God of Tricksters

The Time God was walking down the empty street. Even he had a hard time finding Theo’s base, considering Theo had used everything he could to hide it.

But walking around the area was enough for him to alarm Theo.

As he predicted, there was a mouse staring at the Time God for one second before disappearing.

The Time God felt the gaze. Unlike an expert, who could conceal their breath and presence, the mouse’s gaze could easily be felt by someone like him.

Since Theo had been notified, the Time God glanced at the side and saw a half-broken bench. He walked to it and sat down, waiting for Theo to make his appearance.

It only took him fifteen minutes before he could feel a presence coming toward him. He raised his head and saw Theo walking on the street.

“It seems that you want to talk to me, Time God.” Theo looked at him with a solemn expression.

“You’re not going to invite me to your base? The last time I helped you practice, I invited you to my home.”

“Invited me? You mean kidnapped me?” Theo narrowed his eyes.

“But it doesn’t change the fact that the training was useful, right?” The Time God shrugged as if he didn’t care about Theo’s remark.

Theo fell silent for a while before asking, “So, what do you want from me?”

“Mhm…” The Time God contemplated for a moment. Instead of answering Theo’s question, he praised him first. “I wonder how much of this is your plan… The people in the white house are talking about you and don’t seem to be able to find a way to get what they want from you.

“At the same time, the fact that you disappear after the big war makes people think about your plans. They’re assuming you have a lot of plans to push them away from their position.”

Theo shook his head. “I have stated it from the very beginning. I don’t like getting involved in politics. Though, if you are going to annoy me, then I don’t mind jumping into politics.”

“That’s just like you.” The Time God thought for a moment. “That’s why I’m going to ask this… What do you want from the base, Theodore Griffith?”

Theo’s expression became grim. This question had a lot of meaning. It looked like a sign of surrender, but the Time God must have a plan beforehand, so Theo didn’t bite the bait immediately.

Instead, he asked, “What do you mean? I’m currently confused since I have everything I want here. Even if I want something, the base can’t give it to me.”

“Hoh? This makes me curious. What do you want to be exact?”

“That’s not something you need to know.” Theo shook his head.

“If I don’t know, why are you so sure I can’t give it to you?”

“Because I know. That’s just a fact.” Theo didn’t seem to be planning to give away what he wanted. However, Theo never lied, so he deemed the Time God to be unworthy to know about this. Rather than telling anyone else about it, he better keep it until the last moment.

But the Time God couldn’t be underestimated either. He smiled and asked, “So, it is something that I can’t give you, but the Heavenly Sovereign can?”

He had realized the Heavenly Sovereign must be connected to this. After all, there was no way that whimsical old man would come down from his mountain to become Theo’s ally.

Theo thought for a moment and shook his head. “He might, but I don’t think he’s qualified.”

“Hoh? Interesting.” The Time God smirked. “Then, is there a single person to be able to give you something you want?”

Theo smirked and stated, “No.”

The smirk on the Time God’s face disappeared. What Theo said didn’t make sense. If there was no one who could give it to him, even himself, then there was no point in asking for them. So, why did Theo even bother with this bullshit?

The Time God asked, “If no one can grant it, including you, then how do you plan to get it? Your argument doesn’t make sense.”

“Of course. There are people who know about what I want, but none of them can get it. However, that’s the difference between us, Time God. We might both rely on ourselves to get what we want, but you will always get stuck because you only believe in yourself. Meanwhile, I believe in others… I believe they will give me what I want… And what I need to do is simply do my job until I get it.” Theo shook his head, disappointed. He thought the Time God could understand him, but it seemed he couldn’t expect too much from an observer.

The Time God narrowed his eyes as if he was displeased when Theo showed his disappointment. However, he managed to refrain himself and asked another question. “Then, does what you want destroy the base or this world?”

“I’m here to prevent that,” Theo answered without hesitation. His tone was clear and his resolve was firm.

Even the Time God could feel his sincerity behind those words. It seemed that no matter what Theo did, he wasn’t going to involve so many people in it.

The Time God closed his eyes, falling into deep thought. He tried to figure out what he wanted but to no avail.

In the end, the Time God sighed and said, “It seems that I can’t understand you. But your ambition doesn’t seem to be harming the base. That’s why I’m going to stop here. You can take in the Mafia Queen as you like and I won’t interfere.”

“I think you misunderstand something, Time God. I’m not the government’s dog, so I don’t have any obligation to comply with what you want. Even if they send you to capture me, I’m not just going to open my gate and invite you in. In other words, the base should be the one to know their place. If they plan to control me, then don’t blame me for being merciless,” Theo stated coldly.

The Magic Power around the Time God’s body began to fluctuate as his expression became extremely cold. He said, “It’s been a while since we last fought… Do you want to fight little bastard?”

“I’m not scared of you, Old Clock.”
