Number One Dungeon Supplier

"You barely went anywhere." Lynn stared at Jin where she did feel that his Maqi presence was gone for a few seconds before blinking to see that he returned to the very same spot. However, Jin kept his quiet and slowly proceeded to hug Lynn slowly but tightly.

Lynn was rather surprised by the long hug as they were doing that in the midst of people's presence such as his staff like Qiu Yue. "I am sorry, to me, it felt like ages since the last I saw you," Jin replied.

"Well, you do smell a little different." Lynn giggled as Qiu Yue just released a bitter smile but as Jin released Lynn from his embrace, he moved forward to Qiu Yue and gave a hand hug handshake.

"Welcome back?" Qiu Yue said and during the hug part of the hang hug handshake, she actually gave a rather quick but tight hug to Jin, something that the latter did not expect. It was like telling Jin that the Red Panda might have given up on the race on the relationship but 'keep on your toes for I might actually go for you if you are not careful' kind of expression.

Lynn saw it as well and instantly knew that Qiu Yue had not entirely forgotten about Jin even though she had her agenda of growing with the Sub System that she had. Honestly, to Jin, did not care much at this point as he was happy to see the both of them since it had been a long time away from home.

The other spectator was none other than the Higher Demon Lord who had put him to this trial. Baal was standing at the side waiting for the human emotional part to subside before coming towards Jin and thanking him.

"In just a few seconds, my powers seemed to be returning to me. The trial had been completed rather successfully."

"Do I really have to beat up those demons and Celestials just to get your powers back? We could have done from here as well." Jin asked even though he gained a lot from this trip just as how he did from the Synthesis World. It was like a major side quest done and he got the powerup he needed but he wished that his minions or partners be more transparent in their transactions.

"All I can say is that the deed is done and dwelling about the past is useless. I had also just received a secret communication telegram from a particular Celestial. It looks like you had done more than expected from me." Baal said as released his current form and turned into something similar to Moloch. But instead of a minotaur looking puppet like his friend, he transformed into a goat with a miniature crown on his head.

"Is there a need to transform into a puppet?" Jin asked as Qiu Yue picked it up to check the details of his transformation.

"He is cute though in this form." Qiu Yue argued.

"That is not the point. Why does he need to transform into a puppet?" Jin questioned once more. He was expecting more of a crazy more evolved looking Demon considering he was said to be a Higher Demon Lord.

"I need to hide my presence. The puppet form is what Moloch had invented in order to keep all the demonic energy inwards, preventing any possible detection unless you are like a metre close from me." Baal replied.

"So, does that mean Moloch is actually quite powerful as well?"

"Ehhhh. That is something you have to ask him. I am not obliged to say anything about his powers unless he wished to show it to you."

"Alright, then at least tell me he is a Higher Demon like yourself."

"Of course he is. How else can he be my second in command, my trusted partner for such a long time?"

"Well, you did try to kill him that one time when you were wearing that odd looking crown," Jin recalled while scratching his unkempt chin.

"That…is within expectations that I know he will find a way to save me from the mess that I put myself in." Baal tried to lie his way out but it was pretty obvious that he never had such an intention. In fact, Jin believed that this plan to get his powers back was all Moloch's idea including the cooperation pact with the Celestials. However, he still could not understand why every single outer plane being would always want to fight against him to test his strength before telling him their actual objective.

It was not as if they were not rational beings in the first place who could at least sense the aura that he had been emitting. Jin sighed and took it in stride before looking at the Goat Puppet and asking whether he wished to explain himself.

"Then I assumed you already met up with Vishnu?" Baal asked and Jin nodded his head.

"Not the most memorable portion of the trip but surely a turning point. He did lower his powers quite a lot to fight with us, otherwise there is no way I am able to win him. Though we do have some tricks behind our sleeves to make sure that we can survive his onslaught."

"…Ah. I just received his Celestial message as well." Baal suddenly said which made both Qiu Yue and Lynn lost in the conversation. "Let us go outside. There is a messenger waiting for us there."

In response to Baal's request, they were instantly teleported outside and Baal pointed ever so subtlety while still being carried around by Qiu Yue. If anything, the softness of the puppet toy felt like the many plushies that Jin had issued out. It was to the point he felt that Baal had copied the very same plushie texture because of its popularity.

But that did not matter as when they were outside of the dungeon supplier store, there was a group of Northern Indians in black suits looking intently at them. One of them even raised his palm and a small V appeared in the midst of it.

That was the sign that Baal was searching for and beckoned the group to meet up with them.
