The protagonist explores a forbidden island alone, accompanied by a zero puppet. He locates a building and detects Forbidden Wizards and Magic Lords inside. He ambushes a cloaked Forbidden Wizard who emerges from the building and pulls him into his system space. The protagonist attempts to crush the wizard with a gravity spell, but the wizard breaks free and unleashes forbidden-level poison wind rule power.

Forbidden Island

The black-hooded wizard stood stunned. His attack was supposed to land on something, but it clearly hadn’t. Right then, he noticed his weird surroundings.

He saw only blue all around him. His face looked pale. He looked down at his feet below and saw a blue grid floor.

It stunned him even more. He wondered whether he had been trapped in some kind of ruin.

The Forbidden Black Mists Island was known for having many secrets. He had tried to explore it many times, but he wasn’t able to enter the mainland back then.

When he finally had the chance to enter the mainland, he was caught by the covenant wizards. Who knew? The terrifying island had given accommodation to the evil organization.

He collected his thoughts and flew straight ahead. He wanted to find the end of the path. Just like his attack, the end of the path was nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, inside the control room, I was watching the activities of the black-hooded wizard. I didn’t expect the Forbidden Rule Power to be so destructive.

It had easily crushed my black domain. Even the eightfold stack didn’t help. My eyes flickered with some understanding.

Ultimately, it was just a spell to increase quantity, not quality. The Forbidden Wizard possessed greater quality.

If I were a Magic Lord, I could have put him under pressure. But my options were limited because I was only a Supreme Wizard.

Seeing that the black-hooded wizard was trying to find the end, my mouth curved into an arc. I had been worried that the system might not handle the energy explosion.

But I was wrong. It had endless space. It could make a person run in circles.

For the time being, there was no threat from the Forbidden Wizard. I could deal with him later.

Swoosh!

Next, I appeared back outside with the Zero Puppet.

My gaze fell on the building. There were still Magic Lords inside. They didn’t even know that the Forbidden Wizard had left the place.

Then, I instructed the Zero Puppet to knock them down one by one. The red smoke obeyed the order and rushed toward the building.

I stayed in the same spot.

In the blink of an eye, the red smoke reached the brick building. It then looked for an entrance and came across a wooden window.

It sneaked in through the window. Next, it came across the five wizards inside.

They were all Magic Lords, and they were discussing the disappearance of the Forbidden Wizard.

They had all been instructed to stay here at their posts. That was why none of them had left to look for him.

They didn’t know the red smoke was listening to their conversation. The Zero Puppet, in its red smoke form, looked for a way to knock them down.

"Let’s go outside."

"We’ve taken enough of a break. If he comes back, he might attack us," one of the Magic Lords said.

Hearing that, the others agreed. One by one, the Magic Lords exited the room. When the fifth one was about to leave,

Smash!

He was hit by something from behind. The brute attack was so heavy that his mind went blank for a second.

Swoosh!

The next second, I appeared outside, grabbed him, and put him inside the system space. After doing that, I reappeared in the mansion right away.

Thud!

The Magic Lord crashed to the ground, landing face-first.

He was stunned. He was a middle-aged man. The impact made him gather his senses. He then raised his head and looked at his surroundings.

He saw the blue environment all around him. He couldn’t process the situation at first. Then, he realized that no one was around him.

It appeared he had landed inside a new environment. He stood up and began to look around.

He could only see endless blue covering the surroundings. He couldn’t see the sky or the horizon. His eyes flashed with fear.

"Don’t tell me this is just another one of their traps. It looks more terrifying than the prison island," the middle-aged man muttered to himself.

Like many others, he had been captured and forced to work for the Evil Covenant Organization.

On the other hand, I was inside the control room again. I could sense what was happening in the system. The black-hooded Forbidden Wizard was running endlessly.

He couldn’t return to his previous spot; the system was deliberately preventing it. Then, I noticed that the new Magic Lord was bewildered by the environment as well.

I instructed the system to isolate the two of them so they wouldn’t meet each other. The system complied.

Hearing that, I wondered why I hadn’t thought of using the system space like this before. I had only used it as an inventory. But with endless space, I could use it to my advantage as well.

A good plan formed in my mind.

As time passed, the other Magic Lords realized that one of their companions hadn’t left the house, he had stayed behind.

They only noticed a couple of minutes after leaving. Those who were nearby made their way back. Upon their return, they were smacked by the Zero Puppet.

Seizing the opportunity, I brought them into the system space one by one. It didn’t take long for me to pull the other four inside.

Now, all five Magic Lords were imprisoned inside the system space. After visiting a place like the underground prison cell, I came to realize that my system space wasn’t weak either.

Endless space was its own kind of prison. None of them could meet each other now.

They could only run endlessly, just like the black-hooded wizard. As I thought more about it, a crazy idea formed in my mind.

First, I decided to look for clues.

Swoosh!

I appeared back inside the building. The Zero Puppet, still in red smoke form, was in the room.

I immediately used the system to scan the surroundings. No threats were detected nearby.

Next, I instructed the Zero Puppet to look for clues. There were some notebooks and papers on the desk.

The red smoke drifted toward the desk and began to inspect the documents.
