An hour after the mysterious Armored Devil finished his negotiation with the Earth Dragons, the Supreme Commander of the Alliance, Zion Leventis, went to meet them. Even though the Earth Dragons had been told beforehand that the Supreme Commander of the Alliance was just a young human, they were still surprised to see that the one that bested their armies was a mere Rookie. Thirteen was well aware that the reason why the Earth Dragons were guarding the gate was to wait until it fully matured. Once it was mature enough, it could allow a Majin Prince to cross over to Pangea, which would be the end of their mission. Thirteen glanced at the Dimensional Gate which had grown relatively smaller after his persistent attacks on it. 'At most, this gate will need ten years to fully open,' Thirteen thought. 'That is more than enough time to make the necessary preparations on my end.' Simply put, just like the Earth Dragons, he also needed time to bolster his forces and technology. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 Of course, the Earth Dragons weren't aware that the reason why Thirteen created Project Athena was to deal with such powerful threats that might one day appear in the world. If Nautilus was already a threat to most Jinns and Majins, Athena would make them wish that they never listened to his proposal for a non-aggression pact. "With this, we have reached an agreement," Thirteen said after they had finalized their talks. "Don't worry, I know you guys have been very bored watching that Dimensional Gate for a very long time. "A few hours from now, some of my people will come and build something that you guys will definitely enjoy." "Something we will enjoy?" Rogg, who was still regenerating his injuries, snorted. "What do you humans possibly possess that we will find entertaining?" "You'll see later," Thirteen replied. "Actually, it is already on its way. Just wait for an hour, and you will understand what I am talking about." Although Rogg was still unconvinced, he no longer cared whether the human was lying or not. The most important thing was that they no longer needed to worry about any attacks that were coming from the Armored Devil. They were not really worried about the Human Army. But, with the mysterious person joining them, things could get really bad, really fast. An hour later, the sound of helicopter rotors could be heard in the surroundings. "Please don't attack them," Thirteen stated. "They are the ones who will bring you some form of entertainment." The Transport Helicopters from the Leventis Family landed hundreds of meters away from the Earth Dragons. Michael, who was leading this special mission, looked at the Rank 9 Sovereigns and held back the shudder that ran down his spine. He didn't know how his nephew could stand comfortably beside monsters that could pinch him to oblivion. Still, since they were asked to come for a reason, he decided to simply watch for now. "This is my Uncle, Michael Leventis," Thirteen said with a smile. "If you need anything in regards to entertainment, you may contact him directly. "As for military matters, you can talk to me directly. I'll make sure that you don't regret forming a non-aggression pact with me." The Earth Dragons watched as the humans started drilling and erecting steel pillars a few hundred meters away from them. All these workers were Engineers from the Leventis Family, and this was their first time being in close proximity with Rank 9 Sovereigns. If someone were to ask them what they were feeling right now, they would respond with "I'm not getting paid enough for this sh*t." However, they didn't dare to say such things out loud because of the repercussions involved with it. They simply did what they were ordered to do. The faster they finished, the faster they could get home to their families. Two hours later, a thirty-meter-tall projection appeared at the center of the Steel Pillars that formed a Hexagon. "Let me explain how this works," Thirteen said after the Jinn-inspired Movie Theater was built. "With voice command, you will be able to switch channels to watch different shows from the Human Continents. "News, Entertainment, Lifestyle, and other things can be seen from this projection. For example, If you are curious about science…" Thirteen used his remote to change the channel of the projection to Animal Planetz. But by pure coincidence, it showed a scene of two Sea Turtles mating, which made Thirteen cough lightly. "Oops! Wrong channel," Thirteen said as he hurriedly changed the channel to show a popular children's show about Wanderers who'd transform into masked Heroes and save humanity from the Jinns. Michael and the other engineers sucked in a deep breath, fearing that the Earth Dragons would be offended by seeing Jinns losing to humans. However, to their surprise, the Earth Dragons watched the show with solemn gazes while chatting with each other. "Do humans really have those giant things made up of metal that shoot those beams?" Rogg asked. "We call those Giant Robots," Thirteen replied. "And yes, humans do have them." 'No, we don't!' Michael and the engineers almost shouted in unison, but they were able to hold back their words. If humans really had giant robots that could shoot laser beams, they would have defeated the Jinns who conquered the Rigel Continent long ago. "I'll teach you guys how to navigate the channel as well as search for shows that you might like." Thirteen stated. "You can also watch movies, but there is a separate subscription fee for it. "Um? What are subscriptions? It's something that you need to pay to unlock certain shows that are exclusive on the Leventis Channel. How to pay for them? Well, a few Beast Cores and Empyrium Mines will do the trick. Don't worry, the Leventis Family can act as an intermediary for you guys… we will even give you discounts." Michael could feel cold sweat forming on his forehead because his nephew was truly fearless. The fact that he dared to scam Earth Dragons to pay subscription fees with mining rights to Empyrium Mines and other precious resources near the center of the Rigel Continent was very daring. However, it would also make Zion extremely rich. Just as Thirteen expected, the Earth Dragons had really been very bored with their duties, so having something else to watch aside from their Dimensional Gate really piqued their interest. He stayed with them for a few hours, telling the Earth Dragons what shows to watch. Just like humans, the Earth Dragons had different interests. Rogg preferred watching the news, while the other Earth Dragon named Brazzom liked to watch the history of Pangea. The last Earth Dragon, Endi, who seemed to be a female Earth Dragon, seemed to have taken a liking to watching Drama shows. Since the three of them liked to watch different things, Thirteen decided to scam—err, help them achieve what they wanted. With the three Earth Dragons' unanimous approval, the Leventis Family was given exclusive mining rights to a large Palladium Mine and a small Empyrium Mine, which were only twenty miles away from the location of the Earth Dragons. In return, two additional Movie Theaters would be built, allowing the three Earth Dragons to watch the things that they wanted to watch without conflicts. Jinns and Majins, especially those who had reached a high enough rank, always craved something new. This was why some of them had formed mutual and beneficial relationships with the human kingdoms and formed a non-aggression pact with them. Thirteen planned to do the same with the Rigel Continent, distracting the Earth Dragons from amassing their armies to repel the Wanderers from their lands. Also, after having a talk with Zed, Evuvug, and Erasmus, Thirteen understood that the Earth Dragons weren't as bloodthirsty as the other Jinns and Majins. They were defensive monsters by nature, so they wouldn't really take the initiative to attack unless they were ordered or provoked into it. Since the possibility for a dialogue was high, Thirteen decided to throw them a few carrots to smooth things out. Naturally, he didn't plan to let the Alliance make contact with them. He and his Uncle, Michael, handled all communications between the Earth Dragons and the Wanderers. That way, the Monarchs and the other Prestigious Families wouldn't be able to share the pie he had prepared for himself. If his relationship with the Earth Dragons also improved within the next few years, he might even be able to bring them to his side. This was going to be a long-term plan, but with Erasmus aiding him from the side, the possibility existed. "Some people in the Alliance might take advantage of you guys," Thirteen said with a serious expression on his face. "So, if anyone proclaiming that they belong to the Monarch Clans or the Prestigious Families appear, feel free to repel them. If they remain stubborn, feel free to attack them. "Tell them that you only deal with Zion Leventis. If they persist, contact me or my Uncle, Michael. We will deal with them for your sake." "You're surprisingly a good human," Rogg said. "Very well. We will do as you say." "Good." Thirteen smiled like the third-rate Villain Cannon Fodder like he was. "Let's all have a happy and long-lasting cooperation between us." The Earth Dragons, who had the ability to change into smaller Beast Humanoid Forms that were over two meters tall, shook hands with the teenage boy. They were not aware that the smile on Thirteen's face wasn't out of sincerity. No. It was the smile of a no-good human who was already busy formulating plans on how to make the Earth Dragons abandon their Master and jump to his bandwagon.
