Chapter 464 The Plan of Chaos
The dragon curled inside the burning solar corona and faced the swirling, floating darkness around the gem resting on the metal island.
"Dragon let's synchronize our clock!"
"Huh?"
"Crystal has given you an ultimatum when they will start their little scheme."
"So what about it?"
"I will double down. I have something going on, so let's start it simultaneously!"
Vesuvius frowned, not even remotely liking how it sounded. The upcoming mess was already large, and now this self-proclaimed god of knowledge suggested making it even worse.
"What do you want to do?"
"Do you expect me to just say it? In that case, I will say, there is no need to hide it."
"Do you really believe that just this single video game system would drain so much of my power? I might be the youngest, but I am still a celestial being."
The dragon frowned even deeper, the idea of something so great that it sucked dry a being of such a level almost making him want to devour it for causing so much trouble.
"What have you done?"
"More systems? I created a lot of them and distributed them across the universes and all of them have one hidden feature. On my signal all their hosts will open bridges across the worlds, all leading to this one! I will start my greatest work, the great system war, no the great dimensional war!" The being chaotically swirled like a tornado of darkness, its aura constantly flickering in turbulent emotions.
The dragon was so shocked at what he heard he could only silently contemplate its significance.
In the meantime, the administrator continued, "So many systems! Interdimensional Restaurant System, Gigachad System, Gun System, Ultimate Magi System. There is even the Interdimensional Ultimate Pervert Harem King System! There are so many of them, all in the hands of dumb edgy teenagers with power trip. Can you imagine the upcoming chaos and destruction? Can you?"
He could, and he shuddered at the thoughts. He read more than enough novels in his past life to know what he should expect. For a moment, even the thought of killing the administrator sneaked into his mind.
He could end it right here and now. He felt how weak they were.
'No, I doubt their siblings would appreciate it. Also, can I even kill them or would they somehow survive? They are also a family...'
Even with all his respect, he still couldn't help but question the being's dubious motives.
"Why would you do that?!"
"I told you, to cause chaos and havoc!"
"Why?! For fun? Out of boredom?!"
Only the silence followed after his words, the swirling darkness slowing its rotation and movement as if pondering.
Only after a few seconds, the distorted voice came out, "No, to save us all. I can't say more, someone could be listening, and if it got out, then we would be screwed up."
'Listening here? It is either some stupid excuse, or is it so bad.' There were simply too many unknowns for him to conclude, especially when it came to the motives of the top dogs, and with his current strength, he knew it was better to stick his snout where he shouldn't.
'If that knowledge is truly so dangerous then I will likely be better without knowing it. Still, how could breaking everything save us?'
"Doesn't matter, by that time you should grab the evolution I have offered you. I can give you the exact rituals and knowledge for you to also usurp the authorities of space and time for yourself."
"What for it?" The dragon knew more than well that nothing was truly free. The question was only if one knew the price beforehand.
"Body, find me a vessel to house me."
The dragon immediately nodded, the price being more than acceptable for what he was going to get in return. The single body was nothing; at least, he hoped so.
"Any specific?"
Once again, the god remained silent, swirling around like a sea in a storm.
"I want a vampire—a young one."
"I will obtain it."
'This might be a bit problematic, but still doable.'

"Why isn't what you promised in the rewards? Are you trying to scam me?"
"The reward must be equal to the difficulty or paid by someone. I don't have the energy to waste and go through the system. Instead, I will give it to you personally."
'In that case, I will just make sure to get my payment first. Family or not, they are sketchy.'
Suddenly one of his connections with his minions pulsed, and the stream of information containing a message entered into his head, "Master, we have located the last rat, but there are some complications."
"Tell me more."
"They are not on this continent and are out of our reach."
The dragon's continent was his fortress, and his power was absolute. However, even his forces didn't reach beyond it, the rest being the enemy territory.
'It looks like I will once again have to depend on the players. This job should be easy for them. There is almost no risk for them.'
"Minion, assembly all the strongest and the most trustworthy of my minion immortals. It is time to empower them and send them on the mission." he sent the last message to his minion before turning back to the swirling chaos of darkness.
'If the words are true. Then the situation will be much worse. I should think of alternative plans to preserve my minions.'
POV ?:
A single player knelt on a hard stone floor, his silver amor crackling with lightning, the long cape weaved of electricity sparking as it flowed down his back and touched the floor.
The spear of lightning radiating the divine power rested in his palm, its power circulating through his veins. Yet, even with all that power, he didn't dare to look up at the statue of the god.
"My chosen one. I have trained you and borrowed you my power." The thundering voice, each word sounding like distant thunders, resounded all around him as if he was in the center of a storm.
"Yes, your divinity."
"Remember, our fate depends on this war. If we lose, there will be no second chance."
"I will not fail you, your divinity."
He now knew the truth behind the four balance races from his master, making him clench his fist in suppressed anger, 'The worlds must know of the evils of the Genesis. They must face their punishment.'
His finger moved toward the floating forum icon in the corner of his vision.
Ding!
