"I'm not sure about the way to get stronger either, but I still want to follow Theo. After all, he has been predicting everything correctly and taking part in those situations. So, I'll continue to believe him.

"I don't know what you want to say or believe, but I have to ask you to see the bigger picture.

"I won't talk on behalf of Theo since even I don't know about his scheme, but it's clear that there is a huge threat coming to this base. So, I hope that you can see this with a calm mind."

".." The three Transcendent Level Experts looked at each other as if trying to figure out the situation.

On the one hand, they understood what Maya was talking about and could see the concern happening soon. On the other hand, they only had Order, not Authority. They didn't know much about what was beyond that level.

They had seen Saints and Kings, so it was obvious that they seemed to be lacking some insight and information to predict the future.

And now, Theo had seen something beyond their knowledge and tried to solve it by giving this training camp.

At this point, the three Transcendent Level Experts couldn't say anything since it was already beyond their reach. If a Saint wanted to do it that way, it might be the true path.

So, they stopped rebuking Maya's statement.

As soon as she saw the change in their expressions, Maya immediately added, "I'm sure that you are already aware of what's going to happen in the future. However, there will be no future if we allow the monsters to crush us.

"This is just the start, everyone." Maya showed an image of the map, showing the slime and the base's locations. "Take a look at this. Currently, the slime is sending its armies against us."

A few human faces appeared on the screen and started moving toward the base in all directions.

"We're assuming that they're going to appear alongside monsters and sneak in as a human.

"This is the video.." Maya showed them the video where Theo lost against the slime. It showed their power, which managed to overwhelm Theo.

This was the first time they saw Theo losing this badly. They couldn't help but suck a cold breath.

This enemy was beyond what they had faced in the past.

"Is that real.." The three Transcendent Level Experts gasped. "Are we going to fight that slime?"

"Yes." Maya nodded.

"Shouldn't we call the Time God to the meeting?" One of the government agents asked. Although they had been weakened, they still had a considerable amount of power due to the Time God and their nuke.

"No, no. Shouldn't we nuke them? We know their location, so we should strike first."

Maya shook her head. "No. We can't nuke them, or at least that slime. That slime is born from contaminated water. And that is not limited to chemicals.."

"Not limited to chemicals.." They frowned, wondering what liquid was more potent than chemicals.

Some of them had realized what Maya wanted to say and gasped. "Don't tell me.. the water is contaminated by radiation?"

"Yes," Maya confirmed without hesitation. "That's why sending a nuke to this slime will only make it stronger. Theo has been given a vision.. I don't know if this is correct or not, but according to him, the slime managed to defeat several King Class Monsters and sealed one World Class Monster when it just became a King Class Slime.

"Now that it had fully grown to a World Class Monster, its strength was beyond our imagination. And if we take a look at how he makes his army, I'm afraid that there will be more enemies with stronger abilities like those explosive humans.

"After all, we don't know the number of World Class and King Class Monsters he has absorbed.

"Hence, we need all your abilities. They might be born from the World Class Monsters or King Class Monsters, but their strength was only a fraction of the original owner's power. So, we have a chance.

"We would like you to spread out and stop any monsters from coming into the base. We'll thin out their number and weaken the enemy's force. And we need your full cooperation for this.

"After we defeat them, we'll fight against the slime. Theo already has the plan to handle the slime and that's probably why he is away right now. I believe that Theo will come back once we're fighting these monsters. After all, Agata, his fiancee, is still in this base.

"After all this is over, Theo will be holding a training camp for your experts so that the future generations can continue to prosper. What do you think?"

The people fell silent. They didn't like how Rea oppressed them, but it was true that the situation was beyond their abilities. If they lost this fight and retreated, the slime might be able to continue creating his army and getting stronger.

In other words, if they were defeated here, there was no second chance. It was basically impossible to defeat the slime after that. And who knew what would happen next?

The King of Fighters narrowed his eyes, glaring at Rea. "I don't mind participating, but I have a condition."

"A condition?"

The King of Fighters pointed at Rea and declared out loud. "As long as she is not the one commanding us, I'll fight."

"!!!"

The statement surprised most people. However, they had to agree that they didn't like Rea's guts. They almost forgot that when Theo dealt with the situation, he never appeared like a tyrant. In other words, everything that happened earlier came from Rea.

"I'll fight as long as she is not the one commanding us!" Another person raised his hand, agreeing with the King of Fighters.

And as one would expect, more and more people spoke up, demanding Rea to not be their leader.

"!!!" Maya widened her eyes in shock, realizing something. These people didn't know that the leader of this operation was Felix. They thought Rea was the leader since she was one during the battle against the sea race.

In other words, Rea's true intention in threatening them was to make them unite. That was right, she almost forgot about one fact. People tended to unite when they met a common enemy.

So, Rea actually tricked all of them so that they could unite under one banner.

Rea had an ashamed and unwilling expression, but inwardly, she was smiling as everything went according to her plan, a plan befitting her identity as Theo's disciple.
