Reincarnated as a World

Ch.287 Dark Thoughts

Zero had already shifted into his Enlightened Form by now, revealing an impressive height of 2 metres, pale alabaster skin, long silver hair with strands of white that shimmered in the rain, large flared wings of the same colouring, and lastly, all black eyes that made everyone wary.

He was a handsome man that had a unique colouring and impressive physique, however, those dark eyes of his almost completely ruined it.

No one had ever seen eyes like that and what’s worse was that they all knew that Zero only had an affinity with wind and (quite recently) ice. None of those 2 elements were black in colour, so why did Zero have such terrifying black eyes?

The eyes weren’t even just cosmetic either. The feeling they gave off was very cold, very dark and very oppressive. Clearly, whatever made those eyes the way they were was dangerous. And to add insult to injury, as an Owl Zero already had large unblinking eyes that were prone to staring. To have such eyes focused on you could make anyones skin crawl.

What kind of evolution did Zero receive? Was it even an evolution? Could he have obtained those eyes the same way Pharaoh obtained his 3rd one?

These were the thoughts people had as they eyed Zero and his entourage. Well, that and his vicious war feats over the past few years. Everybody had heard about them but they hadn’t worried much in the past because they knew that after provoking the Phoenix King to such an extent, his future was very bleak, and that was being optimistic.

But in a sudden turn of events, it had become necessary for everyone to put away their hatred and form a huge alliance, all for the purpose of putting an end to the grand threat that was Envy. Now, everybody knew that if Zero survived without losing too much of his peak forces, he would be here to stay, just like Pharaoh.

“So you decided to come, Grey One.”

So in order to prevent that, he did more covert assassinations that his opponents could only react to, and that meant he only had about 5 people with him at any given time. However, sometimes they would fall into traps and suddenly end up in a confrontation with someone like Isgard. Needless to say, such events ended in tragedy.

It wasn’t a super big loss since he never brought that many people with him, but each time he had to abandon his brethren he would feel an icy cold seep into his veins that little by little began to warp his mind, making him cruel and vicious.

Honestly, for a while now he had been suppressing his growing dark thoughts, preventing himself from doing something that would be... too far. But if Isgard was going to keep looking at him like that...

“Isgard.” A voice suddenly barked.

Zero eyed the Phoenix King who had just spoken up. It wasn’t the first time he had seen Chad since he had attended a few meetings in the past, but he couldn’t help but think that the man was a little unfathomable. He couldn’t gauge his strength.

He then turned to the woman by his side. She was very, very beautiful, with pale white skin and icy hair that depicted a great affinity with ice. However, more unique than her beauty was the rumours that surrounded her being. It was said that she had somehow obtained an Enlightened Form before even entering the Enlightened Beast Realm, and that she had phenomenal powers that others of similar cultivation couldn’t match.

She was Aliana, Chad’s true mate.

For a moment, Zero’s eyes flickered between the 2 of them, and once more, he had dark thoughts revolve around his mind. Thoughts that would probably make Envy’s past deeds look tame.
