"My my. To see a bunch of useless gods trying to pressure a few capable humans? Not sure if that's 'god like' behaviour from all of you." Diabolos said as he fully emerged out of the portal.
"Insolent Demon! By the command of this system, get on your knees at this very instant!" The Gods shouted through the System and used the imposter Jin as a medium to perform the order and yet nothing was happening.
"What? Get on my Knees? Are you kidding me, you worthless lowlifes? Can't you see that I am still flying? Instead, I should demand that you be my chair for me to sit on" Diabolos scoffed at the feeble attempt by the Gods. The Fake System tried once more to initiate the command and it was to no avail. According to the previous System records, Diabolos should be considered non hostile and they should still not be able to control it without much difficulty especially now that the imposter Jin is of a higher cultivation grade compared to the time he collected Diabolos into his repository of monsters.
Once more, the fake Jin tried to control it as per any minion contract as the Fake System had assumed that all the contracts were created equally. To their frustration, they now realised that it was not as simple as they thought it would be.
Apparently, the System, Jin and the monster had to be in agreement to be summoned or controlled. It was apparent but considering how much effort Jin had put in the effort to 'soothe' the hearts of his minions through adequate housing, decent food and sufficient rewards, there was a catch that people outside the System would not have known.
It was initially not created fairly since the System was created with Jin having all the rights to control any monster but it was not until his first disastrous encounter in the Dungeon World that forced him to take action and learn how to be more responsible for his own powers.
That was why contradictory to Kraft's initial assessment of thinking the Imposter Jin would be real trouble, both the Fake System and its Jin Clone had no powers over any minions and that included Moloch, Baal and Diabolos who were in at the scene.
"Tsk tsk, there is one thing you missed. I had never been contracted with that puny Jin human. I can remember a crappy piece of paper was still dangling right outside my enclosed adobe but he did not force me to sign or whatsoever." Diabolos said as he started to raise his claws and dark magic began to revolve around his tips.
"So, do not even think of trying to CONTROL ME!" Diabolos shouted and the gods suddenly screamed through the system as if they were being agonised with excruciating pain. The rest did not know the powers of Diabolos could transcend through planes but in actual fact, it was merely the fact that the banished Demon Prince had used his magic through the fake Jin and it somehow affected the Gods' collective that were viewing through the System.
"You have no idea who you have angered or dealing with! The gods squirmed as they made the empty threats but soon after, Diabolos conjured even more demon magic causing a temporal space rift to emerge right in front of him. As he used his wings as an extension pair of hands, he ripped open the rift and it revealed a group of people being wrapped with stained black chains, desperately trying to free themselves from it,
"Heh, guess I am too influenced by that brat's anime culture. But I shall try it for the fun of it." Diabolos said to himself loudly. "Itadakimasu."
With that word of 'thanks', he raised his claws towards the chained up gods and started draining their life essence. "It's a great thing that most of them were all gathered in one area." Diabolos chuckled as he finally had a proper meal since forever. (Granted, Lynn's dishes were great but human's chi was minuscule that it only tickled his hunger pangs.)
Once Diabolos sucked up the entire circus dry, he did not immediately close the rift and instead did something else for insurance. He tore a piece of his chest carapace, bit it to infuse the piece with some demon magic and threw it into the Gods plane before closing the rift.
When it was done, both the fake Jin and System went absolutely quiet and the Sub Systems started to take this opportunity to restart the main System. Suddenly Qiu Yue and Lynn's Pandamonium Apps start to ping loudly indicating to not just them but to everyone who possessed the Pandamonium App that there would be an emergency maintenance that needs to be done in fifteen minutes' time.
"Massive compensation would be given accordingly but modules within the Pandamonium App that did not need an internet connection can still be used." A picture of a small Panda with the safety helmet bowed to apologise to the people who were using it. It was also worded to make it as if there was a significant security flaw that the developers had found but had not yet been compromised by any hackers because of the constant monitoring that the tech team had been doing.
Also, while it might be just a small matter if the emergency maintenance was done if the app only had a small number of users using them. But to date, there were at least fifty thousand concurrent connections to the System every single minute so a proper warning was needed to ensure that the users could anticipate some downtime.
And in order to quell any disgruntled customers, the wording of massive compensation had actually made people look forward to the maintenance since most apps that performed emergency maintenance merely apologised for the disruption of service unless they were a gaming platform.
And with that notice out to the public, the Sub Systems could now attempt to reset the main System, hoping that the gods did not destroy the 'Will' of the Elder Panda Clan members when they took over it.
