Chapter 416 Nobody Will Get Away With It

To his surprise, one day he would actually receive a signal from outer space.

Before he could even invite them over, they had already sent an envoy.

It's the system.

Grandpa Xiao would never forget that night. After he had fallen asleep, a mechanical voice from the system rang in his ears, saying that a program from another planet would be carrying out a mission on this planet.

Old Master Xiao asked, "What mission are you carrying out?"

The system replied, "Embrace humanity's destiny: rise from the ashes of destruction, progress through suffering. Thank you for letting us discover this beautiful planet, but sadly, it will soon cease to be beautiful."

When Grandpa Xiao learned that the system came from an alien civilization, he quickly expressed his determination: "I am willing to help you rule the world, as long as you grant me immortality, as long as I can live forever."

The system scoffed, "The days ahead are too hopeless. People like you will only make this world more hopeless."

After that, the system's voice returned to silence, and no matter how much Old Master Xiao shouted or begged, it never sounded again.

It wasn't until noon the next day, when the apocalypse arrived and the whole world was in chaos, that he understood what the system meant by despair.

Next came various measures to deal with the apocalypse. When he heard that a girl named Meng Qingyue had extraordinary abilities, he immediately thought of the system.

Afterwards, he tried every means to deal with Meng Qingyue and seize her, but he failed in his previous life.

He had no choice but to rely on the power of a time-manipulator to return to a point in time before the apocalypse and try every possible means to bind himself to the system.

But in this life, the system still did not choose him.

Old Master Xiao was so enraged that this scene unfolded.

If the system doesn't choose him, then he'll imprison the system, and nobody will have an easy time.

In that dark, void-like place, Meng Qingyue's expression faltered for a moment. "It's almost time. If I'm not mistaken, you should be in that old man's hands right now, and your situation should be quite passive."

My advice is that the moment you wake up, use your spatial abilities to leave immediately. Let the old man and the system dog fight it out.

The Black Cube contains too much energy. If the system absorbs this energy and recovers, it will be even more difficult to deal with. You alone are no match for it.

"Let the old man and the system fight first, then you can make your move when the opportunity arises. That's the best approach."

Meng Shiwan asked, "How difficult is the system to deal with?"

For Meng Shiwan, the system had always been a complete idiot; she had no idea what the system's specific capabilities were.

Meng Qingyue sighed, "To put it simply, in my plan to end the apocalypse, my team has more than a dozen members, and I will train them to level eight or nine before the final battle."

If, in the end, even this lineup fails to defeat the system and is forced to activate the backup plan, then it means the system's strength is greater than I imagined.

When dealing with the system, you can't rely on individual heroism; you need to gather all available resources and go all out for a chance of victory.

"That would be a huge problem," Meng Shiwan muttered to herself.

More than a dozen level eight and nine ability users, including many powerful special ability users, ultimately failed to defeat the system.

How powerful is the system exactly?

Meng Qingyue continued, "What I need to deal with is the system at its peak. It has energy, can freely travel to higher dimensions, and is difficult to detect and attack."

However, the system you're dealing with is somewhat damaged, and its strength is weakened by being imprisoned by the old man of the Xiao family, making it easier to deal with.

However, you still cannot let your guard down. The system has power, an arsenal, and advanced technological capabilities. Don't go it alone; plan carefully, gather manpower, and your chances of victory will be much higher.

You said you were stronger than me, that you could definitely end all of this.

Meng Shiwan glanced at her and said, "You don't need to tell me. Go back and enjoy your last moments."

Meng Qingyue felt a little reluctant to part. "Sister, let's say goodbye properly. This may be the last time we see each other."

Meng Shiwan shrugged. "I'm not interested. You'll be able to live for a short time after you die and travel back in time, and then die again. There's no need to be so pessimistic."

Meng Qingyue was on the verge of tears. "Now it's even more pessimistic, isn't it?"

Meng Qingyue wanted to say something more, but thinking that she hadn't been very good to Meng Shiwan in the past and had even caused her death, she really had nothing to reminisce about.

She left only one sentence: "Goodbye."

Meng Shiwan nodded, "I won't see you."

The two figures gradually disappeared.

Meng Shiwan regained consciousness and felt as if she were lying on a hard bed, surrounded by noisy sounds.

She didn't open her eyes, nor did she listen to Meng Qingyue's advice to use her spatial abilities to escape. She continued to maintain her original form, trying to breathe as steadily as possible, wanting to listen to the sounds around her.

Meng Shiwan tried to call out to the system in her mind, but no matter how she called, the system would no longer answer her.

Meng Shiwan felt a little melancholy. Over the past year, the Silly System had helped her a lot, and now she had to find a way to kill this idiot.

At that moment, not far from her, the eyes of the standing robot suddenly shot out blue light.

It seemed a little confused, moving its metallic body and emitting a muffled mechanical voice, "What happened? Wasn't I fighting Meng Qingyue? No, there's an extra memory in my program. It seems I've re-bound to a host and am reliving the apocalypse. It's the first year of the apocalypse now, and the one lying on the operating table is my new host?"

Clearly, the events of the past year or so have created a gap in its timeline, and it is now reorganizing its timeline.

After the combination, the system activated its metal body, "I still underestimated Meng Qingyue. She actually restarted time, sealed my memory program, and let time start over."

At this moment, Old Master Xiao pushed his wheelchair in himself. He laughed heartily and said excitedly in a hoarse voice, "System, we meet again. Didn't expect we would meet in this way, did you? You used to be so high and mighty in front of me. Now that you're in my hands, let's see how arrogant you are now."

The system's blue eyes looked at Old Master Xiao, "So it's you, old man. Still not giving up? You want me to bind with you so you can achieve immortality? But I look down on people like you."

From the moment you sent coordinates into space, turning this world into the hell it is now, all for the sake of living a few more years, I already looked down on you. You were too old, too repulsive; I didn't want a host like you.

Lying on the operating table, Meng Shiwan seemed to have heard some incredible news.

The reason why extraterrestrial civilizations discovered this planet was because Grandpa Xiao sent coordinates into space, which attracted the system and led to the apocalypse.

Is the reason that he himself wants to live longer?

That damned bastard deserves to die.

If it weren't for that old geezer, the world might not be in this terrible state now.

Old Master Xiao sneered, "Isn't it you who turned this world into a hell? You invader, only the two of us are truly compatible. I'm willing to serve you. What's wrong with just wanting to live a little longer?"

Look at the two hosts you chose, neither of them want you anymore. In the end, didn't I have to take you back?

This is a shell I specially created for you. Your program is trapped inside and can't get out. You have no choice but to cooperate with me now, whether you want to or not. Don't even think about hiding in a higher dimension anymore. I've caught you. You have to listen to me.

The system's voice was devoid of emotion, "Imprison me? You've lived two lifetimes and all you've come up with is this thing? So what if you imprison my program? My abilities are still there. With the civilization of your world, what can you do to me?"

"Greedy humans, you disgust me more and more."

Meng Shiwan watched as the two of them started arguing, and she realized that this system, which could curse so fluently, was not the clueless, ignorant person she knew at all.

Just as Meng Qingyue said, the system did indeed absorb the energy from the black cube's body, restored some programs, and remembered more things.

It is the system, the system that has thrown this world into chaos, the system that knows the truth of everything.

Meng Shiwan had no interest in their argument, and to avoid being caught in the crossfire, she quietly used her spatial abilities to escape.

The system is currently arguing heatedly with Grandpa Xiao, and even though it has discovered that she has run away, it doesn't have time to pay attention to her right now.
