I Hate Systems

S-Class Heroes were the strongest in the world. But, the elites even among them had been grouped by the Genesis Hero to create the Ranger Troupe, a group meant to deal with the strongest of threats their world faced.

And, it was them working all around to keep the Invaders under wraps, having done such an exceptional job that Hazen, Gehera, Truck-Kun, and Compass Carburettor combined had yet to find out.

Swoosh!

The Invader condensed a spiked hammer out of its hand and bashed the Hero, Earth Star, surprised to see the wound it created was just the size of a pinhole. This was surprising since it had expected a fist-sized hole to pop on his body.

"You are strong," Earth Star said as he dusted the impacted area on his body before clenching his hand into a fist.

"Keuk!" The Invader grunted all of a sudden, unable to move its body as it felt a terrifying gravitational pull on its body, preventing it from moving its limbs.

"You guys should stay put. We\'ll pay a visit shortly." Earth Star said as he clenched his fist harder, suddenly causing the gravitational field to phase into the Invader\'s body, creating a terrifying pull as its body collapsed and formed a core.

In a second, the Invader\'s body was destroyed and turned into a tiny sphere. Earth Star picked it up and placed it in the ground, unleashing his energy into it to burn like fuel. And the substance it produced as a result was absorbed by the ground to mend its damage.

Done with the Invader, Earth Star hurriedly turned around to stare at the other Invader, surprised to see Compass Carburettor still alive, \'How is this possible? He\'s not an S-Class Hero.\'

"Wait a second…" Just when he planned to rush towards the Invader, Compass Carburettor turned around and motioned for him to wait.

He then pointed at Millie, "Keep her safe. I need to ask this bastard a couple of things."

"Sure," Earth Star didn\'t wish to engage in a conflict with Compass Carburettor for the moment, not before the enemy. They could talk once the enemy had been subdued. So, he flashed before Millie and grabbed her, his other hand holding Vahor.

He didn\'t move away though, standing a couple of metres behind Compass Carburettor to see what he was doing. He planned to join in if the situation seemed to turn dire for them.

"Now," Compass Carburettor took in a deep breath, causing the various constructs he created to vanish as his figure dissipated like the mist.

"What?" Earth Star was startled, \'Was that teleportation?\'

\'No, it\'s something different. I couldn\'t even sense any energy waves from it.\' His expression turned solemn.

"Where…" The Invader muttered in confusion, using its various powers to scan around when suddenly, it blinked in shock, noticing that it was now staring at its body, with its head in the arms of a man.

"Now, let\'s perform an autopsy and see what happened over the years," Muttering as such, Compass Carburettor cut the Invader\'s head using his nail, peeling off its skull to stare at its brain. He gently touched it with his index finger and sent a virus cell inside, causing it to multiply rapidly before gaining control over the body.

Following that, all the virus cells merged into one and drilled out of its brain, looking like a finger-sized Compass Carburettor. It transmitted all the information to him through the thoughts that all Secret Society members possessed.

The answer was simple but terrifying, \'To think the Invader System managed to invade Immortal moments before his death. Just like me, it took advantage of that opportunity and strengthened its concept by many folds. So, just that not only healed its body but also reinforced its concept and allowed it to derive new powers.\'

\'It experienced an enlightenment!\' His expression turned solemn. At present, even though the Invader System might not be the strongest among Grade 3, it was the strongest at its current level.

Moreover, it was already the System with the fastest growth. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before it reached the peak of Grade 3. Unlike the other Systems, it only needed to invade other worlds.

And the stronger the world, the more it benefited from invading it, which is why it targeted Stencil\'s world. But thankfully, it had yet to realise that Stencil was living in this world.

Otherwise, it would result in another war as Zaira would take action personally. \'And this time, Immortal isn\'t there to save us.\'

With that, Compass Carburettor understood the nature of these Invaders. They were birthed in a world that the Invader System had created whose only purpose and existence was to invade other worlds.

This Invader only had information regarding its home world, but upon seeing that, Compass Carburettor muttered in all seriousness, "This world isn\'t strong enough to go against them yet."

"What are you on about?" Earth Star asked, having witnessed the tiny Compass Carburettor that emerged out of the Invader\'s brain.

"Hmm," Compass Carburettor eyed him before pointing his index finger at him, "I\'ll transmit the information directly into your mind. Relax for a moment."

"Sure," Earth Star did have his inhibitions, but he didn\'t resist. After all, he was confident in his strength. This was also why Compass Carburettor directly expressed his intention to transmit the information, for he could sense that Earth Star was damn strong.

Moreover, his potential seemed limitless. \'He embodies one of the strongest concepts birthed in this world.\'

Swoosh!

A ray of light entered Earth Star\'s mind as his brows furrowed mildly in response, feeling the information influx as he comprehended everything in a second, forming a stark contrast with Muscle Lantern who lost consciousness and had been exhausted for days.

"I see, what you said makes sense." Earth Star nodded in the end, "Our world doesn\'t have the strength to go against them yet. Our operation might fail."

"The Genesis Hero should know about this though," Compass Carburettor frowned before staring at Earth Star to say, "Let\'s go meet her now."

"Meet her? Who…are you?" Earth Star frowned, mildly tense as even he couldn\'t see through the opponent\'s strength.

"Well, you\'ll know soon." Saying so, Compass Carburettor strapped a watch on his wrist, watching the dials point in a certain direction as he smirked, grabbing Earth Star as the duo vanished.
