'I could probably make an amazing Jaeger with Pandemonium or just upgrade and repair the ones I currently have, which is a long list as a lot of Jaegers went out of commission in battle.' as I look over my inventory and see my weapons and all the Jaegers while steaming food sits next to them both.

'Though I don't exactly know what I'm going to do when I have all of this, I will probably just end up eating the metals before spitting them back out smelted. That way, I can make ingots or something, ' I think as I consider how exactly I'm going to make anything without a smith.

'Well, there was that smith in the Volcanic region. After all, they have already mass-tamed Monstrous Nightmares and had metal armor, so they must be able to make me something. Though if they made it this far that fast if I wait a year or two, they should already have a full civilization down there that I can work with.' as I start to ponder over going over to the Outcasts now to make a set of armor and weapons or wait for the future when they are more advanced to not need as much time for it to be made.

'Though that also raises the question of why they weren't able to be added to the Hivemind; maybe I need to go and check and see why it was very possibly a range problem or the fact they were underground.' as I teleport in the air of the Outcasts cavern and look at what is a forming medieval city filled with Na'vi and their wide variety of mounts mainly those of Monstrous Nightmares and Singetails while to the side of what looks like a giant castle that was worked into the cavern wall is a Red Death laying within a lake of lava.

'Wow, they have quite the assortment here, though I believe trying to use my Hivemind here would make it work now as this entire cavern is surrounded by Pandemonium, which probably nullified me sending out my telepathy and there being such a mass of people and animals probably interfered as well.' as I stretch my telepathy across the cavern and being hit with thousands of thoughts with the ones from the castle and coliseum being the loudest.

'Now, let's see if the Hivemind will work now that I'm down here and have a proper look at everything.' I start to touch all of the Na'vi's minds with my telepathy and slowly add them all to the Hivemind. I start to feel a couple of connections form with those around the cavern, mainly those who have started to work in Metallurgy, Masonry, and Medicine.

'So it works but not for all of them, though it also seems like the thoughts don't just come to me but the others connected to the Hivemind as well, which is definitely beneficial though can also be problematic in the future if miss used.' as I listen to all of the Na'vi I'm now connected to talk and wonder what is happening.

While listening to the chatter of the now-added Na'vi, I continue to try others to the Hivemind. I am able to get those who have a high standing in the Military and Scholars across the cavern as they practice new methods to try among their brethren and even a couple of gifted children showing high attunements to Psionics.

As these individuals start to wonder what is happening, the Scholars all quickly stop what they are doing and quickly see what is happening as they talk to each other using it and start exploring the capabilities of it as I watch them begin to experiment with the Hivemind among themselves and start to branch out to those within the Hivemind as well.

I then turn my attention to the military dragon riders and try to add them to the Hivemind. I see that they all easily join it but act like those of similar military standing and start wondering what it is before they even think of using it in any manner. One of them heads to their Lieutenant colonel and starts informing them of the Hivemind before he responds, saying he is part of it as well and says to be cautious with it.

'So this is what the Outcasts have managed so far. You have done quite well to advance yourselves this far, though that is to be expected as war and strife strokes genius and the way it can create.' I say through the Hivemind to all that are connected to it quickly, causing a rise in everyone connected as they know my voice and tone are not those of a Na'vi.

'Though I also believe being called the Outcasts is no longer fitting as you all have fit among each other quite well now and have to seem to have reached some form of civility though I will still be watching very closely.' as I appear above the medieval city for everyone to see me quickly causing a panic throughout the entire city. Still, the Scholars quickly get on their knees as I hear them say I have finally arrived.

'I shall leave you all a gift but also a sign of my watching, so don't disappoint me.' as I land in a clearing in the middle of the city and grab several boulders in the area and even some Pandemonium that I quickly eat as I start to form a giant church with my telekinesis and spit out the now molten Pandemonium and forming a seven-pointed star.

I then plant one of the Woodsprites in the middle of the church, which quickly sprouts into a small tree of souls covered in a deep azure blue with dark purple tendrils floating down from it, which I quickly connect to form as a catalyst for the Hivemind that way with time it will form as a religion.

'Take this and cherish it as I will know if it is desecrated or destroyed and if that is to happen, I don't mind waiting for your civilization to rebuild itself now. I will return in the future, so protect it well. It is a gift.' I say through the Hivemind as I teleport above my newly made church and teleport a couple of dozen Sentinels to me to act as Gargoyles to my church before I teleport in front of the sleeping Red Death

'I wonder how one of them could tame you after all. From the memories of the Red Death I ate, you all are quite prideful and would rather die than submit, though I guess that goes for many dragons.' as I then connect to its mind and gently sift through its memories.

'So it's the classic one of them saved you as a hatchling, and you have decided to protect this place and your saviors kin. Since I guess that's fair, then I will just give you the simple task of preceding with that and acting as this Kingdom's protector.' I say to the Red Death before teleporting into the castle and walking up to what looks like a throne made of metal, stone, and dragon bones.

As I walk towards the throne, I morph into a Na'vi, but I make a couple of changes to the morph, giving myself my horns and tail while increasing my height by another meter compared to them.

"The king of the growing Kingdom within my world, you are honestly quite menacing if not for the fact I could easily kill you and wipe out your entire family's work, though you already know that, after all, you are part of the Hivemind," I say to the king as he looks dead at me without a shred of fear towards me but just respect and slight concern.

"So you are what has been prophesied by my ancestor, the walking calamity that wiped out the entire clan with the ease of fire, ice, and lightning." The king says, looking over me before slightly sighing and leaning into his throne. He then stands up.

"One of you was able to keep your memories when they were added to my world. Well, that is actually quite interesting. Anomalies can appear, though I have to say this one isn't bad." I teleport in front of the king, causing several guards to come into the room and what looks like a mutated Thanator who looks incredible and is displeased by me.

"I would suggest calling off the guards, though I will happily let the Thanator stay. After all, a mutation to appear like this is quite nice; he is twice the size of his kin and secreting Kerosene Gel like a Monstrous Nightmare, though his carapace is also covered in a thin layer of scales, making him exquisite." I say as I scan over the now cowing Thanator after realizing who and what I am but not daring to run as its instincts tell it not to; otherwise, it will die.

"You are correct, Devourer. If you truly like this Thanator so much, you may have him as a gift to show we wish to have no prejudice towards you," the king says as he waves his guards away, giving them a glare that would scare even me if it came from the right person.

"Who said you could keep him anyway? I will. Accept him as a gift as he is quite extraordinary. However, if I were to eat him, I don't know if more would come to be or if I would just be killing a potential new species before it can truly flourish, though I keep seeing small details that are more and more interesting." I say to the king as I start to grow a crazed look while staring at the Thanator, quickly causing me to be confused but shrugging it off as it is just being curiosity for a new animal found within my inner world.

"Well, if you wish to eat him, we wouldn't stop you, Devourer, though we would recommend not doing that as we have done very select breeding to try and have something like this born, and it is the only one of his kind currently." The king says as he looks at the Thanator before looking back at me, causing me to raise an eyebrow before looking back at the Thanator.

"That is fair, though. You must love the interference of the sapient creatures when they mess with life and how it works, as you either get miracles like this or utter abominations that should have never been born. However, I believe I will ignore your recommendation." I say as I morph into a shrunken version of my normal form. I quickly eat the Thanator and watch a system screen pop up.

"If you are to make any other significant specimens like this, please connect yourself to the tree of souls within my church to inform me, and I will quickly come to see it. After all, that little snack will start appearing all over the cavern now and on the land above, so you now have new mounts of war, though I will now be taking my leave. Thank you for the snack and my now-gained curiosity about what else you may make." I say to the king as I then teleport above a volcano.

'Now, that was a great idea to go visit them. I now have a new species that they made and even added most of them to the Hivemind, and with enough time, they all will be thought with enough time I will have hundreds of new species just from them making them if they can make something like that already so early in there civilization.' as I look over the expanse of the Volcanic region and see hundreds of dragons from the boulder class and now Blazing Thanators running around easily fitting into the environment.

------------------------

{A/N Well, I hope you guys liked the chapter and how I took it, especially with how they are mostly part of the Hivemind as not all of them have gained complete sapience just yet, but most have, and even with how they have made their own species which frankly I gave a bad name but it was made on the spot, but I also see being quite useful as everything needs a regional variant after all look at Pokémon.

That aside, I will probably write one more chapter about his inner world before having him go back out to bug Godzilla some more and probably start bothering Kong as well.

But I will now put the usual below, so I hope you all enjoyed it.
