Chapter 774: Are You the Main Character's Ally or Not?
The moment Domino Plottopia merged with him, Compass Carburettor gained the ability to teleport to Stencil's location. After all, there existed the connection in terms of Anthozoa—that he gave to Stencil.
And right at this time, thanks to this connection, through the power of Secret Society, Compass Carburettor heard his daughter's pleas that were transmitted through Anthozoa. Immediately after, rage filled his entire being, erupting out as he felt her desperate cry.
Immediately after, he arrived at the scene, staring at the figures of Stencil, Gehera and Aronaut chained down to a spot while a blazing sun rushed towards them, the heat already beginning to burn their bodies.
Instantly, he absorbed the entire sun through Anthozoa. After all, it was able to absorb sunlight—an evolved function from when it was created, where it only used the photovoltaic property to generate electricity.
When Gahrat fused into him, Compass Carburettor's power of Spirit Morph was strengthened enormously, allowing him to simply convert the blazing sun and the chains binding the trio before him into Mental Fragments that further transformed into Mental Energy to flow into his body in an instant.
Moreover, he shot a bullet into the bodies of each, instantly curing them.
Bullet Template—Tehela!
Using the power of the Titan's Immortality, he instantly cured them, for the level of injury they sustained was within its recovery capacity.
But, even after Stencil was fully cured, just the fact that she had to suffer burning pain sparked hatred in his mind, causing his anger to explode.
And in their current state, both Domino Plottopia and Gahrat were influenced by his emotions, expressing anger too.
Originally, he planned to absorb them into his body like how he originally was at the time of obtaining the Core Skill of Lore. But in that state, there would be a conflict of thoughts due to their varying nature.
Hence, Compass Carburettor instead simply performed an additive fusion where their heads and hands formed separately, attaching to his own. This was why he sprouted three heads and six arms now.
Domino Plottopia was on the left while Gahrat was on the right. Moreover, Aronaut's figure vanished, taking shelter within the Relic.
Following that, the Relic fused into their body, transforming into armour protecting them from head to toe. The current Main Character possessed the powers of four Main Characters—Compass Carburettor, Domino Plottopia, Gahrat, and the Relic.
Compass Carburettor stared at Conjurer, observing the other party's budding fear, the reason stemming from the fact that one of his worlds had entirely fallen under the control of the Main Character.
After all, forming the core of its power system was a belief in the Main Character, allowing tiny fragments of the Main Character System to grow in their minds. And once they die, the essence of the world would absorb those fragments, causing a fundamental change in its makeup.
And indeed, when the Invokers were able to gain power faster as they no longer needed to worry about constructing their Invoked Spirits or Dreamland, their desires intensified, which led to more conflicts.
Ultimately, it resulted in a lot of deaths among Invokers, causing the world to absorb their remains upon their death. It led to the Main Character System being absorbed into the essence of the world, causing the power system to evolve and become deeply tied to the Main Character.
This was why Conjurer was feeling fear, for one of his worlds had already slipped his control, beginning to influence him already. His strength was beginning to drop in response.
And being glared at by the Main Character, one of the worlds under Conjurer expressed the same towards him, which was what resulted in the fear he was feeling now.
Compass Carburettor glared at Conjurer as starlight gushed out of his eyes, unleashing his new ability.
Spirit Morph!
"Gah!" Conjurer shouted in alarm when one of his eyes destabilised and began to slowly transform into Mental Fragments, causing him to mutter in startlement, "Mental Fragments? Why aren't they under my control?"
"Surprised you can say that," Compass Carburettor said in mockery, "For that world is already influenced by me."
"You were there?" Shock layered his expression as Conjurer stared at the Main Character, "How? I searched that world twice but never found you there."
In response, Compass Carburettor just shrugged, unwilling to lay out his cards.
Moreover, Conjurer's eyes continued to destabilise and transform into Mental Fragments faster and faster before flowing towards Compass Carburettor in a stream.
Boom!
Conjurer's figure flashed away as he shed away the infected parts before conjuring another eye, staring in alarm as Compass Carburettor absorbed all the ejected parts of his body.
'How is he able to do this? Such a power doesn't exist in any of my worlds, not to mention the world he had infiltrated.' Conjurer failed to make sense of Compass Carburettor's growth, already losing the drive to fight anymore.
"Enough of your arrogance, Compass." Zaira's voice resounded in anger as she activated a Grade 2 System's Core Skill, unleashing millions of bats that targeted Stencil and Gehera. She remembered Conjurer's words that Compass Carburettor valued Stencil's life more than his own. Hence, targeting her would put him on the defensive.
But an instant later, the millions of bats transformed into Mental Fragments that flowed into the Main Character's body.
Currently, they were in the void, for the world Zaira created was already absorbed by Compass Carburettor. Stencil transformed into a Coordinate to survive in this void while Gehera used a totem—stolen from Slayer—to do the same.
Standing a few metres before them was the Main Character whose three heads were each facing their respective opponent. Compass Carburettor stared at Conjurer, using his Spirit Morph to strengthen the fear felt by the other party.
Domino Plottopia stared at Zaira, flashing a peaceful smile at the other party to say, "The System World is a database that contains the data of every single System, right?"
'How does she know this?' Zaira frowned in response, sensing through her power that Domino Plottopia was barely two years old. But despite that, she seemed to possess powers from multiple worlds, especially those related to the Hunter System. 'Is that why a bunch of Grade 2 Systems were flustered recently?'
Honestly, none of the Grade 2 Systems had ever experienced their power getting stolen by someone else. As this was the first time it happened, they were flustered.
Finally, Gahrat stared at Slayer, blinking in confusion to ask, "Why aren't you taking action? Are you the Main Character's ally or not?"
"Your future depends on your answer."
