Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System - Chapter 1001: The Internal System Dimens

[So she had used it.]

Suddenly, I heard the voice of the System within my mind.

"System? What's going on?"

[Kate has channeled her power over System Magic and accidentally interfered in the System's structure…]

"Eh?! Damn it… Kate! Stop this!"

[No, wait!]

However, the System stopped me.

[Didn't I told you this was the path towards unlocking more of the System's true powers?]

"Well, you did said that but… where exactly am I?"

I looked around and there was just blackness everywhere, the pixels had disappeared.

[Right at the entrance of my own core, the System Core as I call it. It is a realm you briefly visited which is also the structure of the Divine System. The path that my previous self left behind must be here, but it probably only activates through the power of her child, Kate.]

"Right… Well, she's technically you and…"

[I know but it feels more comfortable for me to just treat her as my previous self… Let's not make it more complicated for the moment.]

"Okay, I get it… So where do I go- Huh?"

"Pap… Papa?"

Suddenly, I heard the soft voice of Kate, as she slowly materialized out of countless white and blue pixels in front of me, her tiny body floating around, guiding me into the depths of the darkness.

"Papa…"

"Kate?"

She pointed at somewhere using her tiny finger.

"Alright, I guess you already figured it out, huh?"

She nodded cutely.

"Mama… there."

Woah, she spoke nicely there. I guess… she knows Benladann is not her real mom then? Well, she still loves her as one.

"You think so?"

She nodded again.

"Alright, let's go. Hold my hand."

I quickly grabbed her tiny hand as we flew across the darkness, quickly reaching a strange place, it looked as if the entire darkness was slowly cracking, several pixels showing everywhere.

"What is this place?"

[It appears to be one of the many… unrepaired areas. My authority cannot reach this as it is within depths too far within the interdimensional structure of the System.]

"Woah, woah, hold on. Interdimensional?" I asked.

[Well, yeah… You see, the System is a special structure made up of many dimensional runes, which formed once you were reincarnated through the excess cosmic energy emitted by your body and soul when you went through the World Layers of your previous world into the world of Yggdrasil. The reason Wishes become powers is due to such excess cosmic energy channeling and turning into these powers people wish for. The voice they heard must be their own self-conscious taking the decisions… I think.]

"Oh, I see… I guess I had heard a bit of this… So that's how it truly happens… So when I was reincarnated, it created a dimension inside of my soul?"

[It is minuscule, this is why we can't enter with physical bodies, only souls.]

"I see… Well, alright. For now, what can we do?"

[I assume that as we repair these parts, new things that were previously deleted might reemerge, such as… my previous memories.]

Her memories… It is one of the things I want back the most. If we can really get them back then… Ah, I don't know if I would ever want anything else anymore.

"Alright then, Kate, do you think you can help me repair this hole?"

Kate looked around and pointed her tiny hands at it.

Suddenly, countless pixels emerged one after the other, covering the large hole and then slowly repairing and restructuring it!

"It is working!" I said.

Kate seemed happy, as if she had found herself a new mission. She continued expanding more and more pixels until it was halfway done. After that, she felt too tired.

"Awuh…" She sighed, as I hugged her.

"Too much now? Don't push yourself." I said, kissing he forehead. "I wonder if I can do something myself. If I just make her do everything it will take a while and also will exhaust her too much…"

[I cannot bring my complete authority here, but by channeling it through your Astral Projection, an avatar of your soul, it might be possible… Also, Kate is your daughter but also counts as a Divine Spirit of the System, have you tried channeling her elemental power and give her your divine power? Perhaps like that, it might be possible to hasten the pace and also not tire her out too much.]

"You're a genius...! Alright, Kate, let's concentrate for a bit."

"Papa?"

Kate seemed confused but agreed. I quickly closed my eyes, concentrating and trying to find the connection I had with Kate.

FLASH!

A strong thread of divine power suddenly materialized in front of our sight; it connected my own heart with her… There were also another two threads, one was red and the other pink, probably for both Belle and Rose.

"There it is… Now, I'll give you only a single digit of divine power to try it out."

I quickly gave Kate 1 Divine Power, as she absorbed it like a vacuum, she raised her eyebrows but nothing special happened.

"Can you handle more?" I wondered.

She nodded happily.

"Alright, let's try… 5 for now…"

5 was also fine. Then 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 100… Kate could take hundreds, thousands, and then, I ended giving her 10k Divine Power. That seemed to be the most she could take, and the strongest she felt too, she was radiating a powerful white aura all around her body.

"Fix!" She said, as she suddenly channeled her power not only within her hands, but in my own hands!

FLASH!

White and blue pixels emerged in my own hands, as I was able to grasp a piece of the puzzle that was comprehending the Affinity of the System Attribute!

With her help, we began repairing the hole together, and we were almost finishing it!

However… suddenly, I felt a strangely ominous feeling.

[Drake, Kate watch out!]

The System panicked, as I quickly saw two enormous red eyes glaring down from across the hole.

"Kate!"

I quickly grabbed Kate without thinking it twice, flying away as an enormous spider-like leg tore apart the patch we created in a single second, and quickly began to make black and red pixels spread everywhere!

"What the heck is this?!" I asked in shock.

[That's… A Monster? But how…? This doesn't make any sense!]

Not even the System could predict this.

"SHAAAA!"

From within the hole, the enormous spider made of pixels emerged, emanating a black and ominous aura… What sort of foe is this even?!

"Muh!"

However, Kate was not as doubtful as I was, quickly freeing herself from my arms and confronting the Giant Virus Spider.
