5 am in the morning,In the dark room of the cave, Raizel was sitting in a cross-legged position. His awareness dived into his soul realm, re-appearing in the dark illusionary s.p.a.ce as a mental projection.
A floating island with two spiritual roots; one large indigo root and another tiny crimson root were the only things hosting the island floating in the void of his soul realm with their vines scattered all around the island.
"Did you really think that I would fall for such pitiful tricks? I created you in form of an A.I, I was the one who wrote your source code and brought you to life by fusing my sub-conscience and embedding it on my spiritual root." Raizel muttered, gazing at the indigo root.
"I thank you for all the splendid gifts and the gracious lesson you have provided me, Zena. but unfortunately, you won"t be returning back to existence ever again, my most prided creation." With that said, a vicious light flashed through his pupils. He now frimly believed that no sentient existence can remain eternally loyal. Zena"s betrayal cruelly tought him this reality.
"Now, it"s time to claim what is rightfully mine." With this said, he waved his hand.
"DAO"
*Whosh* *Whosh* *Whosh*
*Pierce* *Pierce* *Pierce*
With an intention from Raizel, pitch black chains with sharp blade heads appeared within a micro-second and penetrated the indigo root from different directions. The chains covered every inch of the root, draining it"s power at a eye-catching rate.
As someone who has been wondering around for countless eras, he was a spectator to the Grand scheme of things, matters unkown to him weren"t many. So even though he loved Zena with all his heart, he still left a few counter measures on her source code just in case, something goes wrong. But he never truely expected a situation, where he would have to use them.
The power he once bestowed was now returning to it"s source and Zena"s schemes failed miserably. Though, Raizel had to admit that her plan was very innovative. She was originally a part of him, so it is possible for her to leave a little consealed virus to restore herself while bypa.s.sing the ironclad law of soul oblivion, during the ultimate ability transfer.
Everything about her persona resides in a source code and if the source code and if it exists, she could restore herself, given the correct situation; like the presence of her database and enough spirit power.
For a normal sentient being, this would never be acceptable. Because they wouldn"t be actually alive again, but just a vessel with all their memories and feeling stored as data. But for someone with an A.I like sentience, this was a very viable option.
"I was right, wasn"t I?"
"How could a woman, No! an extremely rational and sentient A.I who overwrote it"s source code-- betrayed it"s master ever be sacrifice itself without any cause... just believing that would be highly absurd."
"Now, even though I could only recover 0.000,000,010% of the spiritual root, it"s enough. Let the rest be converted into myriad points."
Raizel ruthlessly cut off the spiritual root through the chains and tributed that unrifined power to his Daos. The original radiant and divine spiritual root, now shrunk into a tiny figure. It became the same as the pale crimson root in every aspect other then the negative nature of it.
Zena"s plan was indeed well thought, but she left out a very big flaw; the flaw named Dao. The Dao represents true self and nature, as long as one exists even in the form of a tiny atom, his Dao will be there. Thus, even after reincarnation, Raizel"s Daos were dorment but still there. These Daos were the true reason why he could survive in the void.
Dream, Desire, Karma, Fate
These were Raizel"s Daos, all which gave him limitless mental power, even the system was dominated by them, unable to do anything while Zena"s virus was destroyed which it was programed to protect.
In fact, the true reason why Raizel allowed the system to fuse with him was this. His Daos were too weak to affect the real world, but in his soul realm was the an entirely different story.
Zena thought, he had lost everything during his time in the void after the self-destruction. But she was unaware that his karmic and fate daos, bound him to the system and her as anchors, while his willpower kept his slumbering conscient alive.
The scenery changed and the realm turned black with countless cryptic lines all over. This lines were rune codes of the system"s program. Raizel was setting the system back to default manually; effectively erasing any program Zena ever put in place, even the hidden ones.
This will also delete all of Zena"s research and data, but the core data optained from the 15 universes memories will remain. This was a small price to pay to get rid of a dangerous tumor. And with the infusion of his Daos, the Myriad Hack System was now truely become an incarnation of him.
(After hours of resetting and Dao infusion)
[Beep. Settings implemented. System has returned to Beginner level.]
"Your finally awake"
Raizel heard as soon as he opened his eyes, he recognized the voice; if was Yumina"s. But before saying anything, his nostrils. .h.i.t upon the alluring smell of cooked meat.

*Gerrrwh* (Stomach growling)
"Go on, eat. The foods for you." Said Yumina while smiling at Raizel.
Without further edo, Raizel savagely started devouring the grilled meat. Rats, bats, snake even dogs there was more then 5 different grilled items in fornt of him.
Yumina was still starring at him. Somehow, she enjoyed the sight before her, a glint of fullfilment sprouted in her heart, as if all her hard work since morning were worth it for this sight.
Pushing these thoughts to the back of her mind, she wondered how could he stay in the same position the without moving an inch, for a whole day.
Deep down inside, even she knew this was extremely unnatural of her. In just two days her heart grew infatuated with him. She thought it was the work of the contract.
But even Raizel wasn"t aware that this was his Daos at work through the system, they were liching off her emotions and thoughts to recover while attuning her mind to serve him. Turning her into an absolutely loyal slave while retaining her persona, which Raizel desired.
Only after eating everything, did Raizel notice that it was already night and he had spend the entire day fixing system.
"Figures why, I was so d.a.m.n hungry."
"She must have hunted and cooked these for me" Raizel thought.
Taking out horned rabbit meat from the system, he said with a smile on his lips
"Sorry, I left nothing for you. To make it up to you, let"s c.o.c.k and eat this together"
Though the smile looked hideous and creepy, for Yumina, it somehow brought warmth to her heart.
She was looking forward to the adventures they would have together. Her face bloomed as she happily complied.
