Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 285 Preparations In Netherrealm: Using The Rejection Fragment

"You are even crazier than I am!"

I smiled at him, and he looked at me as if I were a freak. He then turned around, observing the recipe I gave him once again.

"But… to think that something like this even exists… You really are something, young Light bearer," Sloth spoke as he took that recipe with him inside the lab.

"I will be waiting for its completion. I want it in batches of 10 total 100 batches by the end of 2 months," I spoke before continuing outside while he stopped and peeked at my departing figure.

I could hear him sigh a bit before moving deeper into the den.

Based on his personality, he couldn't wait to try to test this recipe, which actually is a good thing for me. As for him using all of it for himself, I don't think that is a problem either.

More like it would be better if he uses it on himself. This would make things even easier for me.

"Well… now that things are done here, let's meet the last Queen. She shouldn't be that far from here," I muttered before starting to run again. My interaction with Sloth wasn't as much as with the others because… let's say he was more business oriented than emotion driven.

There was little in his previous life as a Dhamphir where he worked as a lab assistant for a girl named… Hmmm Ascarate Rosalyn… yeah. Now that I think about it, I have met Ascarate as well…

'Drake Town, was it?' I recalled the time I met her in the previous timeline.

[Author's note: Ascarate Rosalyn is mentioned in the chapter#162. She had been introduced in chapter#159-162.]

Funny how fate works.

I then pondered if I should tell him about this piece of information.

'Next time maybe,' I decided before continuing to run towards Envy's place.

Running through the forest, I finally reached deep into the dark forest of Netherrealm. It was one of the most beautiful and the most dangerous places in Netherrealm. Here, the SSSS-Grade monsters roamed freely without any restraint. They have their own ego and hunt in groups over the other monsters.

'One of the battle zones for those who want to reach a higher height and get back to the real world after reincarnating as a monster,' I thought as I walked through the forest, Forest of Death, wondering where Envy could be.

Unlike the 6 kings, she was a weaker monster of base S6 Rank. Her motive was to gain a rank of S8 and then reincarnate into the real world as at least an A-Grade monster. That way, her chance of keeping her memory intact should increase by a large threshold.

Envy had a simple story. She wanted to meet her family once again. Though the only one alive in her family right now is her daughter and she too turned really old as the time passed.

"Saint Merissa is around 103 years old right now, I guess. Though with the blessing of the Golden Grail, I guess she should have another 30-40 years in her hands," I muttered as I saw a bunch of minotaurs in front of me.

"Hmmm… who is he? Never saw him here before," spoke one of those minotaurs while the other one just kept observing me with a slightly cautious look.

'Hmmm I should recharge my weapon too,' I thought as I dashed towards them faster and looking at me they tightened their grip on their weapons. I observed them with a calm expression before one of them charged at me at a rapid speed.

"Rejection fragment: I reject his ability to stop charging," I muttered to check the effect and limitations of my fragment and soon I found a percent of my energy depleted while he kept on charging at the speed he was going on.

Soon enough he reached closer to me, without being able to stop himself, giving me an open chance to kill him.

-Slash! I killed him in an instant, absorbing his energy without much difficulty. I then stopped as I saw the other minotaurs wondering what had just happened.

"Hmmm.. this is quite a lot for such a simple task… I wonder if there is any way to increase the efficiency without much movement," I pondered as I saw a few more monsters coming towards me with others reaching this side as they might have heard the commotion.

"Rejection Fragment: I reject the existence of air around this area," I spoke as I found an equal amount of energy depleted from me. My body was fine because I had the breath fragment, but the other monsters weren't faring so well. Half of them were on their knees, while some of them charged at me.

'So it is easier to control an inanimate object rather than an animate object?' I wondered before taking a few steps back and dashing towards the closer monsters as I killed them one at a time.

-Slash! -Slash! -Slash! Once I was done with that, I stopped using the rejection fragment, making the air return to how it was before. Then looked around to see if there were more monsters coming.

I sensed some S5 monsters coming at a distance from here and activated Blood Sacrifice: First moon

"Rejection Fragment: I reject the ability of people to reach this place," I spoke as I fell on my knees, breathing heavily. I just lost 70% of my energy with that one. Though, I quickly filled it back up using the energy I had in the Deaths of Duality.

The effect was exactly how I wanted it to be. The S5 Ranks were unable to enter the surrounding area. They tried moving towards me but their body themselves turned around and started walking backwards without them being able to control it.

It confused them and it made me smile as I stopped the effect before running towards them and killing those monsters as well.

While there were limitations to using the Reject Fragment, if I could use it properly, it can easily become one of the most powerful assets I have. Though I wonder if there is a way to increase its power and make it so that I don't have to risk my life and energy every time I use it….

'Maybe I should talk to someone who knows about it,' I pondered about it as a certain name came into my mind.

Janus, the former Guardian of Space.
