Chapter 695 - Judgment of the Plane (2/2)
“Wait!” The man finally regained his composure and stopped her. He rushed in front of her to block her way. “You can’t go!”
“Why not?!” I don’t want the promotion – am I not even allowed to quit?
“Well…” The man hesitated. His eyes darted around. A moment later, he said, “Your powers have already grown to match that of a judge. There can only be one judge in this entire universe. So even if you have passed my tests, there must be some sort of hierarchy between us.”
“Oh.” Shen Ying nodded. Very willingly, she said, “I admit defeat!” This should do it, right?
it’s time to go home, time to go home. Time to eat, time to eat!

“You…” The man was really getting angry now. He blocked Shen Ying’s way once again and said, “Do you know what hierarchy means?”
“How many meanings are there?”
He lowered his gaze. In a heavy tone, he said, “There can only be one of us in this world.”
“…” Shen Ying’s hand stopped on the way to her mouth.
The man sighed, and smiled warmly once again. “The only thing is our powers are quite equal now. If we really engage in battle, the entire Chaos Void might be destroyed, along with every single plane within it. That’s why I’ve created a series of tests. I want to objectively solve this problem. If you pass the tests, I am going to disappear willingly.”
Shen Ying tilted her head. “You mean to say… One of us has to disappear?”
“That’s right.” He nodded.
“What if we neither of us disappear…” Shen Ying asked seriously. “Would my pocket money be deducted?”
“Eh?” The man stared blankly at her. He answered without certainty, “I don’t… think so?”
“Oh, then that’s alright!” She heaved a sigh of relief.
“…”
Wait a moment!
What did that have to do with pocket money? Why did she suddenly bringt hat up?
“You don’t understand what I’m saying. I mean that there can only be one ju-”
“Who said that? Is it against the law to have two judges?” Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ying interjected. “From really early on, you have been the judge. And it’s been a long time since I regained consciousness from my coma. In other words… It’s not like both of us haven’t co-existed all this time. Why can’t we continue this way?”
“….” The man had nothing to say in response.
“Alright, I’m off now.” Shen Ying turned to walk around him.
“Wait!” He blocked her way once again, refusing to give up. “Although I don’t know what would happen if we have two judges in one Chaos Void, I’m sure it would not have a good impact on the place. So we have to-”
“Then let’s just wait till that actually happens!”
