God of Tricksters

After returning from Russia, Theo immediately met Rea. "How's the situation?"

"You might want to see this." Rea nodded and gave him the Skylink, showing a few pictures of the sky. There were a total of ten pictures, but each of them had a crack on it.

"This is…" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"There are five countries that are experiencing this phenomenon. They are Australia, Sweden, North Korea, Nigeria, and the Antarctic. The people are panicking, and a mass evacuation has been ordered, fearing the same thing that happened to Argelia will happen to them as well. So, there is chaos everywhere."

Rea took a deep breath. Not only in those five countries, but all countries in the world were panicking right now, thinking they would be next.

Even her father would be the same if not for Theo's warning she had been passing to him this whole time. Although they couldn't save everyone in Japan, they could fare much better compared to the rest of the world. And everything was due to Theo.

Her father's decision to become Theo's ally might truly be the one that saved the country. The same applied to all his allies.

They had made some preparations for it. So, when the situation happened, they could immediately take action.

Rea looked at Theo and bowed her body until ninety degrees. "Theo. Thank you… Thank you very much."

Theo was surprised by her action. She rarely did this because her usual bow was just to show her politeness. But this one contained endless gratitude coming from the bottom of her heart.

He looked at her for a moment before saying, "Well, you have been helping me, so I'm simply repaying you back. There's no need to thank me more than that. If you still want to thank me, help me complete our final preparation."

"Understood." Rea nodded. "Still, you managed to solve the trouble in Argelia, right? Wouldn't this make other countries ask you to solve the same problem?"

"That's not the case." Theo shook his head. "Even if they call me, I won't be able to do anything."

"Is that so? I'll stop all the calls asking for your help then."

"Yeah, just ignore them. Even I can only accept my fate when it happens. Anyway, for the last preparation, I want you to recheck all our supplies as well as our connections to our allies. Also, make sure that you ration everything since we don't know what will happen. Luckily, our position is a bit far away from the city. But won't this make us a place for the refugees to go? Will you accept them? What if they start taunting you or something?"

"That's what I'm planning to do. I'm going to camouflage our area with the last bit of energy, directing them to somewhere else. I don't care if they think of me as a cruel person or not, but I'm simply a selfish person from the very start. They're the ones misunderstanding my personality."

"Well, you never said you're a kind guy." Rea nodded in understanding. Although she was pitying those people, Theo was at the helm right now.

"If you want to hate someone, you're free to hate me. However, my decision won't change."

"I understand, Theo. I won't hate you." Rea shook her head calmly. "Anyway, I should get going."

"Yeah." Theo nodded. After getting separated from the Rea, Theo went to manipulate his territory again, creating a mirage that removed everything that had been built so far. But when they entered the area, they would realize it was just an illusion. Of course, Jeff had been working hard to fortify the area by changing the landscape. This was what he had been doing this whole time.

As for the people from his group, they could bring people they were close with to live in Theo's territory. This was the benefit of being a part of Theo's group.

Like Jeff, who brought his sister to live here, Agata also brought her father and mother and told the rest to evacuate to this place if something happened. She gave the secret passage so that they could make it here. Of course, she only gave the information to her close family, not everyone who had some blood relationship with her.

After creating the illusion, Theo went to his room to talk with the God of Mischief one last time.

It wasn't a lesson, just small talk, so this meeting could be held.

The God of Mischief and Theo sat across each other.

"So, what should I talk about…" The God of Mischief smirked.

"I don't really know. On the one hand, I have many questions for you. On the other hand, I think I can get the answer as long as I think hard enough." Theo shrugged.

"That's certainly an unpleasant feeling.' The God of Mischief closed his eyes for a moment, recounting all of his memory. He raised one finger. "Actually, I have one thing I want to tell you."

"What is it?" Theo asked.

"If I tell you that this is just a dream you're experiencing in your last moment, what do you say?" The God of Mischief smirked.

"You're talking about my state after getting rammed by the turtle? Before our meeting?"

"Yes." The God of Mischief smirked, making Theo question the question itself.

Theo looked down, contemplating. "Who knows… I'll simply turn this into my reality."

"That's what I'm talking about." The God of Mischief's expression became serious. "Do you think the clone can actually revive you? What if I tell you that the whole thing you have heard about the clone is just fake stuff?

"The whole reason why I'm asking you to be my emissary is to heal you. That's right… Your current life is actually just an image you have before you die. And the only way for me to save you is to make you experience this dream and have you get this strong so that you can turn the dream into reality…

"This is my plan to fight those people from the higher dimension. If you can turn this illusion into reality, I can put you into an illusion where you fight against those beings from the higher dimension, and you'll defeat them and turn that scene into reality. It's time for you to wake up, Theo." The God of Mischief snapped his finger.

The realm suddenly crumbled as Theo's vision turned red as if blood was covering his vision. Theo realized his breathing was short and his body felt heavy. He was sitting on the ground while watching a big turtle coming straight to him, planning to ram him.

It was then he saw the message from the God of Mischief.

[It's time for you to rise up again, O' Joker.]
