The Idle System (A LitRPG series Book 7): Family, Pegaz [learn to read books txt] 📗

It still took over twenty minutes for the information to be processed and when it finished, John felt the Sinners Shop’s Continuation skill working. All the breathing and absorbing techniques Finlay knew about and John hadn’t seen before that were inside the Information Sphere were merging with the techniques John was using.

Inside the information, John saw how Finlay helped in creating planets like O’Malley had told him about; the experiences about using all the elements in different ways were now his which would stop John from wasting time and effort experimenting to come to the same results.

One of the few questions still bugging John got answered, too.

He had wondered why the system would give him the Resistance’s Elemental Force, but the beastman cores and abilities were called Gravity instead.

Now he knew that Gravity was only to add or subtract force onto something to make it heavier or lighter while in a planet’s atmosphere or on the battlefield’s plane, but Force was the ability to do that and so much more.

Force was using the element in any or multiple directions instead. It could be used in every direction at a target to cause the target to be crushed into paste, or it could be used on different parts of a target in different directions to pull the target apart.

It could also be used anywhere in the universe, even if there was no atmosphere.

The system’s immunity was towards the whole element and not just Gravity, but getting physically hit by somebody causing him to be pushed backwards was a different type of force, which the system hadn’t given him immunity to.

So when Keket physically hit him back on the battlefield, John was still launched backwards from the generated force.

John opened his eyes and smiled at Finlay. “Thank you. Since you’ve kept your end of the deal, I’m going to do everything I can to fulfil my end.”

Chapter 38: *Spoiler*

After making sure Finlay was ready, John used all one million of his threads to wrap around Finlay while making sure every millimetre was covered.

John then opened his system and turned the Absorb option on.

O’Malley had explained that this castle had runes around it to block the Chaos Power of the universe, so John didn’t feel any elements or Chaos Power being drawn towards him when he turned the option on.

But after half a second, John felt power travelling through the threads into his body. That meant that his threads could take the Chaos Power from a transcendent, meaning there was hope in fulfilling the deal.

It took a few minutes for the power travelling through the threads to dry out, so John removed the threads.

As soon as the threads were removed, a pile of skin and clothes that was still standing upright collapsed on the floor.

However, something was moving inside the pile of skin and the empty eye sockets had bright purple colour shining from behind them.

A few seconds later, John noticed the skin that was around Finlay’s skull was being filled once again, meaning Finlay was being revived.

John used a single unit of Chaos Power to create a small blade above his fingertips and used the blade to slit open Finlay’s scalp to find a small bright purple ball was in the middle of the flesh that was being generated.

Before any more flesh was generated and wrapped around the soul completely, John created more threads and pulled the soul outside the skin.

The threads started absorbing the flesh that the soul was generating while he pulled the soul out.

He brought the soul up to his eyesight to see the situation more clearly.

As long as my threads wrap around the soul, I can stop Finlay’s recovery, but I can’t walk around with the threads and more souls around me all the time.

I’ve still got Sarah’s, Kelly’s, and my soul from the past with me and I’m already being careful with everything I do to not damage them. Adding more souls isn’t an option.

Every time I’ve killed somebody with the threads, the soul flies away to who-knows-where after the person died, but this time, since the soul is the thing that’s keeping the Transcendents from dying, the soul stayed inside the skin to regenerate the body.

I might be able to eat the soul like I’ve done before and that will destroy it for sure, but that would make me relive Finlay’s eons worth of life through his memories and who knows what kind of effect that’ll have on me.

Danny’s short tens of years worth of life almost made me hate my master before I came back to reality when I had just become an immortal.

Isaek’s memories were longer because he was older than Danny. Thankfully, the memories of others popped up, too, so I didn’t get confused about who I was while I was stuck in Isaek’s memories.

Finlay has lived too long… Even if I see other people’s memories, my mind might just break. He’s not the only Transcendent who wants to die either, so eating everyone’s soul definitely isn’t an option.

Since I’ve got a passive skill that lets me defy the universe and it’s the soul that’s making the Transcendents unable to die, I might be able to destroy the soul.

The threads and the Absorb option don’t work on the soul, so let’s try brute force.

John used Chaos Power to wrap around the soul while removing the threads. He pushed more and more Chaos Power around the soul while he was trying to crush it.

When the amount of Chaos Power reached a tipping point, John heard a crack. He generated more Chaos Power and pressure onto the soul.

A few seconds later, an explosion occurred and a thin purple ring of Chaos Power expanded from where the soul was.

Ding!

Added creature ‘Human’ to Create Illusion skill.

Oh? That shows that I’ve managed to kill a Transcendent and that Kelly’s system skills will even work with humans.

John stopped pushing Chaos Power to reveal what had happened.

When the
