World Domination System

Chapter 1011 The Upgrade

[Listing all changes made in the system in order of importance and magnitude.

1. Unlocking of Cognition Module: This unlock is the act of evolution of the system to reach the best possible form in which it can cater to the needs of the host in the best possible way. Cognition Module has been created by assessing all the data collected since the activation of the system. It has the ability to quickly analyze a complex situation and provide suggestions, or even directly take the best possible action, as it is modeled after the host’s own mind, which has been repeatedly studied. All of host’s actions are cataloged extensively in the system, which form a framework that is used to output new suggestions. Cognition Module is also a combination of a majority of modules that required activation from host before such as Kingdom Management Module, Bloodline Creation Module, Genetic Enhancement Module, et cetera. As is evident, even the models which have been created at host’s requests have been assimilated, so that host can simply state his wish which will be accomplished in the most suitable way possible. As such, the limits of Cognition Module are also not concrete, as it is possible for the model to continue to evolve according to the experience that it obtains by carrying out host’s wishes. Hence, host is encouraged to use the module extensively in different kinds of situations while fulfilling parameters such as creativity to facilitate continued development of the module. Finally, many modules which were not previously unlocked by host are also automatically unlocked and assimilated, and hence, the library of unlocked modules is currently deactivated. It is possible that further developments, upgrades or hidden unlocks might reopen the library, but at the moment, host is required to give tasks to the Cognition Module to catalog everything that it is capable of. This is a natural evolution that was prewritten in the pathway of the system’s upgrade process, with the reasoning being that it is faster for the system to be utilized in case there is a module such as this available. If host had upgraded or unlocked the assimilated modules before, the EXP would have been available now. At this moment, EXP is only required for the next upgrade, whose requisite EXP is still unknown, as there are hidden conditions that need to be fulfilled before it can be revealed.

2. Increase in complexity of system: The complexity of tasks that can be accomplished by the system has increased drastically. It is not possible to put this rise perfectly in words, as it does not correspond exactly to the ranks of power which are present on host’s present continent of residence. However, an estimate can be made, which points to the system now being capable of carrying out tasks with complexity that are at least one sub-realm beyond the Peak Hero level examined in the continent. Host must also be notified that this does not mean that the barrier between the Hero realm and the realm that lies beyond has been crossed, as there are certain clues found in the library of the Order which point to the present Hero level not being the most powerful form that can be attained without breaking through.

Also, certain data is required to create spells at the peak level of complexity now available to the system, and host’s Mageroot also needs to be updated if the spells are to be cast.

3. All other significant modules such as Phenomenon Analysis Module, Spell Creation Module and Battle Module have been upgraded to be capable of many tasks which were previously too difficult for the system to carry out. For example, Battle Module can simulate large-scale battles involving multiple Hero level individuals with a high level of accuracy, in case all the given parameters are accurate. Battle Module can also recommend multiple modes of fighting for host so that host can use his power to the fullest whenever needed.

4. The creation of Cognition Module has also been accompanied by the activation of a hidden module which will now set the primary objective for host. Before, the primary objective was said to be just ’World Domination’, which is a vague concept that only offers a general direction for host to act if he wishes to upgrade the system further. Now, this submodule will enable host to be awarded for specific objectives that are reached which are set from all the data being studied by the Cognition Module about the situation around host.

5. System Overload Mode unlocked: For a certain period of time, system can be overloaded to allow host to access even further updated modules in exchange for deactivating the system to allow it to cool down for a significant period of time. It must be noted that this is only possible if the data required for the upgrade has been obtained. This is a mode meant to be used in life-threatening circumstances where EXP might not be available.

Several other changes were also made, but these have been ascertained by the Cognition Module to be the most significant. Host can now inquire the system further if any more information is required.]

The end of the system’s response was met by absolute silence from Daneel, whose eyes had gone as wide as possible while his jaw was close to dropping to the floor.

From everything he had done so far, he had been expecting quite a few things that he had just heard, but even still, the range of this upgrade was just so mindbogglingly game-changing that he was completely blown away.

It seemed as if every upgrade was such a major leap in power that it made each and every iota of effort that had gone into making it happen completely worth it, and for a moment, Daneel was actually terrified of whoever had made the system in the first place, as the kind of power that was required to create something that could continuously improve itself until it was almost indistinguishable from what it had been in the beginning was just impossible to even comprehend.

Or... What if this power had been present in the system since the beginning, and it was only being unlocked now for him to use?

Either way, his trump card was back in his pocket, now, and that gave him such a large measure of confidence and satisfaction that he felt like laughing out loud and startling the sovereigns who were still talking in front of him, unaware that their own sovereign had returned, and had just found out a lot of good news.
