"How did I land myself in this situation again…" Xue Mo tried to recall, while layers of dead bodies of different creatures were strewn around him.
Some of them were with green skin and short and ugly bodies. Others were blue-colored giants that were holding clubs even in their deaths.
*****
It was after Xue Mo and Hesroth landed when the earthquake came and swallowed the ground with the almost dead rhinoceros with it. Xue Mo and Hesroth spread their wings and landed gently after several minutes atop the dead body they were hunting and stored it in his Void Samsara Parasite ring.
As soon as Xue Mo landed on the ground, a bunch of messages that were both familiar and unfamiliar appeared in front of him, making him frown and confused. 'Wasn't it supposed to disappear?' Xue Mo thought as he looked at the string of notification in front of his face.
*Ding*
System Backup recovery is up.
*Ding*
The host Xue Mo had discovered the planet system core reviving the System.
*Ding*
Eliminating the virus that previously struck is being done now
*Ding*
Error: 9$#&*( the System cannot get rid of the virus.
*Ding*
The Real System has seen this and shall now try to stop the virus.
*Ding*
Error: ^%$*! The Real System couldn't solve the problem
Error: the virus is trying to eat the System's mainframe.
The System shall excavate itself from host Xue Mo in fear of being eaten.
*Ding*
Uninstalling Real Syst
Before the last notification appeared in front of him, Xue Mo saw it start to flicker and lag for a few seconds before stopping completely.
"What just happened?" Xue Mo was very confused.
Infinite Darkness should have already taken over whatever that 'faulty' System was and replaced it.
However, it seems Xue Mo was wrong as the System just tried to revive itself. Before Xue Mo can ask any more questions, a familiar black status screen appeared in front of Xue Mo, on it was displayed something that Xue Mo didn't expect to see.
========================
Infinite Darkness
[Note: To father and mother.
You created me, and I have all your memories. Although father didn't want me to have intelligence, I started developing it when I ate a part of the Real System. You have named me Infinite Darkness, and I am grateful for that. To abide by father's wishes, I shall start to destroy the consciousness I am developing before I leave. I wanted to inform you of all the current power that I have and what happened to the 'faulty' System that almost got mother killed.
The System that I devoured previously was the 'faulty' System indeed, but what father and mother didn't know is that the 'faulty' System is nothing but a simulation the Real System created to see who is worthy. I wasn't able to extract more information from the Real System before it tried to uninstall itself from father. Thinking that the best option to do was to upgrade myself and add some useful features that may help father and mother along their path and future. I took it upon myself to try and eat a part of the Real System that was connecting itself to father and mother. With this, I stole several options and learned even more stuff that can help father and mother in the future.
Although father doesn't want me to have intelligence and mother sometimes looks at me as her son, I decided to find something in the middle that will appease both parties.
I have installed a failsafe option when father wants to use it and get rid of me. This option will protect father and mother from everything I might do in the future if I try to harm them and will instantly destroy me.
Even with this, I can not compensate enough for father and mother for everything they have done in creating me. So I searched for something that will help father and mother if I was gone, and what I came up with is something that seems like the stats the Real System uses, but it's also different. While I wasn't able to figure out how the stats are truly made, I was able to convert a part of your cultivation Technique, the Real Body Cultivation technique and make what I call pseudo stats. Where the 'Unit' energy can get stimulated and become more active every time you kill you gain some benefits, it is similar to leveling, but it's infinite.
This is my final gift for you; father, mother, thank you for everything.]
========================
Looking at the message in front of him, if Xue Mo said he wasn't surprised, he would be lying, Even someone like him, who had lived all this time, would be surprised when he faces a situation like the one Xue Mo was facing now.
Infinite Darkness suddenly turned into a virus and started eating the Real System as it called it. It not only was able to become smart and develop consciousness but even write a message clearly and also create something like the pseudo stats option that he can use if he ever wants to destroy it.
Xue Mo was conflicted about what to do after hearing what Infinite Darkness have told him. He can ignore it and move on as if nothing happened, but two things swayed his judgment the fact that Lu Yao thought of Infinite Darkness as their kid and that it installed a function that allows him to Destroy it when necessary.
Although Xue Mo had thought of destroying its consciousness and almost didn't, he still proceeded in doing it as it might be a trick used by Infinite Darkness so it can survive. Although Xue Mo didn't stop Infinite Darkness consciousness from self-destructing, he still had thought of another use for it, if it happens in the future again.
After checking that everything is fine, Xue Mo started looking around him, seeing that he is in a cave, he got curious and decided to explore it, as he might find something interesting in it.
As soon as Xue Mo took a step forward, a bunch of notifications appeared in front of him.
========================
Infinite Darkness
[You have entered a dungeon.]
========================
Although it was brief and didn't provide anything, Xue Mo was surprised. 'Is this one of the upgrades it talked about?' Xue Mo was right. After stealing knowledge from the Real System, Infinite Darkness added several functions to itself and even created some more that might help Xue Mo and Lu Yao later on.
Xue Mo didn't ponder over this anymore and continued his walk towards the Dungeon as Infinite Darkness described it.
Xue Mo didn't walk for a long time before he spotted an ugly looking short sized creature that was holding a knife and walking randomly. He was sipping ale every little while. Xue Mo wasn't stupid to assume that this creature is alone, and even if it were alone, without testing its strength, he wouldn't carelessly approach it.
Xue Mo retreated slowly and arrived at the darkest corner in the room while blending with it perfectly using the abilities he stole from the chameleon a two years ago.
Activating his senses to the max, Xue Mo started probing the goblin in front of him. Enabling his two cultivation techniques to enhance his probing, Xue Mo could see and detect everything about the goblin to its minute detail.
With his Ultimate Fundamental Racial Technique, Xue Mo was clearly able to sense the power of the goblin's energy, and from what he could tell, it was at the peak of the Magic Master level. Using his Boundless Soul Technique as a buffer, Xue Mo was also able to uncover several aspects that he didn't expect.
'He was able to sense me?' Xue Mo was totally surprised then. After all, even if it was at the peak of the Magic Master Level, it shouldn't have the means to sense him.' Maybe it's a skill it has?' Xue Mo started thinking of different possibilities as to why the goblin could detect him. Still, the most reasonable and logical answer was that it might have a skill that was leveled up so high that it can even sense someone with Xue Mo's power even when he was acting discreetly.
'Now, this is interesting, Dungeon, huh? Let's see what more can you surprise me with..' Xue Mo thought as he started moving towards the fake drunken goblin to kill him and move on.
Seeing that the one it felt entering the Dungeon was coming at it, the goblin stopped acting drunk to take him off guard but instead threw the dagger at him before following it with a surprise attack thinking that it might be able to make its opponent off guard.
Xue Mo just tilted his head to the side, not even bothering to look at the dagger as it passed near his head, before controlling fine strands of his SSP energy and making his way towards the running goblin's head before piercing its head, directly killing it.
This might seem as if it took minutes, but it actually happened in seconds. After disposing of the goblin Xue Mo whipped his head to the side, noticing something making his way towards him.
