Chereads / Isekai Crossover: The Protagonist Who Outsmarted the System / Chapter 13 - Even If You Deceive the World, You Mustn't Lie to Yourself

Chapter 13 - Even If You Deceive the World, You Mustn't Lie to Yourself

"Good intentions might need a reason, but malice doesn't."

Kishi's expression was serious.

If you think about it objectively, it makes sense.

One day, a system suddenly appears, saying it will help you achieve your dreams, take you on adventures, make you a king, and give you countless powerful abilities without any reason.

Isn't that suspicious?

It's almost like a scam, but the temptation from the system is so great that it's hard to resist.

But nothing good ever comes free.

Nightmares usually come with poison!

In short, this [system] didn't look like a good thing.

It was like a virus on a computer.

No matter how harmless it seemed now, it was still a foreign object residing in one's soul.

At first, I speculated kindly, thinking maybe you really had no ill intentions, maybe you were an accidental product, or the person who created you saw me like a son. But... it's hard to believe.

Kishi shook his head helplessly, saying even a three-year-old wouldn't be fooled, let alone a seven-year-old like himself.

Since good intentions couldn't be explained,

It could only be explained by malice.

The result became clear and transparent in an instant.

Kishi couldn't help but imagine if the system's good intentions were just a facade, waiting for the day he ascended the throne and truly ruled the world...

Would the system become a virus?

Would it turn him into a puppet for the [God] who created it?

System: "You have no proof!"

Kishi: "Proof? Who needs it? Don't forget, I want to be king! I'd rather kill by mistake than let you go! There are so many suspicious things about you, so proof doesn't matter anymore!"

After all, proof is only needed by the weak. For an absolute king... If you're guilty, you're guilty!

The bright red magic of EA clashed with the system.

The world trembled like thunder! It was as if a new world was being created! Just the aftermath of that power completely altered the landscape.

The young prince's black hair flew wildly, and his face showed an arrogance and frivolity beyond his years.

At this moment, the present and future overlapped!

It seemed like the person standing here wasn't a young prince.

But a future unrivaled king who had already conquered the world!

[Plan successful! ! !]

Kishi was elated.

This was the moment he aimed for.

The time travel in his previous life had proven that even if the system was strong, it would be weak for a period after time travel.

The deviant sword EA was a sword that could destroy the world.

Maybe in its heyday, the system, which could open world barriers at any time and let people travel through, couldn't be defeated. But at this moment, with insufficient energy and just restarted...

It was extremely effective!

"Die, system!"

"Request for negotiation! Request for negotiation! We have something to discuss. If the host destroys this system, your ideal will definitely not be realized! We are willing to promise you..."

"Begging for mercy now, system? But... hahaha! It's truly delightful! Beg louder!"

Kishi laughed heartily. He could be the first time traveler to force the system to beg for mercy.

As for mercy?

Who would keep this cancer alive?

Finally, cracks appeared on the system interface.

"I don't understand! It's impossible! It shouldn't be! Analyze the current situation! Why is this happening?! But it's just a host, how dare you do this?!"

"Haha! Why, have you finally stopped pretending?"

This moment was critical for its life and death. The system, which was supposed to be an emotionless machine, showed "shock" and "puzzle."

It shocked Kishi to see the truth clearly.

That's right, the so-called system was a virus, with [travelers] as carriers, a device used by gods to corrode other worlds!

When the traveler reached the pinnacle of their life, the virus would activate, turning them into God's puppet instantly.

At that time, the world they lived in would instantly become God's territory.

But even so, the system was still confused.

"Why are you resisting? How dare you rebel?! This shouldn't be the case. A time traveler without a system has no skills left..."

Some smart travelers in the past guessed the nature of the system, but without exception, they all chose to accept it silently and were willing to become puppets.

After all, reality is cruel.

What is a time traveler without a system? Those pampered young masters and ladies from the 21st century suddenly thrown into a strange world... Can they really be expected to show their talents?

How many remember how to make soap?

Does anyone remember how to make paper?

How many can recite poems by heart?

Without the help of plug-ins/systems, it's strange if these outsiders can survive in the new world. They might not even defeat a goblin or a slime.

The so-called time traveler is just a slave to the system, but because of this, the system was confused. Why did Kishi have the courage to draw a sword against it?

"Hmph~ Ridiculous!"

Kishi smiled contemptuously.

No one could find out at this moment.

The bright red light flashing in his eyes was proof that the curse from the witch and Geass was taking effect.

No one knew except C.C.

After obtaining "absolute compliance" with Geass, the first thing Kishi did was find a mirror and use it on himself.

Geass could also be effective on oneself. He exerted this ability on himself, and his command was...

"I give this order in the name of Kishi. I... won't lie to myself! Even if you deceive the whole world, it doesn't matter, but don't deceive yourself! This is the principle!"
