The World Tree had just realized all the information about Theo still couldn't explain everything about him. It thought Theo was protecting humanity no matter how they hurt him, but it turned out Theo simply didn't care much about humanity as a whole.
He would protect them, but he would also use them like tools.
After thirty minutes of fighting him, the World Tree had suffered so injuries. Five of its roots had been cut and a portion of its branches had fallen down.
Of course, Theo's condition wasn't that good either. There were a few grazes on his skin and one hole on his arm. In addition, Theo had exhausted so of his Magic Power.
Though, with the current situation, it was clear that Theo was at an advantage.
Not only did he get supported by another Authority Level Figure, but the King of Fighters had also co to the battlefield to take care of him.
Unbeknownst to them, the King of Fighters was glancing at Theo and the World Tree from ti to ti as if observing them.
The King of Fighters couldn't help but recall the day he received a certain instruction from the anonymous mail.
This ti, the mail didn't give him any information regarding the hidden spies. Instead, it implied that the Vice President was trying to attack the base with the help of this race.
And because of the grudge between the military and the Star Group, they would be attacked in this battle.
Hence, the King of Fighters had to go to this place to bring down a King Class Monster to get enough evidence to prosecute the Vice President.
There were a few things to consider before he made a decision. On the one hand, he had a deep grudge against the Vice President to the point he prepared to put down all the matters to prosecute him. On the other hand, coming to this battle would an helping Theo.
The King of Fighters was completely unable to choose at that ti since he hated both of them. But soon, he realized everything.
The conflict between his Salvatore Family and the Star Group ca directly from Theo. It only had one purpose: to chase after the hidden spies.
In other words, Theo had pushed him into the corner so that no one paid attention to him anymore. And after capturing the Vice President, it would be ti for him to fight against the monsters backing the Vice President to prove his innocence.
Hence, the King of Fighters didn't have any choice anymore. If he didn't fight, his family would start to decline and his reputation wouldn't be restored. If he went according to the plan, he would be playing in Theo's hand, but he could reinstate the prestige of the Salvatore Family.
Theo simply forced him to accept the latter. That was why he ca here.
"Kh." The King of Fighters gritted his teeth but still fought against this King Class Monster. He could only leave after killing this King Class Monster.
Still, his absence created a huge confusion among the people, especially from the governnt.
"What? The King of Fighters was fighting on Theo's battlefield? How is this possible? Why is he supporting Theodore Griffith? Shouldn't he hate him?!" The President gritted his teeth, slamming the table. "Hurry up and recall him."
"I believe it's not possible, Sir. The King of Fighters is currently fighting against a King Class Monster. If he retreats because of our call, it ans we're abandoning the soldiers and the citizens. Even if we can achieve so result, we'll end up in a worse position than the union.
"So, the King of Fighters can only retreat if he has killed the enemy."
"…" The President gnashed his teeth. "We've been had. He has predicted this situation. With only two Transcendent Level Experts, we don't have enough strength to capture them. How is the broadcast? We have to show the people they have committed cris."
"That's… the people's opinions are diverted. Only a small portion is supporting us in capturing them. The rest are flaming us because those turrets are the support for the battlefield."
"Then, what's the situation of his fiancee?"
"The Ti God has gone there, but he hasn't found any trace of his territory. At the sa ti, he believes that his fiancee has gone to his parents. With the help of the Griffith Family, there is no way the Ti God could track them."
"Kh. Useless. All of you are useless!" The President snarled. He never thought there would be no result despite having this kind of opportunity. Sothing like this wouldn't co by twice.
He thought for a mont and shouted, "Tell all the dia to portray everything bad about him! After their opinion shift, we're going to apprehend them."
"Y-yes."
There was a group of people he assembled in order to think about the strategy to get a hold of Theo's weakness. But none of them worked.
There was one thing he could attack, which was the Star Group. But the Star Group had Maya.
Even though the person in question was in South Dakota, she still had ti to control the Star Group. Even if they closed the company for a few days, it wouldn't matter much.
The governnt surely wanted the design of the aircraft, but unfortunately for them, she had gotten hold of the design. Unless they ca to her directly, there was no way they would get it.
That was why no matter what the governnt did, they couldn't gain anything. And without anything, there was no way Theo would let this go. He would counterattack after the battle was over.
So, the governnt was desperate to catch one of his weaknesses. They even tried to use the union to pressure the War God Family, but to no avail since the union didn't want to antagonize Theo anymore. United Asia, on the other hand, had been Theo's close ally, so they wouldn't accept anything from them.
Thus, the situation transpired in the base. The governnt was cornered while Theo fought a World Class Monster to increase his prestige again.
