Reject Humanity, Return to Monke

This entire scenario was completely unrealistic by normal standards. Only because of us shrugging off their bullets was this situation possible.

I'm not one to think of unrealistic situations, but if this is the hand they gave me, then I will do my best to milk out every single advantage it can give me.

"Now, before we get to talking, can you please tell your subordinates to lower their weapons?" I glanced at the soldiers still training their sights on us. The lead soldier, the one talking to me, hesitated for a second. "Come on now, it's not like the bullets will do anything against us. You've seen it first-hand."

The soldier looked at me, judging if my words were a total buff. If this was any other militaristic country, I was sure they would've shot long before they were circling the building. Sighing, the soldier gestured towards his subordinates to lower their weapons.

The guns were now aimed at the ground. I gave their leader an appreciative nod.

"Now then, first of all, I would like to formally apologize for the destruction my friend over here," I gestured towards Odette, who waved at me with a manic smile, "has wrought upon your country. All of us here will gladly pay for the damages."

Now, I may be setting myself up for doom here, but I'm the one holding the cards. Their guns don't work, so they can't threaten me. They also can't threaten me with missiles and bombs because our Dungeons are located in separate dimensions, and the only way to enter them is through the Dungeon Portals.

I doubt a nuke can be guided through it without bumping into anything before it reaches the portal.

"We must first contact our superiors about your claims." Their leader responded with a stern gaze, his eyes holding fury at the sight of dozens of wrecked buildings, cold corpses, and destroyed cars.

Nodding at his decision, I waited for him to finish talking with the man behind the radio. As we waited, Odette decided to stand right next to me, her body sticking close to mine like I was some kind of magnet.

"Once ve get to mein Dungeon, experiment number 3071, ve vill be testingkt somezzingkt I haf been vorkingkt on efer since I laid eyes on you." Odette subtly nudged my arm, which caused me to look at her for a moment.

Behind me, I noticed Oshurkova and Drake warily eyeing the soldiers surrounding us with their guns still in their possession.

The radio sputtered off, and the soldier was giving me a baleful look.

"Our superiors will want to talk with you, but you must follow us back to HQ." Raising an eyebrow at his statement, I looked back at my companions and shrugged.

"Sure." Their leader did a double-take at my immediate acceptance, but otherwise, he ushered us into the helicopters.

Thankfully, these helicopters were designed to carry heavy objects, which is why I had no qualms with entering the flying contraption. Not that I will be that injured when we do indeed crash.

In addition, I also noticed my companions were separated from me, so in total, there were four helicopters escorting us to their HQ.

'This is so fucking unrealistic, but when the supernatural becomes real, then what is?' My thoughts going unheard, I stayed silent the whole way as we made our way above the cities.

Closing my eyes, I tried summoning my status, which I hadn't seen in quite a while.

'I still have no idea how to increase my luck. Does that thing even do anything?' I thought about the luck stat and what it did. 'I wasn't lucky or unlucky during my time in Praeccathae, and even then, most of the important events were because of the Gods. Luck had nothing to do with it, so what is it to my System.'

Opening my eyes, I looked around the cramped passenger area of the helicopter, with soldiers staring at my every move. Sighing internally, I closed the status screen and decided to get some rest for the incoming peace talks with the head of the Japanese Self Defense Forces.

At least, that was what I was expecting.

"We're here." I opened my eyes when I heard a voice calling out to me. Looking at their leader, whose name I still did not know, he gestured for me to look out the window, and I saw a large compound filled with soldiers in green fatigues or black shirts.

Pursing my lips, I saw the welcome committee, each of them holding a gun to their chest as they waited patiently for the helicopters to land.

"Nice welcome committee. Just remember that most of it won't work against those like me who are stronger." I commented aloud, which got the rest of the soldiers inside tense.

The helicopter descended, and not too soon, landed on the platform. Being escorted outside, I was briefly glared at by the man at the front, before it turned into a neutral smile.

"Ah, you're here." The man approached me with a hollow smile as he put his hand forward. "My name is Kawasaki Katashi. Nice to meet you."

"Likewise." Grabbing his hand, I gave it a good shake. "My name is Jionni, no last name. By the way, where are my companions?"

"They're being escorted to different parts of the compound for a tour. Once done, you will all meet back here. Is that okay with you?" I stared at Katashi for a moment before shrugging.

'Not like they're in any real danger. I'm sure they can destroy this place and some more with just a few flicks of their arms.'

"Sure, not like there's anything we have to do at the moment, Kawasaki-san." The man raised an eyebrow at my use of the honorific, but otherwise, led the tour around their base.

'I'm also sure this is a show of force, but rather than bullets, they're showing their numbers, and their… Stronger weaponry.' I thought as I saw a tank on one side decimating a quickly propped up shack with just a single boom.

Whistling, I marveled at the scene of a tank making big booms against puny wood. Sure, it was a spectacle, but when you fought against a man who literally did not die until he let go of his sword, this big boom wasn't anything special.

Plus, I can manipulate fire and create an even bigger boom.

"So, first off, I would like to talk to you about the… savagery one of your companions has caused my brethren, Jionni-dono." I sighed as the first topic of our negotiations came up in an instant.

"Yes. That is understandable, Kawasaki-san. But let me share with you one thing in terms of us Dungeon Masters. I'm sure you already know this by now because of the news from America?" Katashi nodded, and I continued. "In retrospect, Dungeon Masters have a "Do what you want," kind of mentality, and Odette, the girl who caused those deaths, isn't any different. You should also learn that Odette isn't a young girl; in fact, she is older than she looks. Dungeon Masters are ageless, our forms stuck in stasis the moment we are subjected to the role."

Kawasaki stayed silent as he digested the information I gave him.

"Disregarding the age of the girl, Odette is probably the least destructive of the destructive Dungeon Masters. She isn't innocent, that's for certain, which is why I'm not defending her for the sins she has committed. But you just can't stuff her into a prison cell at maximum security and call it a day." I stretched out my hand and conjured a tiny flicker of flame, prompting the soldiers to quickly train their guns on me.

"We have magic at our disposal, real magic. The ones seen in animes, movies, or books. It can literally bend physics to our whims at the cost of our energy. Your prison cells won't hold her. There's also the fact that guns and, to an extent, missiles won't work on her." I recalled the time Odette ragdolled Oshurkova with just a simple punch. "She is physically stronger than she looks, capable of bench-pressing a 16-wheeler with ease. I doubt your bullets could penetrate her skin too."

Looking directly at Kawasaki, who seemed to have an epiphany regarding our situation, even if he looked skeptical, I dismissed the hovering flame over my hand with a single motion.

"Kawasaki-san, in the non-existent chance you were able to kill Odette, that still does not solve the problem. Odette is part of a group, a group that her sister, the girl who was covered head to toe, is the leader of. If she learns she died at your hands, nothing will stop her from getting revenge."

Sighing once more, I looked at the sky with somewhat tired eyes. "Please just heed my warnings and accept their apologies and their concessions to you, and strive for peace. It doesn't have to end with an entire country going under because of revenge."

Kawasaki stayed silent as he listened more and more intently to my words. There is a chance that he will not heed my warnings or those of his superiors, but this is our best shot at not destroying a country and moving in the right direction for peace.

"We will also gladly help you with any Dungeon related problems that crop up in your country. We aren't the only ones that got transported here." Kawasaki quickly turned his head at me with narrowed eyes. "There are dozens of factions among us Dungeon Masters, some even going solo. What's worse, a lot of them are hostile to those outside of their Dungeons and their allies. Trust me, you do not want to fight with them without our help."

"I see.." Kawasaki was only able to utter a single response as we continued our walk through the compound.
