As the Night Ranger System had conveniently modified the goldfish's ability, adding onto the fusion that Shika was capable of attaining, it wouldn't be polite if he remained silent after all that.

The advantage of sharing all senses with her was that he was able to experience everything that she did. And this included her fusing the mutated beast's abilities to condense a powerful one and her action of opening and closing her dimensional storage.

She had done it more than enough times that Compass Carburettor had gotten accustomed to it, grasping it completely.

And now, using plunder, he targeted two things simultaneously.

First was the Night Ranger System's Mental Energy. Of course, as it had already fused with her body, its reserve of Mental Energy should be stored somewhere within her. There was also the option of dispersing it throughout her body, like his Mental Energy form.

Normally, Mental Energy wasn't tangible to anyone that wasn't a System—this also included System Slayers that could affect Mental Energy.

But, since its enemy was a System Slayer, it decided to be careful about it, hiding it in a more secure place. And, that was her dimensional storage. This was the most secure, and the chances of it getting targeted by any mysterious means available to a System Slayer was almost none.

But now, Compass Carburettor targeted the dimensional storage itself.

This wouldn't have been possible without either of Dita's or the goldfish's ability. The goldfish was able to swallow anything and process it into the desired product. And, Dita was able to devour or plunder mutated beasts from another's space.

Fusing them both allowed him to plunder Shika's space and make it his. This was expertly done using both the abilities perfectly. Of course, if it wasn't due to the Night Ranger System's painstaking modification of the goldfish, it would have been impossible.

It had modified the goldfish to obtain Mental Energy, to benefit its growth. Due to this, the goldfish obtained a channel towards Mental Energy, able to produce it in its body. And conversely, it was also able to swallow the same.

And now, all he did was use it against the Night Ranger System, plundering the dimensional storage itself. And with it came all the Mental Energy stored within.

Even though the Night Ranger System was flustered, it was incapacitated by the laws of Earth, unable to take action for the time being. It would remain in such a state for at least a few more seconds.

Before that, Compass Carburettor smiled, "And it's done!"

He then exited her space, appearing before her, startling her. But, when Shika tried to open her dimensional storage, she found out to her horror that it wasn't there. Similarly, as he had already killed her other two mutated beasts, she was unable to summon them even after swallowing a couple of pearls that she kept within the pouch hung on her hip.

"Farewell, Shika." Saying so, he condensed a pair of wings behind him, observing her expression widen as all the feathers flew out and homed at her. She had barely jumped away from the bed when the feathers slammed into her, causing a resounding boom.

Without any Mental Energy, the System's natural protection against sure kill attacks didn't work, allowing her to take damage. Moreover, she didn't have any offensive abilities to use, only having to rely on her attributes to move.

But, his feathers had a homing function and were tremendously fast, not to mention the narrow space. Also, just when she planned to jump through the wall, Shika stared to her disbelief, watching a transparent hand holding her legs, its colour similar to the pair of Spydragons that she had been chasing after before.

"What…what is…this is…this doesn't…" She stuttered as she was blown into smithereens.

"Phew," Compass Carburettor sighed in relief, watching the body of the Night Ranger System slowly beginning to condense over the pieces of her body.

He removed the node of Secret Society from Grisha, watching Mental Energy pour into his body once again as he used Anthozoa to suck in the body of the Night Ranger System.

Appearing in his mental space, he gazed at a humanoid shadow that slumped on the ground, still in disbelief, "How…is this possible?"

"I wanted to ask about it myself." Compass Carburettor walked closer to it a little, noticing that its figure was ten times bigger than him, "Why did you never look into Shika's space?"

"Shika's space?" The massive shadow was surprised as its eyes widened, "Right, why didn't I do that? No, every time I thought of doing it, I coincidentally became aware of some other issue that I had neglected before. Then I forgot under the excitement of my Host's enlightenment."

It sighed, muttering, "Coincidentally…hah!"

"Any last words?" Compass Carburettor asked.

"To a System Slayer?" It gazed at him, snorting in response, "Fuck you, bastard. You'll suffer sooner or later anyway."

"Alright, cya~" He smiled in response as Earth manifested behind him and began to bombard the massive shadow, destroying it rapidly like bullets being shot into a mud wall.

With all its Mental Energy stolen, it didn't have the means to resist him. It was defeated wholly.

After attacking it nonstop for some time, Compass Carburettor stopped when only its core remained, asking, "Are you sure your decision is final? I can still send you into someone else's body as long as you answer one question."

"Ha…haha…hahaha!" Suddenly, the Night Ranger System began to laugh, "You want to know about the various ways Rhizen was killed? Fat chance! Even the Coincidental Luck System doesn't trust others with that information, not to mention me. No matter what, I'll never betray my race."

"Interesting, so the secret involves your race's weakness or something?" Compass Carburettor muttered, watching the Night Ranger System's expression collapse as he waved his hand, "That was all I needed from you. I'll interrogate the next System. Farewell."

The bombardment continued until it was snuffed out of existence.

Returning to reality, Compass Carburettor waited an hour for a bullet to form in his gun while he focused on his Mental Energy Form, focusing as he moulded a tendril and slowly extended it, connecting it with a massive source of Mental Energy within him.

System Fragment—Night Ranger!

The Mental Energy Form directed Anthozoa towards the new space that had appeared in his body. Since it was plundered by using the goldfish's relation to Mental Energy, this space had appeared in his Mental Energy Form.

And now, he shot the System Fragment of Night Ranger into it, allowing it to absorb it; it stabilised immediately, becoming permanent within him, as it belonged to the Night Ranger System Host in the first place, having been one.

He had sacrificed an entire System Fragment to stabilise this, but he didn't feel it was a loss, rather felt that it was worth it.

After all, he now had a growing space within him, one that could store anything, including Mental Energy, instantly exploding the amount of Mental Energy he could contain with him.

'It's decided, the advantage is too great now.' He nodded, smiling, 'I'll use Permanence before I leave this world.'

Upon gazing at the sea of Mental Energy churning within the dimensional storage, he couldn't help but laugh aloud, giddy, "Now, I have the qualifications to fight against stronger foes."
