Chapter 541: Quenched Taste…
The explosion was so powerful that even Eren’s axe was instantly enveloped in cracks as he was rapidly blown away and smashed into the mountain behind him.
BLEEEERGH!
Blood burst out of his lips in the next second as he collapsed directly on his knees, black blood dripping down.
Yet he was forced to instantly grab hold of the spear as another apocalyptic power smashed against his chest, which was protected by both axes.
BAAAAAANG!
BAAAAAANG!
BAAAAAAAAAAANG!
Three times, he slashed forward with speed until…
CRAAAAAACK!The axe in his hands was instantly cracked into nothing, and Eren stood before him, holding nothing more than the broken metallic iron in his hands.
“Your axe has been broken! What will you use to fight me?” Zeras asked with a listless explosion as Eren let go of the two ends of the axe.
“When you met me, what did you first say to me?” He said as Zeras looked at the wound on his chest, which slowly began healing up.
“Your body, though small, seemed to be hiding the power of a colossal titan,” Zeras replied, remembering what he had truly said when he met Eren.
“That is true. But I am not a colossal titan; I am a devilish Attack titan!” Eren said, and in the next second…
CRAAAAAAACKLE
Intense red lightning flashed down like the wrath of an angry god, smashing directly towards Eren with horrifying power that shook and instantly disintegrated the space and then slammed down on Eren, its remnants exploding on Zeras’s face who stood unflinchingly in front of the lightning.
CRRRRUUUUMBLE!
ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAR!
The mountain behind Eren was instantly reduced to nothing as a colossal roar boomed out with horrifying power, slamming on Zeras’s face and through the steam busting from the ground.
Eren stood up, revealing a true titan standing at a height of 20 meters.
“AHHHHH!” White air puffed out of Eren’s maw that opened to his ears, as he clenched and unclenched his fist, feeling the power in them.
Crimson red lines streaked around his crystalline dark body; this time, their mere power twisting around the space around his body.
And finally, he turned his attention back to Zeras, who only reached up to his knee, and once more, Zeras saw that flickering that irked his soul so badly and for reasons even he wasn’t aware of…
The disdain in their eyes once they grew bigger. The natural sense of disdain that they all behold once their strength increases. It was something that Zeras hated to the depth of his soul.
“I am a believer of respect. Every opponent that I fight, no matter the reason for which I fight them, the fact that they can block my attacks and inflict pain on me, I do not look down on them with disdain.
What I don’t understand is why all my opponents, once they gain a little buff, suddenly start oozing with disdain.
Ironically, those who have succeeded in defeating me never for once did they even look at me in disdain. They only smiled evilly as they stepped over my face and ripped out my core.
All those who do look at me in disdain end up kneeling before me. So why? Why the feeling of disdain?” Zeras asked, and the thirst for battle that he had wanted before slowly faded away…
He had wanted to fight, and that had even awoken his past SSS grade gene, the chaos devourer gene…
But once he sees the disdain in his opponent’s eyes, that will to fight will immediately become hatred.
It will be replaced by something in the deepest part of his soul wanting to rip out those eyes of disdain that his opponent had towards him!
“Because I feel you’re no longer worthy after my transformation,” he said with those same disdainful eyes, as Zeras remained silent as he kept his head down, closing his eyes as he exhaled loudly…
Even though an exhale, it seemed more a tired sigh, that caused Eren’s eyes to furrow noticing the strangeness in aura…
“I am tired…” He suddenly said as he slammed back on the earth and looked onto the plain blue sky…
“Huh?” Eren looked at his opponent who was suddenly lying on the ground…
“Chickening out already!?” Eren asked in shock as Zeras kept looking at the sky…
“No. I am tired of the feeling of disdain. I’m tired of the various disrespect; my soul hates it. It hates the fact that I’m even fighting you at all. It’s like a lion wrestling with a single ant.
I have thousands of scales, with thousands of abilities, some beyond my own comprehension, yet, I resort to the use of physical power.
I have always loved to entertain my opponents, fighting them in the area where they best excel. Fighting them like someone at their level… My soul finds it mundane.
Perhaps I have forgotten the true meaning of a battle…” Zeras mused out as he looked at the clear blue sky.
“I want to sleep and simply forget everything. Get away from this senseless way of life. Growing stronger, meeting with stronger opponents, defeating them or losing to them, then growing stronger again, and then fighting them all over again…
And this cycle will continue for all eternity. I feel like I’m not living life at all even though I’m clearly alive. I feel like something is amiss…” Zeras said as his Chaos devourer transformation slowly began to disappear and once more has back in his human form…
“That is the first time I’m hearing such a stupid thing, and that can only be because it’s the first time I’m meeting with one so weak-hearted! I expected more from one who could force me to reveal my true state!
But now, you’re no longer worthy anymore. I’ll be sending you away now…” Eren said as he raised up his legs, the crimson line on them flaring brightly before they crashed down on Zeras with apocalyptic power!
