1402: Welcome

Welcome

"With this, the battle has finished." Theo muttered while looking at Airvans' severed heads. After Eric died, he was overwhelmed by Theo and Ava. It didn't take too long for them to kill Airvans because there was no more Pure Water as long as Theo was there.1

"You don't seem to be that happy even though we've defeated all of the opponents," Ava asked, noticing the emotion hidden behind that poker face.

"Yeah. Won the battle but lost the war, I guess." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "The situation would become far more complicated. Even I can't predict everything that will happen after this."

"Even you?" Ava widened her eyes in shock. Normally, Theo could see or even predict what would happen all around the world after his action. Even if he didn't say it, he was aware of how others would act. So, it was surprising that Theo admitted he couldn't do it this time.

"Yeah. I'll tell you about the details later. But the Griffith Family is not weakened at all in this battle. In fact, I can say they have become stronger." Theo sighed. "Now that my identity is exposed to the world, other countries have the chance to ally with them to eliminate me.

"Even if they can't easily kill me, I can't say the same about other people. Luckily, I don't have many friends, or I'll have a headache."

Theo thought for a moment and turned around. "Anyway, it's time to go back. The Poison King should have retreated and the group has eliminated the enemies."

"Alright." Ava jumped to her favorite spot, Theo's right shoulder. She asked, "By the way, are you not satisfied with that old man?"

"Although it's true that I can't do much to him, I don't think I'm that disappointed." Theo shook his head gently. "Karma."

"Karma?" Ava tilted her head in confusion.

"Haha." Theo chuckled and didn't explain further. He then went to his group, which managed to defeat all the enemies. With Ergene taking the command and Akbar matching the enemies, the group could easily fight without him. And Marzio's help completed the group, allowing them to handle all these enemies.

Walker gently bowed his head upon Theo's arrival, thanking him for the opportunity to exact revenge. Akbar closed his book while maintaining his dignified appearance. Coline was searching for some recipes on the Skynet for the celebration.

Rea had begun calling people to clean up the mess and informed them that the battle had finished. Felix and Ruth sat next to each other as they were tired of fighting against the Poison King, while Ryo still stayed with Chris who was playing his piano for their victory.

Jeff even painted and transformed the plain into a flower field to soften the atmosphere.

All of them were waiting for him as this was their victory.

Theo knew this wasn't the time to break out the news about the situation on the other side, so he put on a gentle smile as they enjoyed this victory for a moment.

And of course, Theo might be disappointed that he couldn't kill Eric, but he wasn't that angry at all. After all, he had knowledge about Heaven, Hell, and the Spatial Rift. If this place was Heaven and the other side was called Hell, then the Spatial Rift was the place where a strong soul gathered and watched over the world instead of reincarnating.

And the Mind Elder's soul absolutely had the qualification to enter that world, considering he was someone possessing Order.

And due to this particular reason, Theo didn't feel that angry when he couldn't do much before the Mind Elder died.

The Mind Elder himself arrived into the spatial rift with a hollow gaze. His consciousness had yet to gather after traveling to the underworld. He had just gone to the underworld and was about to reincarnate, but due to the system Hel created, he was transported to the Spatial Rift as well. If the Death Reaper didn't sacrifice herself in the underworld to revive the Original Theo, she would have ended up in this place.

After a while, the Mind Elder had gathered enough consciousness that he started moving.

In his front was a road made of gold. He could see a few houses made of gold that looked majestic despite their humble style. The atmosphere in this place was cool, but he could feel something that energized his heart. It was an amazing feeling that he could only feel here.

"This is…" the Mind Elder was confused and looked left and right to confirm his place. "Is this an afterlife?"

On his left was a road made of clouds and stretched to the horizon. Meanwhile, on his left were two people walking toward him as if they were trying to guide him.

The first one was a guy with short black hair. He had a confident gaze and wore formal attire coupled with a knee-length jacket. At one glance, people believed he was an intelligent man.

The second one was a woman. On one side, she was an extremely beautiful woman that could make people fall in love. But on the other side, her body was like an undead. Her flesh was melting continuously and some of her bones were exposed.

They looked like a guide until the Mind Elder heard what they were talking about.

"So, this guy is the one. Even I have my own standard in using my illusion. But I guess we can tie him up somewhere and bring the snake to melt his body with poison. I've experienced it, so I know it's very effective."

"Instead of poison, why don't I make his flesh melt like an undead? The pain is similar, and no one can stop it."

"That's a good idea."

These two finally arrived in front of the Mind Elder with huge smirks on their face.

"Who are you two?" The Mind Elder asked, curious. This was the first time he experienced the afterlife, so he wanted to know everything.

The two answered at the same time with a big smile. "We're the ones who will torture you for eternity."
