GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS -
Chapter 31 - 31: Manners Maketh Man
Silence!
Silence permeated the training chamber as everyone looked at the tall Patrick, whose figure towered over everyone in the chamber. The Awakened warriors, who had witnessed Michael's power earlier, exchanged gazes as they feared for Patrick. They had seen Michael beat three A-ranks, who were the strongest in the Watson family, yet Michael was able to easily defeat them without the slightest struggle.
So, seeing some unknown man publicly insult Michael only left them in shock. Michael's manager also wasn't an exception; he gave Patrick a "what a fool" look as she shook his head in disappointment. It was as if he already knew what was about to happen next.
'Sigh. Knowing Michael's short temper, he is bound to bring this entire building down if necessary to avenge his anger. It was his short temper that got him in trouble with a strong household once back in the States; if it weren't for the guild master's reputation, he would have caused an even bigger mess.
The guild master saw Michael's potential; that's why, when I spotted him while I was scouting in Dasia ten years ago, the guild master wanted me to recruit him at any cost. But although a genius, Michael is shortsighted and even worse, short-tempered. That's why the guild master assigned me as his manager; that way, I can keep him from causing too much trouble.
He is about to go crazy for sure; should I interrupt? No, I will let this little Watson family witness the true power of our Sky Eagle Guild, and besides, I'm interested in who this young man is and his background. If things go south, I can just claim Michael's short temper and compensate him for being Michael's punching bag.
Huh!? So, Julius and Joseph Watson are also interested in knowing the result. Very well, then. I won't stop you, Michael, so run amok as much as you please; after all, even if you bring down this building in the process, the Watson family doesn't have the balls to even complain, let alone ask us for compensation.'
Dalton Simmons, Michael's manager, internally expressed as he stared at Patrick and Michael with a calculating gaze.
In a control room, Julius and Joseph watched the events happening in the chamber.
"Father, are you sure you don't want me to intervene?" With Michael's temper, he might end up killing the kid. "If we intervene now, we might be able to prevent the matter from escalating. Joseph said it worriedly.
But Julius only remained silent as he stared down in the chamber. He had his gaze on Michael's manager as he thought to himself, 'So, he has noticed us. But why isn't he acting? With his power, he should already know the kid is not Awakened, yet he remains unreactive. Then again, as much as I want to help that king boy, I want to see just what supports his confidence and arrogance.
If he were just a big talker, I would still be able to intervene, and Athena would for sure lose feelings for a weak man who acts big. But my instincts are never wrong; previously, I sensed an unbelievable sense of danger coming from that kid. Such a thing can't be faked, not even by an S-rank. So, King Boy, show me exactly what backs your arrogance. I'm certain you won't disappoint this old man.'
Michael stood in silence with a dark face as he stared at Athena. He was talking to Athena when Patrick spoke, and the shock of him being disrespected was too overwhelming to instantly absorb. But before Michael could say another word, Patrick stepped forward as he walked past Michael, heading toward Dalton.
Another disrespectful act from Patrick caused the scene to fall deeper into silence.
Patrick walked and stopped a foot from Dalton, hands in his pocket as he stared at Dalton with a disappointing gaze. "So, you are the babysitter.
The Sky Eagle Guild must be a shitty childcare facility then, because seeing as you are allowing this little kid to misbehave, you must suck at your job, aren't you, mate?" Patrick said as he leaned forward, scolding the manager and calling him a babysitter.
Dalton's face also became extremely dark as he stood in silence, but he assumed a calm expression as he opened his lips to say, "I- "I could care less about a babysitter." "Now listen up, I'm going to discipline the little man over there, and I want you to observe and take notes on how to discipline disrespectful brats like him in the future, ok?" when he got interrupted by Patrick.
Finished speaking, Patrick turned and walked towards Michael as he spoke. "Hey, you, little man, I will be teaching you some lessons, so like your babysitter, be ready to learn. "First lesson: never call another man's woman "little" or "baby" before them; that is disrespectful," Patrick said as he leisurely approached with his hands in his pocket.
Finally unable to bear the disrespect, Michael tightly clenched his fists as he stared at Athena with a warning gaze. He then said, "I'm going to kill him!" before he flashed and disappeared from his location.
Hearing Michael's threatening words, Athena chuckled as she murmured, "Try surviving against him first."
Michael suddenly flashed and appeared before Patrick, standing in his way. Then with his clenched fists, Michael heavily thrusts his left fist aiming at Patrick's abdomen. But just when Michael's punch was about to reach Patrick, time ceased to exist as Patrick's thought process began, meaning Patrick's thinking state transcends far beyond time.
His realistic system interface emerged before him as he began scrolling through his infinite powers and abilities. Patrick's powers were in levels, and each level had sub-levels, and each sub-level had variations of powers, while each variation had infinite amounts of powers and abilities below that.
In summary, don't bother trying to count how many powers Patrick has, you won't begin to imagine even the least number of basic-level powers.

"I have infinite basic ways I can punish this brat. Including the nine hundred and ninety-nine millinillion* human ways to kill him. Grace, give me an item, this kid isn't even worth toying with, but since I'm bored, I will have fun with him." Patrick said as he diverted his gaze from the interface containing unlimited amounts of his weakest-level powers, at least according to his standards.
He then focused on an interface containing unlimited items, his basic-level-not-even-worth-mentioning gadgets and artifacts.

"Any of these items generate energies too catastrophic for this Omniverse to handle. Of course, I can adjust that, but the guy playing god of this tiny Universe isn't even worth using any of these on, let alone some pathetic mortal brat," Patrick said as he swiped away the interfaces.
"Alpha, give me a random item, King Tech," Patrick said as he lazily stared at Michael, who was currently in a non-existent time state with black and white color effects, as it was for everything, including Athena.
<<<<<<<< Sire, from the fifty-eight billion weapons found in King Tech's archive, the Cell Pulverizing Glove is the weakest, - "No Alpha, this child isn't worthy of a weapon, give me something like a paperclip or pen, nothing flashy." Patrick said with an impassive face.
<<<<<<<< Sire, here is a utility pen created based on one of your blueprints. It has three hundred thousand features, some of which are zero-point energy manipulation, gravity field manipulation, blood control, brainwashing, body explosion, mana restriction, mana absorption, plasma blast, weapon transformation, portal creation, pain inducement, shield generation... >>>>>>>>
"That would do," Patrick said while a black pen materialized in his right hand.
Simultaneously, the scene returned to normal, having its color effect and all. Michael's punch finally reached Patrick, but instead of the expected reaction of Patrick being instantly killed or at least blown away, Patrick stood unreactive and unaffected, his body not even budging an inch.
Silence echoed like a thunderclap; one could even hear a drop of water.
Seeing his attack ineffective, Michael frowned with disbelief, but he reacted quickly as he sent another punch, this time with a strength double that of the previous. But like hitting a sponge, Michael's attack created no impact at all. This second attack only confirmed Michael's disbelief, intensifying his shocked expression.
Like Michael, everyone in the chamber also reacted with disbelief as they stared at Patrick, their minds trying to adapt to the current reality. The manager, Dalton, lost his tranquil expression as his widened eyes expressed his shock.
Julius and Joseph were more shocked; Joseph couldn't help but sit down, as the current scene of the evaluated ordinary Patrick taking a direct hit from a C-rank and remaining standing was too much to comprehend. Julius clenched his fist in excitement as he frantically said, "I knew it! "I knew he was too interesting to disappoint, haha! hahahaha!"
But contrary to everyone's surprised reactions, Athena stood with a proud smile on her face as she stared at Patrick with a look of "That's my man." She couldn't even restrain herself from blushing. What psychopathic woman sees her man brutally crushing another man and blushing with pride? Only Athena.
"You... how?! How is this possible? How come you are still? Michale was exclaiming his shock when his body was enveloped by a white glow and thrown up at the ceiling. A booming sound reverberated in the chamber as people traced Michael's body up the ceiling.
Michael crashed heavily up the ceiling and instantly coughed a mouthful of blood, but before he could even inhale in desperation, another white glow enveloped him, immobilizing his entire body as he was sent crashing down to the ground. Again, Michael coughed another mouthful of blood as he bellowed in pain.
Despite Michael's scream, Patrick didn't allow him a breathing chance; he again pointed the pen at Michael as the zero-point energy manipulation feature formed a white glow over him.
Patrick then pulled Michael closer and said, "Lesson two: don't act high and mighty when you can't back up your arrogance." Patrick said as he smashed Michael on the iron floor, "Just because you punched some A-ranks, and you think you are king? "That's my name, and you are unworthy to even think of yourself as such," Patrick said as he jacked Michael from the ground and pulled him towards himself.
As Michael was flying closer to Patrick, Patrick deactivated the zero-point energy, causing the white glow to disappear from Michael's body. But before Michael could reach six feet closer to Patrick, "Gravity x10," Patrick said when an overbearing gravitational field emerged above Michael as it mercilessly plunged him into the ground.
Michael's body formed on the metallic floor as his body was continually crushed under ten times the force of gravity.
Patrick steadily walked into the ten-times gravity field and stood a foot away from Michael. He stared down at the struggling mortal as he spoke, his words not only aimed at Michael. "Frustrating, isn't it? facing someone smarter and better than you. "Even with your Instant Dodging Awakened ability, you are nothing but a sitting duck before me.
You boast of being nurtured by the Sky Eagle Guild and having the best resources, but your Sky Eagle Guild is as pathetic as you."
Patrick said as he slightly turned and stared at the Sky Eagle guild manager, Dalton. Dalton's face became darker as he listened to Patrick's degrading words. He had his fists clenched in rage, but he was finding it quite hard to feign his calmness.
Patrick mockingly smirked at Dalton's actions as he turned to Michael. He deactivated the gravity field, allowing Michael to inhale like someone starved of oxygen.
Michael, feeling the gravitational pressure gone, suddenly became even more enraged as he bellowed with anger, "You damn bastard, I will kill you!" Michael then lunged at Patrick with a mighty fist, his attack seeming to go for the kill. But before Michael could even stretch his arm, a portal appeared before and on his left face as his punch went through one and emerged from the one near his face.
Boom, Michael punched himself away from the scene as his body flew and crashed three miles away. Laying on the dented surface, Michael expressed his disbelief as he spat out a mouthful of thick blood. 'What?! "My attack was redirected at myself." He exclaimed internally as he slowly began to realize something.
But then, when Michael saw Patrick standing above him with an impassive face, shame and unacceptance suddenly boiled up in Michael's blood as his body erupted with verdant mana. But amid his mana eruption, Michael felt his mana energy suddenly shutting down like a defused bulb. A look of absolute despair washed up Michael's face as he tried to scream in trepidation.
But he also felt his voice box seal, preventing him from even making the faintest grunt.
"Lesson three: don't go around embarrassing my woman, your cousin, by cursing and saying bad words like "kill" and "bastard," in public. How would you expect her to be proud of you in public later? For such misbehavior, I will relay three words to you: "Listen very attentively."
Patrick said as the black pen gradually transformed into a long leather belt. Holding the belt, Patrick began smacking Michael as he spoke after each smack.
"Manners," Smack! "Maketh," Smack! "Man," Smack!
