God of Tricksters

Theo Group’s Headquarters.

“Huh?” Leonardo, Agata, Nella, and everyone in the room couldn’t help but drop their jaws. They simply couldn’t believe what they saw.

On the one hand, the situation had already reached a point where one mistake could kill them. On the other hand, they realized that it was only limited to them, not theirs.

“Theo!” Agata couldn’t help but shout, calling his name. She was completely horrified because she never thought the situation would become this ridiculous.

Leonardo, who sat next to her, was also dumbstruck. He completely had no idea what to say.

He wanted to call Theo’s name, but it was useless since the other party wouldn’t hear it. It wasn’t that he hated them or anything. He just didn’t have the energy to do it.

“This is… Why?” Leonardo gasped. “Why would he do such a thing? Does he not know that the entire army would collapse if he did such a thing? Or is it his aim?”𝞸𝒱𝒍xt.𝗇𝓔t

Leonardo’s body was shaking. Even he never expected this.

Nella couldn’t do or say anything. She was completely frozen.

There was no one who expected something like this. That was why they were thrown into chaos.

Leonardo said with a cracking voice. “Why did the Time God kill Theo?”

Yes. What they saw was the Time God killing Theo by stabbing his heart with his right hand like how Loki killed the Heavenly Sovereign.

On the battlefield, Theo was staring at the slime, his current opponent.

However, he noticed the fluctuation of Magic Power from the Time God. It was obvious that the Time God was planning to use his power to fight against the slime and Loki.

But it turned out the Time God actually used his power to freeze time for a moment. He used that split second to appear behind Theo and pierce his heart.

“Gah!” Theo spat a mouthful of blood as the blood circulation in his body was interrupted. The pain wasn’t something he couldn’t handle. But the shock made him look down, trying to find the cause of the pain.

It was at that time he realized that the Time God was the culprit.

“You…” Theo’s head turned around weakly.

The Time God didn’t say anything as he pulled out his hand, letting Theo fall down.

“!!!” There was also one more person that was shocked after witnessing this betrayal. He was none other than the God of Mischief. 

“What? What did—!!!” The God of Mischief suddenly felt another fluctuation of Magic Power, but this time from the side. “Not good!”

The slime actually extended its tentacle, trying to swallow him and dissolve him. After seeing how Theo died, he realized that the slime and the Time God was in cahoots.

He glanced to the side, finding the other Theo. He didn’t know whether this Theo was the real one or the clone. Nonetheless, as long as Theo was still alive, he could do something to the other self.

He was the same. He had his clone with him, but the slime seemed to have expected it and sent two tentacles, each to their respective target.

In other words, the slime wanted to completely dissolve him since he was capable of doing so, unlike the Time God, who had limited power and size.

Unlike Theo, the God of Mischief was a Singularity Rank. In addition, he had seen what happened to Theo. So, it wasn’t that hard to speculate what the slime was planning to do.

As soon as he connected the dots, he immediately moved away, trying to escape from this place.

However, everything changed when he was about to move. His body suddenly stopped as if something invisible was restraining him.

Normally, it would be impossible to restrain him even with Magic Power. But the God of Mischief somehow couldn’t move.

“Kh. I can’t move? No, wait!” The God of Mischief gritted his teeth, looking at the Time God. He realized that the Time God actually froze the time around him. With that, there was no way his body could move past the frozen area.

And with that, the tentacles swallowed both Loki while using the Dissolve Power to start melting him.

“No—!” The God of Mischief released all his Magic Power, but it was too late. The slime had dropped on top of him, covering his body.

When he used the Magic Power, the Magic Power was dissolved immediately. Even if he planted the illusion right inside the slime’s mind, it didn’t matter anymore since his body was already covered in slime.

That was why the God of Mischief gradually disappeared inside the tentacles.

However, the God of Mischief didn’t forget to utter one last thing, confirming the doubt that everyone had this whole time.

“You… are the spy.”

He was glaring at the Time God. Yes, the Time God turned out to be the slime’s spy.

To think the world’s strongest man would submit to their enemy before the fight, it was a huge blow to the human race. In addition, the Time God had done a lot of things to help the slime, including killing one of Theos and helping the slime eliminate the God of Mischief.

There was no way everyone could believe it. In the previous battle, the Time God appeared on the battlefield, protecting the people. He had even killed multiple King Class Monsters.

In this war, the Time God also killed a few King Class Monsters and even aided the human race. But to think that everything was just his plan to make them believe him… it was so mortifying.

Everything the Time God did was to make them believe that he was his ally. But when they thought about it, the Time God rarely made a move because he called himself an ‘observer.’

Yes, he referred himself as the ‘observer.’ On the one hand, he looked like he was trying to do his best after having the book about his future. On the other hand, he had never lied to them. He was indeed an observer but for the slime. That made him the spy.

And Theo, who witnessed all this, knew that he had to escape right away.

The last Theo was humanity’s hope. They couldn’t lose, so he had to do everything to escape.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The Time God had stopped the time once again as he approached Theo in this frozen world.

“Goodbye, Theodore Griffith. You are strong but not strong enough.”
