Chapter 97: New Enemies?
“We discovered a creature that can even control Reality,” he stated with a tired sigh. “A grotesque Creature, it could turn into anything, plus its power was terrifying. Any normal Grand Master would have died fighting that monster.”
Theos frowned. His father’s words, if everything he said was true, that meant that such a creature would be at a Peak Grand Master or Expert level.
However, besides that, Theos had an unsettling feeling, a very bad feeling, as if that creature was more than it appeared to be.
“Father, you said that monster controlled Reality, didn’t you? In what way specifically did it control it? What did it do?” he asked.
Matheo was slightly surprised by the barrage of questions but chose to answer quickly. “That Creature could control reality in a way that it could create portals, like some kind of black hole that could suck everything in. And as if that wasn’t hard enough to beat, it could also change the combat territory; sometimes it snowed, sometimes it was the desert itself, and it even once sent us into the depths of the ocean…”
Matheo’s explanation made his son gradually deepen his frown more and more. ‘What’s going on? He had never heard of such a creature… Or seen or anything; it’s not normal that something so strong and terrifying was dismissed just like that.
Now Theos’ bad feeling was starting to make more and more sense, once a suspicion, now a rather strong belief.
“And how did they defeat it? Something like that, so strong… It could easily be stronger than a Lost Monster; it could even make it to Void Monster,” Theos commented, roughly calculating the Creature’s combat power.
Matheo also had his doubts about it. “Hm, even though that being was quite powerful, it’s only his skills; his body didn’t even seem to be buffed when we arrived; physical blows were what hurt him the most, so after creating a brief strategy, with my strength I crushed him in one go.”
“Still, just with the Creature’s abilities alone, it could easily kill several Lost Monsters, but I don’t think it’s stronger than a Void Monster.”
Matheo’s every word was a piece of valuable information that Theos saved one by one. Why not accumulate information about the only enemy you know absolutely nothing about? He didn’t even know what such a monster looked like.
But if there was one thing he was sure of, it was that they were not like the usual Monsters; according to Matheo’s explanation, the creature itself was a being quite intelligent and powerful in abilities but fragile physically.
“So, basically, it has a higher level of strength than the Lost Monsters, but is inferior to a Void Monster? A middle ground…”, Theos said, stroking his chin with his hand.
Matheo nodded on the other end of the phone. “That’s right, it was hard to defeat it. But that’s not the most shocking thing we found,” he stated.
“…”, Theos was speechless, isn’t that the most important thing? Finding a creature that no one has seen much more powerful than a Lost Monster isn’t shocking enough?
At this point, Theos expected the worst.
But even preparing for the worst he couldn’t think of Matheo’s next statement:
“Thanks to some of our subordinates we were able to discover a basement that was near the room where we found that Creature. In the basement… There were several capsules, each containing the same creatures; several even seemed to be even more powerful than the creature we faced…” Giving pause, Matheo sighed.
“Being honest, even I, your father, one of the strongest in the world, can’t against all those creatures together if they will ever wake up.”
“How we didn’t know how to deactivate those capsules because there wasn’t a single button. Several people are afraid to try to deactivate the capsules by wires; one single mistake and they can, at best, open one capsule, and at worst… All the capsules in that basement.”
Every word Matheo said was one bombshell after another to Theos’ mind.
Not only because of the power of each Creature whose name is not yet known, but because of the quantity, and apparently, they have had that prepared a long, long time ago.
But, if that is so and Theos went there to finish with the remains of the sect, why didn’t anyone wake up those creatures? Not only that but there was a curse there.
A curse on a cult that shouldn’t have it, and now, some unidentifiable but super-powerful creatures.
Theos’ eyes grew colder and colder, looking like a block of ice. What is the top suspect in this case? The only link the Dead Eaters Sect has.
The Church.
The suspicion of Theos was not only there for that simple reason, but knowing from the novel, the depth and superiority that the Church has over other organizations or huge companies.
However, they have it well hidden from the public eye.
Theos had planned not to go to the Church until he was truly prepared, the danger of the Church is at an incalculable level if they become suspicious of him. So he had to be careful and prepared.
But all these problems together, a big organization that is possibly behind all these actions. Would he stand by and watch The Church carry out all his plans one by one? No… It wasn’t his style at all.
He was going to go there as soon as possible!
Even though he didn’t have the strength to destroy The Church currently, why do something so big now? He just had to get information.
A single clue of information could give him a great advantage in the future, and a lot of information could give him an impenetrable defense and a destructive attack.
That’s how important information is.
Making a decision, Theos’ cool expression turned colder, but a glint of emotion and amusement in his eyes revealed his true emotions.
“Father, I’m going to the church…”
