I Hate Systems

"Quick, we need to reinforce the System World." Monarch System shouted as it accompanied its group of Grade 3 Systems, connected to the Astral Network, and returned to the System World.

They were Systems at the end of the day. So, the moment their home—the System World—was intruded upon, they dropped everything and returned. It was in their instinct to do so.

Monarch System took the lead as it charged out and clashed with Technocraft. As more and more Grade 3 Systems joined the mix, Technocraft was overwhelmed.

Typically, a Grade 3 System was on par with a Genre Representative in strength. The top 10 Genre Representatives were able to face more than one Grade 3 System.

And in the past, the top 5 Genre Representatives—Mystique, Mascot, Technocraft, Magister, and Immortal—were able to fight more than three Grade 3 Systems each. They were also the sole entities capable of taking on the Grade 4 Systems.

Originally, it was always Immortal that had taken the vanguard in facing Zaira. As a result, his worlds were also the worst affected by her retaliation.

Technocraft was strong, insanely strong. But even he couldn't face three Grade 4 Systems and over a dozen Grade 3 Systems. Mascot was facing Zaira while Magister dealt with the Genre Representatives.

The immortal army could only stall against the Grade 3 Systems. So, the pressure was on Technocraft. And slowly but surely, the damage to his energy-condensed form continued to spike as he was killed repeatedly.

If the situation kept pace, Technocraft would be defeated in the end. Moreover, Grade 3 Systems continued to arrive at the scene.

At this time, right as the Monarch System was about to smack Technocraft, its body suddenly flickered and vanished, in an instant appearing behind Immortal as its attack landed on him.

"Argh!" Anak shouted in pain as he glared at the Monarch System, "Where the fuck are you aiming at?"

"Shut up and focus!" The Monarch System snorted and went away. It couldn't understand why it teleported all of a sudden like that, but when it tried to think of the reason, it glitched.

Following that, it went about with the fight as usual.

Hiding within its body was Ahjar, conversing with the entity hidden in its mind, "See, I told you this would work. Continue glitching its thought process. I'll time the attacks."

"But, is this enough to turn the tides?" Hazen asked in worry, "It's impossible to send the Grade 3 Systems away since the System World is in danger."

"We're not controlling the Grade 3 Systems anymore," Ahjar flashed his teeth with a cunning grin, "The situation will take care of itself once we trigger Immortal."

"Trigger Immortal?" Hazen couldn't understand, "What would that change?"

"Just do as I tell," Ahjar waved his hand calmly, "Even though it's currently Anak that has become Immortal, at the end of the day, Immortal is Immortal. The essence of his being is to make myth a reality."

"And," He laughed, "You know how cultivators are. They don't like being subservient."

"Okay, I'm listening." Hazen followed Ahjar's advice as he prepped up enough power. And suddenly, Ahjar transported both of them into the body of another Grade 3 System.

Ahjar hid them while Hazen influenced its mind. Following that, the Grade 3 System targeted Immortal.

One after another, the Grade 3 Systems continued to attack Immortal, most of which landed squarely on his face. Even though Immortal healed from the attacks, by now, rage was building up in him. "You dumbasses, if you dare attack me one more time…"

The Monarch System appeared behind him right this time and exploded his head with a punch.

Boom!

Immortal reformed his body as a torrent of Spirit Energy burst out of him, applying pressure on all the nearby entities, most of which were the Grade 3 Systems. With a twist of his wrist, Immortal condensed a corrosive sword and slashed the Monarch System, causing a large gash on its body.

Moreover, the attack caused a part of its body to vaporise, which shouldn't happen because the Monarch System had arrived here only after fusing with the world that acted as its physical body.

Only if it arrived in its System Body would it begin vaporising. A Grade 3 System's body was robust enough to easily offset this dissipation. But to avoid sustaining damage to itself, it always arrived after fusing with a world.

This was why it took time for the Grade 3 Systems to arrive at the scene. But now, the Monarch System observed that Immortal's attacks targeted its System body. "How is this possible?"

What it wasn't aware of was that when Immortal's attack landed on it, Hazen layered the attack with his energy that was capable of wounding a System.

This was the energy developed by his world using Arnark's original body, created to kill the Systems, further strengthened by Hazen recently—Enema.

The Enema trickled down into the Monarch System's body and wounded it. Even when the Monarch System infused Mental Energy into the region, the injury didn't heal, making it realise that if this injury were to destroy its Coordinate, it would die.

Normally, a Genre Representative's attacks couldn't even interact with a Coordinate. As a result, the System couldn't be killed. Even if its body was destroyed, it could revive within the System World.

"How dare you attack me?" The Monarch System was surprised at the rage-filled words that leaked out of its mouth. It then launched a full-scale assault on Immortal, beating up the latter severely.

The more he was beaten up, the more his anger grew. Eventually, Immortal became frustrated, especially since the Representative System fragment in his body was constantly controlling his actions.

Originally, the first time he unleashed his Genre Representation, Anak understood what Immortal truly was. And now, that ego was only being reinforced by the beatings he received.

"That's enough!" Anak bellowed as he no longer listened to the Representative System fragment in his body. Even when the latter destroyed him from within to control him, Anak pressed forth with his choice and attacked the Monarch System.

Through sheer will, he resisted the Representative System fragment and attacked recklessly. In response, Slayer sent more of his body into Anak to tighten the control.

Right at this moment, having been waiting for Anak's frustration to erupt tangibly was Compass Carburettor, barely succeeding on time to complete his preparation as he snapped his finger, exhausted as his Psyche Stars were almost expended.

At his command, two hundred thousand Grade 1 Systems, those that had grown through Cultivation Worlds leaped into eleven worlds and killed themselves, causing these worlds to absorb their essence and grow in foundation.

Instantly, eleven terrifying worlds returned to their prime, sending thick energy streams into Immortal to the extent his strength exploded by over dozen times. After all, these worlds were special.

They were the biggest among Immortal's worlds, Xianxia worlds capable of housing even Gods, thousands of them. And their revival sparked the return of Xianxia.
