Chapter 595: Intercession…
Immediately, Zeras laid eyes on him. He was uncontrollably attracted by the aura surrounding the figure, and his body came to a screeching halt just a few inches away from the figure, who slowly raised his head.
The chains surrounding him clanked, causing ginormous waves to appear at the surface of the River of Fate.
Finally, Zeras was able to see his face, and his heart pounded crazily in his chest.
“Look into my eyes. What do you see?” He was a young man, with white hair like the purest snow, lips redder than blood, and a face crafted by perfection itself.
Yet those eyes—they couldn’t be called so. They were instead unending black holes of…
“I see death, madness, pain, and…” Zeras replied to him as the dark rotating abyss in the man’s eyes sped up even more.
“Yes, I’m the last embodiment of chaos,” he replied, as a dark aura oozed out of his eyes. The chains surrounding him wriggled around like colossal snakes, yet his smile never loosened as he instead directed all of his attention to Zeras, scanning him like he was the most precious gold.
“Who are you?” Zeras couldn’t help but ask, as the figure smiled at him.
“Why do you ask a question you already know?” he asked in reply.“You are me!” Zeras said, a word that even he himself didn’t understand.
“How are you me?” he asked, but suddenly golden aura began oozing out of the chains. The Zeras turned his attention to the robes, scoffing in disdain before turning his attention to Zeras.
“You have to go!” he said calmly as the chain around him clanked.
“WAIT!” Zeras roared out, but in the next instant, he was blown away from the Zeras by a blast of powerful dark energy that ripped open a spatial hole behind him.
He fought all he could to resist but still ended up blown into the portal by force before disappearing.
A minute after Zeras’s disappearance, a new figure suddenly materialized where Zeras had formerly stood.
His three eyes scanned the area cautiously, but they soon relaxed when he saw nothing. He finally turned his gaze to the Zeras that was wrapped in chains.
And suddenly…
BAAADUUUMP
BAAADUUUMP
BAAADUUUMP
The sound of a heart spiraling out of control could be heard as the figure struggled to reign in his heartbeat.
“Hmph, hmph, hmph, ahhhhh, fear…”
“I do love the smell of fear!” the Zeras whispered as the ginormous figure, reaching up to 500 meters tall, shot backward with mind-blowing speed, his spear pointing toward Zeras, who simply kept smiling at him.
“Shut up, you monster. You will remain here, chained at the bottom of the River of Fate, and your life force continuously sucked until the stars expire!” the figure said, but all he got was the same spine-chilling smile.
With a cold snort, he disappeared from the space, leaving it in heart-shuddering silence.
The figure turned to look at where Zeras had been blown off to, before an incredibly dark smile widened to his very ears, and he closed his eyes.
“Till the stars expire, huh?” Those were his words as he once again shut his eyes, descending into another eternal slumber.
—
Opening his eyes once more, Zeras found himself back where he had left, and the ginormous fist of hegemony was still rippling towards him. All Zeras felt right now was a deep surging anger, and he roared out…
“FUCK OFFFFF!!!!!”
BAAAANG
A space directly crumbled before his grasp as Zeras clenched his fist tightly, thousands of runic lines on his body flaring brightly before he threw a punch towards the ginormous fist in anger.
“What!!!” The crimson-haired young man’s face changed massively as horror flashed in his eyes. What he saw wasn’t a simple punch from Zeras.
What he saw was a smiling snow-white-haired evil interlapping with the image of Zeras, and the devil smiled at him with its abyssal eyes before replicating Zeras’s move and throwing a punch at him.
As calm as a lake, yet when they slammed against his own hegemonic fist, and then…
KAAAABOOOOOOOM
A devastating explosion rippled forth from the point of impact as the Nine Star heir clenched his teeth tightly, unwilling to bow.
Yet Zeras only felt even more disdain, as something burst out of his chest, a powerful aura undulating forth like a tidal wave, and instantly…
The gigantic fist was ripped apart like paper, and the full-powered punch of Zeras smashed into the crimson-haired figure, ripping apart a gigantic hole at the upper part of his body.
His figure stood rooted in shock, staring at Zeras, who slowly lowered his hands, and his murderous expression faded away.
“I understand your Nine Star Art. The Law of Hegemony, huh?” Zeras said with a calm expression before turning to look at the crimson-haired Nine Star heir, who looked at the hole in his own chest before smiling brightly.
“You are the new Nine Star heir in a thousand years now. I pray you pass your tribulation and successfully embark on your path of domination…” the crimson-haired man said, as he faded away into particles, and the sight before Zeras also disappeared.
But immediately he exited the vision, his face changed massively as he looked up at the sky and found out that it had darkened.
Now, gigantic bolts of crimson lightning were swimming among the clouds as a deadly aura locked onto Zeras.
And his hair all stood on their end, his muscles all pausing in his body, as he raised up his head and his spine went cold.
He had felt this aura before, during his battle with Jason Celestria, the Origin to be exact.
“A… A tribulation!!!” Zeras said in absolute shock, and immediately he looked into the distance, where three figures were standing in the sky.
“This is not a tribulation, this is a heavenly punishment!” The voice rang from one of the three figures as Zeras’s face changed and the lightning began brewing even more powerfully.
