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

Chaos Power had disappeared, a hollow, broken soul was disappearing into thin air, bit by bit.

After it had disappeared, John looked at the pile of skin and clothes on the floor and waited for a while. He noticed the skin wasn’t moving and nothing was being generated anymore.

Looking at the system, he noticed a massive increase in Chaos Power.

Chaos Pool: 103,394

That’s a little over ten billion Life Power I got from killing Finlay, but I didn’t get a system notification about killing my first Transcendent. It’s fine, I don’t have a need for the Skill Point that normally comes with that notification anyway.

If the system was given by the universe and I defied the universe to kill a Transcendent, then it’s not surprising I didn’t get a reward, but I am surprised I didn’t get a punishment like O’Malley said would happen if you forcefully changed the past.

John looked at O’Malley, who was poking Finlay’s skin, and spoke. “It worked, Finlay’s dead.”

O’Malley stood up, tossed his head back, and laughed like a maniac.

It was only quiet again after ten minutes.

O’Malley was still smiling, but he had tears in his eyes. They seemed livelier than they were before, and they shone with glee.

O’Malley wiped the tears away and gave John a few compliments before asking if John could continue, or if there was a limit on how many Transcendents he could kill.

Shaking his head, John replied, “It only takes brute force to destroy the soul, so there’s no limitation there. I didn’t get any kind of punishment from the universe either, so as far as I can tell, there’s no limit to how many Transcendents I can kill.”

Clapping his hands with a huge smile, O’Malley shouted, “Great! That’s fantastic! Let me go wake everyone else!”

As soon as he finished speaking, O’Malley disappeared so fast his shadow was still on the floor without him being there. Less than a second later, the shadow disappeared, too.

John walked over to one of the seats and sat down, waiting for O’Malley. He wasn’t sure about the exact number of people inside the castle because his Scan was being stopped from seeing inside.

Looking over, he noticed Jamie was thinking about something, so he opened his system and used two mind parts to do a test.

One mind part for absorbing and the other part opening the Storage Space, he waited for a few minutes to find out he was gaining eight Chaos Power every minute, meaning eight hundred million Life Power per minute.

The techniques from Finlay’s information gave him about 650 million Life Power per minute increase, and he had about two hundred Transcendents left to kill.

All of a sudden, he was looking forward to killing these Transcendents rather than only killing them to stop O’Malley from coming after him and his family.

Mid-thought, a man walked out of the castle. He had his hair to one side and was dressed well, but when he walked towards John, his plump body began to bounce.

“You are the man who will kill us, yes?” the man inquired. “Sir Shane already told this one what to do, so let’s get on with it, yes?”

John could just about understand what the man was talking about, but he created an Information Sphere and chucked it to the plump man.

A few minutes later, John had the sphere back and began to go through the information. When he was done, he nodded to the man and repeated the process of killing a Transcendent.

It didn’t take long for another ring of Chaos Power to explode in his hand, but there wasn’t any kind of system notification afterwards this time.

Another man came out of the castle not long after he killed the plump man, and this new person also said O’Malley told him about the deal.

Fifteen hours later, John had killed all the Transcendents O’Malley had woken up. All of them wanted to die when the chance had been given to them, even those who said they didn’t want to die a hundred millennia ago.

John also met Singlestrike, the man who created the Sword Sect. He wasn’t a Sider like he and Sarah had assumed, but he had gotten the ideas about the podium, badges, and other things from O’Malley.

The amount of information he had gained from them all was too much for his brain, so he had to shut down all options and swapped the mind parts that were working on something to help him go through it.

The Scan’s range is a little too low for me now anyway. It was extremely useful back when I just became an immortal and couldn’t travel far, but now that I can teleport between universes spanning countless light years, it has a limited use.

John looked at O’Malley, the only Transcendent left besides John and Jamie.

O’Malley stood before him, finishing up his Information Sphere, and quickly handed it to John.

John smiled as he went through it. “There’s something extra I want from you.”

O’Malley laughed. “You want to hurt me before killing me? Revenge for threatening you and your wife?”

Shaking his head, John didn’t explain. He looked at Jamie and asked him to leave for a little while. When Jamie was gone, John opened up the Share tab in the system. A new name, Shane O’Malley, was in the list.

When he activated it, John spoke. “Share all skills you’ve got with my system. When you die, the skills might disappear, but I’m hoping they don’t.”

“Oh?” Shane’s eyebrows lifted up in surprise. “I didn’t know we could share skills between systems, unless it’s something unique to yours. Haha, I’m actually curious as to what the results will be now, but I’ll never know since I need to die.”

Soul Manipulate All:

Anything that has a soul can be manipulated anyway you want.

However, that was the only skill that O’Malley shared.

Knitting his brows, John asked, “You’ve got no other skills? My Soul Manipulation skill is pretty much the same as this skill.”

Shrugging his shoulders, O’Malley replied, “My system is the upgrade type, so I only
