“Upgrade type?” John asked. “What’s that?”
“You’ve seen different Siders, right?” O’Malley asked. “Every Sider has a different system depending on what they’ve gone through in their past life, but the way the system helps its host is different, too.
“My system is an upgrade type, so when I got to a certain immortality rank or when I increased my knowledge on certain subjects, the skill would upgrade to become more useful for me.
“I told you how I spread my manipulation technique all over the universe when I was an immortal. Well, that was the skill back then.
“When I got stronger, the skill upgraded to manipulate souls and I no longer needed other people being manipulated to increase my strength. It eventually upgraded to the skill I’ve shared with you after I transcended.
“I’ve seen other types of systems, like one that’ll strengthen a person quickly but couldn’t even help the host become an immortal. Another was the opposite, where it didn’t strengthen the host at all. But after they became an immortal, the system got its host to Rank 9 in less than a hundred years.
“The most unique one I’ve seen was one where the host could actually alter how the system worked, so the host made the system give the most ridiculous skills possible, but that host still failed to transcend in the end.”
John was deep in thought about his system after O’Malley finished. His system updated with skills, gave new skills after each update, and had many functions that even someone like O’Malley would never believe.
“Are there other types?” John asked.
Shrugging his shoulders again, O’Malley answered, “Who knows. Even though I’m eons old and have seen a lot, I haven’t met every Sider that has ever lived. I’m sure there are different types of systems I’ve never seen.”
After they finished talking, John placed O’Malley’s Information Sphere to his forehead. Twenty minutes later, John’s eyes were wide and his eyebrows were arched in surprise.
Looking at O’Malley, he asked. “Keket was a woman who disguised her voice?”
“You didn’t know either? I thought you figured it out.”
Shaking his head, John replied. “Never occurred to me. With the deep voice and the golden armour almost covering her entire body, I naturally assumed she was a he.”
“That should teach you to never assume.”
John nodded before creating threads to wrap around O’Malley.
Before he turned the Absorb option on, he walked towards O’Malley and whispered, “You were right about another thing. Beyond that barrier was Earth, and I managed to return there. Thought I’d let you know before the end.”
After speaking, John proceeded with killing O’Malley.
When it was all over, he checked his Share tab again and noticed that O’Malley’s skill was still there, even after his death.
Title: O’Malley’s Death
Chapter 39: Letter
As John was about to close the system, he noticed his Sin counter.
Sin: 38,250,520,862,755
I know O’Malley had over thirty trillion Sins, the rest must have been from the other Transcendents.
John then transferred Sins into Life Power.
Transfer: 38,250,520,862,755 Sin - 1:1 - 38,250,520,862,755 Life Power
He then checked his Chaos Power counter.
Chaos Pool: 2,985,899
With the ratio of Life Power to Chaos Power, that amount of Sins gave me 382,505 Chaos Power. The rest must be from killing those two hundred something Transcendents.
John saw Jamie exit the castle inside his Scan soon after transferring Sins.
When Jamie walked next to him, he took out a piece of parchment from a holding bag and handed it to John.
“O’Malley wrote a letter,” he explained, taking a seat not far from John.
John opened the parchment and read it.
If you’re reading this, then you managed to kill me. For that, I can’t thank you enough.
Now, I need to confess something… I didn’t tell you the whole story.
I’ve told you about the first Sider and how she killed the second Sider, but not what happened next.
She was the one who found that barrier and thought Earth might be on the other side, but no matter what she tried, she couldn’t get around or through the barrier. She came up with a plan. As a Demonic Sider, she could defy the universe like you, but what you might not know is that she was able to take all the Chaos Power from a Transcendent and use it however she pleases for a short time.
Her plan was to suck up all the Chaos Power from the Transcendents and use all that power to crack the barrier open.
That would leave us Transcendents alive but worse than a waste like Jamie. It would destroy us in every way, forcing us to be unable to absorb elements again while staying alive.
We would be living corpses that could feel pain, suffocation, and hopelessness until the end of time. That outcome was worse than any kind of hell you could think of, so we did everything to stop her.
She let it slip that she needed about a thousand Transcendents’ powers to be able to break that barrier, so we destroyed all knowledge about how to transcend in this universe, stopping more Transcendents from being born.
We started patrolling the universe and killed anyone who reached the Silver Grade Life Power in case they managed to transcend in the future.
However, we knew that we might need help to stop her in the future, so we left one place where immortals could transcend properly and kept the location a secret.
To make sure the place wasn’t discovered, we killed every living thing on the planet and destroyed all teleport runes and evidence of its existence.
We didn’t know at the time, but that decision was the wisest thing we had ever done because when we decided that we wanted to die, we realised we didn’t cut off all possibilities back then.
So, we agreed that when one of us found a Demonic Sider that could transcend, we would show the location to them when they were ready to transcend.
When the first Sider caught on to what we had
