After considering his main ability, Theo looked at the other side. "I also have some normal abilities and the abilities I receive from other people. Though, the normal ability I usually use is only the Magic Bullet.
"As for the latter, I have Ascension Step from the Wind Emperor and the Invisible Vortex from the Dark Ki…Saint."
Theo felt this wasn't enough to defeat the slime. Although he planned to defeat the slime with the help of the God of Mischief, Hel, and the Heavenly Sovereign, he still felt this wasn't enough.
"What should I do?" Theo sighed, not knowing how to defeat the slime even with such a lineup.
Since it was impossible to find a way inside, he decided to come out to get accustomed to the three abilities he had just upgraded.
This might be the last training he could do before the next battle, where humanity's survival would be decided.
While Theo remained quiet inside his base, the world had undergone a great change.
The government's rise had been halted due to a few issues. After people started to speak up about all the deeds that Theo's Group had done on the battlefield, the public opinion split. On one side, they were questioning Theo's whereabouts during the battle. On the other side, they were supporting Theo, who seemed to be preparing for the upcoming battle.
It was clear that their reputation was restored after Theo started handling the problem.
The second issue came from the influences that previously joined the government to suppress Theo's group. There was a civil war among them, but Theo didn't interfere with their battle, so they continued for a bit until they reached a stalemate.
The third issue that the government had was actually Theo's existence. The name of Theodore Griffith was enough to instill fear in his enemies. So, the government became extremely cautious the moment Theo came back.
Last but not least, the government feared the change Theo brought this time. He managed to create a Transcendent Level Expert in just two days. So, they might have to consider their stance.
If they continued doing this, the moment the battle was over, Theo would create an army of Transcendent Level Expert. And with the leader becoming stronger than anyone else, even the Time God and the three Transcendent Level Experts on their side wouldn't be able to do anything to Theo.
So, they wondered if they had to reconcile with Theo to create a balance before it was too late. But they had suffered a lot from Theo and the current conflict happened because of their arrogance and greed, so it was hard for them to apologize.
And Theo wouldn't forgive them that easily either.
However, that last sturdy wall that stopped them from apologizing to Theo collapsed a week after the training camp ended.
In Kansas, specifically inside the courtyard of an expert known as Ediva, a cocoon made of brown light appeared, illuminating the courtyard. It startled all experts around that courtyard to the point they couldn't help but take a peek.
They didn't know what happened and they didn't dare to enter the courtyard since Ediva was the strongest expert in the St. Adalva Group.
But everything changed when they started seeing brown colored Magic Power from her courtyard.
Without hesitation, the boss of the St. Adalva Group entered the courtyard and checked what was going on, finding an elderly woman lying inside a brown cocoon.
"This is…" The leader gulped down and couldn't help but remember what Theo had said in his last speech before the training camp was over.
"I have seen a lot of people here. And I could say that a lot of you have the potential. I've seen people that are close to that level, I've found a few people who have found their right path… I won't tell you who they are.
"It might be you, it might be someone else. Without these names, I want you to continue striving forward. Make it so that you are among the people I talked about." Theo said those words out of fact. But he didn't tell the names so that they would think they were the ones in Theo's mouth.
This way, Theo kept their morale and determination high.
And he, the leader of the St. Adalva Group, seemed to be not one of them. Instead, it was the person that came with him to the training camp.
He approached the woman carefully, waiting for the brown light to dim down and eventually disappear.
Before the woman fell down, he caught her in his arms and smiled, looking at the woman's face.
He was startled because it wasn't the face he remembered. Some wrinkles had gone and the face regained its energy, making her look ten to twenty years younger.
'Is it because of this baptism that my mother's lifespan increased? She seems to be younger.' He thought. 'Either way, I know that she has reached the next stage, becoming another Transcendent Level Expert in the base.
Although her strength wouldn't be as strong as other Transcendent Level Experts, it still put her far above the normal Mythical Rank Experts.
"Congratulations on your advancement, Mother. It seems that I have to thank Theodore Griffith since, because of his special lesson, my mother can become a Transcendent Level Expert."
He smiled. His St. Adalva Group had been supporting Theo as well. They were not a corporation but an academic group. Theo was a good student and teacher, so they always wanted to get Theo's support. Hence, they had been supporting Theo the whole time.
It seemed that Theo had repaid them beyond what they had done for him.
"In the upcoming battle, I swear that I shall lead the people in front. Such a genius has to survive… The world might progress extremely fast with him at the lead."
He smiled. This was the second Transcendent Level Expert that broke through with the help of Theo's lesson. And he was planning to spread the information so that the government would fear Theo.
Though, the excitement didn't last long. Nella had come to Theo's house with a serious expression.
In front of Theo and Agata, she said, "They have left their nest!"
