GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS

Patrick impassively watched as Lian Zu flashed and appeared not far from him. Lian Zu, or Sun Wukong, stood with his staff on his shoulders as he looked at Patrick and the unknown black staff in his hand. He wiped the blood off his nose with a swipe as he spoke.

"I have fought countless entities for countless eons, and I must admit, never have I been sent that far back by anyone, let alone by an item. Tell me, what treasure was that you used against me?"

"... It's just a ring, nothing more... Although you failed to catch my ring, making you unqualified as my plaything, I still intend to teach you a lesson. Now, come be my plaything, Sun Wukong."

Hearing this, Lian Zu had an instant change in expression from calm to annoyed; simultaneously, he released one side of the staff as he aggressively swung it at Patrick, his staff growing instantly as it covered the distance and aimed for Patrick's right face. But Patrick casually blocked the staff using his left pinky finger; he then slightly tapped it, causing it to vibrate intensely and making Lian Zu lose his grip.

But simultaneously, Lian Zu smirked as he moved two fingers, controlling the staff and spinning it to attack Patrick's left face at full force; this time, Patrick used Limitless to block the incoming attack. A loud metallic sound echoed through the atmosphere, instantly causing the void to shatter. Without hesitation, Lian Zu flashed at an unscalable speed and appeared behind Patrick with a clenched left fist; he then threw a heavy punch, aiming for Patrick's back.

But to Lian Zu's surprise, Limitless was already behind Patrick, blocking his mighty punch. With a quick astonished expression, Lian Zu sent a kick at the staff, trying to clear it from his way; still, before he could even raise his leg, the black staff simultaneously appeared behind Lian Zu as it spun and hit him on his right face. Although Lian Zu tried blocking with his right hand, supported by his left, the unbearable impact from the staff still sent him flying in the distance.

A massive air resistance could be seen over the skies of Athos as Lian Zu's figure flashed across the realm like a meteor. His body constantly broke the sound and space barriers like rows of glass being shot at. Lian Zu had a shocked expression as his body drifted into the distance; he couldn't help but vent his emotions.

"How is this possible!? I know he's fast, but how is he that fast? And how is his staff also that fast?! What level of treasure is it?! How annoying!"

Lian Zu vented as he continuously crashed into the space void. But then, with a sharp twist, he turned his body and instantly halted mid-air. Again, Lian Zu spat out a mouthful of blood as he hovered with a disgruntled expression. He inhaled deeply as he vanished from his spot into the void, with the space barriers shattering behind him after.

The void bent as Lian Zu materialized from it; he instantly hovered above Patrick as he bellowed, "Fire Breath!" simultaneously releasing an enormous wave of blazing red flames at Patrick. The blazing flame was thousands of feet wide as it made Patrick look tiny in comparison, and it was hot to the point even the space barriers instantly melted. The skies lit brightly as the raging red flames erased the surrounding darkness.

Still, Patrick remained unfazed; he didn't even bother looking at Lian Zu. Instead, he stretched his right hand as his black staff, Limitless, was already in his hands. He then pointed the staff at the blazing hot flames as he uttered. "Fire Concept erasure." Simultaneously, the enormous blazing flames instantly vanished as if it was never there, causing the scene to assume its darkness.

The sudden erasure of the fire concept left Sun Wukong confused and speechless as he gasped for air. He again tried using the same technique but quickly realized he couldn't. Steadily looking below at Patrick, Lian Zu had bulging eyes as he spoke with confusion.

"You... What just happened?! What did you do?!"

But contrary to Lian Zu's expectations, Patrick wasn't there. Realizing this, Lian Zu quickly reacted as he turned and looked above his head: as guessed, Patrick hovered above Lian Zu with his staff laying on his right shoulder; he then spoke with a sigh.

"Don't be too surprised; I just erased the concept of fire ever existing. For now, at least. But I must say, you are boring me, Sun Wukong, do better. Now catch!"

Simultaneously finishing his sentence, Patrick let go of Limitless, allowing it to drop into Lian Zu's hands. But with a smirk, Lian Zu stretched out his left hand as he watched the staff fall into his hands in slow motion; he even stared at Patrick as if he was not bothered about catching the black staff the least. He even began speaking.

"You think catching a mere sta-

VOOOM!!

A loud sound reverberated as Lian Zu's figure unimaginably vanished from the scene, interrupting his boastful speech. That was because before the staff could even come a meter close to Lian Zu's hand, he felt an unlimited amount of weight instantly pulling him down. Patrick remained in the air, hands behind him while maintaining his unimpressed face; he couldn't help but sigh with boredom as he watched the falling Lian Zu.

Lian Zu/ Sun Wukong had a panicked reaction as he experienced his body being pulled down by the black staff, but being pulled down wasn't the reality-shattering part, but rather the fact that he kept appearing in different realities every second he kept falling; it was as if instead of shattering the space void, the black staff shattered reality itself. This constant breaking into countless realities left Lian Zu in shock and terror as it was completely new to him.

But instinctively, he held his right hand as he called for his staff, Ruyi. At the scene, Patrick watched as the golden staff with intricate designs began intensely vibrating, but before it could even vanish into the void, the golden staff was already in Patrick's hands. Looking at the staff, Patrick thought.

'So, he can still summon the staff even in different realities... Not bad.'

Patrick then let go as the golden staff vanished into the void, responding to its master's calling.

The golden staff instantly appeared in Lian Zu's right hand; without hesitation, Lian Zu/Sun Wukong swung his golden staff from under the black staff, trying to push the black staff from his hand and freeing himself. But to his disbelief, the black staff didn't even budge; on the contrary, his golden staff also got stuck under the black staff, making it impossible for him or his weapon to escape from their inevitable descent into countless realities.

The constant crashing into different realities and the impossible escape from the black staff left Lian Zu demoralized; he even had an expression of regret for daring to challenge Patrick. But the continuous crashing gave Lian Zu/Sun Wukong time to contemplate. He slowly began losing his arrogant attitude, assuming a more relaxed and surrendering temperament.

'He has a weapon that can continuously break realities endlessly. He's faster, stronger, and more powerful than me by levels. I know I'm not fighting in my real body right now, but what big of a difference would it make? And besides, why bother with fighting him when I could be friends with such a powerful multi-versal being?'

Lian Zu ceased his resistance as he allowed himself to be pulled down. As if sensing Lian Zu's emotions, the black staff finally crashed and stopped in one of the realities. The crashed-in reality was none other than Sun Wukong's Universe. The black staff continued its fall as it heavily smashed into an area at an unknown location; the scene trembled as the fall impact instantly demolished the mountains and terrains within a hundred-thousand-mile radius into debris.

Lian Zu/Sun Wukong now lay in the massive crater, millions of miles deep, with a relieved expression, with the black staff still laying a meter above his left hand. He stared into the sky as he inhaled the fresh air. But then, he saw Patrick already hovering above him; Patrick spoke.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Hah ha, is that a joke? How can't I be satisfied? I may have lost this brawl, but I have learned many things, such as your existence. Till now, I have boasted of never losing a fight, not even against the Jade Emperor, which I believe you two will meet eventually. But you have made me lose in every way possible."

"... Since your battle spirit is quenched, then it's time we bid farewell."

Patrick spoke as his black staff, Limitless, rose from Lian Zu's hand and returned to him. He continued.

"I might have given you Limitless if you can lift her, but evidently, you can't. But bringing you to your universe should already be a gift... Farewell, Sun Wukong; try not to cross me again, will you? And also, I'm bringing the kid's body."

"Wait-

Simultaneously, Patrick and Lian Zu's body weren't at the scene anymore, leaving behind a glint of light hovering in the scene.

Soon after, the space trembled as an enormous rift opened in the skies; from the gigantic rift was the body of a being completely basked in a golden aura. This being was Sun Wukong's actual body; the massive Sun Wukong opened his golden-aura eyes as he heaved a heavy breath, causing the surrounding space to shatter instantly.

Before him was his long golden staff, Ruyi, which was also covered in golden energy; Sun Wukong steadily stretched and opened his right palm as the glint of light flashed and appeared on it. Then, the glint of light suddenly transformed into a single strand of hair as it rested on Sun Wukong's palm. Closing his palm, Sun Wukong exclaimed.

"Farewell to you too, One Above."
