I Hate Systems Chapter 1114: It’s Time For The Main Character

"Come on, croak for Grandpa." Immortal was having the time of his life, repeatedly smacking the Regression System's face. Instead of defending against the opponent's attacks, he chose to trade blow for blow, dedicating his entire focus to offense.

He didn't merely strike the Regression System; he deliberately targeted its face. The Regression System appeared as a colossal mass of Mental Energy, akin to a pulsing quasar in the void. However, the area housing its Core Skill could be considered its brain or heart. In human terms, the part of its head facing the opponent during combat was its face. Immortal clung to this spot like a leech, even when gaining a direct path to the Regression System's Core Skill.

After persisting with this tactic for a sufficient duration, even the Regression System was provoked. Mental Energy churned within its form like a tempest as it seized Immortal, beginning to devour him.

Suddenly, Immortal's palm radiated a soft luminescence as he pressed it against the Regression System's body. For a few moments, nothing occurred, but then, the void resounded with the Regression System's shrieks.

Enema!

The energy Hazen had developed was, after all, a product of a cultivation world. Upon its success, Compass Carburettor had released the necessary variable to generate Enema across all cultivation worlds when he healed them by sacrificing Grade 1 Systems. Consequently, as the cultivation worlds began producing Enema, Immortal gradually learned to harness this formidable power.

The Enema palm seared the Regression System. Simultaneously, within the System World, a vine interwoven with the Regression System's data trembled. A small offshoot extending from it ignited and dissipated.

Attacks utilizing Enema targeted the fundamental data itself. Therefore, if Immortal were to slay the Regression System, the vine containing all its data within the System World would wither and turn to ash. At that point, the Regression System would be truly annihilated.

Reacting to the Regression System's wail, the Reincarnation and Transmigration Systems became alarmed and focused on Immortal, resolving to destroy him at any cost.

"Don't act like I'm not here." Technocraft's voice boomed from behind the Reincarnation System, his twin turbines spewing a torrent of flames that scorched its back.

Magic circles materialized all over the Transmigration System's form, triggering a million explosions. Tiny flecks of Mental Energy erupted, ejecting from the Transmigration System's body.

Hiss!

Dita darted through the void, consuming these fragments. Its form flickered in and out of existence within the Systems, navigating the interdimensional space as effortlessly as a fish in water. Its movements were subtle, often going unnoticed. It traversed alternate dimensions, emerging only to devour fragments from the three Grade 4 time-based Systems before retreating into its hidden realm.

The constantly shifting alternate dimension provided a safe passage through the chaotic battle.

Abruptly, the alternate dimension fractured, and Dita found itself ensnared in Zaira's hand, grasped with suffocating force.

"No! My sanctuary!" it cried out as the Unlucky Tower of Ruin disintegrated. Three beams of light shot forth from it, entering Zaira's body. Moments later, Stencil, Gehera, and Rhizen were resurrected.

"Always so underhanded." Zaira was about to crush Dita when she paused, observing with astonishment, "Hahaha! From a mere rat, you've become a snake, Gilthru. How utterly pathetic."

Her primary hands constricted Compass Carburettor. Her right secondary hand held the Ring of Secrecy, while her left secondary hand gripped Dita. Despite the pressure she applied, the Ring of Secrecy proved remarkably resilient, which was why she hadn't shattered it yet. However, it was only a matter of time.

"Damn it! Don't kill me! Uncle, save me!" Dita wailed pitifully, turning to face Compass Carburettor. It was alarmed to see him gazing at her with a calm, cold expression, as if she were utterly insignificant. "No… why?"

"I merely created you in remembrance of Dita. The original resides in limbo within the junkyard." Compass Carburettor smiled, subtly erasing a line of Lore. "You were merely a tool that served its purpose. Now, recall your true nature."

A cunning glint appeared in Dita's eyes as the fabricated persona of Dita collapsed, reforming into Slayer. As his existence neared its end, Slayer perceived the changes within his body and shouted towards Zaira, "Watch out!"

"Huh?" Zaira was startled by the transformation within Dita, "Did you awaken, Gilthru?"

But she reacted a fraction too late. The serpent’s life force vanished completely. Its form dissolved into a mist that enveloped Zaira's left secondary hand, disintegrating it instantly.

Agony!

Zaira let out a piercing scream, akin to a mortal whose hand was plunged into searing acid. Before she could even react, the mist had corroded her secondary left hand and flowed into Compass Carburettor.

For a fleeting moment, Compass Carburettor unleashed a surge of overwhelming power, breaking free from the grasp and seizing the Ring of Secrecy from Zaira. With a voice laced with calm and genuine contentment, he uttered, "It's time."

A proud smile graced his lips as he declared, "It's time."

…

The Central Plains!

Hazen gasped, utterly spent, as his energy-blade toad dissipated, having just vanquished the final System Host. He then released all the ordinary Haggons from his Darble Dungeon, watching them scatter into the vast expanse of the forest. His eyes gleamed with starlight as he whispered, "It's time."

High above the Central Plains, slumbering within a coffin, Ahjar’s eyes snapped open, piercing beams of starlight erupting forth as he guffawed, "It's time."

With a mere snap of his fingers, he retracted all the defensive measures that had rendered the Central Plains undetectable within the multiverse. Subsequently, he brought his hands together, and all the members of the Secret Society within the Central Plains vanished alongside him. "You took your sweet time, Compass," he proclaimed.

…

"What nefarious scheme are you concocting now?" Zaira, her secondary arm fully regenerated, moved to reclaim the Ring of Secrecy. As she reached out and snatched the ring, a look of bewilderment crossed her face when it simply evaporated.

"It's time," Compass Carburettor closed his eyes. Suddenly, an immense multitude of trucks materialized in the void, swarming towards him like an unstoppable tide. They crashed into him with such force that Zaira herself was propelled aside by the sheer momentum.

"It's time to exact retribution upon the Systems that annihilated my home," Hazen's form materialized beside Compass Carburettor, his gaze fixed on Zaira. His body then dissolved, merging with Compass Carburettor.

"It's time for the thunder," Shen Ze’s laughter echoed as his form integrated into Compass Carburettor.

"It's time you relinquished your throne, Zaira," Slayer’s spectral projection manifested before fusing into Compass Carburettor.

"It's time to accept certain sacrifices," an ethereal figure, seemingly a confluence of Regression, Reincarnation, and Transmigration, appeared, astonishing the three Grade 4 Systems. This spectral amalgamation then merged into Compass Carburettor.

"It's time for the multiverse to give birth to its core," a phantom resembling the Fate System materialized and fused into Compass Carburettor.

"No! Stop this!" Zaira roared, unleashing a barrage of attacks. However, the overwhelming sea of trucks formed a protective barrier between her and Compass Carburettor, absorbing every assault. The Haggons within acted as resilient meat shields.

"This… this is perilous," Technocraft declared with palpable worry, observing the truck-filled expanse. After a moment of hesitation, he concentrated a dozen turbines, unleashing arcing plasma beams that descended upon Compass Carburettor.

By sheer instinct, whether System or Genre Representative, they acted in unison for the first time in the multiverse, focusing their attacks on a single entity.

"Compass must not succeed," Mascot shrieked in alarm.

"The balance may very well be overturned," Magister sighed. The torrent of trucks absorbed all their attacks, though they were rapidly being torn asunder. In mere fractions of a second, the onslaught vaporized every truck and reached Compass Carburettor.

But just as the attacks were on the verge of striking him, time itself halted for three seconds across the entire multiverse. Under the dumbfounded gazes of all the paramount entities, Compass Carburettor absorbed the blood mist generated by the disintegrated Haggon bodies.

While she remained frozen in shock, a figure materialized before her, a smile spreading across his face, sending shivers of dread down her spine.

"I promised I would make you rue everything, Zaira," Ahjar declared with a laugh before his form merged into Compass Carburettor. Like a seasoned orator addressing the cosmos, he proclaimed, "It's Time!"

"For The Main Character!"
