Chapter 508 The System's True Goal!

508 The System's True Goal!

"Either have no system at all, just like everyone else, and make your way up the ladder, or have a system with a common benefit as you, that you both try to achieve the same goal. The first choice is impossible, so there is only one choice left!

[You bastard! As if I'll trust you again after I just got into your stomach, mere hours ago!]" The system replied as Zeras sighed.

"That's actually true, because I too find it very hard to trust you. How can I trust the guidance of someone whose former goal was to take over my body? What if you just guide me to your original goal and I lose everything?" Zeras asked as silence reigned for a while.

"But compared to getting destroyed by my enemies and not being able to achieve my goal. Then I choose the possibility of being destroyed from the inside. Even if you one day take over my body, I would do all I can to make sure I know the truth about my origin before I get my soul annihilated!" Zeras swore, the twinkling starlights in his eyes flaring brightly and undulating with light just like his heartbeat.

Even if he had a system which was trying to take over his body from the inside, nothing was going to stop him from realizing his true origin. Nothing, not even the system!

"[Hahahhhahahahahhahaha...]"

"What followed was the sound of laughter ringing out directly in Zeras's head."

"Uh?" Zeras mused out loudly as he felt something different this time. The system was no longer just a line of words on a golden notification panel; Zeras could hear his laugh directly in his brain.

"[And when did you even get so smart, kiddo?]"

"Oh? Surprised that I wasn't the kid that I formerly was. Well, I kept putting all my points on intelligence without my touch. You know system, I think that is the most underrated stat on the attribute interface. The reason why I kept adding attribute points to strength and agility is due to their immediate effectiveness. But intelligence is very difficult to gauge. But right now, if you ask me which I'm willing to lose. I will choose to lose my strength once more and still keep my intelligence..." Zeras said with a smile.

"[You know what, Zeras. You win. I truly do have a goal that I want to achieve with your body..."

"WHAT!!!?" Zeras screamed out this time in shock, as he stood rooted to where he was in shock, but was awakened by Senna's death stare.

"Is anything the problem, Zeras" She asked him from above as Zeras smiled before shaking his head.

"You know, I only just realize that we're going up higher and higher..."

"And what is so alarming about that?" Senna asked suspiciously as Zeras scratched his head.

"It might be a bit embarrassing but it is actually the truth. I'm a bit, um, mindful of heights. So, you understand, right?" Zeras said as Senna raised her eyebrow.

"You're afraid of heights? Have you fallen from the sky before?" Senna asked as Zeras pursed his lips.

"Well I've heard no good stories of those that do. But I'm sure you will catch me before I fall to death, right?" Zeras said as Senna rolled her eyes before resuming her walk.

"Juts shut up and walk faster..."

We all finally learned of the reason, of the system's existence. Well partly...Hehe

Golden Tickets and Power stones are greatly appreciated. Y'all can also check out my new book in my profile. The reason why I didn't post for two days.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
