Chapter NaN: Benefits of the Restriction Order
Chapter NaN: Benefits of the Restriction Order
Unfortunately for the Systems, their plans fell a tad short. After all, the one that had looked through Gallo’s memories wasn’t the actual Compass Carburettor, but a projection of the past.
So, Gallo’s luck wasn’t significantly reinforced as would have been the case with the original. Had Compass Carburettor fallen prey to Gallo, he would be displaying a sense of pity for him all the time. And whenever he planned to kill Gallo, his sense of pity would be triggered.
And this sense of pity itself would become the luck that protected Gallo from death. Meaning, Compass Carburettor himself would become his enemy, truly turning Gallo invincible.
After that, Gallo’s Silly Luck would slowly permeate throughout the Gaider Realm and turn all his plans useless.
The Cultivation World Compass Carburettor waved his hand, summoning a past version of himself, one that was unaware of Gallo’s past, causing him to exit the Reality Marble and inform the original about the situation briefly.
Immediately after that, two Apocalypse World Compass Carburettors entered the Reality Marble, facing their hands towards Gallo, unleashing Dota’s ability of System Punishment.
Gallo couldn’t even react when he sensed something in his body being destroyed. He didn’t know what that was, but he felt a tad relieved when that happened for some reason.
The Apocalypse World Compass Carburettors continued to unleash the System Punishment five times before vanishing. Immediately after, two new Apocalypse World Compass Carburettors arrived, beginning the same once again.
Slowly, they continued to destroy the Silly Luck System within Gallo’s body. With him having zero Origin Essence, not to mention his overall luck values being suppressed by Compass Carburettor in a domain he had created exclusively to trap Gallo in, the Silly Luck System was unable to do anything.
Even when it activated its luck-based Skills through his mind, nothing happened. After all, there were no elements it could use within the Reality Marble.
And every time it targeted the Reality Marble, Compass Carburettor retracted it while activating another similar-looking Reality Marble. This way, its luck Skill’s activation turned useless.
In this manner, he slowly whittled it down, continuing to destroy its body little by little. A couple of hours later, Gallo died and revived shortly after, feeling light on his toes.
He felt like something within him had been extracted, but at the same time, he felt like he was free. He didn’t have the capacity to make a detailed analysis but was just able to feel this instinctively.
Standing away from him was Compass Carburettor, smiling as he looked at the Coordinate in his hand. Of course, he had killed the Silly Luck System without harming its Host, Gallo.
This was only possible thanks to the sheer difference in their power.
After a moment of thought, he absorbed the Coordinates, closing his eyes as he sensed the three planets in his mind space, able to see minor fluctuations in the place that became stale immediately after.
But, upon a closer look, he noticed the chains bounding the Apocalypse World was trembling minutely, causing him to smile, “It seems as I absorb the Coordinates and grow stronger, the chains wouldn’t be able to restrict me for long.”
“But before that, I must find a way for Rhizen to steal the Restriction Order.” Thinking as such, he opened his eyes. There were many reasons he planned to work with Rhizen.
After all, the majority of his powers originated from the Apocalypse World. This included Dota, which allowed him to use the System Punishment.
Moreover, the power structure of the Apocalypse World didn’t have any fixed limits. Meaning, even in the future, he could continue growing by obtaining more and more Mutated Beasts. His power from Earth had long since reached its limit, same for his power from the Darble World.
He had already attained the peak of both the Personal Fragments. Only his third Personal Fragment, the Dimensional Space had room for growth. And that was connected to the Apocalypse World.
So, if the Apocalypse World becomes free from the control of the Systems, it would imply an increase in his power. Moreover, the Systems wouldn’t be able to threaten him using the world as collateral.
At present, he wasn’t sure if his Personal Fragment would lose all its power if the respective world it derived the laws from were to be destroyed. Maybe the Systems decided that it wasn’t worth destroying a world over an individual.
But if he were to continue growing stronger, then they would definitely consider it in the future. And if that was indeed true, then they can cripple him instantly by destroying all his worlds.
That would instantly turn him weak, making him an easy target for the Systems.
So in order to avoid that scenario, using the Restriction Order on the Apocalypse World was beneficial for him too. This way, the Systems wouldn’t be able to target that world, allowing him to be in peace that he wouldn’t at least lose one Personal Fragment, the strongest in his arsenal.
“Boy, don’t walk alone, got it?” Compass Carburettor glared at Gallo, chiding him, “Now, return to your room.”
“But…how do I do that?” Gallo asked, tilting his head in response.
“Don’t you see that door here?” Compass Carburettor pointed at a patch of grass within which a half-covered door came into being.
“The door was here all along?” Gallo was surprised as he approached the door, intending to open it when he slipped, falling face-first into the door. “Ouch!”
He slowly got up after that, opened the door, and fell through it by tumbling down. When he woke up, he found himself atop the bed in his room, surprised as he looked around, unable to see the door any longer, “Where was that?”
“Maybe if I make some friends, I can share this incident with them.” He smiled happily before closing his eyes to sleep.
Standing outside his door was Compass Carburettor, hearing his words as he sighed, turning around to walk away, still angry, “Those fuckers will pay.”
“I’ll become their nightmare.”
