Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

-----

The projection changed in that moment, suddenly showing a different scene. The lustrous interior of the building was now set ablaze.

Sunstones constantly grew all across the interior, as the groans of humans could be heard everywhere, and mechanical beings resembling robots trying to recover as many silver-colored tablets from other rooms as they could.

The humans that served them were burning and slowly turning into Sunstone, these flames were like a contagious disease of some sort…

Right there, it could be seen something slowly looming, approaching, as the echoing voices of hundreds of people unified together into an aberrant groan made the entire building tremble.

"Become… Gods… We shall… become Gods… And… kill… KILL! KILL THE GODS! KILL THEM! BECOME GODS AND KILL THE GODS!"

The entity kept roaring; a corrupted Divine Aura kept shaking the entire building. Several Gods could be seen running towards all directions, panicking.

"How did this even happened, Aeolus, what have you done?!"

Fiere rushed near Eolus while flying with her flames, reprimanding the god.

"I don't know! Apollo somehow started acting strange, even though it was such an obedient specimen…!"

Aeolus seemed genuinely afraid at this point.

"He corrupted the data of the computers using divinity and then set himself free from his shackles, and quickly started spreading these flames-"

"ARRRGGH… HELP!"

A lesser God without a name suddenly started agonizing as the flames caught up to him. His divine body slowly started crystalizing!

"HELP ME! LORD AEOLUS! LADY FIERE!"

As the God screamed in agony, the two gods paid no mind to him.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . Fir(e).nᴇt

"It doesn't matter if a few die, right? We can clone more later anyways…" Aeolus sighed.

"Lesser Gods are disposable, don't pay any mind to them." Fiere nodded.

The Lesser Gods were caught one after another by the flames, as "Apollo" loomed closer and closer…

Giant crystal tentacles pierced their bodies, absorbing them and gaining even more power.

"GRAAAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! DIE! GODS! DIE! DIE! DIE!"

The Monster, fueled by the hatred of its souls, continued tearing apart the Lesser Gods into shreds and devoured their bodies one after another, growing tremendously large.

RUMBLE!

CRAAASH!

The ceiling of the building quickly opened and broke apart, as the monstrous giant made of crystals roared, releasing Sunstones and flames everywhere…

"Aeolus, you better take responsibility for the MESS you've made!" Fiere roared.

"Okay, okay! I'll do it, goddamn it!" Aeolus groaned.

Both sounded like idiots, even in such a situation, they were still taking things not as seriously as they should…

"KILL THE GODS! BECOME THE GODS! KILL THE GODS! BECOME THE GODS!"

The monster kept growing larger and larger, opening gigantic maws and gathering Divine Energy, about to fire a massive beam against the two!

"DIE!!!"

RUMBLE!

Aeolus and Fiere quickly seemed to have had enough, their bodies overflowing with Divine Power and clashing against the beam.

Their power quickly took the shape of an enormous blazing sword, slashing through the beam and then piercing "Apollo", cutting through it.

SLAAASH!

The monster gave an agonizing scream, before exploding into pieces, a large chunk of it left behind inside the ruins, while the rest flew away towards all directions.

BOOOMMM!!!

The two gods glanced down at what they had done, sighing…

Their eyes were filled with disappointment, but they seemed just as cold and calculative as before.

The recording ended there, as the whole projection came undone.

Then, a few messages appeared.

[Last Recorded Footage has been displayed.]

[Rt534 555%%2 Thas##"#4///]

[Please…]

[End…]

[This.]

The messages faded away, as the gate slightly opened, as if waiting for us to open it and enter the last room of the dungeon.

I do remember that Aeolus mentioned "Apollo" having hacked into the computer? Could those words have come from them?

"That was… crazy. It felt like I was living what was happening…" Luck gasped for air, kneeling on the floor. "I am exhausted…"

"To think the technology of the Gods can do such things…" My father wondered.

"But we mostly know what happened." Shade sighed. "Apparently, they had to deal with the monster they created. Their approach to life was so cold and feeble, these Gods…"

"It's infuriating to see what happened…" Nepheline nodded. "Even more after we learned they were all humans innocent people that suffered horrendously… I wish they would have died by Apollo's hand."

"Yeah, I was rooting for him." Uncle Arafunn nodded. "Ugh, this has given me a rather bitter aftertaste… But now that Apollo was defeated, then what is this presence beyond the door?"

"They didn't manage to kill it…" My mother said. "What awaits us is most likely what remains of "Apollo"… Not as strong as before, but probably still powerful, and in constant agony."

"What do we do now?" Lara wondered. "Do we go inside or…"

"We have to…" My mother clenched her fists. "If we don't do this now, then it will continue suffering, and it might eventually grow strong enough that it will be able toe scape the ruins and… It could cause a lot of destruction on this beautiful land."

"We have to put those souls to rest…" Shade said.

"Yeah!" Aquarina nodded. "Right, Sylphy?"

"I was already going to enter anyways." I nodded. "Lara, if you don't feel like fighting it…"

"No, I'll go." Lara stepped forwards. "I was a bit afraid… Those voices, they keep ringing from time to time. You could hear them too, right Sylphy?"

"Sometimes…" I nodded. "You too?"

"Yeah… But now I understand that it's a cry for help." Lara sighed. "I want to help them; the Spirits want too."

"Then there's little else to do than to go inside and end this." My mother touched the silver-colored door with my father.

The two pushed the gates open, revealing an enormous hall covered on Sunstones of all colors…

At the end of the hall, covered on shadows, as the destroyed ceiling was covered on Sunstone too, there was something.

A mass of crystals, with countless legs and claws, it had human-like heads, with their eyes open, shining bright crimson.

It looked as if many dismembered bodies were stitched together…

It was in silence, hiding in the darkness, until we stepped in.
