Volume 7: The Truth of the World Chapter 52: System Owners Who May Have a Special Mission
Shen Jin threw this question to the system.
[What is the combat power of a fourth-level advanced extraordinary person? How can I be promoted to a fourth-level advanced person? ]
[System: These are two questions. Answering them will cost a total of 400,000 world coins]
Shen Jin shook his head helplessly. He thought that if he asked together, he could find a loophole in the system, but it didn't work.
[Come on, you are the one who left us this artifact, why are there so many restrictions? Just give me all your goodies, the world crisis is not over yet! What if the lord of that plane crosses over to Earth to kill us? ]
[System: Master, please do not worry about this artifact. I will escape into the void again and protect myself.]
Shen Jin: “???”
(╬ ̄皿 ̄)convex.
"Wait! The system just talked to me! It was even mocking me!"
Sun Can next to him suddenly became alert.
"Really? My dog system has never spoken to me except for issuing tasks and data. It's like a rigid machine!"
Shen Jin shuddered and stopped practicing.
"Really! It just said that if the boss from that dimension comes, it will escape into the void and protect itself."
Sun Can: "...Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Oh! The point is not here, but that it can speak!"
Shen Jin tried to communicate with the system again.
[Artifact, have you awakened? Can you chat with me now? Then...what do you think of the current situation? Will the boss from the zombie plane come? What is your highest strength? At least...you can kill a fifth-level extraordinary person with a slap, right? ]
【system:……】
[Do you want to spend 400,000 world coins to ask the question just now? ]
Shen Jin tried to seduce the system to speak several times, but got no response. He didn't know if it was just a coincidence or... something really happened to the system.
Shen Jin was more inclined to believe the latter situation. After all, he had had a conversation with the system when he first chose it.
Originally I thought it was some big boss who was manipulating things behind the scenes.
But now it seems that the big guy is dead. These three systems are relics created by ancient cultivators with the strength of their entire clan, to help future generations of mankind find a way back to the extraordinary.
The cultivator said that he was dead, so he would not lie to them, the chosen ones.
【Ask】
[Lost: World Coins x 400,000]
Shen Jin had just killed a bunch of zombie tyrants, contributing 10,000 world coins to each of them. He had also killed quite a few before, so he had accumulated a lot of stocks, so he could still afford to ask this question.
[Answer question 1: The fourth-level advanced has the ability to move mountains and fill the sea, break the continent, and can shatter the void with one punch and reorganize the rules! The light of the mind penetrates the essence of the universe and cannot be killed easily. ]
[Answer question 2: To advance to the fourth level, one must fully master the light of one's own mind, observe the reality of the universe, and integrate the light of the mind into the rules of the universe.]
Shen Jin shared the news with Sun Can, and they both fell into deep thought.
The explanation of the system is simple, but the key information has been given, and at least we know the direction to work towards.
After a moment.
Shen Jin said: "Level 4 Advanced... It will take us some time to reach it. Let alone integrating the light of the mind into the rules of the universe, I can't fully master this power yet. If we further subdivide the levels, we should be Level 4 Intermediate 1, which is still 9 levels away from Level 4 Advanced. In a short period of time... It is impossible to advance."
Sun Can nodded. At their level, he could already clearly understand his situation.
The ability of subtle observation is not just talk. It can not only observe the world and the enemy, but also observe oneself.
"Will the zombie kingdom give us some time? They should be able to observe information about our Earth from that world. If they know that the zombie tyrants are all dead, will they immediately send more powerful men over?"
"Yes... We don't know how strong the enemy is right now, nor do we know when the enemy will arrive. We are like a player closing his eyes in the dark, letting the werewolf attack us."
"It would be great if the zombies' arrival time is the same as the opening time of their time locks, so we can observe it."
A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to Shen Jin's mind.
But it was so fleeting that he failed to grasp what was wrong.
"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time, eliminate the zombies, and see if we can get any inspiration in the process."
"Yes, no matter what, the zombies must be eliminated."
Sun Can’s system has an ultimate mission, which he has never told Shen Jin. He has to eliminate all the zombies on Earth in order to get the chance to return to his original world.
Sun Can thought to himself: "If I reach the advanced level of the fourth stage and have the ability to break the void... then can I travel through the planes by myself and return to my world?"
But this idea was quickly suppressed. Even if it was really feasible, he would not leave.
All his abilities came from the magical artifacts of the cultivators in this world. Although he didn't know why he was chosen to come to this world, his strength was indeed given by the positive world. In that world, he was just an ordinary college student who made money by playing helmet games and could only live a life without worries about food and clothing.
The extraordinary power he gained in this world not only made him a strong man in the world, but also gave him an extra long life.
With his current body, he could live for thousands of years without any problem.
This is his opportunity, but it also brings him responsibility.
Besides...Sun Can let out a bitter smile.
"Back then, I still haven't repaid Shen Jin for saving my life."
The Craftsman's Soul Helmet given to him by Shen Jin saved him from carelessness, otherwise he would have died in City B long ago.
Even though he didn't say it, he still had to pay it back.
Helping Shen Jin, liberating this world, and fighting against the crisis from the other world should be... enough.
"By the way! We haven't found the owner of the third system yet. What do you think about this?"
Both of them had been looking for the owner of the sword system for a while. Tianluodiwang was also commissioned by Shen Jin to search the world for some unusual people whose abilities were related to swords, but they never found that person.
It's almost become a knot between the two of them.
Shen Jin spread his hands: "I am not sure whether there is a third person or not. If there is one...when the three of us meet, unexpected changes may happen. You know, our abilities can be combined and we are very powerful together, but neither of us has the kind of dominance that can... split the world with one sword and kill people above our level. I rely on operations, and you rely on skill matching. All we need is a One Punch Man to join us."
"I'm worried... In theory, with everything we've done in the world, any system owner with normal intelligence who doesn't hide in the mountains should be able to analyze our identities, right? And our cooperation has shown him that the relationship between system owners is a cooperative one, not a competitive one. Why doesn't he come to us?"
"Strange! Really strange!"
Shen Jin tried to ask the system again: [Can you really not tell me the identity of the owner of that sword system? ]
[Sorry, Master. According to the rules left by the cultivators on the artifacts, I cannot tell you any information about other artifact owners.]
Shen Jin: [It's the same for both of them, right? ]
【Yes.】
Shen Jin's eyes lit up, and he said to Sun Can, "It's confirmed, there is a third system owner. My system just let it slip."
Sun Can: “…”
"I feel like your system scenes are particularly numerous, and there are no scenes of me and the system talking..."
"Ahem! Don't worry about these details. Now that the premise has been confirmed, there is indeed this man with a sword. What kind of mental state is he in... why does he refuse to join us?"
"First of all, we must rule out the possibility that he is mentally retarded! Otherwise, this line of reasoning will not work."
Shen Jin nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
"Since he is a normal person, knowing that we are the two most powerful and abnormal people in the world, and very likely the owners of the system, why doesn't he come to us? Is he afraid that we will deprive him of his ability? Or is his system mission in conflict with ours? Or... is he carrying out some other mission, which makes it impossible for him to join us?"
All three possibilities mentioned by Sun Can are possible.
Shen Jin analyzed it briefly.
"I think the first two should be ruled out. My system has already told them the origins of the three systems. They are three divine weapons made by cultivators to deal with ancient fifth-order extraordinary enemies. Their goals should be the same and there will be no conflict. As for his ability... I think as the owner of the same system, he won't be weaker than the two of us. Moreover, the sword looks like it is mainly used for attacking. It's possible that he is even stronger than us."
"So... if this person exists, knows everything that happens in our world, and is not a retard, then... he must have some hidden secrets. He cannot let others know of his existence and needs to hide behind until he completes his mission! He will come out at the critical moment!"
"Well...well-reasoned and convincing."
The two of them roughly inferred the third system owner that they might have an assistant hiding in the dark, and hiding very well, away from the eyes of the whole world.
Sun Can thought of another possibility in his mind.
"Could he have also traveled from another world like me, and with the help of his super strong attack power, he broke through the void and returned to his own plane?"
But he couldn't verify this and could only wait for time to give him the answer.
"Let's just assume he's still in this world."
Everyone continued to repair.
…
At 8 o'clock in the evening, everyone got up together.
A dense crowd of people is coming at the horizon.
China's dragnet of 3 million extraordinary troops sets out!
"Hi~! Such strong popularity."
Shen Jin could see that a powerful aura was emanating from the Tianluodiwang army, a momentum that was even comparable to some of the abilities of the Light of the Mind.
"This could be... the military soul, right?"
He felt that even a fourth-order transcendent would not be able to destroy such an army. The power of that mind was highly integrated and had reached a certain special height, becoming a certain special force.
Sun Canfu is very kind to the soul.
"Remember the picture of the ancient ruins? The power of faith!"
"profound……"
The fifth-level extraordinary people need the people's offerings, which is actually the power of faith. This army has the same faith, and when combined together, it forms such a scene, which really makes Shen Jin a little envious.
"We have no way to deal with this army..."
"Yeah, we can't break their momentum."
Hu Shou obviously noticed it, and his eyes revealed satisfaction: "Our Chinese Extraordinary Army has the most steadfast belief! This is the soul of our nation!"
"Let's go, let's go clean up these 70 million zombies that have been roaming around in our territory for several days. It's so annoying."
"Walk!"
A group of 14 fourth-order human transcendents, plus 15 hell creatures (two of which are Sun Can), and 3 bone dragons, took the lead in charging towards the tide of zombies.
Their goal was simple, which was to clear out those conspicuous third-level zombies in the zombie tide. These zombies had thick skin and flesh, and could not be hit by laser guns at all. They also had many means of attack and were most likely to cause casualties to the dragnet troops.
32 fourth-order super powers attacked at the same time, and the sky and the earth changed color!
In an instant, the wind and clouds surged!
A new storm has emerged, how can we stand still?
They were like great magicians using forbidden spells, instantly bringing devastating disaster to the tide of zombies!
“Boom boom boom!”
In the tide of zombies, all the third-level zombies were locked by Shen Jin and his men's attacks, and their bodies were torn into pieces in the huge energy storm.
Storm, fire, frost, lightning, metal, mental shock...
Especially when Shen Jin made a move, the earth shook directly. The zombies in the corpse tide were controlled by him and rolled into the underground, and their bodies were squeezed into pieces by the reconstructed blocks.
Really great burial technique!
Sun Can waved his hand casually, and countless flames were summoned from another world. In mid-air, a river of magma flowed down.
Large pieces of zombie bodies were evaporated by the magma fire liquid at thousands of degrees high, turning into a wisp of black smoke.
In the sky, the Flame Man threw out big Ivans, and anything that touched them was reduced to ashes.
The huge body of the Geocentric Guardian fell directly into the tide of zombies, transforming into a giant spirit god, tearing apart countless zombies. The zombies' attacks could not reach them as they were melted by the high-temperature flames outside the body.
The withered skeleton was holding a black bone knife , exuding an ominous aura. As he swung the knife, black and red rays of light flashed, and the heads of hundreds of zombies exploded.
And behind the crowd.
The 13,000-man Corpse Killing Squad One and Two all followed.
The zombie-killing team switched to hand-to-hand combat mode and pounced on the large number of flying zombies in the sky.
They are all third-level transcendents, and their melee strength is enough to destroy the zombies.
The members of the second zombie-killing team took a large number of supernatural fruits left by Shen Jin and formed a fusion skill. Giant golden swords rose in the sky and were swung towards the zombie team. Countless zombies died with one sword.
Ahead are the world's most powerful extraordinary people and extraordinary teams leading the way.
A dragnet of 3 million extraordinary warriors, each holding two laser guns, flew over at a low altitude.
"fire!!!"
“Boom boom boom—”
For a moment, the only sound in the world was the roar of plasma shells, and the battlefield was shining with blue light, as if it were daytime!
The 70 million zombies were melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
