God of Tricksters

Theo nodded. “As for the details, he will be the one explaining it to you.”𝑂𝑣𝗅xt.𝔠𝑜𝑚

“Understood. I’m curious about the relics of the past. To think I would be so lucky that I could meet such a person during my lifetime.” The Heavenly Sovereign smirked.

Other people were confused. They wondered what these two were talking about.

Theo mentioned the God of Mischief, but they had never heard anything about this person. The fact that he was helping the Heavenly Sovereign to handle the slime meant the God of Mischief was extremely powerful.

Then again, the Heavenly Sovereign said he was the relic of the past. They tried to make the connection between the information they had just received and arrived at a pretty bizarre conclusion.

The Sword Saint couldn’t help but ask, “The God of Mischief in your mouth… Is he the God of Mischief in Norse Mythology?”

The Sword Saint, one of the closest people to the Heavenly Sovereign, had obviously heard the Heavenly Sovereign mentioning something similar. So, he was the first one to ask.

Theo looked at him for a moment before nodding his head. “I guess it’s time to tell you about the other world. I can’t say much, but I certainly can tell you some of the information that you might know nothing about.”

Theo raised his hand and formed two balls next to each other. “The red ball is the other world where monsters roam, while the blue one is our version of Earth.

“I’m not sure you’ve heard about Ragnarok, the event that ends the age of God, but I’m not going to explain it to you. Just think of this Ragnarok as the beginning point.

“After the age of God ended, the living almost went extinct. To avoid that, the God of Mischief and a few other Gods and Goddesses formed a copy of that world, which is the planet we’re living on right now.

“Some humans were transported to this world to reproduce while the other races, whose resilience was stronger than humans, stayed in that world. That’s the beginning of this world and the other world and why we have a lot of mythologies along with the reason for the other world to be filled with monsters.

“When the apocalypse occurred, the pillars that supported the two worlds collapsed. The two worlds began to fuse. However, as you know that after thousands of years, the two worlds have become two separate entities. When they fused, they rejected each other. As a result, only a portion of them was fused.

“I’m pretty sure you have seen a lot of new things after the apocalypse. There are a lot of plants and monsters coming into this world, including the monster that we’re about to face right now.”

“…” The people fell silent, falling into deep thought. Some of them gasped as if they had just known such an important secret about their world. They never thought that their world was not a real world but only a copy.

Then again, they perfectly witnessed how a clone worked his way up to the point he became the dominant one.

Thinking about it, they could somehow understand why their world fused with the other world, but the monsters were teleported to this world instead of the other way around.

The Sword Saint frowned and muttered, “So, the slime has become our problem because of the apocalypse…”

“Well, I wouldn’t put it that way. Take a look at the previous problems. The radiation from a nuclear power plant, the trash we had thrown away, and even the current slime…”

“Hmm?” The Sword Saint’s body shook. “Now that I think about it, we have used nukes in the past when we fight against the monsters…”

“Yes. In the past, we’ve brought radiation to the other world. And after a while, we have also started dumping some trash into the ocean in another world. The monsters have been evolving due to our interference.

“The slime is included in one of the changes we brought.” Theo closed his eyes for a moment before saying, “I’m not sure how the slime was exactly created, but the slime was surely made of nuke, chemicals, and trash. The slime must have mutated to the point it created its current power… the ability to dissolve everything.”

The people sucked a cold breath. They wanted to rebuke him, but Theo was merely stating the fact. So, they couldn’t really say anything about all those facts.

In other words, the one who actually created the monster was them. The monsters in the other world had been putting up a fight to suppress those problems, but after the apocalypse, the monsters they’d created came to bite them.

They looked at each other, realizing that this was their problem the entire time.

Theo looked at them with a serious expression. “That’s why I have to say this to all of you. No matter the circumstances, we have to kill the slime. If we don’t kill the slime right now, the slime will keep expanding and dissolve everything. His strength will eventually reach a level where he can dissolve everything on this planet.”

There was something that Leonardo realized from this story. His expression turned grim just from imagining it.

“Wait a moment. Lorenzo has a Space Ability. Now that I think about it, you also had a problem with a spy during the previous war where explosions suddenly occurred within the army. I don’t think that’s the work of the spy. I think…” Leonardo looked at Lorenzo.

Of course, he wasn’t suspecting Lorenzo, considering the other party was in the union the whole time. He suspected there was another person with Space Ability.

Theo shook his head and said, “You don’t have to worry about that. I can assure you that it’s not a Space Ability.”

“How are you so sure?” Leonardo frowned. “I mean, Lorenzo has the ability to do it easily. So, a Space Element user should be able to do it without anyone noticing.”

Theo replied with a smile. “That’s because the reason why I was absent in the previous war was because I had a cooperation with the Space Saint.”
