CHAPTER 226: [UNIVERSAL TEAM MODULE SYSTEM]

Having regained perfect control over his body, Nash easily updated the [Combat Module System].

The other auxiliary module systems, from [Control], [Training], [Memory], [Disguise], and [Parallel], followed suit.

However, the remaining modules, especially [Overlimit], [Sensing], and [Recovery], gave Nash a hard time.

Integrating his tempered void energy into these module systems wasn’t something he could finish in a day or two.

With the task of creating a universal module system for his team still ahead, Nash had to shelve all but the [Overlimit Module System].

Everything else could wait, but not his core skill and trump card.

---

A week later, after a focused work, Nash finally adapted the [Overlimit Module System] to his tempered void energy.

[Overlimit Module System:

Void Saturation Amplification: 30x

Duration: 1000 seconds

Void Tempering Amplification: 5x

Duration: 100 seconds]

"Huh~ This should be enough..." Nash sighed, unable to increase the amplification further.

The 30x amplification to his void saturation was the absolute limit his body could bear.

Any more, and the saturated void energy in his body would disintegrate from too much pressure.

As for the limit of the void tempering amplification, Nash could do nothing about it.

A fivefold amplification was the maximum output his mastered runic programs could achieve.

Though he knew his tempered void energy could withstand more pressure, he lacked the skill to increase it further.

"I guess it’ll be a while before I can improve this..."

Mastering runic commands was a long process.

Even with a thousand parallel consciousnesses working day and night, analyzing changes in the runic commands within the runic space, they had only identified over a hundred thousand.

The more he mastered, the more complex the others became.

Unable to improve it further, Nash could only be content.

More importantly, he needed to focus on creating the universal module system for his team.

Only three weeks remained before they ventured into the Dark Plane.

"Hah~ Time for another grind..."

Opening the universal runic program file, Nash began comprehending and piecing it together to create a viable module system for his team.

The universal module system didn’t need to be too complex.

It only had to serve as a communication hub, provide real-time status analysis, and track individual positioning.

As his first attempt at a module system for others, Nash kept his ambitions modest, avoiding a massive project.

Remote communication and positioning could be easily achieved, using his golden runic core as an anchor and relay.

The status analysis only required the capabilities of his runic detection and runic panel.

With no difficulty in terms of functionality, Nash’s only challenge was ensuring it worked for its users.

Wracking his brain for ideas, the [Universal Team Module System] began to take shape.

---

A month later, after Nash entered the Dark Beast Tower.

Exiting his room, his lips curved into a clear smile of victory.

After a month of fighting, the [Combat Module System] had conquered over seven thousand new levels.

Though far from his goal of reaching the 30,000th level, there wasn’t enough time.

Besides this, he had successfully created the [Universal Team Module System] with great success.

Eager to test its effectiveness, Nash quickly met up with Van Gage, Banabe, and Hassan.

"Good to see you, Captain! How’s your level? Did you reach 15,000?" Van Gage asked, teasing.

Reaching the first 10,000 levels last time had taken them over two months, let alone the levels beyond.

If Nash had advanced even a thousand levels, Van Gage would already be impressed.

"I’m now at over level 17,000."

"Huh? What did you say, Captain? Over Level 17,000?!"

"How’s that possible? Are you joking?"

"Captain’s lying! Unless you show us proof, we won’t believe it."

"Haha, here. See for yourself," Nash chuckled, showing them his level.

[Dark Beast Tower:

Challenger: Noir

Level: 17,345]

"It’s really over Level 17,000!"

Seeing the panel, they quickly believed Nash’s words.

But thinking of their own progress, they felt a bit defeated.

After grinding for a month without rest, they hadn’t even cleared 500 levels beyond 10,000.

The levels above 10,000 weren’t just about fighting and killing but involved various missions and tasks they needed to fulfill.

Unless they could brute-force their way through, each level took hours, sometimes a full day, to complete.

Sighing at the vast gap, they still felt joy inside, praising their wisdom for joining such a powerful captain.

With such strength, their captain shouldn’t be weaker than Skylar, perhaps even stronger!

Holding such a firm belief, they didn’t think anyone in the same realm could surpass their monstrous captain.

"Stop dawdling, let’s return to my residence," Nash urged.

Only three days remained before they ventured into the Dark Plane.

With no time for leisure, Nash hurried them along as they bolted toward Auralis I.

...

Auralis I, Crescent Starfall

In the field, the thirteen talents, including Camilla, stood at attention.

"Not bad. It seems all of you successfully advanced to Void Commander Rank," Nash said, nodding in satisfaction.

Polishing their foundation and advancing to Void Commander Rank in just a month proved they were indeed the cream of the crop in the Nova Sector.

Camilla, in particular, had benefited from his constant guidance. By analyzing every issue she faced, Nash helped her successfully temper 100% of her void energy.

With a perfectly tailored manual, her 100% void tempering granted her combat power in the millions.

Once she tempered all her void energy, she could even have 10 million combat power, the theoretical limit.

Sweeping his gaze over the group, Nash began to announce the team’s official formation.

"Since you’ve all passed my trial, I now declare you official members of the Dark Shadow Squad!"

Hearing his announcement, the twelve talents couldn’t help but clench their fists in excitement.

Though they were simple words and a mere title, they were proof of Nash’s recognition.

"Alright, calm down. There’s still something important to do. For this, you need to stay completely still."

"In a moment, I’ll send a stream of foreign energy into your bodies. You must focus and not resist."

"Don’t worry, this energy will only interact with your external void interior and won’t affect you otherwise," Nash added, easing any fears of manipulation or control.

Seeing them nod, understanding his instructions, Nash began the operation...
