Chapter 373 I Still Have A Lot Of Flaws
Fein looked around the stadium, then at the unconscious monster on the ground. He raised his left hand in the air.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
A powerful rumbling deafened the entire stadium. The ground shook, debris rolled on the ground, and the people around fell to the ground as they couldn't balance themselves.
"What's happening!?"
"Is there an earthquake!?"
The civilians began to panic. They looked fearfully at the humongous trees in front of them. If one of the threes fell to them. They knew they have only one end.
"Don't panic!" Gregory yelled at the civilians. "As long as we are here, a mere earthquake won't harm you."
The crowd turned their heads at Gregory and Michael who was just walking calmly as if the earthquake couldn't affect them.
"This is not an earthquake. It's just the effect of our friend's ability." Michael added.
As Michael's word end. The sea of a giant tree around them began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everyone started at the scene and understood the root cause of the strong rumbling.
The grasses withered, and trees disappeared, yet the cracks and the damages which prove their earlier existence were left on the floor. The stadium turned back to its earlier appearance. Except for all the damages the advent of the forest caused.
The crowd of people slowly calmed down as the rumbling weakened. They couldn't help but glance at the unrecognizable flooring of the stadium full of debris, sand, and cracks. And the azure sky replaced the once ceiling full of lighting, with a moon that illuminates the place with its brilliance.
"It's beautiful... Am I imagining it? Why does it seem that the moon and the sky were particularly beautiful today?" A woman in green clothes stared at the night sky with teary eyes.
"You're right! But I think it's because we manage to come out alive. We manage to survive the monster!!" A man slumped on the ground, relief was written all over his face.
Then a guy with a fat belly, tattooed body, and light brown skin laughed. "It's good to be alive! Now, I can brag with my friend that I survived at the hands of a monster! I could also let my son write a novel about this."
"As if someone would believe you. I bet that the officials would want us to be silent about this incident."
"Well, guys... It's time to say goodbye to this place. But if you still want to stay here, then you can say." Michael chuckled.
"Damn, no! Who wants to stay in this forsaken place? I think that I would dream about this place and it will become my nightmare!"
"Yeah, it's really traumatizing."
"Then obediently gather in one place and touch each other's hand," Gregory said in a stern voice.
A sense of oppression appeared that made the crowd of people shut their mouths. Gregory nodded with satisfaction as he saw them become obedient.
Michael sighed. 'Captain really acts playfully unknowingly sometimes.'
"Take care of yourselves. I hope that you cherished this second chance at life and live your life without regrets! Don't let the sacrifice of the degu users who saved you be in vain!" Gregory changed his tone to a passionate one.
"I will really cherish my life and spend the rest of my time with my family!"
"Yes! I will now propose to my girlfriend! This experience taught me that life could end at any time.
"Thank you for saving us!" The crowd bowed at the Ranger's Eye. Then they all lifted their heads and glanced at the corpse of the degu users: Gregory, Michael, Anthony, and Fein with grateful expressions.
Gregory smiled. "This is our job..."
"Well, this is a farewell, guys." Michael smiled and manipulate the shadows of the crowd to form a swamp in the ground. "Don't be nervous, okay? This is my shadow powers that would transport you to a safe place. It might look scary at first, but it's safe, so bear with it."
The people nodded one by one. Then they began to sink in the swamp, but due to Michael's early reminder. They didn't panic...
'Well, their psychological qualities improved because of this incident?' Seeing the calm faces of the crowd surprised Michael a little.
Although he reminded them. His shadow swamp could scare first-timers even if they are psychologically prepared. After all, sinking to the ground was something scary to think about. 'It's probably because they saw and experience much scarier today than this.' Ζππeππ²ππππ·π²π.cπΌπ

Seconds later, only the heads of the crowd could be seen, and as they were about to fully sink. They turned their heads to Fein in the distance and shouted. "Thank you, my lord! For us, you are a true god!"
Just like that, the swamp swallowed them whole, and they vanished. Silence filled the place again, and only the sound of the breeze and a mountain of corpses were left.
Fein looked speechless in the end. He didn't expect that the people he saved would consider him a god, which honestly made him embarrassed. After all, he didn't consider himself a god or anything like that. He was still far from that level.
Although he could perform inhuman feats and unimaginable things for normal humans. He's not omnipotent or omniscient. So, being called a true god made him feel ridiculous.
But he could also understand where they came from. After all, he just turned the whole stadium into a forest, not a normal forest at that. But a forest is full of trees with a height of hundred meters. Then he also saved them and defeated the monster that others couldn't even hurt. 'All these factors were probably what made them see me like that. Can I call this, saving a crowd of people in distress?'
"What's the feeling of being called a god?" Anthony smirked.
"S rank would really look like a god with the power they carry. They are a literal walking natural disaster on this planet." Michael sighed.
Fein shrugged as he saw their attempt to tease him. "God or something. I'm far from that. I still have a lot of flaws."
"Having flaws just means that you are really still a human. Well, enough of that. Let's return the base!" Gregory grinned.
