“In short, you do not have to know, find it out yourself when you meet him,” Suzaku replied on behalf of the Cardinal Lords.
“Yea, let’s concentrate on this predicament first,” Byakkou added. “And also, I guess it’s a miracle that his soul is strong and concrete enough to hold him steady in this Synthesised Plane.”
“Indeed. When the System attempted to infiltrate into the Synthesis World’s server, the System was worried that the User might have his sanity crumbling due to the forced separation of his mind and body.”
“By the way, why are you talking through the Tactical System and only now when you meet the lords?” Jin asked without knowing that his Maqi was getting more and more rampant that not only Yinn noticed it but the other Grey Bears too. He was producing an electromagnetic signal that was strong enough to interfere with the current Tactical System that they were using and that included disabling the CCTVs that the rebels had as well. (The rebels thought they had been discovered.)
“The Synthesis World had their own Master AI as well and if they realised that another entity entered their server, they would send enforcers to delete the ‘cheater’. Thus, the System is providing remote support and actions camouflaged as part of their repertoire.”
“So far, the Master AI has not discovered anything and the only reason the System could give is that the Gods, as disgusting as they had been, might have given you an unexpected olive branch which allowed you to remain undetected. However, the System did not wish to overextend and caused the User to be found by the Synthesis’ Enforcers.”
“Oh…so you are that mysterious ally.” Jin finally got the confirmation that the System was the self inviting ally that came to their aid. He had his suspicions but could not confirm since the System had not talked the entire time. “So this cultivation stance that I am deploying is literally an interference for you to talk?”
“Yes, and the System deduces that since your subconscious had been deeply ingrained with Ex System User Ming and his friends, the Cardinal Lords, it would be interesting to have the System theory to be confirmed as well.”
“Blek, enough talking. We do not have much time left before Jin reaches his ascension to Grade 2.” Byakkou said
“Huh, what? But I cannot even find my Dantian Core at all.”
“And look what you had been sub-subconsciously doing.” Byakkou said and then Jin found out that his Maqi was creating a brand new Dantian Core. Albeit smaller than it should have been,
“Now who is the truly bashful one,” Suzaku said as she poked fun at Byakko before voicing towards Jin. “You might not have the support of all of the Cardinal Lords yet, but the three of us are strong enough to support your current foundation. The creation of your new Dantian core within your soul vessel is not possible without our help.”
Jin wanted to say that he thought Suzaku had not acknowledged him but it seems that it would be best to keep that comment to himself for now. Perhaps, allowing him to owe her one is the few ways to communicate with her more.
“The System shall take the opportunity to input the most basic function that a Dungeon Supplier should have as well. The Creation of Dungeons. In summary, you need to earn as many points as possible to have your soul vessel extracted out of the Synthesis World. The rest are not able to do so for you.”
“Hah, if the Panda Elders could not do something for their descendant, it would be such a disgrace to the Panda Clan.” Genbu taunted but was glad that the System, Jin’s main companion was able to contribute.
“Also, be sure to create your first new ‘Mechanoid’ with your Tactical System. Someone is waiting for you eagerly despite stern warnings that a lot of things can go wrong, the System had made sure that she would not be detected at all.”<.com>
“We cannot lose to your Panda Elders as well since they had decided to give you this much. We shall gift you a small portion of our powers but use it carefully. They might not seem strong when you fought with us, but it’s a different thing when you utilise them.”
“Might not seem strong? You guys killed me like nearly a thousand times with your powers.” Jin complained but he could feel a paw swiping at him, subsequently a stomp and finally a slap with her fire wings. As much he felt pain through that, he could feel his dantian core getting stronger not realising that their powers had been imbued into him.
“This is as much as you can get from us. Remember to use our powers or else you won’t get any in the future. Till the next ascension process.” Genbu chuckled as the dantian core solidified and allowed him to reach Grade 2.
When Jin opened his eyes, all he saw was Yinn and the rest of the Grey Bears pointing their guns at him.
“Woah, woah, what is with this hostility?” Jin raised his hands up slowly and the Grey Bears finally loosened their combat stance.
“We thought you went insane and had to put you down if you did not show any sign of sentience,” Yinn said as she extended her hand to help Jin up.
“Yinn is bullshitting. She wants to kill you so that we do not have to go through this bullshit rescue.” Diaz joked as she reported to Click that everything was all okay.
“I would have supported her decision as well,” Tellie said as she was observing everything through her scope on top of the roof of a building near the Church.
“What exactly happened to you?” Yinn asked while Jin squeezed his fists together to feel the strength he had acquired.
“Just a powerup process through a specific type of mediation.”
“How is that even remotely possible?” Diaz asked but decided to keep her mind open since she saw something she never experienced before.
“If it gives you comfort, I can go in first,” Jin smirked as if challenging Diaz.
“Heh. You are now mocking me.” Diaz picked up her shotgun from her back as if she was not going to fall back at all.
“Then let’s go together,” Jin said as he picked up the fully printed electric drill. Now with his newly acquired Grade 2, he might have a chance to deal with the situation with more finesse.
