BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1847 Nuke
"…" Both Lyrventh and Lydia were completely confused about their discussion. Even if they listened to everything, they didn't know anything about singularity rank. They couldn't even fathom Theo and Loki's strength.
So, they ended up clueless all this time. They had nothing to do other than wait for the two to finish their discussion.
Still, they did hear that Theo would be leaving them in Loki's hands so that he could bring them to a certain place.
Although Theo looked like he abandoned them, his relationship with Loki didn't seem shallow. This decision must have been considered carefully.
Meanwhile, Loki asked, "So, what do you think about the enemy this time?"
"I think I should be the one asking you that." Theo shook his head helplessly. "In fact, I'm just afraid that your existence will cause another disruption in this reality, causing the enemy to become even stronger.
"I can't even infiltrate their base, let alone measure their strength… That's why I'm a bit scared."
"Fear of the unknown, huh?" Loki understood it very well. When they knew about the other party's information, they expected what the target would do to a certain extent.
But it would be a different case if there was a completely unknown opponent. This unknown opponent might have prepared a big plan that would destroy them.
That was why Theo had to be extra careful.
Loki had a few plans in mind, but not a single of them suited the current Theo. So, he asked one more question to check his condition. "How many enemies do you expect to fight? How many allies do you expect to come?"
Theo looked down. "On my side, there are you, Hel, two Saints from United Asia, and me. On their side, the main enemy, my grandfather, the original me, and the Fist Saint. I don't expect the Daemon and the Ice Witch to come, considering they have to stay to protect their base from any potential attacks.
"The same applies to the Time God. The government is extremely paranoid right now and can't be trusted, so I don't expect anything from them. It looks like we're in an equal position without you, but I'm afraid that with you being there, the enemy will be far stronger than we originally expected.
"Still, the monster itself can fight against me and some Saints. So, I'm preparing a lot of things, including my clone.
"As for the Kings and Queens, I don't know about them, but I should be able to gather ten Kings and Queens to help us. The main battle will be for the Saints, so I only expect them to keep the balance.
"That includes all the normal people below them. Still, I don't know what their plan is, especially with the spies around.
"I have been trying to make the spy look like he's a double agent to lose their trust, but I don't know about the situation. Now that I think about it, I don't know if the spy that contacted the sea race and the one helping the slimy monster are the same or not.
"That's the current situation, I guess," Theo explained the whole situation without hiding anything.
Loki looked down as he also thought they still didn't have enough power to go against the current enemy. Still, he understood why they couldn't muster all the strength due to the human civilization needing some protection.
"If that's the case, what do you think about using the monsters to help you?"
"I want to do that, but it's close to impossible to ask for their help." Theo shook his head helplessly. Although the chance wasn't zero, he didn't have high hopes for this scenario. "Instead, I should be asking you. Can you contribute something?"
"I think my existence alone is already a huge contribution. But well, it doesn't really matter right now since the enemy this time is beyond our imagination. Even I don't have the confidence to win. But…" Loki paused for a moment and asked, "What is your goal? Not the goal of this battle, but your ultimate goal?"
Theo smirked. "Of course, it hasn't changed yet. I'm going to get my freedom. I haven't forgotten my promise to you as well, so you don't have to worry about it.
"Though, now that I have this artifact along with the newfound strength, I think I have a better shot. I have prepared some secret weapons as well, so I'm not planning to lose." Theo shrugged.
Loki nodded in understanding. "It's fine. I know that you will do well. If only you had ten more years, you would be able to solve all these problems with ease. Unfortunately, it seems that those bastards' manipulations have caused the entire thing to speed up.
"I still haven't found their trace yet, but it seems I'm going to find them in this last battle."
"I have seen their interference though," Theo replied with a poker face as if he wasn't excited about their encounter like Loki.
"Huh? Seriously?"
"Yeah." Theo nodded. "I can't really explain it yet, but it seems they're bound by rules as well. Causing too much disruption will make the entire reality unstable. Hence, from the looks of it, they can't really intervene too much unless every condition has been met. That's why I can focus on the enemy right now and not fix the barrier.
"This way, those higher beings won't be able to cause any more interference… Even if they do, it won't be something big." Theo explained his encounter with the magma dragon back then.
Loki closed his eyes for a moment and finally revealed a secret, "Since you have encountered them, I guess it's time to tell you the last truth."
"Huh? That conversation earlier wasn't about the third one?" Theo tilted his head in confusion.
"Of course not." Loki smirked playfully as if he had a huge surprise for him. "Though, I was planning to keep this a secret earlier."
Theo's expression turned serious since whenever Loki was this playful, he would be dropping a huge bomb.
And that was when Loki surpassed his expectation and dropped a nuke. "You're actually… a twin."
"What the—"
