Infinite Evolution System Made Me Too OP!

Chapter 254: A Puzzle World...?

...…

"Not even a second... Not even a second had passed after nearly 10 minutes of staying inside the Spiritual Island…"

Azmodeus's mumbles could be heard inside the void of space, as he could hardly believe it himself. But the facts were presented right in front of him.

It was enough to make him understand that his sour mood when figuring out about the severe reduction on time runes in the Starry Expanse was for naught...

But regardless of his past troubles, he looked at a broader picture. From this picture, he realized that this was his key to more strength! This was how he would quickly surpass the Galactic Lord!

"You wish to bother me and prevent my rise to Infinity… That is a punishment deserving of death. Luckily for you, there won't be any need for you to wait long." A cold gleam flashed past Azmodeus's blood-red eyes as he called for his system interface.

BLING!

{[Spiritual Island]} ?

[Area width: 1000 Meters]

[Upgrade Requirements: The Core of a 1 and Half Layered Plane of Infinity]

[Rank of Residents: Low Mortal Lifeforms ? Single-celled organisms, Primitive Insects, Bugs, and Small Birds]

[Time Dilation ? 1:1000]

[Qi Density ? Equivalent to outside world] ? [Continue upgrading in order to encroach upon the Qi Density of a higher plane of existence.]

Azmodeus only looked at the Spiritual Island part of his system interface, but that was enough for him to get a general understanding of the specifics.

He only wanted to know the exact numbers of the Time Dilation and Qi Density sections, and though it didn't have anything precise for the latter, it was still enough to have the former.

From this information, Azmodeus further realized that his ambitions of rapidly surpassing the Galactic Lord might actually come to pass.

It was this fermented realization that moved his hands toward what he needed in order to upgrade the Spiritual Island once again. This time, it was a One and a Half Layered Core of Infinity, which he just so happened to have picked up a few thousand years ago.

Upon witnessing a similar process to the one that occurred with the Single Layered Core of Infinity, Azmodeus visibly watched the Core increase in size.

Though it was extremely hard to tell, he was someone who adapted quite well to any hurdles. Hence, there was no way in hell that the last thing that would be capable of stopping his advancement would be a restriction in space visibility!

But regardless of the belief that he would always overcome, Azmodeus waited for the iridescent light to stop shining. Only then did he transport himself inside it and experience the changes without the system spoiling everything for him.

This turned out to be the correct decision for the thrill of advancement, as he sent out his divine sense and realized that the island had increased to 100,000 meters in size!

Such a magnitude was far greater than it previously was. And furthermore, it wasn't the only thing that had improved, as the level of living organisms also took a steep rise.

It seems like there are now lizards and fish of sorts…

Azmodeus watched as small, 3-inch, multi-colored lizards darted past his feet. When he looked up into the sky, he saw a crane-like bird swoop down and pick up a 6-inch-long bass.

"This little world of mine is really starting to evolve… truly worthy of being a system feature of the Infinite Evolution System…" He made an appreciative comment while continuing to blend in with the environment, observing the surreal scenery around him.

He watched the birds tweet their morning songs and the fish splash around in the water. Even the blowing of the wind on the fall trees was enough to create a soothing ambience—one that was able to have one get lost forever.

For some reason, the atmosphere here made Azmodeus want to attempt a breakthrough, but he was still far from that point in time, so he left it to the back of his mind.

After sitting in the softly blowing verdant grass of a tree's shadow for an indefinite period of time, he ultimately got up from his spot and walked in a random direction. Or at least, it would look that way from an onlooker's perspective. However, the place he was heading just so happened to be where the sparse sand particles used to be.

But in vast contrast to before, the dozen or so sand pieces transformed into an entire beach!

The beach stretched outward for thousands of meters, and in the sand, there were large red crabs, sea slugs, and even washed-up eels. The environment was quite similar to a beach on planet Earth, as there were even slight traces of water along the shoreline-

Wait…

Water??

Azmodeus sped up his walk along the beach as his feet somehow glided above the loose sand, all without kicking up a single speck.

When he finally made it to the miniscule amounts of crystal-clear blue liquid, he started to see a pattern.

"Is this Spiritual Island like a puzzle, where I have to upgrade it in order to unlock more Biomes?"

The puzzle gave him a little sneak peek at the next area, and when he upgraded, a wider world would be opened up to him.

It was sort of like how the World of Cultivation operated, but in a format more befitting of a board game. Though that suited Azmodeus's tastes quite well, for he wanted to see just what lay at the end of a rainbow.

If this place wants to have me go on a wild goose hunt for Infinity Cores, then so be it.

He was not one to deny benefits, and with the increased time dilation and Qi Density of this place, there was no way he was missing out on anything beneficial!

With this in mind, he opened up his system interface and took a good look at the Spiritual Island section.

BLING!
