Chapter 1889 Persuading The Space Saint
While they were preparing for the incoming invasion, Theo had finally finished recovering a portion of his energy.
Even the Space Saint had been calling him for a while.
"Are you done?" The Space Saint asked again, staring at the wall as if trying to see through it to check Theo's condition.
After finishing all his matters and regaining his clone, Theo finally waved his hand, removing the walls.
"I'm done. Thank you for waiting," said Theo with a calm tone. He also looked around to see their current situation.
There seemed to be a few monsters that didn't have enough intelligence to attack them. But everyone had been crushed by the Space Saint.
After that, Theo looked at the Space Saint, knowing that he might be as strong as him at his peak. Although he didn't know whether the Space Saint was the third World Class Monster that ruled the area or not, it was clear that he would have died if the Space Saint had wanted to attack him earlier.
Theo paused for a moment before asking, "What do you want from me?"
"It seems that small talk doesn't work for you. Hence, I'm going to cut to the chase as well.
"I know that you are the Reality Saint. I have been observing this world and not long ago, the world had a crack that had to be repaired.
"I've tried to use my power to close the crack, but my power is not compatible. That's when I knew if I wanted to fix it, I had to meet the Reality Saint.
"I have been trying a lot of things to meet you, but it seems this is the best time. As you can see, I'm a Space Saint. I don't have problems coming to your base.
"It's just.. you have a lot of things to deal with simply because you're a human. So, I waited for you until you completed your work.
"And this was the perfect time for our meeting." The Space Saint pointed upward as if he was trying to point at the world itself. "I need your help in order to solve the problem. Will you lend me a hand to repair the crack?"
Theo narrowed his eyes. On the one hand, the crack was indeed a problem. On the other hand, this crack was used as a deterrent to higher beings' involvement.
Hence, Theo couldn't really repair the reality, at least, for the time being. Though, Theo knew that the Space Saint would be angry if he refused right away.
So, Theo paused for a while as if he was falling into deep thought. The Space Saint seemed to be waiting for his answer patiently, thinking Theo might not have the ability yet.
It would be resolved easily if Theo could simply say he needed time because he didn't have the ability to do it yet. But Theo couldn't lie. This was one of the biggest drawbacks of his power.
So, he ended up asking, "What if I don't want to repair it?"
"Hmm?" The Space Saint frowned, observing Theo's expression. "You don't want to repair it? You, the Reality Saint, should know about what's going to happen if this reality collapses, right?"
"That's not the problem. If you have visited the US Base, then you should know about the current enemy that we have to defeat. If we can't defeat him, we won't be able to escape death.
"Instead of repairing the reality, it's better if you go with me and handle him. After this war is over, I'll be repairing everything that needs to be fixed. How's that?"

Theo gave options to the Space Saint.
But they weren't accepted by the Space Saint very well. His expression was grim and there was even a tinge of anger reflected in his eyes. He was disappointed that Theo didn't want to do it even though he was the only one who could do it.
"You don't want to repair it?" The Space Saint asked, glaring at Theo.
"I want to, but not right now." Theo shook his head, correcting his words.
"The reality might shatter tomorrow. No one knows."
"I'm even more confused as to how much you know about Reality. No one knows? Who says that? The current situation is not that severe. So, it's still salvageable." Theo waved his hand, denying that possibility from his knowledge and experience.
The Space Saint didn't like the answer. He wasn't that adept in Reality, so he didn't know the extent of the damage.
He only wanted that everything was restored to normal so that they could live normally again.
That was why he had to make sure whether Theo was determined or not.
"Are you sure you don't want to fix this?" The Space Saint asked once again, trying to confirm his suspicion.
"I might consider it, but I have to know more about your power. After all, your power might be related and can help me fix it.. It's just.." Theo smiled while raising his head. "I have the right to choose, right?"
"You are threading in a dangerous zone, Reality Saint. Don't forget that this is in your jurisdiction and if you plan to destroy reality, you're breaking the Order."
"No. I'm not planning to destroy the Order. Instead, I want to maintain the current situation and fix it when the time is right. This is what I deem to be the best option as the Reality Saint." Theo shook his head.
The Space Saint gritted his teeth as if he wanted to fight Theo. He obviously wanted to kill Theo right now and let reality fix itself within a hundred years or so.
But if he did it, it would be better to agree with Theo's decision since the reality would be fixed sooner.
Still, fighting against a monster, especially a World Class Monster like him, wasn't something he wished to do. Theo might even want to take advantage of this agreement to enslave him for a while.
That was why the Space Saint couldn't agree immediately.
