My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Chapter 458 The Managers' Decision

?

Hwap~!

Haah~!

Jonathan let out a kick, aiming at Satoshi's neck. Initially, Satoshi tilted his head back so he could dodge the kick. But after noticing Jonathan's eyes, he realized that Jonathan was actually aiming at his shin.

In a split second, Albrecht jumped up, twisted in the air, and delivered a backhand punch right at Jonathan's face.

Disoriented, Jonathan took a couple of steps backward. He raised his hand up just in case Satoshi attacked him while his guard was down.

That was exactly what Satoshi did. However, instead of aiming at Jonathan's upper body, Satoshi leaned in and kicked him on his third leg.

The entire audience let out a gasp when the attack went through.

Oof~!

Letting out an oof, Jonathan fell to the ground as he clutched his third leg. Every man in the crowd instinctively clutched their balls as well since they could tell that the attack was really excruciating.

Satoshi also let out an 'ooh' before rushing towards Jonathan's aid. "I'm sorry, I was confident you'd be able to dodge it."

Before Satoshi could react, Jonathan also kicked his leg while he was sprawled on the ground. It caught Satoshi by surprise since his guard was down, and the kick hit him straight on the balls as well.

"Aghk~!" Satoshi exclaimed. It didn't hurt that much, but he decided to act as if it did hurt. After all, he didn't want Jonathan to be the only one embarrassed.

"I... forfeit." Jonathan suddenly said, much to everyone's surprise. "That attack got me good."

It still hurt a lot, but Jonathan managed to stand up and drag his feet on the ground as he walked away from the stage. Satoshi copied him.

The audience didn't know whether they should clap or not. In the end, there were a couple of awkward claps here and there.

Without further ado, Knighthawk stepped forward and announced the winner. "Satoshi wins!"

He couldn't help but gulp since the next match would be him against Satoshi.

At the back of his mind, he was hoping that some of his students would challenge each other before the match concluded. But no one dared to challenge anyone, probably because all the spotlight was pointed at Satoshi and he was deserving of it.

Quite frankly, they were just

...

Meanwhile, by the edge of the universe,

A black blob could be seen floating there with the other planets. Countless comets surrounded this black blob, and they continued to travel forward toward the center of the universe where their target was.

They weren't really

The calamity known as the World Eater (or an extension of it) scanned the entire universe for signs of life. They were sent there to scout the entire universe. To their surprise, the entire universe only had one planet with life in it.

It was totally weird, but the scan was successful. Now that a target was placed, it was time for the blob to scan the other universes which would also be attacked by the World Eater.

While there were still three months before the awakening of the calamity, small parts of its body were already roaming other dimensions, looking for universes that would easily fall prey to its sheer power. The universe where Earth was located is just one of the many universes which the World Eater would attack.

Once it awakens, it would lay waste to universes one after another, and this universe was its first target since there was only one planet with life on it.

With the inspection done, the blob seemed to turn around, followed by the floating rocks that surrounded it. A black portal appeared in front of it, and energy seemed to seep out of it as it opened.

Fwoooosh~

There was actually no sound coming out of the black portal, but one might assume it produced such a sound due to the steady influx of energy.

Slowly, the blob inched closer to the black portal, and then it entirely disappeared once a small portion of it touched the portal.

...

In another dimension,

Once again, the Managers gathered together, encircling the round table while they discussed the grim situation they were in. The World Eater was bound to awaken in three months' time, and their disciples couldn't even come close to its power. In short, they weren't ready, and the Managers were pretty much aware of this fact.

"What do we do? At this rate, Universe 1 is going to fall into the hands of the World Eater. It's going to get deleted just like Universe 31 and Universe 69." A manager with brown hair and a black robe spoke. She had the urge to bite her nails, but the meeting was important and it would distract the others. That's why she suppressed the urge.

"We have no choice, we have to gather them. We also have to call the Masters while we're at it." Another Manager spoke out loud. His name was Hyodo Issei, and he wielded red gauntlets.

"Or we can pit them together with the Veterans?" The man with a long white beard spoke. His name was Dumble Dore, which was oddly familiar considering that there was a certain famous character who had the same name in a popular movie series in the past.

"Let's do that. But before anything, we have to gather the Disciples."

"Then you do that, when do we call them?"

Murmurs could be heard while they discussed when they'd call the Disciples. In the end, they unanimously decided to call them as soon as possible.

In other words, the Disciples would be summoned as early as a couple of hours from the present. And since time was of the essence, no one argued with the decision.

"Are we done here?" Someone suddenly raised his hand and called out to the other Managers.

It was none other than Bucky Barnes. And before anyone could respond, he stood up and walked towards the exit. "Seems like we're done here. I'll take my leave first." He casually spoke.

As soon as he got out of there, he teleported straight to his abode. There was something he needed to do before he summoned his Disciples to this dimension.
