"I did agree that I went overboard but look at the bright side, we did not have to do anything drastic and saved a lot of manpower resources!" Kraft said and Jin rolled his eyes.
"Easy for you to say. Orcs and Goblins had to waste their time taking turns to be on guard and surveillance to ensure that the High Elves did not move away from their makeshift camp. It was not just a day or two kind of thing. It's practically a week or two." Jin replied angrily even though he knew that there was no use crying for spilled milk when it was already over.
"It's not like you had much to do these few days. You were merely dabbling with the paperwork from the Ministry of Land and checking up on your new pet in secret even though you practically owned the town a few days after that incident."
"Hey, I had been working my ass off doing up the building plans for the new Dungeon Supplier store for Shanghai and Beijing, okay?"
"Working your ass off? If that's working your ass off, the rest of the minions might have used your ass to wipe their tears off." For goodness sake, those buildings amount to nothing important. All of those things would eventually be torn down in a few months because you got sick of it or there were comments to improve it." Kraft debated for the sake of arguing and Jin took this as a chance to recognise that he was creating bullshit to stir the hornet's nest.
Thus, he attempted to take a deep breath in and calm himself down but in the end, the logic is in his brain demanded an explanation for such a roundabout way to do things. "In the first place, why did you not just take control of the High Commander and learn his thoughts? That way, we did not even need to go through the destruction of the New Adventurer's Town, create artificial natural disasters which we eventually need to clear up after the total demise and even save us resources?"
"Oh... So, there is a reason why you have been torturing each and every one of them this way." Jin understood Kraft's thought process for the moment and spoke out in hopes that the Devil Fox would be able to clarify the reasons he had formulated.
"Yes, Searching through not just the memories of their own but we are running even deeper to see if their genes had encoded the mystery of the secret bastion. if that's what you are thinking." Kraft responded and Jin nodded his head. Basically, what the Original System Bellator was doing was exerting so much pain response from them that it initiated fight or flight responses.
However, it was not just any regular fight or flight response. Instead, he was hoping that someone was able to dig out the hidden powers of their elves and get one of their almighty ancestors to possess them in their dire need for help. In doing so, the mind possession of their ancestors would be taken advantage of by the Night Foxes and Kraft.
It was not for them to fight these possessed High Elves but rather to manipulate and collect the thoughts of the souls that were possessing them. All of this would not have been known if not for the stories and legends of the Dark Elves passed from one elder to another. To the tribe, it might have been made as a good bedtime story to talk about, but not for Kraft when he absorbed them as his own unit.
Each legend that the Elder spoke of would definitely have a speck of truth in it and the story about the ancient ancestors possessing their body was something that Kraft had proven accidentally when he was schooling the Dark Elves before they became the Night Foxes. But the one who had been possessed was not a mighty warrior and instead, a scholar. To Kraft who had sufficient power under his command did not need a new warrior. Therefore, he was elated when the scholar spirit collaborated with the Dark Elf Elder's stories, allowing Kraft to understand their arch enemies even better.
Even though he never expected the Dark Elves to have such a rich history when interacting with the scholar spirit, Kraft got the hint that the Dark Elves previously possessed powers that were equivalent to the Celestial beings themselves. This was one of the stories that Kraft was able to decipher from the words of the Scholars but he never made it known to Jin or the System.
He felt that it was unnecessary at that moment and that truth still rang true up to this day when he still pat his back up to his day for recruiting the Dark Elves. It was also the reason why he was now doing this act of revenge against the High Elves for a reason.
To gain more favour from the Night Foxes and add more monsters that were capable of defying the celestials should the need arise especially when Jin was not ready for them.
