Chapter 465: Back So Soon
“I’ll miss you though, Aria...” Zeras mused to himself as he sat down for a moment and simply looked into the distance.
Actually, there were a lot of people that he missed. He missed the past. He still wished everything was as they were in the past. He had missed the EIA and all his friends therein. Accepting the reality that all that friendship stuff was a lie was still something he couldn’t take in.
After he had left the EIA, and had begun working in the library, he had made new friends, new crews, new organizations. But five years later, and that also laid out in front of him, all completely decimated the fate of his past new life now completely unsure.
Olyn, Mr. Jim, Aria, Synvil, Fatty Zhang, Miara. Their fates remained completely unknown, dead or alive he had absolutely no idea. Searching for the truth would be a waste of time that he didn’t have the luxury of.
He could only leave it all to fate’s hands. And once again he had lost another life, one wish he still hoped was nothing more than a dream. But the reality was hitting him so hard.
“They would have all moved on...once again, without me...” Zeras mused as he exhaled loudly, his hands reaching for the necklace worn on his neck.
“This can only mean; I haven’t arrived there yet. This all just tells me I haven’t arrived home yet. One day, I’ll arrive back home and finally meet my true ones. The place where I truly belong...” Zeras mused to himself with conviction as he stood upright before looking at the sky where the spaceships could be seen, waiting for him...
“It’s funny though. When I was young, all I ever dreamed of was getting revenge on the Celestrias. But now as I stand at the peak of this world. I can’t help but look back and think to myself...Just How mundane my thought of revenge was...”
The words reverberated through the desolate aura as the space in front of Zera’s was torn apart, and he entered into it.
Life moves on. Thinking about the past from time to time was good, but sulking about it wouldn’t help. Everybody had moved on, perhaps it was time he did too...

“Are you stupid?”
“Why?”
“Because I just told you that we had to run away from that planet when we were coming to this place due to fear of infestation, and now we’re trying to find a new route just so we can avoid it. And now you want us to go there? Doesn’t that sound stupid to your ears...” D’arvey asked with a raised eyebrow as Zeras looked at him blankly.
“It truly might sound a little stupid... to you of course. But you have nothing to worry about. Also, I don’t want you to go there, just drop me there, you can wait for me for thousands of miles away from the planet. I’ll be the only one going...” Zeras said as D’arvey chuckled.
“I have a feeling you don’t understand what you’re getting yourself into Zeras. If you enter that planet. You will DIE! And when you die, that means the deal has been broken and we will end up with nothing, making our journey here completely fruitless.
When you die, you won’t be the only one affected, Zeras, we will be too. Which just makes it harder for that route you’re talking about to work, irrespective of how fancy or how hard you try to wrap around it...”
D’arvey said but Zeras shook his head stubbornly.
“I’ll be going to that planet, D’arvey, whether you like it or not. If you care about me surviving and keeping the deal. What you should focus on is telling me just what is wrong with the planet and what the hell does a plague mean?” Zeras said with finality as a vein popped on D’arvey’s head.
Now he was beginning to have a headache...
“Why would you even do such a stupid thing? It’s your life we’re talking about here, not mine...” D’arvey said as Zeras looked into the distance expressionlessly.
“Let’s get going already...”
