Chapter 1284: Peppers in Doubt

Chapter 1014 – Peppers in Doubt

"We will undoubtedly refuse!" The Nine Oceans Phoenix declared without a moment's hesitation.

"Yeah, I expected as much." Jin sighed since the Phoenix had reacted just as he had feared. "I'd probably do the same if someone offered me something like this. It does sound too good to be true, doesn't it. However, I just want you to fully hear me out while we rescue your other egg. And if you don't mind, please pass that message on." Jin decided not to say anymore as he believed that it might be best to try again once he had reunited the entire family.

Without any clues or direction to look at, she had no other choice but to pass all that frustration into protecting the one kid she had gotten back that was now right in front of her.

"We will take care of your baby and make sure that it will recover. Meanwhile, you should return to the frontlines else the othe-"

"Why should I leave my child with you?!" The Nine Oceans Phoenix spread her wings as a threat to Jin, agitated that he had asked her to leave her precious child. "After what you've just proposed, you might be as scheming as the person who holds my other egg! You may have put it in a nice way, but you just want to use us as well!"

"Please be rational, Lady Phoenix! I've just asked you to come because you are the lead-"

"I do not give a damn about that horde! All that matters is that my child is with me! I'll stay here until she is awake again!" The Nine Oceans Phoenix screeched.

"She huh…" Jin finally learned the identity of the Phoenix and maybe because it's a female, she was more protective of it. Who knew what law of the jungle they had to obey if they birthed a female chick.

Nevertheless, this Nine Ocean Phoenix was becoming a bother by making things overly complicated which caused Jin to literally scratch his head.

If he went out, asking to lead the horde, the winged monsters and the Zurgling Queen would most likely assume that the Phoenix mother had been killed or captured.

On the other hand, if he didn't move out, the winged monsters and the humans would just have a bloody battle on each side. Alas, harmony would be the most preferable solution, since that would ensure the most allies gather to deal with the Demon Rats, yet it seemed that fate had decreed that for once Jin would have to settle for one side or the other.

This was merely the capital and there were other Southerners in various towns, but he could most definitely forget hiring anyone from Southern Star. Manpower wise, the humans could be in the thousands which would be a boon fighting the semi mechanised demon rats. Still, Jin decided to clear his hand from the Southerners and fully assist the monsters from the monster horde.

They were stronger, they hit harder and certainly the harder choice to endeavour. Jin could have killed all of them and made them his allies by capturing them. Then he could have easily gotten humans on board to his side, but he could not just turn off his consciousness.

Although he was aware that not every single person there was guilty, the problem was the general mentality of the Southerners, that had allowed them to do such horrible things to the Nine Ocean Phoenix's chicks and other monsters.

"This is just a headache, you just have to make the hardest choice in life, eh Jin?" He thought to himself as he opened the portal once more and subsequently landed on Carbon. A number of the winged monsters were looking at him as if they were waiting for their leader to return.

"Your Leader, the Nine Ocean Phoenix has seen the terrible state her child is in, and decided to stay with it until the chick recovers from the human's brutality. I know some of you must have doubts or suspect that I am bluffing, so I am going to do something that I would never have thought possible to prove to you that I'm indeed on your side." Jin spoke as he called up Peppers by his side.

"Yo, Boss. What do you want?" Peppers asked as she was raring for a fight when she came out of the portal. It had been quite some time since she was allowed to create havoc instead of having to play a supportive role.

"You see that capital over there? I want you to blast it to kingdom come." Jin said and Peppers who instinctively said yes to anything containing the word blast, immediately jerked in her reactions and looked at Jin.

"Could you please repeat that? You want me to…?" Peppers asked for another confirmation in case she had heard wrongly the first.

"Gather your power and erase that city from the map. Whenever you're ready." Jin spoke it out loudly and clearly so that the monsters could hear his orders too.

"You're aware that if I do that, the System might not have the capability to capture all of them, right? I mean perhaps 30-40% of whoever is still in there. Anything more would be lost due to the overflow of souls. This is not like the Giant World where those peeps were just mindless monsters wanting to fill their stomach with a meal of meaty animal folk." Peppers cautioned the dungeon supplier.

"We might be forced to act as the bad guys in the future for certain worlds. It's probably for the best to pick that act up as soon as we can to learn and acclimatise to it." Jin sighed and if they were not surrounded by monsters, he would have most likely also dropped his shoulders in defeat.

"Those WORDS!" Kraft came out from nowhere once again and hugged Jin. "I've been longing for you to say those for a very long time!!!"

"Huh, what?!" Jin did not expect Kraft to appear to intervene and turn such a delicate situation even worse. Did the crafty fox really have to appear when he was about to make a choice which would undoubtedly lead to many sleepless nights? (Yes, yes he DID!)

"Alright, Peps! Since this is a historic moment, let us help lessen the guilt of our reborn Master. There's no need to kill them all in one go. In succession would be fine as well, right? Then again they're indeed human sc.u.m worse than trash, so nobody would blame you if you wanted to show us a 10 on the Pepper's scale." Kraft suggested as he lifted Jin up and twirled him around the Devil Dragon's back.

Meanwhile the monsters (and Forneus) were speechless at the weird scene they were having to watch.

"Well, if you say so." Peppers shrugged her shoulders upon Kraft's comment and raised her staff. "Yo, Queen! Get your little kids out of the area or don't blame me for turning them into!"

The Zurgling Queen scoffed at that command, thinking she had to take orders from a human. "I shall merely do it because you are aiding us! But as soon as we see any indication that you might betray us, we will come after you no matter how powerful you are."

"Hah! You can keep those words to yourself." Peppers did not really have much qualms now knowing that Jin gave that command with decisiveness despite it coming a little as a whim. She had already double checked since the mage bellator wanted to make sure Jin was aware of the potential consequences.

"Then without further ado." Peppers waved her staff in a circular motion as Jin's monsters were already in full retreat.
