Ranking System

The ZTF knew an attacker had started an invasion in this world, but they disregarded it, thinking it was a scout.

What could one person do in a battle of millions? Especially in a second-ranked world, like? Even if someone was insanely strong, the chances of sending one should be low.

Since that was their thought process, Charles had destroyed one village, a town, and a city. Next up would be a major city that they had occupied.

With the ZTF gathering materials from this world, Charles had walked in without being noticed. When he saw this place, it was like a sweat factory.

The golems that were working here were like machines compared to the ones that were up in the less cultivated area.

Charles frowned at this sight. Working as a mascot wasn't as bad as this, but remembering the hardship that came with it had brought him unpleasant memories.

"I didn't take him the type to pity someone."

Agnus looked at Charles. From Charles' expression, Agnus knew what he thought. Since Angus didn't know much of Charles' past, he couldn't have guessed this would happen.

Linsey didn't say anything and stared at the screen. Instead of concentrating on Charles, she stared at the golem's work.

A sadistic streak struck her, and she couldn't help but be ecstatic seeing the conditions of these golems.

Those who had felt her intention couldn't help but sigh. Linsey's nature was known to everyone here. She had been friends with Agnus for a long time.

Back to Charles, after looking at the sight for a few minutes, he got back to do what he needed to do.

Finding the nearest ZTF member, Charles scouted around the whole factory and started eliminating all the weakest members without effort. All of them had fallen to the ground, unsure of their death.

"What's going on!!!"

Seeing a subordinate die without any reason was a scary thing. Before he could investigate what had caused his lackey's death. A shadow had hidden behind him.

The shadowy figure, Charles, had grabbed the leader of the ZTF member of this group by the throat.

"Who are you!!!"

"Does it matter? All you need to do is answer my question."

This time Charles wasn't playing around. He didn't need to entertain the ZTF leader of this factory. All he needed was the location of the remaining factories in this world.

"Tell me where all your organization in this world is located."

By gaining this information, he could wipe this group out first. At first, the information spilled from the leader had the leader flabbergasted.

Being forced to tell information to your enemy was a scary thing. Not only would you be cursed for betraying your people, but knowing that you were their downfall was a sin that most people wouldn't be able to handle.

"Fuck!!! Fuck!!! FUCK!!!"

The tears fell, and Charles had crushed his neck. The tears didn't move him at all. Even if he cared for his people, he was still a piece of shit in the eyes of Charles.

Charles then destroyed everything in this factory, including the golems that worked for the factory. He felt that ending their lives would be better for them. Charles wasn't a saint, but if he didn't come along, they would have been slaving for all their lives.

"Ho. He does have a serious side. It looks like I don't have to drill it into his head."

Agnus saw the efficiency that Charles displayed. He will be less harsh on Charles next training.

"Linsey, what's his past?"

Instead of Agnus, one of Agnus' subordinates had asked Linsey about his past. Linsey told them without much guilt that Charles' past may be terrible, but many were worse. And Linsey knew that Charles wouldn't care. His life now was much better.

"I see... Talent does come in many ways..."

To Agnus and his subordinates, they had seen many talents before. There were talents born from wealthy families, poor, and average backgrounds.

"To become the strongest in his world within months. It's a pity he was born into that world. Agnus, do you plan on investing in that boy?"

Having seen enough, one of the subordinates asked Agnus about his thoughts on Charles. If Agnus doesn't invest, then she will do it herself.

May, one of Agnus's subordinates, was from a fourth rank world. While his powers were still unknown, from what he displayed, he could easily be on par with people in a fourth rank world in the far future.

Talents could be seen everywhere, but those nurtured the best would bloom. Waiting for Agnus' answer, she waited for his words.

"Invest? While I do feel that Charles had meet my standards, there is someone else I'm more interested in."

Everyone except Linsey knew what he meant. Linsey was shocked to hear what he had said, but with how far the system had spread, there could be talents that outshine Charles himself.

"I see..."

May, hearing that, nodded understanding. The person that Agnus wanted to invest in was a monster one would barely see in their lifetime. They were lucky that Agnus somehow got that talent early before anyone else.

They would have nominated that person to come to this war if they weren't from a higher-ranked world.

With Agnus' plan in store, May was cooking up her plans. Hearing that Charles had met the requirement for his standards, her choice to invest in Charles' motivated her even more.

Thinking about this, Charles had been destroying everything left and right. It was a shame that he couldn't destroy the world. He needed the strong golems for their resources.

Knowing the general location of every base made it better for Charles. While it was still tiring to go everywhere in a matter of hours, the world had been conquered.

Watching Charles, Agnus' subordinates praised Charles for his work ethic. Finish within hours, the first world Melleica was now out of commission for the ZTF.
