When Jin returned from the dungeon instance he had created, he was not particularly surprised at the entire Bearling Capital in ruins. The night was still young but the burning from his initial destruction as well as the damage caused by the Mecha Dragons was in a huge mess. Yet, he did not feel any regret doing any of all these mainly due to the fact that he knew this was all just a Virtual Simulation to occupy the inhabitant's mind.
Still, it does rub him off the wrong way thinking that this might happen to his world if the Celestial would ever attack him and that was only when Kraft mentioned that word to him before disappearing. It would have been fine if the Celestials had hit Pandapolis or Demopolis where all the combatants there were able to resurrect and live to fight another day.
However, it's a different story for Jin's world. Those people can be resurrected but the materials needed were just too expensive for it to happen as a daily occurrence. Not to mention, the materials were limited in quantity mainly because there are rich people in such a world and their greed knows no bounds.
Jin could only sigh and hope to think of something before it was too late. But for that, he needed not just the power of being the Head of the Royal Panda Clan. He needed to show that he had the capability to do such things as well. In the end, money and power are the only few things that make the world go round. By building this Virtual Simulation regionally and later nationally, it would not only shorten his goal to be the Number One Dungeon Supplier but also the wealth and capital to do other things.
Who knows, maybe the System had some secret trait and unlocked something special for him when he reached the top 100 Dungeon Suppliers in the universe. But all he could do right now was to get what he needed a step at a time before reaching such a lofty goal.
"Commander, you are back." Yinn was the first to note that the presence of Jin's vitals was available in the System once again. "Was it a horrible fight?"
"Eh…It was okay." Even though the Mechanoids knew how Jin had fought and how he had armies to command, they would not believe it if Jin were to say a devil came in to help him defeat the biggest, baddest Mecha Dragon with just a blooming of a flower. "I had lots of help. They were fantastic."
"Man, I would die to see your army defeating that Gigan Dragon. But where's the corpse though?" Diaz asked as she jumped up with her Fortress Golem to have a look at where Jin was and saw that there was nothing from him except for a pile of Dragonlings lying all over the battlefield.
"Eh, they kind of overpower it so much that most of it disintegrated. You know, like how Tellie shoots things and nothing ever comes back from that? Something like this." Jin said and the rest laughed. "And yeah, that is why I am still here alive and kicking without being knocked out cold once more. Besides, I can't be sleeping during a challenge against the Royals, right?"
"So, what are we going to do about the challenge? Has it been resumed?" Page questioned and Jin shrugged his shoulders.
"I am not sure about that, I got to ask that Royal Guard Leader. For all I know, the Royals would have run away from the challenge." Jin replied.
"Nah, if they do that, the Three Winged Angel would definitely kill them since they are running away from their duty and challenge." Click remarked while Jin tried to contact Steele.
"All the Mecha Dragons are down. Please don't tell me that we are expecting more to come?"
"Supposedly. But I have enough authority to block that move from the Queen who was dying to get more of it out when the rampage started. I showed the rest of the military and support logistics that were responsible for the activation of the Mecha Dragons. They held their hand and disobeyed the Queen upon seeing the destruction that had wrought upon Bearling City." Steele said.
"So, do we need to fight or something or am I given the red carpet treatment to the Royals?" Jin asked and Steele kept quiet. The commander of the Grey Bears sighed and looked Steele straight at his eyes.
"You are a calm and collected leader. The Empire would lose a great leader if he were to be foolish to listen to a Queen who was mad enough to cause this kind of destruction. What happens when I am not around? The Dragons would have already destroyed the capital and later moved on to wreak havoc at the surrounding cities. It would go on until they are satisfied and maybe even get the approval of the 1st Tier Dragons."
"I am not able to give you the location of the Queen but I am also unable to leave my current position due to the needs of the people. How about you come and defeat me so I can give you the location of the Royals." Steele said as he showed the location where he was, trying to aid the Guards who had been injured and for them to receive help as soon as possible. That was when Jin understood what he meant. "Very well," Jin said as he asked to Click to do him a favour.
"You keep this communication channel on, for I will find you and kill you for it," Jin said and later signalled Click to execute a shot towards that location.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard and smoke emerged at the location pinpointed by Jin. The communication turned fuzzy for a moment before it got disconnected. Jin was extremely satisfied with the 'attack' and told the rest to move to Bearling Palace.
