Chapter 176 A Disruption
"Warrior, what brings you here? May I ask what brings you to my court?"
"Do you know an otherworldly being who can control monsters? He's Reonicus, and his name is Grandi."
The laboratory, now completely empty, was filled only with the sounds of the magic array operating and heartbeats and breathing. Yao Hui didn't want to say too much; he wanted to carefully observe Mu Ban's reaction to his questions.
"Yes, we know each other, but we've lost touch, so our relationship isn't very good, and I don't want to talk about it."
"How did you meet him?"
"After the interdimensional invasion ended, we had to find a way to deal with the monsters left behind by those interdimensional beings. So I looked up the information we had seized from the interdimensional world and found that there was a powerful being in the interdimensional world named Reonicus who might be able to help us. His name is Rey."
"However, by a twist of fate, the Reonics we summoned was not named Rey, but Grandi."
Muban spoke calmly and composedly, without the slightest hint of panic. There might be some inconsistencies, but Yaohui hadn't noticed them yet.
"Ray, also known as Raymond, is a human Reionics. He was a powerful figure who once rebelled against and shattered Reiblood's ambition to revive. He has a strong ability to command monsters, and his signature monster is the ancient monster Gomora."
"In the past, I assisted the Land of Light in fighting against Ultraman Belial's invasion plan, and I also helped my master, Ultraman Zero, to eliminate evil plots in the universe on many occasions."
When Zeta thinks of Raymond, he recalls many stories about him from the Land of Light. Despite being a Reionics, he stands on the side of humanity, helping both humans and Ultraman. Even Ultraman and Ultraseven have high regard for him.
"It's a pity. It's been many years since we've seen Lei make a comeback, and it's probably unlikely we'll see him again in the future. I really don't know where he is now. Has he really chosen to give up fighting and live in anonymity? It's truly a sad story."
Grandy's thoughts were also stirred by Ray, memories that remained vivid even after all these years. Grandy and Ray were both compatriots and enemies, driven by the Reonic Factor, forced to kill each other until finally deciding who would become Reiblood's body.
Grandi and Raymond had both "killed" each other once, but this did not prevent them from fighting together against Reiblood's remnant soul. It was because of meeting Rei that Grandi experienced a lot and changed a lot.
"So, is this why you insist on training Gomora and Eleking? Because of the two monsters that Rei used to use."
"Pretty much. I consider my control skills to be on par with or even better than Lei's, but I still can't figure out the unique bond between Lei and the monsters."
Before officially setting off, Luo Yi and Grandi had some free time to chat. After spending time with the Reonics, they discovered that they were not as irritable and warlike as rumored. They were also sensitive, emotional, and cared about the joys and sorrows of other creatures.
Often, the Reonics themselves are unsure how to deal with their identity. Some choose to do as they please, while others choose to befriend others. While possessing great power, they also yearn to see a wider world.
"So, Grandy came into this world because of your invitation? Do you even know what Reionics means to monsters?!"
"But the truth is often not as bad as the rumors say, isn't it, Hero? Grandi is not an unreasonable person. On the contrary, he is quite happy to deal with those otherworldly monsters."
"How many people did you summon from another world? Do you know how much harm your actions could cause to this world?"
"The threat from otherworldly monsters is imminent. I had no choice, hero. I summoned Grandi because he was the one best able to handle the monster plague at the time. As an invasive species, these otherworldly monsters, even without participating in the battle, are devastating to the surrounding natural environment and living beings. An entire Green Mountain can be devoured in a day, the entire lake is covered with monster offspring, and wildfires have become the otherworldly monsters' entertainment..."
“I have to find a way to deal with these disasters. My people cannot live in such disasters, even if I might bring another disaster upon myself.”
Having exhausted his words, Muban expressed his helplessness: the existence of otherworldly monsters was a great harm to this world, and sometimes extreme measures had to be taken to achieve peace.
"Then why didn't you tell me before?!"
“Like I said before, hero, I had no choice. I broke ties with Grandi because of his breach of contract. I know how terrible Reonics is, so I wanted his combat device data to research some countermeasures. He agreed at first, but later refused and cut off all contact with me. He went into hiding in this world.”
"Grandi's last notice to me before he went missing was that I was forbidden from revealing his information to anyone, or he would take some extreme measures that I would regret."
Yao Hui didn't see any stage fright in Mu Ban; at least in his opinion, Mu Ban wasn't lying.
But why did Grandy disappear? With his abilities, he could easily roam freely in this world; he had no reason to fear the guild, right?
What exactly is Grandi thinking...? No one seems to have a clear answer.
"Why don't we just raze the Mage's Guild to the ground now, sir? I could easily raze a local guild to the ground with just a random monster I brought over before. With our current strength, we're perfectly capable of doing that, aren't we?"
"Don't rush, Luo Yi. The Mage Guild is not a threat at all, but the hidden power behind the guild is the truly terrifying force. Otherwise, do you really believe the heroic tales people tell, that Muban achieved regional dominance solely through war merits?"
"Muban's ability to command both humans and monsters is not based on so-called honor, but on genuine 'miracle magic.' He controls this world in ways you can never imagine."
"One person controlling a world? How is that possible! Can he instill ideas in humans and make monsters understand how great he is? That's completely impossible."
Seeing Luo Yi's reactive resistance, Grandi's eyes revealed not anger but pity. Grandi knew that Luo Yi was just a victim like everyone else.
"Pay attention to your perception, Luo Yi. Pay attention to your perception. It is no longer an empty existence in this world, but a bargaining chip that can be manipulated."
The low-altitude flight of the soldier ants as they took off stirred up waves. Grandy and Luo Yi stood atop the monster's head and headed towards the Sea Cloud Territory. Grandy knew that, according to the Sea Cloud's usual practice, they were now on high alert, which was exactly what Grandy wanted.
Grandi wanted to use the defeat of the highest combat power of the magicians to warn the world and tell them that he now possessed the ability to destroy their understanding.
"Report, Master and Hero, Haiyun has sent a message saying that a large group of monsters are attacking Haiyun and requests your instructions for support."
An unexpected alarm interrupted Haruki's conversation with the chairman. Grandi's sudden attack was completely unexpected by everyone. Muban showed a rare look of confusion, as he really couldn't guess what Grandi was thinking.
"I understand, I'll head over right now." Yao Hui was a little puzzled. If Grandi attacked Haiyun, why didn't he send him a message through Yongyi Chunjing?
"Um... the information about Grandy's attack was already there. This time, Grandy's attack blocked all of Haiyun's magic. By the time we received the communication, Grandy had already retreated..."
The communications personnel reported this information in extreme panic: Grandi's attack pattern had overturned the thinking of everyone in the Magicians' Guild, and Haiyun's defensive line had been completely destroyed in a short period of time.
