Like Legolas expected, what followed the speech of the Beast King was total chaos that lasted a full day.

During this full day, the foundations of the Minerva Star System were shaken.

Already set paradigms were disrupted.

For 50 years, Legolas built his mercenary group, he did not just build it for building's sake. After meeting the seer and learning more about his reincarnation and his 2 predecessors, he now had a clear path to follow.

According to the seer, getting to the Grade A realm would enable him to unlock the blueprint that would enable him to repair the Star Radler.

Since knowing about the Star Radler, not once in these 50 years had he stopped thinking and speculating about this Universal Treasure.

'What is it exactly?'

'What is it's use?'

'Is it directly connected to our reincarnation?'

'Can it give me the answers that I want?'

'Can it help me return back to Earth?'

'Do I even want to return back to Earth?'

These were questions that he asked often.

After spending decades in this world already, Legolas was already totally accustomed to it, he didn't really yearn going back to Earth like he felt when he just made his way to this world.

Knowing that getting to the Grade A realm would enable him unlock the blueprint, he expanded his mercenary group and used it to further his goals.

Expanding the mercenary group opened more channels to players.

If he wanted, he could have warned the Nak State about the existence of a future force like the Beast Coalition but he did not.

From day one, Legolas was not someone that had so much empathy to care about people far disconnected from him.

Of course, he was still affected by murdering people just for the sake of it but he already grew to become indifferent to it through the years.

Today, the numerous deaths today were indirectly caused by him.

But he convinced himself. 'If I was not here, the Beast Coalition would still happen'.

'Besides, who knows? Perhaps, if I warned them, it would have still happened, making no difference while I would have lost my initiative and future knowledge advantage'.

'I can't afford to lose that'.

He prepared the emergence of the Beast Coalition to prepare and fatten his players to refill his coffers of experience points that was already exhausted long ago. He needed experience points.

Another thing was, to get to the Calamity Grade, a Super also needed to condense his Calamity Path which was something that held back so many Supers.

For the past 50 years, Legolas worked on this.

Having gotten all 4 Cutting-Edge Summoner class knowledge already, his power was at the peak of the Grade B realm among Summoners. After 20 years of staying in this world as a mercenary, he condensed his Calamity path.

From the beginning, he believed in the path of the Shepherd Summoner. Yet, he also never shied from increasing the physical strength of his body.

His Calamity path was akin to that of a Magic Warrior but instead of adding magic to training his body, he instead added the power of beasts.

Having got supreme talents that amplified the power of his body already, all he needed was a supreme talent to amplify his Summoner abilities. Unfortunately, for the past 50 years, he could get none.

Despite this, Legolas believed that with enough experience points, he could become a Calamity Grade Super which was his current priority short term goal.

'I need to help the players settle in, then I need to make them spend their experience points, I can't wait anymore to fully access the Star Radler'.

"Master, we're here". Blade spoke.

They were already back in the headquarters of the Mercenary Union. There, Endrick dropped the warriors of the Nak outpost that they rescued including adding evidence of the beasts that they killed along the way.

This way, they were finally eligible for the rewards.

Legolas was no longer personally in charge of miscellaneous things like rewards gotten from missions. His assistant, Christensen, was in charge of everything. After dropping the warriors, he jetted off elsewhere.

Admiral Zhao sought him out.

…

Planet Kronic Beam Ring…

Legolas' spaceship was given access to this planet as soon as they were recognized. Going in, Legolas met a familiar face and the Admiral.

"Long time". Legolas shook Onana's hand with a grin.

About a decade ago, Champion Onana went into seclusion training to consolidate his Calamity Path. He was close to becoming a Calamity Grade.

As soon as Legolas saw down, Admiral Zhao looked at both of them, focusing more on Legolas. "Do you know anything about the Beast Coalition?"

"I know a few things but I can know more if you want".

Admiral Zhao nodded in understanding. "This is exactly why I sought you".

"Over the years, you have proved yourself to be incredibly reliable at missions, mostly information-gathering missions".

"You saw the power of the Beast Coalition and what they are capable of".

"We don't want to clash with them head-on".

"We want to take the calmer approach now to study them first". He focused on Endrick. "We're looking for competent volunteers to help us track down, observe, study, and feed us information about the Beast Coalition".

"Do not be worry about the price, the Nak State always pays its debts".

Legolas nodded; he could testify to this. "I can do it".

"Good". Admiral Zhao expected this.

Before standing up, he looked at Legolas again. "I heard that those immortals of yours are back". His brows furrowed. "How are they? Do they have anything to do with the sudden eruption of the Beast Coalition?"

"No". Legolas calmly answered.

"Ok". Admiral Zhao nodded.

He left soon after, he had other things to do.

Once the Admiral was gone, Legolas finally had time to roll back the years with Champion Onana before he finally left Planet Kronic Beam.

'With these favors from the Nak State, I can have access to the eventual materials that I will need to repair the Star Radler, hopefully'.

His eyes gleamed. 'As for now, I just need to help the players settle in'.

He returned to the headquarters of the Nightmare Mercenary group.
