Chapter 546

"However, what I need more is someone with great combat capability. Darius, you're good, but your fighting skill is average at best. It's fine to sit in Safemoon to plan and take control behinds the shadows, but I will need you to enter the frontlines henceforth for most things." Vena concluded.

"Don't worry, once you see the features of the new system you will have, you will not have any problems. It will be more than enough of a tool to give you the means to acquire true power."

Hearing her promise, Darius could only remain silent and wait for whatever came next.

He watched as Vena became much more lively. She took out not only her holographic screen and began typing, but she did so with her feet. Her hands were doing something else, building... something... that resembled a high-tech cube.

While she worked on these two, much to Darius' speechless shock, she also took the time to talk to him.

"Oh right, you were sent here because you obtained some Origin Essence? That's some good stuff, but not really for you. Origin Essence is basically the waste and impure energy produced from that big lizard."

"Big lizard? Could you be referring to Yuli'ann Castoro, the Dragon Ancestor?" Darius muttered with shock.

"Right, is that was he goes by now? Whatever. He is a Dragon that is from the third universe, one of my brother's cousins when he was a mortal. His power is leagues above anything you can fathom." Vena replied easily even as she worked rapidly.

"Origin Essence is his... waste?" Darius asked uncertainly.

"Yup, it's basically the same to him as excrement is to you. In universe three, Dragons regularly produce some form of crystallized energy. That law is not compatible nor present in ours, so we had to find a workaround."

"At his level of power, he produces something called Origin Energy crystals every day. I just made him channel that energy into Faust while he was asleep, and the core purified it slightly and gathered it into clusters that formed Origin Essence as you know it."

"I was shocked when the first NPC of Faust appeared here because they had broken the limit of power I had set for the place. I had to come up with some explanation about how they were 'True Lords' chosen by me and blah blah. Haha, they ate it up too."

"Anyway, Origin Essence is irregularly produced and found by random beings, allowing them to attain a higher level of power that supersedes most of Faust's limit, so I was forced to create something higher."

"In came the Supreme. After setting that new power limit, things seemed to stabilize, but now I had the problem of finding someone who could actually reach that level."

"Well, I got you, and you seem to be doing well," Vena concluded with a casual smile.

"Oh right, you have managed to acquire his bloodline too. Listen, while it may sound great, that fellow might just carry you and force you to inherit his legacy. My advice is to avoid the Dragon race and even suppress the bloodline you gained using other powerful ones." Vena spoke solemnly.

Darius listened and kept this in his heart. It seemed like he needed to be more careful with what he put into his body, but he was going to have to put even more questionable things due to Vena's advice.

"There we go!" She exclaimed loudly as she stopped typing and building, hovering the cube over her screen. Darius saw hundreds of lines of code be rapidly absorbed by the AI like a sponge in water.

The cube then lit up with extremely eye-catching golden colors, looking nothing like the shabby wreck he had called the 'Supreme System'. Vena also crumpled that system down and carried its core data off, infusing it into the cube.

After making sure everything was set, she tossed the cube over to Darius, who tried to catch it. However, it simply dodged his fingers and entered his brain.

Darius did not feel its physical presence, but he certainly did feel its mental presence. Before he could analyze what was happening, he saw Vena tear open a hole in her astral world.

Outside, one could see strange djinn-like creatures looking like they wanted to come in and bite their heads, but would Vena let them do as they please?

The answer was obviously...no.

She waved her hands and eliminated them before focusing on a roaring river that was running throughout the fabric of spacetime. Vena cast her eye over it casually and then smiled.

"There we go, the souls of your three children are in the river of souls. I will now plant them in Faust so that you can spawn them when you are ready." Vena informed.

"As for the natural laws of Faust, don't worry about it, I'll roll out the patches soon enough. Also, the Origin Essence will be kept by you, but there is no need to assimilate it, so I have turned it into a different kind of power for you. Make good use of it."

Vena waved her hands towards Darius, some strange wind beginning to blow him away from this realm, right back down to the Tower of Spirits.

He had a new system, his shackles were removed and his children could organically join him in his adventure of this new world. If it wasn't for the fact that Darius hadn't solved Deia's matter yet, things might even be called perfect

Still, it had gone up on his priority list.

Darius opened his eyes as he sat cross-legged on the altar. The golden light that was fiercely exuding from his body receded, and seemed to be fully absorbed by him.

First things first, Darius looked around to gauge Faust in its current state and see any changes, especially with his Banded Servants. When he gazed at the stoic Gunner and Xela, he saw no changes in their demeanors.

Still, he put that aside and opened what should be his new system menu, for the first time eager to see what it had in store for him.
