I Hate Systems

[Traveller: Give me a minute. I\'m not done triggering Immortal yet]

[Idiot: Is it time to target them?]

[Compass: We need to hurry. This has to be done before Immortal breaks free]

[Traveller: I\'ll bring you there. Each of us will be hiding within a Grade 1 System respectively. So, act subservient towards the stronger Systems]

Compass Carburettor exhaled a soft breath as Ahjar flickered behind him stealthily, grabbed him, and vanished.

Secondary Factor—Shadow!

Activating his second power, Ahjar sent Compass Carburettor into the body of a Grade 1 System—Overdrive (Level 48)!

Following that, he sent Hazen into the body of the Grade 1 System—Intelligence (Level 99)!

Lastly, he entered the body of the Grade 1 System—Bully (Level 14)!

\'Overdrive, that\'s a familiar name.\' Compass Carburettor observed through the senses of the Overdrive System. The first time he saw its power in action was in the hands of Regriel, the Host of the Slave-Harem System. He just employed a one-time use Skill of the Overdrive System. Back then, it was at level 31.

It seemed to have had decent gains as it was now at level 48. But in this era of System Supremacy where all Systems were growing at a rapid pace, the Overdrive System\'s growth was lacklustre at best.

[Compass: Do it, Hazen]

[Idiot: Okay]

Origin Art—Gloss Over!

The three Systems suddenly went into a trance as next, Ahjar actuated his powers derived from the Secondary System. Using the Secondary Factor of Shadow, all three were able to control their respective Systems.

When a figure moves, its shadow moved accordingly. Ahjar\'s secondary factor was to become that entity\'s shadow. And when the shadow moved, the concept of Space ensured the entity casting the shadow moved accordingly to match the cast shadow. Through this, he controlled the actions of the entity.

"Let\'s go," Saying so, the Overdrive System connected to the Astral Network and used it to bring them to a quarantined location in the System World.

Rawr!

Help!

Save…me!

Intermittent squeals resounded from the quarantined area as the Systems sealed within were in a maddened state.

"Suppress their madness." The Overdrive System said to the Intelligence System.

Immediately, from within the Bully System, Ahjar created a spatial tunnel connecting the Intelligence System and the maddened Systems. If they activated their powers from within these Grade 1 Systems, the Grade 1 Systems would explode, unable to endure the energy streams.

Moreover, doing so would alert Zaira, for the System World innately rejected everything foreign.

The trio were combining their powers to act like Systems while still employing their powers.

Hazen\'s powers seeped into the maddened Systems and for a moment, suppressed their madness.

Right at this time, Compass Carburettor focused, watching the Psyche Star filter collapse as he used the last of his potent power.

Psyche Star—Mental Peace!

"I…feel at peace." One of the Systems sighed in exhaustion, finally feeling freedom, as if making a recovery from an illness that plagued it for millions of years.

[Compass: Ahjar, now!]

Without letting a moment\'s clarity go to waste, Compass Carburettor watched as Ahjar created a spatial tunnel connecting him to all the Systems in the quarantined area.

Universe Weapon: Ring of Secrecy—Secret Society!

Compass Carburettor watched the Ring of Secrecy turn dull, expended of all its energy as instantly, all the Systems became members of Secret Society. To further reinforce the culling of madness, the last of his powers took effect.

Psyche Star—Morning Dew!

"Hah…haha." A certain System situated at the centre of the quarantined area, one with the most number of seals teared up, finally feeling a clear mind. It sensed that the madness in it had receded to a large extent, almost sealed up.

It would take some time before its condition would revert to madness, "But until then, I can be myself. How…long has it been?"

Grade 3 System—Ancient Strengthening (Level 291)!

It was one of the strongest Grade 3 Systems back in the day. When Zaira felt too daring, she launched an expedition to farm some of Mystique\'s worlds. Ancient Strengthening System took the lead back then. The result was disastrous. They had underestimated Mystique too much.

After that, not a moment went by when it wasn\'t mad. The level of madness varied over time, fluctuating erratically, but not a moment went by when it could return to its original self. And finally, after millions of years, the Ancient Strengthening System was free, "But, such an irony."

"I\'m no longer part of the group I fought for."

It was now a member of Secret Society. And the moment it intends, it could shed its self as a System and be reborn as a Haggon.

"I need you to rampage around as much as you can." Ahjar spoke from within the Bully System as he gently seeped in his power into the quarantine area, "I\'ve turned the seals fragile. The moment you move, they would break."

One Grade 3 System, 17 Grade 2 Systems, and 41,783 Grade 1 Systems. All had been turned into Secret Society members. The Grade 2 and Grade 3 Systems were the highlight, since it was rare for them to be at one location as a single, unified entity.

"Damn youuu!" Right at this time, Anak\'s roar reverberated throughout the System World. His voice leaked inside through the breach, coupled with vast waves of Spirit energy. The addition of eleven of his strongest Xianxia Worlds strengthened Immortal to a great extent, so much so that the Representative System fragment in him was unable to hold him back anymore.

"Now, move!" Ahjar grabbed Hazen and Compass Carburettor as the trio vanished.

"This is getting interesting," Laughing in response, the Ancient Strengthening System waved its hand and shattered all the seals in the quarantine area. It then addressed the over forty thousand Secret Society members, "Let\'s rampage throughout the System World. We have finally regained a moment of clarity in our long lives of suffering. Let\'s vent to our hearts\' fill."

"Yeah," Roaring in response, all the Systems vanished, using the Astral Network to spill all across the System World. Their mental clarity was just a temporary result thanks to Compass Carburettor\'s Psyche Stars.

They were aware that it would rebound. So before that happened, they intended to rampage.

"Keuk!" The Ancient Strengthening System felt madness creep into its mind once again as it hurried towards a forest area and gazed upon a Grade 3 System that had just arrived. Followed by a roar, it attacked the Grade 3 System.

Two behemoths rolled around in the forest, flattening the trees. As both sides were injured, blood in the form of Mental Energy spilled out.

The Ancient Strengthening System\'s blood though, was filled with madness, polluting the region as the nearby fleeing Systems screamed in pain as madness gradually set in them too.
