Ruin

Even though he knew that the people he had formed a team with would end up becoming enemies, he needed them to increase his chance of survival.

And it was better if they were people of the same strength or weaker than him so he could try surprising them with his power. 

Where he would find the teammates? Well, in the Nine Claws City, there are people everywhere looking for teammates they could search the Abyss Pit together, more precisely it was a large public building where finding teammates was just one of its features. 

So after a while. he set off to the city. 

Unlike before, entering the city was easier as he didn't need to climb the rigged walls and could instead just fly over there.

...

Entering the city, he saw the tall trees everywhere. Some of the monsters choose to live here due to the order and benefits they could get, so they had rented or bought a tree from the city.
