"The war to decide humanity's survival is about to begin." Theo started his speech with a cold and bold statement that couldn't help but make everyone feel a bit nervous. Humanity's survival was a huge burden to everyone after all.

"I'm pretty sure that most of you, if not all, have seen the video about the slime. It must be hard to follow the command of someone who has been defeated by the slime. However, if we are simply fighting against the usual monsters whose intelligence is lower compared to us… Then, the Heavenly Sovereign or the Time God would surely be a better commander.

"But this time, our enemies are different. They have grown enough to develop tactics to catch us off guard. They can't be called monsters anymore! They are races… other races besides the humans.

"Yes. I'm telling you right now that the world that we know is no more. We, humans, are not the apex predator anymore. There are other races aiming at our lives. The sea races, the mutated monsters, and even the slime… We have to fight them sooner or later.

"However…" Theo paused for a moment as if he imagined their current opponent. It was a tall wall to overcome, but Theo still managed to smile. "However… This time, our opponent has overwhelming strength and tactics. Even I can't defeat the slime…"

Theo looked down as if he was disappointed in his own powerlessness. Even those who saw his expression couldn't help but bite their lips.

Of course, they had seen how the slime overwhelmed Theo in the video. Theo was one of the strongest humans, yet, he couldn't hold a candle against this slime.

However, Theo opened his mouth again. His voice was brimming with energy as there was no single trace of worry in his heart.

"But… this is not the end of our humanity, right?" Theo threw this question to all soldiers or even those who watched him through the screen. There was a smile on his face… a smile brimming with confidence.

He pointed at the soldiers and said, "I couldn't defeat the slime last time because I was alone. This time is different. I have you… I have all the experts in the base supporting me in this battle.

"Look at the people behind me. I have the Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint. I have all the genius commanders of the base that would help me command the army."

Theo took a step forward while pointing downward. "I… No, we are standing here as the representative of humanity. This fight is not the fight for liberation! This fight is to show our determination!"

The people couldn't help but raise their heads again, looking at him. His voice was brimming with energy. It made them feel confident. 'They could do it!' they thought.

Theo's confident smile became even bigger as he stated, "This fight is to show those monsters that we, humans, are not going to surrender quietly.

"I alone can't defeat the slime. That's why I need you. This country… This base alone can't overcome this trouble. That's why we should take a look at the people next to us. Everyone is here… the US Base, the union, United Asia, the world… We don't have to differentiate people based on the color of their skin, their ethnicity, or the countries they come from.

"Everyone standing here is the representative of the human race! And I have no doubt that…" Theo put on a genuine smile that washed away any worry people had in their hearts as he said, "…with the world backing me up, there's no way I will lose."

The last sentence in Theo's speech caused a spark in everyone's heart. When Theo faced a powerful enemy, he would be able to change the course of battle with his ally. And this time, the enemy was not other humans anymore. Instead, the entire world united in a single banner to accompany him in this battle. With such an ally, there was no way they could lose.

As Theo said, there was no need to differentiate people anymore. They… The person next to them, the one behind them, and even the person in front of them are the representative of the human race.

The soldiers turned their heads around, looking at the people around them.

'That's right. There's no need to think about anything else. There's no need to bother with race or skin color…'

'You are a human. I am also a human. That's all we need.'

'We come together as one.'

'As the representative of the human race…'

'We shall fight for our own survival.'

'Today…'

'We shall gain our victory.'

'Today…'

'We shall fight for our tomorrow.'

'With all of you here… For all of us… For humanity.'

The soldiers couldn't help but smile. The flame sparked in their heart as their excitement rose further.

"Then…" Seeing their expressions, Theo added one last thing. The people briefly looked at Theo as he opened his mouth. His tone and voice felt like he genuinely felt that way and believed it. "I'm counting on you guys."

"O…oh!"

"Oooohhhh!"

"OOOOHHHH!"

They raised their hands while roaring into the sky. They would do it. They would definitely do it.

Theo smiled as he jumped into the air, stunning everyone. The Heavenly Sovereign, the Sword Saint, the Transcendent Level Experts, and even the generals also followed Theo's action, standing next to each other.

The soldiers finally saw their backs… the reliable backs that made them feel like they could defeat everything. Even if their vision was covered by darkness, as long as they found these backs, it would become a beacon of light. They had just to follow them to emerge victorious.

The cheers became louder. Not only in this place but the other places that listened to Theo's speech through the broadcast. That day, the world was united as one.

'Let's go…' Theo smiled as he stepped forward while raising his spear.

'Let's go…' The others also pulled out their weapons and raised them.

They looked at the horizon as the cloud of dust started to rise, symbolizing the monster's arrival.

'This is not the end.' Theo muttered as he started releasing his Magic Power. His expression turned serious as he said in his heart. 'This is… just the beginning.'
