[Reporting to Boss – the main system has been detected.]
Lonemoon took a closer look at the huge thing. Faintly, he could sense that its power was comparable to that of managers. The only difference was that this thing contained a mess of powers – the power it had was not as pure as managers’. It was a combination of power from all different sources. And the strongest point was in the centre of the thing.
“There are so many systems. What do we do now?” Lonemoon asked. He instinctively suggested, “Why not we look for an entrance to this thing? We can make our way quietly inside of it.” This main system had to have a main power switch, right?
“Why do you want to go inside?” Shen Ying tilted her head, asking in a very serious tone.
“nonsense – what else can we do?” The core of this huge thing was located right in the middle f it.
“Why can’t we just kill it?”
“Ah?”” Lonemoon paused. Before he could react, Shen Ying had already appeared by one of the hands of the huge thing. She reached out and caught the hand, making sure that she got a tight grip on it.
“Wait, what are you doing?!” Holy shit, are you really just going to kill it like that?
In a flash, the countless busy systems stopped working. It was almost like Shen Ying had hit a pause button on the entire system. They all turned to face her.. The patch of green lights turned red at once. They looked almost like little red eyes, glaring in Shen Ying’s direction.
Indeed, one by one, their in-built alarm bells began to ring.
“Shen Ying!” Lonemon’s heart stopped. He reached out to pull her back. Before he could even reach her, she gave a sharp tug on the arm that she was holding. There was a solid crack. A blinding white light flashed past them. Shen Ying had plucked the huge arm right off the thing’s body.
The huge primary system began to twist and turn. It waved its arms around, trying to attack the three invaders. Even the countless ant-like systems began to head toward the three of them.
Despite this, Shen Ying continued to look lay. She used the coarse arm in her own hands like a rope. She turned around and waved it at the little systems. With a loud crash, something exploded. A flurry of colours appeared in front of them. The many systems and hands on the primary system began to explode one by one, scattering all over the place.
Still, Shen Ying did not stop waving the arm in her hands around. Instead, she turned around and headed straight for the huge primary system’s body. There was another loud crash. The impact caused the huge pile of waste to stumble backward. There was a series of cracking sounds as huge cracks began to appear on the huge system’s body. From top to bottom, the entire body became covered in cracks. Huge amounts of its energy turned into remnant souls which escaped from within. Faintly, they could see the score on the inside of the system.
“Alright, we don’t have to enter now!” Shen Ying said.
Lonemoon: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
o(╯□╰)o
Shit! What a violent cheat! Indeed, everything seemed like paper tigers in front of the cheat.
With just a few moves, Shen Ying seemed to destroy something important. The primary system twisted and turned around, making strange electronic noises. Even the countless little systems were scattering in all directions.
Lonemoon’s heart sank before he finally reacted. He turned to Yi Qing and said, “Chef, quick, stop these systems!” They could not allow them to invade yet another plane, otherwise the consequences would be dire.
Yi Qing took no time at all to react. With a flash, he retreated to the end of the space. He created a huge fire wall which headed toward the countless little systems. There were loud roars. Every system that came into contact with the fire wall was reduced to ash.
The fire wall became taller and taller. Suddenly, it looked like the ground had become lava. Since the place was so huge, Chef had to turn into a phoenix in order to seal off all the exits. Only by turning into a phoenix could he create a fire wall big enough to control the primary system and all the little systems.
Lonemoon summoned his immortal sword and waved it around as well. Each time he waved his sword, he killed off more than ten systems. The army of little systems was being reduced in size by the second.
Shen Ying, however, stood rooted to the ground. She looked up at the cracks on the main system’s body, then scanned the chaos all around her. Narrowing her eyes, she tapped on the parenting system that was floating beside her.
“My personal system.”
[Yes, Boss! What instructions do you have!]
“Scan the energy levels of all the systems over here…”
[Yes, Boss! No problem, Boss! Scan in progress… Discovered 50 billion plus… Energy is about a B standard… Discovered strange powers… Data grades surpass SSS…. Reporting to Boss – there seems to be a problem here…”
“Display it.”
[Yes, Boss!]
The parenting system let out a soft beep. A white line appeared on the blue screen. It pointed toward a dark area on tShen Ying’s right. On the forehead area of a little ball that looked just about as green as every other little system around it, there was a red warning light.
Lonemoon, who had been fighting the countless little systems, suddenly realised what Shen Ying was up to. He paused and asked, “What is this?”
“Its true form,” Shen Ying responded. “The main system’s!”
“What!” Lonemoon stared blankly at the huge thing in the centre of the entire space. He turned back to the little system that had been singled out and said, “He can move to any system in here!”
“Mm.” Shen Ying nodded.
“Holy shit!” Lonemoon cursed under his breath. He raised up his sword once again and flew toward the singled out little system. The system did not have a body, therefore they had no choice but to capture its soul. He should have known that the so-called main system would not have a physical body. That was why it could transfer to any little system that it wanted to.
It was no wonder that Shen Ying took action without any further thought. If they had entered the system’s body secretly, they might not have been able to catch the main system. Much worse – it could have changed bodies and escaped. From the beginning, they had to get rid of every single system. That was why it made more sense to immediately trap all of them.
The amount of power that the main system had was frightening. It was comparable to that of an ordinary manager. However, after what Shen Ying did, the main system seemed to be on the verge of falling apart. Even the supplementary systems were trying to escape from the space. Now, on further thought, it seemed like the main system was doing this on purpose. It knew that it was no match for Shen Ying. That was why it was creating so much chaos – it was supposed to be a distraction so that it could get away.
Indeed, the moment Lonemoon headed for that one supplementary system, the others seemed to receive some sort of orders. All of them turned and headed toward Lonemoon instead. Suddenly, they formed a green wall that attempted to stop him from advancing.
Lonemoon conjured a sword array and caused hundreds of thousands of immortal swords to fly toward the wall of green systems. He headed straight for the body of the main system. His sword landed right in the middle of it. But before he could heave a sigh of relief, the supplementary systems began to multiply before his eyes.
[Ding! Target moved once again!]
The parenting system’s screen went dark. Suddenly, it pointed to another little green ball just a few metres away from them.
It moved again!
The parenting system was good! Lonemoon’s heart leaped. He suddenly felt the urge to pay its allowance. Suppressing the urge, he turned and headed for the new target.
