In their imagination and from what they had heard, Dragon Soul would never resort to attacking a team they were negotiating with.
But this formation clearly signaled aggression.
There was no room for discussion whatsoever.
Of the 38 teams, 37 demanded that Dragon Soul share their gathered resources.
Among these were the Sea Lion Force, Tanqueria Special Forces, and King Hawk, some of the oldest and strongest teams.
Could Dragon Soul Special Forces really dare to attack them?
Despite rumors circulating that Pierre of Sea Lion Force had some dealings with Robin a few days ago, this was about the competition and the stakes involved.
They would surely maintain Sea Lion Force’s usual strategy of controlling the narrative of the competition.
It was precisely because teams like Sea Lion were involved that they felt confident enough to challenge Dragon Soul like this.
At the forefront of Dragon Soul Special Forces, Brendon walked with a bloodthirsty excitement radiating from him.
Anyone could see that the young warrior’s sharp eyes were filled with unrestrained killing intent.
And that bloodlust glimmered, dancing and pulsing with exhilaration.
What kind of person is he?
Someone excited by slaughter–either a madman or a terrifying beast!
To their left, Maverick was equally poised for battle, his whole body exuding the scent of violence.
Meanwhile, the commanders of the mystic realm’s various teams were still processing the situation.
In their minds, they were still in the midst of a negotiation.
How could Dragon Soul Special Forces suddenly attack their teams at this point?
At present, the 38 remaining teams included the Sea Lion, Tanqueria, King Hawk, Centraline, and Maple Special Forces–powerhouses among powerhouses.
The crucial thing was that these powerful teams had also been part of the chorus demanding that Dragon Soul Special Forces share their supplies.
No one believed Dragon Soul Special Forces would actually attack them.

Yet, the commanders at the Mystic Realm Command Center completely misjudged Robin and Dragon Soul Special Forces‘ resolve to fight.
As the commanders continued fantasizing about forcing Dragon Soul Special Forces to back down, the battle program for Dragon Soul Special Forces was already activated at the junction of Area Three and Area Four.
Brendon, Maverick, Ernest, and George were the first to charge at the commanders obstructing their path.
“Move!” Maverick barked sharply.
Rolf Wheatler, commander of the Elairan Special Forces, smirked and said, “Brothers of Dragon Soul, how do you plan to handle this supply issue? See, Sea Lion Force is also waiting for your-”
Before he could finish his sentence, Brendon’s fist slammed into his face.
.
Rolf collapsed instantly.
Other commanders at the scene were left in shock.
Is Dragon Soul Special Forces really just going to act like that?
Before Scentialand and Duneward’s commanders could recover from the shock of Elairan Special Forces being taken down, Ernest and the others had already swung their iron fists, knocking away any obstruction, in their path.
Elairan Special Forces members immediately went on the offensive.
Gavin roared, “Everyone, clear the way! Anyone who dares block our path will not be spared!”
Maverick, Brendon, Ernest, and George didn’t wait for the opposition to retreat. This was a legal brawl- they weren’t about to back down!
The four of them attacked with such ferocity that it was like smashing a watermelon, each punch bursting someone’s defenses like fruit!
Their blows were aimed at taking lives.
No mercy was given–those they could kill, they killed, those they couldn’t kill, they crippled.
In short, they were determined to do whatever it took to enjoy themselves!
The Dragon Soul Special Forces soldiers plunged forward in a wave of unrelenting violence.
In less than five minutes, they had cleared their path, creating a wide, open passage.
At that moment, every team commander finally realized.
The Dragon Soul Special Forces of this tournament were not the type to be swayed by public opinion or moral pressure. No amount of pressure would make them yield.

In their team’s history, Dragon Soul had already achieved some of the most stunning victories the world had ever seen.
Back then, Dragon Soul Special Forces feared no opponent, no matter how powerful. Even if all the world’s top forces united against them, those so–called ace” teams could only retreat in defeat after facing Dragon Soul.
Wherever Dragon Soul’s battle blade pointed, there were only ants to crush!
This wasn’t some mythical legend; it was reality!
Earlier, teams like the Elairan Special Forces and Scentialand’s Poison Poppy, which were severely lacking in resources, had relied on the strength of Sea Lion, Tanqueria, and King Hawk to back them up. But when it came time for the confrontation, they hadn’t even participated in blocking Dragon Soul’s advance.
People soon realized they’d only been cheering from the sidelines, hoping to take advantage of the situation.
When Dragon Soul actually struck, Sea Lion, King Hawk, and the other veteran top teams didn’t step in. They remained on the sidelines, quietly waiting to reap the benefits of the chaos.
Though their hearts burned with frustration, who dared challenge the giants of the battlefield?
At this point, no one had the courage to step forward and negotiate with Dragon Soul.
The weaker teams–like Wild Wolf and Crocodile Special Forces–had been crushed by Dragon Soul, and now, no one wanted to be the next to fall.
Without resources, they could only hope to fight back and escape the dark void of Area Four. But if Dragon Soul were to eliminate them completely, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
Meanwhile, at the transition between Area Three and Area Four in the mystic realm, the battle had already begun.
In the Mystic Realm Command Center, Robert Neel, the commander–in–chief of Elairan Special Forces, was still raving.
“Dragon Soul Special Forces, y–you’re out of your minds!” he shouted.
“You only care about your own interests, completely disregarding the reality of the other teams. Your selfishness and lack of responsibility will surely be despised by everyone!”
The commanders of the participating teams chimed in the group chat, supporting Robert’s outburst.
Robin glanced at the shouting individuals, his expression unreadable. He smirked slightly before responding directly, “Shouting from the sidelines is pointless. If you’re so eager, come to the command -hall, and I’ll show you what responsibility really means Unless, of course, you’re too much of a coward to
face me!”
The group chat fell silent.
Pierre, the commander–in–chief of Sea Lion Force, responded instantly, “Robin is right. Responsibility is something we all need to discuss face-to–face in the conference hall.”
When Pierre, the leader of the Sea Lion Force, spoke, everyone went quiet. If Robin, the commander of

Dragon Soul Special Forces, was still considered a newcomer to the tournament, his words couldn’t command respect from every team. But Pierre, the world–renowned “King of Mercenaries,” was held in high regard by all.
A minute later, inside the mystic realm’s commander–in–chief’s conference hall.
Robin and the commanders–in–chief of the participating teams stood at the center of the room. Cyril, the organizer, and the tournament enforcement members entered as well.
Robin pointed directly at Robert, the commander–in–chief of Elairan Special Forces.
“This is a serious competition, and you, as a military commander, have been yelling at Dragon Soul Special Forces for being selfish and irresponsible, when you should be commanding your team. Tell me, what does responsibility mean?”
Robert froze for a moment. As he faced Robin, the force of his presence made it hard for him to breathe.
Quickly, he tried to muster his own sense of authority, pushing back with all his might to make himself. appear stronger than Robin.
“Then.. let me tell you. Responsibility means… sharing the resources that Dragon Soul Special Forces obtained with all of us!” he said, looking repeatedly toward Pierre for validation.
Robin took slow, deliberate steps toward Robert, his voice cold and biting..
“Share with you? Who the hell do you think you are?
“If Dragon Soul isn’t strong enough to protect itself, if we don’t have the strength to fight off even greater threats, then how are we supposed to be responsible?
“A bunch of weaklings, begging for fairness, and you dare speak about responsibility with such noble words!
“Today, I’ll show you what true responsibility is–true power!”
With that, he slapped Robert hard across the face.
“You’re a coward!
“This tournament was created by the Thairex Order to resist extraterrestrial threats. If everything were as you say, with everyone begging for fairness, where would the responsibility be?
“Let me give you a piece of Draconian wisdom: ‘If you can’t even manage your own house, how can you hope to rule the world?‘
“True responsibility begins with true strength. You, a worthless pile of trash, are unworthy of addressing
me!”

The members of the Thalrex Order’s Enforcement Group stood motionless, their mouths shut in order to avoid drawing attention.
The atmosphere in the conference hall, deep within the mystic realm, was thick with tension.
In that moment, everyone present couldn’t help but pay serious attention to the new, young commander of the Dragon Soul Special Forces.
Looking up under the bright lights, this bold, defiant man from the East appeared like an untouchable, cold–blooded warrior–steadfast, commanding, and earning respect from all sides.
In the brief silence, no one dared to challenge a single word he spoke, each one cutting through the air with cold precision.
The weak beg for justice; only the strong shoulder true responsibility.
Robin’s take on the word “responsibility” made everyone reassess not just the Dragon Soul Special Forces, but also the noble, compassionate people behind them.
They were a people who valued peace, kindness, and loyalty to their friends. Though they had endured hardships, betrayal, and pain, they never allowed themselves to succumb to bitterness or despair.
They might not seek out conflict, but they weren’t afraid of it either.
Centuries of struggle and history lingered in the air, every word reverberating like the toll of a bell, warning treacherous minds: Anyone who dared to insult or provoke them would face relentless punishment, no matter the distance.
What Robin spoke was undeniable truth.
But no one was willing to give up immediate rewards for such unwavering ideals and truths.
They all understood the heart of the competition: respect is earned through strength.

This wasn’t a simple contest or practice–it was a battle where only the winner survives, and the loser fades into irrelevance.
The ultimate victor wouldn’t just win glory; they would also shoulder a responsibility that weighed heavily upon them.
“This competition, hosted by the Thalrex Order, is of great importance.
“Though the threat of an alien invasion seems distant, the possibility of total destruction is always present.
“How could those chosen to defend humanity’s future be small–minded individuals who could only wallow in self–pity, unable to grow strong?
“The weak cry for mercy, while the strong embrace what true responsibility means.
“Responsibility is about self–improvement.

“How could anyone who can’t even protect their own team claim to be responsible for the world?”

Surman scoffed, breaking the heavy silence in the room. “Ha! Self–improvement equals responsibility? That’s just an excuse to hide the Dragon Soul Special Forces‘ selfishness and narrow thinking!
“In such harsh times, if we can’t support each other, if we can’t stand united, then what’s the point of responsibility?
“If humanity ever faces an alien invasion, will Dragon Soul, with its focus on self–improvement, refuse to help others fight back?
“Is that what you call responsibility?
“If so, even if you’re the top commander, what responsibility does Dragon Soul really have?”
Surman’s sharp questions were aimed directly at Robin and the Dragon Soul Special Forces.
Hundreds of eyes turned toward Robin, waiting for his response.
Robin’s lips curled into a cold smile as he pointed at Surman. “You’re sharp, I’ll give you that.
“You’ve cleverly twisted the concept, turning someone who runs away from military duty into a so–called ‘man of the people.‘
“If that’s the case, then you and your cowardly, worthless team, dressed in those uniforms, are nothing but/ a joke!
“In any other situation, I would have shut you up for good.”
Surman’s face turned red with fury as he pointed a trembling finger at Robin. “H–how dare you insult me…”
Robin stepped forward. “A team that relies on thuggish reasoning has no right to discuss such serious and noble matters with me!”
Before Surman could respond, Simmond, the commander–in–chief of King Hawk Special Forces, stepped forward with a grin.
“Commander–in–chief Ramsey, your speech is impressive, but you’re still too young.”
He nodded toward the commanders of the other regions.
“Young and passionate–that’s a good quality.
“That said, since this is just a competition, a game, there’s no need to take it so seriously.
“Some teams lost their chance for energy boosts once they entered Area Three, and as a result, they struggled to keep pace.
“They’re not weak, not at all; they just ran out of luck.
“The Dragon Soul Special Forces, however, got a bit lucky. There’s no need to turn a stroke of good fortune into some grand claim of responsibility.

Robin cut Simmond off before he could finish. “What’s your deal? Are you just some fool trying to stir trouble?
“What a bunch of irrelevant weaklings. I’m not even interested in wasting my time with you,” Robin added dismissively.
Simmond’s face turned red with fury, his pride as commander–in–chief of King Hawk Special Forces bruised. Pointing angrily at Robin, he spat, “Are you challenging King Hawk Special Forces? Do you even know our track record?
“We’ve been in the top three for the past 20 years. You Dragon Soul are nothing but garbage scraping the bottom of the barrel!”
Robin’s lips curled into a cold smile. “You think Dragon Soul is garbage?”
“Absolutely!” Simmond stepped forward, eyes blazing with fury. “Compared to King Hawk Special Forces, Dragon Soul is nothing!”
Robin chuckled, a glint of mischief in his eyes. “Alright, now you’ve piqued my interest. I think it’s time to teach you a lesson,” he said, pulling out a wet wipe to clean his hands as he flashed a grin at the towering Simmond.
Simmond paused for a moment, then hissed, “You want to duel, kid?”
“Duel? You’re not even worth it,” Robin replied with a soft laugh. “To be honest, I’m just going to beat you up.”
“Son of a…” Simmond’s face turned bright red with anger as he ripped off his battle gear and took a fighting stance.
Reynold Frost, the Commander of Centraline Special Forces, strolled over with a smile. “Simmond, it’s just a game. No need to get so worked up.
“He’s still young and hasn’t experienced real combat. Don’t waste your time with these self–righteous kids,” Reynold added, trying to calm the situation.
Alexander Marff, the Commander of Tanqueria Special Forces, patted Reynold on the back. “Reynold, stop playing mediator.
“At this point, as commanders–in–chief, our duties have ended. Once the teams move into Area Four, it’s -up to the on–site commanders,” he explained. “Since were just standing around with nothing to do, why
not let Simmond and Commander–in–chief Ramsey from Dragon Soul have a little competition?”
Robin tossed the wet wipe to Pierre and smirked. “Let me make this clear again: This trash isn’t worthy of a duel with me. I’m going to teach him what respect really means.”
“You insolent-” Simmond began, but before he could finish, something swift shot past him.
Slap! A sharp crack echoed through the room, causing the entire hall to shudder.

The entire conference room fell silent as Simmond was sent flying by Robin’s slap.
Simmond, the commander–in–chief of King Hawk, was known as the most elite member of his team.
A war god from Ugonland, he had served for years, participating in over a thousand intercontinental–level battles. He had been an elite member five times and commander–in–chief twice, representing King Hawk Special Forces in international military competitions.
His achievements included second place once and five third–place finishes–a record few could match.
In terms of personal power and leadership, Simmond was considered one of the world’s top military figures.
Before Pierre rose to prominence, Simmond was widely regarded as the King of Mercenaries.
Yet, despite his reputation, this legendary war hero was knocked out by a single slap from the young commander of Dragon Soul Special Forces.
What made the situation even more shocking was that Simmond hadn’t even had the chance to fight back.
Is it pure luck, or has Simmond lowered his guard?
As the stunned silence stretched on, Robert, the commander–in–chief of Elaria Special Forces, slowly stood up from the floor.
“General Yates, are you alright? This guy’s out of control!” he said, rushing to Simmond’s side, trying to help him with overdone politeness.
“Shut it!” Simmond snarled, pushing Robert away, his eyes narrowing at Robin.
Robin stood there, towering over them, his figure radiating authority in the glowing light. He seemed as solid as a mountain, exuding a quiet yet undeniable power.
Simmond, who had spent nearly two decades as one of the most feared figures in the mercenary world, had never been rattled by an opponent like this.
It wasn’t fear–it was a deep, involuntary respect.
Powerful people respect strength. It’s a silent acknowledgment that runs deeper than words.
Simmond, the war god, had little patience for the weak or sycophantic.
While he might joke around with commanders from teams like Elaira or Crocodile Special Forces, he viewed them as nothing more than amateurs.
Being in the same room with these weak, sycophantic fools was beneath him.
Robert tried again to offer assistance, but Simmond shoved him aside.
“Move! I can stand on my own!” he snapped.
“Okay, okay,” Robert muttered, embarrassed. “General Yates, that kid is too … reckless!”

Simmond brushed the dust and debris from his clothes “Keep your mouth shut! You’re not fit to comment on Commander–in–chief Ramsey!”
Robert froze, clearly confused. “General Yates, he just insulted you. We should team up and-”
“Team up?” Simmond sneered. “Do you think you matter? Get out of my way!”
With a forceful push, Simmond shoved Robert aside and turned to face Robin. “Commander–in–chief Ramsey, I want a real duel with you!”
Robin, calmly wiping his hands, glanced at Simmond without any emotion. “You sure you want to get beaten?”
Simmond burst into laughter. “Commander–in–chief Ramsey, you’re amusing. What I mean is, my friends and I will challenge you!”
Ced Becker, the commander–in–chief of Maple Special Forces, and Paul Skeldon, the commander–in–chief of Kangaroo Special Forces, stepped forward to stand beside Simmond.
Both Ced and Paul had been Simmond’s comrades in arms.
Twenty years ago, the three of them had fought together in the South Panacea Fleet.
“Simmond, take a break. I’ll handle this cocky kid! Paul said,” slapping Simmond on the back and cracking his neck.
Paul was even more muscular than Simmond.
His strength rivaled Simmond’s, and in the South Panacea Ocean region, he was regarded as one of the most formidable fighters.
Ced, commander–in–chief of Maple Special Forces, stretched and eyed Robin. “This competition’s been strange. It seems like if we don’t teach this rookie a lesson, he won’t learn his place.”
He then turned to Pierre, who had been silent throughout. “Captain Pierre, am I wrong?”
Before Pierre could answer, Robin gave a dismissive snort. “We definitely need some new rules. Otherwise, you idiots will keep thinking you’re special.”
D*mn!
This young Eastern commander’s words were sharp–an unexpected display of audacity!
Everyone in the room stared at Robin, their faces twisted with disdain and anger.
It wasn’t just arrogance; it was an outright humiliation.
Ced from Maple Special Forces growled, “Kid, are you calling us trash?”
“No, no!” Robin shook his head, unfazed, “I’m not just talking about you two. I’m saying every commander in this room is garbage!”
Are you serious?
The entire room was left in stunned silence, struggling o process what had iust happened.

Paul, visibly furious, burst out laughing and pointed at Robin. “What a cocky little brat. You’re definitely the most punchable guy I’ve ever met! Don’t you think so, Captain Pierre? What’s your take?”
The room fell deathly quiet.
Everyone turned to glance at Pierre, the captain of Sea Lion Force.
It was no exaggeration–Pierre was a true powerhouse in this world.
His strength was unmatched, and his mere presence demanded respect. His imposing aura made everyone instinctively lower their heads in his presence
It was clear that Robin’s defiance had targeted everyone, including Pierre himself.
Paul’s words had shifted the focus of the situation to Pierre, and now everyone’s attention was on him.
At that moment, every commander–in–chief in the room hoped Pierre would deliver a harsh lesson to this young, cocky, yet somehow intimidating Eastern man.
“It’s true.” Pierre nodded slowly, his response predictable.
Ced, the commander–in–chief of Maple Special Forces, laughed loudly. “Today, I’ll teach this arrogant brat a thing or two about humility!”
One by one, the other commanders joined in, all of them laughing along.
But as soon as Ced finished speaking, Pierre spoke again, his voice steady and composed. “What I mean is, Commander–in–chief Ramsey is right–every team in this competition is garbage.”
The smiles vanished from every commander’s face.
Once again, the room fell into an oppressive silence.
After a moment, Ced chuckled nervously. “Captain Pierre, are you actually praising that little punk from the East?”
“Well, since everyone’s in such a good mood, how about we do something that’ll make you all completely crumble?” Robin said casually, tossing his wet wipe toward a trash can 20 feet away.
The pristine white wipe sailed effortlessly through the air, breaking the tense silence, and landed perfectly in the can.
“Mr. Higgins, according to the competition rules, is Area Four in the mystic realm considered a free zone?” Robin asked.

“In other words, does it mean any team that enters Area Four can choose to fight or cooperate however they want?”
He paused, letting his words hang in the air.

Everyone froze, stunned in disbelief.

Is the young commander–in–chief of the Dragon Soul Special Forces truly about to issue such an outrageous command?
If he does, this won’t be a competition anymore–it will turn into a contest of egos!
This guy is completely out of his mind!
Everyone knew that even if Robin went ahead with this reckless order, it would still be within the rules and no one could criticize him for it.
Cyril was left speechless.
After days of observing the bold and impulsive behavior of this young commander, he had grown accustomed to the chaos he stirred up.
There seemed to be no limi
to what Robin would dare to do, no matter how insane it seemed.
Cyril glanced over at the commanders–in–chief of the Maple and Kangaroo Special Forces, who were still unconvinced, and shook his head with a rueful smile.
These two are done for.
Everything he had witnessed so far had proven one undeniable truth: The commander of the Dragon Soul Special Forces always backed up his words.
Those who called him arrogant were simply too far behind to understand.
Cyril had no doubt about it.
The Eastern man standing before him was as powerful as the Young Lord Dragon he had met 20 years ago.
Maybe even stronger.
Stronger than anyone could ever imagine.
“Commander–in–chief Ramsey, you’re absolutely right, Robin said, nodding. He pointed to Paul, the commander–in–chief of the Kangaroo Special Forces, and Ced, the commander–in–chief of the Maple Special Forces, before turning back to Cyril. “Mr. Higgins, according to the rules of the Mystic Realm War Games, if I command the Dragon Soul Special Forces to eliminate these two teams in Area Four, it would still be allowed, right?”
Cyril winced. He had been expecting this question.
He shrugged. “Yes, of course. It’s within the rules.”
“Great!” Robin declared, then turned to the enforcement team. “Please open the public communication channel for the mystic realm.”
Without hesitation, the enforcement team followed Robin’s command and activated the communication settings.

Before anyone could process what was happening, Robin issued another command. “Dragon Soul Special Forces commander Gavin, listen up! I order you to eliminate the Kangaroo Special Forces and Maple Special Forces from Area Four within five minutes!”
What the hell?!
This isn’t a joke!
The commanders in the room weren’t just shocked–they were on the brink of losing their minds!
Pierre, standing in the crowd,
Couldn’t help but smirk.
He had completely acknowledged the power of this legendary figure from Dragon Soul.
Ced and Paul, those foolish men, never realized they were provoking someone who can’t be crossed by anyone.
Human nature was strange, indeed.
People often tried to make sense of the world’s harshness using the twisted logic of the petty and deceitful.
What they didn’t understand was that those who schemed evil would ultimately pay the price.
Paul and Simmond, still recovering from the shock, yelled out in anger, “Kid, are you out of your mind? Area Four is pitch
You won’t

“That command will only waste energy, and it might just backfire and destroy you.”
Robin smirked coldly.
“The most astonishing aspect of this world is how the impossible can become possible!
“Heh, how could weaklings like you ever understand the thrill of challenging the heavens, earth, and men?”
Meanwhile.
At the moment Robin’s command reached them, the Dragon Soul Special Forces in Area Four quickly mobilized!
After devising a swift battle strategy, the Dragon Soul team pinpointed the positions of the Kangaroo and Maple Special Forces and began closing in.
An intense, high–stakes operation was about to unfold.
Area Four of the mystic realm was a desolate, inhospitable place with zero visibility. The howling winds, swirling dust, and freezing temperatures made it even more unforgiving.
All teams entering Area Four had to rely on their senses especially hearing, to navigate through the total darkness. They had no choice but to move cautiously, feeling their way through the unknown.
Before they even stepped into Area Four, Robin had quietly instructed Freya to record the movement patterns and the unique sounds of each team’s footstep as they entered.
The Dragon Soul Special Forces trained every member in this skill–how to find their way using sound

and touch in complete darkness. This ability was critical in unpredictable environments like this one, where visibility was nonexistent.
Freya excelled in this area.
The military’s Special Operations Assessment Center had evaluated soldiers with specialized skills like hers. Her expertise in night operations, especially her ability to sense her surroundings through sound and touch, made her one of the top soldiers in the force.
In total darkness, her recognition abilities were almost as sharp as if she were using her eyes.
At the entrance to the canyon in Area Four, Freya quickly memorized the formations and the distinct steps of the 35 teams entering the area.
Within a mere 50 feet, she could identify the formations and the personnel of any team with perfect precision.
In the mystic realm’s commander–in–chief’s conference hall, after Robin issued his order to eliminate the Kangaroo and Maple Special Forces, an eerie silence filled the room.
But after a short pause, the commanders from various teams couldn’t help but smile smugly.
In an area like Area Four, where visibility is nearly impossible locating the teams is almost inconceivable. How can Dragon Soul wipe them out without anyone noticing?
It sounded like a fantasy.
The quiet was broken by a sarcastic laugh from Cary, the commander–in–chief of the Sakurania Special Forces.
“Commander–in–chief Ramsey,” Cary said, smirking. “Your personal combat skills might be impressive, but being a good commander isn’t just about strength. A great team requires more than just some brute force.
“In a place like Area Four, where visibility is nonexistent, just locating the Kangaroo and Maple Special Forces would be a challenge for your Dragon Soul team How are you going to eliminate them?”
Alexander, the commander of the Tanqueria Special Forces, stroked his thick beard thoughtfully and nodded. “Commander Barber has a point
“A true commander doesn’t make impulsive decisions.
“If you ignore the terrain, the weather, and the harsh conditions, and issue commands recklessly, you’re gambling with your team’s future and their lives.
“That reflects the traits of an unfit commander.
“Any leader who can’t control their emotions will face the consequences of their rash actions.”
Robin glanced at his watch and smiled faintly. “Is that so? Well, if Tanqueria Special Forces wants to test Dragon Soul’s ability to fight in the dark, I could always add another command: Make your team disappear from Area Four as well.”
Alexander shrugged. “Commander–in–chief Ramsey, I’m not interested in getting involved in your games. I’ll just sit back and watch.”

Ced and Paul laughed. “What’s there to worry about? Captain Pierre, take note–we’ll sign it!”

Pierre quickly conferred with Cyril, instructing the administrative assistant at the Mystic Realm War Games‘ oversight center.
As per the agreement made between Robin, Ged, and Paul, three copies of the betting contract were prepared and printed.
“Mr. Ramsey, please take a look at these,” Pierre said, respectfully handing the three contracts to Robin, his posture and demeanor filled with deference.
This strange scene instantly quieted the previously lively conference hall.
A subtle, but powerful, realization dawned on everyone present.
Pierre, the leader of the Sea Lion Force and widely regarded as the King of Mercenaries, was showing profound respect toward Robin.
The entire mercenary community recognized Pierre as a figure of immense power. Not only did he lead one of the strongest teams, but his personal strength and leadership were renowned across the globe.
For someone of Pierre’s stature–a celebrated war hero with such an influential background–to show such respect to a young commander from the Dragon Soul Special Forces was highly unexpected.
A collective gasp rippled through the hall.
To make someone like Captain Pierre–the King of Mercenaries–behave so deferentially, who exactly is Robin?
Almost everyone in the room quickly realized a serious problem.
They had all been blinded by their own assumptions. Looking back at the entire competition, it became clear that the Dragon Soul Special Forces, particularly is leader, had shown a side of themselves vastly different from the past.
The Dragon Soul Special Forces, once known for being humble and restrained, now felt worlds apart from the organization of the last two decades.
In truth, this new Dragon Soul was beginning to resemble the bold, fierce warriors from the past.
All the commanders had heard stories from older military veterans about the glory days of the Dragon Soul Special Forces. Some had even researched the legendary battles it fought in its prime
During those times, Dragon Soul had fought relentlessly, fearless of death, displaying an unbreakable will.
With their blood, sweat, and determination, they conquered every arrogant challenger.
The fierce pride of Dragon Soul subdued one enemy after another, earning it not isolation but global respect.
A team that could make its foes tremble was a force to be reckoned with–unshakable, unyielding, and fearless in the face of any challenge.
As the mystic realm war games progressed, the other commanders came to a startling realization–Dragon Soul had never truly disappeared!

In the now–silent conference hall, everyone observed Robin as he signed the betting contract. The glances Ced and Paul received were laced with pity.
History had long made one thing clear: any team targeted by the Dragon Soul Special Forces was already as good as dead.
There had never been an exception to that rule.
Ced and Paul watched as Robin signed the contract, with panic creeping in.
Despite their outward calm, they couldn’t shake the nagging fear that they might have made a grave mistake.
They glanced at the other commanders, who were watching them with barely concealed scorn.
When Pierre handed them the contract, their hands began to shake.
It no longer felt like a bet, but like a death sentence.
In the past, Pierre would have likely stepped forward with some comforting words.
Even Alexander of Tanqueria Special Forces would sometimes offer a casual word of encouragement.
Other teams, like those from the Sakurania or Elaria Special Forces, would have been supportive.
But today, these commanding figures were acting so oddly and neutrally toward Robin.
Ced and Paul both sensed an ominous feeling in the air
However, at this moment, considering such matters felt pointless.
The die had already been cast, and there was no turning back.
This bet wasn’t a matter of choice–it had to be made, or they would lose all their dignity.
Ced and Paul took the contracts from Pierre and quickly signed their names, their hands trembling.
It was too late for doubts.
The battle in the mystic realm had already begun, and the fates of the three teams–victory or defeat- were about to be decided. The tension in the air was palpable, as everyone braced for what was coming.
For a brief moment, Ced and Paul were rattled, but they quickly regained their composure.
There was no way they could believe that Dragon Soul Special Forces would manage anything unexpected
in Area Four.
Area Four was a desolate, lightless wasteland–how could they possibly track the movements of Maple and Kangaroo Special Forces in such a place?
They were confident in their reasoning.

Maple and Kangaroo Special Forces would certainly be aware of Dragon Soul’s next moves.
The best thing for them to do would be to hide their positions, regroup, and prepare for a counterattack.
If they played their cards right, the two teams could even team up to defeat Dragon Soul once and for all.
Inside the Mystic Realm War Games‘ conference hall, all the commanders–in–chief of the 80 teams, along with the members of the oversight committee, were glued to the data streaming in from Area Four.
The screens showed nothing but black–there was no visual of what was going on.
The only thing they could rely on was the data, which would tell them the strengths and weaknesses of each team.
But Dragon Soul’s data remained strangely stable, with no major changes.
This observation led the commanders to believe that Dragon Soul might still be hunting for Kangaroo and Maple Special Forces.
While the commanders speculated quietly in the conference hall, in Area Four, Freya, the deputy captain of Dragon Soul Special Forces, had already pinpointed the locations of both Maple and Kangaroo Special Forces.
Instead of picking up the pace, they maintained their steady march, heading toward the left front.
Dragon Soul had chosen to eliminate the closest target first–Maple Special Forces.
They moved into position behind Maple Special Forces and prepared to strike from the rear. One by one, they would take them out silently.
For each Maple Special Forces member eliminated, Dragon Soul would send in a replacement, shadowing them and matching their movements.
Two minutes and thirty–three seconds later, the survival data for Maple Special Forces read “zero” on the commander–in–chief’s electronic display.
All members of Maple Special Forces who had entered Area Four were now presumed dead.
Just two minutes and thirty seconds later, Kangaroo Special Forces met the same fate–complete annihilation.
And just like that, Dragon Soul Special Forces had wiped out both Maple and Kangaroo Special Forces.
Ced and Paul stared in shock at the “Game Over” screen, their faces twisted with regret and despair.
Simmond, the commander of King Hawk Special Forces, who had been watching from the sidelines and had previously doubted the situation, broke into a cold sweat.
He was relieved he hadn’t pushed this young Dragon Soul commander further. If he had, King Hawk Special Forces would likely have met the same end, and the game would have ended for them in Area Four as well.
Alexander, the commander of Tanqueria Special Forces, shrugged and grinned.

The atmosphere in the conference hall was thick with tension and silence.
The reports coming in from the mystic realm war games left every commander–in–chief of the participating teams in shock.
Dragon Soul Special Forces had once again defied all expectations, pulling off another impossible feat.
In the pitch–black, hostile environment of Area Four, they had wiped out two of the top–tier first–sequence teams in a mere five minutes.
They were a force to be reckoned with–an unstoppable, terrifying power!
At that moment, every team started to reevaluate the events that never should have unfolded in the first place.
Throughout the competition, the constant provocations aimed at Dragon Soul Special Forces pointed to something deeper. What did it all reveal?
It exposed the darker side of human nature–bullying the weak, making life difficult on purpose, and conspiring against others in cruel ways.
Those who were kind and compassionate were trampled, while the malicious and deceitful were celebrated.
This was humanity’s true nature. This was the behavior of the teams. And this was the conduct of those who thought themselves the elite!
This behavior led to suffering, conflict, and endless battles.
Disaster and disgrace didn’t come from the masses–they were the vile outcomes of those who believed they were above everyone else.
Those who cloaked themselves in false brilliance, seeking to prove their superiority, paraded their power and cruelty, turning a once beautiful world into an eternal nightmare.
To challenge such people, only the strongest force could make them understand that fear and defiance still had a place in the world!
Only then would they realize that using overwhelming power and strategies for selfish purposes would only lead to their own ruin.
Those who trampled on the rights of others would face the consequences–no matter how irreversible they were.
Pierre was the first to break the thick silence in the hall.

“On a personal level, I have the utmost respect for Commander–in–chief Ramsey. As a team, he is the opponent I hold in the highest regard.
“At this moment, I must say that any team attempting to take shortcuts in this competition will only disgrace themselves.
“This mystic realm international military skills competition, organized by the Thalrex Order, is designed to unite us against the unpredictable extraterrestrial threats of the future.
“It is not a platform for petty squabbles or selfish ambitions.
“If you lack the strength, then have the courage to step away from this competition.
“That would be taking responsibility–for both yourselves and the world.
“If dishonest and underhanded teams find ways to sneak into the finals, not only will it be disastrous for your team, but it will harm the entire world.
“Being at the front isn’t just about glory. As Commander–in–chief Ramsey said, it’s about responsibility!
“If you only seek the honor of standing at the front without the capacity to carry the weight of that responsibility, then what’s the point of reaching the peak of glory?
“I respect every strong opponent because wearing this uniform represents duty and a mission -not to oppress the weak, but to bring peace to the world.
“Those who deliberately stir up chaos are the true enemies of this great planet!
“Ced, Paul, I won’t directly comment on your actions.
“However, when it comes to this bet, I expect you to honor it like true warriors!”
With that, Pierre fell silent.
All the commanders–in–chief turned their attention to Ced and Paul, the leaders of Kangaroo and Maple Special Forces.
Ced from Maple Special Forces flushed bright red, standing still, unable to find the words.
Meanwhile, Paul awkwardly shrugged. “Captain Pierre, Commander–in–chief Ramsey, what I mean is … Could we reconsider how we fulfill the bet?”
Robin smirked coldly, “Don’t you think it’s shameful for a man to say something like that?”
Ced quickly added, “Commander–in–chief Ramsey, you understand how important the commander’s saber is to a general. Can we substitute money for the bet?”
“Sure,” Robin raised an eyebrow.

The commanders, who had been eagerly awaiting Ced and Paul to make fools of themselves, froze in disbelief.
Then, their looks turned to Robin, filled with disdain.
Each of their gazes carried a mixture of shock and contempt.
No matter how powerful someone was, once they traded their dignity for money, they had already fallen from grace.
No one could have predicted that the determined and stubborn commander of Dragon Soul Special Forces would actually agree to let Ced and Paul swap the general’s battle sword for
money.
As everyone in the room exchanged glances of disbelief and amusement, Robin added, “But don’t even think about offering anything less than ten trillion dollars.
“If you want to go with money, then you each need to hand over ten trillion dollars immediately. Only then will I reluctantly accept your proposal.”
The room erupted in astonished murmurs.
Ten trillion dollars–enough to fund the creation of 2,500 aircraft carrier battle groups!
Ten trillion dollars per person–won’t that be enough to buy the entire world?
Clearly, Robin was not willing to let them change the terms of the wager so easily.
Ced and Paul turned bright red. “How could we possibly have that kind of money? Commander–in–chief Ramsey, you’re just mocking us!”
Robin raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a smug smile. “If you don’t have the money, what are you even pretending for?”

Alexander let out a dark chuckle. “Ced, Paul, if you’re planning on backing down today, I won’t let you! Commander–in–chief Ramsey is my ally!”
Ced and Paul stood frozen, too stunned to reply to Alexander’s words.
They awkwardly lingered in the center of the room, unsure of how to respond, glancing helplessly at Cyril.
Cyril shrugged nonchalantly. “You two are in the wrong. Everyone else is right—if this is a bet, then you should step up and honor it like men and warriors!
“Even if this bet has no legal weight, in a place like this, if you go back on your word, it would be completely unethical!
“How could the Thalrex Order allow a team with no integrity to continue in this competition?”

Meanwhile, the competition in the mystic realm Area Four was coming to a close.
Out of the 35 teams that entered Area Four, 27 had made it through without issue, while the remaining eight had been eliminated along the way.
After a short break, the 27 teams that had survived were preparing for the final challenge.
The task: retrieve the qualifying token hidden deep within the jungle, located 300 feet ahead.
The first 20 teams to secure a qualifying token would move on to the next round of the L1 Mystic Realm Semifinals.
The committee headquarters would evaluate the teams‘ behavior throughout the process to determine which commanders–in–chief and vice–commanders–in–chief would advance.
Five minutes later, the teams stood together, ready, and charged forward toward the jungle to claim their tokens.

The jungle, where the 20 qualifying tokens were hidden, was a maze of strange complexity.
Nestled on a hilly slope, this forest was bordered on all sides by deep, tranquil waters.
The river, calm and undisturbed, reflected the sunlight, its surface gleaming like a delicate crystal ribbon.
The bright light shimmered off the water, creating a mystical glow that seemed to stretch through time, revealing every hidden corner of the world.
A thick, swirling mist clung to the jungle’s edge, surrounding the water with an eerie, otherworldly aura.
The mist gave the impression of countless unseen eyes observing the 27 teams as they charged forward toward the jungle.
The teams raced ahead, moving through the strange daylight that seemed to pulse with a supernatural energy.
It felt as though they were hurtling through a vast and distant galaxy, everything shrouded in mystery and uncertainty.
Every team was pouring all their effort into this final sprint. This was their one and only opportunity to make it into the L1 Mystic Realm Semifinals.
While only 27 teams were left fighting for the final spot, the stakes of this competition went far beyond the tokens.
Out of these 27 teams, seven would not make it through to the L1 Mystic Realm Semifinals. Among the remaining 20, the committee would observe the teams closely, evaluating the performance of their commanders and selecting the commander–in–chief and vice- commander–in–chief for the next phase.
The specific challenges awaiting them in the LI Mystic Realm Semifinals was still a mystery, and no one knew exactly what power or responsibilities the commander–in–chief would hold.
All that was certain was that the commander–in–chief and vice–commander–in–chief would earn exclusive access to the most prestigious, high–level negotiations during the final competition.
This mystery was clear to everyone, but there was one thing the teams understood: The commander–in–chief was crucial.
Beyond the honor, it was a ticket to participating in the world’s most important assignments.
No one knew exactly how the committee would choose the commander–in–chief and vice- commander–in–chief.
Chapter 987 What Else Can You Do
But one thing was certain–the 27 teams still in the race had proven themselves to be the best in the world.
Their commanders were experienced and skilled, with the ability to make clear, sharp decisions under pressure.
As they charged ahead, each commander kept a close watch on the environment, constantly assessing the terrain, risks, and potential traps.
This was no simple task. Snatching the qualifying token wouldn’t be as eavy as ruting into the jungle and grabbing it.
There was always something more beneath the surface. This was the mindset of any skilled strategist.
The simpler something appeared, the more likely it was hiding a trap.
As the teams pushed forward, they remained vigilant, scanning their surroundings for any threats.
The eerie river winding through the forest wasn’t the only concern.
Red warning signs reading “Restricted Zone” were visible at the back left corner of the jungle.
The first–level restricted zone was clearly marked with a warning: entering could trigger deadly traps.
The outer boundaries of the restricted zone were unmistakable: any team that crossed into the zone would immediately lose their chance to search for the qualifying tokens.
In other words, stepping into the restricted zone meant elimination.
When they saw the signs, the commanders quickly warned their teams to stay far away from the area, knowing that one wrong move could end their chances.
With the pressure mounting, every team was now pushing forward with everything they had The faster they entered the jungle, the greater their chances of securing the qualifying tokens.
Each team was tapping into its last reserves of energy. This was the closest they had ever come to victory, and the tension in the air was suffocating.
The closer they got to success, the heavier the weight on their hearts. No one wanted to fall short at the last moment, just before the finish line.
The rules of the Mystic Realm War Games in this area were simple: There were no restrictions, no limitations. Teams could attack one another without any rules or boundaries.
It was clear to all–this was a battle for survival.

If the teams had believed their strength was enough, they could have easily taken down their
rivals.
But every commander understood that even the fastest teams weren’t necessarily weak.
Attacking a stronger team would only lead to defeat. It was far wiser to focus on reaching the jungle, where the playing field would be more balanced.
At the start, each team kept its formation, subtly trying to overtake the others whenever an opportunity arose.
No team dared to engage in direct combat, knowing that any confrontation could waste precious time they could not afford to lose.
But as the jungle loomed closer, the teams began to spread out.
Some of the slower teams started to think about strategies that involved causing disruptions to slow down their competitors.
Scentialand’s Special Forces, having reached the one–third mark of the race, started to slow down. The closest team to them was Crimsonland’s.
Mona wasted no time, ordering her subordinates, “Take out Crimsonland’s team. If we hold them back, we eliminate a competitor.”
Scentialand advanced, blocking Crimsonland’s team’s path. Hammond, Crimsonland’s commander, glared in frustration. “Mona, what do you think you’re doing?”
Mona laughed mockingly, “Hammond, listen up–we need to take your team out. The fewer teams in the race, the better our chances.”
Hammond, seething with rage, retorted, “Why don’t you try challenging Dragon Soul Special Forces or Tanqueria Special Forces?”
Mona scoffed, “Dragon Soul? Tanqueria Special Forces? Are you insane?
“Those teams are far too strong for us to handle. They’ve wiped out so many others already. I’m not crazy enough to challenge them and risk my life!”
Hammond’s anger flared. “You’re out of your mind, woman! You’re asking for trouble!”
In an instant, the two teams collided in a fierce clash.
As the Roselane team, led by commander Cruz Compton, arrived and saw the chaos unfolding, Cruz grinned. “You two are complete idiots!”
Meanwhile, Hammond’s team, now in disarray, started pleading for a ceasefire. “Mona, if we keep fighting like this, neither of us will get anywhere. Look at Cruz–he’s already ahead of us! This is our last chance. If we waste more time, we’ll all lose the qualifying token!”

“Hammond, are you out of your mind? Do you really think we’ll get the qualifying tokens if we don’t deal with them first?
“If you’re part of a team, you have to fight! The only way to survive is by eliminating the weaker teams!”
Hammond scoffed, his lips curling in disgust. “Fight? You’re the real fool here.
“If we keep this up, by the time we’re done, the qualifying tokens will already be claimed! Even if we take out one or two teams, what’s the point when the tokens are already gone?
“Wake up! This is not the time for fighting–it’s time to run! Do you get it?
“We need to work together now if we want to win!”
Mona sneered, “Run? Are you serious? There’s no way we can outrun Dragon Soul, Sea Lion, or any of those teams. What’s the point of running? By the time we get there, the tokens will be gone!”
Hamm shook his head. “You’re so naive. Do you really think the tokens are just lying
around waiting for anyone to grab them?
“They’re hidden in remote spots by the competition organizers. Every team has to search for them once they enter the jungle. It’s not just about who gets there first. We can’t waste any more time here! Let’s move! Anyone who wastes time here is a fool!
“We need to focus on both running and searching if we want a chance at winning.
“Whether we’re fast or slow, as long as we get into the jungle, we still have a shot.
“If we keep wasting time, we won’t have any chance at all!
“You should know that the first team into the jungle doesn’t automatically get the token.
“They’ll need time to search too.
“Maybe it’s better if we arrive a little later. The first teams will have already ruled out the places where the tokens aren’t hidden.”
“Our chances will improve since our search area will be smaller!”
Mona suddenly had an epiphany. “Right, why didn’t I think of that? Hahaha …

The sound of their rush echoed like a stampede, a thunderous roar in the distance.
All 27 teams crossed the narrow river and plunged into the hills and jungle beyond.
However, searching for the qualifying tokens in the jungle wasn’t as simple as they thought.
The jungle was dense with tangled vines and thick underbrush.
Venomous snakes and wild animals lurked, adding danger to the challenge.
“We found it!” The King Hawk Special Forces were the first to announce, holding up qualifying token with pride.
They were the first team to secure their spot in the L1 Mystic Realm Semifinals.

Soon after, teams like the Centraline Special Forces, Sea Lion Force, Tanqueria Special Forces, Dragon Soul Special Forces, and even Scentialand Special Forces followed suit, all obtaining their tokens.
But just as the tenth token was claimed, a thick white smoke suddenly billowed from the center of the hills.
The jungle began to collapse inward.
The deep river surrounding the area started rushing into the crumbling zone.
All 27 teams found themselves trapped in a rapidly sinking swamp.
The ground beneath them steadily began to sink, shrinking the space they could stand on.
The teams that had already found their tokens scrambled to find an escape.
The teams still searching for the tokens continued their frantic efforts, but the sinking ground threatened to swallow them whole.
At this point, survival was their only priority–the qualifying tokens were far from their minds.
As time passed, the collapse of the hills spread farther.
Nearly half of the jungle had started to sink.
Two teams, still searching for tokens, were completely submerged.
The disaster was far from over.
Meanwhile, at the Mystic Realm Command Center, many believed the system had

But the organizing committee ignored every complaint from the teams.
The chaos in the mystic realm kept getting worse, with no end in sight.
At this rate, all 27 teams could be wiped out completely.
More and more commanders were joining the protests, but the committee stood firm, declaring that anyone who continued complaining would be disqualified.

Robin watched the chaos unfold across the arena, his mind racing. He quickly realized that the competition in this area wasn’t just about collecting the qualifying tokens–it was part of a much bigger plan.
His gaze shifted to the red markers at the far left of the jungle in the mystic realm, and everything clicked into place.
He turned to Gavin and gave his orders.
“Gavin, head straight for the restricted zone. Open it and activate the destruction button! We’re breaking the rules completely!”
Gavin hesitated for a moment. “Commander–in–chief Ramsey, if we do that, we’ll be disqualified from the semifinals.”
Robin’s tone was unwavering. “Follow my orders! Do it now, quickly!
“The system is already a deathtrap for us–what’s the point of playing by the rules anymore?
“Never forget, staying alive is the top priority!
“First, we break the rules. Then, we’ll figure out how to survive!
“Our goal now is to minimize the damage for all 27 teams!
“When the rules become a disaster, what use are they? The competition isn’t important anymore!”
With that, Robin gave the command.
Gavin and Freya immediately directed the Dragon Soul Special Forces to charge toward the restricted zone.
Meanwhile, the teams that had already obtained their tokens were furious, shouting and trying

As the teams attempting to stop Dragon Soul were defeated, even more teams joined the fray to eliminate them.
In response, Dragon Soul received the order: Eliminate all teams obstructing their path!
As the disaster edged closer to everyone, more and more teams tried to block Dragon Soul Special Forces.
Seeing this, Gavin quickly adapted their strategy. He sent eight members as decoys while Pill and Maverick quietly made their way to the restricted zone to activate the destruction button.
After five minutes of intense fighting, two elite members of Dragon Soul Special Forces reached the first–level restricted zone.
They crossed the red line and triggered the destruction button!
Instantly, the entire mystic realm went into lockdown mode.
All the traps and barriers in the restricted zones were activated.
The areas that had been sinking stopped right where they were.
However, the two Dragon Soul elites were trapped by the mechanisms inside.
Freya immediately ordered all Dragon Soul members to focus on rescuing their comrades.
After a tense struggle, they managed to break through the barriers, disabling all the traps in the restricted zone.
With that, the L2 Mystic Realm Battlefield was completely destroyed.
The teams found themselves exposed in an open desert area on Qacalisle Island.
In the center of the desert, a giant electronic board flashed the message, “L2 Mystic Realm Battlefield Game Over!”
The teams with qualifying tokens erupted in fury, filing complaints against Dragon Soul to the organizing committee.

A total of 80 elite teams from around the globe had gathered in the original L2 Mystic Realm War Game Base.
Without the influence of advanced technology, the mystic realm revealed its true, unembellished nature.
Everything seemed ordinary once again, simple and unspectacular.
The harsh conditions and deceptive illusions created in the different competition zones had all been illusions, misleading everyone.
In this mystic realm, where perception and thoughts were controlled by digital concepts and rules, the teams had been forced into complete submission to the system, the environment, and the mindless routines.
It was like putting 80 turkeys into a high–tech pen.
Once they entered, they were completely hypnotized and controlled by technology, their actions becoming rigid and predetermined.
They had to live as they were told and die when they were told.
Everything felt so natural, so easy, and so carefree.
Even when the ones in control tried to disrupt the system, the turkeys still didn’t want to leave the cage they had mentally adapted to.
This was humanity’s tragic flaw.
All pain, fear, and suffering stemmed from their stubborn attachment to the rules they had accepted in their hearts.
Only by breaking free from these limitations and destroying the mental chains could they see that those they had worshipped as gods were merely creators of illusions and manipulators of minds.
This was the key difference between those who blindly followed and the leaders who dared to lead.
Sadly, the majority of people, too hypnotized to break free, chose to remain submissive.
All the commanders and their teams stood motionless, staring at the unremarkable ground, the sky, and the calm breeze and sunlight, which seemed detached from any feelings of happiness or sorrow.

In the L2 mystic realm, high–tech experts had used digital technology and undisclosed advanced sciences to craft a simulated world.
In this world, each person’s life and thoughts were integrated into the mystic realm system.
The system’s rules were just a technological interpretation of universal principles.
Ironically, even now, the 80 teams still harbored intense resentment toward Dragon Soul’s commander–in–chief, Robin, for his final order.
They believed that in this international military competition, Robin, as the head of the Dragon Soul Special Forces, had acted as a destroyer and instigator of conflict from the very beginning.
The core of their complaints against Robin and his team was that he had disrupted the rules.
The foundation of global order was that the established rules had to be respected.
Those who broke them were considered the most dangerous forces.
For example, during the final stages of getting the qualifying tokens in Area Four, Robin’s order was to break through the restricted zone and disrupt the game.
His command was seen as reckless and irresponsible.
They felt that if Robin hadn’t destroyed the game rules, the teams that had secured their qualifying tokens would not have lost them just because the competition ended prematurely.
This wave of criticism quickly placed Dragon Soul Special Forces and Robin at the center of public outrage.
Alexander, the commander of the Tanqueria Special Forces, approached Robin. “Commander–in–chief Ramsey, even though I consider you an ally, I must express my disappointment with your actions.
“You and your team were excellent throughout the competition, but in the final moments, you made a critical error that cost Dragon Soul Special Forces a chance to make it to the final round.”
Robin gave a small smile. “That’s your view. From that, it’s clear you’re not yet on my level to call me an ally.”
Alexander shrugged. “Well, we’ll see how things unfold.
“The Mystic Realm’s Command Center is currently reevaluating the competition results.

“Commander Ramsey, it shows that you and the commanders of those 70 teams are operating on entirely different levels of understanding. In a competition with rules, we simply see things from different perspectives.”
Robin’s smile remained unchanged. “That’s your limitation.
“This world championship belongs to one person alone. It cannot be shared by 80 teams.”
Pierre, who had come closer, smiled and said, “What Mr. Ramsey is thinking is something you will never understand.”
Alexander shook his head. “Alright, alright. I have no clue what you two are talking about.”
Pierre gave a shrug. “I may not fully grasp what Mr. Ramsey means by ‘destruction‘ or ‘breaking free,’ but one thing is certain: Every decision he makes is the right one.” He paused, adding, “I trust that the L2 mystic realm enforcement team will make the wisest choice in the end.”
He leaned forward. “If the strong and enlightened can’t reach the peak, then the rules themselves should have been shattered long ago.”
Meanwhile, the commanders of the competing teams were voicing their criticisms of the Dragon Soul Special Forces‘ performance. To them, every action taken by Dragon Soul had seemed like a blatant disregard for the rules, a series of rebellious acts from beginning to end.
Simmond, the leader of the King Hawk Special Forces, approached Robin with a mocking expression. “Commander–in–chief Ramsey, it looks like the public is really against you and Dragon Soul.”
Pierre stepped up, his eyes narrowing. “Simmond, if you don’t want trouble, keep your mouth shut.”
Simmond laughed. “Pierre, you’re underestimating me. In all of Ugonland, I’m the top dog. If I don’t see things from this perspective, how could I possibly call myself the Ugonland War God?
“I’m here to show my respect to Commander–in–chief Ramsey. I don’t care what the final verdict from the competition’s enforcement team is or how those fools complain. I know one thing: Commander–in–chief Ramsey’s final decision will be the most visionary.
“I’ve always believed that to rebuild the laws of this world, they must first be destroyed.
“If we didn’t break the system, everything would remain stagnant, like water that never moves, never alive. After the Area Four jungle phase, everyone knew it was only going to end in destruction.
“With my years of philosophical study, I know this: Only by breaking the rules can you truly
be reborn.”

He shook his head. “To know that destruction is inevitable, yet still dream of getting a qualifying token–it’s laughable. Or maybe just the work of fools!

“If Commander–in–chief Ramsey hadn’t ordered the destruction of the rules, all the teams heading into the jungle phase would have perished.
“That’s why I admire him the most.
“In the first four rounds of the competition, I saw a sharp, sometimes even too forceful Commander–in–chief Ramsey. But with this last move, I saw a leader with vision, one who could shape the future.”
Simmond’s voice softened. “Physical strength can destroy, but wisdom–true wisdom–lasts forever.
“I believe that in just two minutes, the final decision from the mystic realm committee will be that Dragon Soul Special Forces, under Commander–in–chief Robin, are the champions of this qualifying match.”
“You’re full of it!” Mona suddenly shouted.
As soon as she spoke, she regretted it. “Sorry, Commander–in–chief Ramsey, I didn’t mean you. I meant Commander Yates …
”
Simmond slowly turned to her. “What did you just say? You little thing, you asking for a beating?”
Mona quickly responded, “Uh, I mean, I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Simmond, his anger rising, barked, “If you don’t get it, then get out of here!”
Mona wasted no time, realizing she was no match for these men, and quickly fled.
At that moment, a group of enforcement officers from the Thalrex Order, dressed in blue space suits, appeared before the 80 commanders–in–chief.
Cyril gestured to the lead officer. “Gentlemen, this is General Ryker Irvin!
“General Irvin is the Chief Assistant Designer of the L2 Mystic Realm War Games. He will oversee the final selection of the champion team and deliver the final ruling on the competition’s results. He will also address the complaints about Commander–in–chief Robin from Dragon Soul Special Forces. Please welcome him warmly!”
Ryker stepped forward and saluted.
“Ladies and gentlemen, after reviewing everything, I am pleased to announce that the winner of the L2 Mystic Realm War Games is General Robin and his Dragon Soul Special Forces!”

The announcement of the champion team and commander–in–chief for the mystic realm. competition by Ryker, the Chief Assistant Designer of the Thalrex Order, shocked the 80 teams participating. Nearly every commander was stunned and dissatisfied with the decision.
From their perspective, Dragon Soul Special Forces, under Robin’s leadership, should have been the first team eliminated from the running for the L1 Mystic Realm Qualifying Match.
Although they had gotten the qualifying token, the Dragon Soul Special Forces had blatantly disregarded every rule and structure of the competition under Robin’s command.
This alone should have disqualified them, according to the usual standards.
Yet, in a surprising turn of events, the final ruling from the Thalrex Order declared Dragon Soul Special Forces, led by Robin, the winners of the L2 mystic realm competition. This was beyond absurd, and it left everyone in a state of disbelief.
A heavy silence hung over the arena, broken only by the sound of the salty, biting sea breeze that swept through, unsettling the commanders.
The air felt thick with tension, and the distant noises of seagulls, crashing waves, and the wind seemed to amplify the stillness.
Not a single word was spoken; all eyes were locked on Ryker, awaiting his next statement. Ryker, however, remained quiet, his gaze fixed on the 80 commanders.
For two long minutes, the silence persisted.
Finally, it was Cary, the commander–in–chief of the Sakuranian Special Forces, who stepped forward to break the tension. “General Irvin, I have an objection!”
Ryker gave a slight nod, signaling for him to continue.
Cary pointed to Robin and spoke firmly. “General Irvin, I believe he doesn’t deserve to be called top commander–in–chief!
“Although the Sakuranian Special Forces is no longer in the running for the Ll mystic realm championship final, as a member of the international military skills competition, I still have the right to challenge the final result of this competition.”
Ryker shrugged casually. “Very well. Please, go ahead.”
Cary pressed on, “General Irvin, from Area One to Area Four in the L2 mystic realm competition, Dragon Soul Special Forces did show some unsportsmanlike conduct, but none of those actions broke the rules. Everything they did was within the scope of the competition.

“But once they left Area Four and entered the jungle where the qualification tokens were hidden, they completely disregarded the rules. At that critical moment when all the teams were at risk, Dragon Soul Special Forces ignored the regulations and entered the forbidden. zone, destroying the entire framework of the competition.
“I ask again: how is it that they, who violated the rules, were granted the title of top commander–in–chief?”
Other teams who had already received their requalification tokens quickly joined in.
“Exactly, General Irvin! We demand a reasonable explanation!”
“Could there be some sort of hidden manipulation behind this decision?”
“If that’s the case, we’ll all withdraw from the requalification round together!”
A wave of murmurs spread across the arena, but Ryker raised his hand to silence them.
Without showing any emotion, he surveyed the commanders in front of him.
“I wonder,” Ryker began, “aside from threatening to quit, what else can any of you do?”
He spread his hands wide, his voice firm and commanding. “As soldiers, as warriors who claim to be ready to serve and protect, if you’re only motivated by personal gain and lack the vision to embrace a higher purpose, maybe some of you shouldn’t even be here.
“Here’s your chance. Who among you is ready to leave the Ll mystic realm competition? Raise, your hand if you want to leave.
“I will personally approve your withdrawal and guarantee that you won’t be held accountable for backing out of this battle.
“You have one minute.
“Otherwise, keep your complaints to yourselves.”
The entire arena fell into complete silence.
Ryker continued, “There are two types of smart people in this world: those who are leaders and those who follow. If some of you don’t even know which category you belong to, then you have no right to be here.
“What’s even more frightening,” Ryker continued, “is that someone who’s clearly just a follower has the nerve to challenge those who truly understand the greater purpose.
“If the Thalrex Order places such a person in the highest command, it would be a betrayal to the entire world!
“One minute remaining!” Ryker glanced at the clock. “It seems no one has stepped forward to

“That means all your cries about quitting were nothing but empty threats, a loud distraction, and baseless accusations!
“All you really wanted was to seize the title of top commander–in–chief!
“I’ll say this now: even if you were handed the title of top commander–in–chief, what would it
even mean?
“First, the person I’ve chosen for top commander–in–chief was selected by the Thalrex Order’s highest command center through careful deliberation. There’s no controversy, no hidden agendas, and no emotional bias. Our decision is completely logical.
“Second, let’s address the real issue here–what are the actual criteria for choosing the top
commander–in–chief?
“For those of you still unclear about the true purpose, mission, and responsibility of the Thalrex Order, listen carefully.
“Put aside your personal desires and fixations. Wear the soul of a true soldier in your heart and constantly remind yourselves that it’s through duty and responsibility that you honor the uniform of a warrior.
“The L2 and Ll mystic realm tournaments, leading up to the final Summit Meeting, have one primary goal: protection and responsibility.
“The world is obsessed with power, fame, and the temptation of glory. These attractions are endless.
“But what they don’t realize is that when you wear that title, you’re also carrying a heavy mission and responsibility.
“If the title of the top commander–in–chief falls into the hands of those driven by selfishness, vanity, or the thirst for attention, it would lead to disaster for this world and its people!
“Only someone who combines wisdom and strength, intellect and might, is fit to wear this
crown.
“The highest command center of the organizing committee has bestowed this crown upon General Ramsey because he understands the true essence of this competition.
“And you, who understand nothing, are still whining about your dissatisfaction and grievances -what does that even accomplish?
“I have a question for all the commanders–in–chief: if the crown were placed in your hands, could you carry the weight of billions of lives on your shoulders?
“Without the strength to be responsible, what good is the crown?

“Lastly, the organizing committee will review the 70 complaints about Dragon Soul Special Forces‘ final catastrophic decision. I’ll address those complaints now.
“Once again, when those meant to be followers or bystanders believe they have the right to criticize, judge, or even maliciously attack a brilliant commander, That is nothing short of despicable and unethical!
“The organizing committee will defend the integrity of this competition!
“Now, I will announce the teams qualifying for the Ll mystic realm competition!
“Anyone who is dissatisfied, please withdraw immediately!
“Once the Ll mystic realm competition begins, all commanders will be required to follow the orders of Commander–in–chief Ramsey, the top commander–in–chief.
