Aftermath (4)

Agata looked at the two disappointed old men and shook her head. "Well, he will come to this place sooner or later. Don't you think it's good to start procuring Skill Cards? I'm sure he won't mind upgrading some skills as thanks."0

"!!!" The Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint widened their eyes. Although they had some speculations about Richard, this was the first time they received a confirmation from Agata. "You serious?"

"Yes. Knowing him, he would thank you guys that way." Agata nodded. "He won't stop even if I tell him not to…"

"Haha, that stubbornness is good. Though, you'll have a hard time from now on, girl." The Heavenly Sovereign chuckled. "It's going to be hard to hold him down. After reaching the top, he's going to be alone and bored… At that time, he will start playing everywhere and more… women in his life."

Agata shook her head. "To be honest, I'd prepared myself for that instance. Theo might be stubborn right now, but who knows what he will do in the future. Just take a look at his current relationship… Maya, Nella, and Rea. Well, I don't like it either, but I might not be able to keep him by myself."

Agata's problems were reflected in her expression. Even the Sword Saint somehow felt bad, even though his daughter was among those names.

However, Agata added, "Though I don't know what he is thinking, it seems he has a target that won't disappear for a long time. That way, I don't think he will be bored anytime soon."

"A target?"

"I don't know about it yet. He just hinted to me that he had prepared an unending adventure for us to have some fun in the future."

"I see. I'm also curious about it. Then again, he won't bring me anyway." The Heavenly Sovereign shrugged.

"That's true. Anyway, now that the situation is like this, Theo's reputation will become unshakable. Even if he does something that people will frown upon, the first thing they will think is Theo having a hidden reason to do it." Agata smiled while watching the news on Skynet.

"Now that I think about it, you're correct. If he suddenly visits us and attacks me, doesn't that make me a villain?" The Heavenly Sovereign pointed at himself before asking Agata. "Shouldn't I kidnap you now and make him kneel before me?"

Agata only chuckled at the teasing and said, "You're his ally, so of course, it won't happen. Though, I can't say the same as others."

"Fair enough." The Heavenly Sovereign chuckled while glancing at the Sword Saint.

"Why the hell are you staring at me?! Are you implying that I'm going to be stabbed like that?!"

"What are you talking about? I'm simply looking at you, there's no other meaning." The Heavenly Sovereign looked away playfully.

The Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint started bickering again while Agata kept reading the news with a smile on her face. She muttered in a low voice. "Just a few more months… We're going to meet again."

…

While the others were reacting to Theo's action during the battle, the person in question was still on his way back to the base. After all, their base was quite far from the union.

Of course, Theo had his clone remain inside the union to observe the change.

While sitting on the Dark King's horse, Theo thought, 'Without my clone, I might need another two months to complete my laws. After that, my Order will become an Authority.

'Although it's beyond my schedule, there should be no more problems during the next few months. What I'm worried about right now is something else…'

Theo hesitated for a moment before asking the Dark King. "Do you know how many Saints are out there?"

"How many Saints out there?" The Dark King was startled by this question. "I'm not very sure about it myself since even the Frost Saint doesn't tell me much about them. He only told me that in ancient times, there were 70 Saints that created an agreement not to interfere with each other and maintained Orders.

"70 Saints…" Theo was surprised by the number. It was beyond what he expected. But considering the change in the current world, he thought that there were less than seventy Saints in the world right now, even if he included Human Saints.

"Possibly, there are only forty to fifty Saints left in this world. But where are those Saints after the apocalypse? Several of them are showing themselves to the world, but there should be more Saints who are living in seclusion. It's not that they don't want to terrorize the Earth, there simply no merit in doing so."

"Do you think so? I'm not that well-versed about the world."

"No, I'm just thinking if there is a sudden phenomenon that can give them a reason to come out…" Theo muttered as his expression became cold.

"Do you mean…" The Dark King understood his worries as his expression became grim.

"Well, there are simply too many things that can cause it."

"Such as?"

"Natural Disasters like Earthquake, Tsunami and so on… They can wake those monsters up. Feeling disturbed, they might cause a lot of destruction around the world. Then, there is that mutated monster…

"The monsters created by humans' mistakes… And unfortunately, humans' mistakes are not only about radiation. There are two biggest mistakes that might bite humans in the near future. This is what I'm worried about right now."

"What are the two biggest mistakes?"

"We have solved one of the three biggest mistakes, which is pollution. But we still struggle with trash and chemicals. The chemical might create a different type of mutated monster while the trash… Oh boy, I don't want to think about it." Theo sighed. "And if we still struggle with those two mistakes and another apocalypse happens that wakes up all those Saints. The Age of Gods might happen again."

"How humans haven't gone extinct yet?" The Dark King's eyebrows twitched because he asked purely out of concern.

"Don't ask me. If an alien suddenly appears and tells me humans are trash, I'm going to agree without hesitation." Theo shrugged.
