While everyone busied themselves by harvesting the beast cores of the dead beetles, Thirteen handled the aftermath of the battle.
The captured Brood Mothers and the Brood Queen were inside Rocky's Mobile Fortress, their subconscious minds currently being inscribed with Evuvug's imprint within.
As long as they were dealt with, the Brain Beetle didn't need to exert too much psychic power to control its new minions.
All it needed to do was give an order, and the mind-controlled beetles would act to implement it automatically.
They were insect-type Jinns, allowing Evuvug to easily override their hive mind and make them listen to its orders permanently.
Thirteen understood that he couldn't purely rely on his own soldiers to defeat the Jinns, who now numbered in the millions.
He would need to "recruit" or negotiate with monsters along the way, so he could effectively wipe out a good chunk of them before High-Ranking Jinns start appearing.
