The Over-Break System



Rushing forward and thumping Cynrik's cheek with her tiny hand, Tobs freaked out as she read his thoughts and instantly stopped him from thinking in such a dangerous way. 

Unfortunately, no matter how intimidating and fierce Tobs acted, her attacks could barely be registered by Cynrik. 

'Oi, calm down, Tobs; you didn't even bother hearing me out on this one.' Puffing out his left cheek in a pout, Cynrik reached across his body and snatched the small Mana Fairy by the back of her shirt before lifting her in front of his face. 

  -CYNRIK, YOU PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!-

She howled while flailing her arms and legs in every direction to free herself from the evil Cynrik's clutches. 

'Calm down squirt. It's not like I can hurt you.' Cynrik stated while rolling his eyes and releasing her.

  -HUFF, I know what goes on in that head of yours, and the first idea you came up with was flooding not only the Governess's body but also her Codex with Umbra Mana so that you can force a chain reaction resulting in her obtaining the Affinity.-

  -LIFE ISNT ANIME CYNRIK! Shit like that doesn't work in the real world. DUMB ASS!-

Fluttering around like an angry wasp, Tobs continued bonking Cynrik all over his head until he looked at her, pursed his lips, and blew out a gust of air.

In truth, it was just him exhaling normally; however, to Tobs, who was still unstable in her body, it felt like entering a hurricane. Not even a second later, the tiny fairy had given up and suddenly appeared on Cynrik's right shoulder again before sitting down, crossing her arms and pouting in protest toward her Tyrannical and mean host. 

'Come on, I know you read the full breakdown and theory I came up with. Can you honestly tell me there is no basis for it working?' Reaching up and gently poking Tobs' arm, which ended up nudging her whole body to the side, Cynrik fought back the urge to tease the tiny fairy. 

It was simply too much fun. 

  -HMPH, TAKE THIS, NOM!-

In her anger, Tobs lashed out and chomped down onto Cynrik's finger in annoyance. However, to the person in question, it reminded him of catching small lizards as a kid. 

Back then, he and Brance would even have them bite down on their earlobes, making Lizard Earrings. It wasn't like there was any force behind their bite, so it didn't hurt; it just itched a little bit.

Smirking at the memory, Cynrik wiggled his finger until Tobs finally let go and continued pouting. 

'Instead of pouting and wasting time, how about you explain why it won't work? I have a general idea of what could go wrong, but theoretically, it should be possible. All you would need is to completely flood the person's Circuits and Codex, forcing a mutation and causing them to adapt to the presence and use of the new Particle.' Scratching his cheek and looking down at the Governess's Codex, Cynrik rattled off his fact-based theory. 

  -No, there is no conceivable way that it would EVER work, Cynrik, because Affinities have nothing to do with the Body or the Codex and EVERYTHING to do with the Being's SOUL!-

This time, it was Cynrik's turn to be stunned. 

'Huh? You said WHAT NOW?' His brain suddenly reached a screeching halt in an instant as he snapped his face away from the Governess and toward Tobs. 

It was the first time he heard a direct correlation between Souls and Affinities. Every theory, experiment, and ounce of knowledge had him convinced Affinities were caused by some type of genetic mutation within the Codex. 

But since he was well aware that Tobs would only embellish the truth but never lie, Cynrik felt his mouth go dry, and he realized very quickly that if he did, in fact, attempt to flood the Governess, the only outcome would be a messy red mist covering him from head to toe.

Well, that or an explosion that vaporizes him instantly.

Meanwhile, while Tobs and Cynrik entered a staring contest, things, in reality, had gotten even more Chaotic than anyone could have imagined. 

Haylon's jaw hung open as he stared at the large 100-meter crater on the ground, which had swallowed every one of his minion zombies.

'What the fuck was that light? Where is that Slut? What the FUCK IS HAPPENING?' He screamed in panic while narrowly avoiding an onslaught of speedy sword stabs from the Governor's rapier. 

One of the effects of locking down the area with his Death Mana was anything that died would be reanimated within a certain amount of time. At that point, they only needed Mana and a command from him, and Haylon could raise an entire army instantly. 

However, taking over 49 Tier-3 or higher Corpses took a toll on his MP, which after fighting for well over an hour, was starting to reach dangerous levels. 

In contrast, his HP was still well over 50%, but all that ensured was he wouldn't be instantly killed. When it came to battles between Beings of Tier-5 or higher power, it was complicated to kill them, and more often than not, they would end up with a severe injury that would take tens of years to heal. 

The reason was because of one thing, Divinity. When a being broke through the Second Stage and into the third, it Began condensing its Divinity, which had a numerical value. 

Even if their physical body were destroyed, as long as their Divinity Stat was high enough, all they would need was time and resources to rebuild their body since their Soul had been strengthened to Astronomical levels. 

Sure, the being would be left in a weakened state once their body was destroyed, but unless their opponent had a way to deal Soul Damage or capture their Soul, there was no quick and easy way to kill them completely. 

So although Haylon and the Governor had been fighting for some time, all it amounted to was a war of attrition, with the best-case scenario being the other fleeing with serious injuries. 

Governor Samieer, on the other hand, was in bad shape. From the beginning, he was weaker than Haylon. Between Haylon's superior Affinity and his higher Stats, it took everything the Governor had to stay in the battle. 

Even so, for the first half of the fight, things were relatively manageable, that is, until his Wife got injured and was put out of commission. Once that occurred, he was forced into a defensive position and was eventually caught unaware and off guard when Haylon made a move on his Wife. 

That all changed instantly, though, and it didn't take a genius to understand who was the cause.

The attacks had come from underground, and his Wife had mysteriously vanished before the explosion was triggered; this could only mean one thing. He had helpers aiding him in the shadows, and there was a single Dark Affinity user who could pull off the bait and switch he had seen under the noses of Two Tier-6 individuals. 

'Good kid, see if I don't shower you with praise and rewards when this is over; now I just have to come out of the fight in one piece.' With renewed Vigor, Governor Samieer went on the offensive, unleashing every skill and technique at his disposal.
