Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1279 Parasite



Chapter 1279 Parasite

<A System in a way is simply a power source that can emulate a spirit or a soul>

<In the same way a spirit or soul is made up of Pure Energy, so is a system. Similarly, it can also transform its pure energy into other various forms of energy>

<However, what it cannot do is collect other forms of Energy to convert it into Pure Energy to heal itself. A system can only fix itself with pure energy.>

Ning thought for a moment and frowned a little. A System did sound a little too close to being a spirit with how it was made up of Pure Energy and even had some intelligence that grew from it.

He heard how it used the power in itself to do things that were otherwise impossible. ‘So that is how it creates energy where there is no energy to create,’ Alex thought. ‘It takes it from itself.’

However, he saw another issue. “Surely a System doesn’t have an unlimited power source,” Ning said. “Does it never just run out of energy and die?”

<The System can use Pure Energy to recover what energy it has lost, and fix itself.>

“Sure, but isn’t Pure Energy too hard to find?” Ning asked. “What sources of Pure Energy are there in this world?”

<There are only so few, but the system is already attached to the best one>

Ning’s eyes widened in shock. “A Soul,” he said. “But… how?”

<A System has to tear into a soul to make itself part of the soul. As a result, it is capable of siphoning off Pure Energy from the soul to heal itself.>

“And doing so makes a soul even worse than it ever was?” Ning asked.

<Yes.>

<A system made without much thought to its power is capable of tainting a newly formed soul so much that it simply fades away from existence without ever being able to go for the reincarnation cycle.>

<You could even call it a Parasite>

Ning frowned a little. “You told me long ago that my wife’s system isn’t as egregious,” he said. “Is that still the case?”

<Her system is practically useless to her at this point, so there is no more harm that can be done to her soul than what is already done>

“I see,” Ning said. “That’s good. What would I do if her soul was harmed and she was close to death?”

<Nothing.>

<there is nothing you could do to fix the situation>

“I see,” Ning said. That was a dangerous situation that he didn’t want Ely to be in. Thankfully, she was not in it, so there wasn’t much for her to do.

He tried to think of anything else he could ask the system about what he had learned, but it would take some time for him to process what he had just learned right now.

He laid back on his bed, simply letting his mind roam around. He asked a few smaller questions to the system to clarify some things he was confused about.

With Space made from energy, he wondered if he could use Pure Energy to increase the size of his own Inner World. However, the system told him that wasn’t possible.

You needed so much energy to create space, stable space, that it just wasn’t viable for the owner of the energy system. There was a means of increasing it, but the amount of energy it cost to increase the diameter of his inner space by even a fraction would cost him a lot.

His inner world has a diameter of around 280 Billion kilometers. Increasing that width by a single kilometer would mean adding a layer of space that spanned the spherical world which already had a volume of over 9.2 x 10^34 cubic kilometers.

That much space would cost him in quadrillions if not quintillions of Energy.

Adding another kilometer after that would cost him even more as the space had to surround even more of the volume. As such, adding space to his Inner world would be an exponential nightmare at best and downright impossible at worst.

With Energy responsible for time as well, Ning wondered if he could somehow manipulate it as well with his system. But from what he realized, he could only do it in a small area of space and that would cost him a lot of energy as well.

He was already doing that previously with his storage space where time didn’t flow. He also had the skills where he could perceive things at a faster rate and move to do the same, so he didn’t bother to ask for more.

Not when there was something equivalent on the horizon for him.

After some further thought, Ning gave up on trying to figure out anything else regarding Energy and Soul for today and went to sleep.

Sleep after the long day surprisingly lasted the whole night for him. He wasn’t tired or anything, not that he could ever be with the current body, yet he still slept the entire night.

He went downstairs to get some food to eat and went to go see how the two kids were doing and if they had something to eat.

He talked to Umbra for a few minutes before returning back to his room to spend his time there.

He was a little surprised that no one came to bother him at all. With what had happened with the Mayor, as well as Emma’s earnings, he had expected people to be knocking on his doors at all times.

And yet somehow, no one was there at all.

Ning wondered if the fear he showed the people yesterday was a bit too much, but then again he liked this peace and quiet.

He returned back to his room and sat on his bed. With Emma gone for a few more days, he had time to spend by himself.

And for some reason, he saw nothing better to do with that time than to improve all 8 cores of his at once.

So he got to it.
