God of Tricksters

"As a detective huh." Phyrill closed his eyes with a smile.

That was right. Phyrill had promised Ellen to never go back to the dark side like how his family operated. But it was true that his ability revolved around there.

Hence, Theo planned to place Phyrill in this area but still respected his choice. The job was none other than a detective.

With the threat from the Griffith Family, especially the Poison King, Phyrill's job was an insignificant one.

Phyrill would be sniffing around in all kinds of criminal cases and solving them like police. But Phyrill still worked in the dark instead of cooperating with the police.

As for the information, Akbar could easily set it up.

Theo also had come to an agreement with China and decided to pull Akbar to Italy and set up an information network with this country as the center. Of course, it would mean that Akbar's influence was weakened, but in exchange, he could focus on these countries to ensure no information could escape his eyes.

Hence, Phyrill could work as a detective. Even Isaac and Millie could help him with their own expertise.

On the other hand, Ellen would be bored in the house alone, so she also started finding a job suited for her.

Surprisingly, Leonardo planned to take her in so that she could grow a bit. Two personalities turned out to be something that Leonardo sought. Other than using two abilities at once, two personalities could be used as a strategist since both people would give two different plans, giving them more options to choose from.

Of course, Theo also started his class in exchange for Leonardo's support. He was actually teaching the people from the War God Family.

But with his busy schedule, Leonardo and Theo agreed that Theo only needed to teach four days every month, and Theo could use his clone to do it. So, it wasn't that much of a problem. It was a small price to pay for the War Saint's support.

This was the state of Theo's group after settling down in Italy.

Still, Theo needed to carefully plan his move in the next one year since the next attack would begin with an apocalyptic event. Even if he could understand the severity of what would come, he didn't know what would actually happen.

Theo looked at Phyrill and said, "Well, I'm going to be able to prepare a torture chamber made of illusion, so it's not like you are going to dirty your hand anymore. With this room, you should be able to do it by manipulating the illusion. I'm sure that you're fine with this, right?"

"Of course. After all, it's your illusion. And thank you for your consideration…" Phyrill nodded. Theo had truly done much for him. Not only did he respect his decision, but he also took him in that condition. This job was truly perfect for him. Though, for Theo, his calm and unbiased opinion in front of a great danger was the one that charmed him, making him believe this job suited him the most.

Theo nodded. "If that's the case, I hope that you have a great day around here." Theo smiled.

"By the way, what are you planning to do after now?" Phyrill asked. "I don't know much about the situation, but I think we're in a bad situation, right?"

"Yeah. That's why I'm going to turn this place into a fortress. As for my plan, I'm not planning to do something big because I know that the enemies are waiting for the right time to attack us. I'm simply increasing our strength for the time being."

"I see. I wish you luck." Phyrill waved his hand.

Theo waved back, seeing him off.

Now that no one disturbed him anymore, Theo stood in the middle of the training hall he had created in his territory. The hall was similar to a soccer field but without spectators' seats.

He sat down in the middle of the arena while closing his eyes.

"Before everything happens, I have three goals that I want to achieve. The first one is none other than some levels as well as A Rank Skill Cards, which I can save to upgrade my skill ranks sooner or later. I have sent my clone out there. Even if other countries put surveillance on me, they won't be able to find my clone since the disguise is perfect. The leveling speed will be far lower, but it'll be good if I can raise ten levels every month. By the time the apocalypse starts, I will be level 800 to 850, if not more.

"Then, the second goal is none other than my Five Aspects. Among my five Aspects, I have reached Perfect Control and Future Vision, which means I have mastered both aspects. So, I'm going to focus on my third aspect and, if possible, master it.

"So, which one should I focus on, Breathing, Endurance, or Technique? My Endurance is boosted by Supernatural Snake Body. Right now, my metabolism is better than normal since a wound will normally heal in a day instead of a few days. But it's nowhere near the level of the people who can turn their bodies into flames or something.

"As for Technique, I have Irregular Guardian, but it's still only at Original Technique level right now. I have to research more if I want to improve it to Divine Technique. That leaves Breathing.

"Loki has promised to teach me Breathing, but has he forgotten about it? I mean, the last meeting was called the Last Lesson… That means I won't get to learn anything from him anymore…"

Theo fell silent for a moment. "No, the God of Mischief can lie, but he is not someone who breaks a promise. I know that because he's a man who will get his job done in one way or another. In other words, he has taught me the breathing technique. Then, when?"

Theo furrowed his eyebrows, recounting everything he said about Breathing. "Now that I think about it, the God of Mischief said he needs me to have an Order first to master this Breathing Technique. Wait, don't tell me…"
