2128: Reactions

Reactions

This declaration was received differently by the people. Some people thought this was something to be celebrated, considering Theo managed to defeat the slime even if it cost him his life.2

However, those who were close to Theo couldn't believe that he had died.

But every single person who attended that meeting couldn't help but recall one thing that Theo once said.

"Even I can't guarantee my own survival, so I want to warn you that you might die in the battle."

And the result of this battle was extremely horrifying. The Fist Saint died, the Lightning Saint sacrificed his life, Hel couldn't even maintain her Death Armor, the Sword Saint wouldn't be able to wield the sword like he used to, and the Heavenly Sovereign almost became blind.

Theo and the God of Mischief, their greatest fighters, ended up sacrificing their lives in order to exile the slime instead of killing him. That was how strong the slime was. This sacrifice felt heavy.

But the heaviness was far different from the one Agata experienced. The moment she heard Theo had died, Agata dropped everything on her hand while slamming the table in front of her. She shouted, "What? Theo died?!"

She was horrified. The battle was so fast that she thought the teleportation was just another trick from Theo. But it turned out that moment was actually when Theo sacrificed his life.

"No. How can he die?!" Agata tried to deny it. Theo should be the last person to die because of his wits.

"Agata!" Leonardo was as shocked as she was, but he had to remain as calm as possible, trying to stop Agata from doing something reckless.

Agata didn't listen to him as she hurriedly ran away from the room.

"Agata!" Leonardo stood up, planning to chase her. However, Nella suddenly came to his side and said, "I'll chase after her."

Nella's expression wasn't that different from Agata's, but she still maintained a bit of her rationality. Leonardo knew that he should remain here to properly close the battle. He was also hurt after losing one of his grandsons, and Theo was the brightest among them.

Unfortunately, he could only nod his head, saying, "Please."

Nella hurriedly chased after her.

Meanwhile, the people from Theo's group had a different type of shock.

"What?" Ava gasped. Her anger and sadness were mixed in her heart. Theo had always been there for her, but in this battle, she couldn't even help him.

Felix, on the other hand, experienced a mixture of anger and shame. There was one single thought that kept replaying in his mind. It was his oath to Theo.

"I, Felix Holt, don't have any more fear. If the enemy is stronger than me, I will become even stronger and kill them. If you end up dying in the process, I will gladly kill myself to go to Hell and kill the King of the Underworld so that I can bring you back to life."

He had failed. There was only one thing he had to do. He had to kill all the monsters before killing himself so that he could bring Theo back.

He let out a roar, releasing all that anger. It seemed that he didn't care about what happened to him as long as he could kill all these monsters.

Ruth maintained her composure, but she was also inconsolable over their loss. However, she was a bit worried about Felix's state. Ultimately, she used her remaining power to assist Felix so that he didn't die.

On the other side of the battlefield, there was a pair of husband and wife, who fell to the ground, completely overwhelmed with sadness.

They were none other than Ray and Valerie. Just when their relationship was about to get better, Theo had to leave this world.

The utter shock in their hearts stopped everything they were doing, as though it was not worth it anymore.

Theo had told them that he would sort out their relationship after this battle. But it appeared that day would never come.

  Other people from Theo's group were also rampaging. Christoper, Coline, Jeff, Akbar, Ryo, Walker, and Ergene. All of them used the last bit of their strength as though they were planning to bury all these monsters so that they could accompany their master.

However, the calmest one was actually Rea. It wasn't that she didn't want to avenge Theo. She was his disciple after all, so the desire was there.

But she had to face one more problem. The moment Theo had gone, everything about the group would be placed on her shoulder. If she couldn't remain calm, the entire group would crumble.

Even if she had to cut away her emotions, she had to remain calm and lead the group.

Still, Rea stopped for a moment, looking at the horizon where Theo had previously fought. She kneeled on the ground and placed her head on the ground, as if giving him the respect he deserved.

Rea had achieved all this because of his guidance after all.

She said, "Please leave everything to me, Master. I'll make sure to protect this group."

However, there was a different reaction when they heard Theo had died along with the slime. Instead of anger or sadness, they actually felt relieved.

They were none other than the president and his cabinet members.

"Theo has died with the slime?"

"And that powerful person is also with them?"

"As much as I hate to admit it, it is kind of relieving. I mean, if we talk about the future, if Theo and that person are helping each other, no one will be able to touch them. It can be said that Theo will be the one to control the whole world."

There was a sense of relief and even excitement, knowing that there would be no more threat to the government. It was a shame that the Time God betrayed them, but it didn't change the fact that the biggest problem had been solved as well.

Only the president remained silent the whole time. He kept staring at the screen. No one knew what he was thinking, but it appeared he was the only one hurt after losing Theo. His heart might be filled with ambition and politics, but in the face of a common enemy, he could easily drop every grudge in order to fight them.

Unfortunately, no one knew what he would do after this battle.
