"Where is it?" The principal's shout echoed throughout the island. After using his full power to fly, he reached the island in just forty minutes. However, he noticed that the island had been restored to a certain degree and numerous aliens had settled down.
He noticed the students had regrouped on the ship.
It seemed there were casualties among them, which made the principal furious.
The principal gritted his teeth and grabbed Dikkleus' collar while shouting, "You bastard. Do you know what you have done?"
Dikkleus smirked as if he didn't fear anything. "I advance humanity. It doesn't matter if you are a normal human or a summoner, but with the alien, you can basically live endlessly. Do you know the sorrow of a husband, Principal?"
"Who cares about that?! You are just a pathetic loser who can't even overcome your own sorrow, using it as an excuse to show your psychopathic inner side that had been suppressed the whole time."
"What is the difference between me and you? Do you know how many people have died because of you?" Dikkleus snorted.
"I'm not here to argue with a loser like you. Say it. Who are they? You must not be alone. The resources from the Frexia Academy are not enough. Who is the one supporting you?"
Dikkleus' grin widened as he said, "You don't think the attack during the enrollment test is a random attack, don't you?"
"!!!" The principal's expression turned grim. He had heard from Vivian that the attack originally came because of his absence. However, if he added this incident to the calculation, he realized the situation might not be as simple as he thought.
In addition, even though the Chaotic Cat was notorious, they didn't have the method to bypass their security. It was as if someone was playing a trick behind the scenes.
Those terrorists were clueless, but it would be different if they only followed an order.
That was why it made him think. What if the attack was not a coincidence? What if there was another organization controlling the chaotic cat? Their goal was to kidnap the students, but to avoid anyone's detection, they manipulated the chaotic cat. They would get summoners from them and pin the blame on the terrorists.
And for them to get Dikkleus on their side, it was clear their background was pretty terrifying.
The principal asked coldly, "Who are they?"
Dikkleus smiled. Suddenly, black veins started to emerge from his heart, spreading all over his body.
"This is…symbiote?" The principal widened his eyes in shock.
"You don't think I would do something like this without any preparation, right?" Dikkleus smiled. "There is already a symbiote in my body. It's just dormant this whole time.
"Oh. Principal… I will just warn you about something. You better prepare because the thing that'll come is beyond anyone's imagination. There will be a day where humans have to fight other humans. This is just the first step, and I'm just one of their researchers.
"This world is rotten. There are so many madmen like me in this world. Humanity is doomed to be destroyed on its own, so I just accelerate that process."
"You bastard!" The principal was grinding his teeth. "I'll make sure that you leave nothing behind in this world."
Dikkleus smiled. "Yes. And that would be the state of humans in the future. Nothing… other than extinction. I'll give you two last messages as thanks for giving me all those resources.
"This is just the beginning. The alien you will face is much stronger than you think. And you won't be able to stop it. The elite class aliens? They are not the strongest. There are even stronger aliens out there.
Their power rivaled divine entities.
"However, at a time like this, an anomaly appears. A human who is different from the rest."
"!!!" The principal widened his eyes in shock. Dikkleus was talking about Nathan. A human who was able to summon a beast.
"You better teach him well because they have cast their eyes on him. I don't know what kind of possibility he brings, but something definitely changes." Dikkleus couldn't speak any further as the alien had begun to take over his body.
The principal gritted his teeth. When he saw the symbiote start to move his body, the principal sighed and crushed Dikkleus' head.
Vivian was crossing her arms, observing both of them the whole time. The moment Dikkleus mentioned Nathan, she felt uncomfortable. The situation turned out to be worse than she originally thought.
The principal turned around and said, "Your student won't be safe anymore."
"I know. He needs to get stronger as quickly as possible."
"From the looks of it, there is an organization orchestrating the entire thing from the shadows. And this organization is searching for summoners and trying to make the alien even stronger. I don't know their goal, but it's clear that they are an annoying pest.
"I will discuss it with the king of the Azilia Kingdom regarding this problem. It should be able to buy him some time." The principal let out a long sigh. "I think it's better to inform the church about this as well."
"The church, huh? Their main focus is on the alien, no? I don't think they will aid us in fighting an organization like this."
"Well, convincing them might not be that hard to be honest."
"Is that so?" Vivian tilted her head in confusion.
"Yeah. Thanks to your student, that is. You better increase your strength, Vivian, or your student will surpass you pretty soon."
Vivian nodded. In her heart, she was ready to become even stronger, to the point she surpassed even him. And the key would be the fairy queen Charlotte. She had to prepare for the summoning.
On the other hand, if Nathan were here, he could probably think of two changes he could bring. The first would be the knowledge about divine beings like gods and goddesses. While they couldn't bring anyone who had the form of a complete human, there were still a lot of gods and goddesses that could match the criteria.
The second change would be his divine beasts as well as the bloodline that carried it. There was a high chance that the next generation carrying his bloodline would have the ability to summon beasts.
"For now, let's go back. I'll need to calm the students as well."
