Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 748  Passing The Test

Immediately, the guardians all screamed in shock upon hearing his words and intensely turned to look at Lord Thanos, who had his eyebrows furrowed.

In the next instant, the body of Darkseid appeared outside mid-air, and everyone stood there, mouth agape, when they could not feel the singular bloom of life form within.

The death aura of a corpse started to ooze out of his body.

"He's... He's really dead!?" they muttered, unable to believe their sight.

Their plan before the war was to quickly confront Darkseid and kill him, but as their battle continued, they knew well that plan was close to impossible.

So, they headed for another plan, which was to seal Darkseid away for eternity.

Who would have thought the unstoppable Darkseid now laid in front of them deader than dead?

"How did you do it?"

A guardian—the dark one who brought Zeras to the warzone in the first place—could no longer hold it back and asked. Zeras gave his reply.

"Darkseid's body is stronger and more powerful than mine, but his soul is weaker than mine. That's how I was able to erase his soul, thereby ensuring his death..."

Ignoring the talks, Lord Thanos stared gravely at Zeras' body, and he could only imagine the pain.

"Here, it should heal all of your injuries..." Lord Thanos said to him as he passed Zeras a strange green vial that Zeras took in his grasp.

But in the next instant, a strange vortex appeared around Zeras' body as his body was slowly pulled away. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

All the guardians instantly retreated from Zeras due to the strange rift around him, but Lord Thanos had his brows furrowed before he stared back at Zeras.

"You're not a guardian. You're a test taker..." he called out to him. Lord Thanks has heard of the strange takes form his father,  and Zeras' lips curved upwards.

They finally knew of his true origin, but it was already too late for anything to be done.

"We're the Numerigans from the Meriagan Heavenly world. If you need help, you can always come to us..." The words were said by Lord Thanos with a bow, and in the next instant, the rift swallowed up Zeras completely.

Opening his eyes once more, Zeras found himself in the same golden room. In his grasp was the green vial that had been handed to him by Lord Thanos, and he could see all of his injuries had once again been healed up, making him simply keep the green vial in his storage ring in case of future uses.

Once he was done, his eyes scanned around but were slightly surprised when he noticed there were only a total of five people currently present in the room.

One of them was a person he knew, but the rest, he couldn't say he knew them.

The rewards in the room were all floating in the air, just like always, and instantly all of the five geniuses finally started grabbing what they wanted.

One of the five was none other than Sanche, who spread forth and grabbed a couple of strange things among the rewards.

Luckily, she didn't have to fight for it as the remaining geniuses didn't have a need for what she took.

Once she was done, her eyes flashed in the room, but her mouth hung agape when she saw the young man still sitting in the corner, not moving at all.

One has to know this is the last floor for any of the geniuses, yet he still wasn't moving at all, just like he had done on the previous floors.

That could only mean...

Immediately, she walked towards him, her eyes furrowed in concern.

"Why aren't you still moving to take the rewards?" Sanche asked once she arrived by Zeras, who looked at her spatial ring and grinned.

"Congratulations on finally finding what you want..." he replied.

"I'm serious. Don't tell me you plan on..."

"Yes!" Zeras said to her before she could complete her words.

Zeras himself didn't want to move up any more floors, but he had yet to find the earring.

Without it, he could do nothing but repeatedly climb up.

"None has ever passed the 6th floor, Zeras. None! Not even the mightiest heavenly genius has ever returned.

Are you sure you want to risk it?" Sanche asked gravely.

"Yes, I do." Zeras replied curtly once more, and by the way he said it, it seemed to Sanche that nothing could probably change his mind.

"Tell me what you're looking for. Maybe, I can recognize it..." Sanche said to him as Zeras looked at her face, but the corner of his eyes moved, shifting behind her back where he noticed all of the geniuses were now leaving the hall, and in less than 7 seconds, it remained only Sanche and Zeras in the room, along with the faerie who soon appeared out of thin air, floating in the far back and staring at the two of them silently.

"You should get going, Sanche. Thank you for everything..." Zeras said to her, as Sanche's eyes furrowed.

She could see how Zeras had clearly ignored the question, and it more than piqued her curiosity. Just what was he looking for?

"The next test will be beginning soon..." the Faerie said, awakening Sanche.

She also knew well her chance of ever surviving the second test was more than slim, so in the end, she could only back off from Zeras, before fading away from the reward room.

Now all that was left was the standing Zeras and the faerie, who looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.

"Who are you, and what are you looking for?" The Faerie was the first to ask the question, making Zeras raise an eyebrow. Why was she suddenly interested in asking him who he was?

"Where is the portal to the next floor?" Zeras replied to her, and the Faerie stared hard at him, while Zeras looked back with his poker expression, not at all easily intimidated.
