Chapter 1927 Trust

On the other side of the world, Theo was closing his eyes for a moment as if he was trying to think about something.

"Are you still thinking about them?" A deep, coarse sound came into his ears.

Theo gradually opened his eyes, staring at the owner of that voice. It was the monster he worked with, the Space Saint.

"Of course, I'm still thinking about them," Theo muttered with a sigh. "They are facing a huge hurdle right now, so there's no way I'm not thinking of them."

"But don't forget that you have agreed to create this bridge. Before that, I'm expecting you to continue working here."

"Of course. That's part of the agreement. But don't forget your promises as well."

"Absolutely." The Space Saint nodded with a serious expression. Unlike humans, monsters had the tendency to fulfill their promises without making any excuses. So, the Space Saint would certainly do it. "I'm going to make sure to teleport you back as soon as the bridge is completed. And I promise you that there won't be anyone to attack you and your human race after this.

"We are not planning to stay here anyway." The Space Saint shrugged. It was clear that he was fed up with this world. He just wanted to leave and never came back.

And Theo wanted to make sure he got rid of them. After all, they could join hands with the slime to kill the humans. He just wanted to get rid of that possibility.

Currently, Theo was working with a few World Class Monsters, including the Space Saint to create a tunnel that connected the two worlds.

"I don't understand you, humans. After infiltrating the human base a few times, I noticed their behaviors, which personally disgusted me. Why would you keep bringing down the one who has saved you?"

"…" Theo didn't reply to his question. Though, he knew what he was talking about.

There were a few instances like that in the past: Theo getting hunted down by the Griffith Family or the US Base trying to harm his people.

If he was the ruler of the monsters, it was certain that the monsters would follow him. So, he couldn't understand why Theo still bothered to save the human race.

Theo shook his head helplessly. "That's where you are wrong, Space Saint. Why would you keep bringing down the one who has saved you? That's exactly what makes humans interesting."

"Huh?" The Space Saint narrowed his eyes, confused by Theo's points of view. Normally, they wanted stability and loyalty. Yet, Theo actually preferred the opposite.

Theo smiled. "After you rule the monsters, what will you do after you save them?"

The Space Saint frowned. "I will simply go back."

"That's because you know they won't attack you, right?"

"Yes." The Space Saint nodded.

Theo glanced to the side, seeing a General Class Monster holding a huge rock. Suddenly, the General Class Monster dropped his rock and came straight at them, trying to hit the Space Saint.

"What are you doing?!" The Space Saint was strong enough to react, trying to stop him to the point he used enough strength to kill him.

The Space Saint's finger was covered in a pink aura and touched the monster's head. The pink light suddenly turned into a torrent, causing the head to be distorted and the brain exploded.

"!!!" The Space Saint widened his eyes in shock because he didn't expect that a General Class Monster would attack him. But after that, the General Class Monster vanished into thin air and the original monster was standing in his previous spot, scared still.

The Space Saint was emitting killing intent and enough power to decimate him after all.

But as soon as the body disappeared, he realized that everything was just an illusion.

The Space Saint glared at Theo, wanting to berate him.

That was when Theo smiled and said, "That might happen, you know. You have complete trust in them… While I do admire such a thing, I can't say I approve of it.

"Just like earlier, your people might harbor such a feeling toward you. They only hid it the whole time… And when you don't expect it…" Theo's smile became bigger.

"!!!" The Space Saint couldn't say anything. However, he could imagine what Theo wanted to say.

There might be a time when he continued his life like normal, but when he was about to do something, his body would fall sick and he would soon die. And at that time, his people were concerned about him.

He always trusted them, so he thought it was his age catching up to him. So, he ended up passing away without finding the real truth. And Theo indirectly implied that his condition was actually not a natural condition.

He might be poisoned, cursed, or influenced by something. And that monster achieved his objective after killing him. Everything was simply because he trusted his people.

"…" The Space Saint gritted his teeth, staring at Theo. "We are not humans. We won't do such a thing."

"Alright, then. I've warned you."

Looking at Theo's nonchalant expression, the Space Saint shouted, "You are sadder than me, human. You can't trust anyone in your life, including your own partner."

Theo smirked. "Of course, I can trust my own partner. I can trust my wife unconditionally, I can trust my people to watch my back. If not, I wouldn't be here with you and leave the problem to my group."

"Then…" The monster was confused since Theo had just contradicted himself. He thought Theo had forgotten what he said earlier about not trusting humans was interesting.

As if Theo could see through his head, he said, "Well, other than my wife and my group, I trust no one… No, should I say, I've lost my trust in humanity?"

"!!!" The monster widened his eyes in shock. Theo's expression was telling him that it was the truth.

So, he couldn't help but wonder why such a person would manage to reach this point and do all that for the humans when he never trusted humans.
