"I'm back." The Space Saint's voice echoed when Theo was imagining the problem with the slime.
It seemed he came back with others since Theo could feel their presence. Theo gradually opened his eyes and took a look at the Space Saint's lineup.
There were four other monsters beside him.
The biggest one had a body like a wolf, but it didn't have any fur. The skin looked slimy and the head had no eyes, making it look more like a mutant than a monster.
Its height was more than fifty feet. With its exposed teeth, this monster's appearance was scarier than his strength.
Next to this monster was a humanoid figure. He was floating next to the wolf's head, looking at Theo.
He had a pair of red horns and a gloomy expression. There was a huge black bag underneath his eyes.
His skin was green and his body was muscular. Theo could see a boundless strength within that body.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo his surprise, he actually met another dragon here. Unlike the Lightning Dragon or the Magma Dragon, this dragon was silver.
He could see some arrogance in those eyes like the Magma Dragon. He thought the Lightning Saint was simply too different since his wisdom was unparalleled, knowing how to treat others. Then again, the Lightning Saint must be older than any dragon, so he could understand where the wisdom came from.
So, Theo didn't think much about this dragon.
Instead, he took a look at the last monster that the Space Saint brought. It was actually a dog. Its skin was black with some brown color on a few spots like that of a Dobermann.
He thought this was a dog if the dog wasn't standing on two feet.
From their presence alone, Theo knew that these four monsters were the same as the Space Saint, a World Class Monster.
Theo straightened his back as if giving them a sign of respect.
The dragon didn't have a change in posture, while the other three also made a simple gesture as if showing their respect to him. Even though they didn't know each other, they were still Saints. It was hard to reach this level, so the least they could do was show respect to each other.
The Space Saint said, "These four are the Saints working together with me to build the tunnel. I have told them about your suggestion, including the materials. And because of some problems, I have brought them here, so we can discuss the problems."
Theo nodded. His expression remained calm despite being surrounded by five World Class Monsters.
"So, what do you want to say?" Theo asked.
The humanoid monster was the first to open his mouth. "I'll address my problem first. I'm the one in charge of the materials. I have seen the list and their description…
"I don't have trouble recognizing the materials, but getting them is a bit of a problem. First of all, we're not in the other world. According to my observation, this world doesn't generate this type of material.
"So, it's impossible for me to find them. And getting that much material would be impossible."
Theo listened to his trouble and gave the answer he had prepared a long time ago. "We can start searching for materials within human cities. I have once tried to procure this material because the structure had collapsed and a part of the two worlds fused together.
"So, I tried to fix it with these materials. It worked but procuring the materials was a bit hard since it was a rare material.
"But according to my people, the amount of the materials the humans had brought back should be enough to create a few structures to support the tunnels.
"That's why I'd like to ask you to procure the materials."

"Before you continue, I think he should explain what the structure does first…" The humanoid dog stopped the humanoid monster since he still hadn't trusted Theo completely.
Theo nodded and showed a picture of the structure. He then told them about the purpose of the structure as the bridge to connect the two worlds.
There was something that caught their attention.
"We're not planning to reconnect the two worlds. We don't want the two worlds to have anything to do with each other. In other words, we only require the tunnel to work one way and after that, it doesn't serve any more purpose," said the Space Saint. He seemed to be the one who had the most grudge against the humans.
Theo maintained his poker face and explained the reasons. "Yes. The structures here are to support the tunnel from collapsing. Once they served the purpose, I could simply recycle them so that no one could use them anymore. And I'm the only one who can activate the tunnel, so it should work."
"How can we trust you? After all, you can activate the portal again and invade the other world using that tunnel."
Theo shrugged. "I planned to split the structure later and use it to reinforce the airplanes. I'm sure you know how humans travel, right? We're using that machine to fly in the air so that we can cross the ocean. We're using it to protect ourselves from the monsters.
"With the help of a few authorities, it's easy to create a barrier for that. So, I have my own plans after that…"
They exchanged looks. Obviously, they couldn't trust Theo completely. But hearing his logic as well as the proof of the airplane itself, they felt Theo would truly be using the structures to protect those planes.
They didn't have much trouble since the humans would only know about these structures as reinforcement structures for the airplanes instead of a structure to create a tunnel to another world.
They considered Theo's words carefully before finally agreeing to this arrangement with a few conditions.
