The Global Demand: Transparency of Power
Ever since the launch of Chirag's "World Codex," a single question had been echoing across the globe: "Who is the true Sovereign?" The G.D.A. (Global Dunger Association), world leaders, and the Dunger communities themselves began mounting immense pressure on Chirag. Everyone wanted to know the true Mana Power (MP) of their old heroes and potential rivals.
"President Chirag, the world refuses to remain in the dark," the N.D.A. Commissioner stated during a closed-door session. "We must reveal the true standings of these top players. People need to see the difference between 'Legendary' and 'Mythical' in cold, hard numbers."
Chirag, leaning back in his presidential chair and looking visibly exhausted, gave a slow nod. He closed his eyes and simultaneously triggered [Chronos Intellect] and [Bureaucratic Nexus].
The Grand Analysis: Scanning the Sovereigns
In a single heartbeat, Chirag's consciousness synchronized with global satellites and every Bio-Link card on Earth. His mind accelerated to 100x speed. He scanned the mana reservoirs and soul signatures of every S-Ranker on the planet.
He calculated their "Combat Effectiveness" by multiplying their "Base MP" by their "Kill Count" (Tier).
Ther Universal Formula
Total M.P = Base M.P × Tiers Multiple
When the calculations were complete, a thin bead of sweat rolled down Chirag's forehead. He took a deep breath and hit the "Broadcast" button.

Suddenly, Bio-Link cards across the world flashed with a brilliant violet light. A floating notification appeared before every human eye: [OFFICIAL GLOBAL TOP 10 DUNGERS LIST].

The World in Shock: The "Experience" Gap
As the list went public, a heavy silence fell over newsrooms and internet forums, followed quickly by an absolute uproar.
"Look at that! Chirag's Base MP is 400 Million! Mason Steele, who has been fighting for years, only has a Base MP of 35 Million!" a reporter screamed during a live broadcast.
"But look closer," an official pointed out. "Because Mason's Tier is 'Exotic,' his effective power is multiplied by 10! Chirag is only at Number 1 because his raw Rank is SS. If he ever reaches the Exotic Tier, his power will be in the billions."
The egos of the old S-Rankers were crushed in an instant. Those who believed they were close to Chirag's level realized his raw power was more than 11 times theirs, even if he didn't yet know how to wield it in a real fight.
The Hidden Reaction: Rudra's Calm
In the solitude of his room, Rudra studied the list. His name was nowhere to be found, exactly as he intended. He scrutinized Chirag's numbers with a cold gaze.
"Master," the Ruin Soul spoke in its characteristic sharp, logical tone. "Chirag's raw energy is 400M. You are currently at Rank C (Diamond Phase) with a Base MP of 30,000. Compared to him, you are currently nothing more than a grain of dust."
Rudra lightly touched the hilt of his Darksmith dagger. "You always tell the truth, Ruin Soul, but you're forgetting one thing. Chirag's Tier is Silver... and my target is the Diamond Tier. As soon as my Tier evolves, my multiplier will start bridging that gap."
"True, Master," the Ruin Soul replied. "But do not forget—Chirag is Number 1 because he is 'Kind' and holds an SS Rank. The other nine on that list will not enjoy living in his shadow. The coming war will not just be against monsters; it will be against each other."
