Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 842 Revelation!

Chapter 842 Revelation!

When he saw the message from the system in front of him, Lothur felt his heart beat faster, and his whole body go numb, as if he had suddenly lost control of it.

'What is this? What are you doing, system?' He asked himself as he tried to access his powers.

[Give it up, host. I have control of all your abilities. I blocked them the moment I was called.]

He wanted to swallow his saliva but couldn't even do that with the enemy's movement.

'System... You... Are you a demonic creation?' He asked in awe, seeing that this parasite had probably used him all the way to this day.

He had never stood a chance against the Demon Emperor!

The system said, acting less like a system and more like a living being with its own intelligence. 

[Part of me was created by the Demon Emperor's greatest enemy to help someone compatible grow up and become the next to stop the strongest demons.

Part of the system was to prevent the hypothetical scenario in which the Demon Emperor succeeded in his plans.

However, not even the system's creator could foresee my appearance!]

It said as part of what looked like a worm emerged from Lothur's body through one of his many pores, glowing in rainbow colors.

[When the system was created, I, the essence of the Soul Crystal, was implanted by the Demon Emperor into the project of his greatest enemy!]

It said, trying to dash Lothur's hopes and quickly remove the singularities from the young man's body.

Even though it controlled Lothur's powers, removing the singularities would not be easy. The more depressed the young Ritter was, the easier and faster it would be for the creature.

Reading all that in front of him, Lothur naturally felt terrible. How could he not feel that way after discovering everything he knew was wrong? He had been completely deceived!

'Why did you force me to go after the singularities?'

[If you had found and absorbed all the singularities, you would have been possessed by the Demon Emperor. But even if you didn't, you could still help my commanders accomplish their mission.]

A long time ago, the Demon Emperor had fallen to the coalition of the strongest Sages of that time. However, he was someone who had reached the peak of this world's cultivation and had reached the legendary level of 26!

At that level, he was different from everyone else. Even though he eventually lost, he didn't disappear completely.

Once the seven singularities were reassembled, as long as something or someone had at least a memory of him and participated in the creation of a new being with the seven powers, he would return to this world!

Even if his body was destroyed and his essence trapped in the Lost Tree, he could return to this world after the Seven Singularities were united.

[But it's a shame it all had to end like this, host. You were the one who came closest to the Demon Emperor level. If you hadn't rebelled, you might have become the next Demon Emperor. Sadly, our journey ends here.]

'Damn it!' Lothur cursed the creature, which was escaping his body, but he was unable to do anything as he was watched by the surrounding demons, some surprised but most calm as they saw what they had expected.

That had been a long and difficult project, with generations of creatures coming and going. But they were finally at the end, recovering the last pieces of the singularities, but also the Soul Crystal parasite, which had been missing for as long as the Demon Emperor himself.

'We will finally have everything under control again.' The level 25 woman thought to herself, excited at the return of her leader, who would soon be able to rejoin the two Immortal Crystals of the Demons.

Having learned so much in the last few thousand years, her people would be much more careful in this second attempt to take over Concordia!

Lothur agonized in front of these creatures, trying his best to prevent the worst from happening while feeling like someone was trying to take away his essence.

The Seven Singularities were not Lothur's special powers, as in the case of his Physique power. The seven special powers born from the Lost Tree were special forms of energy capable of evolving creatures and parts of themselves.

The first essence Lothur had absorbed at the beginning of his journey in this world had awakened a characteristic of his own, something that he might one day have awakened with or without that singularity.

But because of the special energy of that leaf, he had managed to awaken an extraordinary physical power. At the same time, the quality of that power had evolved by several levels.

Something similar happened when he absorbed the second singularity he came in contact with. The special energy of that second singularity helped him complete his incomplete soul, basically nourishing the part that was there to give it a complete form and allowing him to cultivate his soul.

But none of these powers would be seen in other beings because they were unique to Lothur and had only been awakened and matured by the two leaves he had come in contact with.

[Farewell host, good luck in your next life.]

Lothur saw the worm finally leave his body, while two small sparkles that looked like stars were inside its body. 

Seeing it fly into the Soul Crystal in the hand of the strongest demon there, Lothur could do nothing more. As he watched his surroundings grow darker and darker, the cold quickly reaching his body, he felt his heart stop and thought about what it all meant.

'Death?' He feared as his body fell backward, plummeting uncontrollably toward the abyss.

A few demons watched Lothur's fall intently, but as they felt his heart stop beating, and his spiritual fluctuation disappear, they would all soon leave the strongest hybrid in history behind.

'Is this the end?' He asked himself before losing consciousness, feeling an existential void within himself so great it was as if he had lost the most important thing about himself.

One of the demons saw Lothur's death and opened his mouth to speak. "What shall we do with him? What about his Soul Bones?"

The strongest demon of the group, who now had two new singularities, didn't want to hear about it and left, eager to start the ritual to bring the Demon Emperor back to the world.

Someone then said. "Destroy his body. These Soul Bones have been pushed to the limit by that bastard. It'll probably take longer for them to separate from his body. 

After all, the way he died was unusual."

"Okay." 

As the strongest disappeared from the area, the weakest sighed in relief that it was all over, and two of them went to Lothur's side.

As one of them bent down to grab Lothur's ankles, the Space Watch beeped.

Fearing what it meant, the demons present took steps back, afraid of one last attack from their enemy.

Lothur was so slippery that even dead, he could still frighten these creatures!

"Damn it!"

"A bomb?"

Some of them wondered.

But before anyone could figure out what it was, the Space Watch distorted the surroundings, making Lothur's body disappear from the area in an instant!
