Chapter 1533 The Top

"The union between humans and monsters."

This ambition was big because it was impossible for humans and monsters to join hands. The monsters would fight with their instinct, so most of them wouldn't become their friends. But the General Class Monsters had enough intelligence to connect to them, so it wasn't impossible.

Knowing Theo, he must have some plans for this relationship, so they might be able to go hand in hand with them. However, it was impossible for the entire humanity to do that. It was only possible for their group.

"I can kinda understand what you have in mind, though I don't know if it will work or not. But I'm sure that you have some idea in mind, so we can take a look at it later." Rea explained.

"Yeah. Then the next thing will be about the threat from the east. You all should know about Chernobyl, right?"

"One of the worst nuclear disasters, yes."

"The monsters are living there and starting to mutate. These mutated monsters are stronger and more ferocious than normal monsters. I have seen a King Class mutated monster that can defeat multiple normal King Class Monsters. Imagine if there was a World Class mutated monster.."

Everyone widened their eyes in shock. It turned out the apocalypse wasn't the only thing they had to worry about. The humans had turned the Earth almost inhabitable in the past and with the help of the apocalypse, it was going to bite back. In other words, this was a man-made disaster.

Rea, as Theo's assistant, noticed something. "Is that why you're strengthening us by upgrading our skills?"

"Yes. I don't know what will happen in the future, so I'm preparing all of you."

"You still want to help humanity even though they have abandoned you after seeing a single video?"

Theo shrugged. "My goal is beyond your understanding."

Theo didn't lie here. No one would even think about the being in the higher dimension that had been controlling them this whole time. Theo had been trying to fight them this whole time, but he didn't know whether it had any impact or not.

Even so, he was planning to continue his resistance until he could reach the higher dimension.

So, his goal was truly beyond anyone's understanding except Loki.

"Anyway, that's my plan. I don't know if you will agree or not." Theo sighed. He knew that everyone was skeptical since they didn't hesitate to throw him away without Theo being able to prove himself.

They didn't mind living together with humans again, but they preferred to stay in the US Base or United Asia, not the union.historical

"Well, if you plan that way, we'll follow you." Rea sighed.

"Alright. Thanks." Theo nodded and took out his Skylink. "Anyway, this is everything I've gotten from the union. I'm sure you can understand what I did there with all this information."

"Hoho, this is getting interesting." Akbar licked his lips, excited to see what happened.

Before they looked at the record, Theo upgraded their skills since he had an important thing to do after this.

Of course, everyone was surprised by the change in their skills. This was the first time they saw this kind of overpowered ability.

Theo really looked like a treasure chest. He was mysterious but gave them huge anticipation because the secret hidden in him might be more amazing than they imagined.

After upgrading their skills, Theo dismissed everyone so that they could go back to their jobs.

Of course, Theo told Rea to stay since she was his assistant and had to know what he was planning to do.

"Rea. It seems that you've gotten used to leading everyone."

"In your stead. That's the most important. Without your identity, it's impossible to lead them." Rea denied it humbly.

"You're more capable than you think you are. Don't think too much about your past."

"Mhm. Thank you for teaching me all this. I'm truly indebted to you for allowing me to break through from my past stigma."

"Hence, I'm going to give you a big task."

"A big task? You sure know how to put pressure on me.." Rea chuckled.

Theo paused for a moment because this was an important matter for him. Seeing his serious expression, Rea stopped laughing and looked into his eyes, ready to receive the task.

"I'm going into seclusion soon."

"Seclusion? Are you going to meditate or something?"

"Something like that." Theo nodded.

"For how long? We can't really have you missing for a long time."

"I'll try to go out once a month. But if I want to go as quickly as possible, I have to focus on this." Theo sighed. "I don't know how long it will take. From my rough calculation, I feel like I'll need at least a year."

"A year?! Are you serious?" One year was long for a human, especially in this apocalypse. There would be a huge change within a year, so she was surprised that Theo wanted to go into seclusion for this long.

Even Rea was worried because she didn't know what would happen in the next one year. "I'm trying to progress as quickly as possible by utilizing my clone since it's a kind of having two brains. Well, it's hard to explain, but you get the idea."

"By the way, why do you want to go into seclusion? At least tell me the reason so that I can calm the others. We also have to consider the future development." Rea let out a long sigh, feeling a headache ahead. She could control everything within a few months, but if it was longer than a year, Rea didn't feel confident in leading the group. The others would also feel down.

"The reason, huh.." Theo scratched the back of his head since the reason was hard to explain. "The top."

"The top?" Rea tilted her head in confusion. She then waved her hand as if creating a box that emphasized her body. "You mean this kind of top?"

"No. The top ranking."

"The top ranking, You mean top ten rankings?"

"Yeah. This time, the hurdle is far bigger than I originally thought, so I have to go into seclusion for at least a year. I'm going to tackle the hurdle that separates the top ten experts from the top one hundred experts."

"!!!" Rea widened her eyes. "You mean.."

"Yeah. It's time for me to aim for the number one spot." Theo nodded.
