Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 631 Choosing a Color

　　”Woah!” Drake heard Genesis’s explanations and couldn’t help but show amazement at it all.

If he could get the system, he wouldn’t have to ever worry about running out of energy.

”I won’t have to kill people just so I can live either,” he said to himself softly.

”Hmph, I don’t need that,” Derel said to his side. 

Nova looked at it with a confused look. Would that even help her? 

Issi on the other hand looked at the system intently as he clutched his own sword. With it, he could become stronger. Stronger, at least, than he was when his brother gave up his life to contain the tsunami into his sword.

If he had the system at that time, he could have stopped the tsunami maybe, and protected everyone who died from it.

Maybe, he would get to take revenge against the demons that caused the tsunami and ran away into their portals.

The various other people in the group had similar thoughts. 

The Lion’s expression was unreadable, but it seemed to want the system. The man’s expression was solemn, but one could see that he wanted it.

The elf looked agitated, perhaps remembering the demons that killed her people.

The hooded Bellatrix had a sinister look on her face, perhaps thinking that she could summon a greater monster than the demon she had summoned to kill everyone.

Finally, Saphandra had a curious look on her face. She looked to her shoulders from time to time, checking on little blue, possibly thinking how this would help her.

Ning on the other hand was more scared than anything.

’Did he really base the system on the Energy system?’ he wondered. 

Since everything in the system had to do with energy, it begged to question if he did use the energy system as its basis or not.

If he did, did he find another host to use for his experiment? Or was the information about the energy system readily available?

Whatever it was, Ning was sure that it broke many of the laws of the universe. Ning couldn’t help but wonder if Genesis himself was already breaking many of the laws.

”Alright, since the explanation of the system is done, let us begin the next round,” Genesis said and suddenly something appeared in front of every one of them.

Ning was pulled out of his trance as a screen appeared in front of his eyes with 5 different squares of different colors in it.

Yellow, Blue, Red, Green, and Purple.

He was confused for a second before he saw the words at the top of the screen.

CHOOSE A COLOR

’Why?’ Ning wondered and randomly pressed on the red color. However, before he could touch it, it grayed out.

”Huh?” he made a sound.

”Hey! I was trying to get the red one,” Drake said from the side. “Why did you take it Derel?” 

”Why not?” Derel said as she pointed to her bright red hair and dress. “If I don’t choose red, who will?” 

Ning looked back at his screen and saw that the grayed-out red square had Derel’s face on it.

”Oh, so it’s a choice between the group,” Ning said out loud.

”Huh?” Issi asked.

”It’s a choice between us 5. We are to choose the 5 different colors. You guys can each choose one,” Ning said.

”Oh,” Issi said as he looked at his screen. “If that is the case then I hope you guys won’t mind if I take blue.”

”Take, take,” Drake said. “I would be offended if you didn’t.”𝑜𝓋𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t

Ning looked at his own screen and wondered if he liked any of these colors. He soon found he didn’t terribly want either one, so he was fine with whatever remained.

”Drake, you can choose one,” Ning said, seeing that no one was choosing any.

”Sure,” Drake said and looked at the 3 remaining colors. 

”I don’t eat plants so green is out of the question,” he mumbled to himself. “As for purple, that is said to be the color of royalties and rulers.”

”I don’t want to be either of that anymore,” he said and finally tapped on the remaining color.

”Yellow it is,” he said.

”Your turn now,” Ning said to Nova.

Nova looked at the two remaining colors and clicked on the green without hesitation.

”Well, I guess I’m left with purple then,” Ning said and tapped on the last remaining color.

Once all 5 of their faces appeared on the screen, the screen vanished. 

Genesis appeared a few seconds later and spoke up.

”Since you have chosen your color, the competition will begin now,” he said and put forth his arm.

Suddenly, crowns emerged from the heads of each of them. It still had the same gems that they received in the 2nd competition. Only, now the gems were colored in the same color as the one that they had just chosen.

Suddenly, the gems escaped from their crowns and flew into the air. However, they didn’t merge with each other and instead met with the other 5 flying gems of the 5 different colors from the opposite team.

Finally, the respective colored gems mixed together to form a more saturated version of themselves. 

Then, the 5 saturated gems hung in the air, beneath which a stage appeared, big enough for any one of them to fight in.

Ning quickly understood what was happening.

”The next round will reduce the 10 to 5. It will be a 1-on-1 against the person who chose the same color as you from the other group,” Genesis said.

”Whoever wins the battle between the two will get the gem that hangs in the air.”

”When the fight for all 5 gems is over, the competition will end as well,” he said.

Every single one of the 10 remaining people couldn’t help but be shocked as to just how hard the next round was going to be.

Ning couldn’t help but look to the other side, wondering who he would have to fight. He could at least name one that he hoped he didn’t have to fight against.
