I Hate Systems

Compass Carburettor went through the island, using his Origin Art of Snag to fly around like a certain favourite neighbourhood wall-crawler, using his Origin Art of Gloss Over from time to time to prevent the Dolbas from detecting him.

He continued to look through the fusion materials on the backs of the Dolbas, helping the cultivators from time to time by killing the Dolba they were aiming for. He also left some mental inputs in them to help better the design of their Martial Spirit.

After all, Earth Martial Spirits were element based, lacking any forms. So once they fused with a material, they can assume a physical shape, which was typically made into weapons to wield them better.

Eventually, Compass Carburettor slowly made his way towards the core of the island, stopping as he hid within a crevice, gazing at the Dolba that was seated within a cave. It too was at the Martial Providence Stage.

But, what was different about it was the fact that it was guarding a newborn Dolba, one that had yet to consume any material.

Compass Carburettor probed for a moment, sighing in relief when the baby was within range from his hiding position.

Origin Art—Mind Transfer!

He extracted all of the baby's mind, noticing a similar creature form within the Mind Frog's stomach. 'This would be of tremendous use in the future.'

Whether it was the Essence Beast or the Dolba, both had strategic uses that if exploited well, could make him the richest within the Gaider Realm. They would also help the Gaider Realm resist invasion.

After all, the System Hosts that avoided the Gaider Realm would of course raise large armies to invade the Gaider Realm. If the entire Realm is crushed, that too would be a blow to his luck.

After all, what was the Main Character's fate?

It was to be at the centre of any and every significant event.

And, an invasion of the Gaider Realm would be one of the biggest events in its history. And, if he avoided such an event, his Main Character's innate luck would take such a massive blow that he could be killed by a common passer-by.

So, it was pretty obvious as to what his enemies had intended to do.

These five System Hosts, other than killing him also served to diminish his prospects, preventing him from creating a strong enough organisation to resist the invasion.

So, what he needed to do at present was rather simple. It was to arm himself to the limit. And, these Dolbas were perfect for that. After all, they were strong, nimble, and also used various attributes in their attacks.

Once he recovered his Origin Essence, Compass Carburettor first planted a Sleeper Cell seed within the Martial Providence Stage Dolba, waiting until it took root before activating his Origin Art of Mind Transfer.

After that, he approached it and extracted the fusion material growing on its back, storing it in his storage bracelet.

Compass Carburettor went around doing the same, intending to collect as many resources as possible. Of course, even if they weren't useful for him, he could use them to train future disciples or simply hand them over to the Mysterious Sect.

Though, he had no reason to wipe out the Dolba population, for that would be crippling the Gaider Realm's foundation. He didn't target most of the Martial Origin Stage Dolbas, only picking those with a useful and unique attribute or was at the Martial Providence Stage.

Luckily, he also came across quite a few infants that hadn't consumed a material yet. Of course, they were the most precious of them all, for he could use that for his future projects.

As they were just infants, he would be able to maintain them for long. And in an environment like the Folkan Secret Realm, his Origin Essence recovery rate was so high he could maintain it for decades without any problems.

"I've found the perfect material for myself." Grisha appeared behind him all of a sudden, startling him.

Compass Carburettor calmed himself and nodded, "Alright, let's go there."

The storage bracelet was created through her attribute. Moreover, her mark was left on it, allowing her to pinpoint his location any time she wanted and teleport there.

Grabbing hold of his shoulder, Grisha teleported them to a location almost in the centre of the island. Here, all the Dolbas were at the Martial Providence Stage, with the cultivation of quite a few almost reaching the peak.

Grisha pointed at a certain mysterious Dolba that seemed rather mysterious, possessing an unkeen presence.

"What attribute does it have?" Compass Carburettor asked, curious.

"It's a derivative of the Space attribute. It can phase through things." Grisha said.

"That will compliment your power further." Compass Carburettor nodded before he focused, extending his range to the limit before noticing that he wasn't able to reach it. He then scouted through the surroundings, pointing at a discreet location that was within the Dolba's range.

"It might sense us immediately though," Grisha said.

"Don't worry, I'll mask our presence." Compass Carburettor said as Grisha teleported them to the appointed hiding spot.

Origin Art—Gloss Over!

The Dolba flinched as it turned around, sensing something amiss as it slowly walked over, gazing at a certain spot, frowning. This was where it had sensed something amiss for an instant.

In truth, this was exactly where Grisha and Compass Carburettor were hiding at.

Using the proximity to his advantage, Compass Carburettor activated his Origin Art of Mind Transfer, grunting as most of his Origin Essence was used up to barely transfer a tenth of its mind.

Thankfully, the Sleeper Cell seed had already taken root as the Dolba didn't move from the location, allowing him to gradually recover his Origin Essence and take off parts of its mind after equal intervals.

"It's done. You can extract its fusion material." Compass Carburettor smiled after a while.

"Thanks." Grisha seemed happy for some reason as she extracted the fusion material, "Let's head somewhere safer."

Saying so, she teleported the both of them, including the Dolba away.
