Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

As the dust cleared up, the first person standing in front of Ed's and Shane's unconscious bodies was Dirt. He looked like a wall that was shielding them from any harm. Then he stared at Dark and narrowed his eyes before opening his mouth:

"Long time no see, former boss."

Dark scoffed and jumped down from the roof. "You have no respect for your bosses. Previously, you eloped with Ed, and now, look, you don't even try to protect your current boss anymore. Tch. Tch. You're so heartless."

Dirt said nothing and raised his hand as sparks of energy flickered at the tips of his fingers. "Let's fight. I owe you one."

"Fine." Dark raised his hands as unlimited threads grew out of his hands, wandering about in the air. "Be careful. I'm not like before. I won't be merciful."

"I don't need your mercy." Dirt's cold voice echoed through the place.

He could still feel his boss's shallow breathing. He calculated that if he managed to deal with his former boss, he might be able to get them all out, but he would himself get injured. So he didn't plan to win this fight at all.

Even though he was an AI, he had a thorough understanding of human and system emotions. He had also upgraded a lot all these years to the point that he had climbed closer to Ed in terms of power. But he himself knew deep in his heart that he wasn't as powerful as Dark.

But he could still find enough time and escape.

If things still don't work, he has another plan in his mind.

The corners of his lips curved up as he did all the necessary in his mind in the blink of an eye. Then the two of them started fighting.

The threads created an enlarged creature that attacked Dirt from a distance. Still, this wasn't enough to scare Dirt away.

Dark knew this very well. Even though he knew that this robot was beneath him in terms of power, the AI was still a trouble. He would have to be careful, otherwise, today's operation would be fruitless.

He gritted his teeth and spread a small amount of thread behind him. He then controlled a few students behind him.

His power was to control everything and anything with the help of these threads. That was how he was able to overpower the rest of the people in this system world. He scoffed. This robot was nothing in his eyes.

If not for Ed's presence, he didn't think this robot could have become independent! Today, he would teach this thing how to act properly!

As he thought, he controlled the monster he created as the monster used its claws on Dirt.

The latter easily dodged the attack and didn't even use his powers. He stared disdainfully at his former master.

"You have grown lax."

Dark's eyes squinted. Although he had known this robot had changed a lot, to be able to feel and show human emotions through that face…..

Only Ed was capable of achieving such a feat.

"You actually know how to feel emotions!" Dark attacked using the monster as it threw out a fireball. "How wonderful!"

Dirt dodged the attack again and stood at the center again with a calm expression. "Thank you. I have learned a lot from my master."

"You-" Dark controlled his emotions and decided not to care about this robot's words unless he wanted to fail. "Take this!"

Suddenly, a few students in his control became zombies as they all attacked Dirt.

The robot narrowed his eyes and smiled. This time, he raised his hands and put his palms in front of those people. Soon enough, their bodies froze.

They couldn't move at all!

Dirt scoffed. "So, you were saying?"

Dark chuckled. "Sure enough. Ed wasn't wasting his time when he took you away. He actually knew how to use you. What was your attribute? Time, right?"

"I just stopped those zombies' time." Dirt explained calmly. "I have grown much more powerful than before. You have no idea."

"Same here," Dark spoke as the ground trembled. "You thought those groups of zombies were my only weapon? Wrong. They were just a distraction!"

Soon enough, a huge monster of an unknown level ran in their direction. Its build was so huge that it towered over the entire city. It didn't care where it was going or whom it was crushing under its feet. So, just like that, many civilians died.

Dirt's eyes twitched. "You really are shameless to do this."

"What's the problem?" Dark smiled. "I'm Dark, after all. I'm the most dangerous criminal of all time in this attire!"

"Do you know how many people are dying because of you?" 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

"Do I look like I care? What? You're not going to complain to the System God, are you?" Dark chuckled as he spoke, "You need to get your facts straight. No one can kill me."

Dirt frowned. Looks like he would have to abandon plan A. in any case, he had another plan in his mind to deal with such troubles. Even though he was just a robot, he still knew it was wrong to kill innocents because of desires.

First, he didn't have any desire, to begin with. Secondly, he could create any method of escape in a fraction of a second.

Suddenly, he raised his fingers and pointed them toward the monster coming closer. Energy started pouring out of his fingers. Slowly, the monster's body paused and frowned. Soon enough, its body started shrinking in the blink of an eye. It almost looked like it was growing backward, becoming smaller and smaller.

This kind of attack was so terrifying that even Dark stood there, frozen. He stared at the monster in a daze.

How come this AI became so powerful?! The last time he had fought Dirt was ages ago, but even then, the level of an upgrade this robot went through was insane!

Hah. He underestimated Ed.

That sneaky guy would have created a freak after keeping it with him all these years. Dark gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. Even then, he knew that Dirt might be at the end of his powers. He would soon be able to kill the robot with his own hands.

Just when he glanced around toward the open ground, everyone went missing. Not even Ed's body remained there.

Dark stared at the scene as he grunted.

He failed.

Nevermind.

At least, he managed to make Ed unconscious because of his actions. This was probably his greatest achievement.

After thinking of this, he was in a good mood as he waved his hands. The hooded people behind him vanished without a trace. He also didn't linger there any longer and went away.

At this time, Dirt had managed to drag two unconscious bodies to the nearest cave. He placed a protective array to hide the three of them as he put the bodies against the wall and leaned back, taking deep breaths.

These years, his AI body went from being a robot to becoming close to a human being. All his body parts were altered into organs, which made it easier for him to be exhausted soon.

He silently closed his eyes for a second before opening it again. He gritted his teeth.

He didn't even have time to rest. Two stubborn people were lying unconscious. If he didn't nend their wounds, they might end up dying!

Dirt pushed himself up and glared at two people lying against the wall of the cave. He directly opened up his system and used the herbs he had bought already. If he dared to make a purchase at this time, Dark might track him. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

He couldn't risk it. So he would just use the herbs Ed had made him purchase before. Then he directly stuffed the pills into their mouths and rested against the cave wall.

After that, even Dirt didn't know when he ended up falling asleep. The last attack he used used up too much of his powers previously. It would take some time before he could recover.

After an unknown time, Shane finally opened his eyes and blinked. He didn't remember where he was for a moment before the memories of what happened came back to him, making his eyes widen.

Tess died.

A demon named Dark set him up against his master and forced him to blow out.

His powers were revealed to the public, making him their mortal enemy.

Shane couldn't react for a moment. He could admit that this was all his fault for being too immature. He was so self centered on himself that he couldn't see the big picture. He was still acting like a university student, after all.

At this time, he wasn't so worried about killing so many people in the world they were in previously. Perhaps the demons killed all the last humans standing there. But he felt bad because he was incompetent.

If only he was powerful enough….

If only he had more battle experience….

This was his first time facing an enemy so strong. He shouldn't have been so immature and out of his mind in the middle of a fight. Because of him, not only Ed, but also Tess suffered. He wondered if she really died.

The light in Shane's eyes dimmed.
