Shin had already thought of five major steps that would let him and his clan successfully escape or evade the threat.

Step one - informing all the higher-ups of the clan and encouraging them and unifying them.

With this step, Shin made sure that his strong men remained with him. The more the number of stronger beasts, the safer he would feel.

Step two - returning to the village.

Shin wanted everyone in the clan to return to the village that the dwarves were building. Since it was a centralized place that was deeper in the woods, it would be considerably difficult for other races or groups to find them. Also, the strong monsters present in the forest would act as a preventive measure or barrier for the clan and would slow down the foes.

Step three - leveling up the members and allowing evolution.

He had accumulated a lot of exp for the entire clan. By distributing them, he would help others to level up and increase their strength - in the end, making everyone stronger.

Of course, in this step, he had also thought about his own evolution as well.

Step four - assistance from Loria.

Shin would ask the Kingdom of Loria, which was already under him, to back them up. This way, not all humans could act rashly as going up against a nation and their army would be a little hassle and will cost the lives of their own members. Therefore, this was like a preventive measure against humans.

Step five - journey to the West terrain.

This was the final and most crucial step in the plan. Shin wanted everyone to safely arrive at the west terrain and then somehow find the Heavenly Wolf Family and seek protection from them.

If Heavenly Wolf Family's blood indeed ran inside him, then there was a high chance that they would support him, however, it wasn't confirmed.

Thus, the fifth step did seem more like a gamble, but it was something that couldn't be neglected.

'Alright…'

'So right now our top priority is getting back to the village safely…'

Shin thought about it for a few seconds. He knew that this was the best time to leave - without informing anyone.

However, it would be very hard as all the eyes were on them since they had won the clan wars.

Even the slightest movement could make a headline - that was the situation.

Therefore, it was quite hard to do anything quietly or silently.

'Hmm, I can store everyone in my inventory and silently get out of this place.' - Shin thought.

Inventory was three-dimensional storage. It is basically a type of space magic that compresses a large amount of space into a small proportion.

As the large space is compressed, all the contents within it would naturally get compressed as well.

Therefore, when Shin wants to store something in his inventory, he just looks at the object. The item instead of actually teleporting into a different dimension just gets highly compressed in the alternative space of the system.

Of course, if actual physical laws were applied to this, it would mean that time would become infinitely slower or almost stopped, and hence, anything stored inside an inventory doesn't age.

Naturally, they won't die either.

Although Shin wasn't aware of the complex theory and laws that worked behind the creation of a simple inventory, he knew the function that it performed. With the earlier experimentation, he already knew that he could store living things inside the inventory.

Of course, the system did once warn him not to do such things unless necessary, but this didn't mean that he was restricted from doing it.

Hence, he concluded that storing everyone in the inventory and using his skills to escape the place would be the fastest and the most effective way to get away from the eyes of the Supreme Celestials - but was that really true?

The supreme celestials had their eyes on Shin. No matter if he hid his aura or tried to run, they could see through everything. They would have their eyes on his movements.

Even if he could fool others, he couldn't possibly fool those all-mighty beings!

Shin too realized that and thus, he needed something that could prevent himself from being detected.

A fake… or perhaps a body double.

Something that would have the same stats as him - basically a duplicate of himself - would be the perfect decoy!

But how could he do that? How could he get a clone that could fool everyone?

While thinking this, Shin glanced at all the skills that he had right now. Most of the skills were either too basic and attack related or were too extreme.

However, none of those skills could provide him with a solution to creating a perfect decoy.

Aella glanced at Shin who seemed troubled by something. She wanted to ask him to share about his trouble but before she could do that, all the members that were present in the room started talking to Aella regarding her new form.

Some were intrigued and some were curious about how she evolved and how stronger she had become.

Aella, for now, answered them calmly, leaving Shin to deal with the problem on his own.

'Hmm…'

'The only thing that I can think about right now is Necromancy and Dark Manipulation.'

With the help of necromancy, Shin would be able to raise a dead being. The problem was, the said being's stats.

Since Shin suspected that the Supreme Celestials could see his stats and many would even have analysis skills, he couldn't fool them by using Necromancy on a mere dead body.

The same was true for Dark Manipulation. He could actually control Darkness and form a duplicate of his own - fleshed out from Shadow. However, the stats was the problem yet again.

'System, is there no way to give the clones the same stats as mine? Not forever, but for a few minutes?'

Shin hadn't discovered all the functions of the system, but this didn't mean that such a deceptive function would be available in the system. Nevertheless, Shin asked.

*Ding*

[It is possible to transfer stockpiled/accumulated Exp but stats cannot be transferred.]
