Systemless in a Parallel World

Inside the golden mass, he could see a large amount of soul particles!

He tried to absorb the soul particles within the golden mass, and astonishingly enough, it actually worked!

More than a dozen soul particles entered his body all of a sudden. Zayn absorbed and annexed the soul particles on a whim before he realized what had just happened.

"You…really are a Glutton…"

Even if Zayn didn't know the full extent of the Termite Queen Spirit's might, there were a few things that were pretty obvious to the eye. The Termite Queen Spirit had just been manifested, yet it was able to create a mass of soul particles that could be touched and absorbed.

The only logical reason for this could be that the Spirit devoured her lower body.

'She can devour the soul particles of other beings by eating and digesting them? It's similar to sucking out the remnants of life of dead bodies…to create these…Soul Orbs. Pretty darn powerful…'

For now, Zayn was only coming up with a theory. However, this theory was quickly proven to be correct as the Termite Queen Spirit finished the rest of her body, creating another Soul Orb, which was the name Zayn came up with for the golden mass.

Soul Orbs were similar to Soul Crystals, with the sole difference being that the Soul Crystals had a shell. Soul Orbs didn't have any outer covering, but that was not important right now.

Zayn was exhilarated because the Termite Queen Spirit did not only possess an ability in her Spirit form, but the ability was much stronger than anything he could fathom. Even with two expanding pouches it would be hard to collect the corpses of all Gluttony Termites that he was going to kill today and in the following days.

Leaving their mutilated bodies behind after removing their gel sacs, discarded on the ground was not exactly pleasant and it made Zayn wonder what he was supposed to do with the bodies of the monsters he would kill in the future.

He was pretty sure that the Mutant Gluttony Termite Queen Spirit could devour all Gluttony Termites and create dozens of Soul Orbs that could be absorbed by his other Spirits.

This thought was more than enough to feel exhilarated, which one could clearly see in the brightly gleaming eyes of the young man who patted the back of his newest Spirit after he gave the Herculean Human Spirit the second Soul Orb to absorb.

"Okay, I will formally call you Glutton from now onward!"

Even if Glutton didn't possess any noteworthy combat talent, let alone combat prowess, her ability was exceptional, making her a formidable addition to Zayn's Army of Spirits.

Glutton would most definitely become one of the pillars of Zayn's small army, and it excited him quite a bit.

He was more than happy but it was about time for him to get serious and not get carried away by his small victory. There were still over a hundred thousand Gluttony Termites that had to be eliminated, their gel sac removed, and the rest of their bodies devoured by the Queen they had once followed.

"Control the Gluttony Termites, form batches, and lead them to the surface where we can kill them in waves. Send a few hundred of the Gluttony Termites at a time!" Zayn ordered and Glutton complied, following his orders without a trace of hesitation. He was not sure how intelligent Glutton was, or how many memories of her 'past' life were still intact.

While the monsters didn't seem to resent him, Zayn knew that the Agile Human Spirit was trying to become stronger to kill him one day. He knew that both Human Spirits had retained their memories, to a certain extent, at least.

It was one of the mysteries about Spirit Manifestations that Zayn couldn't understand in the slightest. Which Spirits would retain their memories, who would resent his actions, and what else may or may not happen in their minds was hard to accurately decipher. However, he didn't worry too much about that either, if he were to be honest.

It was interesting to know how many memories his Spirits had retained since it was a part of their combat prowess as well.

Time passed slowly and the first wave of Gluttony Termites emerged on the surface. Zayn, Herculean, Agile and the Mocalw Bear obliterated the wave of monsters quickly with the Spirits' focus being on injuring and crippling, while Zayn would be given the chance to deliver the final blow to maximize the potential gains of the mission.

Zayn gained close to a thousand soul particles with every wave of Gluttony Termites they obliterated. This was a great haul and definitely worth the effort they put into obliterating the Gluttony Termite Colony. The Queen had already been slayed, meaning that his mission was completed, but Zayn didn't dare to leave the treasure trove until he had emptied it completely.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye and the corpses of Gluttony Termites piled up but Zayn was not yet done. Glutton had yet to start devouring the corpses as well and was patiently waiting since the gel sac had yet to be removed from them. The gel sacs wouldn't go bad so quickly, which was also why Zayn didn't bother dissecting the Gluttony Termites after every wave. He was more focused on accumulating more soul particles and finishing off every single one of the Gluttony Termites first.

This was what they had achieved now, after a total of four days. Now it was time for them to start dissecting the bodies of the Gluttony Termites, while Glutton would go down into her old liar to devour her own eggs.

Zayn didn't bother that this was grotesque. He had already done things that were bad enough to not be too bothered about morale and whether something was ethical or not.

It was something he hardly cared about at this moment since he could only see the massive gains in front of his eyes.

Over the course of the last four days, he absorbed and annexed far more than a hundred thousand soul particles. He also finished creating the third empty page in the Grimoire of the Ancient, and he also completed the second and third fully written pages.

The consumption of soul particles increased more than tenfold once he finished the second written page in the Grimoire but that was something Zayn had already expected to happen.
