God of Tricksters

‘Devour who? Me?’ Anger started to swell in his heart. The blank gaze gradually regained its light. Even though the memory was wiped out, he could still see the new memory.

Judging from the conversation and what he received, Theo could see what was happening to him.

It didn’t take too long for him to show his anger. But before he could utter a single word, the woman had decided what to do with him.

“We will have him stay in that place and I will erase his memory every year. This is the least painful option I can give to him.” The woman let out a long sigh.

“What will happen if he escapes?”

“It’s impossible to escape from this place. The blizzard outside will freeze anything, whether it’s a living being or a dead soul. Unless he can get the underworld flame from this place, which is guarded by us, it’s impossible.”

The snake nodded his head, agreeing to the woman’s decision. He immediately grabbed Theo again with his tongue and started carrying him to another place.

They never expected that this was the biggest mistake they would ever commit in their life.

Theo was thrown away into the plain field. The soil was red as if it had been painted by blood. There were numerous skulls scattered. And the mist still trapped him inside.

Judging from the time it took them to arrive at this place, Theo could roughly calculate the distance between this place and the bridge.

However, Theo couldn’t really act up at this point. There was a chance that they would destroy his soul entirely, so he could only appear to be lifeless.

The snake put him down on the ground. Even though he had seen a lot of dead souls, he still empathized with the anomalous soul.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. After dropping him to this place, the snake returned to the bridge.

Theo gritted his teeth as he kept getting new memories about his clone’s life. When he saw Theo making a mistake, he couldn’t help but berate him, saying, ‘Why did you do something so foolish? You are the God of Trickster’s emissary? Idiot.’

Although the memory had been wiped, his personality and talent remained. In addition, he could see the memory without experiencing it himself. That was why he could berate him all he liked.

After all, he wouldn’t be able to think about such a thing if he experienced it personally. The condition of his body, the toll on his mind, and many other factors would affect his judgment. That was why the original Theo thought Theo was so foolish.

However, there was also another problem he had to face in Helheim. There were numerous dead souls in this place.

Those who died in battle might be able to go to Valhalla, but those who died in another way, especially the ones who had done a lot of bad things in their lives, would be tortured in this place.

Of course, it wasn’t that dangerous for him. But all those screams and anguish started to get into his head.

The burning flesh’s smell made him want to vomit. After experiencing the pain of having his memory wiped, he could somehow imagine their pain as if he had experienced the same torture.𝓞𝔳𝐞𝗅xt.𝒞𝐎𝑚

Without having anyone to talk to, Theo began to hallucinate.

There were numerous things happening in his life, starting from the sudden appearance of the woman because he feared her to the sudden ambush from those souls.

It wasn’t real, but Theo’s state of mind kept the hallucination going, gradually making him insane.

But that wasn’t all. He also kept receiving the Magic Power from his real body. And the memory made him lonely. He also longed for such an achievement, especially since that opportunity was originally his.

He didn’t expect that his clone would take over his body.

Unfortunately for him, he could do nothing other than watch them. If they found out about his current state, the woman might return to this place and capture him.

His mind was tortured by the hallucination. His body kept moving away to hide from all the hallucinations, keeping him fatigued.

When he couldn’t go any lower, the happy memory Theo had with his friends burned him in jealousy.

There was Alea, who seemed to be fond of him. After enduring all the loneliness, Alea’s company was the best thing he would ever have. That was why without hesitation, Theo would choose Alea.

Yet, the clone Theo didn’t even plan to choose her. The hatred, jealousy, and envy ended up plaguing him.

It didn’t stop there. He saw Theo’s great achievement in the Grand Tournament. Theo had been able to outsmart the clone Theo due to him watching all the memories instead of experiencing them himself.

That was why Theo thought he would be able to achieve higher as long as he was the one possessing his body. The frustration added another torture in his mind.

There was also the matter with his step brother as well as parents. Since his memories had been wiped out, he didn’t know what happened to him in the past.

That was why he couldn’t help but miss his step brother and his parents even though he first didn’t recognize them. Once again, Theo threw them again.

He didn’t know how much he called the clone Theo ‘idiot.’ But it surely reached a point where he believed that Theo was a complete idiot.

It then reached the point where he found Agata. Just like Alea, Agata’s companion was one of the best memories that kept him going in this treacherous place.

The clone Theo finally accepted her, but Theo became even more frustrated. All the achievements, Agata, Alea, and all the families should have been there. They were supposed to be with him.

But he could only see it through the influx of memory while listening to the people’s anguish during their torture.

Theo didn’t realize it, but he had become insane.
