Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 978 Higher Order of Gods and Demons

"How did you manage that?!" Lynn asked as she was curious about the sudden turn in events when Yang Rong performed his combo technique against Jin. They were already back at the Tree Mall as the rest returned for the lunch meal provided by the System. Even the minions were curious as it was apparent to everyone that he was suffering the hits.

"Ehh luck? Hahaha- Ow!" Jin lied so blatantly that Lynn hit his shoulder hard. Chi infused kind of hard. 

"Tell us properly! Or don't tell us at all!" Lynn pouted as she removed the plate of delicious looking chicken rice in front of Jin. "Else, no lunch for you!" 

"Perhaps, I might have an inkling of the technique that he had done, but it seemed modified. So, there are certain portions of the technique which are not clear to me either." Yun said as she was already munching away on the chicken rice. "It had something to do with what Ming taught you, right? It was somebody's substitution technique." 

"Okay, okay. I am sorry. I will say!" Jin apologised to Lynn, and he nodded at Yun's conjecture.

"But if it's a body substitution technique, it requires a medium or an item to move away from...unless you used your unique Maqi to create an astral projection thick and sturdy enough to act as a body substitute." Yun deduced, and Jin yet again nodded his head. 

"I did not just use the astral projection. It is not that sturdy enough to suffer those hits. I had added a sludge crystal into the mix which was within my pocket, courtesy of the System and thus I used it as a defence mechanism. The System was dying to win this fight. Didn't you guys see the first defence move I made? It was actually testing it out whether the body substitution with astral projection works."

"Oooh! No wonder." Lynn said as she nodded her head in acknowledgement. 

"Yeah, the System was betting an all in to win this fight no matter what. Though I wonder if it was against the rules, which was why I turned a little afraid when the Godly Representative sent me a message that I have a super entity." Jin asked out loud and at the same time, querying the System.

"No, the Godly Representative had already known of the System's presence when User brought out the platinum Panda chess piece. It had been used before in fights way before this particular match. The only thing was that it had not been used for centuries. Also, it was the God Realm that created the System, and thus its acknowledgement of our existence was within reasonable means." The System said.

"Does that mean there are other Super Entities around?" Lynn questioned, and the System acknowledged it. 

"As for the System to this particular world, we had been bestowed the number two, indicating that there was another super entity before us. Whether there are other similar Super Entities around, the System does not have any idea." 

"Can you be created that easily?" Derek asked as he was concerned if they were to challenge the creators of the System.

"No. Upon the System's knowledge, the System had not met any similar entities yet." The System said, and Moloch pulled up his hand.

"I believe the peeps in the Demon Realm could do the same too, to create a super entity like the System, but to my understanding, there are many conditions to be met. It's a once in a blue moon kind of thing." Moloch explained in a summarised form how a Super Entity could be created, and he said that only the higher order of the Demon Realm would be able to perform such a ritual. 

"So you mean, the System might have been created for a purpose?" Jin asked.

"Yea, it's possible. Unlike the normal Gods and Demons in their respective planes, the Higher God and Demons are subjected to a shit ton of responsibilities. Things like destiny and stuff are created by them. To them, good and evil is just a perspective and chaos was necessary to keep the balance and equilibrium among the universes. Have you heard from Kraft how people could buy and sell universes? Yeah, they allowed it but to a certain extent too. It is conceivable that we might play a part in their prophecies and such, but that's wishful thinking on my end. It could also be possible that Jin's success is just part of their prophecies, and he might be a prelude in the things to come." Moloch deduced.

"You serious, bro?" Derek asked in a slightly bewildered manner.

"In my opinion, the ones that attacked you are Gods with higher privileges. They are not necessarily Higher Gods. So you will still get your revenge if Jin decides to aid and abate your journey of vengeance. Besides, we have already fought with demons and came out victorious, right? What's a god being to us?" Moloch chuckled.

"You are lucky Baal did not take us as seriously as he liked to. And I believed the crown played a part too. I do not think I was able to win him if not for the crown that took his sanity away from him." Jin recalled how dangerous that fight was.

"Heh, when the push comes to shove, I believe the System will intervene for you." Lynn chuckled, and the rest of his minions somehow nodded their head in agreement. If the System ever felt that Jin was in absolute danger, it would not hesitate to use all its powers to protect him. This was especially true when the System saw leaps and bounds of improvement to its own processes. 

As mentioned before, Jin was one of the few who had managed to gain enough capital to increase the System processing capability, allowing it to do more miraculous things. Thus, it would definitely not leave Jin in a lurch. 

"Do you think we will ever see these Higher Gods and demons?" Jin asked, and Moloch shrugged his shoulders. (Including his puppet.)

"I have been living for so long that I lost count and I never saw them once in my life. Even when I had been reincarnated and sent to the Dungeon World, I only heard the orders." Moloch replied and teased Jin a little. "If you ever saw one, please give the demons a peek at how they looked!" 

"Heard? Orders?" Jin asked which immediately prompted Moloch to scratch his head since he did not know how to explain it without giving too much context.

"Yeah...King Solomon is the part of the Higher Demons and one of the few that are in constant contact with the normal demons. To be able to even receive an order or request from him should be honoured as precious as life itself." Moloch explained and just as Jin was about to ask another question, Yun cleared her throat.

"Jin." Yun suddenly interrupted, and her eyes were staring at the half eaten chicken rice on his plate.

"Eat quickly. We still have to go visit Grandma Yuan." She said while tapping her watch as if to indicate they are on a tight schedule. (Which they are clearly not! Yun just wanted to get it over and done with!)
