God of Tricksters

On the way, Theo was silent, thinking about the future possibilities.

'The Queen of Destiny should have known that I'll be visiting the pianist. Yet, she still said I could only get one person, Jeff.

'In that case, what will I do to persuade this pianist?' Theo narrowed his eyes. This time, he couldn't use his Reality Order to answer the question. Unlike the Queen of Destiny's test, he couldn't change his destiny or reality as of now.

The only thing he could do was alter that possibility when the Queen of Destiny used her power.

'Heh… She didn't need to test me? She was a freaking liar. She knew I would be tested in this way, so there was no need to test me again.

'She knew the future. Now that I think about it, what kind of answer could break the destiny?' Theo narrowed his eyes.

Now that he had gotten this question into his reality, there was no other way to answer this question. Every possibility had been calculated.

'Should I use this letter? No, that's the basic answer. Should I stop right now and return? It just proves that I can't recruit this guy. Should I send Isaac and Felix alone? The Queen of Destiny should have seen this possibility too. What about Millie? Can I ask her to hack the guy's stuff? No, this is the same…'

Theo was asking himself, wondering how to answer that question. Just like the Queen of Destiny said, the only way he could do this was to use his Order to influence reality. However, she knew his ability was nowhere at the level of manipulating reality. Hence, Theo shouldn't be able to get the answer.

'I can't find a single solution? What is the one that can break the destiny?' Theo narrowed his eyes. 'Now that I think about it, how do I even escape from those numerous possibilities? Everything I do should have been calculated.

'What if I'm the God of Mischief? Can I actually escape from destiny?' Theo didn't have the answer. It was impossible for Theo to break free from the numerous possibilities.

'I can only answer this question without using my Reality Order… Is that even possible?' Theo gritted his teeth, having no answer.

As if wanting to add more choices to his repertoire, Theo looked at the brown envelope, planning to open it.

"Ahaha, I'm pathetic. Now that I'm in the same position as you guys, I can't answer that question." Theo chuckled while pinching the bridge of his nose. He was truly hopeless.

"Joker?" Isaac was confused by Theo's words, while Felix didn't bother to check Theo's condition.

"What kind of question will you ask the one who sees the numerous possibilities?" Theo uttered the question, jogging Isaac's memory.

"!!!" Isaac widened his eyes, remembering the question. He soon understood why Theo felt hopeless.

It turned out the Queen of Destiny had predicted this possibility.

"How about giving up?" Isaac scratched the back of his head. If recruiting him was impossible, there was no need to get him.

"If that is you, what will your question be, Felix?" Theo asked.

"Out of nowhere…" Felix scratched the back of his head and started thinking. "How about using the fact that I know the future to break free from it?"

"And what if the moment you know your future, a new possibility of it being the base is created? And what if that possibility is not only one but infinite?" Theo asked again as he already had that answer this whole time.

Now that Theo had changed his question, Felix fell silent, having no answer to give. He realized if his awareness about the future had been calculated as well, then there was no way he could escape from those possibilities.

Even Isaac understood since this question broke his answer. No wonder the Queen of Destiny marked him the lowest. It turned out he didn't realize he hadn't escaped or tried to escape from the future.

"Well, since we're not fated, why don't we go back? There's no need to do something useless, right?" Isaac asked, persuading Theo that there was no need to come to Christoper. Even with the envelope, Christoper wouldn't join them.

"No. The possibility only becomes zero when you give up. I don't want to give up." Theo shook his head. "Even if the odds are one in a million, I will find that one possibility."

Theo looked determined to get this guy, breaking the future.

"Are you a sore loser?" Isaac made a wry smile, not knowing whether to praise him or question him.

"I don't care what you call me." Theo shook his head as he still searched for the possibility that shouldn't have existed.

"Are you going to do something even more absurd right now? Like creating a new future? What if the possibility of you creating a new future has been calculated? Doesn't that mean you're still inside those numerous possibilities?" Isaac asked.

His meaning was clear. Isaac was questioning the extent of Theo's power. If Theo had the power to break free from the numerous possibilities, what if the possibility of him doing it existed? In the end, Theo was still trapped in those numerous possibilities.

To put it simply, there was no answer to complete the Queen of Destiny's test.

"I see. No matter how hard you try to break free from that possibility, you trying to break free alone is already within that possibility. In other words, this is a test that will only end in failure because the future of you completing the test is already within the possibility." Felix looked down, falling into deep thought.

"…" Theo's expression darkened as no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible. However, there was one reason why Theo hadn't given up.

At that time, the Queen of Destiny told him that he wasn't strong enough to give her the answer she wanted. It meant there was an answer. Yet, him giving that answer should be within the possibility. Two sentences conflicted with each other, but it was impossible to break free from them.

'Is there truly no other way?' Theo gritted his teeth.
