[DROP] Supreme World'S System (Supreme World System)
Chapter 162 ~ Mr. X and its Purpose

Above the fighting arena, two people faced each other.

One of the men was shabby and unkempt, around his late 30s.

On the other hand, a handsome young man who had reached mature age looked at the old man before him seriously.

'Who exactly is this old man?!' Zero thought hard in his heart.

'System, have I ever known or met him?'

[Target unknown origin.]

[Cannot identify]

[Can't read information.]

System Response is strange. This has never happened before.

Since System started assimilation «Baby World 81636», in other words this whole world, System does not work well. But it is limited to the commands that make the System act.

In other words, the current System was only able to provide the information Zero needed. But he could still buy an item or something at the System store.

The automatic healing feature also does not work as it did during the God and Transcendent Wars. The system cannot affect the outside world directly.

Zero never said his real name, except to a trusted person. So, as the middle-aged man called out his real name, Zero reacted.

"Who are you, old man? How do you know me?"

Zero made no attempt to hide, so he asked bluntly. But, somehow and how, he felt that something was wrong and strange.

The old man said as he bowed respectfully, "Hey, I told you not to call me 'old man', Mr. (Mister) Zero."

When in the word "Mr. Zero", the old man raised his head and looked at Zero. While Zero did not care, he said again, "Call me X, Mr. X."

Mr. X'S?

Definitely not his real name. Well, let.

Zero spoke, "So, Mr. X, how do you know my real name?"

"Oh, about that, huh? Didn't you tell me yourself?"

'When did I tell you!?' Zero felt like stabbing this person with a sword.

Mr. This X clearly knows that Zero does not remember when to tell his real name.

Although not one hundred percent, it indicates that Mr. X did not know his real name from Crhono Alexander or the others.

"I don't remember if I ever told you about that. But, yeah, whatever."

Zero was still confident in his power that had become the ruler of the universe.

Zero became more relaxed and said, "Then, are we going to fight? I'll beat you up and then look at your memories!"

Mr. X laughed, "Hahaha, you? Defeat me? With your current self, a trillion of you will also never be able to defeat me!"

Zero frowned, 'Isn't this fellow overconfident?'

As if knowing Zero's thoughts, Mr. X stopped his laughter and smiled, "I know. I know you've defeated Zeus, ruler of the L—ahem server, I mean this world."

Zero's expression changed.

Who's Mr. This x?

How did he know that Zero had defeated Zeus, but was still confident?

Immediately, the pieces of the puzzle of unknown shape began to fuse together.

The extremely powerful Space Distortion in Karaztam caused Zero's teleportation point shift to the Forbidden Forest.

The appearance of a man passing through Zero on the streets of the capital in the absence of any air of existence.

One by one the clues began to converge.

Zero snorted and kept his composure, "Huh, aren't you overreacting? A trillion of me can't beat you? No kidding. One is enough!"

Finished speaking, Zero darted towards Mr.'s place. X is. But—

When Zero hits Mr. X, the opponent's body feels like it is empty and becomes a shadow which is Mr. after-image. X.

"What?!"

Zero was surprised, realizing Mr. X is now behind it.

"You ...."

Zero was completely confused and shocked.

'How can? How'd he do it? I didn't see any movement at all!'

Even if Zero suppressed his status, the stats he had were still the culmination of an existence that the Karaztam World could accommodate.

If he exceeds the capacity limit, the Karaztam World will become unstable, resulting in a major natural disaster.

But how could Mr. X moved without being able to be seen by Zero?

Although Mr. X as powerful as Zeus, shouldn't be Mr. X was able to make Zero unable to see his movements. In other words, there is only one possibility, namely Mr. X is stronger than Zeus.

Sweat involuntarily dripped from Zero's face as she turned her back.

Behind him, the shabby middle-aged man stood with a grin on his face.

"Aren't you conscious?" ask Mr. X.

Zero wants to know what Mr. X, but he knew right away.

"—!! W-what-what the fuck!?" zeros shouted in disbelief.

Zero looked around, where the spectators were just to see they were all silent like statues with all sorts of poses.

"Do I need to explain?" ask Mr. X.

Needless to explain, Zero finds out that the audience and the activities are all, except himself and Mr. X, stopped.

Nobody is moving.

Drinks are spilled, the water is stopped in the air.

Birds in the sky, hovering in place.

Zeus, Viona, Barosa and Balph were still watching with their faces as usual.

Zero felt everything stop.

Time has stopped!

'How is it possible!?' zeros shouted inwardly while maintaining calm on the surface.

Mr. X realized that Zero had understood what had happened, so he said, "It seems I don't need to explain. All right, can we start the fight?"

Snaps!

Mr. X flicked his finger, at the same time, time went back on.

Zero could no longer hide the shock.

'He can control time!'

Zero assumes that the reason he can't see Mr.'s movements. X is time has stopped for him.

The commentator again spoke, but was shocked by the sudden change in position. Zero was supposed to be in the east, but their positions changed with Mr. X is now in the east.

"Hows it? Are you still confident?" ask Mr. X flicked his finger again.

Snaps!

Time stopped again.

It is true that the ability to stop time is very strong, but the price must be very large. Just like Theodor the Regressor who returned to the past with many sacrifices instead.

That's Zero's assumption.

'The next question, how far is the stopping time range? Then, what other ability does he have?'

In a very fast time, Zero kept thinking about answering various questions in his mind and anticipating various things.

Then, Zero stalled while thinking, "Alright, I have to admit that you are very strong. Stopping the pace of time is impressive. I myself have not even been able to discover the secrets of the power and laws of time. But, I'm sure the price to pay is too high to stop time."

Mr. X laughed, "You're right, it's expensive. But that's for you, for me, it's a cheap thing."

Zero had a chance to think, 'Is he bluffing?'

But, Zero could not confirm it through expression, breath, gestures and so on.

'If he could really easily stop time, it might be because his range was not far away. If I can get out of the time-stopping radius by teleportation, I'm sure that I can defeat him.'

Mr. X as if knowing Zero's thoughts, he said, "You might think of running away, but I think it will be difficult. The space on the planet is distorted, but it will not damage the objects inside. Merely, it is extremely difficult to enter the Spatial World and your teleportation distance is greatly reduced."

How did he know that? Does that mean he can use Space Power? This guy is not simple! He's very dangerous!

Mr. X continued, "After all, even if you run away, you won't be able to get out of the time-stopping radius. Moreover, aren't you worried about Viona?"

"—!! Irritating*k! What do you really want!"

Hearing her carry Viona's name, Zero felt anger and an extremely strong killing intent gushed forth. Zero did not know where his opponent knew things about him, but the threat from the opponent was enough to make him angry. He was already thinking of anticipating about the rescue of Viona and the others, but it was extremely difficult and troublesome.

Instead of being intimidated by murderous desires, Mr. X just grinned without being affected.

"Ups, sorry, sorry. I wouldn't do such a despicable thing. Just relax."

"....."

Zero simply responded with a sharp and anticipatory gaze. Clenching his teeth, Zero asked, "What's your goal? I don't remember ever meeting you? Do you have a grudge against me?"

"Alright, let me introduce myself once more."

Mysterious energies rolled and rolled up Mr. figure. X. Then, as the mysterious energy disappears, Mr. X changed.

Long blonde hair, her ears extending back and her figure was like a youth of Zero's age.

"Include me, my name is X (Eksu), Mr. X. Well, that's not my real name either, anyway. My goal here is to give you some presents."
