Back home, Yunan was getting ready to start his climb in the dungeon as well as begin the plans for the upgrade and troubleshooting of the errors and things he was not very satisfied with in his new toys, the toys were very efficient for what they were created to do, but the performance numbers were not up to par with Yunan"s standards, the mana consumption was about 10% higher than he wanted it, there was a small waste of mana during conversion to magic and the reshaping took a bit too much time than expected, that time could be the difference between life and death in a battle.Otherwise, he was very satisfied with the ability the toys showed during the mission, especially with the speed of casting and the almost nonexistent lag between commands and actions, he was most proud of the performance of the armour, shield and weapons used during the fight, as well as the unarmed combat ability, this thing would be the target of anyone that could pilot it, thankfully both Martin and Markus were not interested in the toys, other than watching the fights and performance, both men new how greedy humans will break this world a second time if this was revealed.
Speaking of Martin, when he was brought in to the prison and showed the memories from the faction leaders, the ones about recruiting adventurers before they reached the 80th floor as well as some other points breaking the law of the guild and some agreement that were established across the years, Martin immediately killed them and announced that this faction was destroyed because they were recruiting adventurers from early floor, and happened to cross someone who already belonged to a mighty force, thus it lead to their own demise, he did not comment on the battle golems and the floating fortress, answering simply "who ever built that can be my fast friend if he lets me ride it".
This was a blatant answer to all, as long as no harm is done to the planet and these armament were not used to break the law, he had no issue with it, weapons of ma.s.s destruction were prohibited, true, but how many mighty ones dwarfed ma.s.s destruction weapons in their might, things were different for the surface world and Tartarus, if Tartarus was unhappy with the existence of the weapons, she would just turn them into dust, why did Martin have to go against a power capable of building such things without being spotted, these hidden people were the most docile and the most dangerous at the same time.
Back to Yunan, he was knee deep in ectoplasm while trying to climb even faster than usual, with his wives and pets putting as much effort as they could, they seriously wanted to reach the 80th floor to play at conquering the world, they surely were not going to use the new toys to skip the floors to come, they knew better than that, only hard work paid off and only hard work didn"t leave regrets behind. That was a truth everyone in the new Valyrians adhered to.
As for the factions in the 80s, they were paying so much money to gain any information on the battle, video footage, memory imprints, pictures and anything else just to compile enough data but they still came short, there was no discernible way to tell who made the attack or why, the only concrete information is that who ever attacked had an axe to grind and the fire power to have killed the entire population of the faction, still they let many of those that did not fight against them flee, this was not a simple take over, this was a strategic strike with surgical precision, the second part was that whoever made the golems was simply conducting a performance test, that was why they did not send more than one golem at a time and the doom castle only fired at the end of the whole thing.
Using a grudge to conduct performance tests capable of bringing a full fledged faction to its knees was simply something nightmarish, this faction was safe ever since they offended someone simply because the offended party did not feel like dealing with them, in fact they chose to use the faction for the test because monsters don"t fight back and expose weakness like adventurers do, making the rest of the factions feel threatened. If there was a faction out there so powerful they thought of other factions as good test subjects, things would turn really bad, even ugly if they decided to just dismantle all factions and rule this place.
Thankfully they did not know that the people who were behind this can not even be called a faction, a family at most, but they just had the right mindset and the tools to just grow without end. If they knew that they were scared of a brat that just reach the 55th floor they would bang their heads against the wall and just die.
On the side of Debauchery party they were grinning from ear to ear at all the looting they did, the did not leave anything behind, as long as the grave robber that Fae summons thought it was valuable, it was brought back home, the riches they handled were beyond magnificence, it was sparkly and beautiful, Leader was already getting faint from all the excitement, Fae was sleeping in Dustan"s arms, while Bai was breaking the locks on the most important vault they found in the memories.
This one was full of technology for the past ages, although they didn"t know much about it, ot was not a bad idea to research the technologies that gav man dominance over the planet before the power of mana, especially their way of sharing and saving information, it was beyond a doubt a good possibility to upgrade the genie of the house and therefore upgrade the new toys to something much more exciting to play with. Lucky as always Yunan and friends who were dealing with the banshees queen, hot themselves a total of 10 golden books, each detailing how the civilization before the great mana corruption made the world into a haven for humans, inside those golden books was the way to understand and use the technology from the past. When Yunan saw the t.i.tles of these books, he knew his wife was sending him a kiss through the ether.
