Bang!
The bullet fired by Anthozoa pierced through Regriel's forehead, killing him in the process. As for the Slaver Harem System, it struggled within his body, screaming as its body flickered.
'Isn't this the laws of Earth? I had been there once. Dammit! The one I brought all along was a System Slayer?' The Slave Harem System screamed in regret when it suddenly recalled something, 'Wait, the treasure! Thanks to Coincidental Luck that I had activated, it should have been the Warble that fell into Regriel's hands first. The lady should have been second. Does that mean…she had already implanted it into herself?'
Upon seeing the figure of a man standing before it now, it failed to understand for a moment, sighing, 'To think I would fall here of all places. But, he has yet to refine me. I can still use my power to take over his body and become a System Slayer!'
"Let's start." Compass Carburettor crouched before Regriel's corpse, gently closing his eyes before pointing Anthozoa at his forehead where the bullet hole lay. Slowly, something from within was sucked out like incense smoke, struggling to escape while it was pulled into the gun's nozzle.
It was the Slave Harem System's body that was being sucked into the gun now. The process was rather slow as the gun was sucking it in bit by bit. And while doing so, he watched Regriel's body turning transparent bit by bit, as if his body didn't have definite mass but was instead an energy construct.
Compass Carburettor sighed, recalling the scene of his operation as he shuddered. Thanks to obtaining a System Fragment of Slave Harem before, he understood the details about this ability.
And, he was aware that the Slave Harem System was able to easily identify the opposite sex based on the host it chose. So, if he simply disguised himself as a woman, it won't work. And for their plan to work, he had been using the members of Secret Society to constantly feed fabricated information to the Slave Harem System.
Since it wasn't aware of his presence, it eventually believed everything it felt through the Mental Energy streams. After all, only a System was capable of perceiving the details in the Mental Energy streams. This was their advantage, and a foolproof way for them to obtain information.
After all, even if one lied, their thoughts wouldn't be fabricated. Since the information would be perceived as a lie by their brain itself, the Mental Energy stream generated by them would also contain such information.
But, thanks to the prayers allowed in Secret Society, they were able to selective transmit information, retaining the rest through telepathy. As Compass Carburettor was already training accordingly with the Grogars from the moment they became part of Secret Society, he had enough experience.
Moreover, the Grogars had tracked the people in the Heroica Empire who were generating Mental Energy for the Slave Harem System to absorb, feeding them false information, this way, duping it with an abundance of fabricated information.
As for those from the Great Megwest Empire, they were elites among elites. Whatever was necessary was caught onto by them immediately, executed with great precision. Thanks to that, they were only feeding the Slave Harem System information that would be beneficial for them.
In that way, Compass Carburettor gradually machinated its actions. Even though he wasn't sure how it would proceed, he created plans for every single possibility. If it had been just him, he couldn't have achieved it.
After all, he was completely in the dark about a lot of things in this world, not to mention the Mohart Dungeon. But with Meharb, that was solved. After all, to be the sole individual that had managed to refine the Warble, completing the famed project, he was on a whole other dimension.
Teaming up with him, Compass Carburettor managed to refine his plans many times, eventually resorting to such a scheme where everything functioned as naturally as possible. And every single action worked in his favour.
And, it mattered not how much Mental Energy the Slave Harem System possessed. As it was a Level 5 System, he was aware that it won't have too much Mental Energy at its disposal. After all, if it had that much, it would have made Regriel more powerful.
So, they made an estimate. But, even if the estimate was wrong by a large margin, they would have been fine, since they could simply extend their plans. As long as there were enough Haggons to use, there won't be any problem.
And the final point of this, forming its core was him being a man. He won't be targeted by the Slave Harem System in the way he wished, so the only option was to change gender. It wasn't an easy process, but it was possible.
Many on Earth had managed to change their genders. Granted, it took time for their body to gradually adapt to the hormonal and organ changes.
Since he didn't have the freedom of time with him, he had to hurry with the procedure. There existed a similar procedure in the Great Megwest Empire, but the risks were even higher. Thankfully, he took on his Spirit form after expending 100 Darlac.
With this, even if he died, there were no consequences. Thanks to that, his body was grandly operated by the experts from the Great Megwest Empire and turned into a woman. Thanks to the quantity of drugs that were pumped into his body, it was hard for him to live beyond a day as the middle-aged woman.
And, the poison used to keep her limbs immobile also worked as an anaesthetic to numb her pain receptors. Otherwise, she would instantly die from the pain. Finally, when Regriel used his skill on her, Hekatra shot her in the forehead using Anthozoa that was bestowed upon her a couple of seconds ago.
Once she died, Compass Carburettor returned to his real body—his Haggon form. After that, he consumed 100 Darlac and returned to his human—Spirit form, taking on his original appearance as a man. Gazing at the figure of Hekatra that stood at the cave's entrance, he nodded, saying, "Thankfully, me acting as his baggage caused him to waste Mental Energy faster."
Soon, Regriel's body completely vanished as everything was sucked into his gun. Compass Carburettor grunted, feeling intense headache as he said to Hekatra before fainting, "Tell everyone to pray!"
