Chapter 1994 The Beginning Of The End

Theo sighed. "I know it's not the time to be picky. As much as I want to turn those people as soldiers in times of war, it's not possible currently, especially due to the tension inside the base.

"All we can do is to force them inside and consider those who are outside to be spies." Theo narrowed his eyes. "In any case, the enemies are coming straight at us. If we can't handle the head-on attack, we will fall."

Theo looked at Lyrventh and Lydia. "Lyrventh, you have heard your task. Go to the west and find any monster that might be the enemy's reinforcement. I will send someone to protect you. However, I don't think you can be with Lydia this time."

"W—" Lyrventh wanted to protest, but Theo added, "She also has an important task. She is going to the rear, especially near the wounded. Her positivity is one of the things we need to keep the morale of the injured soldiers."

Lyrventh wanted to say something, but Lydia had declared, "I will do it. I know that I don't have good ears nor do I have the power to fight those monsters. If I can do anything that helps as many people as possible, I will do it! No, please let me do it."

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose. He already knew how strong Lydia's heart was, but when he was confronted by it, he felt a bit helpless.

Theo sighed. "I know. I shall leave them to you, Lydia. However, I have one thing to say as well. I want you to watch the battle closely… Look at our battle. This kind of battle might come again in the far future when everyone here is already gone. When that happens, I don't know if the humans have the strength to fight them or not.

"So, I want you to make sure you convey my message. If the humans in the future don't join forces where all people, who can contribute, contribute to the battle, humanity might lose."

Lydia nodded with a serious expression. "Yes, I understand."

"Good."

After giving the two kids their tasks, Theo returned to the God of Mischief. "It seems that you're planning something after the battle."

"Haha. It's gonna be a bit boring if we ever win this battle. So, I'm just trying to make myself busy. It's better than me wreaking havoc, right?"

Theo shrugged. He didn't give the answer, but everyone would answer the same thing. There was no way they wanted the God of Mischief to come to trick all of them and cause some messes.

Before they continued with their conversation, the Heavenly Sovereign opened his mouth, finishing his calculation. He asked, "You said I would die in the near future, right? I'm going to tell you that I'm not planning my death here. Seeing how you are so friendly to the children can't help but make me remember the time I spent with my disciple."

"Humans are interesting. What did they say again when people said something like that before a big battle… a death flag?" The God of Mischief smirked, teasing him.

The Heavenly Sovereign smirked, not afraid of him. He even pointed at Hel. "Well, there is the Goddess of Death here. Knowing that the Goddess who controls the afterlife is this beautiful, I don't mind dying at all. Hahahahaha! But I'm not planning to die in the battle…"

The God of Mischief opened his mouth as if he was trying to tell him something. But the Heavenly Sovereign interjected. "To put it simply, I'm telling you that I'll be following your plan."

The God of Mischief was silent for a moment. He couldn't help but smirk, "This is going to be interesting though."

"Of course. Since this is the plan that the God of Mischief devises himself, I'm going to thoroughly enjoy it!" The Heavenly Sovereign smiled.

"Hehe. Are you ready to troll the world?" The God of Mischief smirked.

They continued their discussion after that. Eventually, the Heavenly Sovereign and Theo returned to the base. The Heavenly Sovereign looked extremely satisfied since he hadn't stopped smiling ever since they got back.

On the other hand, Theo had started focusing on the details in their preparation.

They only had two days left before the monsters arrived. So, they had to make the best preparation possible.

The army had spread their army as much as possible, making sure every corner of the base was protected. Even the government had spread the word about the upcoming battle that involved many World Class Monsters.

Panic and chaos started occurring. They were trying to stock their empty shelves and some even tried to threaten others for those resources.

But because the government was using all their remaining personnel to keep the chaos down and Theo used his influence to spread the news to calm the people down, the chaos soon calmed down. It didn't turn into a big riot.

Although the government and Theo had some friction, both of them knew that if they didn't cooperate this time, they would be defeated. The president and Theo had agreed on a truce. So, there was no more threat from the government at the very least.

The rest of the people had reached the border. There were many Transcendent Level Experts and Saints. This might be the first time so many strong people united.

They had a common enemy they had to defeat.

Theo was standing in front of the army. Because of the circumstances, the base had to issue the only military rank that would only appear during a wartime.

Hence, Theo became the Commander of the Army just for this battle.

He stood in front of many soldiers. There were a lot of cameras pointed at him to be broadcast to all people fighting on the frontline.

Behind him were the Heavenly Sovereign, the Sword Saint, a couple of Transcendent Level Experts, and some generals from the army.

He looked at them with a serious expression as he opened his mouth, starting the last speech.

"The war to decide humanity's survival… is about to begin."
