"There was a time when we were able to track Exus’ location, but the fellow that got sent after him was killed," Erin said, her voice tinged with a hint of regret. The mention of the fellow’s fate seemed to bring a moment of solemnity to the conversation. "Moreover, his sacrifice was worth the information we got to learn in return," Erin continued, her expression turning determined. "We discovered that Exus was using his powers in a way that hurt humans in every world, even though to him, he call it test. So we decided to create the system." "The system was created to give whoever comes across it a power similar to Exus’," Erin explained, her eyes locked onto Dave’s. "The person would be human but would have a god-level power. And the criteria were to find someone innocent, so the system wouldn’t fall into the hands of someone like Exus." "To make this easier and void of suspicions, we attached the system to one of the meteors that would be sent to Earth by Exus," Erin revealed, her words painting a picture of careful planning. "And luckily, we discovered that in every world, he always gives a part of his powers to three humans. He would choose an evil and a good person, so as to have fun watching them fight against each other. Evil against good. And it’s always two evil against one good." "Fortunately, you were picked," Erin said, a hint of satisfaction in her voice. "But we can’t just give you all the powers at the same time. So we decided to evaluate who had ended up with the system. And so far from my evaluations, I can say you’re a good person." Erin’s gaze seemed to bore into Dave’s soul, as if searching for any hidden truths. The weight of Erin’s words settled upon Dave, and he felt a sense of wonder at the complexity of the situation. He was part of a much larger plan, one that spanned worlds and involved gods. The realization was both exhilarating and daunting. "During our first ever experiment, the person we initially picked wasn’t lucky enough to activate all three powers, but somehow, you were able to," Erin said, a hint of surprise still evident in her voice. "You unlocked the first stage to godship." The words hung in the air, filled with implication. "First stage to godship?" Dave repeated, his curiosity piqued. Erin’s expression turned enigmatic, and she seemed reluctant to elaborate. "More details won’t be revealed about that yet," she said, her voice firm but gentle. "But what we want you to know now is, you have to take down Exus at all costs. With powers almost similar to his, we’re counting on you to triumph and do what we as gods have failed to do." Dave’s eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the weight of the task ahead. "And once I succeed, what will happen next?" he asked, his voice laced with determination. Erin’s response was straightforward. "The apocalypse will end, everything will get back to normal. And there will be no more killings on earth." For a moment, Dave thought about everything that had been said. The gods, all-powerful and ancient, had failed to take down one of their own. Now, they were relying on him, a human, to complete the task. The irony was not lost on him. At that moment, he had heard Erin speak. It was as if she could read his thoughts. "Not just any human, a human with godly powers," His eyes then snapped to hers, surprise etched on his face. "Can you hear my thoughts?" he asked, the question obvious but necessary. Erin’s response was matter-of-fact. "I’m linked to your mind, so I can hear your thoughts." The admission was casual, but Dave’s mind reeled with multiple thoughts. At that moment, another thought had came across Dave’s mind after hearing her response. "Does that mean you can see me while having sex as well?" He asked, and Erin had undeniably nodded in response. Dave’s eyes widened in shock, " Are you kidding me? Can’t I have a bit of privacy?" Erin just chuckled in response. "Believe me, I’ve seen a lot of humans have sex together, so watching you fuck those girls isn’t a new thing to me. And sorry for invading your privacy, but I have no other choice. Do you think I want to watch you have Sex?" Erin’s words spilled out in a rush, her voice laced with a mix of frustration and embarrassment. "I only accepted to do it because my master put me up to it, and because the whole existence of the human race is in danger!" As she spoke, Dave could have sworn he saw a faint blush rise to her cheeks, a telltale sign of embarrassment. Dave’s expression softened slightly, and he nodded. "Okay." Then, after a few seconds, he continued, "Well, now that you’ve delivered your message. I suppose it’s time you go back to being my system," he said, his voice calm. Erin’s gaze locked onto his, and for a moment, Dave thought he saw a flicker of concern in her eyes. But before he could be sure, Erin spoke again, her voice serious. "Right, before I leave, I have to warn you. Don’t underestimate Exus. I know your power is overpowered, greater than what any human being could have, but to Exus, your powers are nothing." Her words were laced with a sense of gravity, and Dave felt a slight shiver run down his spine. "That’s why it’s advisable that you continue to get stronger, you must win Dave." Erin said with a very firm voice. And with that, her body began to disintegrate into energy particles, and Dave felt a strange sensation as she merged back into his being. The system reappeared above his face, displaying a translucent screen. Dave stood there, absorbing everything Erin had said. He replayed their conversation in his mind, weighing his options. After a few minutes of contemplation, he made up his mind. "Well then, this means I still have a long way to go," he muttered to himself. Just then, a group of Ignarok beasts ran past the building, their snarls and growls a harsh reminder of the world outside. Dave’s eyes narrowed, and he clenched his jaw. "Best if I start working my arse off now," he said, a newfound determination burning within him. The hours ticked by, and the sun beat down relentlessly as Dave finally finished off the last of the intermediate beasts. The carnage was staggering as 15,000 beasts lay lifeless on the ground with holes and multiple wounds on their bodies. This was due to Dave’s punch and his unrelenting will to take down each and every one of the beasts. But this had managed to take a toll on Dave’s body. He had killed the last of the beasts, but then he discovered that his breathing had become so haggard, and he was starting to feel hungry. His movements had become so slow that he just had to carefully walked towards a spot to sit down and relax. Despite his impressive endurance, the exertion had drained his energy reserves. And right now, the only thing he could do to regain his energy, was to eat, and that was what he was doing. Fortunately, he had some food packaged for him by Jackie, so he brought them out of his void space and started eating. The area before him was a mess, with beast corpses strewn about in every direction. The hybrids, summoned from his void space, swarmed over the bodies, their claws clicking as they worked with precision. They had started extracting the beast crystals within them, since currently Dave was not available to do so. Dave had expected the crystal extraction process to be a long and arduous task, but the hybrids had made it look easy as they moved with an uncanny efficiency from one beast to another in just a few seconds interval. As he watched, a hybrid would approach a beast’s body, its eyes seeming to pinpoint the exact location of the crystal. Then, with a swift, deadly motion, the hybrid would thrust its claws into the beast’s chest, and then withdrawing them, the crystal could then be seen glinting in the sunlight. The process was repeated over and over again, with the hybrids working in a perfect synchrony. Dave’s eyes widened in amazement as he watched them. It was as if they possessed some sort of innate knowledge, allowing them to locate the crystals with ease. Their efficiency was almost hypnotic, their claws moving in a blur as they extracted crystal after crystal from the beasts’ bodies. Dave watched, transfixed, as the process unfolded before him. He couldn’t help but think of the advanced tier beast he had encountered earlier, the one that had effortlessly slaughtered the basic beasts and extracted their crystals with an almost similar speed and efficiency to the hybrids. But still, the Hybrid’s speed surpasses the intermediate beast’s. After all, the hybrids were king tier, so their speed and efficiency was obviously meant to be faster. With their human-like intelligence and beastly strength combined, it made them incredibly effective at extracting the crystals. As Dave watched, he decided to summon another asset to aid in the task; the intermediate beasts he had tamed back at
