Chaos Evolution: Only I Was Granted 3 Wishes

Chapter 174: World Celestials!

"There is something keeping the world celestials in check despite their mind boggling powers." Truth continued his talk as everybody paid attention to his words, young and old.

There were some facts not known to even the oldest of celestials that Truth knew due to authority. This was not to say that Chaos, Love, and Life didn't know about the world's celestials and their weaknesses, but there could always be new information hidden within the old.

"World Celestials... can die." His words struck Alexander and Leona like thunder.

"They can die? How?" Leona, surprised by what they just heard, asked.

"It's simple; the same way their power is connected to their world and its citizens, their life is too." Truth replied, his tone calm.

'Well, isn't that quite similar to my situation, I just won't die if the six continents were to disappear from existence.' Draco thought to himself.

Truth took a quick look at him and then back at the other two.

"This is the price they have to pay in order to control all of the power and riches they have. I would say it is small if we look at the danger that can truly threaten them." Life added, speaking as if her words were the most obvious.

"That is right; within this galaxy of ours, the anti-celestials are considered the strongest force with their founder since he's the world celestial with the strongest world under his control." Truth confirmed.

"All of this is to show how small of a chance we have to ever turn the tables." Love shook her head with a defeated smile.

"Yes. Thus, I say, don't bother too much, just focus on your goals or whatever is driving you forward and leave the big matters to us." Truth smiled.

"That doesn't explain everything." Draco added.

"Hmm?" Truth, Love, and Life looked at Draco, not understanding what he meant by his words, or at least, that's what their looks conveyed.

"Becoming a world celestial isn't the only path forward, isn't it?" He asked with a glint on his eyes.

"Haha, you know what you're doing, Oh Chaos." Out of nowhere, Night appeared close to Draco, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I told you guys, we don't have to take the burden of protecting Portalia forever, we can just take the other path and come back in the end to free it from whatever oppression." Night smiled and said.

[The Target In Contact With You Is Unfriendly.] A notification from a function the system gained in its latest update surfaced in front of Draco.

Draco just took a look at night and back at the 3 celestials.

"I know that a world celestial is the strongest tier within the boundaries of the Heavenly Rank, but, even though a world calamity isn't as strong in his first few phases, once he has managed to completely devour a couple worlds, even a world celestial won't be able to defeat him." Draco added.

"You might be right, Chaos. But becoming a world devourer is the wrong choice and the last resort." Truth confronted Draco.

"No, he is not right, the act of killing all life within a world and destroying it is completely hideous; the righteous path that was meant for everybody is the path of a world celestial." Life was slightly offended at the mention of becoming a world devourer.

"Now, don't get me wrong. I am also against becoming a world devourer." Before Life could be even more offended, Draco tried to explain himself.

Everybody sat still, waiting for him to speak.

"It should be obvious; the right choice is to become a supreme celestial, and from there, become a world calamity. One way or another, you're causing the destruction of a world, so why not have the world be that of another rather than your own?" Draco's words hit the group here, where it hurt the most.

Indeed, if they didn't get stronger, then there would come a day when they would inevitably lose their world. If becoming a world devourer guaranteed them the chance to save their own by desotrying others', would they be a saint and refuse? None of them here would.

However, becoming a world destroyer had many consequences, and although it is faster in the early stages to just choose that path, later on down the line, it's much better to follow the right path.

"I'm sure you guys are thinking that this path you've chosen is the right one, but who really decided what was right and what was wrong? If you reach a high enough level, what can't you do? And what's going to ever stop you from doing what you want?

What's more important, saving your own flesh and that of those close to yours or wait like good lamb for the time the executor leisurely comes to slaughter you." Draco continued, every single one of his words putting a frown on everybody's face aside from Night, who had a smile.

[Target: Celestial Of Night is now Neutral towards the Host.] The system panel changed once again.

'I wonder what they will think of me by the end.' Draco thought as his gaze swiped through the remaining celestials until they met Life, who was resolutely looking at him.

"Young man, hear this from me. What you said isn't wrong, but everybody's goals and way of doing things is different. From your words, I believe that you wouldn't even think twice before deciding to ditch everything in order to achieve what you want. I won't berate you, but life shall forever be a gem that I will not harm unless it is tainted with danger." she said.

Surprisingly, her view of Draco remained friendly, even though what he said was quite offensive to her.

Draco smiled at her.

"You are right. I respect your decision." He replied.

"I respect your decision, but..." Suddenly, he repeated his words and stopped, gaining the attention of the group.

"Is what you have been going through all these years not enough of a reason to go to extreme measures before the inevitable happens?"
