War Machines

Everyone was a bit startled before they shook it off and returned to their duty, it was not surprising to them as they constantly see new types of weapons from the army. You can say that they are used to being surprised by the constant new weapons, and each of them is more powerful or useful than the others. They can take off the incident out of their mind fairly quickly, but not for Brugdath, he has never seen a giant iron object that can be controlled by a man, not to mention that cannon shook the tunnel and create a big hole in the wall, but that's not the limit of its power, if you take a closer look then you can see that inside the hole is a huge room that is filled with crushed rocks. The room was bigger than the hole itself, this is because the explosion was concentrated inside the hole, forcing the hard rock to crumble and create a large space. Jin Sung can make the hole bigger so vehicles can enter and expand the storage room, although it was unnecessary for now. The cannon and the hole it created still have smoke coming out of them, people could hear it hiss as the cannon burned its barrel. Brugdath was in awe of the firepower of the mech. The mech had 4 limbs with 2 cannon as its hands and 2 legs that had a caterpillar track as its foot, it can raise its legs and walk like a human or use its caterpillar track to move, the caterpillar track was mostly used on a flat surface and it will walk if it needs to pass a bad terrain. On its shoulder is two M61 Vulcan cannons; it was a six-barreled Gatling-style rotary cannon with 20x102mm round as its ammunition. The bullet can travel up to 1050m per second, raining the enemy with this cannon will devastate their morale. The 2 cannon on its arm has been rifled to make the shell spin and improve its accuracy, it mostly uses HEAT shell as ammunition but it could be changed depending on the situation. Jin Sung stared happily at the mech, it was a wise choice he thought, look at how menacing it looks, if you have 2 Vulcan cannon and 2 tank cannon pointed at you, you would have no will to flee anymore, moreover, it looks cool and awesome, although it is quite expensive to build. Jin Sung only has 2 of these war machines. Now people in the modern world might think, isn't it just better to build a tank instead of a huge mech that is too easy to hit and see? Well, who said it was easy to hit, it had a top speed of 166 KM per second, it can jump around as its leg effectively supported its weight, it can accelerate to top speed in just 3 seconds, and Jin Sung can wrap it with his chameleon paper wrap to make it undetected by the naked eye. It was the dream of many nations to own one of these. Jin Sung wanted to use the mech himself, but he was the commander of the army. If he was busy shooting people, who would lead the army? This is the reality, not a superhero movie, he had an army to lead, he can't play a superhero in his position. Jin Sung could only sigh in disappointment without being able to use the mech on the battlefield. Brugdath's mind was in turmoil, the more he looked at the mech, the more he felt relief that he chose to surrender if he decided to fight back and met those on the battlefield, he would be dead without knowing how he died, even if he was inside a heavy-armored carriage, he would still be killed by that giant iron puppet. "W...What is that thing, how can you control something that powerful?" Brugdath tugged Jin Sung's hand as he questioned what monstrosity of a thing that is. "That is a mech, what do you think?" Jin Sung smiled, he was quite happy to look at Brugdath's face filled with terror and amazement. "I...I think it's very powerful, how do you control that?" Brugdath would like to ask if Jin Sung created it but it was obvious from the countless trucks that had come in and out of the storage room. "Haha, you don't need to know that, you see those 2 weapons mounted on its shoulder?" Jin Sung asked. Brugdath turned his head to look before he nods."Yes, what about them?" "What if I tell you it can shoot 6,000 projectiles per second and the projectile can hit a target within 1 km in a blink of an eye?" Jin Sung's smile widened as he saw the look on Brugdath's face. He was shocked out of his mind as he turned his head to stare at the Vulcan cannon, he cannot believe that thing was so powerful. He had seen Jin Sung's artifact before, the weird stick with a little hole and a trigger that could kill his men with one shot. "How can such a thing exist?" He stared at the mech for a while before he turned his head to look at Jin Sung, the very reason why all these weird and powerful artifacts existed is because of this man right here, he chased no fame, no wealth, and no power. Yet still, this man could create all these just for the ordinary people, is this man a lunatic, fighting for the people he didn't even know, just because they are weak and badly treated doesn't mean they deserved to be saved by Jin Sung. "Are you planning to fight the whole world?" Brugdath stared toward Jin Sung, his face stern as he questioned Jin Sung's ambition. Jin Sung's face turned serious."I'm fighting for equality for every human in the world!" He took a step forward as he announced, that words strengthen his resolution to fight, people's evil nature is everywhere, whether they are ordinary or cultivators, status did not matter what matter is the opportunity, if a human had an opportunity to do bad things without consequences, chances are he or she will do it. All kinds of psychological tests had been done back on planet earth, and Jin Sung can conclude a few things about human nature. Humans will do bad things for their interest if there is an opportunity, his or her identity is hidden, and if he or she has the power to do it. If someone had the power to teleport everywhere, he or she would most likely teleport inside the bank's vault to steal money, if a man had the power to control a country, and he had an opportunity to make money out of it, he would almost certainly do. This could be bribery, changing the law to benefit oneself, and corruption. If a man could bully without fearing social distribution, he would most likely do, an example of this would be cyberbullying as they hide behind the mask of the internet, their identity is hidden and unclear with this they can avoid social distribution for bullying. But Jin Sung did not care about that, he believed he could change people for the better by educating them, but that could be done later after he successfully removed the harsh inequality in this world. "For what? What would you get after you reach your goal? Do you want your name to be worshipped by everyone?" Brugdath stepped forward as he stared Jin Sung in the eye. Jin Sung smiled but his eyes still fixed intently towards Brugdath."That would be nice too, but my only goal is to make everyone have the opportunity to make themself happy, I want everyone to have hope that tomorrow will be better than yesterday!" Jin Sung stepped forward until he had to look down to see Brugdath."What about you, what do you fight for?" Brugdath had his head up as he stared at Jin Sung, doubt could be seen in his eyes. What did I fight for? Fame? Money? Power? All of these seemed mundane and irrelevant compared to Jin Sung's dream. Brugdath Smiled as determination replaced the doubt in his eyes."Fighting for equality of all men? Haha, let me help you do that, fighting for power and money seems too mainstream these days!" They stared at each other for a moment before they burst into laughter, Jin Sung tapped Brugdath's shoulder."You make a great choice, we're making history here, no one had ever done this in the past!" Brugdath nodded, although he wanted to tell Jin Sung that someone had revolted against cultivators, he decided not to do so as their end can already be guessed by the current state of the world. "Yeah, yeah, you can stop with the motivation speech now. Just give me weapons and men, and I will rush to other cities and conquer them for you!" Brugdath waved his hand a few times. He was confident that with Jin Sung's artifact he could conquer other cities in a matter of days. Jin Sung smiled as he shakes his head a few times."My victory is not the result of my enemy's destruction, my victory is when my enemy surrenders and joins me in my cause!" Brugdath raised his eyebrow and turned his head towards the mech before he turned again to look at Jin Sung."With weapons of mass destruction in your hand, how can you say such words while staring at me, are you a hypocrite?" "Hehe, I haven't finished my words, if the enemy does not surrender and are unwilling to join my cause, destruction will be their only end!" Jin Sung had a dangerous gleam in his eyes as he exclaimed, that was the eyes that will not give mercy to its enemies, it will kill without remorse and it all for a just cause. Or that was what Jin Sung thought, if killing millions of people for equality of men was a just cause, then anyone could come up with a just cause to kill millions. It is unknown if Jin Sung had been turned into a madman and used a just cause to justify his sin. He was just an ordinary scientist back on earth, yet the moment he arrived in this world, the first thing that came up in his mind is to kill cultivators for their loot, is the memory of the real Jin Sung affected his personality or is he Jin Sung from this world or Jin Sung from the earth, nobody knows, only time can tell.
