Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 453

Chapter 453: Give Me Your Trust…Once More
“You want us to fall through space with you? What do you think you are, a world leader?”

“Tch, he must be some psychopathic bastard…”

“Is he insane?”

‘It finally came…” Zeras mused to himself as he looked at the various roars of protests from the crowd gathered.

Of course, he didn’t accept himself as a very good convincer nor did he didn’t expect them to suddenly jump through the void of space and they should all agree. That was taking it too far And now he could see their fear, which was now translating into anger.

“You know what?” Zeras asked his voice drowning the thousands of supports.

“You all are right…” Zeras confirmed as shock appeared on their faces.

“Who truly knows, I might be a psychopathic bastard who freed all of you from your cells. A psychopathic bastard who gave you all your freedom. And now that psychopathic bastard wants to risk traveling through the vast emptiness of space with you and with no spacesuits.

Isn’t that stupid and suspicious at the same time?” Zeras asked eliciting nods from the crowds.

“But there is also something that is the undoubted truth and that is that. When I unlocked you from your cells. And I asked for you to follow me, you followed me. You trusted me to protect you from the result of trying to escape the prison. You trusted me to take you out of your mothership to this mothership. You trusted me with your life, and without me making any promises at all.”

“Isn’t that right too?” Zeras asked eliciting complete silence from the crowd.

“There are only two paths that can be walked in this situation. The first is to remain here, as a prisoner. I can promise you won’t at least outright be dying. But you definitely will rot in jail!” Zeras said as absolute silence covered the room.

“The second path is to do what you had just done a few minutes ago. To trust me once more. And if we make it, you’ll regain what you have lost, if not everything. We all here, have a thing or two that we want to pick from Earth don’t we? We all have some people that we have left behind.

Do you truly do not want to see them again? Do you want them to look up at the sky and know that the reason why you’re not with them is because you are too scared to take that leap of faith? Too scared to try at all. Too scared to risk everything you have for them?”

“I’m pretty sure we can all agree on a common answer. This will be risky, very risky. And you will not be deprived of choice. I truly am not an Earth world leader that you can place your absolute hope in. But I can at least promise this. Whoever stands by me, trusts me, and takes that leap of faith will not be lost. The Choice is up to you…”

“If you can’t trust me, then don’t hold hands with those who will. You will be led back to your cells by the Giarans…” Zeras said and remained quiet.

SILENCE.

A nerve-wracking silence as the crowd of humans all simply stood where they were, their thoughts haywire. To decide to trust a stranger, who promised to perform the impossible, or to go back to their cells, and hope another opportunity like this will come.

It was an extremely difficult choice, yet as difficult as it is. The stranger was no doubt right, they truly had those memories back on Earth. Memories they were unwilling to leave behind. Wife, husband, daughters, sons, colleagues, families. They were all the things that they couldn’t wait to reunite with.

How would their daughters, sons, and wives and husbands, would feel if they knew the reason why they never came was because they were too scared?

With shock on his face, Zeras watched as they slowly held each other arms and shoulders. It started with just a small group, but like wildfire, more joined, more believed, and more trusted, and less than 5 minutes later, a total of 13,110 people were holding hands.

“We have all placed our trust in you the first time. And we’ll be placing it on you once more…” A figure at the lead said as a smile appeared on Zera’s face and his eyes shone in determination.

“I have not failed you the first time, and I won’t be failing you right now…” Zeras replied in the next second as he calmed his nerves and he regained absolute focus.

“Irrespective of what you see, irrespective of what happens. Please trust me to the end…” Zeras begged and in the next second.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM

A malevolent and incredibly evil aura busted out of Zera’s body, as bloodlust washed over the entire room, enough to make the weak-willed among them almost retreat in horror, yet they were held tightly by those who were stronger-willed.

Immediately, they watched as their savior instantly changed becoming a three-meter-tall devil whose dark eyes stared at them, an illusion of their soul wanting to forcefully leave their body, washing past them.

Yet the red energy didn’t harm them as they initially thought and instead proceeded to cover them tightly enveloping them in a dome of red energy that rose into the sky and lifted them up their feet.

“Huuuu…” Zeras exhaled loudly and in the next second, he jumped into the void of space bringing with him the thousands of the humans who all immediately shut their eyes expecting themselves to be crushed by the void of space. Yet 10 seconds passed as they all opened their eyes and noticed the impossible.

They were now in the void of space that they were so afraid of, yet they weren’t crushed at all. Eyes turned to the barrier which was no doubt the one that canceled all the pressure before turning to look at Zeras.

“It seems you all have chosen the right choice…” Zeras said out loud to them as smiles bloomed on some faces and some even broke down and cried.

“Time to go back to where we all come from…” Zeras said and in the next second, he shot downwards with speed, bringing with him 13,000+ humans…
