Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 594: Birthing A Heart Of Hegemony!!!

“What is this, what is this feeling…” Zeras asked. Everything around him came to an absolute screeching stop, except for the ginormous fist that was slowly inching closer towards him.

“Such a little amount of energy input, how can it create a destructive aura that could rival even those at the Universe Rank…” Zeras asked in shock, as he looked at the fist.

The power oozing from within could rival his own most powerful attack when he also was at the Universe Rank, and Zeras could even say for sure he would have struggled to take this attack head-on if he had his previous cultivation.

But what truly was shocking to him was that the energy that the man had inputted into the attack was something that he also possessed in his Desolate Star Core.

Yet, Zeras knew well, even if he released the entire energy in his core, he still wouldn’t be able to rival this power or even come close to it at all.

So just what boosted the power by more than tenfold…

“Laws…” Zeras mused to himself as realization dawned on him.

He could remember when he had awakened the law of destruction. The law isn’t something that could be stated in clear facts.

All he knew was that the destruction law, when coated into his energy, would lead to a massive increase in every one of his ordinary attacks…

Still, the destruction law wouldn’t boost his power by this much. He had fought almost countless opponents and had watched hundreds of others battle, yet he could swear there was not a single law that could boost someone’s power to this level. Except, except it was…

“The Law Of Hegemony…”

It was a law that Zeras had never heard of before. A Law That Dominates Every Other Law! He knew up to hundreds of different laws and was well aware that there were probably a thousand more that he had no idea of. Yet a single law could dominate them all.

And that was the law of domination.

Slowly, he began accepting the reality. The reality of the entire cultivation system that he knew being nothing but a fa?ade.

“The River of Fate… It sounds so familiar,” Zeras mused with furrowed eyebrows. He could almost see a hazy vision before him, but he couldn’t quite make it out.

Still, he could feel like some type of chains were wrapped around his existence. Like he was under the control of some absolute force that he could never hope to defy.

—

“From creating the River of Fate, to creating the Underworld, to creating the Bridge of Niagara. He controls people’s fate ever since they were born.”

—

The words rang out loud and clear as Zeras’s eyes flashed with a thousand thoughts.

“Fate has always been fate. It is every being’s natural destiny. How can it be defied? It can only be obeyed. It is written by the heavens themselves…” Zeras whispered in confusion.

“But if the heavens truly are just another powerful entity assigning fate to others, then do I really want my fate to be under the control of another person like me? My fate of being destroyed in three years now. My fate of being nothing but a failed genius, who only had his entire power as a result of what he had been born with…”

“If Fate is Absolute, then why am I cultivating so hard? What is the point of cultivation in the first place if it was not to change my already placed-in-stone fate?

So how could the end of cultivation be to simply agree to the fact that fate is absolute if we have all spent thousands of years trying to alter the fate that befalls a person who is weak? In the end, we will be nothing but still chained down by the fate that we have been trying to avoid.”

Everything came to a sudden halt in Zeras’s mind, flooding his entire consciousness with a truth that had always been in front of him, yet he had been so ignorant of…

“What is the point of your entire years of cultivation if in the end you will still bow to the fate that you have struggled so much to avoid? You cultivate because you don’t want to be a weakling?

In the end, you will arrive at a new peak of cultivation, and realization will dawn on you that you’re nothing but an ant in the grand scale of things.

And then, you’ll finally give up all semblance of hope and bow to fate then.

You would have wasted an entire lifetime being nothing more than a character in a chessboard played by the truly strong…”

The crimson-haired man’s voice whispered into his ears from afar as Zeras looked blankly at the ginormous fist of blazing silvery energy.

“My fate was never in my hands. I have always been controlled from the very beginning of it all…” Zeras mused and in the next instant, everything faded away from his sight and what came to be was at the bottom of an otherworldly ocean…

“Where am I?” Zeras asked in shock as he looked around him, seeing nothing but an expanse of water. The first thing that would have occurred for him to do was to swim up.

But suddenly he noticed gigantic chains passing right past him and stretching downwards towards the pitch-black darkness below…

And instead of zooming up to the surface, he made an abnormal choice and rapidly swam down with all of his speed, deeper down and deeper down…

He was moving at a mind-numbing level of Mach 20, yet Zeras had swum for close to three days before he finally saw where the gigantic chains ended…

Stopping his speed, he cautiously moved forward, and when he finally arrived 10 meters from where all the chains criss-crossed, his heart stopped beating!

As before him was HIM wrapped up in those chains, whose ends like needles dug into every inch of his snow-white skin…
