"It should be around here."
In the desolate Gobi Desert, where no one else was in sight, King landed beside a boulder.
The Brave Association's location was constantly changing, making it extremely difficult for others to find. But King was different. He was proficient in Dimensional Power and exceptionally sensitive to dimensional fluctuations. It was not surprising that he could find the Brave Association using the Dimensional Stone.
King took out the Dimensional Stone and injected a massive amount of Dimensional Power into it. Sure enough, before long, he sensed the existence of a barrier. However, for the current him, entering it was a simple task.
"This place is quite a hidden paradise, but why do the people of the Brave Association hide underground like rats?"
King entered the barrier, and before his eyes was a city forged of steel.
"Intruder detected. Entering Level 1 combat readiness. Prepare to engage the enemy."
Dozens of tall mechas appeared, their dark muzzles locked firmly onto King.
"It seems there are mechanical geniuses here as well, just like Bofoi and Dr. Kuseno."
King felt a surge of emotion.
Looking at the extremely familiar mechas and the steel city, he couldn't help but think of the Hero Association.
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
Several braves descended, surrounding King. This place had been sealed off for a long time. Logically, no one should have been able to enter.
"I'm one of you."
King waved his hand and pulled out the Dimensional Stone from his robes.
"This is...?! Attack!"
The members of the Brave Association's expressions changed drastically upon seeing the Dimensional Stone. They immediately prepared to launch an attack, and the mechas began to condense energy.
Buzz!
At that moment, an extremely powerful Psychokinesis spread out, instantly immobilizing everyone.
"This... this guy?!"
As an S-Class Brave, Teroma had the power to fight even a God's agent, yet he found himself completely unable to move.
"Don't get excited. I got this from a prisoner named Enma. As for how I entered, it's far too simple for me."
King casually summoned a portal, leaving the Brave Association members in shock. After all, experts possessing Dimensional Power were extremely rare even within the Brave Association.
"Who do you represent?" Teroma calmed down.
He knew that if King had malicious intent, probably no one here could stop him.
"I joined the Brave Association in the Dimensional City. Kevin and Ignatius can testify for me. However, I got separated from them later and went through a lot of trouble to find you all." King spoke truthfully.
Kevin and Ignatius were enough to prove his identity.
"Dimensional City? The Dragon Domain?"
Teroma's pupils constricted slightly.
Although King possessed Dimensional Power, wanting to cross a Star Domain was nothing short of a pipe dream. Setting aside the Church's strict surveillance, even the Domain Lords of the two Star Domains wouldn't allow someone to invade so easily.
"Hmph! Still trying to deceive us? Claiming to have come from the Dragon Domain is a joke."
"Exactly. For so many years, other than those peak experts in the Association who fight in other dimensions year-round, no one can easily cross a Star Domain."
The other Brave Association members expressed their disbelief at King's words. After all, it sounded far too fantastical. Even the Brave Associations of different Star Domains rarely contacted each other, unless it was through some extremely secretive and special channels.
"You can go find Kevin and Ignatius to confirm it." King felt a bit of a headache.
These people simply refused to believe he came from the Dragon Domain.
"You clearly know we can't contact them. There's no need to use such high-sounding excuses to brush us off."
"Enough. I will confirm your identity with headquarters."
Teroma seemed to suddenly remember that there indeed had been some intelligence regarding the Dimensional City recently.
Moreover, he knew that if he provoked King, no one present would be his match. Regardless of his purpose, it was better to observe him for a while first.
"Teroma, the Association's subjugation operation is about to begin. Having such an unstable factor appear now could easily cause the entire plan to fail." Another Brave Association member reminded him.
The Brave Association had planned this subjugation operation for a long time, and almost everyone was being deployed. It was mainly targeted at the Sky tribe and the Church. If the plan was leaked in advance, there would likely be heavy casualties, or even total annihilation.
"Are you going to subjugate the Church?"
King raised an eyebrow.
He knew the main event was coming. The system's missions were always sequential, and destroying the Church's outposts was just the beginning.
"How did you know that?" Teroma frowned.
If King really leaked the subjugation operation in advance, he would have to consider reporting to headquarters to cancel the plan.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. Just give me the coordinates of the Church's outposts."
The corners of King's lips curled up slightly. Now, he could only prove himself through action.
"If I destroy a Church outpost and kill a few God's agents, that should prove my identity, right?"
"Certainly, if you can actually do it." Teroma's expression was serious.
It was very close to the start time of the subjugation operation.
"Give me the location."
"Fine."
Teroma discussed it with the other Brave Association members and felt that King's suggestion wouldn't negatively impact them.
In any case, as soon as he left, the Brave Association would immediately change its location. Even if King wanted to return, he wouldn't be able to find the way.
"Is there one nearby? After I settle it, I'll come and regroup with you."
"That's fine, but you must leave the Dimensional Stone behind." Teroma reminded him.
He knew King relied on the stone to determine the Brave Association's location, so this hidden danger had to be eliminated.
"Here."
King didn't mind. He left the Dimensional Stone behind and stepped into the portal, leaving the group from the Brave Association staring at each other.
"Teroma, do you think he's really from the Dragon Domain?"
"I don't know. I'll confirm with headquarters. There was indeed intelligence regarding the Dragon Domain's Dimensional City a while ago."
"Apparently, it was besieged, but in the end, all the Brave Association members escaped. It's said they were helped by a mysterious expert." Teroma recalled carefully.
King's words did seem to corroborate what had happened in the Dimensional City. But it was better to be safe than sorry. Let the operation to subjugate the Church be his test.
"Regardless, I will report his matter to headquarters. After all, he's an expert with Dimensional Power. If he truly joins the Brave Association, it would naturally be for the best." Teroma made up his mind.
Currently, the Brave Association's living conditions were far too poor, and they urgently needed to recruit powerful individuals. Those experts in other dimensions were constantly fighting gods on other planes and couldn't look after them at all.
"If he can really destroy a Church outpost and slay God's agents on his own, it means our Brave Association has gained another Dimensional expert."
