Seized by the System

High above the sky, the cold winds roared, the clouds drifted erratically, and a giant bear in the distance was furiously charging over.

Fang Ning already entered the System Space. He walked into Anderson’s prison officer’s office and instructed them to turn on the computer for him to watch the broadcast for the battle happening outside.

This giant bear was suspected to be an Inland-sea Level. As for how the System planned on dealing with it, Fang Ning honestly had no idea.

Right now, it was already in battle mode. He always knew when to be tactful, and he knew to never bother the study god’s battles at times like these.

However, judging from the System’s action just now, it should be fine, right?

Carrying that concern with him, Fang Ning watched the battle together with Anderson.

He asked Anderson, “Andy, in your opinion, how will the Venerable Dragon God deal with this battle?”

Anderson frowned and thought for a moment, and said somewhat hesitatingly, “This Spirit Bear’s strength has increased quite a lot since the last time we saw it.

“If its strength was at the peak of Lake-level the previous time and it was just a faction leader of the Upper Realm, then its strength now should have reached Inland-sea level. Although it’s not yet stable, it can be considered to be a hegemon.

“The Venerable Dragon God must prioritize safety and test out its current power as well as the cards in its hands.”

Fang Ning nodded. He knew all these from the information the Dragon Carp gave him.

The Upper Realm was vast, and the power gaps were huge.

A Pond-level powerhouse on Earth could be considered a master from a normal country. When they reached Lake-level, they could become the head of state. As for Inland-sea masters, they would have the position of a hegemon.

Anderson’s tone clearly showed some worry for the Venerable Dragon God. After all, although the difference in power between a Lake-level and an Inland-sea Level was far less than the difference in power between a Pond-level and a Lake-level, the difference in the total amount was still great.

How would Sir System deal with an enemy whose strength exceeded its own?

Earlier, the System listened to his suggestion when fighting against the fearsome snake demon and used the True Bodhi Tactics. It did not have that much experience points to spend any more.

Its biggest trump card was now gone. The battle study god could no longer cheat and had to rely on its own abilities now.

It could no longer cheat. The slacker Fang Ning was quite a little worried about this. However, he was only worried, he had not reached the level of fear yet.

Besides, if it really could not win, the Master would immediately turn away. Judging from the speed that bear was running at earlier, it would not be able to catch up to them even if it pushed itself to the brink of exhaustion.

…

The upcoming battle in the desert sky quickly attracted the attention of many powerhouses.

At this time, there were many powerhouses who were still keeping order below.

Needless to say, the Sky Eagle could see the battle about to take place in the sky. Although it could sense the giant bear’s strength, it still flapped its wings upwards without any hesitation.

For one, Vigilante A was related to its path of godhood’s foundation.

Secondly, it was an eagle that greatly treasured friendship.

Otherwise, in the Land of Heritage, even if their interests were the same, it would not be possible to gather all the great tribes of the Land of Heritage so quickly. After all, it would take a lot of effort to persuade others.

Vigilante A’s allies all rushed to the battlefield in succession.

As for his adversaries, who had been watching the desert area because of the scale of the sacrifice and the large scene of summoning the Dragon God, they also discovered the coming of this battle.

However, they obviously could not appear on the battlefield. They would only watch the battle remotely through other means.

It was no secret that that Vigilante A had Heaven’s Eye and could differentiate good from evil.

It was best not to appear before him if there was nothing wrong. Once you appeared before him, there would be something wrong.

There was one fella who regularly went against Vigilante A, but that was different.

It could rise up to the challenge and appear near the battlefield the instant it learned of the news.

This individual was naturally none other than the great Black Cat Tom.

At this moment, it was outside the battlefield, among gray clouds only dozens of kilometers away.

In terms of courage, it was stronger than most Bosses.

Not only that, it also brought along its faithful servant, Old Man Huang Rui.

In the distance, one man and one bear were about to erupt into fierce conflict. In this gray cloud, one man and one cat were moving bricks from the interspatial equipment and preparing to work…

“The Altar of Death has been modularized after my most recent meticulous study. We’ll be able to set this thing up in just three minutes. I only hope that that stupid bear is stronger and give us more time instead of being beat instantly like before.”

The Black Cat pulled out a pile of prefabricated building components as it spoke.

Stone steps, stone pillars, murals, and runes… and most importantly, the statue of the wolf-man. It handed them all to Old Huang.

Old Huang remained silent. He took the materials and began to nervously busy himself.

Ever since it had an Altar of Death stolen by Vigilante A, the Black Cat Tom came up with this idea.

The current Altar of Death was made up of modules and was easy to build and dismantle.

If Vigilante A came here again, it could remove the most important portion away quickly.

Some people would definitely ask, ‘Wouldn’t it be more convenient to just directly put the intact Altar of Death into the interspatial equipment and then bring it out afterward?’

When Vigilante A stole the altar, that was what they did.

Tom expressed, ‘The Death that only knew how to act smug would not allow Sir Tom to do something like that.’

It said something like only a hand-built altar can truly show the sincerity of the sacrifice, and only then would it be able to communicate with him…

Let all those sincerity just go to hell…

While selling hard labor, the Black Cat Tom thought angrily, ‘Just wait till Sir Tom becomes Death. First, I’ll demolish that stupid rule. Then, I’ll vigorously promote the portability and miniaturization of the Altar, which not only will greatly improve the efficiency of collection, it’ll make sure that it’ll never be easily stolen by a certain thief ever again.’

After a while, with the efforts of a man and a cat, a pitch black Altar of Death very quickly exposed its embryonic form from the grey clouds.

“Oh, that giant bear seems to be very powerful this time.” Tom worked while watching the movements on the battlefield.

It very quickly came to a realization. Vigilante A actually could not break the defenses of this giant bear!

In the battlefield just a few dozen kilometers away, Vigilante A quickly transformed into the Azure Dragon.

The thousand meters long Azure Dragon and a few hundred meters long giant bear launched a fierce battle. All their blows were heavy hitting.

The giant bear’s entire body was sparkling with a layer of bright silver armor.

Every time the Azure Dragon’s fierce claws struck down, it only sent ripples that caused numerous shockwaves. The shockwaves spread all around and shook the skies, sounding like thunder, but were unable to harm the giant bear at all.

This time, the Azure Dragon did not transform into a sword to attack.

Tom knew that move was extremely aggressive and powerful. It had not seen anything that could compare with it, but its cooldown time was also relatively long.

The process earlier of sacrificing and summoning the Dragon God was watched by the entire world. It was also lying in front of its computer now and watching the live broadcast.

Vigilante A had just used a skill ten hours ago to kill that snakehead, so it was no longer available now.

Tom regretted then that he did not manage to be there. It was very clear on just how strong that snakehead was. After all, they had faced each other before.

The System and Death were different. As long as the process of death occurred, no matter if the soul survived or not, or was captured into the System Space, the Altar of Death would acquire the power of death.

That was the strength of the Path of Death.

So now that Vigilante A appeared again over the desert and was facing off with the Spirit Bear, the Black Cat accurately grasped the opportunity and no longer hesitated to shuttle the little brother from the Space.

Beside it, Old Man Huang Rui watched with shining eyes. If Vigilante A died here, he no longer had to be worried that one day, he would get caught into that ‘Draconic Penitentiary’.

After all, he personally calculated each other twice. Although he failed both times, he delivered straight to their doorsteps.

However, he did not know whether Vigilante A would show mercy to a delivery man. He probably wouldn’t.

He was getting on in age and never had any ambitions in the first place. He only wanted to live a long life with Black Cat Tom.

In order to meet the latent needs of China, he did not contaminate any human lives. When he went against Vigilante A the last time, he was not worried about anything.

However, it was different now. He was with Master Tom now, and they committed several acts against Vigilante A. Under these circumstances, he naturally had to be concerned.

Either Vigilante A died here, or he would grow stronger and learn skills from Tom.

Black Cat Tom. It was never afraid that it would get captured by Vigilante A.

Right now, it was just tens of kilometers away from him, swaggering while furnishing the altar, brazenly making use of the other party.

In this entire world, who else could do something like that?

The waves in Old Man Huang Rui’s heart rose up and down.

If Vigilante A died, he would try not to make any ideas for Master Tom. On the contrary, he would get those skills from that cat instead…

When he subconsciously turned his head, he did not notice that the black presence on his body was faintly stirring again.

The Black Cat Tom was currently focusing all its attention on Vigilante A’s movements. It had not realized that its faithful servant was no longer faithful anymore.

It only muttered to itself, “This isn’t good. Vigilante A really can’t beat a mere white bear? How will Sir Tom collect the power of death then? I need to think of a way.”

At this moment, Old Man Huang Rui took the opportunity to say, “In that case, why don’t we help that giant bear kill Vigilante A and get rid of this thorn by our side?”

Hearing this, Tom instantly looked weirdly at his faithful servant, its cat eyes full of suspicion.

It couldn’t be bothered to explain why.

It only shook its head and said, “I never thought that Demonic Energy could actually cause a person to become stupid. The War Demon Lei Tian must have been dragged down by Demonic Energy, otherwise, it wouldn’t die so quickly.

“You were infected by Demonic Energy, and you’ve become stupid as well. Looks like I really can’t delay this any longer. I have to find a way to treat you quickly. If you really become stupid, how will you make Sir Tom comfortable… no, I meant, how would you give Sir Tom advice and suggestions?”

Old Man Huang Rui felt a sudden shudder, and his mind sobered up.

How could he have asked such a stupid question?

If Vigilante A died, and it was only the Spirit Bear left, what use would it be to the Black Cat Tom?

The Spirit Bear was clearly the type to be too lazy to go out. It would not come out and fight for justice and create death. It also had the habit of hibernating and sleeping for an entire winter…

As for Vigilante A, death accompanied him 24/7. It was clear in a single look which one was more useful to Black Cat Tom.

He no longer dared to say anything more, and just quietly stood to the side.

After the Black Cat Tom casually finished speaking, its attention returned to the battlefield.

At this moment, the giant white bear patted its chest with its paws and charged towards the Azure Dragon that was flying around in provocation.

“Haha, where did that sword of yours go? Hurry and call it out. My bearskin armor has evolved quite a lot. This time, that sword won’t be able to pierce through it anymore.”

The Azure Dragon expressionlessly stared at the giant bear and clawed it once again.

The white bear did not even bother to evade. The white light lingering all over its body deflected the dragon claw with a startling ‘bang’.

No matter if it was the Dragon God’s tail slap or its dragon claw thumping, it had no effect on the bear.

As expected, an Inland-Sea level powerhouse was not just for show.

Vigilante A, who was the strongest in the world, currently looked like he was just a spear challenging a tank. He looked particularly powerless.

Furthermore, to the crowd of onlookers, they could not help but think that there was more to the giant bear’s power.

An Inland-Sea level powerhouse should have a greater power. It might be deliberately toying with Vigilante A, just like how a cat would play with a mouse. Its true ability would only be revealed when it went in for the kill.
