Ranking System

[Charles POV]

This world held no more meaning. Linsey and I had everything needed. It's time to ensure the ZTF would lose hold of this world.

[Third Person POV]

The world Astro was in chaos. A weapon of destruction had been launched, which had worried the world's citizens. Coupled with the ZTF being extremely active, everyone felt something was wrong.

As for Charles, he was ready. At a rapid pace, his vision started to overload. Monsters from every direction of the world began to appear.

All five planets from Astro were now in danger. The mental fatigue he accumulated was much more than what he had done to the second-ranked world.

With planets added to the mix, this world was much larger than the others. For Charles searching everywhere within seconds was draining his mind.

Monsters from hell started chaos, with them toying with the citizen of Astro, the people from the ZTF tried their best to suppress these monsters.

Despite all of their effort, the ZTF were overrun by these monsters. With their numbers, they were only food.

With the large number of monsters destroying everything, the competent members of the ZTF did their best to suppress the movement of these monsters. Some of them were successful, while others were not.

The death rate in the world was ramping up, and the world's residents were breaking apart. As for the survivors, they evacuated away in hiding from these monsters. The people here could only hope that the monsters would disappear.

With no other choice, the people of this world used their weapons to attack these monsters. To test the power of these monsters, weapons from a wide variety were used.

Most were unsuccessful, but the weapons that transported or slowed them down were the only things working.

With how fast these dwarfs adapt, every power that could slow or transport these monsters was used. Being a race that could think, most potential dangers were avoided.

Of course, Charles wouldn't let this end. Checking out why his monsters were disappearing, he found the problem that was happening.

"You think I would allow you to end this battle like this?"

Talking to himself, Charles wouldn't allow this to happen. After invading about ten worlds, he would claim he was an expert. He prided himself in doing this and wouldn't allow himself to fail.

Linsey, sitting beside him, had somewhat understood what was happening. His one sentence let her understand the situation outside.

After thinking for a while, an idea came to mind. Charles had negated all the weapons they were using by jamming them with a curse.

Once the weapons were jammed, the relief was that these dwarfs had disappeared. If their weapons were useless, what more could they do?

Only those who could defend the world stayed while the others ran. With their weapons removed, they were now a liability to others.

"Why is this happening?!!"

One of the ZTF members screamed in agony when it was caught by one of the monsters. Not all monsters were the same, but without a doubt, they were evil beings that treated others like toys.

And with hundreds of these monsters, those who were caught by these beings might as well end their lives to save them from the misery of being tortured.

Within an hour, most of the cities were razed. The population lost only thirty percent, with most of the dwarfs hiding. As for the ZTF, they were nearly annihilated, with them being on the front line.

"YOU VIEL CREATURES!!! I WILL SEND YOU BACK TO WHERE YOU COME FROM!!!"

A man that had black ooze all over his body screamed in anger. Ace, someone important to their group, had arrived to stop this chaos.

Against these monsters he could stand toe to toe with these creatures, and with the support he was receiving, he had an advantage in this battle.

Coming from a fourth-rank world, it would be illegal to interfere with the war happening in this war, but since these monsters were from a fifth-rank world, he was allowed to.

While Ace could only stop one at a time, this was better than those who could stop none. Charles felt an overpowering battle from afar. Checking that someone was standing toe to toe with one of his monsters, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Before he let Ace take out one of his monsters, he tried to hinder him. At first, he tried to sever Ace's body, but the body allowed it to turn into a black ooze, rendering that useless.

If that didn't work, he tried to send Ace to space. Somehow he broke off the portal, making it useless.

"FIND THE PERSON WHO'S DOING THIS!!! WE MAY BE ABLE TO STOP THIS IF WE FIND HIM!!!"

Charles heard what he said and tried to annoy him more. If he can't be dragged out by traditional means, he might as well let those monsters kill him.

Using his curse, he gave Ace as much debuff as he could. From slowing to weakening, and from Ace's expression alone, Charles knew what he was doing was working.

"YOU BASTARD!!!"

Angry at Charles' annoying powers, the monster took the chance to attack Ace when he least expected it to happen. Even with his strange ability blocking most of the hits, Ace took considerable damage.

When Charles was spectating something, he had a brilliant plan. Taking out a communication device from this world, he connected and showed his face. This had happened before in Gaia, but a whole different plan was in store for Charles.

"Hello, everyone from the world of Astro."

"As you may know, I'm Charles, the one who is leading the attack of these monsters."

This revelation made an uproar. Those who had communicated with him before were disappointed by reality. They were excited to see a human for the first time and didn't expect to think they were this cruel. If they survive this disaster, this lesson of trusting a stranger will be stuck in their mind.
