I Hate Systems

807 Three Seconds Left

Regression Totem!

It was what Gehera had created in her Ruin of Amagoth after stealing the Regression System fragment's power.

Currently, it was gradually breaking down after absorbing the power of regression flowing into Stencil. It would at most last for a few more minutes. Before that, a solution had to be created for Stencil's survival.

Gehera didn't have the confidence in creating another Regression Totem even if Compass Carburettor allowed her the means to steal it. Her mental state was at rock bottom. And she was aware that she wouldn't obtain her father's support once again.

So, in her weakened state, stealing even a fraction of a Regression System fragment's power was impossible.

"Compass, blockade the power flowing into her for ten seconds." Dota said as it entered Stencil's body, "Not even a fraction should come inside. That would mess up everything. Whether it's power from Immortal's worlds, the collective consciousness or even the power of regression."

"Leave it to me." Compass Carburettor nodded and recalled all the Secret Society members—he could—that he had sent out of the Realm to target Arnark, condensing the power of everyone in himself as the bodies of everyone—in the form of Mental Energy streams—flowed into him.

Following that, he transformed into a Mental Energy stream and flowed into Stencil, following Dota's directory to arrive at a location in her Mind Space where power funnelled into Immortal's fragment in her.

There was a massive kilometre-wide tunnel before him as Dota pointed at the various energies flowing through it, "Blockade everything."

"What about the internal clean-up?" Compass Carburettor asked, observing in worry that Stencil's body had already regressed to thirty years in age and continued to progress further. "Regression's power is ever-present in her body."

They didn't have much time. The opponents would win the moment she becomes a baby and vanishes from existence.

"Leave that to me. I'll purify all external traces." Dota said as it seeped into the Immortal's fragment and latched onto it, beginning to devour it gradually while unleashing its signature ability.

System Punishment!

The traces of the Regression System's power in her body began to dissipate as a result before soon, Stencil's body was fully cleared, causing her body to stop regressing.

"Ten seconds, Compass, Hazen, Gehera." Dota said as all three focused on their respective tasks, focusing their entirety at its cue, "Now!"

Hazen had created a million selves of himself in Stencil's mind, with each punching forth any collective consciousness streaming into her mind. This way, he blocked the collective consciousness.

Compass Carburettor created rows upon rows of Secret Society members, erecting walls upon walls of Mental Fragments that worked in stopping the inflow of power from the Xianxia worlds.

The army he created consisted of two rows. The first row unleashed the power of Spirit Morph deep into the tunnel, transforming everything into Mental Fragments.

The second row unleashed Punisher Lightning onto the erected defensive walls, blockading the tunnel completely as the energy from the tunnel slammed into them and began to vaporise in response.

The walls strained under the load but the second row worked on strengthening the walls while raising the potency of the Punisher Lightning arching over it.

And finally, Gehera was focused on her Regression Totem, causing it to absorb the entirety of the power of regression flowing into Stencil. Though, such a load meant it would shatter even faster. The most she could handle was ten seconds.

The trio gave it their all to block all external powers from flowing into Stencil as Dota began to devour the Immortal fragment in her body, unleashing a mystical power to suddenly spark a reaction out of her choker.

System Punishment!

"Keuk!" The Happy-Go-Lucky System frothed at its mouth before vaporising, with the same happening to the Secret Refiner System and Skill-Breaker System too. Dota didn't wish to see any external components in Stencil that would risk her life.

Therefore, it destroyed the three Systems too.

Suddenly, her blood boiled as her body transformed into a coordinate as the power of the Neural Impulse Actuator fused into it. Finally, Dota's power too fused into the mix. These three powers formed Stencil's core power system from the start.

The Earth Divine Martial Spirit could break into three forms, and at the Martial Origin Stage, each could fuse with a separate fusion material.

The first fusion material was her Personal Fragment, the Neural Impulse Actuator.

The second fusion material was a Coordinate sourced from her dad—which was what he placed in her to make her a Beyonder.

The final fusion material was Dota's horns, one that allowed her to unleash System Punishment, filter Mental Energy to create the System of her choice, etc. It was what she used to create the Skill-Breaker System.

As it was already an inherent power composing her, Dota seeped itself into that while using its power of a Dragon of Systems to devour Immortal's fragment.

It had to be noted that Dota was birthed in a world closely resembling the System World. So, it had traits similar to the System World, in that it could absorb the essence of other universes and make them its own.

And as it was a product of a cultivation world in the first place, Dota was compatible with Immortal's fragment, smoothly devouring it while using it to form its body, all while deepening the connection with Stencil. As one-third of Stencil's core power was sourced from Dota, this connection was more than enough to reform her core and maintain the universality of her power.

Three Seconds!

Seven seconds were up as Dota noticed the trio of Compass Carburettor, Hazen, and Gehera reaching their limits already, hurrying up as it hastened the fusion process, condensing its body that acted as Stencil's core, the beating heart of her power system—the Dragon of System.

Roar!

Two walls erected before the tunnel collapsed as hundreds of secret Society members were devoured by the energy influx.

"Stooopppp!" Compass Carburettor bellowed in fury as immediately, the energy intent to destroy him transformed into Mental Fragments that formed a way to push forth the energy influx. The other Secret Society members worked in a hurry to erect another wall behind him.

If they hadn't erected three walls, they would have failed already. But even though they had endured, Compass Carburettor had reached his limit, for he was processing millions of thoughts in a fraction of a second in this war that had just lasted seven seconds.

Such a sheer computing necessity stressed him beyond the limit already, to a life-threatening extent even. But, he still needed to endure.

For, there were still three seconds before Dota completed the process.
