"Wow, this is impressive," Dorothy said.

The witch and her companions stood there, dumbfounded, munching on melons as they watched the special effects spectacle across the spatial channel.

"Goodness, Gundam battling a little monster, this is entertaining."

Dorothy watched the drama with glee.

Across the spatial channel in that highly technologically advanced factory, the Ultimate Unit Zero was valiantly fighting, and its foe was a huge monster only slightly smaller in size.

The monster's appearance was somewhat similar to a Tyrannosaurus, with sturdy hind limbs. However, its forelimbs were short and rather cute, but clearly, this monster was not one to scratch at its opponents. Instead, its primary weapons were the huge mouth on its massive head and the thick, powerful tail.

Beyond these physical attacks, every movement of the monster was accompanied by thunder, with fierce lightning swirling around it, granting its massive body a high mobility that did not correspond to its size.

At that moment, the monster's short forelimb stretched out, and numerous lightning bolts converged within its claws to form a long whip of electricity.

Crack, crack, crack...

With a quick flick of its short forelimb, a set of Lightning Quintuple Whip strikes was executed, forcing the Ultimate Unit Zero to keep retreating, able only to hold up its Positional Shield in defense, lacking any capability to retaliate.

The lightning whips redirected by the shield spread out and landed on the buildings around Unit Zero. One explosion after another occurred, with intense bombings continuing relentlessly.

The previously intact advanced factory had now been directly reduced to ruins.

Fortunately, this was a highly automated factory, so there weren't many people around, and the few workers had fled on their Tamed Beasts even before the chaos started.

"Need any help?" Dorothy asked, turning to the Female City Lord beside her, whose expression was stern.

After all, the scene seemed to be the result of the out-of-control Mechanical Heart, indirectly caused by her; logically and morally, she felt somewhat responsible.

"No need, it's my fault for poor management that this mishap occurred, dampening your mood, Emissary. I will resolve it quickly," Olivia refused.

At that moment, the Female City Lord frowned as she looked at the Mechanical Heart hidden within the giant energy gem in Unit Zero's chest, puzzled why the Heart of the King had gone berserk.

Could it be that forklift Machine Spirit causing mischief? But that Machine Spirit was very weak, seemingly newborn, so how could it possess such high intelligence?

Moreover, Machine Spirits that have just fused with a Mechanical Heart generally enter a dormant state, undergoing programming resets, and shouldn't be able to resist, so why was there an exception this time?

And how was the Mechanical Heart controlling Ultimate Unit Zero? It was unheard of for an inactive Mechanical Heart to remotely control other Mechanical Series Tamed Beasts.

In any case, there was definitely a big problem.

Thinking this, she glanced at the Dragon King's Envoy beside her, surprised at the scrutinous eye of the envoy. Even she, an expert Beastmaster, hadn't noticed any issues with that forklift, but the Envoy spotted it right away—perhaps this was part of the witch's power as a member of the Golden Race, part of the Calamity Race's Strength?

However, the problem wasn't too significant.

After all, a newly born Machine Spirit could only cause so much trouble. Its major reliance was on that very Ultimate Unit Zero, which indeed was currently the most powerful Mechanical Series Tamed Beast, yet still not top-tier.

"It is merely a Pseudo-King Level Tamed Beast. It can't make waves in front of my Emperor Level Tyrant Dragon Beast," Olivia thought calmly.

In this world, the strength of Tamed Beasts is divided into eight levels: Low Level, Middle Level, High Level, Soul Level, King Level, Emperor Level, Saint Level, and God Level.

However, God Level Tamed Beasts are almost mythical and not seen by ordinary people, so normally, without a God Level, a Saint Level is already the strongest combat power.

As the former world ruler, even the weakest of Olivia's Tamed Beasts were at the Emperor level.

At her peak, she commanded three God Levels, nine Saint Levels, and countless Emperor Levels; unfortunately, after her battle against "the Dragon King," she was never at her peak again.

All three God Levels were captured, and all nine Saint Levels were severely injured and are still in recovery, leaving her to normally use only some Emperor Level Tamed Beasts.

Yet even so, with the deterrent power of a hundred Emperor Beasts, she was still the world's top Beastmaster; her authority was not something a mere Pseudo-King Level Mechanical Beastmaster could challenge.

This Tyrant Dragon Beast was one of the strongest among her Emperor Level Tamed Beasts, capable of contending with a Saint Level Tamed Beast for a few moves, definitely stable and severe enough to clean up any Pseudo-King.

The Female City Lord thought this, so she did not deploy any additional Tamed Beasts.

Only...

"ROAR..."

A roar filled with a sense of brutality resounded, but this was not the familiar Dragon Roar Olivia knew, but rather a more peculiar sound, akin to an engine roaring.

Everyone followed the sound and saw Ultimate Unit Zero, already with one leg broken by the Tyrant Dragon Beast's lightning whip and one arm bitten off, lying against the debris of the factory. It looked reluctantly at the sky, then the armor on its head that should not have been separable cracked open, resembling a mouth opening; this brutal roar was emitted from this mouth.
