Chapter 127 Plans Need To Be Re-Adjusted.
"As you know there is a Goddess who brought Louis to this world."
"I, who had been idling in this universe, by chance noticed her summoning Louis and realized that this boy may become someone great in the future. Therefore, I took the initiative to bond with him. But that Goddess was quick to notice my presence and became a little wary. She didn't take any action against me as I reasoned that I will surely help Louis in his rise because it was directly related to my own goal…but she still to be extra-sure put a restriction on me."
Selena's eyes became a little solemn.
"Thinking that my existence was vile and too risky, it is okay to say that she put more of a curse on me. When this curse activates, it automatically means that some harm has been done against the host."
With her words I was quick to figure it out.
'I must have devoured a part of Louis's luck without a doubt and took his chances, heck, now even this system belongs to me. Is this perhaps the reason the curse she is talking about, activated?'
-I believed in much of Selena's words, it was not worth it for her to lie to me as her life and death was already in my hands~
"Is that the reason you asked me to spare Louis for at least a month or two before… when I was about to directly behead him?"
Hesitating a little, she still opened her mouth~
"That's right! If you had killed him directly then the curse would have activated right away and the Goddess may also be directly summoned here."
"It's not like I was attached to Louis and begged you to save him. I just saw more potential in you at that time and thought it would be much better to follow you."
Hearing her words a chill ran through my spine. I realized how emotionless Selena as a system was! Betraying others was not a big deal. For her, only the end goal matters! Thankfully, I took her origin as I never believed in others in the first place.
"Do you think that Goddess will let you go that easy?"
"She must have made a lot of calculations, who knows what plan she is plotting by cultivating Louis here."
-Selena spoke calmly in her mechanical voice.
"But I still don't understand."
"Just now, I only took action against Shouta, stole his chance and girls, not directly targeted Louis, so why is this curse that you are speaking of is activated?"
This time I didn't had to wait as Selena instantly replied~
"It's because Shouta seems to be a similar person like Louis and the things destined for Shouta in this world can also be very well claimed by Louis, plus the moment you used simulation system against both of them, and somehow reduced their luck, the restrictions placed by the Goddess on me judged that Louis was harmed."
"Oh, so that's how it is! No wonder."
-I finally understood everything.
By saying Shouta and Louis were similar, I knew she was referring to the fact that both of them were perverted son of luck, the protagonist-template characters.
"Okay, now that the curse is activated, what will happen?"
eαglesnᴏνel "It won't affect you much."
"It's just now you can use the simulation system only once a month. And, likewise, can only invite the other members in simulation space too only once."
"You basically mean that whether its Shouta or Louis, I can use this system only once to leech off their benefits?"
-Hearing me questioning, Selena nodded.
"Not to forget, you already used it on both of them plus even used your this month's quota."
-Selena didn't forget to add in.
Hearing her, my mood which was quite elated some minutes ago, instantly went downhill.
"Damm, I already had the plan in my mind."
"Just take one or two…. more of their opportunities, then keep using the simulation system to devour their luck."
"Seems it was too unreal for me to think it would be that easy."
Selena just looked at my frowning face without any reaction.
With this information, my future plan was bound to be re-adjusted.
'In future, I can use the simulation system only once a month, I need to be extra- careful else the try will be wasted.'
As for Shouta and Louis, I wasn't much concerned.
To begin with, my tactics and planning never relied on the system to be successful.
"Okay, I got it."
"Now comes the important thing."
"The Goddess must be now aware that something happened with Louis, so will she come here?"
-I asked her what was on my mind.
As long as there was no one above my realm, I was pretty sure that even if the things go south I can do something about it.
"Yes and No."
Seeing me confused she kept speaking.
"To be precise, she is engaged in a big war. If she suddenly leaves and comes here, her forces are bound to suffer heavy losses."
"But then again, summoning someone like Louis requires a lot of divine energy, plus she was too careful while choosing such an easy middle level world for him to grow, and with the restrictions she placed on me, it shows how much importance she puts on Louis."
-One by one, Selena told me all the facts.
I agreed with her, no one in their right mind will be happy when a chess-piece they have been cultivating for years is suddenly lost.
Who knows what price that Goddess paid to successfully summon Louis?
That Goddess getting angry and having a grudge against me was a natural thing.
"I got everything."
"It's basically a race against time."
"I need to take care of Louis and Shouta before that Goddess comes."
"So… do I still need to wait for 2 months before taking action against Louis?"
-There was a big smile on my face.
"Haha", the expressionless face of Selena finally chuckled at my remarks.
"Why should we wait for Louis to grow up?"
-Selena too asked sarcastically.
"Okay, I told what I needed to say. I will rest now!"
-Without waiting for any reply, Selena disappeared into the system's space.
"Her hologram appearing and disappearing in thin air always gives this sci-fi feeling."
After Selena disappeared, I looked into the system's settings that were automatically changed because of the Goddess's curse.
"Sure enough, everything she said was not a dream."
"Never mind, I know I will figure out something."
"When it comes to looting and running away, no one is better than me, haha."
