Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain-Chapter 176 He lost control of the cube

(My editor is editing this chapter. I will update this A.S.A.P)

Without waiting for the system creator to reply, Hikaru continued: "In fact, when Rakan died you didn't want to stop me. Even now, you give me the opportunity to own the system."

"The way you gave me the opportunity to possess the system is like testing me, which further proves my hypothesis."

"Who owns the system is not important, the most important thing is that the person who owns the system needs to maximize its effectiveness."

"So… the question is, why are you doing this?"

"You also said that you created the system and nurtured Rakan for yourself, not for any other noble purpose."

"Two cases appear in my mind." 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈

"In the first case, you raise Rakan as your successor, to become the next god."

"But… I don't think so. I think before becoming a god you were also a human or a normal creature."

"As an intelligent being, there will certainly be negative emotions. Surely you are also a greedy, selfish person and have many dirty plans."

"I don't believe that someone who can reach your level doesn't have those negative thoughts and emotions."

"That's why we lean towards the second hypothesis. In this world, nothing lasts forever."

"You too. Perhaps you have lived a long time, but now, your lifespan is almost at an end, and your body has rotted away. That's why you want to cultivate a new body."

"A body that is stronger, younger, and better than your old body. So… when Rakan reaches a higher level and his body becomes more perfect, you will take action and steal his body."

"You will rise again in a perfect body, continuing your journey to become a God."

"Am I right, system creator?"

That gaze stared at Hikaru, without any sound.

A moment later, the system creator's laughter rang out: "Hahaha... hahahaha... Human, you guessed right."

"I don't need to hide anything from you. That's right, I'm looking for a good body for myself."

"But… you forgot the conditions I gave. I need you to convince me, not to find out my true purpose."

Hikaru also smiled and said: "If I know your purpose, I can more easily convince you."

"Convince me? Hahaha… I need a new, better body, if you take the system, it also means that you accept to become my new body."

"No… what I mean is… I will help you find a new body that suits you. Even that body is more suitable for you than Rakan."

"Hm?! Are you that confident?" The system creator spoke, his words carrying a bit of surprise.

Hikaru nodded and said: "That's right. You also know that I killed Rakan easily, which means that I also have the ability to find another body for you."

"Besides… the system is yours, if I lie, you can take it back at any time, right?"

The system creator frowned, his eyes looking suspiciously at Hikaru in the sky.

At this moment, Hikaru was not worried at all, he also did not care whether his reason was convincing enough or not.

He just smiled and looked at his eyes in the sky.

[Master, aren't you worried?]

"No… I'm not worried at all, on the contrary, he's the one who needs to worry."

[Heh?!] Rika was a bit surprised. She of course knew that the 'he' that Hikaru had just mentioned was the creator of the system.

However, she finds it difficult to understand why the system's creators need to worry?

[Why is that? Did you know something?]

"Hahaha… secret."

[You… huh! I don't care about you anymore.]

Rika's voice was filled with sulking. However, Hikaru had no intention of telling her the truth, he just silently stared at the eyes in the sky.

"Hm… human, you successfully convinced me."

At this moment, the cube flew in front of Hikaru, only about 2 meters away from him.

"You can use it, however, you should remember that it only has 3 functions left. And… you must find me a new body."

"Or… I will take your body, human…"

After saying that, the space around Hikaru suddenly shattered into pieces like glass.

He returned to reality, at this moment, he was still standing at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by snow.

It seemed like only a few minutes had passed.

Hikaru looked at the cube floating in front of him, he smiled and said: "Starting the process of hijacking the system."

[Ding! System hijacking begins.]

[Ding! Without any hindering factors, the successful person takes control of the system.]

[Ding! You successfully possess a new system with the following 3 functions: Assimilation, absorption and production.]

[Ding! You can let other people have the right to use these 3 functions of the system, however, you still have the highest control rights.

New system functions will be added to the system functions you currently own.]

Hikaru smiled: "Success!"

[Heh?! Wait! You... what's going on?] Rika felt confused and asked: [Just now...]

"Shhh!!" Hikaru put his index finger on his lips, signaling Rika to be quiet.

Rika was silent, he was also silent.

Hikaru looked at the cube floating in front of him for a moment. Feeling that there was no problem, he happily said: "At this point, I really own it."

He held the cube in his hand, his face showing a victorious smile as he spoke.

[Heh?! What just happened? I thought the card that helped you take control of this cube had already worked.]

"Hahaha.. very simple. When I activated that card, I was immediately pulled into the dark space from before. In that space, the system only gives a notification that the usurpation process has begun."

"However, that is just the process of usurping the right to use, not that I can already usurp the right to use that cube."

"That's why what happens inside that space is almost a challenge."

"Until just now, when I escaped that dark space, the card's function was actually activated."

"Right now, I think the creator of this cube is so angry that he wants to tear me into a million pieces."

[Hm… it seems… you understand him very well. Aren't you afraid he will kill you? You should remember…]

"Ah! We know that he is the creator of this cube, right? However, he also revealed too many weaknesses."

[Weakness?]

"That's right. First, he appeared but did not use or show his power to me, which means he was in a far away place, what appeared was just an illusion he created."

"Second, Rakan is a main character, the wheel of destiny led him to the cube, so… he must protect Rakan well."

"However, until Rakan died, he only appeared and said that he could let me use this cube."

"That's why, I think he can't do anything but appear in the illusion space just now to converse with me."

"He can't stop me from stealing the right to use this cube."

[Then why do you continue to talk and persuade him? You just need to take control of it and everything will be solved, right?]

Hikaru shook his head: "No. You think too simply, he is the one who created this thing, surely he can control this thing or has installed some fate."

"You also saw that he was able to cut off some functions of this cube, which proves that he still has the ability to control this cube."

"That's why I need to convince him to give me the right to use this cube."

"Once he has shaken off all suspicion, I will actually activate the card's function, hijacking the system before he can resist."

[WoW! I didn't think you could think so much.]

Hikaru sighed and said: "Don't praise me, to think of so many things, I used all my IQ from the moment I was born until now."

"Sigh! I feel like if I keep having problems like this, it would be better for Laylah or Velys to handle it."

Hikaru felt a pain in his head as if someone had just hit him with a hammer. In fact, he rarely has to think logically and speculate this much.

This was the first time, perhaps… this was also the last time he used his brain this much.

Troubled and complicated things like this need experts to solve. Who are the experts? Laylah and Velys, of course.

They are all extremely intelligent, logical people and have the ability to speculate extremely horribly, especially Laylah.

He also doesn't want to take risks like this all the time.

Hikaru sighed, then left...

…

In another space, the surroundings are filled with clouds carrying multi-colored auras, like nebulae.

"AAA!!!!" Suddenly, a terrible scream rang out: "My cube! My treasure! AAA!! Bastard!"

"Bastard! I will kill you! Chew your bones, drink your blood!"

"AAA!!!"

That's right, that was the voice of the system creator. Just as Hikaru guessed, the image he saw just now was just an illusion that this person left inside the system.

Of course, that illusion and his mind are linked together, everything the illusion sees and says is controlled by him.

He thought he had found a new piece to control, a new, better corpse.

His eyes were not wrong. He saw that Hikaru's body quality was a hundred times higher than Rakan's.

There is even a strange power inside Hikaru's body that he cannot see through and does not know what it is.

His greed arose, he really wanted to steal Hikaru's body.

However, he was wrong. While he was immersed in the dream that one day, Hikaru would come and let him take over his body, an incident occurred.

He lost control of the cube.
