SL: Chapter 521 – Day 4,905 (Part 2) – The Tentacled Horrors

“Super-size, it, of course just super-size it all,” I muttered loudly as I watched the massive purple suckered tentacles burst out of the ground around the city. Each one was the length of a cargo ship, or skyscraper. There were a thousand of them. Each of them birthed eyeballs. From slits on their backsides, opposite their suckers.

These floating eyes were only level 4, but they had beam attacks of their own. Soon the entire airspace would be saturated. I dodged several of their ex...

SL: Chapter 520 – Day 4,905 – Prepping For The Storm

“Ready?” Clarissa asked me at breakfast. The preparations to go into lockdown and suspend operations of the Imperial Government were almost completed. Today was the day the city would be upgraded to level 6.

There were an expected 1,000 level 6 monsters that were expected to attack during the upgrade. Billions of points were invested to make sure it was a success. The primary city shield was upgraded to a level 5 shield and could run for 30 days. The walls of the city were level 6 n...

SL: Chapter 519 – Day 4,840 (Part 2) – Theology

XLR8 handed me the speaking stone so my voice would carry. Little Michael came forward and bowed to me deeply at my seat at the back of the cathedral. “Emperor Michael. Um. Well, I wanted to ask, what you think is the most important thing a person should have.” I smiled and nodded at the kid. I had to ban any more kids named after me, otherwise it would have been too big of a headache and confusing.

“Little Michael asked me what I think the most important thing a person should hav...

SL: Chapter 518 – Day 4,840 – The Power Church Of The Almighty System

“My people, let us contemplate the nature of the Mind stat. For there is much to consider about its usefulness,” High Priest XLR8 said while I listened in from my special seat, behind him at the back and center of the Power Church of the Almighty System.

It was a mouthful, but I felt a church needed a strong name. People who believed in the godlike power of the Almighty System were Systemoligists. The only sanctioned religion within the Purgatory Empire. The main church here was mor...

CC: Chapter 28 – Roaring Twilight Upon The Rocks

I was already moving for my sword and pulled it free from the dead rank 3 beast. Spinning around, I kicked off the ground, staying low. Roaring Twilight was leaping down, but it was midair. It couldn’t change its direction. I moved under it and slashed my sword upwards. It tried to twist out of the way, but the beast couldn’t dodge in time.

Blood poured down upon me as I struggled slightly to cut through its flesh. It slammed into the ground past me and I spun. It was quickly back o...

SL: Chapter 517 – Day 4,833 – Captain Francis

Captain Francis

“Unacceptable!” Emperor Michael roared and slammed his hands down onto the desk and it shattered from the impact of the blow. I winced at that as splinters went flying around me. “Six days and the culprit hasn’t been found.” I took a breath before speaking. I hadn’t seen him this upset in a long time. But each day we failed to track down the culprit, Michael got angrier at our lack of progress. My lack of progress, since I had taken over the ...

Joyo

“Then it was like woosh, and I was like smash!” I said at the table Several people were listening in and a lovely lady was sitting on either side of me. I was living the best life. Falling into that arena had been the best accident. It was hard work, scary work, but that was why I enjoyed living it up.

“You are so brave, facing all those high-level monsters,” one of the women said and she leaned into me. I took a peek at the goods. The best women alwa...

Doctor Benjamin Katz

“What do you think?” Jacob asked me as he held up a compact metal case. I took it from him and carefully inspected it. “A reserve battery. The density is quite big.”

I recalled something that I had read in the texts we had recovered from Normandy so long ago. “What about the Goldberg limit of self awareness from energy density?” I asked.

“Nowhere close. And that is with using the dense flesh as a representative expression. ...

SL: Chapter 514 – Day 4,817 – Michelle

Michelle

I wanted it.

It was a stupid thought, but that level 7 monster enthralled me. Its massive body, its immense power. The Molten Millipede of Fear And Destruction. The endowed name was something that rang through my very soul.

After spending a decade on working out monster abilities, battling with monsters, and teaming up with Emperor Michael, I knew exactly what I wanted out of my monsters. The key thing was power. If I had such a level 7 monster, the...

SL: Chapter 513 – Day 4,815 – XLR8

“Main man Emperor!” XLR8 said in his booming voice. He gave a bow and a salute at the same time and then sauntered up to the chair opposite me.

“XLR8,” I greeted him back. The man was a character. But he had been a huge streamer back on Earth and had a decent head on his shoulders. While his personality was eccentric, he was actually quite a clever person under the façade.

He also knew where his bread was buttered literally. Since Clarissa had a strong control over the bu...

SL: Chapter 512 – Day 4,803 – Viewpoints 46

Clarissa

The Crystal Vortex had arrived late this evening. My sworn shadow soldiers swept the hallway ahead of me for any traps or assassination attempts. After the monster battle arena, they had only increased against me. I was Michael’s weakpoint and he was seen as unkillable.

It was only slightly annoying. That was I had my shadow soldiers, cloaked with skills and personal skills. Only the most loyal and the most skilled were accepted into their rank...

CC: Chapter 27 – Hunting Beasts

The carriage took off immediately. There were two guards on the carriage along with the driver. While we hadn’t been attacked on the way out here, it was dangerous traveling between cities. Even if the main roads were well maintained and paved. With how well the roads were made, it was obvious cultivators had been involved in fusing stone togeather, and creating a slightly elevated roadway between cities.

I made sure my pack was tightly secure to my back along with my sword sheath. I ...

SL: Chapter 511 – Day 4,802 – Molten Millipede of Fear And Destruction

I stood on the platform as another Giant Centipede the size of four school busses was blasted apart. Burning chunks rained down into the exploding lava that was the moltenlands. The intense heat was making me sweat slightly. My team had it worse.

We were making progress, but I hadn’t done anything yet. It was mostly Michelle, Joyo, and to a lesser extent Doctor Katz in a supporting role. I was keeping an eye out for any monsters. We were reaching the center of the zone and our pass wa...

SL: Chapter 510 – Day 4,801 – Level 6

Looking to my right, I could barely make out the massive tower in the distance. The distance blurring effect was so great it might have been my imagination. The towers in level 5 zones, were about 70 floors tall and had a much bigger footprint. Almost four times the length and width of the tower from a level 3 zone.

There was a good chance there was a level 8 monster at the top of the tower, and it had level 7 floor bosses the whole way up. There were construct type shape monsters at th...

SL: Chapter 509 – Day 4,799 – The Book Of Curses

“Dammit!” I shouted out loudly as the Book Of Curses was held by a humanoid skeleton in a gray and silver robe let out a black wave of energy. The monster holding it was just a place holder for the true power of the monster in its boney hands.

The real monster was the Book of Curses, but it was anything but simple to fight. Killing it would have been simple. Or as simple as a level 6 monster could be. I pushed out my energy and backed away. The attack was countered.

Our plan w...

SL: Chapter 508 – Day 4,795 – The Eclipsing Moon

Just like with the Infinite Block, our plans went through several revisions before it was finally time to attempt the capture. The sandstorm raged around us. The airship was back in the shatteredlands portion of this level 5 zone.

I was out here, with Michelle, Doctor Katz, and Joyo. Captain Francis was back with the airship, keeping an eye on things there. We would have to push the Crystal Vortex quite high and risk the fifth layer with very dangerous monsters if went through ...

CC: Chapter 26 – The Extractor

The Sect Leader looked over my proposal. It was expensive to build, but if I was going out to hunt beasts, I needed to move quickly. That meant a device to quickly extract cores. I could locate them, but the higher level beasts were tougher. I couldn’t just plunge my hand into them like rank 1 beasts.

That was why I had been spending time on research and looking at how the extractors were actually built. My idea was to create a revolutionary design to make the process much easier and ...

SL: Chapter 507 – Day 4,792 (Part 3) – Curse Damage

Dodging the countless pulses, I was getting mentally tired. Dodging for 100 minutes was exhausting. I couldn’t waste my energy except dodging or keeping the active enchantment going. It was closing in on the 100 minute mark, when things went wrong.

An Expanding Block burst up from the ground and was quite large. I quickly adjusted my footing without issue, kicking off it, but it surged upwards to a distant Expanding Block to crush me. There was too much energy in the zone to sense thi...

SL: Chapter 506 – Day 4,792 (Part 2) – The Infinite Block

The Crystal Vortex spun towards the constantly undulating ground as I kept moving about. Danger! Air Burst! Two Expanding Blocks surged out of the ground and slammed together with a bang, where I had just been. The gravel caught between them was crushed into fine dust. Acid Shot x20. I began melting them as I flew out of the way.

I had given up the thought of any defensive skill since level 5 and now level 6 monsters were insane. Tanking attacks was a bad idea...

CC: Chapter 25 – Elements And Wealth

“I have looked at your plan to use the Force element.” I perked up at this curious to what the Sect Leader thought. “It is intriguing. I have discussed it with other elders and we are split on this issue.”

“Still, if it works it would allow our sect to use a third element and a different set of resources. But to do it properly then you will need at least a rank 6 chamber and array constructed. You will also need lots of spirit stones. I know you plan to hunt beasts for level 3...

SL: Chapter 505 – Day 4,792 – Well Oiled Descent

We had gotten the Reverse Reflection Mirror. That had been a slight headache to capture, but it was doable. Now we were headed for the Infinite Block. We were going to cheat getting to it. If we went by land, then we would have to go through other level 4 and level 5 zones and terrain.

While doable it was a massive headache. That was why cutting across a void zone to our North was the best option. We could only do this, since it was a lake, not an ocean. There was a lot less turbulence....

SL: Chapter 504 – Day 4,789 (Part 5) – Layers

We were quickly accelerating. Airships didn’t care about velocity, but the risk of flying right off into the void was great enough that once we reached the optimal speed, there was no more acceleration. We were going fast enough to leave everything behind.

The trick was getting started, coming to a stop, and then clearing the surrounding area. The last one had been a headache for years. Constant watches and speculations. The trick was coming to a full stop near the ground, and then cl...

CC: Chapter 24 – New Status

The Sect Leader pulled out a piece of paper and began writing on it. “Do everything on this list. Then rest and no cultivation or Elder Healer Meihui will yell at me.” I had to hold back a grin that she would yell at the Sect Leader. “The Astral Soul Stabilizer will be ready in five days. Now leave that case, take the manual and claw with you in your spatial ring and get out my office disciple,” he said. I put the stuff away and I quickly took the piece of paper and quickly left his o...

SL: Chapter 503 – Day 4,789 (Part 4) – Team Plan

“Michelle, the Infinite Block is a bad idea. It is infinite,” he replied.

“And that is what makes it great. It multiplies itself. It doesn’t summon and put stress on energy. It can form a perfect wall. It is highly adaptable.” All those reasons were why it had been one of the worst fights against a level 6 boss monster.

“And it called the rest of the level 5 monsters, the Expanding Blocks. It was a nightmare to fight these things off. And you want to capture, the hell ...

SL: Chapter 502 – Day 4,789 (Part 3) – Remembering Hell

“I know level 6 zones are bad, but we can survive them at least,” I said with a forced grin.

“Survive, not win. We may be backed up by an insane number of stats compared to before. But the problem comes down to footing. The level 4 zones you can stand on. The level 5 zones, well only the shatteredlands is bad. At least the desert and the sandstorm terrains, aren’t run away horrible.”

Doctor Katz took a breath before continuing. “But level 6 zones, they are hell. First ...

CC: Chapter 23 – Three Years Traveling

I was used to the various types of carriages. Some had springs, some didn’t. I liked the ones with springs a lot more. Some had cushions, some didn’t. I liked the one with cushions. I had been working on aligning motes while I traveled. I wasn’t touching the secondary core or its channels. But there was nothing else for me to do in the long carriage rides.

Exploring the cities or the vistas might be interesting, but I wanted that Astral Soul Stabilizer as quickly as possible. Then...

SL: Chapter 501 – Day 4,789 (Part 2) – The Crystal Vortex

I made my way out of my cabin, through the narrow hallway. The soldier who was heading for the shower, quickly backed up. The hallways could fit two people tightly. I was in my armor, so pushing past each other wouldn’t be fun.

For a large airship, it was only larger than the previous airboats. I reached the kitchen. “Morning, what’s the meal?” I asked. We had two light meals a day. While we could go longer without eating, me more so than the others, it brought a sense of mental...

SL: Chapter 500 – Day 4,789 – Good Morning Systemic Lands!

“Gooood morning Systemic Lands!” The voice rang out loudly through the airship. I smiled at the regular wake up call. It was a small comfort out here exploring the hell zones. Every morning at dawn, the broadcast went out. A great way to keep track of the days and time.

“This is your host ‘X’ ‘L’ ‘R’ ‘8’.” He said each syllable clearly and separately. That had been one of the requests he had when he was brought on board as the public broadcaster for the Purgatory...
