Chapter 1543 Two Groups

"I'm afraid that you have to go now, Theo."

"…" Theo fell silent for a moment. There was no need for Hel to explain any further. In fact, Theo already knew what kind of event would cost all those lives.

"I haven't even broken through." Theo clicked his tongue, annoyed.

"I have said everything. It's up to you whether you're going to make your move or not." Hel shook her head. "I'll remain here to make sure no one causes trouble."

Theo scratched the back of his head, feeling awkward. On the one hand, he didn't want to leave before becoming an Authority. On the other hand, if he didn't go, it would cause a lot of deaths.

He didn't know how in the world it became quicker than he expected, but this matter must be related to the Griffith Family.

After some thought, Theo said, "Rea. Ask everyone to see who wants to stay or not. I'll only bring people who want to come this time."

"Understood. Give me a few minutes." Rea nodded and stepped away to contact all the people around.

While waiting, Theo asked Hel, "Do you know when the deaths will come? I mean, the travel time won't be that short."

"Within a month. However, I can feel the thread of death increasing so suddenly, so I'm sure of that."

"A month. That should be enough for something." Theo nodded while coming up with a plan right away. There were so many things he didn't know because of his seclusion, so it was a bit hard to predict the outcome.

Luckily, Rea had gone back and informed him. "Jeff wants to live here comfortably if possible, and he'll take care of the farms around here since they need it. Millie will also stay because her ability is needed to maintain the technology. Other than them, everyone has expressed their intention to go there."

Theo nodded with a serious expression. "If that's the case, I'm going to separate the team into two. Team A will consist of you, Felix, Akbar, Isaac, Levina, and Eleanor. Your job is to get all kinds of information before Team B arrives. I have to get some reinforcement, so it's going to be delayed a bit.

"Anyway, I'll give you the concrete plan later. You are to go in a few hours. My team will go after three days."

"Understood. I'll inform them."

Even though Theo didn't say much, Rea could predict some reasons why Theo split the team into two. The first team was for information gathering as he said. Akbar and Eleanor were good at this, while Felix maintained their security. Isaac, as the genius of the group, would have to conduct his experiment there to see the change and Levina could assist him. And the last person was herself. She was the only person who could control the group besides Theo, so she had to be there.

Hence, this team was indeed the best one that they could send.

So, Rea immediately gathered them to brief them about Theo's intention. As soon as the team was ready, they left their base, following the route and the plan Theo had given.

They were excited because this was the first time they could see the huge base again, wondering what change it had undergone.

On the other hand, Theo didn't go immediately. Instead, he went back to his temple and summoned his clone.

"I only have a month… It's true that my laws have been set, and I only have to apply the finishing touch. But the two months I told Rea is the best case scenario, so I won't be able to stretch it further.

"I know that the enemy this time is going to be extremely dangerous. So, I wonder what I should do… Should I skip some phases? But it will cause a weaker foundation to the laws and there'll be potential for error when using the power." Theo looked down with a serious expression. "I guess I'll have my clone stay here so I can keep thinking. On the way, I'm also going to have someone carry me to make the progress quicker."

Theo nodded with a serious expression, knowing he had an important job. He knew that without Authority, this battle would be extremely dangerous. So, he planned to do everything he could.

As soon as he came out, the rest of the people had been waiting for him, ready to go.

His group consisted of Christopher, Coline, Walker, and Aisha. Before they left, Theo looked at Walker and said, "Walker. Do you think you can carry me? Like using a chain to make a basket or something? I might have to continue figuring out my power the entire trip."

"I can," Walker confirmed without hesitation. The fact that Theo wasn't confident in this mission showed how dangerous the expedition was.

Hence, he would accommodate all kinds of requests to increase the success rate.

"Good. We're going to go to the Frost Saint's location to bring some reinforcement."

"We're going to fight alongside the monsters?" Aisha asked.

"Yes. This battle will involve the humans, the monsters, and the mutated monsters. You can say that the failure of the humans affected the monsters and created something that would threaten the monsters themselves. It's normal for the monsters to get involved too." Theo nodded with a calm expression.

"I see. I don't have any qualms though. I was just surprised since this would be the first time we fought alongside monsters… other than summoned creatures."

Theo nodded. "Anyway, our destination is there. I'll leave the battle to you two, Coline, Chris. Aisha is with us, so there's no need to hold back."

"Got it." The two nodded.

"I'll leave everything to you, Jeff."

"Leave it to me. I'll take care of everything here." Jeff nodded with a smile, seeing them off with his sister.

"Please protect this place. Also, my clone will stay here until the last second. So, if you need anything, just inform my clone."

"Got it. Don't worry about this base. With me here, no one will be able to destroy it." Hel assured Theo.

"Alright. Then, let's go. Bye Bye!" Theo waved his hand with a smile as he sat down behind Walker before starting to meditate as soon as he couldn't see them anymore.
