"I [harmonize] [harmonize] [harmonize]..."
Chapter Ninety-Five: Two Superpowers
Chapter Ninety-Five
Chang Yan stared at his own system in shock, his heart filled with turmoil.
Are you sure you've deleted most of your emotional processing? I get the feeling you're incredibly cunning!
Seemingly sensing Chang Yan's inner turmoil, the system turned to him and explained:
"Please rest assured, host. Our advanced system is different from those inferior, flawed products. We cannot lie to you. Of course, if your question concerns your safety, we will refuse to answer in order to ensure your safety."
"Although I really don't want to agree with what he said, what he said is indeed true, Ye Ming. Some systems either harm their own hosts or directly take over the host's body. These kinds of things will self-destruct within a few days due to the hidden backdoor program."
Although she loathed the Strange Object System, the little girl still earnestly explained it to Ye Ming.
"Uh (⊙o⊙)...I understand, thank you. But what about this traitor you mentioned? So what if he's teaming up with the main god? I've hunted down quite a few reincarnators before, they were all a bunch of parasites, but this one is an exception, that skeleton mage is really powerful."
Seemingly recalling the suffering he had endured at Lucien's hands, Ye Ming gave a few bitter laughs.
"How stupid."
The system suddenly cursed at Ye Ming, but the little girl didn't refute it; she just gritted her teeth and glared at the system.
The atmosphere began to become subtle.
"What exactly happened, Xiaoling?"
Seemingly sensing something, Ye Ming frowned and asked the little girl a question.
"..."
The little girl just kept gritting her teeth and didn't say a word.
"If she won't say it, I will, host of the two-dimensional transmigration system. Do you know why all the other systems besides me are targeting reincarnators?"
The system's casual remark stirred up a storm in the hearts of Ye Ming and Chang Yan.
Are all systems targeting reincarnators?
why?
Let's make a hypothetical scenario: if you were in a game and saw a character being targeted by everyone, what would you think?
1. The character is too ugly.
2. This character is too despicable.
3. This character is disgusting.
4. This character is too strong.
5. This character is too weak.
6. This character is weak, ugly, despicable, and disgusting.
If a character is constantly being targeted but still manages to survive, what would happen?
There is undoubtedly only one answer—
This character is too powerful.
Seeing what the two were thinking, the system nodded and slowly said:
"Yes, you guessed right. The Supreme God has become so powerful that it's indescribable. And the so-called reincarnators are just something the Supreme God does casually, without any real purpose. If you had to put it in a nutshell, it would probably be for pleasure."
(Manually tagging @Father Mapo Toki – Kirei Kotomine, @Tax Evader – Gilgamesh)
"The purpose of our system is to select and mold talents so that they can defeat the main god."
"Then this bastard betrayed his duty. As a system, he actually joined forces with the main god to kill the host we chose."
The little girl immediately jumped out, pointing at the system with a face full of hatred.
Ignoring the little girl, the system tilted its head and slowly began to speak.
But for some reason, Ye Ming seemed very nervous.
He sensed that what this strange system was about to say would have a huge impact on him.
His reason told him to start the duel immediately and not listen to the system.
But his inner voice screamed, urging him to listen, to understand—
real!
"I think it's time for me to tell you about these two super powers that benefit all other forces."
"Shut up!"
The little girl realized that the system was about to reveal the truth about those forbidden things, and immediately rushed over to stop it from saying them.
The system dodged the little girl's lunge by sidestepping, ignoring her and speaking directly:
"The first faction is called the Space-Time Alliance, which is composed of various beings from countless worlds and planes, and the system also belongs to this alliance."
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Ye Ming, start the duel now and kill this host! Believe me, this isn't something you should be listening to right now! I've never harmed you, have I?! Hurry up and start!"
The little girl kept trying to stop the system from revealing these facts, but when she realized she was powerless to stop it, she immediately shouted at Ye Ming, hoping he would start a duel to stop the system.
(Sure enough, the so-called referee was himself. But this is a bit troublesome; what if he keeps refusing to call "start" and keeps resuming? This is really troublesome.)
Upon hearing the little girl's roar, Chang Yan immediately felt a sense of unease.
(But why is she so desperately trying to stop the system from saying it? Could it be—)
Upon hearing the little girl's voice, Ye Ming immediately showed a hesitant expression.
He's really having a hard time making a decision right now.
Ignoring the little girl's words, he continued to recover from his injuries and even overheard some facts that the little girl had been hiding from him.
He was going to start a duel at the little girl's suggestion, and given his current condition, there was a high probability he would die. But the little girl was right; she had never harmed him, and her advice had always been correct. Her eagerness suggested that what she had done must have been truly shocking.
What should I do?
Testimonials
This is my first time writing something like this, so please just take a look.
When I received a message from Orange Editor informing me that the book was up and running, I was completely dumbfounded.
As I mentioned before, I'm a newbie, and I wrote this book purely out of interest, since I've read a lot of novels. Plus, I'd say I'm a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), and I often have things on my mind, which I sometimes write down, and eventually I decided to write them down.
Because I'm afraid that in a few years I'll forget everything, and at that time I probably won't be able to write anything even if I wanted to.
However, I really didn't expect my book to be published. I feel quite flattered and surprised.
Okay, I'm not going to say any more, or you'll all get annoyed.
I'll have even less time to slack off from now on, so sad~
Finally, I'm asking for recommendations, monthly tickets, donations, and subscriptions!
Chapter Ninety-Six: System and the Main God
(To those who say they're afraid I'll abandon this book, please rest assured. If this book is abandoned, my best friend will be waiting for me at my doorstep with a kitchen knife.)
(If you find that this book has suddenly stopped updating, it's probably because I suddenly went into a coma and was hospitalized/my account was hacked/I was kidnapped/I had an accident and went to heaven.)
------------
Although Ye Ming was still hesitating, the system wouldn't.
Because he simply doesn't have that emotion.
"As for the other superpower, it's called—"
"Start the duel now, Ye Ming!"
(Could it be that the name of this faction will deal a huge blow to Ye Ming?)
What should I do?
Perhaps finding the little girl too annoying, the system simply stomped her to the ground and pinned her down with its foot.
The little girl struggled desperately, but her arms were too short and weak. Even though she kept punching the system's legs with her "little turtle fists" on the ground, she couldn't break free.
"Its name is—the God's Space! And its manipulator is the God himself. He single-handedly ravages all of space and time."
As the system's voice faded away, all sound disappeared from this space...
All was quiet...
The little girl stopped struggling and lay on the ground like she was dead, completely at your mercy...
Because his body was constructed of shadow, the system could not discern his expression at all.
Ye Ming stared blankly at the system, looking completely incredulous.
Chang Yan's expression, however, looked quite strange.
Isn't this just the typical formula of traditional RPG games?
The protagonist defeats some minor enemies (reincarnators killed by Ye Ming), then gets utterly crushed by a powerful boss (Lucien). He later learns that behind these enemies lies an even more formidable final boss (the Supreme God). From then on, the protagonist works tirelessly, gaining a large following of followers and a harem of girls. Finally, with their support, and after countless attempts and breakthroughs, defeats the final boss and lives a carefree life with his harem.
If they were even more ruthless, they might even add the final boss to their harem.
People these days are truly terrifying.
After a moment of stunned silence, Ye Ming came to his senses and asked with a frown:
"I admit I was a little scared just now, after all, the Supreme God is so powerful. But it's not a big blow to me. Rather, I was already mentally prepared to confront the Supreme God. This information shouldn't be the reason why Xiaoling tried to stop you, right, Mr. System?"
After thinking about it carefully, Ye Ming realized that something was wrong.
Xiao Ling has been sending me missions to eliminate the reincarnators, which means that one day I will have to confront the main god. He also has some idea of the main god's power.
It's the supreme deity, after all.
Although I am now somewhat shocked and terrified by the power of the main god, I am not a weak-willed person. Why does Xiaoling keep stopping that system from revealing itself?
Unless, he has some information he hasn't revealed yet!
The system turned its head towards Ye Ming and spoke again:
"You're right, that's not the reason why the two-dimensional crossover was trying to stop me; it's just afraid I'll say what I'm about to say. But before that, let me make things clear to you. Do you know who created our system?"
The system's problem caused Chang Yan and Ye Ming to fall into deep thought...
A moment later, both of them realized something at the same time. One of them had a calm expression, while the other looked extremely unpleasant.
"Could it be...?"
Ye Ming swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty.
Please, please, it can't be what I'm thinking...
Ye Ming prayed silently, fantasizing that the system had refuted his conjecture.
However, the system ruthlessly shattered Ye Ming's illusions.
"You guessed right, the creator of our system is the Supreme God. As for the purpose, it's the same as the purpose of creating the Reincarnator mechanism before, which is for pleasure. The only instruction the Supreme God gave us was to select talents to defeat him. However, I think no one can do this instruction, which is why we formed an alliance with the Supreme God."
"Wait a minute! Since you were created by the Supreme God, why would Xiaoling say you're a traitor?"
Ye Ming keenly identified the problem and interrupted the system.
"Well, how should I put it? After all, the principles behind this are too complicated for you to understand... You can think of it this way: before our system was created, it had a grudge against the main god, a grudge even deeper than a blood feud."
"Because 'we' are all made into 'systems' by the main god."
The little girl who had been pretending to be dead at the system's feet suddenly made a muffled sound, and her words shocked the two of them once again.
"Being made into a system? Xiaoling, do you mean...?"
