Chapter 155 The Identity Of The Eighth Monster Saint
Alister never planned to let his subordinates deal with powerful enemies. After all, the purpose of recruiting subordinates was just to deal with miscellaneous work.
If an existence far surpassed his power, then it was impossible for his subordinates to deal with them. And since he was cautious, he would never accept that his subordinate was the same power or stronger than him.
Knowing that Jake and Bruce couldn't deal with the upcoming monster from the dimensional gate, he nodded at their request and signaled for Jake and Bruce to stay far away.
Although he could protect Jake and Bruce since the upcoming monster was just a mere Monster Saint, Jake and Bruce would be reduced to burdens if they were caught up in his battle with the Transcendent Saint.
Jake and Bruce were well aware of Alister's intention. They didn't want to become a burden during the battle between Alister and the Monster Saint so they obediently listened to Alister and retreated.
Alister awaited the invasion of that Monster Saint and sure enough, he didn't have to wait that long.
A colossal tentacle monster came out of the dimensional gate and it seemed to possess the power of Transcendent Saint Initial Stage.
Although Alister hadn't encountered that tentacle monster since the one he encountered was far too weak, he was confused to discover that the aura and presence of the tentacle monster seemed to be quite familiar as if he had encountered it before.
'It shouldn't be… That's impossible…'
With his intelligence, Alister deduced the identity of the tentacle monster and he felt that the conclusion he had arrived at was very absurd.
As if to confirm his deduction, the colossal tentacle monster's body turned into specks of light and transformed into human form.
The appearance of the tentacle monster in human form was a beautiful teenage girl who looked no different from a human. However, there were eight tentacles protruding from her backside that seemed to be positioned like a bunch of tails.
The tentacle monster in human form has brown hair and jade-green eyes. Her skin was smooth and fair and her direct transformation into human form didn't result in her being naked but she donned civilian clothing.
If not for Alister's absolute mind superpower that made it easier for him to access his memories, he wouldn't have remembered who that girl was.
After all, she was just previously an insignificant ant who wasn't worth paying attention to or even remembering.
But Alister felt that even if he didn't have the absolute mind superpower, he would still remember her since her demise was quite a unique one.
Noticing that Alister remembered her, the tentacle girl scoffed and her voice was filled with hatred, "If it wasn't for you and those bunch of humans at the supermarket, I wouldn't have risked my life and sacrificed my purity just to buy you and those ants some time for your escape."
"I wouldn't have hated you all if not for the fact that I found out that you had hidden your power at that time and could have saved me and dealt with that 7th-level tentacle monster. Yet even when I risked my life to save you, you didn't do the same for me when your power at that time was far stronger than mine."
Yes, Alister has confirmed that the identity of the tentacle girl was indeed that beautiful teenage girl who had sacrificed her life just to buy him enough time to leave the supermarket.
She was none other than that unfortunate soul who was raped by that 7th-level tentacle monster.
Meeting a past "acquaintance", Alister reminisced about the time he was a weakling at 9th-level transcendent.
Although he could indeed save the girl at that time, Alister wasn't obligated to save her since it was that girl's duty as a transcendent to save non-transcendents like himself.
From another perspective, she was just a policeman who was on duty and somehow encountered aggressive criminals.
But if a question was asked, if you encountered policemen or any law enforcer held at gunpoint, would you save them? If you save them, that criminal might point his gun at you and shoot you to death.
Alister knew he wouldn't. Those morons who criticized his actions were nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.
After all, those wimps who could only speak complaints by using their so-called freedom of speech were nothing but dogs who could only bark but not bite.
If they were asked this question, they might hypocritically justify themselves. But in the end, if they were forced to act, they would be the first to run and leave that policeman in danger.
Alister knew that there was nothing wrong with that. But what was wrong was someone acting "Holier than thou" and highlighting how evil his action was for not saving this girl.
Since that girl was a transcendent and she was paid with the tax that he and his parents had contributed, then it was her obligation to save him and other non-transcendents and not the other way around.
In response to the tentacle girl's hatred toward him and her criticizing his actions, Alister was annoyed, "Oh, so you are now blaming me and those whom you have saved?"
"I wasn't a transcendent like you before so I am not obligated to save you. On the other hand, you who are transcendent are obligated to save humans such as myself since you are paid to do so."
"Or did you expect, you can receive your wage as a transcendent and not expect to risk your life in the process? Transcendents such as yourself are already warned about the risk of death. Since you chose this job, then you can only suck it up and deal with it."
After criticizing the tentacle girl, Alister added, "Instead of being revenge-driven here and making me and those non-transcendents as your target for revenge, why not target the Transcendent Association instead? Hmmm??!!"
"After all, from another perspective, it's the Transcendent Association's fault for not detecting the appearance of the dimensional gate in time as well as the delay in reinforcements."
When faced with Alister's consecutive criticisms, the tentacle girl was stunned!
