Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

The crazy woman was on the ground with Ning holding her hands behind her, keeping her from leaving.

She struggled, but she wasn't as strong now that she had used most of her mana on the attack previously.

"Ely! Do you have something for me?" Ning asked as Ely flew down close to him.

"Yes," She said as she brought out a plate from her interdimensional space. She threw the golden place toward the girl and Ning backed out.

The plate fell on top of her head and quickly expanded to become massive, nearly 5 meters in diameter.

Like a piece of cloth, it fell on the woman while spinning as it wrapped itself around the woman. When the woman was fully wrapped, she was suddenly squished on herself as the cloth went back to becoming a plate from before.

Only this time, the woman was trapped inside of it.

"Not bad," Ning said as he walked towards her.

"Of course," Ely said. "It's one of my best artifacts after all." She looked at the plate in her hand now and frowned a little. "I can't put something with a soul into my storage. What do I do with this?"

Ning took it from her. "I will take it for now," he said as he slid it into his robes.

Suddenly, the plate flew out from his hand and landed on the hand of another one. Both Ely and Ning quickly turned around to find someone standing next to them whom they could not sense there at all.

"You are not him, are you?" the… thing asked.

6 tentacles waved around like wings from its back while its head looked like that of a goat, only without any skin on it. The muscles wriggled on its face and the black cloak it wore was more black fog than cloth.

Ning couldn't even tell if this thing had legs or arms at all as they were all hidden, even from its spiritual sense.

The golden plate suddenly broke open, and the girl they had just captured fell to the ground. She coughed a bit and looked up to see the black figure.

"Master!" she shouted.

"I have no need for you," the thing said as moved its slimy hands that came out of the fog. It suddenly wrapped around the woman, and Ning could visibly see strains of light move out of the woman, and into the thing's body.

He was taking back the power he had loaned.

At the same time, a few other hands grabbed the woman, as well as her power, was even more drained away.

Ning watched in surprise as he realized that he had been wrong about his assumption before. He had assumed that someone had given her a lot of their power to make her this strong, but as he could see, he was obviously wrong.

'They all gave her a piece of their power,' he thought. 'Damn, that's what I said I was given.'

"Where is he?" the first Constellation that had arrived asked.

"I am right here," Ning said, while covertly telling Ely to run away. Ely didn't hesitate as she ran away very, very fast.

One of the Constellations nearly moved to grab her, but on second thought, there was no need for that. There was nothing Ely could do that could be of harm to them.

"You are not him," the Constellation said. "You don't have his power."

"Is that so, Briss?" Ning asked. "Do you want to see my power?"

The Constellation hesitated for a bit. "You do sound like him, your attitude is the same, and you even know my name," Briss said. "But you don't have his power. You didn't even notice me when I came here. The other man would've noticed me right away. Tell me, where is he?"

"Why do you ask?" Ning asked. "Are you that in a hurry to die? I have remembered you all, so soon you will die. Just like I killed Stryxus."

"You really do sound like him," another constellation spoke. "Are you sure this guy is not it?"

"He can't be," another one said. "Just look at his pitiful strength. He had to struggle with someone that we barely gave any strength to."

Ning frowned as he looked at the nearly dozen or so Constellations that were there. He couldn't help but wonder which ones they were. He took a gamble.

"Do your Apostles know you were involved in today's attack?" Ning asked.

"Why would we care if they know?" Briss asked. "They are our slaves and do what we say. Although, I suppose not for much longer."

Ning couldn't help but frown at what they meant. However, he knew they weren't going to kill them. Of course, that didn't mean they couldn't hurt them, but they would have to fight against their own power to do so if they wanted to.

After all, Constellation Wills could not kill or hurt anyone intentionally or directly normally.

That was why they used stuff like Dungeons and Demons to do their bidding. If they could do something on their own, they would have already gone to worlds and wreaked havoc on them and become the dictatorial god of that land.

Instead, they have to do sneak stuff like corrupting mana or manipulating them, or turning them into slaves via someone intermediary.

But that sort of restriction only meant that the Constellations had learned to get around it, and Ning was afraid this was one such thing.

"What are you planning on doing?" Ning asked with a worried look on his face.

"I told you not to reveal the magic circles into the world. Now, they know it works and with it, our value as gods will severely lower," Briss said. "We can't  let you have that."

"So, instead of trying to help this world by giving you apostles, we will now harm it," Briss said.

Ning's eyes went wide as he looked at the 12 or so Constellation there. "We?" he asked.

Suddenly, more and more gods started popping up around them as Briss looked at him with a crazy smile.

"Yes, we," he said. "All of us."
