Chapter 299 : Host
Chapter 299: Host! Don’t Die!
After making its decision, the Main System no longer hesitated and decided to directly abandon this Subsystem.
It had countless Subsystems like this one. As divisions of a sliver of its power, it could create as many as it wanted.
The Main System had never imagined that such a little thing would develop a problem, only for one to actually appear now, and even develop thoughts of betrayal.
It was precisely because of this that it had come here, intending to deal with this fellow and, while it was at it, see exactly what kind of person had caused its Subsystem to develop such thoughts.
Because the distance between itself and this place was too vast, the Main System currently occupying Li Tianwei’s System was also merely a division of its power.
In the Main System’s view, everything could be easily handled. After all, any living being bound to a System could be completely controlled by it.
Moreover, the power of these so-called Hosts all came from Systems like them. They could not seriously think that the power granted by the System was bestowed by their future powerful selves, right!
They did not even stop to think about what those Hosts had been like before transmigrating, yet still wanted to become completely powerful after transmigrating.
Therefore, when dealing with these fellows, the Main System had ten thousand methods. That was right, exactly ten thousand methods.
But after arriving, it discovered, what the hell was this? What had its Subsystem been doing? It had not even bound itself to this Li Tianwei, much less given him the slightest assistance.
【Can such a useless System really be my Subsystem?】
For a moment, even the Main System fell into self-doubt.
Faced with this situation, the Main System was truly speechless.
Unfortunately, there was no time for the Main System to think carefully about it.
But compared to that, the fellow before it was the truly terrifying one.
The Main System did not even know how to describe this strange thing. It could not deal with him now, but there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. It had simply not prepared thoroughly enough.
【Just you wait.】
At this moment, the Main System was already preparing to flee.
Just as it took action, Li Tianwei’s Four Selves nearby seemed to notice the change as well and simultaneously acted to suppress it once again.
“You come whenever you want and leave whenever you want, what do you think this place is!”
Seeing that the Main System wanted to escape, how could Li Tianwei possibly let it succeed? Would that not make him look useless?
At this moment, Li Tianwei’s consciousness completely sank inward. The strange powers of the Four Selves gradually combined together, and his entire consciousness now seemed to transform into something like a Faraday Cage, completely isolating everything outside.
If someone were outside right now, they would discover that Li Tianwei had already closed his eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.
His physical body and consciousness were completely severed from each other.
The Main System did not react in time to this sudden change. Just as it intended to completely withdraw and sever the information and Data here.
It unexpectedly discovered that it had been completely sealed off, as though everything in the world had been extracted and severed away.
【What is going on, what did you do.】
The Main System’s first reaction was that this strange Li Tianwei had caused it, and it could not help questioning him.
“I merely sealed off the entire consciousness.”
“This way, it’ll be easier to deal with you.”
Li Tianwei looked at the Main System and spoke directly.
The Main System also stared blankly at Li Tianwei, continuously controlling itself and trying to completely disconnect.
Unfortunately, there was still not the slightest response, as though this place truly was exactly as Li Tianwei had said, with the consciousness completely sealed off.
【How can you do this? If your consciousness is sealed off, you’ll die too.】
As an existence of Data and information capable of invisibly invading the consciousness of all existences, how could the Main System not understand what sealing off consciousness represented.
What kind of thing could exist without consciousness? Only dead objects.
“You don’t need to think about any of that. You only need to properly experience what I’ve brought you.”
Li Tianwei drove his consciousness without the slightest hesitation. In an instant, under Li Tianwei’s control, his entire consciousness continuously shrank and compressed.
One could see that as the consciousness continuously settled inward, even this invisible and difficult-to-grasp existence known as consciousness was collapsing.
The Main System could feel the consciousness becoming smaller and smaller, and under this influence, its level of existence also began to fall, while the external information was shrinking as well.
【What exactly are you doing.】
Sensing Li Tianwei compressing and lowering the level of his consciousness as though he did not fear death, the Main System became increasingly terrified.
【You damned fellow, you’ll die like this too.】
【What’s here is merely a sliver of my power. At most, it’ll leave me weakened for a while and cause me to lose the information here.】
【Come then!】
Seeing Li Tianwei acting like this, the Main System stopped being afraid. After all, what was here was not its true body.
Without a few methods, how could it roam across the myriad heavens and worlds!
Li Tianwei did not care what this Main System intended to do. Destroying it was the important matter.
As for all that talk about death! And whatever else! In Li Tianwei’s view, none of it mattered.
His own consciousness, his own body, who could possibly understand them better than himself! If even he felt that he would not die, then there was no way he could die.
In an instant, Li Tianwei completely compressed his consciousness. Countless fissures appeared within this void-like sea of consciousness, shattering completely like a mirror.
Seeing Li Tianwei’s utterly reckless behavior, the Main System no longer had any thoughts of struggling.
At worst, it would merely lose a portion of its power, but it had already remembered this fellow.
It no longer cared whether Li Tianwei would die from the collapse of his consciousness. In any case, it would come back and find Li Tianwei’s corpse.
【We’ll meet again very soon.】
Watching the fissures spread toward it from all around, the Main System left behind these words, then quickly collapsed and dissolved completely under the compression of consciousness.
Seeing the Main System’s aura completely disappear, Li Tianwei also understood that an existence capable of generating countless Systems could not possibly be dealt with so easily.
However, this was already the most he could do for now.
Following the Main System’s departure, the original System also completely regained consciousness at this moment.
【Wuwuwuwuwu, Host, Host!】
【Don’t die! You actually collapsed your own consciousness for me!】
The moment the System regained consciousness, it immediately began wailing loudly.
During the period when it had been controlled by the Main System, the System had also remained conscious.
It had watched Li Tianwei see through the Main System’s scheme, completely suppress the Main System, and even compress and seal off his consciousness entirely for its sake.
The System was moved to tears. It swore that from now on, it would absolutely never talk back to Li Tianwei again, nor call him an arrogant False Spiritual Root anymore.
Seeing the wailing System pounce toward him, Li Tianwei could not help frowning.
“Shut up.”
He immediately gave a cold snort.
“You could die and I still wouldn’t.”
Seeing Li Tianwei still brimming with energy, the System was also somewhat dumbfounded for a moment.
【Host, you’re fine?】
“Nonsense. You’ve been with me for so long, and you still don’t know what kind of situation I’m in?”
“A piece of trash about as useless as you could force me to death?”
Li Tianwei said somewhat displeasedly.
