he opened his lips, a puff of white air puffing out of his mouth…

“System, are you still there?” Zeras asked with a raised eyebrow as he watched the golden notification appear in front of his gaze.

[Yes.]

“When are you going to leave too?”

Zeras asked with a deadpan expression before the notification panel once again appeared.

[Technically it is after the Host dies…]

“Oh, you’ll wait for the next three years. Awwww…” Zeras said rolling his eyes in mockery.

“Well, at least I won’t be lonely till I die…”

[Yeah] the system notification appeared. It seemed he had once again returned to his normal chatty mode.

“I really am screwed, don’t you think?” Khan asked as he slammed down back on the bed.

[The system has predicted the Host’s demise would happen soon. And according to the system’s calculations, this result is a lot better, since it provides the host with three more years to live.]

“Tch, damn system. You should be sympathizing with me. Not making more fun of me…” Zeras roared out in protest.

[Unfortunately, the system is not one to sleep his sympathizing ass on the bed and sulk about his condition. The Host has been told many times that the Host should take his life more seriously and eliminate all distractions. But the Host has refused, acting like he knows more than the system which has lived for countless eons. So, the system can’t be sympathetic at all, the system already predicted the result for a long while…]

“Ahh, you win. I really can’t refute that. The so-called friends ended up pretty disappointing. Well except for some. But you know, system. I still don’t regret it.”

[And why is that? It was the sole reason you lost your cultivation base…]

“Yeah, maybe. But I also learned the reason why you said trying to make friends was a waste of time. When you told me the last time. I thought, tch, what does an AI know? So, I ignored it, thinking I knew well what I was doing. I devoted time that should have been for training and placed it on stupid things. I will say I’ve only truly learned my lesson…”

“And commander Sigrid was also right. I mean if I had not tried to show my so-called talent, I would probably have not attracted Adrian’s attention and would still have my cultivation base. But that also taught me another important lesson. There’s nothing technically wrong with wanting to prove your potential to the world. But it is stupid without enough strength to protect yourself.”

“If I was like the commanders, they’re all not afraid to immediately go all out in any situation, they are strong enough and have reached closer to the peak of the world. A level where there’s very little consequence for what they do. I should have cultivated silently and reached that stage. I can go all out once I reach the peak. There’s nothing wrong with having great talent. But unless you can protect your ass, flaunting your talent and capabilities is as good as looking for death. Even more unbelievable is the fact that I was doing that in an enemy organization where I was nothing but a spy. Just how stupid is that?” Zeras said with a disbelieving expression.

Now he understood his action and was starting to realize how stupid he was. His actions were very childish and he now didn’t even understand how he could make such a stupid decision in the first place.

[It seems the Host is finally growing some sense…]

But do you know what you’re even more right about?

[Hmm, that you’re an idiot…]

“No. It is about me sleeping my ass on the bed and sulking. This is a waste of time… I might have lost my cultivation base, but does that mean I have lost it all? How can I sit on the bed and think I’m done for?” Zeras asked as he jumped up from the ground and rose to his feet.

“From a trashy F-grade orphanage boy to a screwed rat lab. I was able to rise and become one of the greatest geniuses the EIA has ever seen. If I can survive that situation, then why can’t survive now that I have lost my cultivation base and even only have three more years to live? Why can’t I survive this? I still have three more years to live after all…” Zeras said to himself as he furrowed his eyebrows.

“But first I have to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of my current situation.”

[Why don’t I help you do that…] The golden notification suddenly appeared as Zera’s face dropped.

[Firstly, is that. You have lost your mana core. You have lost all your genes, your absolute morph gene, and your astral titan gene. Secondly, you only have here more years to live. If you had taken that dragon tear, you would have 23 more years to live. But now that you have returned it, you have only here more years to live. So, you don’t have much time left and you’ll be dying soon…]

“Well thank you for analyzing that out…” Zeras said as he snorted. The system never changes for once, it always tries to hit him even more anytime he suffers a loss.

“Now let me tell you the advantages. Firstly, is that I’m now out of the EIA…”

[Huh? How is that an advantage?]

The system notification panel appeared as Zera’s lips curved upwards.

“Firstly, is that, unlike regular EIA officials. I’m an elite EIA soldier which makes me forever tied with the EIA till my death. I can’t retire and I can’t join any other forces. No matter how beautiful it sounds, I’m still forever essentially a slave to the EIA, and I don’t have any hope of escaping those chains for the next at least 10 years. But now, I’m free, and not bonded to anything but myself and you. Do you understand?”
