Chapter 355: The Only Way

[Evolving into a true Chaos Devourer...]

“What!?” The golden notification panel appeared and Zera’s eyes widened in shock.

[Have you forgotten that you’re only a halfling with 50% of the human genome and 50% of the Chaos Devourer genome...]

“I haven’t,” Zeras replied curtly.Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m

[Good. To be able to contain such a vast amount of Chaotic energy within your body. You would have to be a true Chaos Devourer. Only the body of a true Chaos Devourer would be able to absorb such an amount of energy...]

“But how do I do that? I know I was supposed to evolve once I reach level 20 but it still really is impossible now that you know, everything has been tuned down to 5% of its initial capabilities...” Zeras replied his gaze uncertain.

Becoming a true Chaos Devourer, the feeling was no doubt a great one that would provide him with a next-level amount of strength but Zeras wasn’t happy with that news. One of the things he was most afraid of in life was that. Becoming a true Chaos devourer. He had a nagging feeling; that he would never be the same again once that happened.

[The system might have been reduced to five percent of its true functionality but that doesn’t mean it is no longer active. You would have to take on quests to fill up that bar and reach level 20. And I don’t really know how long it will take to reach that if the system will only reward you with 5% of the normal EXP that would have been given. My approximate calculation says if you go all out, you will fill that bar up in two years. But going all out would mean completing quests with every passing second...]

“You know that’s impossible. The quest isn’t always there. I would have to put myself in a challenging position to generate them and that doesn’t happen every passing second...” Zeras mused out loud.

[I’m glad you know that. So, you at least know it should take around 3 years for you to complete the bar. Luckily for you, you have three more years to live. Perfect, huh?]

“And won’t the change of energy source cause them to change too?” Zeras asked with a raised eyebrow.

[Of course, it will. Chaotic energy is the opposite of mana, so you can expect your genes to take on the absolute negativity of what they were. In short, they would never be the same again...] The system replied as Zeras looked on blankly.

“Well, it is at least better than the first option...”

[Now that you know what you’re going to do. Are you going to go for it....”

“Yes. And this time, I’ll be going all out...” Zeras said as he stood on his feet and headed for the door when suddenly, the golden-colored notification panel appeared once again.
