Chapter 692 - Fighting the Boss (2/2)
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.
