Chapter 258 258:Error
After the beastly humans had torn each other apart, Leon appeared behind Seph and swiftly dispatched him by cutting his head.
A few moments later, a notification chimed in his mind.
[You gained 50,000 Kp.]
[You gained 40,000 counterattack points.]
"That's quite substantial and unexpected," Leon remarked, his surprise evident.
"It seems Seph held the entire plot of this planet in his head."
[Calculating rewards....Calculating rewards...]
[ERROR! ERROR!]
The sudden blaring of sirens and flashing of red lights startled Leon.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"System... System..."
Leon called out loudly, receiving no response as the system malfunctioned.
[ERROR! BLOCKING ACCESS!]
[NEGATING EXTRACTION]
[TERMINATING AND EXPELLING THE WITHDRAWN POWER!]
After several alarming changes, the system's frenzied activity finally subsided, allowing Leon to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Did you get hacked?"
[Affirmative, Host.]
[While extracting the Seph system and its power, the system's consciousness attempted to take control and overtake the base. However, it failed due to underestimating the hollow nature of the host's system, which only served to utilize the host's power.]
"Wait a minute!" Leon interjected, grasping the crucial point.
"What if my power originated from you?"
[In that case, it would have seized control of the power, consumed the AI, and integrated the Dao and world rules, becoming a new, modified, and improved version of the existing destiny system.]
"How is that possible? Didn't Vesturon negate such possibilities?"
[The only plausible explanation is that the system given to Seph possessed higher power than Deity Vesturon, allowing it to bypass the safety protocol.]
"Fuck you, Vesturon!You bastard scammer," Leon cursed aloud.
Vesturon had proclaimed himself as the strongest being in the world, if not he considered himself equal to the other two, yet he had been ridiculed by that Demon God and now his power had failed.
"That means there's a risk of you being devoured."
[Negative. There is nothing to take over. If it comes to that, the system would forcibly shut down, allowing you to use the power as you see fit. The system merely simplifies the ways you utilize your power.]
'Just from where Seph system originated from?'
"What about the rewards?"
[Due to the forceful termination, nothing substantially extracted is to be given except for this card.]
Leon's expression darkened, as if he had stepped in something deep shit but his expression changed when he saw the card.
[Martial Ancestor Realm Card X2: Allows you to step into Martial Ancestor Realm for an hour.]
"Didn't you say that you extracted nothing?"
[The system extracted other systems and used the power of the system to take out the products but this was from storage of Seph inventory. He brought three, out of which he used one to deal with you the other two he couldn't use because you have crippled him, and if he used this he would explode immediately. ] New novel chapters are published on
"Hmm!Something interesting."
Then Leon waved his hand to horde the shadow.
"Che! It feels disgusting but who knows if this fucker reincarnates into a new world if I don't hold his soul."
.....
Leon took a step forward. The walls before him dissolved, and with another step, he stood before a person with a soulless gaze.
Noticing the figure, she stared at him with eyes full of hurt and gritted her teeth as if she wanted to bite him.
The ghost hearing this wanted to scream that it's because you are a lunatic and being made out of you, we get infected.
Alas, they can only hold back.
Finishing his order, he went to the last place which was just beside Seph and one could look at Seph's cell openly.
Contrary to the others, the place was quite neat and well-
furnished with a lot of food on the table.
Leon walked to the corner, while a woman sat on the floor with dead, lifeless eyes.
"I did what you asked me to. I hope you enjoyed the show."
Her eyes flickered seeing Leon's figure.
Instead of answering, she extended her hand upwards and hit her head on the floor with a thud.
"Thank you for accepting my request."
Leon's heart panged a little seeing her condition, and he extended his hand to hold her, but before he could touch her, she raised her head, and he froze, staring at her deadpan eyes.
She was one of the remaining survivors of Seph's lab and a crestfallen heroine.
After Leon's raid, those who survived weren't in a condition to live, but Leon summoning the researcher's ghost helped a few to get back to normal physically.
Yeah, only physically, as mentally, all of them were dead except her, who clung to him.
And asked for one thing.
She wanted to witness Seph's demise with her own eyes. She wanted him to cry, beg, and die a death that would rip his soul.
Stephanie managed to resist Seph's allure and his advances.
A woman who, despite all odds, chose to be with Roland instead of betraying until death.
A woman who deserved to be a Queen.
A woman worth enough for you to go against the world.
Alas...
Her heart was dead, and she had promised to die after Seph's death.
Leon and Sophia had tried their best, but except for Seph's death and her will to die, there was nothing inside her.
She was nothing but a beautiful vase containing the debris of a broken heart that had been crushed into the dust of millions.
She extended her hand as if begging him.
Leon gritted his teeth and handed her a vial that contained a poison that could kill her silently without any pain.
"Do you still want to die?"
"Yes!"
She replied without the slightest hesitation.
"I.."
She raised her head, making Leon shut up.
Her eyes flashed with a resolute will, an unyielding and unbroken pride as she opened the vial and raised it near her lips.
"You are a good man, Leon, someone whom I would love to be with."
Leon's heart stirred, and he raised his hand to stop her.
"But this life of mine has already been named after him, so even if it's hard, please let me go. It is my decision. I want to meet him once, even if it's in the afterlife."
Leon clenched his hands and pulled back.
"Damn!"
Gritting his teeth in anger, Leon turned back and walked away without looking back.
Cause, he feared that if he looked back he wouldn't be able to step forward out of this place.
Staring at the broad shoulders disappearing in the darkness, Stephanie took the vial with drops trickling down her lips.
"If there is a thing called next life, I wish I could meet someone like you who would be strong enough to face the adversary."
