God of Tricksters

As expected from the Griffith Family, Theo's group had just gone for two hours before they caught up to them.

A volley of attacks suddenly flew into the air and fell in front of them, causing the group to stop to avoid the attacks.

"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue and turned around, seeing a few people in the air. He was sure that many were still hiding around them.

The three in the air were the ones ordering these people. In the middle, Mason stood as the supreme leader while the Poison King and the Original Theo were standing behind him.

"You won't be able to run away anymore." Mason smirked, looking down on Theo. "If this apocalypse didn't happen, the Griffith Family would surely change the owner because of you. I applaud you for your action since you're the only one who manages to shake the Griffith Family's foundation to that degree.

"However, your time has passed. It's time for the new era, and a clone like you doesn't have a place here."

The Original Theo licked his lips. "Well, it seems that there are a few useful people there. If you take that female kid who seems to be the White Death's daughter, you can control the White Death. If you take that Nagasawa Rea, you can control the Sword Saint. And after that, I'm going to devour my clone and gain everything."

"Don't worry. The Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint can't help him anymore. Even the Wind Emperor has died. No one can stop me anymore." Mason nodded in agreement.

"Haha, I'll make sure to take care of everyone you leave behind, faker, including those two girls." The Original Theo looked at them with a vulgar gaze.

"You seem to have been fucked up by those undead that your head has been replaced by your dick." Theo snorted as he stepped forward, planning to take them on. It was impossible for them to keep going unless someone stopped them, so this was the time for Theo to sacrifice himself since his group could go on with that.

"Felix. You lead the group to reach that destination. My clone won't be there for you, but at the very least, the group can survive." Theo stood as a leader, giving his last order.

"I'm afraid that the job shall be handed to Rea. I promised you back then. I'll be your sword. If you die on the battlefield, then that's where I belong. Let me accompany you for one last fight." Felix stepped forward once again. He had Millie on his back, but Millie had said something before they left Italy. 'Father, if they're going to use me to control you, I'll kill myself without hesitation. This time, I'd rather die instead of becoming a tool.'

This gave him the motivation to fight to his last breath. Although he didn't want Millie to die, he couldn't convince Millie. So, he wanted to do everything as a father who would protect his master and his daughter to the very end.

"What a touching moment. However, do you think you will be able to stop us?" Mason smirked and raised his hands. A few Mythical Rank Experts showed themselves, surrounding the group.

Rea and the others immediately took out their weapons, ready to fight. But it seemed that Theo's prediction was correct.

"Aaaaahhhhh!"

Suddenly, a person landed on the ground at fast speed to the point she crashed onto the ground, turning it into a crater.

This person shocked all of them because they didn't know someone with this kind of strength.

Surprisingly, a thin cloth flew out of Theo's body as if recognizing this person. It immediately reattached itself to this woman.

"It seems that I'm not late to the party." She smirked while waving her hand, sending all the smoke that covered her away.

The people from the Griffith Family were confused because they'd never seen someone like this. The Griffith Family people furrowed their eyebrows because they noticed that the person that had just arrived was strong.

The woman had long black hair and eyes filled with confidence. She wore a red gown with a black lower part, making her black hair look like it continued to the ground. She looked graceful, but the coldness that soon surrounded her could send a shiver down their spine.

Theo widened his eyes in shock. "You… why are you here?"

"You know her?" Rea and the others had the same question as they didn't recognize her.

The woman smirked and said, "I'm here to back you up!"

"Who are you? You dare to stop us, the Griffith Family?"

"What Griffith Family? Your ancestor is at my mercy, and you dare talk big in front of me? It seems that the later generations are far more arrogant compared to that ant." She snorted.

Mason's veins bulged on his forehead as he clenched his fist, emitting killing intent. "What did you say?"

"What a weak killing intent…" The woman smirked as she gently stepped onto the ground. "I will show you who is the one in front of you right now."

Suddenly, a huge skeletal hand rose from the ground before waving it as if trying to pull out its body that had been buried underneath. The skeleton soon came out and looked at them with bloodshot eyes.

Just its appearance alone could make one shiver in fear as if death came out of Hell to invite them in.

"I am…" The woman smirked as she activated Theo's skill at its greatest form. It was far different from what Theo could do even if he could upgrade its power to S Rank.

The bloodshot eyes emitted a red energy wave in all directions. In that instant, the ground dried up and turned gray as if all life had been depleted from within. The trees around them withered away in an instant and the leaves fell to the ground.

In a radius of two hundred feet, all living beings aside from humans had been deprived of their lives.

This action made one suck a cold breath. Even Mason's hands were shaking and sweating as if he knew the power was far too dangerous than he expected.

The woman coldly smiled and stated with a serene tone. "The ruler of Helheim… People know me as the Goddess of Death, Hel."
