Ravaging the world's technology was an easy task. The people of this world were more organized than I thought.

Entering our following location, some of the ZTF's members were already guarding their labs. Before they noticed we were here, I silenced them and made them enter a night of eternal sleep.

"Linsey, a nuke tried to hit us."

"Really???"

Out of curiosity, Linsey asked if a nuke had tried to attack us. I nodded, confirming that it was true. It seems like they can't risk it anymore. Knowing that we would survive this attack, a more dangerous attack would be coming.

"The nuke has been stopped, but I doubt they would let us keep doing what we were doing."

Linsey understood what I said. If a nuke doesn't work, the people of this world will use a nastier method to eliminate us.

There might be a weapon here that could destroy us. I mean, Agnus was an exception, but if they could create that monstrosity, I wouldn't doubt them.

"Charles, look!"

Linsey found another interesting object. This time she found a weapon that shot white goop. A very corrosive substance that could melt many things. Strangely it looks like the white goop that comes from my little brother.

"You think these colors are intentional?"

Yet again, Linsey started to make jokes again. But earlier, when someone from the dwarf's side asked for my size, I wouldn't be surprised.

"There were some horny dwarfs earlier, it would be no surprise if it was."

Playing with the gun spray, she destroyed most of the lab. We had already robbed most of their research lab and had our storage space full.

And once again, moments later, I felt something coming. I didn't know what it was, but I didn't need to stop it.

Linsey hadn't realized, but I teleported us to a different planet and checked out the power of the weapon they sent.

The weapon had landed and destroyed everything around it. I could see that the attack was smaller than the new but more devastating.

Instead of a wide-area attack, it was more of a focused attack. I felt the power coming from that missile. Coming out of the missile was a black hole that ripped through everything.

It was a good thing I ran away from it. Even my regeneration might not survive that; I would be gone somewhere in space if I did.

"Did something happen?"

Linsey saw my expression and wondered what had happened. I was more expressive than I thought. This has been happening even more recently.

"Yeah, an even more destructive weapon was sent. I doubt anyone in our world would survive this attack."

That wouldn't freak Linsey out. With me here, I wouldn't let her die easily. Plus, she probably has some escape tools when things get out of hand.

"It's a shame that I couldn't see it..."

A crazy person's mind is hard to figure out. There were times when Linsey was predictable, but in moments like these, you would never know what she thought.

"If it helps, I can explain was too me."

"It's them!!! Stop them!!!"

Before we could continue, more enemies appeared. Now that we had everything I needed, it was time for us to finish our job.

[Third Person POV]

"THOSE DAMN IUC!!!"

A person could be seen screaming at the top of their lungs. Only anger could be seen because this war should have been over already.

"Boss! Wouldn't it be better if we made a treaty?"

"A TREATY??? ARE YOU STUPID??? WE STILL HAVE A NUMBER ADVANTAGE!!!"

When questioned by his subordinate, out of anger, he crushed the person's throat. A different person showed up seeing this sight.

"Ace. Angry again? It's unsightly to have that much temper."

Ace, the man consumed in anger, calmed down once he saw the woman pointing out his anger. They weren't friends but co-workers in the same position.

"Paige. What do you know? You don't have much to do with this war."

"And that's precisely why I am doing well. War mongrels like you would fall one day, and I'm someone who won't take part of this."

While these two were on the same side, you could tell they had negative thoughts about each other. They say opposites attract, but that didn't seem to be the case.

"That's why you're stuck in this position for nearly a decade. I only needed a few years to become your equal."

The history between them wasn't much. Before Ace was in the same rank as Paige, he worked as her underling.

Showing results when you had talent was something not many could do. Ace had just done that and climbed through the ladder rather quickly.

Paige shook her hand, showing that she was disappointed by the man in front. Having ambition was great, and all to her, but too much ambition would lead to one's downfall.

The two may not get along, but as someone who had taken care of Ace in the past, knowing that they would disappear didn't sit right with her.

"Why are you here? If you're wasting my time, I suggest you leave."

"Boss told you to take care of the problem directly. If the situation gets out of hand, you would be replaced."

While Ace was competent in some ways, this was the path he chose. Taking the risker part of a job, he waged wars for the ZTF. Ace's success rate for his job was relatively high, but it didn't matter.

If he managed to fail his duty in this battle, many things would be lost. And his role will be confiscated. With the huge advantage the ZTF had, the humiliation would be spread if they lost this battle.

Paige's warning from their boss was a reality check that Ace needed to hear. Failing this job would mean losing everything, while winning was his job.

"Then leave. I need to prepare."

Ace couldn't afford to lose. He couldn't neglect those words and tried his best to finish this war as fast as possible.
