Chapter 930: I Don't Blow Up Cities on Purpose
🕑 Added 2024-08-05 23:00:05 +0000 UTCCyrion was the capital of Estercost, and encompassed far more than the urban centre at its heart. A series of concentric walls ringed the city proper, with vast spans of agricultural land in between. Home to some of the most magical and valuable growing land on the planet, it was accordingly under impressive protection.
The messengers had, to date, made no attempts to invade Cyrion, focusing their efforts elsewhere. In the days before the messengers invaded Pallimustus, the Builder had not been so reticent. His cult had committed an unprecedented force to attacking the city, the remnants of which still lay beyond the outermost wall.
The Builder’s world engineer golems rivalled any diamond-rank monster for size. Almost two decades after their demise, their toppled and overgrown forms looked more like hills than engines of war.
Jason and his friends looked down on the fallen golems from an observation lounge on the underside of the cloud ship. The hull was completely transparent from the inside, allowing unrestricted views of the landscape. It did lead to an odd effect where the furniture seemed to be floating in the air.
“We managed to stop those things from activating in the Reaper’s astral space,” Neil said. “I can’t imagine actually fighting them.”
“We were bronze rank,” Humphrey pointed out. “It would be different now.”
“Not that different,” Clive said. “These golems are realms beyond anything we can create on this world. Actual, diamond-rank constructs. Even the diamond-rankers on our side wouldn’t have been enough without the city defences.”
“He’s right,” Danielle said. “In the entire history of Cyrion, the battle that left those things here was the only instance of even the outer wall being breached. Those golems made it past three layers of defence.”
“Why did they leave them there instead of clearing them away?” Neil asked. “Surely the salvage would be worthwhile, being cosmic super golems.”
“Even dormant, they were dangerous to approach,” Danielle said. “They were sealed off and left behind while the city focused on repairing the walls, in case the messengers tried to take advantage of the damage. Those inside the walls were cleared out, but the ones outside were left where they fell. They were sealed off, to keep the bold and curious from danger. Only years later were the areas around them unsealed and swept for lingering dangers.”
“I hope they got it all out before leaving them to grow over,” Neil said.
“They did,” Belinda said. “Clive and I had a discreet poke around a couple of years ago. Got some good base material if we ever want to knock out some constructs of our own, but all the fun stuff was gone.”
Jason looked through the hull in the direction of the wall.
“We’re approaching the defence perimeter,” he said. “There’s a city official on his way here in a small vessel. Come on, Miguel.”
Miguel Ladiv and the bartender, Jamar, were standing on the translucent floor, wobbling as if they had vertigo.
“What?” Miguel asked, looking up. “Right, sorry.”
He headed for Jason with the delicate walk of someone afraid the ice would crack under their feet.
“You’re not going to fall through, Miguel,” Jason told him.
“Uh huh,” Miguel said, and kept going as he was.
***
Even discounting the agricultural sectors, Cyrion was the largest city in the world. Even flying over it, it stretched out to the horizon in every direction. Few cities on Pallimustus had the sheer scope of Earth’s major cities, but from the air, Cyrion looked like Tokyo by way of the Emerald City of Oz. Grand towers shone in the sun. Massive lakes and whole forests fell within the urban sprawl. The sky was filled with air traffic, from small personal vehicles to massive airships the size of Jason’s and larger.
Shade was piloting the airship, but a city official was standing next to him on the bridge, guiding him along a very precise path. Even cloud ships were common enough in the city that it was fully prepared to accommodate them. They flew to one of the lakes where they were given space to convert the ship into a floating cloud palace.
Jason’s plans for his time in Cyrion didn’t involve sightseeing, the way they had in Vitesse. It was time to get serious about the return to Earth. During their travels, Jason had been studying more than a decade of work from Clive on restoring the bridge between Pallimustus and Earth. Once the expatriate earthlings were collected, they would be ready to head for Rimaros and the final stage.
In preparation for trying to collect the scattered Earth refugees, Jason had been working on his control over the System. The plan was to send out a message that would only reach the earthlings, calling them back to Cyrion. They had all started there, and most remained, making it the logical gathering spot.
For the first few days in Cyrion, Jason holed himself up in his cloud palace on the lake. Meditating for hours on end, he refined his control over the System with Li Li Mei as a test subject. Messaging her as an earthling proved much harder than targeting her as a specific individual. It took several days of practise before he was ready to take things wider, and those days were mercifully peaceful. Cyrion was one of the few places where a cloud ship full of gold rankers could arrive without it being a major event.
While Jason was practising, his team were hunting earthlings by more conventional means. Danielle went to the Geller compound in the city where she herself had gathered them following their arrival. That had been for their protection, given that dozens of outworlders make an enticing study opportunity. Both legitimate and less ethical researchers were eager to get their hands on such a large sample.
Once it was clear that Jason wouldn’t be coming to handle them, the outworlders had to be allowed out of protective custody. Many had the misfortune of discovering why they’d been in it in the first place, winding up on the table of some sketchy researcher. The Adventure Society ended up retrieving many of them, many traumatised and some dead.
That was the thread Humphrey pulled on, looking into the Earth people through Adventure Society records. As the rescued ended up in the hands of the Healer’s church, Neil pursued that avenue. Estella took the approach of looking for rumours and stories in the city. Many were tragedies, tales of exploitation and experimentation. Most, however, were almost startling mundane. The earthlings were mid-rank core users in a large city, and met the same fate as locals in that position: being hired by noble houses.
Being a guard for a noble house was a role that became increasingly odd the more prominent the family. The most prominent members of such houses were usually adventurers, whether active, retired or semi-retired. Anyone capable enough to protect such people were too powerful and important in their own right to be a servant.
Most house guards were failed adventurers, and were treated as such. They served as thugs for family interests or security for family assets. The more capable amongst them were assigned to protect house scions yet to gain their essences, or low-ranking family members who never had adventurer training. The most important role of a family’s private guard was to simply exist. Any aristocratic house lacking a staff of essence users would find its status within society in jeopardy.
Many of the Earth essence users met the exact criteria for a house guard, being trained in combat but having advanced through monster cores. Their unusual backstory proved exotic enough that they were able to command high salaries from noble houses that valued such things.
By the time Jason was ready to send out call through the System, his companions had already built a solid list of Earth expatriates. If Jason’s message didn’t work out, they would still be able to collect a lot of people. It was the ones who had gone roaming, like Li Li Mei who would be the problem. Without a way to call them back, they would have to be abandoned, at least for the immediacy. Jason had no intention of chasing down trails a decade or more old, hunting them one by one.
Jason sent out his message, and his diligence in preparing for it seemed to pay off. It did appear to target the earthlings and no one else. The people who answered the call were all from Earth, at least at first, and there were no reports of anyone else getting strange messages about another world.
Those enthusiastic to return home were the first to respond, arriving at Jason’s cloud palace as directed. Others were uncertain about giving up their new lives, seeing little value in what they’d left behind almost two decades ago. For many, that was half of their lives or more.
Some were on the fence, heading to Jason’s cloud palace in search of others like them. They wanted to discuss with other Earthlings whether they should go back. They also had stories of those who had no interest in going back, to the point of fearing they would be forced to. It prompted Jason to send out a second message, telling all who wanted to stay that they were free to.
Whether they wanted to return to Earth or not, many came to cloud palace wanting to meet Jason and his famous companions. Especially amongst those serving major families, many had heard of Jason, Team Biscuit and their exploits.
After the first day, a different kind of problem occurred. People who had never been to Earth were turning up, claiming they had. Some were laughably transparent fakes, trying to escape debts or other problems. Others were better prepared, often would-be spies for various organisations, legitimate and otherwise.
Jason and Farrah ended up screening people. As even an outworlder aura signature could be faked, their screening process had to be more creative.
“Best Mad Max movie?” Farrah asked.
“Fury Road,” the man in front of her said.
“Incorrect.”
“What do you mean, incorrect?”
“The correct answer is Beyond Thunderdome.”
“The one with Tina Turner? She was terrible in that movie!”
Jason rushed to restrain Farrah, who was jabbing a finger at the man as she yelled at him.
“You shut your filthy mouth! You’re never getting back to Earth, you hear me? The planet’s better off without you!”
Jason was certain that many of the genuine humans had been paid handsomely by different interests for a variety of tasks. That was not a disqualifying factor for those genuinely from Earth, but they did get a warning as to what would happen if they caused trouble.
The next problem was harder to deal with than people clearly not from Earth attempting to synopsise the Police Academy films.
“Jason, none of these people were alive when those movies were released,” Farrah pointed out. “Even the people from Earth can’t tell you what happened in them.”
“Exactly. Anyone who gives it a go is clearly not from Earth.”
People from Earth now working for the noble houses turned out to be the largest issue. If the guards were happy to stay, that was fine. Many had built good lives in the service of the aristocracy. The nobility had proven unwilling, however, to release those who did want to go back to Earth. It wasn’t every house, but enough to be a problem, the nobles leaning on local laws to keep their people where they were.
Cyrion’s laws were very much built to favour the aristocratic families, and house guards were technically a form of indentured servitude. Very well-paid servitude, but if the noble houses wanted to make an issue of it, they held all the power. Many of those houses were using that power to prevent their guards from leaving.
It didn’t take a lot of investigation to confirm Jason’s immediate assumptions. None of the Earth people were so valuable that the houses had a real need of them. The value they held was that Jason wanted them, and that was an advantage the nobles could leverage.
***
“I don’t blow up cities on purpose,” Jason muttered to himself. “I don’t blow up cities on purpose.”
It was Jason’s eleventh day in Cyrion, and the fourth day of meetings with representatives of the noble houses. Ignoring his instincts to do something drastic, Jason had chosen a diplomatic approach. He had set up meetings with the aristocratic families, their chosen representatives being a message in and of themselves. An important family member being present was a signal of respect, while a bureaucratic functionary was a slight to Jason and his team.
Some of the meetings were one to one, while others brought all the representatives together. Jason handled the talks himself, for the most part, drawing on the lessons in diplomacy and etiquette he had received from Danielle. She was with him, occasionally taking the forward position, but mostly leaving it to him.
By the fourth day, however, Jason’s patience was dangerously thin. These families were opportunists, using legal privilege and what amounted to slave laws to get what they could out of him. There didn’t even seem to be something specific they were after; they had found a lever to pull and saw no reason not to pull it. In return for releasing the guards they were asking for anything from Team Biscuit’s services in their family’s interests to insider information from Clive’s Magic Research Association.
Seeing Jason teetering on the edge of doing something very true to his nature, Danielle ended the meetings for the day and led Jason out. The venue was Jason’s cloud palace, so they went further in while avatars led the representatives out.
“You’re doing very well,” she said. “In terms of keeping your temperament, at least.”
“These talks are going nowhere in a circle.”
“Because you’ve been unwilling to make any concessions. If you want them to give something up, you need to as well.”
“Their stance is immoral.”
“They don’t care. Or even share your opinion. In the culture of Cyrion high society, this is all normal.”
“I’m entirely happy to respect someone’s culture, so long as that culture is at least nominally worthy of respect. I can accept people having different values to me, but there has to be a line. Using what amount to slave laws to trade people like chips in a card game is over that line for me.”
“Then you are at an impasse.”
“Not necessarily.”
“Meaning?” she asked, her voice thick with suspicion.
“I realised from the beginning that these people were simply being opportunistic. They saw that I valued something they had more than they did, and could use the circumstances here in Cyrion to take advantage. While we’ve spent four days running around in circles, I’ve been preparing something that could possibly recontextualise those circumstances.”
“Jason, what did you do?”
“Nothing. Yet. I wasn’t even sure I could make it work. Figuring out how to target messages to the people from Earth was good practise, though. I’ve been building on that to do something a little more widespread.”
“Please tell me you aren’t going to try and blow up Cyrion.”
“Nothing like that.”
“Then what?”
“Well, I started by getting a list of all the countries and city states that have indentured servitude laws…”

I had this thought at the end of book 11: the conversation between Velious and Roofis about Garry be known to Jason? And Jason would know that Gary is Is the reincarnation of Gary?
MrTopHatCat
Yeah, that's kinda awkward isn't it?
Donald Spencer
One thing I noticed.. Almost two decades. 18 to 20 years. Emi is now 29 to 31 years old.
Nick Pincus
It's happening.
Zack
My guess is Jason already knows either because the conversation happened in his domain, or because he's become half-transcendent and is just picking up on things. I also think the only one to really worry about was Rufus because he was going to be a significant part of Gary2's education while growing up no matter what and had the potential to do the most harm. With Rufus setting the tone of who Gary2 is, the other will follow.
JonO
Just had an unrelated thought and didn't want to wait for the next chapter.... so you think if vellius is still on earth.... that he'll give Jason and company the low down about earth Gary? I'm listening to book 4 where emi asked about Gary and I cried a bit knowing she'll never get that hug. I think either vellius or Rufus needs to tell them asap before either of team biscuit and company takes a step too far without knowing.... especially since it seems earth Gary has an artifice profession (I base this on that he's involved with emi's rubiks cubes that are obviously not rubiks cubes).
Razeel Nightfall
Wow just imagine trying to close a system window, but the x in the top corner can't be clicked. First system that when you call IT their first response isn't "Have you turned it off and on again".
Joshua Stevens
There's also no war in Cyrion, so theyb seem similar in multiple ways
Daniel Storm
Oh... that last line. This is gonna be so. Much. Fun. 😂

Thx for the chapter

He Who Fights With Loose Ends. The "Oh yeah, those Earthers we abandoned for over a decade. I totally forgot about them." Edition

Cyrion reminds me a bit of how Ba -Sing-Say (not sure on the spelling) from Avatar-The Last Airbender (the animated one) is laid out.
Liesmith
"Anyone who owns another person like property is banned from the System. Fuck you and have a nice day."
mainiak
So ... Palimastus (sorry for spelling it wrong), doesn't have concept of mass media right? How about crash course with some good spyied secrets, fake news, and dirty laundry - aka your System Daily If there is one commodity that is precious to nobles - it would be their name/face (just pride) ... and then you just trash it (chaos follows)
Alex Schellenberg
Everyone is saying he is going to revoke access, I think he is going to give them early internet pop-up ads.
mainiak
Except that feels like an abuse of power, which he should gave up, and why he was chosen, because he did. If all he can do is spam people, then you just to need to send powerful message. Unless the system tell everybody that your title is fart Lord of stinkhouse for all the "noble" houses.
Bert Bertinelli
Team Farrah !
Ender419
I think he is about to have all of the indentured staff revolt via the system with counter-law after he read the bylaws. This is going to be great!!
DirePants
Multiverse Moses lol
DirePants
Hmmm I doubt he could revoke access as that would be similar to revoking access to the fabric of the universe… maybe he could eventually though 🤔 his highest trump card. Interesting theory tho.
DirePants
Omg 😂😂😂 still reading but seeing Farrah go off on dude hating on the Legendary Tina Turner was the highlight of my day! 😂😂😂 reminded me of mom 😂😂
Aerlevsedi
Man from the moment it mentioned sending messages to only earthlings I started wondering if he could send targeted denouncements of people or even revoke system access. Then that way to end it, now I get to see if some of those, at the time, random thoughts come true.
Ligeia
We may not know then, either -- Shirt knows how to keep us hooked!
ABTelford
Oh my gosh I am so tingling with anticipation for what comes next! 😂
joshua christopher
He’s about to be named interdimensional Abraham Lincoln!

I think there's about to be something akin to a law being passed. It will eventually be named Sophie's Law.
Lizy Flore
He is going to end systematic slavery 😂😂😂
Samantha Brown
Cliffhanger alert!
Abdulaziz ALRumaih
That would be nice
StarkRG
Never Gonna Give You Up isn't annoying enough. How about Who Let The Dogs Out, but it's just the chorus on repeat.
Stephanie Washburn
Oh dear. He's going to mass notify people via the system.
Flojoe
Imagine just kicking every country with slave laws out of the Systeme. Well at least until all slaves are free.
Andromeda Adams
What did Jason do? Lol I can only imagine.. till the next chapter anyway, then we will know. TYFTC!!
StarkRG
No reason Cyrion has to be within the borders of France. It could be somewhere like Barcelona (though the implication is that it's further from Greenstone/Kalahari). It's a truly enormous city, which means its centre is likely quite a ways inland. If Doggerland didn't sink beneath the sea on Pallimustus, it could be London or Amsterdam. Or even somewhere actually *on* the Pallimustus equivalent of Doggerland (there *were* towns and villages on the Earth version, they just didn't get the chance to grow into cities).
StarkRG
Title: [Slaver] A [Slaver] will be treated as Normal Rank for rank disparity calculations against a [Slave], [Indentured Servant], or [Emancipator] who will all be treated as Diamond Rank.
Abdulaziz ALRumaih
JASON, what did you do!
Justin
😂😂😂 GREAT CHAPTER!! TYFTC!!
Justin
And just like that, every shithead in the world has a debuff if they are a holder of a slave contract, if they hinder the release of a slave, or actively promote the continuation of slavery. Something non-lethal but personally devastating. Like a curse of bad luck or minor inconvenience.
DarthPineapples
Is Jason about to do a very Australian thing and take all these indentured servants (prisoners) and put them in one place like his soul space and take them with him?
Isaac Scharff
He seems pretty determined to move the story along
ThoMiCroN
Let me guess, Jason will deny passage to Earth to citizens from countries that practice indenture or slavery?
Alejandro Piña
Richard get off the chat…
joseph peltier
Welp, time to embrace the hegemonistic tendencies again; I can’t wait till Jason uses his system administrative abilities to give Dominion’s priests some sort of ultimatum as a prank. 😂
ThoMiCroN
If Vitesse is alt-Paris, then Cyrion is what, Toulouse, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux ? Lyon is the seat of the catholic primate of Gaul, so from a religious point or view it’s more of a capital than Paris.
Alex Cox
I hope there's gonna be people that agree... I keep seeing Jason and the rest of Team Biscuit as I listen Sweet Tooth by Scott Helman. An addiction to power that is way outside your grip... fixing problema for the little person vs the vast power while acing that with a secret. Either way envisioning Jason dancing with his team and even the greater powers of the Astral makes me feel its right, especially boiling down the fact its a man addicted to getting each and every recipe he can get his fingers on with needing that next fix of happiness or normal.
Adrian Cheung
I am so looking forward to the next chapter. Don't tell me Shirt then focuses on another person or location. I want to know Jason's scheme!
Malcolm
This next chapter is going to be glorious
Brandon Walker
I like this theory
J W
Oh no. A communist revolution via system messages.
Nick Pincus
Somehow I think both dominion and liberty are both going to love this.
John Durrett
Tina Turner. Thats all that needs to be said.! TYFTC!
NoChill
I mean he is a demigod at this point, he is the system and a universe onto himself, he made a race out of nothing and has had chats with gods. He is in all but name a god.
BloodStorm
It’s about time for the system administrator to give some people the boot. Revoke certain privileges and tag them with something. That would be awesome. I’m also excited that the story is moving forward
Erik Hyrkas
Good chapter
Jay Doubleyou Kay
I'm hoping for a mass spamming campaign like the Internet when your computer is full of Trojans and viruses lol Every time you close one window out, two more appear.
Jay Doubleyou Kay
That or he's going to spam them into oblivion hahaha
Valmorian
thanks for the chapter! was great
Ken Sevier
Ohhh snap!!
Greg
Anyone else feel like Jason is headed to turning into a god or Astryal being of Mercy?
Alex Cox
Jason himself has stated he has limits to what he can do, self imposed limits because NOBODY should have that capability. Not even the one who issues it. He's a mad lad, but he's got those needed to keep him in line so far.
Alex Cox
I would love for the Gods of Pallimastus to have bingo cards of something equivalent to it for Jason's antics
Thesaogamer Kirito
The Wingdings idea is diabolical!
Tempitheadem
Jason's going to revoke system privileges for any country that has indentured servitude laws, to be reinstated once they prove they've fixed it
Blake N.
Mad max in general is overrated
Matt Heineman
Or just ask Dominion to have a word with the families. We all know he'd do it just for the fun of it.
DreadHawk666 Aron
Thank you for the chapter 😁!
Dax
He's totally going to flag slavers as Slavers to everyone that looks at them. Wonder if he can re-enable the quest system for some bounties? xD
Raphael
Me too
Hayden Leech
I feel like this situation could be improved with the introduction of yet another insanely sexy princess. What are the Estercost royal family? Human?
BaguaBrady
Maybe he'll use the transcendent powers of contract arbitration to make the multiverse a better place!
Zen Devince
Jason is about to reprimand world leaders. And probably get away with it. Dominion would love that lol
Anthony Moreno
And now the System Administrator is getting involved..... This is gonna be good
Moonspike
Jason doesn't hold the moral high ground here and it's weird that so many seem to think he does. Indentured servitude is not slavery. They agreed to a contract with higher pay than they would otherwise get in exchange for agreeing to work exclusively for the noble family that offered the contract. Then later decided they no longer want to abide by there contractual obligations. And Jason is trying to force them to allow break of contract without paying for the break. His link is not a temporary and these individuals could return to earth after fulfilling there contract.
Connor
The notifications are delayed by a couple minutes. Quite a few people are here waiting for it at the time it releases (which is always pretty accurate on the hour)
jacob butler
All I know is for time saving purposes this will backfire exceptionally bad lol like is it really that bad that he can't just throw some money at it or kidnapp them
mainiak
It would be hilarious if he did same thing as Li Li Mei except, her attempt would seem like kids attempt after Jason moves.
Joe Valentine
System administrator says it’s Time to take everyone’s system privileges away.
StarkRG
"Hey Farah, ever heard of the hamster dance?" "Sure, a bit silly, but it had a nice beat to it." "Sure, now imagine that playing in your head on repeat, forever with no way of blocking it out."
Jordan Rogers
Or he will just send a message to the diamond tankers, these guys are annoying me cause slavery is bad can you throw them into space for a bit?
brian phillips
Jason about to start a societal breakdown 🤣
Xiggurat
I wonder if the messages targeting Earthlings were really limited to the ones on Pallimustus.
Jordan Rogers
Jason set their system messages to opaque, full screen, and they cant minimize it. Blocks there full vision, and all it says is I must not enslave my fellow man on repeat.
Michael
That's what I thought immediately.
Gafgarion
Thunderdome IS the best Mad Max.
Kazuto Bakura
If Jason is going to do what I think he is doing, Liberty will be so proud.
Robert Loo
Set up for the ultimate Rickroll
Harbby
Is he going to take the system away from them? 👀
Kazuto Bakura
He might be announcing that the system is not happy to see indentured servitude.
Anthony
Uh oh.... that last line does not bode well... Jason about to mic drop on the way out
Ford-Thomas Frank Loveland
I don't know what he's about to do, but it's going to be great to
Tucker Glick
I dunno if dominion would approve of this Jason maneuver
Danielle Warvel
Pure evil. I love this idea.
Scott McCarthy
Spam, with secrets Shade jas found out since it should tale a Diamond ranker to detect him.
Ligeia
Great chapter, Shirt! I have absolutely NO idea what Jason is going to do, but I suspect the folks who are trying to hold onto their Earthlings are soon going to be very sorry they ever tried!
Scott McCarthy
I do not think it has been around long enough for them to be dependent on it yet.
Alexis Christina
I love the thought of Jason going old school protest phone tree, using system messages to organize a worldwide anti-slavery march 🤣
Bonnie Leslie
I hope it’s spam
Stuart T
Administrative privileges are dangerous. You have to be careful when dealing with the people holding them.
Kaelan Spears
So, will he spam the system? Or cut the System off? I wonder which would be more effective
John Grizzly
Anyone who partakes in slavery or such suddenly doesn't have access to the system. Boom cities economically or socially combust. Maybe even physically, can't put it out of Jason's luck to actually make things go boom
tzvi
He's about to take away system privileges
Joanna
But where’s the fun in that?

Is Jason going to emancipate every slave and indentured servant on the planet? In the entire multiverse?? Boss move right there. Fully restrict access to the system? Never ending messages with a blaring alarm? Everything appears in Wingdings font? Tftc Shirt! Great chapter

Wooooooo just blow it up!

I'm more excited for next chapter lol.

It's good practice, Im sure, for Jason to access the System. But I feel like he could've just asked Knowledge for a list of his peeps.

Clearly, Jason isn't going to blow up a single city this time, but every place that has indentured servitude laws
