“Older Sister Jing, you really are… a judge now?” Lonemoon looked at her disbelievingly. Her entire body was emanating this frightening aura. The fear that they felt now was very different from before. Now, she seemed to them like an unreachable mountain peak. Just one look at her threatened to overwhelm them.
“If the information I received while the energy was merging with mine was right, then yes, I really am!” Shen Jing clenched her fists by her side and frowned. “And… In that moment, I gained information about all the planes in the Chaos Void.” This feeling was very similar to what she felt when she became a manager earlier. She felt like she could control all the living things with just one word. But where she could only control the living things in her plane before, she could now control all the living things in the Void.
“…”
Wasn’t the energy rejecting people? Both Lonemoon and Chef had touched that box earlier, but the energy did not merge with theirs. Why did it merge with Shen Jing’s the moment she touched it? Did the energy have the ability to choose who it wanted to enter? It seemed to only favour those who were already formidable.
o( ̄ヘ̄o#)
Wait, that was not right!
Even if it wanted to choose, shouldn’t it have chosen Shen Ying? She was the strongest cheat around.
“Why did that energy merge with Older Sister Jing’s?” Lonemoon instinctively asked.
Shen Ying searched her brain for all the information she had regarding the energy. Then, she explained, “it’s not just me. The energy would enter any manager that would be able to take it.”
“Then earlier…” He and Chef both touched the box.
Shen Jing glanced at him and changed the topic. “To be more accurate… anyone apart from Shen Ying would be able to take in this energy. The only difference lies in whether their bodies would be able to withstand it.”
The three of them stared blankly at her. What did she mean? It was not that the energy liked Shen Jing, but that it disliked Shen Ying?
“This energy really does reject Little Ying,” Shen Jing continued. “As her assistants, your powers belong to her. Naturally, the energy would not want to merge with yours.”
“Why?” Shen Ying frowned. “The energy does not have a consciousness.” From the beginning, she felt the judge’s consciousness disappear from the ball of energy. It was not possible that this ball of energy would still reject her then, was it?
“What’s rejecting you is not the consciousness of the previous judge,” Shen Ying said as she turned to face her. “It’s the entire Chaos Void.”
Lonemoon: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Shen Ying: “…”
What?
Were there not already enough people who hated her? Did the entire population as a whole have to hate her too?
(o__)ノ
“Little Ying, you must have already felt this – your powers are extraordinary,” Shen Jing sighed. She looked at Shen Ying uncertainly. “Even I – as a judge now – can’t tell where the boundaries of your powers are. In the entire Chaos Void, no other person is stronger than a judge except you!”
“Then…” Lonemoon turned to face Shen Jing, before glancing at Shen Ying. “What exactly… is Shen Ying?”
“She…” Shen Jing frowned, as if looking for the right adjective to use. A moment later she said, “I think she was an accident!”
(⊙_⊙)
What the hell?
“If I’m understanding the information correctly, her powers and her existence is an accident.” A look of confusion flashed across Shen Jing’s face once again. She thought of something, then let out a deep sigh. “She should not even be here on this earth. I was the one who summoned her by force. That was why she’s considered an accident. She started off as a normal human being, but after going through my training, she accidentally became my assistant. Then, she transmigrated to another plane and gained powers that were different from everything she knew. She became a manager there by accident as well.”
Shen JIng stepped forward and scanned Shen Ying from head to toe. She continued, “Everything that happened to her should not have happened, but they have. Ordinarily, these little things would mean nothing on their own. But the people who have directly or indirectly caused all these to happen are her assistants – you two managers – and me – a monitor. That was why everything that happened was not under the control of rules nor predictions, nor even the judge at the time.”
Lonemoon hesitated. it took him a long time to process what Shen Jing was saying. In other words, Shen Ying was nothing – she was really just a cheat?!
( ̄△̄;)
“What happened to the judge earlier then?” Shen Ying asked. She was holding onto another bag of chips, which she seemed to have gotten from out of nowhere.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing stared at her for a long time before they finally reacted. That’s right! Even Shen Jing, who had become a judge, knew about these things. Why did the judge who attacked Shen Ying earlier come courting death then?
Shen Jing pondered for a moment and guessed, “I think he was blind!”
“…”
“Judges and managers are quite the same, and there is only one of them. Little Ying’s appearance could have affected his powers. He might have sensed that danger was near. This was the Chaos Void alerting him. But he must have misunderstood that the Chaos Void had chosen a second judge. That was probably why he was trying to take Little Ying out.”
“…” He even got that wrong. He must have been blind indeed.
“Or perhaps he had snatched this judge title for himself as well. That was probably why he thought that he had to defeat Little Ying in order to gain her powers.”
He snatched them!
Lonemoon and Yi Qing recalled something and exchanged a meaningful glance. “The main system!”
That’s right. They had been chasing the invader supplementary system the entire time. It was only then that they realised that there was a judge. What’s more, the judge had stopped Shen Ying from destroying the main system earlier. On hindsight, be it the main system’s standards or how well the man managed to hide the Big Dao Organisation, the one thing in common between these two things was that he was stealing power from other planes. The only difference was the scale of these operations.
When Shen Ying was battling him, he allowed Shen Ying to make the first move as well. He even kept threatening to harm Shen Jing just to get Shen Ying to take action. Wasn’t this style of forcing the other party into action exactly the same as what the supplementary system did to steal the original master’s primary soul.
“Holy shit!” Lonemoon cursed under his breath. From the looks of it, things were really as Shen Jing was describing. The judge from before probably snatched power from so many places in order to get where he was. They had no idea how many planes he had to destroy in order to get there. It was no wonder that he had his eye on Shen Ying, the cheat.
“If that’s the case…” Yi Qing thought about something and turned to face Shen Jing. “Since the energy just merged with Elder Shen, then you…” Can’t be, right?
“There’s no need for you to worry about this matter,” Shen Jing said to Lonemoon and Yi Qing. “You don’t just need power to become the judge of the Chaos Void. The important thing is that the Chaos Void recognises you as the judge. If the previous judge had snatched people’s powers in order to get to his position, then he probably did not attain the full affirmation of the Chaos Void. That was probably also why he lost his powers.”
“Then you-”
“Me?” Shen Jing suddenly grinned. But she did not sound too excited. Instead, she gave Shen Ying a strange look and pursed her lips. A moment later, she said, “We have to see what Little Ying thinks.”
“Shen Ying?” Lonemoon and Yi Qing turned to exchange a look again. What does this have to do with her?
“The judge’s responsibility is to maintain the entire Chaos Void, and ensure a balance among all the planes. An accident like Little Ying must have caused some kind of imbalance in the elements. Yet, even the judge can’t do anything about it.”
“So?”
“So the Chaos Void chose the only person who can do something to control her.” Shen JIng pointed to herself and emphasised each word as she said, “It chose me.”
Lonemoon: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
This… was the reason that Shen Jing had become the judge? In order to keep Shen Ying under control? This sounded almost childish, but for some reason it sounded very logical as well.
Shen Ying: “…” Son of a b*tch!
