God of Tricksters

"How's the situation out there?" Theo asked Yermolayev.

"We have gathered a total of 25 Mythical Rank Experts, 100 Supreme Rank Experts, and 1,000 Hero Rank Experts or below. I believe this is the extent we can get with the current situation. Not many want to follow us."

"It's pretty good, considering you've got all those Mythical Rank Experts. I believe that around thirty to forty percent of them are just leeching you off right now, but it's fine. Their perspective will change." Theo shrugged.

"Well, some of them are sent by our ally, so I wonder if I truly can't say anything regarding our plan to my closest ally?"

"Unfortunately, I don't think I can allow you to do it. The limit I can do right now is to allow you to bring some of them in." Theo shook his head. "It's not that I don't trust you, but the more people know about this, the more serious the matter will become. Even I don't have any confidence I can escape in the near future. So, I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine. I can understand. Although I don't know what you're talking about, it seems to be serious. As much as I want to disregard you in that area, there's one fact I can't ignore. It's the connection between you and the Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint. I don't think they're helping you for nothing. So, I'd like to trust you right now." Yermolayev nodded in understanding.

Although he had the urge to repay his ally for being an ally no matter the situation, he couldn't really do much.

Theo nodded. "Thanks for the trust. Well, with this, my job here is done. I'm going to return to Italy to complete my final preparation."

"I understand. As much as I want to see you off, I think it's better if I stay here, right?"

"Yeah." Theo rose from the chair and disguised himself easily as he started walking away. "Take care."

"You too."

Theo waved his hand and left. On the way to the airport, Theo sent a message to Rea.

"Send the message to your father to prepare for the worst, I don't know how much time we have, but it won't be too long."

Rea's reply came not long after as if she had been paying attention to her Skylink, waiting for his message.

"I understand. Your tickets and other stuff have been taken care of, so you can go back immediately. Also, there are a few people asking about you. The first one is your grandfather, the second guy is the pope, and the third person is Zhao Jia, the Heavenly Sovereign's disciples."

"Do you know what they want to talk about?"

"Your grandfather simply toured around just to check your preparation while informing us that he has finished his own. As for the pope, he wants to ask you whether it's alright to send their Saintess to you, hoping you can take care of them if the worst truly happens. Last but not least, Zhao Jia wants to confirm the situation. It seems the Heavenly Sovereign has asked her to do it."

"Well, since Grandfather has probably returned to the War God Family, just tell him that we're going to be fine and I hope we can contact each other after the situation settles down for a bit." Theo paused for a moment, wondering what to do with the other two.

"I don't mind having Enrica since Agata is her childhood friend. Tell him he can send her as long as she can agree to completely follow my decisions no matter what. The moment she disobeys me is the day I'll kick her out. Also, don't bring anyone else other than Enrica, I don't like dealing with holy knights or priests. It's not that I dislike religion, I just don't want someone interfering with my decision when we're in crisis.

"Last but not least, tell that woman to go back to her master. The sign is there, but we don't know when it'll happen. I'm pretty sure that it's going to happen, so the only question is when. Hence, it's better for them to get together to know what they're going to do."

Seeing the message, Rea immediately acknowledged his command and relayed the message to all related people.

Meanwhile, Theo let out a long sigh after giving his order. Since he had finished all the procedures, he immediately boarded the airplane, knowing this might be the last time he would fly for a while.

While looking at the window, Theo muttered inwardly, 'Things are going to be chaotic soon. Isaac reports that the Magic Power in Italy has been rising constantly. Since only a few days pass, only those with high sensitivity can feel it. But the fact that they're raising means there's a chance the Magic Power is leaking from the other side.

'After all, the Magic Power there is denser than this side. The fact that they're leaking means the Spatial Rift, the layer that separates the two realms, is in a mess.

'As expected, the cause of this time apocalypse is the Spatial Rift. I don't know what will happen if the Spatial Rift is gone and the two realms merge into one. The other side has Magic Power and beasts, while this side has technology and humans. If they merge…'

Theo let out a long sigh. All kinds of things could happen, so he didn't dare to imagine. No, he just found no point in thinking about all possibilities. Even his Reality Eyes had been tingling. He had seen some realities getting destroyed.

'Ah, right! Now that I think about it, if the Spatial Rift collapses, doesn't that mean the souls in the Spatial Rift will disappear? After all, they have no place to stay in this world. This might be the last time I'll meet the God of Mischief… But knowing how shrewd he is, he should know about it and make some preparations.'

When Theo thought about it, the God of Mischief obviously saw it and replied.

[You goddamn right. I've been waiting for this. Don't worry about me. I've made some preparations, but I won't tell you anything about it. Still, do you want to meet me for one last time?]
