"Exactly so." Theo smirked.
The War Saint's expression turned grim. "I haven't asked you about this, but how many people at your level are going to fight from both sides?"
The War Saint asked for both sides because he knew what kind of terrifying being the slime was. He had to be careful and consider their side as well.
Theo nodded. "I don't know if you are already aware of this or not, but there are three parties that will join the war this time."
"I know. We, the slime, and the old Griffith Family." Leonardo nodded in understanding as if he had known this much.
But when he mentioned the old Griffith Family, all their eyes were locked on the new Griffith Family, specifically Valerie and Ray.
Although they knew that the old and new Griffith Families were enemies, it didn't change the fact that they were the 'Griffith' Family.
"There is a reason why I'm giving them an opportunity to use the airplane to reach this base. I'm sure they are already here and currently hiding somewhere. But they won't be making their moves just yet.
"They will be focusing on me because I'm currently the biggest threat to them. Instead of letting them run rampant in other places, it's better to bring them here and solve the problem once and for all."
Hearing the explanation, Leonardo sighed and agreed with him. "I guess it's better than to let them attack the union."
"Yeah. From their sides, there should be three people we should prioritize. The first one would be the other me, who has the Devouring Power. The second one would be my grandfather, the Magic Saint. And the last one is none other than the Fist Saint. He should be trying to kill me as well after that grudge."
The Heavenly Sovereign couldn't help but tease him, "Don't you think this battle will become easier if you don't make them your enemy?"
Theo had expected this kind of question, so he replied with an answer he had prepared before. The answer came in the form of a question. "Don't you think you are lucky that I'm on your side and not theirs?"
"…" The Heavenly Sovereign couldn't say anything after that. As he said, if Theo didn't make them his enemy, it meant he would lose to them. If they were on their side, there was no telling whether humanity could survive or not.
And everyone acknowledged the fact that despite the Heavenly Sovereign holding the second rank as the strongest person in the world, Theo would be a bigger headache to deal with.
When they weighed Theo and the Old Griffith Family, they still believed Theo was much heavier than those three.
Theo raised his finger. "There is something we shouldn't forget. Their aim is me. They want to kill me and reinstate the previous Griffith Family so that they can rule the world. They obviously don't want humanity to lose."
"Are you saying you can turn them into our allies?"
"Of course not." Theo chuckled. "I'm just telling you that they might be our enemies, but they will surely not cooperate with the slime. This means there remain three sides for the rest of the battle, which is a big advantage for us. Although the other me is not as good as me in terms of planning, it doesn't change the fact that we are still the same person. It will be more troublesome if the other me creates a plan for the slime, don't you think so?"
They couldn't help but agree with Theo's explanation.
Seeing there was no more objection, Theo continued with his explanation. "Hence, the first side will have three… I'm just going to call them Saints at this point. On the other hand, the slime's side will have the slime itself along with multiple World Class Monsters.
"I don't know their exact number, but the slime itself can be counted as four or five Saints on our side easily. So, we should expect another three World Class Monsters at the very least."
"Hmm? So, three Saints from the Griffith Family and eight Saints from the slime… This is tricky. Do we have those many saints on our side?" Leonardo frowned while glancing at the Heavenly Sovereign.
"I don't know. Though, I don't think we're lacking, right?" The Heavenly Sovereign shrugged before pushing the question to Theo.
"Yes. Since the Griffith Family is aiming for me, I and my clone will handle the other me and my grandfather. You can say that this is the Griffith Family's matter, so it's better if I destroy the Griffith Family that has been plaguing my life this whole time." Theo stopped for a moment to see if there was someone who wanted to fight them.
But it seemed that they didn't want to get involved in this matter. Even Ray could only agree to this solution since he wasn't strong enough to handle those two.
"As for the Fist Saint, I'm going to leave it in your hand, Sword Saint."
"I'm going to fight the muscle brain, huh. Sure, that's fine." The Sword Saint nodded.
Theo then pointed at the Heavenly Sovereign, "You are going to handle the slime."
"Sure. Though, with who?" The Heavenly Sovereign smirked, feeling excited that he was going to fight the strongest foe.
"Obviously, the Time God has to remain inside the base for the time being until we have cleared the spies. So, the Time God will fight with you after some time. But before that, you will be accompanied by the God of Mischief."
"!!!" The Heavenly Sovereign widened his eyes while the rest was confused. They must have misheard Theo.
Seeing their shocked faces, Theo confirmed it. "Do you think I'm the only one pulling the strings?"
The Heavenly Sovereign had expected this, but he never thought the God of Mischief surpassed his imagination. "He is still alive?"
"From what I know, there are two people who survived that incident."
"Let me guess, the mastermind and the one who guides the soul after everyone dies…"
"Exactly." Theo smiled while giving a big invitation to the Heavenly Sovereign. "I'm going to let you meet him after he reaches this place. Those two and the Time God, do you think you are still at a disadvantage against the slime?"
"You know how to make me excited, ain't you?!" The Heavenly Sovereign smirked.
