Chapter 562: Areas Of Concentration

“That’s right,” Zeras agreed. The triggering event was one of the reasons he had focused his utmost attention on joining the Ten Thousand Transformation Sect. Without that, he would have most likely joined the Divine Battle Sect.

[The second goal, just as important, is your strength, Zeras,] the system continued. [Every one of the genes present in your body is now within your scales. Have you noticed something peculiar?]

Zeras nodded. “The more I fight, the more they suddenly appear in the middle of my fight. Most of them are dormant, yet to be awakened, and they only awaken when I am in the midst of a battle or after a qualitative change,” Zeras replied, recalling how he had been able to copy others’ techniques when fighting Hades and how he had awakened his other SSS-grade ability, the Infinity Will gene, when he underwent a qualitative change during his last fight.

[Good,]the system responded.

[That means, out of the thousands of genes in your body, fewer than ten are currently awakened, and most of those, you still have no absolute control over.

Your goal now is to awaken more of them. If you manage to awaken all thousands of them and also gain absolute control over them, I have no doubt you will be able to wipe out even Undying Realm experts.]

Zeras’s eyes flashed as the system continued, [And you know the only way to awaken them, don’t you?]

“Fighting. That’s the only way to awaken them and also gain control of them,” Zeras determined.

“No, not just fighting,” the system corrected him. [Your growth would be too slow if all you do is fight one person at a time. What you need is a battle, Zeras—a true war! That is the only way for your growth rate to spiral out of control.

Fight with people who can destroy you with a sneeze. And don’t just fight one of them; fight a minimum of 100 of such people at a single moment.

When you are surrounded from all sides by people whose hierarchy of strength is like gods compared to ordinary mortals, then those genes will awaken.

They will burst out to protect your life at the last second, and that is when you will learn your true power and true capabilities.]

“Are you asking me to fight Undying Realm experts?” Zeras asked, realizing where the system was leading him, and the thought of it almost caused his heart to spiral out of control.

[Yes! Those are the only people who can provide any challenge at all,] the system replied.

“Are you crazy? How can I fight with Undying Realm experts? The Divine Battle Sect was so massive in its true form that a single eyeball almost covered the entire sky before it reverted to a smaller size. And you want me to fight those types of entities?” Zeras asked, wondering if the system’s circuits were malfunctioning.

Even though he had previously stood up to the three envoys when they accused him of crimes, he only dared to do that because he knew he was right, and the entire crowd was behind him.

He had calculated that if the three envoys still tried to punish him, they would likely face backlash from all the lower realms, which was why he had been so bold back then.

He had never entertained the thought of actually battling them, much less winning. And now the system was asking him to fight with 100 such people?

A single release of their auras would wipe him from existence!

[Ah, Zeras. You remind me of when I was at your cultivation level, I remembered being sent to a war with armies of Undying Realm experts, with an army of my own True Universe Origin Rank devils! I had a close to 10,000-strong army of True Universe Origin ranks like me, and the Undying Realm army had nearly 80,000 Undying Realm experts,” the system explained.

“There’s no way you won the war. 80,000 Undying Realm experts against 10,000 True Universe Origin ranks? It would be an absolute massacre,” Zeras retorted. He had no doubt that even a single Undying Realm expert would wipe out hundreds of True Universe Origin ranks, much less 80,000 of them fighting against 10,000 True Universe Origin ranks.

[I died in that war,] the system replied, causing Zeras’s eyes to furrow. There was no sadness in the system’s voice—only a hint of pride.

[But that war meant the world to me,] the system said with unconcealable pride.

[I told my devil lords about the war, and none of them backed away, even when our odds of survival were less than zero percent. We all went to battle, and it was a true massacre.

The Undying Realm experts back then, when the laws were still complete, are beyond your imagination.

Their punches could tear through dimensions, and every simple move crushed souls to the point where they never returned to the cycle of Samsara.

Power was fundamentally power, unlike now, when the laws are broken, and you all of nowadays are just grasping in the dark, managing with what you can lay your hands on.

[Still, we fought a good battle, Zeras. Before my death, I counted 20,000 Undying Realm experts who died in my hands, and 10,000 more died in the hands of my devil lords.”

“That’s a lie!” Zeras exclaimed in disbelief, but the system cackled sinisterly in his head.

[You have no idea what power is, Zeras. No, that’s not everything. You have no idea what it means to rage so much that the world burns with your rage!

Bathed in blood, the river of fate flooded with the blood of gods’ children, a thousand celestial corpses piled over the cosmos, and 100,000 devil souls trapped before the gate of Samsara.

Not many would remember that war—the war that made me, Iruma Nagara, one of the most feared devils to ever exist.]
