With the parenting system’s assistance, no matter where the main system moved, a red warning side would appear on the machine it was in. What’s more, Chef’s fire wall was closing in on all the systems and Lonemoon had set up multiple sword arrays within in. All around, the supplementary systems were being taken down. They were being constantly reduced in number until there were only a few of them left.
The main system seemed to have realised this. The red warning light above one of the supplementary systems suddenly disappeared. The coarse arms of the huge thing in the middle began to move once again.
[Ding! Reporting to Boss – the target has reverted to its original position.]
The huge plane-tree-looking main system suddenly shot out beams of eye-blinking green light. They resembled lasers, which swept toward the three of them. Everything that the beams of light touched seemed to explode. The beams also seemed to carry with them the aura from the source.

It’s collecting all the source powers to attack us!
Lonemoon exclaimed. He turned and ran toward Yi Qing, who was still controlling the fire wall.
Chef, quick, avoid these-




There’s no need!
Shen Ying interjected. In a flash, she jumped in front of the laser beams. The beams were so close to touching her. Shen Ying stretched out her hand. Immediately, the beams reflected off her hand, as if she was holding a mirror. There were a series of cracks. The smell of something burning filled the air.
Then, they heard a loud crash. The main system, which had been covered in huge cracks, had been hit. A big hole had been blown into its huge body by its own green light.

We can enter now!
Shen Ying pointed toward a huge crack
Lonemoon:
…

Yi Qing:
…

You’re unbelievable!
凸(艹皿艹)
Was this what she called entering the body? She freaking ripped the system apart! It was the worst method of ripping the machine apart, at that!
Shen Ying took one huge step into the center of the system. Lonemoon and Yi Qing exchanged a meaningful look before following her into the machine.
The moment they entered the crack, everything around them changed. The darkness was gone. Instead, they found themselves in pure white territory. There was nothing but light in that place. Faintly, they could feel thick energy from the plane’s source floating in front of them.


Indeed, the next thing they knew, a figure appeared before their eyes. The aura was condensing to form a human figure. The person floated in mid-air. The man was of average height and dressed in black robes. His gaze was cool, yet his face showed no expression. Without opening his mouth, an electronic voice echoed throughout the surroundings. .

Invaders from a low-grade plan – how dare you challenge the main god. You must give over your souls as the price!


Invaders?
Lonemoon looked at the man in mid-air, amused.
Aren’t you the one going around and invading other planes?

The man frowned, as if very angry. The electronic voice sounded once again, but did not say anything in response to Lonemoon.
You’ve entered my main god’s space. Nobody will be able to defend themselves against me.

Main god’s space?!
Lonemoon hesitated. Did it lure them here on purpose? He instinctively tried to check his connection with his own plane. Where he could freely form the connection before, he found that he could not now. It was almost as if someone had torn the connection apart.
His chest tightened. Before he could think of another solution, the electronic voice sounded again.
[Successfully adjusted the source’s power. Get ready to redeem the souls. Beginning redemption…]
A huge wind blew past them. There was a series of crashes. Then, they felt a huge suppressive force press down on them Lonemoon’s heart sank. He tightened his grip on the immortal sword in his hands. The force was getting closer and closer… Closer and closer…
Then, it brushed past them…


-_-


Lonemoon, Chef, Shen Ying and the parenting system were still standing steadily at their original positions. The force could not even push them out of place, much less steal their souls.
The three of them:
…

What a scary soul-redemption machine…
╮(╯_╰)╭
[Redemption failed! Increasing power to 70% for second attempt. Beginning redemption…]
There was again the series of crashes, then a suppressive force. Then…
The force brushed past them once again!
The three people stood exactly where they were.
[Redemption failed1 Increasing power to 90% for third attempt…]


Once again, the force came toward them and…
Once again, it brushed past them!
The three of them were standing so still that they resembled dead dogs.
[Redemption failed. Increasing power to 100% for fourth attempt…]

Are you just about done!
Lonemoon pursed his lips. He could not keep silent any longer.
Blow, blow, blow… What are you blowing at! Do you think you’re an electronic fan?!

He must have been mistaken to think that this main system was that powerful. He forgot that the system was not even a manager. It was only a machine that stole the source powers from various planes, before donating them all into this central machine. WIth so many different types of powers, it was good enough that the machine could maintain its outer appearance of power. Of course it would not be able to succeed in stealing the souls of actual managers.
This thing probably had not even discovered their identities!
[Detected an unknown life! Unable to analyse its data! Unable to analyse…]
The main system let out several booms. It was the sound of it getting stuck..

Lives that cannot be matched to any one plane. What… are you?



Lonemoon:
…

Yi Qing:
…

Shen Ying:
…

It really did not know who they were?
o(╯□╰)o
It was no wonder that the invader’s system 001 kept talking about being discovered by the Heavenly Dao before, but never the Manager. It had no idea about managers, did it? Then everything this man was saying about being in the main god’s space was just empty threats?
THe parenting system was right – this really was a low-grade system. It deserved to be eliminated!
Lonemoon frowned as a gust of sword Qi shot out of him and toward the figure in mid-air. The figure seemed to flicker before dropping down onto the floor.

A hologram?
Yi Qing frowned. He conjured a wind seal and caused a strong wind to blow past them. It was even stronger than the three gusts of wind that the main system blew at them earlier. The white clouds dissipated and everything turned dark once again.
A green light appeared in front of them. It was surrounded by countless codes. The source was a mess of all different colours. Its energy felt extremely thick. It was almost comparable to the source of ordinary planes. It looked like that was the core of the main system. .
Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and started heading toward the core.
[Wait! Don’t touch the core!]
An electronic voice filled the surroundings. It sounded much more panicked than the emotionless voice they heard earlier.
[I’m going to complete my physical body soon. I’m going to become the strongest eternally living thing! Don’t destroy my core!]
A physical body?
Lonemoon frowned. The eternally living thing aside – was this thing drilling holes in all the different planes just to create a physical body? He turned around and stared at the little square floating beside Shen Ying obediently. Speaking of this… Was it so difficult to get a physical body?
( ̄△̄;)
[Stop! Stop that now!}
The main system was getting panicky now.
Shen Ying got closer and closer. She reached out to grab the mess that was the source. Suddenly, she felt a weight pulling her hand down. It was almost like something had grabbed her by the hand and pulled her arm down. An amused male voice spoke beside her ear.

This is such an interesting thing. Don’t you think it would be a pity to ruin it?
