Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 21: A Gigantic Monolith

Zeras stood there numb, his mind reeling in confusion.

To protect Gaia?. Why? Is she in trouble? Besides with how weak he is right now, compared to Commander Shiron who was an EIA commander, there really wasn't much help he could provide.

"Help me protect Gaia..." He said once again as if afraid Zeras never got the information the first time.

"If that is your wish. I'll do everything to protect her, if it's within my power." Zeras said. He would agree to the man due to the help he provided him, but not at the cost of his discomfort.

"Good. That's all I need..." Commander Shiron said his expression becoming even more relaxed once again.

Zeras stood there quietly fror some time before asking with curiousity.

"Why do you ask for Gaia's protection, is she in danger?"

"I'm afraid telling you that would only bring more harm than good. Just know she's very important for the coming. She's very important for the upcoming..." Commander Shiron said staring into the vast expanse of space, with a green glow in his eyes as if he was staring into the far future.

"What is upcoming..." Zeras tried asking him but his attention was diverted when he saw something at the corner of his eyes.

The spaceship they were in suddenly slowed down as it came to a stop about a thousand meters before an object.

Zeras's jaw dropped to the floor in shock as he stared in front of him. The top of a gigantic Monolith piercing outside of space.

The Monolith was just so big it could be seen from outer space and the tip even pierced through the planet's atmosphere into space itself.

"What...What is that?"

"That is the Dimensional Tower. One of Earth's greatest treasures. It is said to be the size of a whole continent on Earth." Commander Shiron said with pride.

The spaceship slowly descended into the planet, as he saw other spaceships entering into the planet's atmosphere.

A blue wave of light scanned each ship before allowing them to move closer to the tower.

The spaceship slowly came to a halt as it descended and eventually came to rest on the ground.

Zeras moved out of the spaceship, beside him, a white-haired girl with pink top and skirt.

Gaia stood there also surprised by the new environment but she kept a neutral and uncaring face, one which will automatically repel anyone away from her.

Zeras waved at the spaceship, which slowly ascended into the air once again.

Within the blue screen of light, Zeras could still see Commander Shiron's figure as he stared at him with an approving smile and said something to him although Zeras only saw his mouth moving but it looked like:

"I'll be waiting for you at the EIA Base, Soldier.".

Zeras smiled as he slowly walked forward towards the Gigantic gate before the Monolith.

Arriving before the gate, it was automatically opened for them after they have been scanned by a strange red light.

There were more than a thousand people all around the age of 16 inside the gate, each seated around a prominent dais.

It was built in the form of an open hall, with black obsidian colour rocks covering the ground and a gigantic dais at the far end of the place.

The top of the Monolith couldn't be seen again from here as it was hidden among the sea of clouds and barely visible. But it was really huge.

Zeras looked at Gaia as he discovered she was already gone before he could even notice. Mixing among the thousand other people.

He also moved towards one of the chairs as he sat down on it, when he suddenly felt a person call out to him:

"Hello." Zeras slowly turned as looked at the young man beside him, a little dazed.

The boy was the same height as him, with pale white skin and hair that reached down to his shoulders. His eyes contained no pupils at all, but what surprised Zeras the most were those ears. They were long and pointed at the tip. One thing was sure, This was an alien race.

"Hi..." Zeras replied back politely, a little nervous.

"I'm Triton from the Elvian race. Is this your first time with an alien race." Triton asked staring at the blue haired human in front of him.

"Yeah, you can say so." Zeras replied honestly curious about this alien boy.

"Me too. Although I've read a lot about Humans back in my home. This is the first time I've ever seen them real life..." Triton replied and Zeras could feel the boy's honesty in his tone and expression.

"So you want to join the EIA too?" Zeras asked curiously.

The EIA was mainly an Earth group but it was in association with different other planets and races making them have even non-humans among them.

"Yes. I want to. Partly because of my obsession with studying other alien species." Triton replied looking at Zeras.

"Then I hope you successfully pass the trial."

"Yeah I definitely will." Triton answered as he directed his attention away and kept communicating with the others.

"A really strange Elvian with a strange dream." Zeras muttered to himself.

He also looked around the place as he saw although the majority of the people are humans, about 40% are alien groups with humanoid forms.

"So many life-forms..." Zeras was shocked by what he saw and wondered just what future in the EIA had in store for him.
