Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 305 Bug
【ERROR! ERROR!】

[Detected that the auxiliary intelligence support system E03 is offline, detected that the B02 main system performance has decreased, detected that the auxiliary intelligence system is offline, detected that the V1 system has lost support]

Rean would never have imagined that when he randomly drew a card, a bug would appear in "The World" at that moment.

From the very beginning, this special deity and his human incarnation should not have appeared in the "gacha pool". With a special "responsibility", he was originally outside the gacha pool.

However, Lex's "wish" changed everything.

Ultimately, the Heroic Spirit Compendium is a subsystem that serves Li Ensu. Li Ensu himself has the highest authority, and the Heroic Spirit's "wish" is the authority itself!
[Having discovered the reason for the E03 system's shutdown, the V2 system granted it the highest privileges, added it to the succession candidate list, and confirmed its selection.]

[Modified mode activated, V1 system activated. Select Heroic Soul Processor]

Thanks to Lex's efforts, "E3 (Fisterion)," who was theoretically not supposed to be chosen, entered a special "pool of gods," and Rean "just happened" to choose him.

Okay, no need for exact timing anymore. At this point, the pseudo-random pattern can probably be determined.

Ultimately, the Heroic Spirit Compendium V2 is designed to cultivate new Awakened Ones. With its ability to glimpse destiny, it can naturally "predict" to some extent which candidate will be of the best help to the Awakened One.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, it's fair to say that every draw Rean makes is a "divine draw," where he draws people who can help him in various ways. Whether he messes it up or not is another matter entirely.

Both good and bad are possible, but they are destined to be the ones whose fate fluctuates the most.

Rean probably never imagined that when E3, which should not have been selectable, was included in the special pool of gods, Rean would naturally draw it because of its "extremely high cost-effectiveness".

This one draw instantly caused a huge problem, a problem that could affect the entire world.
[V1's auxiliary system, E3 offline error correction system, activated. Heroic warriors summoned! Candidates selected, Y21, X115 awakening mode activated.]

The designers probably didn't expect that a large part of this interconnected system could suddenly go offline.

During the operation of this system, a large number of bugs and garbled characters appeared, and the final error correction system had become somewhat "emotional".

The E3 system, which is part of the auxiliary system, may not be important in itself, but it is a subsystem of the more important V1 (Hall of Heroes) and B02 systems. Its shutdown means that the entire Heroes system will have major problems.

"Buzz!"

A sudden meteor streaked across the sky, and two "Heroic Soul Thrones" descended to earth, ready to correct this mistake.

This is bound to bring new troubles and anxieties.
"The Demon Tide War has only just begun, how come heroic warriors have already descended?"

"Are you kidding me? Does this even touch on the possibility of world destruction? Isn't there something wrong with this?"

In the shadows, the guardians of the world—the "Gate," which many ancient beings regarded as destroyers of the world—were also astonished by the arrival of the heroic spirits.

Generally speaking, their arrival often means things will get out of control.

This is similar to two sides just starting to argue, and bystanders are still wondering if they will start fighting. Suddenly one side drops a nuclear weapon and then uses a devastating biological weapon. It doesn't seem normal at all.

Normal racial warfare or even massacres cannot activate these "world guardians." Only when there is a major problem involving the extinction of intelligent life (beyond racial extinction) or the destruction of the world will these "slumberers" be summoned back to the mortal realm.

They don't use them often, but each time it's a major event. Nobody would casually throw an intercontinental ballistic missile at someone's face.

"In the northwest of the mainland? Go investigate and see what happened."

Many ancient beings followed the trajectory of the meteor and headed to the northwest of the continent. But even if they passed by Radiant City, they would probably ignore this "peaceful little town".

"boom!"

Finally, the first heroic spirit was placed.

It, or rather she, landed in the land of ice and snow.

The azure crystal shuttle began to disintegrate, and energy-rich matter constructed new limbs for the heroic spirits. The ancient heroes, returning from history, descended to the mortal realm.

The blue woman slowly floated up, and the crystal gradually transformed into her flesh and clothing. It was a rather gorgeous robe, and her necklace, bracelet, and earrings all emitted a faint golden light.

Her crystal-clear skin turned snow-white again, and when she opened her eyes, her blood-red pupils held a hint of confusion. She was probably a little unaccustomed to waking up outside the battlefield.

Looking around, it seemed there were only snow bears and penguins, and a husky and a winter wolf rushing by.

What is he asking me to kill? A snow dog?
She casually waved her hand, opening the light screen. Then, after just one glance, a displeased expression appeared on her beautiful face.

"This is to have the soldiers fix the bugs and awaken the other logistics-type heroes; it's their job." It seems she's communicating with something.

She seemed a little agitated. This wasn't the work she was supposed to do; she only knew how to do things that involved killing.
"Huh? You can let me teach him a lesson, do whatever I want with him. Okay, I'll do it."

The blue-haired hero was instantly excited. It would be so satisfying to beat that man up again! Especially since he was still immature, he could do whatever he wanted with him.

"You old bastard, you scumbag, Li Ensu! Teacher!" The joyful spirit, stepping on a small boat made of ice and snow, slowly drifted south.

Meanwhile, Rean was unaware that his personal actions had inadvertently affected the entire world, and that people were already happily coming to cause trouble, and there was more than one of them.

He just stared blankly outside, wondering if he had drawn a card. Something felt off.

"How long?"

He was a little lost; something seemed off about the whole city.

"Fisterion self-destructs! You've lost!"

"Aaaaaah, get the self-destruct aggro mage deck out of Mage mode!!"

A sudden noise rang out all around. But this wasn't in Rean's house; it was on the street.

Two knights actually took out a mage chess set in the street and started playing a game of chess in full view of everyone.

Their chessboard is this street, and the chess pieces have suddenly materialized, summoning large "heroic warriors" who are wreaking havoc.

Bystanders watched them, cheering them on, completely unconcerned about being affected. Similar scenes were everywhere; looking around, there were people "playing chess" everywhere.

It seems that the concept of chess has replaced the concept of battle and conflict.

Rean seemed to be the only one who remained clear-headed. He did not interfere, because interference would be pointless.

"Yesterday it was Hero Chess, today it's Mage Chess, what's tomorrow? Yu-Gi-Oh!?"

Rean sighed. He wondered if he was dreaming, but it all seemed so real.

[Rean (normally possessed by the Heroic Spirit)]

[Synchronization Rate: 10% (Warning: If the synchronization rate is lower than 10%, the Heroic Spirit Possession will end prematurely)]

[Satisfaction Level: 10% (Warning: If the satisfaction level is below 10% when the Heroic Spirit Possession ends, there will be no rewards left. The higher the satisfaction level, the higher the rewards.)]

In a very strange situation, Rean's two stats were at their lowest normal levels, but he couldn't sense the presence of the "Heroic Spirit".

He was still wondering yesterday if it was all a dream, but some numbers proved that this place was real.

[Species Level: Silver, Temporary Occupation Level: Tier 1 Bard, Tier 1 Songstress, Tier 1 Juggler (These temporary occupations will disappear after 12 days and 3 hours)]

The number was 13 days yesterday, but it has become 12 days today.

This seems to be the third day since I entered the "dream".
"I want some snacks! Honey candy! Bad friend duel!" Lana suddenly jumped out, holding a mage chess piece, and challenged her to a duel.

Instantly, a large crowd of onlookers appeared around them.

Suddenly, a set of chess pieces appeared on Rean's own hands.
"Don't eat too much, watch your teeth!" Even though his mind was perfectly clear and he thought it was absurd, his hands started moving, and the duel began.

Rean had a tough time in this battle because his team was weak, but he fought hard to win so that Lana wouldn't have a toothache!
"A duel! If you lose, come to the palace with me and become my squire knight!"

Suddenly, Princess Dania jumped out and took out an extremely rare and powerful chess set.

Rean was instantly killed, but he wasn't taken to the princess's house.

"Duel! Bring on the little father!" Hela jumped in just in time, and fought Dania in a chaotic mess.

"What the hell is this!" Rean thought to himself, but his body was still clapping and cheering, trying his best to cheer for his "princess".

The chaotic day was unfolding, and everything was becoming increasingly bizarre. Rean didn't even know whose bed he was sleeping in.

But what's even stranger is that the next morning, he got out of bed again.
Good morning, friends! Time for sword practice!

Lana was no different from usual, happily pulling him to practice swordsmanship. When he asked, everything seemed normal, as if nothing had happened.

However, the time marker that had become the "11th" possessed spirit revealed that everything was not a dream.

"What's going on? The rain has stopped! The weather has cleared up!" Soon, the people of the whole city were surprised to find that their time had quietly slipped away.

When traveling merchants came, priests and mages who contacted the gods and other cities quickly confirmed a reality.

"The entire city suddenly disappeared for three days? Nobody noticed, and they lost three days of their lives?"
