Systemless in a Parallel World



The plan, if one could call it such, was pretty simple.

Zayn and Normie King traveled through one of the many underground tunnels to pave their way to the back of the Demonling Army. Once they reached a suitable area, they climbed to the surface.

A bunch of demons entered their sight almost immediately. They were grotesque beings with hideous and monstrous appearances. But even then, none of them looked the same as the other. Every Demon looked different, even if it was just a little. Their wings may be longer, or their claws were shorter. Some had more fangs, while others had no horn or many horns. The distortion of their bodies was also widely different, and certain Demons had multiple limbs or heads.

"They're somewhat humanoid, or am I mistaken?" Zayn asked quietly, but the Normie King didn't answer. He shot through the air, his longsword unsheathed.

Zayn could barely follow the Normie King's movement. One moment he was next to Zayn the other moment he held the head of a Demon Adel in his hands.

Zayn stared blankly at this for a moment before he shook his head. They were in a small Demon Village flooded with the overpopulating Demons, yet the Normie King charged straight ahead.

'Is that really the same person who told me to act carefully, that it was dangerous out here? Isn't he the reckless one?' A smile blossomed on his face as he followed the Normie King outside.

He felt much better knowing that the Normie King didn't act like a strict ass. He didn't have a stick stuck in his butthole, but he was a little more flexible, and thirsting for blood.

That was good news, and something Zayn made use of.

"Can you take care of the Demon Adels and injure the Overlords for me before you make sure that nobody can run away and warn their brethren?" Zayn shouted out loud enough for the Normie King to hear.

He was not sure if the Normie King would listen to him, but an answer arrived not even a minute later. Several corpses were spread out in front of them, all of them Demon Adels. However, that was not it. There was more.

More than ten writhing bodies were lying in front of him, trying their utmost to move around and get up, but they couldn't Their spines had been shattered cleanly.

'This guy…is such great company!' Zayn could only think before he sliced through the crippled Demon Overlords' throat. He killed them, grasped their Soul Wisps, and absorbed the attached ownerless soul particles.

Afterward, he ordered Glutton to start devouring the corpses around him.

Without further delay, Zayn summoned his other Spirits to make sure that they would have enough fun fighting as well.

Five hundred Giga, more than 200 Berserk Gigas, a Champion, and a King emerged around Zayn. They spread out, followed by Herculean and the other Spirits. Seeing the Demonlings around them, the Spirits were fired up. None of them hesitated as they charged at their opponents, killing them one after another.

Meanwhile, the Normie King dropped a few more Demon Overlords wherever Zayn was located. He killed them and absorbed the ownerless soul particles before he threw the dead bodies near Glutton. A small mountain of corpses had already formed near Glutton, and Soul Orbs had already been produced.

Seeing this, Zayn's smile widened even further.

It was about time to give his all as well.

He exerted Cy-Stride and disappeared from the spot. His movements were rapid and hard to predict. He emerged in front of a Mid Soul Lord Demon and beheaded it with two strikes. One strike was all it took to overwhelm the Demon while the second delivered the final blow.

Zayn's speed was terrifyingly fast, his acceleration was near-instant, and his great flexibility allowed him to make sudden movements that ought to be impossible.

However, Zayn's current physique made it possible.

'There are ten thousand Demonlings in this village. Killing them all should be enough to expand my army to 1000 powerhouses and increase my rank a little!'

Taking this into consideration, Zayn's movements accelreated. Whenever he killed a Demonling, he absorbed the ownerless soul particles attached to their Soul Wisps before he went ahead. His strength and speed increased with every kill he made as the soul particles he devoured assimilated into his body almost instantaneously.

This was the advantage of going all out, fighting while releasing a large amount of soul particles. His used-up energy was replenished, and the excessive soul particles were absorbed and annexed inside his heart. Thus, as the number of Demonlings in the village decreased drastically, Zayn's power increased.

He had yet to manifest a Demon Spirit, but he had already used his soul particles to restrict certain Soul Wisps from ascending. The strongest Demonlings and Demon Overlords were not given the freedom to leave this place, not even after only their soul was left behind.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and a huge mountain had formed next to Glutton.

By now, Zayn's 4th Soulframe was filled close to 30%. Once Glutton finished its work, and Zayn devoured the Soul Orbs it had yet to produce, his Soulframe would be nourished by another 10%. That was a drastic increase from just one battle.

However, assimilating the remaining soul particles into his body would take a while. He would have to rest for the rest of the day and tomorrow morning to adapt to the strength he gained. Meanwhile, his Spirits could absorb more soul particles from their surroundings to grow stronger.

But before Zayn would go to rest a little, he had some work left to do.

Exactly 250 Soul Wisps revolved around his body, each of them harboring an experienced Demon with unique trait, or the Soul Essence of a Demon Overlord, or Demon Adel. Manifesting their Spirit was possible, though he had to make sure that their power would be restrained.

Fortunately, that was hardly a problem for the current Zayn. Creating a Soul Symbol for all types of Demonlings, Zayn would make sure that the Demons wouldn't be able to cause trouble, forget about slipping out of his control!

Normie King disappeared somewhere more than ten minutes ago. Zayn was not sure where he was, but the Normie King was a Normie with six Soulrings. None of the Demonlings participating in the natural selection war should be strong enough to deal with him.

Sure enough, the Normie King returned half an hour later with the corpses of a few winged Demon Adel.

"They almost escaped me. Good thing I got them. We don't want anyone to find out about your Spirits, right?" He said, smiling lightly at Zayn.

Returning his gaze, Zayn shuddered a little. The Normie King was also not completely right in the head. One or two screws in his head were lose, that was for sure.

But it was not as if Zayn was better. He just smiled and diverted his attention back ot the mountain of corpses.

"I think, we should leave. This mountain of corpses attracts too much attention," he said, spreading out his soul particles to engulf the entire corpse mountain. A moment later, the corpse mountain disappeared inside the storage space of his Silvermoon Bracelet.

Glutton stared at him in anger, but Zayn just smiled.

"You can finish your job once we're back in the headquarters. We will fight once again tomorrow morning!"

While Zayn stored the completed Soul Orbs in the Silvermoon Bracelet, the Normie King picked up one of them. He absorbed the ownerless soul particles inside and felt immediately that there was not the slightest trace of resistance.

His eyes widened and understanding dawned on him.

'Ownerless soul particles. He can annex them without the need to break down the soul particle's defense…This guy has multiple cheat codes…' Normie King understood.

'He might become a Soul Adel in less than two months!!'
