Three months later.

"Come on!" A woman in her late twenties waved her hand while energetically running to a shop.

"Wait for me." The guy chased after her, but the moment he reached her, he started panting. It was clear that he couldn't keep up with her pace.

"What are you doing? You're so slow. It's because you have never left your laboratory!" The woman pouted.

"I mean, the new world needs me. I have to continue working on my research so that people can get stronger."

"You're too serious, Isaac."

"No, no. You should be the one who needs to consider this seriously, Levina."

Yes, the two of them were Isaac and Levina. They had run for a few hundred miles on an errand.

"Still, the big day is tomorrow, huh?" Isaac couldn't help but smile, looking at the statue in front of him.

"Yeah." Levina nodded. "He will definitely return, right?"

"Of course. He always fulfilled his promise." Isaac smiled while raising his head and looking at the statue that the government had erected. That statue belonged to none other than Theodore Griffith. He gallantly led the entire troop to repel the slime that wanted to destroy the world and sacrificed his life in order to defeat the slime.

It had a good public image. People treated Theo like a hero, but they knew that the government only did it because they had finally taken back control over the base from Theo.

"Theo has become the world's hero. Rea grows to be a capable leader. Maya has reached the peak of the business world, with no one coming close. The others have also grown exponentially.. I can't really lose to them!" Isaac clenched his fists, determined to work harder so that he wasn't left behind.

Levina couldn't help but smile after looking at his determination.

"Well, we have seen it, so it's time for us to return. We're on an errand, you know." Levina raised the bag in her right hand while winking playfully.

"How about we wait for a bit more? No, how about using public transportation?" The determination from before was gone as he started making an awkward smile.

Levina thought for a moment before sticking out her tongue. "Nope!"

Without hesitation, she rushed back at full speed. Isaac could only shake his head helplessly before chasing after her. "Wait for me."

..

A few hours later.

"Here you go!" Levina handed the bag to Coline.

"Oh! Thank you!" Coline smiled at Levina before glancing at Isaac, who was lying down on the ground with his face touching the ground. She thought, 'Is he dead?'

"How about Agata?" Levina asked.

"She is testing the gown for tomorrow."

"Oh!" Levina raised her eyebrows before rushing to the grand hall, finding a few women gathered in the side room. She took a peek at the inside and suddenly froze.

In the center of the room stood Agata, the woman known to be the world's most beautiful woman. Agata was wearing a gown that seemed to have been crafted perfectly for her grace and elegance, making her beauty transcend.

The dress shimmered with the brilliance of a thousand small crystals. Their glow made them look like a thousand stars in the sky.

The gown was truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Flowers and vines were embroidered delicately on the side.

The dress that made Agata appear like a fairy who had descended to this mortal world had already mesmerized her without her being aware of it.

She couldn't help but smile and quietly close the door, allowing them to prepare for the event tomorrow.

"Well, it's going to be dark soon." She smiled playfully and came out, finding Nella, who was entering the hall.

"Levina? What are you doing here?" Nella tilted her head in confusion.

"I took a peek at the changing room. I feel like Theo is blessed by Heaven." Levina chuckled.

"Is that so? Well, I kind of feel that's true." Nella giggled.

"By the way, have all of them arrived?"

"Yeah. We're going to get busy tomorrow." Nella looked at the hall, which had been decorated perfectly for the wedding. "How about you help too?"

"Nah, I have to take care of Isaac. I have dragged him a bit too fast after all." Levina looked away while giving an awkward smile.

"Is that so? Well, good night, then. Isaac is surely lucky to have you."

They waved their hands at each other as they headed to the place where they needed to be.

..

The next day.

Finally, the promised day had arrived. The wedding of the century was held.

The event might not have been big and invited thousands of people, but every single person who came here was a famous powerhouse.

On one side, the family of the groom and bride lined up. There were Ray, Valerie, Lorenzo, Leonardo, and Nella as the groom's representatives. The entire Mota Family also came as the bride's representatives.

Behind them were the people who were close to the groom. There were Jeff and the others, including Maya and Rea.

Meanwhile, the other side was filled with their acquaintances, like Heavenly Sovreign, Feng Hao. There were also a lot of prominent families that had a Transcendent Level Expert to lead them. All of them were anticipating the appearance of the man who had disappeared for a few months.

However, it seemed that they forgot about him for a moment as their eyes were glued on the bride, who had stood in front of the podium. And surprisingly, the one who led the entire procession was the man known as the pope. He had retired after the last war, and he ended up in a wheelchair. But he seemed to be still energetic as he smiled at the bride as if thanking her for inviting him to this marriage ceremony.

All of a sudden, the double gate leading to the hall slammed open.historical

*Bam!*

"!!!" Everyone was startled and turned around, thinking the groom had finally arrived.

Yet, they were surprised by the sudden appearance of a monster.

"Monsters?" The people suddenly stood up, ready to kill the monsters.

But surprisingly, the monster didn't do anything other than open the gate. Instead, he stepped back, revealing what happened outside.

More and more monsters appeared out of nowhere, as though they had been teleported to this place.

They all let out a roar to the sky like a trumpet, which started the procession.

There were thousands of monsters outside, and they all roared as though they were celebrating this marriage.

Agata couldn't help but smile when she saw all this. "Seriously.. He overdid it again."

Suddenly, two people appeared out of thin air. The first one was a black-haired man who wore ragged clothes. He seemed dirty, but the second man was worse. His body might not be covered with wounds, but he should wash himself if he wants to do anything.

Yet, the two men didn't flinch. With a single flick of their fingers, they completely changed.

Their hair became neat and tidy, their bodies were clean, and their clothes had changed.

The blue-haired man was wearing a white tuxedo as he walked into the grand hall. The black-haired man smiled as he accompanied him. If the bride was accompanied by her father, then the groom was accompanied by a father-like figure.

As he walked, he couldn't help but say with a smile, "I'm back."

After a long-standing battle, the man, who was known to be the strongest in the world, Theodore Griffith, had returned.
