Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 544

Chapter 544: Taking A Firm Stand
Slowly turning his attention towards the Divine Aether sect, Zeras couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at such a stupid question.

“Can you come again?” Zeras asked with a raised eyebrow.

“I said, what about those people you grievously injured? One was nailed by fear spears, digging into his forehead, chest, and both shoulders.

Another had his butt reduced to a puddle of mangled flesh, and another, a genius of an exalted race, was reduced to his knees, with pierced chest and stomach.

And another one had his third eye destroyed, almost severing half his cultivation. How do you wish to explain these criminal acts, or are you saying you’re not the one responsible?” The Divine Aether sect.

“Of course I am, after all, I’m the only one among everyone who can do that,” Zeras replied, causing the various sect leaders to narrow their eyes.

They could easily guess the young man wasn’t at all apologetic for what he had done and even had pride that he did that.

“Ignoring the fact that the people I have gravely harmed could have been teleported out if the Divine Battle sect envoy felt like that would be a ‘criminal’ act.

Then what about the people who got crippled in the tournament? Those who had their lifework of more than hundreds of years, severed by a genius of an exalted divine race, in the name of a ‘greater’ good.

Or are you trying to tell me that you would rather have your cultivation crippled than have your butt smacked or get injured?” Zeras asked as the Divine sect envoy looked at him with shocked eyes.

“You want to punish me for my criminal act, then what type of punishment should be given to the one who crippled various geniuses, even more than the people I have harmed? He wasn’t even called out at all, and I’m pretty sure you all know I am talking about.

So you only saw the people I grievously harmed and not the people that were crippled? Why? Are you all scared of the race he comes from?” Zeras asked with a raised eyebrow.

“If you are willing to ignore the fact that some geniuses were crippled for whatever reason you have, then I think you should also ignore the fact that some people were smacked.

After all, you could have stopped the smacking, but you chose to let it continue. Once more that looks like your fault,” Zeras replied, easily thwarting away the criminal act that they say he committed.

“So is that all my crimes?”

“Yes,” This time it was the female envoy of the Thousand Transformation sect that replied as Zeras gave half a bow to the three sects.

“Then I can only say thank you for your benevolence. I hope I’m not the reason the test of this half-century wasn’t completed,” Zeras said, and in the next second, he took to the sides, descending back to the area where Senna was.

“MEOW…” On his arrival, Fluffy jumped onto his arms, the furry skin directing Zeras’s attention away from the discussion that had just occurred and helping him cool his hot blood.

“With the first competition having been completed. The various geniuses who have successfully passed the genius out of the total of 906 geniuses are a total of 300,” the female envoy of the Ten Thousand Transformation sect declared, drawing gasps from the various clan leaders.

Those who have failed can shift to the back of the tournament stage or simply leave, and those who passed the test can move forward to the front seats. Thank you,” she said, and the seats who were all formerly sitting at the front started moving backward, and Senna stood up walking to the front of the tournament stage and after arriving at the third row, she took an empty seat as Zeras sat down beside her.

“You really did pass,” Senna said as her heart, which had almost jumped out of her chest, finally calmed down, and she finally was able to interact with Zeras.

“I told you…” Zeras said without any change in expression as he rubbed Fluffy’s jaw.

“He had almost lost his best companion just a few hours ago. The mere thought of it still frightened him even till now.

“That Colossal Devourer girl came to give me fluffy and said you had some business things to still do. Was those things spanking the butts of the various genius, and also causing some trouble around?” Senna asked as Zeras smiled.

“You can say it like that too,” He replied without much care.

“You know that could have gone more wrong than it did. You wouldn’t survive if you were able to awaken the ire of those three envoys,” Senna said, her voice filled with caution and fear as she talked about the three envoys.

“Maybe. But it turned out well in the end. So I guess, we’re all good, aren’t we? Seems to me like someone has been praying for me when I was gone on my little business trip,” Zeras said, winking at Senna who rolled her eyes.

“Just promise you wouldn’t cause much trouble till the tournament end,” Senna said as Zeras simply gave a reassuring smile and kept quiet.

The mission was still active, and he would still have to remain the number through the entire test duration, he didn’t know how he would have to do that, but trouble was definitely not out of the note.

So he couldn’t really give a promise about that. Not like it would have mattered if he had broken the promise. But it would just be better not to give any promise at all.

“I know what that smile means…” Senna replied as Zeras turned his attention to her.

“And what does it mean?” Zeras asked curiously, even though he already knew what the answer would be.

“That you have promised me,” Senna said as Zeras turned to look into hers in silence for a while before Senna turned her gaze to the ground.

“Thank you…”
