Chapter 11 - An Unexpected Discovery
In the Hall of Reincarnation and Transmigration.
The old man was sitting on a couch and playing with a handheld console.
Just when he was about to slay the boss-
{BEEP! BEEP!
ALERT!
AN ABYSSAL DUNGEON HAS BEEN CLEANSED.
REQUEST FOR CONNECTION DETECTED.
CONFIRM OR DECLINE?}
"Confirm." He sighed looking at the 'You Died' screen in his handheld console.
CONNECTION CONFIRMED.
CONNECTION WITH THE 'REALM OF DRACIA' IS ONLINE AGAIN AFTER 289 MILLION YEARS.
Hearing the contents of the systematic voice, the old man immediately disappeared.
He came into the same hall where Ingril was waiting for him.
"Your Excellency, that human achieved it in a single day!" Ingril's whole flaming body was changing its color continuously.
"Let me take a look." The old man ordered Ingril.
SWISH!
Ingril appeared with a floating screen beside him.
...
In the Realm of Dracia.
[Requesting Connection...]
[Connection Established.]
[BEEP!]
On the system's screen, a television like black screen had appeared. A few seconds later, both Ingril and the old man appeared.
Both sides stared at each other for a full minute in silence.
The old man's eyes were continuously moving, as if he was suffering from myopia.
"Oi human! What the fuck's wrong with your skills and stat points. And that heaven defying luck?! Why are you naked too?! Is that size even achievable?!" The old man cursed straight into the screen.
"Why do you ask me?! You gave me the wrong system in the first place! Now you're even jealous of my personal thing?!" Elias didn't lose his ground.
He was not under any pressure this time, so he could do however he pleased.
Veins popped up on the old man's head, but he immediately controlled his emotions and covered his face with the usual jolly expression.
"Fine... let's keep this aside. You must have a reason to use this once in a lifetime method to contact us, right?" The old man looked at Elias seriously.
[The host didn't contact you. It was me.] The system intervened.
"Oh? What is it, then?" The old man asked.
[I'm not supposed to be in this world and Its already too late for me to change hosts right?]
"Yes. You can't be separated due to the soul bonding." The old man spoke expressionlessly.
[Then send me the original 'Realm of Dracia' gift. I don't want to enter overclock mode every time for calculating the EXP and other things.]
"I was going to send it anyway." The old man's face became jolly again.
"Anything else?" He asked with his excited face.
[Due to the host having too many bloodlines, his evolution paths are not very good-]
"I can't interfere with that." The old man spoke with a frown on his face.
[BEEP!]
The connection was broken.
"Sigh" Elias knew the outcome regarding his evolution path.
[UPDATING...]
After half an hour.
[New functions available.]
[Abyssal Hall Chat Group Is Online Now.]
[ Skill - Abyssal Convergence (SSS) {Passive} learned.]
"Hey, system!" Elias asked with a bored expression.
[You can commence evolution now.] The system spoke with its usual voice.

Elias didn't look at the system panel, as he had closed his eyes after the system mentioned evolution. He was both excited and afraid. He was sitting beside the huge rock where the slime king was killed.
...
Meanwhile, in the Hall of Reincarnation and Transmigration.
"Your Excellency, we have received the updates from 'The Realm of Dracia'. You need to see this!" Ingril came forward with a worried expression.
"Hm? Now what did that brat do?" The old man's face became ugly for a moment.
"The dungeon they conquered was overpopulated with Slimes. Reaching an astonishing number of 3,500 and more. One fourth of these slimes were variant slimes. And..." Ingril hesitated after a few moments.
"Spit it out!" The old man ordered with a sharp glint in his eyes.
"The boss monster had learned two S-rank skills: Spatial Manipulation and Temporal Adaptation." Ingril spoke timidly.
The old man's eyes were wide open in horror.
"The Abyss aura is not just making them stronger and aggressive. It's also mutating them." The old man looked at the vast space screen where a small world was being devoured by a black, reddish aura.
"We can't interfere in this, even if things have escalated till this point." The old man sighed helplessly.
