“A judge?” Shen Jing hesitated, frowning.
“Older Sister Jing, you haven’t heard of them either?” Lonemoon asked suspiciously.
“Mm.” Shen Jing shook her head. “I really haven’t heard of such people. There are countless planes in the Chaos Void. I only know of two monitors – Mi Le and myself.” She turned to Shen Ying. “Little Ying, your powers are extraordinary – far greater than that of monitors. Are you a judge, just like the person who tried to attack you?”
Shen Ying, who was still holding on to the bag of chips, looks up. As she chewed, she said, “I thought I was at the beginning, but after he tried to attack me, I realised I might not be.”
“What do you mean?” The three of them stared blankly at her.
He was too weak.
Shen Ying pondered for a moment, then retrieved the parenting system from her pocket. She turned it in her hands and said, “The one from my home – play the recording.”
[Yes, Boss! No problem, Boss!]
The parenting system’s cartoon eye blinked. The square flashed with a white glow. Suddenly, the scene in the house changed. They saw Shen Ying and the so-called judge, fighting in the Chaos Void.
A moment later, they heard a terrified male voice asking what kind of person Shen Ying was. Then, immediately after, Shen Ying crushed his body into pieces. The battle ended just like that, within ten minutes. Compared to the other people that Shen Ying had defeated, this was not that different. The only difference was she looked much more serious this time.
“I’ve already destroyed his body. This is all that’s left of him,” Shen Ying said, placing the translucent box on the table. The white ball of energy still remained inside. “This ball of energy was his judge’s power. Part of it is still spread out across the Chaos Void – there’s no way of retrieving it. I tried to take this energy apart, but it seems to be… rejecting me.” She thought it would be quite a pity to just throw it away as well, so she took it back with her.
“The energy rejected you?” Shen Jing frowned. She turned to face Shen Ying. “The energy has no sentience. If the judge’s consciousness has already been destroyed, how can the energy still reject you?”
Lonemoon and Yi QIng reacted at the same time. What Shen JIng said made sense. To put things simply, energy was like bread. Although there are many different flavours, they are all still meant to be eaten. It made sense that certain people prefer not to eat particular flavours of bread – but not that the bread would reject the person eating it.
” I don’t understand it either,” Shen Ying reached out and placed her hand atop the box. Indeed, a second later, the white energy let out piercing sounds. Streaks of lightning-like lines appeared within the box – the energy was trying to strike at her hand. It seemed to be rejecting her presence.
“It really is rejecting you!” Lonemoon looked curiously at the box. He studied it very closely before passing it to Yi Qing for him to study it. Neither of them could see anything strange about the energy. Then, they thought of something. In a low voice, Lonemoon said, “Could the judge’s remnant soul still be hidden within?” After all, it was a judge – much more terrifying than a monitor. It was possible that his after-life would be something they have never witnessed before.
The moment Lonemoon finished speaking, everyone’s – except Shen Ying’s – expression changed.
“That’s not completely impossible. Let me take a looK!” Shen Jing’s expression hardened. She summoned a screen and scanned the data of the energy inside the box. Compared to Shen Ying’s data from before, this set of numbers looked particularly pitiful. Only the “energy” section did not reflect a reading.
Shen Jing took another closer look at the box as her expression darkened. “There is nothing wrong with the data. There are also no signs of any remnant souls there. Logically, the energy should not be rejecting Shen Ying. I have to conduct more research into this. I can’t tell…” As she spoke, she reached out for the box and tried to bring it back into the room. The moment she touched it, the entire box exploded with white light.
“Older Sister!” Shen Ying exclaimed. She reached out to pull Shen JIng aside, but it was too late. The energy that had been trapped inside the box suddenly charged at Shen Jing at top speed, entering her body.
The next moment, Shen Jing’s entire body glowed white. The entire house was covered in this light. Then, the light started to flow out of Shen Jing’s body in crazy volumes.
Shen Ying was pushed back by the impact. Lonemoon and Yi Qing rushed forward as the sofa, the coffee table, tables and chairs turned to ash, along with everything else in the house. The walls and ground started to disappear as well, threatening to take the entire plane down with it.
Shen Ying waved her hand and created a space outside of the plane. She pushed the few of them in, pulling Lonemoona and Yi Qing along before they could fly out.
“Older Sister!” Shen Ying’s expression darkened. She tried to find Shen Jing amidst the blinding light.
Lonemoon pulled her back. “Wait, Shen Ying! The light is dissipating…”
Shen Ying paused. Indeed, the light was disappearing as quickly as it came. It followed the huge gust of energy that swept past them earlier. Nothing stayed in Shen Jing’s body. Even the white glow around her had dissipated. Everything lasted less than two seconds. If the box had not been floating right in front of her eyes, she would have thought that the frightening energy never even appeared.
“Older Sister?” Shen Ying took one step toward Shen Jing. “Are you alright?”
“Mm.” Shen Jing looked to her hands, as a look of confusion flashed across her face. “I think…”
She thinks?
Shen Ying was just about to get even closer to Shen Jing when both Lonemoon’s and Yi Qing’s expression changed.Their eyes widened in shock as they stared at Shen Jing. “Shen Ying! Her aura…”
“What?” Shen Ying paused.
“Holy shit, can’t you see?” Lonemoon was getting increasingly shocked. “Her… Her energy…” Is suddenly so frightening! She was already frightening before, but that was nothing compared to the way she was now. It caused them to be… afraid to even get anywhere near her.”
“Her energy?” Shen Ying tilted her head. “What’s wrong?” Is there a difference?
“Master, Elder Shen’s aura…” Yi Qing responded. “It feels the same as that of the judge from before.”
Shen Ying lowered her gaze. On closer inspection, she realised that her older sister really did feel different. Although the difference was not that obvious to her, her older sister did seem a bit more like the judge from before.
Could it be that…
“Older Sister…”
“Mm.” Shen Jing nodded. She processed the sudden flood of information in her head regarding her energy. “The energy that you kept in that box has merged with mine.”
Merged?
“Then now you are…?” Lonemoon could not help but ask.
Shen Jing let her hands drop by her side as she turned to address the three of them in a low voice.
“Mm, I am now the judge!”
Shen Ying: “…”
Lonemoon: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
