Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 658: The Dark System

“The Dark System?” repeated Idan.

[Yes, the Dark System, also known as the Fallen System or the Parasite System].

[A System radically different from other Systems.]

[A System that has no division by rarity.]

[A System that has no name.]

[A System that doesn’t have a title.]

[A System that does not depend on a single Host.

This System needs a Host only to maintain its functioning.

It doesn’t matter to it what happens to the Host, as it can always find a replacement for him.]

“A system that has no rarity, name, title, and does not need a Host…” Idan said these words, trying to make sense of what he had heard.

“If that’s the case, then how the hell is this System… developing?” he wondered.

[The Dark System grows and becomes stronger, parasitizing other Systems, subjugating them by gaining control over their Hosts.]

[The Dark System functions like a computer virus, but it targets Hosts of other Systems exclusively.]

This analogy with a computer virus made Idan uneasy, considering that Arabel was infected with this particular System.

“How dangerous can such a System be?” he asked.

[Host, the Dark System does pose a serious threat, but it is not without some drawbacks and limitations.]

[The Dark System is capable of controlling only one Host at any given time. However, she remains in touch with all the Hosts infected by her, just as you keep in touch with all your contracted creatures.

A Dark System can replace a Host at any time and take control of any infected Host, as well as the capabilities of that Host’s System.]

“Can it even use the abilities of other Systems?” — the more Idan learned about this System, the more it shocked him.

[Yes, Host, that’s right.]

Idan, who was flying at an incredible speed towards the barrier, slowed down for a moment, lost in thought about the Dark System. A shudder ran through his body as he thought, “What if this Dark System can infect all the Awakened Ones?”

[Host, there’s no need to worry. The Dark System is not able to cover all existing System Hosts.]

[The number of infected Hosts has its limitations, and it depends on the level of growth of the world.]

[Once the world moves to the next stage, the Dark System will be able to infect more Hosts.]

[Its own level depends on the number of infected Hosts and the rarity of their Systems.]

[Therefore, in order to weaken the Dark System, it is necessary to destroy infected Hosts or purge them from the influence of the Dark System.]

“Weaken rather than destroy?” Idan asked to clarify.

[The Dark System is extremely difficult to destroy]

[As long as at least one infected Host with the System remains alive, the Dark System will not be defeated]

“And you’re saying that Belle was trapped in this Dark System and infected by it?”

“Why the hell, knowing about the existence of such a danger, have you been silent all this time, not letting us know?!” snapped Idan, angry that the System had withheld such important information from them.

Idan was even more annoyed that the System remained silent and did not answer his question.

Under the influence of the Energy of Madness, he was so angry that crazy thoughts flashed through his mind. If the System existed physically, he would have happily trampled on it, but unfortunately, he couldn’t catch it no matter how hard he tried.

Idan also felt that the System was not telling him something. He had a feeling that the System was somehow connected to the Dark System, as the System knew too much about it.

Even now, the System is probably already reading his mind and knows what he’s thinking. If it wanted to answer these questions, it would have already done so.

“What’s going to happen to Belle now?” wondered Idan, despite his anger. It was only thinking about her and how to find her and save her that kept him sane.

“You’ve already given up on her, which means Belle doesn’t have a System anymore. And how the hell is the Dark System going to deal with her if she doesn’t have a System anymore?” Idan asked.

[Host, your partner, although infected by the Dark System, is not yet fully under its control.]

[It will take time for the Dark System to completely subjugate a Host like your partner.]

[According to this System’s calculations, it will take about an hour for the Dark System to completely take over your partner.]

[Therefore, you need to find your partner within the allotted time.]

These words from the System calmed Idan down somewhat, and he looked forward to hearing further instructions, but to his surprise, the System didn’t say anything else.

“And then what?” he asked, having received no specific instructions on what to do after he found Arabel.

“After all, the influence of the Dark System won’t disappear just because I found her, will it?” Idan realized that it would be unreasonable to expect the Dark System to just let Arabel go.

[It’s very simple, Host.]

[All this time, the solution was at your fingertips, but you delayed it yourself.]

[You only need to fully activate this system — the Supreme Husband System and the Supreme Wife System.]

[Once it becomes fully functional, it will easily overcome the influence of the Dark System.]

“Activate the System? Are you saying that I need to find Belle during this time and marry her?” exclaimed Idan, glancing at the timer, which showed a little over 50 minutes.

“But that’s impossible!” he said in despair.

[Nothing is impossible, Host.]

[You’re making things difficult for yourself.] — added by the System.

Idan was at a loss as to how to react to the System’s words.

[Focus on finding your partner, leave the rest to this System.]

After these words, the System went silent.

Idan followed the advice and prepared for what was about to happen, as he had almost reached the barrier.

Meanwhile, if he had looked at his status, he would have seen that his and Arabel’s System Points had started to decrease rapidly.

-1

-1

-1

…

One by one, symbolic -1 points were deducted from their total System points.

At the same time, portals began to open inside the Kingdom, one after another.
