God of Tricksters

After talking a bit more with the Shadow King, Theo tried to take a peek at the unfortunate humans that got caught by the distortion.

Still, as one would expect from hundreds of thousands if not millions of humans, Theo couldn't see all of them at once despite most of them gathering at one point.

He already saw them from an elevated ground, but the people he could see right now were roughly one hundred thousand people. Yet, they already looked so small like ants.

"This is a bit too many for us to handle. Shouldn't we go back and bring some people to help us?" Felix asked.

"That can be done, but they need to survive first. Don't you forget that the people here have no water or food? At the same time, if the monsters don't put them under their custody, they will die from other uncontrolled monsters." Theo shook his head helplessly.

"Now that I think about it, humans can only live for three days without water. And almost two days had passed, considering the incident happened one day before we rushed to this place. And we needed one day to reach this place. Even with the military, I think these people would have died before the military came."

"My point exactly. That's why we can't really get any help."

"But I don't think we can lead all these people right now. It's too much."

"I know. That's why I want you to gather one thousand people. Each of them will handle one hundred to one thousand people around them. After that, you give the plan for our rescue, and I'll take over when they don't want to move. Even if it's not possible to handle all of them, we can at least bring seventy percent of these people back." Theo sighed.

"I'll try then." Felix nodded.

"Remember our plan with the monsters. For now, I'm going to test Isaac's theories to make sure that they can pass through the distortion. After that, we'll lead them back to their country."

"Still, it's surprising that you want to help them. I mean, you are not the type of someone who will do something like this."

"True. Humanity is trash, greedy, and pathetic, and I can continue the insult for as long as I want. Even so, it's not like I can really let them die. Pretty contradictory, eh?"

"No, I call it sympathy."

"Either way, we need to move fast."

"Understood."

As soon as Theo and Felix agreed with the plan, both of them disappeared into thin air.

Meanwhile, the people in the valley could only clutch their heads or stomachs. They were hungry and thirsty.

However, all the troublemakers had been killed by the monsters, making them too scared to even move.

Due to the continuous pressure, they started giving up all hope, thinking there was no way they would survive in this situation.

"We need to fight them!" One of the people who seemed to be a Hero Rank Expert shouted.

"Idiot. Don't raise your voice. Do you want to die?"

"They have multiple Mythical Rank Monsters and numerous Supreme Rank Monsters. If they want, they will kill us right now."

"It's better to die trying than simply waiting for our death here!"

The people had some small conflicts here and there because a small part of people who thought they had some power wanted to fight their way out.

On the other hand, the people who never even hunted a single monster in their life couldn't do anything, including voicing their opinion. They were simply too scared that the situation would get even worse.

While they were shouting at each other, they heard loud explosions coming from all sides.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"!!!" All of them fell silent when they heard these explosions. They thought the monsters had decided to kill them.

However, a human's voice echoed from the cliff.

"We've found them!"

The human was Felix. When they saw Felix's figures, hope started to return to their hearts. But before Felix looked at them, he took advantage of the different heights to confuse them.

He turned around and did some hand signals as if he was telling his comrades to do something for him. Soon, the explosions continuously occurred as if the subordinates continued to fight them.

After that, Felix looked down and saw the people cheering for him. He hurriedly put his finger in front of his mouth as if asking them to shut up.

To his surprise, most of the people who saw his gesture stopped talking as if knowing that the situation wasn't as good as they thought. Still, some were desperate that they continued shouting at him from saving their lives to bringing their children.

Felix immediately jumped off the cliff and hurriedly entered the valley. As soon as he reached the ground, he was flocked by those desperate people.

In the end, he jumped to get to a higher elevation so they could talk to them seriously.

"Shut up if you want to survive!" Felix shouted in anger.

"!!!" Most of the people shuddered in fear.

However, some still approached Felix.

"I don't need you to save me. Just please bring my child."

"I can give you all my money. Just save me from this place please!"

"I don't want to die!"

Felix gritted his teeth, annoyed by all these people. They were the ones stopping the help.

In the end, he reinforced his voice with the Magic Power so that he could shout louder. He pointed at another place and said out loud, "All soldiers or experts are to assemble in that area! This is the only chance if you want to live. The rest should stop all these people from stopping the rescue team from doing their jobs!"

"!!!" They heard hope from Felix's shout. They wanted to follow Felix's command because this might be the chance to live.

However, some of the normal citizens also mixed in as they were going to save themselves.

In the end, Theo descended with his Telekinesis and helped Felix levitate fifteen feet above the ground to avoid the masses.

"This is really beyond my ability." Felix sighed, talking to Theo.

Theo shrugged and whispered a few things to Felix as they were flying toward the designated spot.

Although some of the people were still desperate to survive, at least two hundred people were serious about this.

This was the challenge Theo needed to face in controlling these desperate masses.
