Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 654  Three Days...

Today, the system decided to secretly monitor the humans within the Academy space. Well, its host was still cultivating within the milky pool, and it was getting bored and anxious with all the waiting around. Looking to the skies, it could see far more than what any human astronomers might be able to see. The planets were aligning, far beyond this galaxy and universe. This was bad. The time for end was definitely right around the corner. After all, there were barely 3 days left before the alignment was completed. Yes… in 3 days, the portals shall open!

[Should I see my master and remind him of the date?]

The system was like an anxious bug, flying left to right, right to left, and in a circling manner, from all the anticipation. Knowing its master, who liked to slumber and laze about, maybe he doesn't even recall the important matter that will befall this world in 3 days.

[Can these humans truly pull it off?] The system wondered, very frightened when thinking of the combined strengths of all 3 top princes.

Will everything truly be alright? The system didn't believe it would go so smoothly. In fact, he had a hunch that humanity might lose. But then again–

[I haven't assessed the strengths of the human exorcists yet.] It was wrong to conclude without knowing humanity's current strengths.

Thinking like this, the system decided to sneak away from Dorian, and monitor the humans within the Academy space. 3 hours later, the system felt its understanding of humans shattered.

It had to admit that even with all the benefits it provided, the humans of this world had gone too far and beyond. He sensed the auras within a few of them, and almost screamed to the heavens in disbelief. How can any human grow so fast?

Monster… He thought only his Host was a monster. But it seemed that there was still a lot he didn't understand about human potential. Another matter that made him smile, were the Pegasus and other creatures who reached peak mid to peak battle levels. Before, he felt that the humans had only a 20% chance of winning, even with Dorian around. But now, those odds were bumped up to 50. That's right. It was a tie. At this point, it's hard to say who will actually come out on top, demon or human. After looking around, the system released a collective sigh, before shooting to the heavens to see its master.

No matter how many times it appears in its Master's domain, it still felt a shiver of awe crawl up its nonexistent spine every single time. Its Master was just too great, and too magnificent, for a system like itself to comprehend. [Master…]

"Hm…" The majestic silhouette bathed in blinding golden lights, hummed softly, but most mostly unbothered. Very quickly, the system did its reporting. And the more it spoke, the more its eyes shimmered animatedly. [That's all, Master… But do you think the humans will win?]

Will its mission fail in the end?

The system was anxious, and did not want to disappoint its master with failure, after receiving such an important mission. It was entrusted to bring Dorian to that world and save the planet. According to the ways of high powering beings like its master, they can't and won't directly intervene with the lives of mortals. So sending Dorian in was the best way to go. Its master trusted it so much to do the job. So what if it fails?

The system, which has never had to worry about failure since its creation, was now biting its non-existent nails when accessing that the odds of winning were 50-50.

These were bad odds! Why not 90 for humans and 10 for the underworld?

The being bathed in golden hues chuckled, somewhat entertained by the system's actions. "Little noisy thing… go back and meet your host."

[_]

This might be the host its master has ever said in a single sentence. Now, it was worried even more. Has its master given up on it?

Master, what do you mean?

The system had non-existent tears in its eyes when vanishing down to the mortal plain. However, if it could see past the blinding hue around its master, it would have seen a very shocking scene. There in its master's hand, was a crystal ball. And in it, was the image of a person the system was more than familiar with – Its host, Dorian T. Tian.

'It looks like the fun is about to begin.'

The being flicked its wrist, and the crystal ball vanished. 3 days… That was all the time left.

But while the world was in secret, far, far, deep and down below, creatures of all sorts, slowly revealed their sharpened teeth when listening to the good news. Have you heard? Their Lords are back!!! The war was still going strong, but several creatures were ecstatic, when hearing the news. Bhahahahahjajaja~ Good .. good… great! Deep within a far distant corner, in a rotting purple land that bordered several allied Zones, there was a zap. It was a zap of strange lighting between the circular rims of a grand bone-carved portal. Zick~

The growl of strange lightning caused static in the air, enough to make several figures tremble on their knees and bellies. Their coming… Their coming… Only a few people could create such phenomena when passing through the portals. Even the atmosphere seemed to hold its breath. ~Zick

The zapping noises continuously grew, until a figure slowly emerged from within one of the portals. Who? Who is it?

Beelzebub had one hand lazily in his pocket, and another one running its fingers through his luscious hair. His V-neck T-shirt and his suit pants were on fire. Yes. They were literally on fire, as mortal clothes tend to do when in the Underworld. still intact. They burned away, but Beelzebub wasn't nude. He didn't even snap his fingers or make any big moves. Yet, the places where there should have been skin showing, now showed strange clothing, only worn by those in the underworld. It looked exactly like human clothing, but… it was made of fibers from the many peculiar plants and creatures in this world. Everyone trembled in awe, when seeing Prince Beelzebub, The Lord of the Flies, and the Prince of Gluttony… the current strongest existence in the upper plains of their underworld. Zick-zick-zick~ n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There it was, another zapping and lightning from the next portal. This time, it was Prince Lucifer Morningstar, Lord and Prince of Pride.

Just a few seconds more, the last figure appeared – Lord Asmodeus, Prince of Lust. And finally, in another Portal, Belphegor, the Prince of sloth, also emerged. They were back... The 4 most powerful Princes of hell were back!
