System's POV

Chapter 554: Recruiting Allies [Part 2]

Thirteen blinked innocently as Laplace Demon and The One looked at him with serious expressions on their faces.

The One usually appeared only as a sun that burned in the heavens, but at that moment, he took on a human form—a Monk with a bald head.

"I know you only did what you think is right," The One said. "And I don't really blame you for what happened. Nevertheless, things escalated to a degree that even we didn't predict. According to my own calculations, King Xanmara would summon a Peak Rank 9 Sovereign, which can be considered as a Pseudo-Majin Prince.

"In the worst-case scenario, he would be able to summon a Majin Prince that had recently made a breakthrough. But, he would summon this monster from the world of Solterra.

"The Majin King who goes by the name Orochi, who is currently hunting you in Absolute Heaven, came from the Jinn Homeworld, Gomorra. This is a serious matter. Not only is it a very savage and powerful being, but the aftermath of its rampage can escape the borders of Absolute Heaven.

"As you may already know, other Wanderers are doing missions on the neighboring lands adjacent to the Absolute Heaven. If Orochi makes their way to their location, things could spiral out of control.

"So what we need to do is either contain him or eliminate him while he is still inside Absolute Heaven. But it's impossible for me and Laplace Demon to interfere directly. You already know this, right?"

Thirteen nodded. "I know. I'm supposed to be the Anti-Virus Software that fixes bugs in Solterra."

"That's right," The One admitted. "You are the only one who can break down the wall that separates Fractured Heaven from the rest of the world using your Disintegrator ability. That's also the reason why I sent you to Fractured Heaven."

Thirteen nodded because he already suspected that his action was within The One's calculations.

"But just like you, we didn't predict that something like this will happen," Laplace Demon said. "Which is why we decided to have an emergency meeting with you in order to find a solution to our current problem."

The One nodded. "As long as it doesn't go against the restrictions placed upon us, we will do everything to help you overcome this trial. Remember, the goal is to either contain Orochi in Absolute Heaven or eliminate it completely. There is no third option."

Thirteen crossed his arms over his chest and closed his eyes.

He started to create simulations on how to stop Orochi based on the data he obtained from their short clash with each other.

The Majin King was a full-blooded Jinn, unlike the other Jinns in Solterra who were hybrids.

This meant that, in terms of raw strength, not only was it more powerful than the monsters in their world, but it was also three times more savage.

Even Camazotz and Kamrusepa, Thirteen's allies, were hesitant to face off against such a creature.

Because of this, he needed to compromise and asked Zed to help him deal with the monster, but their goal was to only keep it busy until the thirty-day time limit ended.

However, this was not what the Laplace Demon and The One wanted.

They wanted to make sure that Orochi would never leave the territory of Absolute Heaven and start its reign of terror to the rest of the world.

'Since it's a Majin King, the possibility of its gaining control over the Jinns in Absolute Heaven is high,' Thirteen thought. 'But, if my calculation is correct, there must be another Majin King in the Absolute Heaven. Otherwise, things won't make sense.'

If the Race of the Absolute Race was wiped out, it could only mean that there was a Majin King or several Majin Princes that appeared during the Jinn invasion.

Since they were territorial by nature, they would certainly make the Absolute Heaven their base of operations as they expanded outward.

"Is there another Majin King in Absolute Heaven?" Thirteen asked after pondering for a few minutes.

"There is one more Majin King in Absolute Heaven," The One replied. "It's a Demonic Salamander, but it's weaker than Orochi. It's likely that it has already become aware of Orochi's presence and is planning to make its escape."

"Wait, if that Demonic Salamander leaves Absolute Heaven, won't it pose the same problem as Orochi leaving the Absolute Heaven?" Thirteen frowned.

"No," The One shook his head. "This Demonic Salamander dislikes conflicts and only wants to sleep. It had been sleeping for hundreds of years, only waking up for a few days every decade to eat the Spiritual Veins of Absolute Heaven.

"After going into hibernation, the destroyed Spiritual Veins would regenerate after a decade, and the cycle repeats all over again. It seems that it plans to break through into a Fiend in the future, though it will take at least two thousand years before that happens."

"Even if it ranks up, it will pose no problem to the current balance of power in Solterra," Laplace Demon commented. "But a Majin King like Orochi is a different matter. Its threat level is second only to the Fiends and Celestials.

"We must stop it before it devours stronger creatures, which would help it evolve into another Fiend in less than a decade."

Thirteen sighed before nodding in understanding. "I will need to return to Pangea for a bit. Can you allow me to do that?"

"I will allow it," The One stated. "Where do you want to go?"

"The Rigel Continent," Thirteen replied. "I want you to take me to where the Earth Dragons are."

The Laplace Demon and The One glanced at each other before shifting their attention back to the boy in disbelief.

"You plan to ask for their help?" The One asked. "Are you sure that they will agree to help you?"

"I'm not sure," Thirteen replied. "But I have nothing to lose if I do it, right?"

The One pondered for a moment before waving his hand.

A dimensional gate appeared in front of Thirteen, which led directly to the three Earth Dragons who were currently busy watching a popular series in Netfix, which had become one of their hobbies.
