608 Gods and Demons

Weslie was very impressed by Derek's research that it rendered her severely speechless throughout the most part of the reveal. It was then she broke out of her daze and asked whether if the 'fusion' of cells were only to certain species or could Derek had mix and match randomly.

"I did not consider such options. Guess, I based it on logical instinct? I took the species most similar to the monster found in the Giant World and combined them. I never tried considered combining like Jin's Pigs with broccoli, but even if I do, I believe it will fail." Derek replied, and Weslie wondered why since he could do it with the broccoli, porkcupine and subsequently the cultivated pig specimen.

"I think it had something to do with the laws of nature. Like how a human can never impregnate an ape because we have 23 chromosomes, they have 24. To put it bluntly, there is already a system in place, and a certain order had to be met." Derek try to give a reasonable and sound answer to Weslie.

"However! What if it is from another world? I am deducing that the worlds that Jin travelled are from a separate timeline, or maybe a separate dimension. Thus, the rules and order of that dimension do not apply to Jin's Earth laws of nature. It's just like how the Dungeon World had its set of rules."

"I guess what support your hypothesis is the close and yet distinct similarities between my world and yours?" Jin asked and remembered how he recognised the ruined Shanghai tower when he caught the zombies.

"Indeed. There is no way in chance that the very same Shanghai tower can be built the same way in two different worlds when both of our worlds had not reached a technology level capable of transiting space and time." Derek said until Weslie recalled what Derek noted previously.

"Then what about those creators you talked about. Those God like soldiers?" Weslie asked, and Derek could not make heads or tails to that argument. Only Jin who knew bits and pieces of information could see a connecting picture.

"The plane of gods and demons….? Wolte, you said the demons are from a dimensional plane right?" Jin shouted at Lord Wolte, who was quietly snoozing after going through the battle plans.

"Huh!? Yes, Master! The plans are fabulous!" Lord Wolte got up and tried to lie through his teeth which Jin ignored and repeated the question for him. "Oh, that. Yeah, all Gods came from the same sort of dimensional plane similar to us."

Lord Wolte embarrassingly came forward and told them more to make up his snoozing during the meeting. (After which he stared at Lord Moloch who did not aid him but instead sniggered at him.)

"Those gods manifested however they like and changed their appearances like us. They loved to 'save' people the way we like to kill people. In the end, it's all about control. The only difference is that we are honest to ourselves, and many did not like us as much as those sugar coating salesmen."

"That is a rather interesting perspective to take in." Qiu Yue chuckled when she thought about Lord Wolte's description of Gods.

"It's true. To us, Gods and Demons, worship can come in various forms. Acts of blasphemies are on the same side of the coin as acts of faithfulness. Our followers themselves wish to copy us -or in a more glorifying term, illuminate us in their acts of desires so that they could portray themselves as the gods or demons which they worshipped." Lord Wolte preached.

"Is it because people like priests want the ability to control or influence people like the way gods do?" Derek asked, and Lord Wolte shook his head.

"It is something even more simple…more primitive." Lord Wolte gave them a chance to try and guess, but only Moloch responded.

"It is because it made them feel good."

"Exactly."

"System will like to remind that the meeting had once again digressed from its original objective." The System suddenly spoke out, and everyone felt a little embarrassed.

"Looks like we always go out of topic." Qiu Yue, however, did learn a lot within this hour that she had forgotten she wanted to sleep. Perhaps the curiosity got the better of her.

"Where were we? Oh yes. So Derek, continue to monitor the modified porkcupine and get Weslie to aid you in it. As much as we do not know the species well enough, its good to monitor it to get more information. Also, try and raise the other few that you put in ice as well. I like to have a better sample size and a better understanding before I recreate the Agriculture Sector 2 to place them with sub instances without too much changes." Jin said, and they both nodded their heads.

"With regards to Weslie's proposal to Agriculture Sector 1, I will discuss a bit with Gold for his opinion when he is free. Right now, I think the food stock from Sector 1 is moving along very nicely with the robot crawlers automating the planting and harvesting. Ke Mi's music had improved to give them the required magical energy to improve their taste."

"Not to mention how strong she had become. Just a four minute song is enough to accelerate the growth in conjunction with Time Compression magic placed in Sector 1. Though I wonder if she ever grew older." Qiu Yue asked, and System corrected her opinion.

"The System only used the time compression magic if there are no monsters around to tend it. Thus, Ke Mi is not subjected to any effects of time compression." The System stated, and suddenly it made Jin concerned about himself. Would he get older in no time?

"Time is a complex factor but based on System's analysis of User, the System had reasoned that User does not have anything to fear. The balance of User was not affected due to the constant usage of both time magic. User used time dilation magic to create dungeon instances but at the same time, the Sleeping Capsule which utilised time compression magic had compensated the time he slowed down."

"That is messed up. I do not even know how the math worked out." Weslie said which Derek concurred.

"As long as the System deemed that the User is fine, I all good. We can't have him dying on us with so many projects on hand." Moloch commented, and the rest laughed except for Jin.

He was the only one who knew that he had too much in his hands.
