I Hate Systems

1055 Stencil, Gehera, Rhizen, Rahakh: Subjected

Grah!

Rawr!

Aargh!

Zaira felt irritated as she proclaimed the birth of the fourth Grade 4 System, staring at the bound figure of Gehera. The chains she used to confine Gehera were constantly consumed by the latter, "What a troublesome brat."

"I'll deal with her," Slayer said, cracking his knuckles as he was raring to have a go at Gehera now.

"That won't be necessary," Zaira said as immediately, Mental Energy surged into Gehera, overwhelming her Ruin of Amagoth until it was filled to the brim, no longer able to devour any more power.

Just as Gehera intended to attack using them, Mental Energy seeped into her mind and blocked her thought process, causing her to become no different from a doll.

Following that, Zaira grinned as she clenched her hand into a fist.

"Wait, are you serious about this?" Slayer exclaimed in shock upon seeing her actions, "Wouldn't it be better to steal her power and kill her?"

"Why should we do that?" The Fate System exited the Serpent Universe as he dusted himself and grinned, "Killing her would only cause Compass to exact revenge upon us. Making him focus all his strength to kill us would cause a lot of economic loss for the System World."

"Instead, it's better to convert his loved ones into our allies and make them duke it out with each other." The Fate System grinned cunningly as he stared at Zaira, "Isn't that true, mother?"

"Pretty much what I had in mind," Zaira nodded as she yanked her fist forcefully, extracting Gehera's experience, mind, memories, etc., and devoured them.

"Stop!" A voice resounded from her Ruin of Amagoth as a human middle-aged man bellowed in rage, attacking using all the powers of the Ruin of Amagoth.

"A ghost of the past should remain as such." Slayer snorted as he waved his hand and eradicated the projection. It was the final layer of protection installed into the Ruin of Amagoth by Gehera's father, something she had relied upon once in the past to steal a portion of the Regression System's power.

But now, it was no more, destroyed by the enemies that vastly outclassed it.

The Ruin of Amagoth dissipated as all its data was extracted through Mental Energy and devoured by Zaira.

Gehera's lifeless body collapsed to the ground as Zaira no longer bothered with it. A day later, she spat out a Coordinate and poured all the extracted data into it, expending a twentieth of the System World's Mental Energy reserves, pouring in all the related Mental Energy to assist in the creation.

Boom!

A human woman whose lower half was lodged within a pyramid appeared. The woman had the same appearance as Gehera, but she was now a System.

Grade 3 System--Ruination (Level 200)!

"Ruination?" Slayer frowned in response, "I thought Gehera's powers would revolve around stealing her enemy's powers..."

"It does," Zaira nodded, "But I also added apocalyptic elements to it, because why not? I need someone to replace Apocalypse."

"I'm...a System now?" Gehera stared at her morphed body but wasn't even the least sad. She was still the same individual as before, but her disposition had changed, considering herself to be on the side of the Systems, an absolute thought process.

"Welcome, Ruination." Zaira smiled pleasantly at the addition of a new Grade 3 System, "Why don't you flex your powers and get used to your stature as a Grade 3 System?"

"Flex on whom...I got it." Gehera stared at the Universe Serpent, focusing on one of the worlds in its mouth. She turned into a ray of light and entered that world, immediately beginning to transform its fundamental laws.

But a moment later, she returned, shaking her head slowly, "The madness is too much there. It's a waste of Mental Energy."

"Well, I guessed that. Anyway," Zaira beckoned for Slayer and Gehera to follow her as she poked a hole in the Serpent Universe's tail and entered it, appearing before the exhausted figures of Rhizen and Stencil.

"Zaira...?" Stencil muttered weakly before she observed Mental Energy drilling into her body like a tsunami. Her resistance was futile. After all, they were in the System World where Zaira's power was absolute.

Rhizen stared at the scene and laughed mockingly, "Fuck this life!"

Zaira used the same process as before to convert Stencil into a System.

Grade 3 System--Constellation (Level 200)!

She then focused on Rhizen as her lips curled into a smile, "That was a worthwhile investment. I can claim Grade 3 Luck."

Grade 3 System--Luck (Level 200)!

Rhizen became the Grade 3 System, Luck. Zaira then stared at the 24 Rings world, "There is one more individual of use here..."

Bang!

"No, stop!" Just as she was about to tear open the 24 Rings world, a cobra rushed out of Rhizen's world and leaped towards Zaira. But it couldn't even approach Zaira when Rhizen swatted it away.

"Something related to Compass?" Zaira asked upon staring at the bloodied figure of the cobra.

"Nothing worth mentioning," Rhizen said, "It's a companion of Compass created in my world. This was before he became the Main Character, so its fate itself isn't anything worth commenting about."

"I can see that," Zaira didn't concern herself with Dita's fate as she cracked open the 24 Rings world like an egg and yanked out the unconscious figure of Earth Star, smiling in response, "Nice, I can turn him into a guard dog for the System World."

Grade 3 System--Guardian (Level 200)!

"With this, all entities of importance have been brought to my side." Zaira was joyful, for she gained four Grade 3 Systems through this endeavour, not to mention converting Slayer to her side.

He became the most valuable Grade 4 System, one with the power to make even Genre Representatives his Host.

'No...this can't be happening!' Dita stared at the figures of Stencil and Rhizen being turned into Systems, 'This is a nightmare! How...can this happen? No, this shouldn't be true.'

Dita was in a state of emotional breakdown as madness gained control over her mind, causing her bloody figure to just twitch in place on the ground, amid the corpses strewn around in the battle between the two sides in the Serpent Universe.

"Is this universe valuable?" Zaira muttered as she stared at the Serpent Universe and gazed at Stencil to hear her opinion.

"Fate's actions caused madness to fuse with it. The Serpent Universe will progressively become more infectious. Due to the madness, we cannot even gather a decent extent of Mental Energy from this place. It'll just be a loss-making endeavour."

"Then, no use having it in my world. It's hard to hold back the laws of the System World from destroying it, so guess this is it." Zaira waved her hand casually and chucked the Serpent Universe out through a portal, "To the dumpster it is."

"No...nooo!" Dita wailed pitifully as the Serpent Universe was chucked into a dangerous world with violent energy storms, filled with everything undesirable for the ruling powers of the multiverse. As strange creatures converged upon the Serpent Universe, Dita despaired, "This is a nightmare! Save me,"

"Uncle!"
