God of Tricksters

"Attack. Attack!"

Leonardo commanded while staring at the battlefield. It had been ten hours since the battle began. There were a lot of casualties on both sides, but because Theo had eliminated most of the threats, they managed to keep the casualty minimal.

Flora had also eliminated all strong mutated monsters, leaving the rest for the people to conserve her energy. At the same time, the pope had been healing the people tirelessly, saving those who could be saved.

These four were the biggest contributors to this war. Although the war would continue for a while, the union wouldn't collapse with this.

Since the war also lasted long enough, the Dark King and the Shaman King also had the chance to recover their Magic Power.

Eventually, Theo gave an Order to all monsters. "Retreat!"

After fighting for a long time, even the Dark King thought it was better to stop there. He also didn't want his people to die needlessly. He instantly returned to the group while preparing to return.

This movement startled the human side because they had fought with the monsters for quite a while. They thought that the monsters weren't that scary at all since they helped them from being destroyed.

Obviously, Leonardo and all Transcendent Level Experts from the union turned their heads to them, knowing what Theo planned to do.

Without hesitation, they came to Theo to confirm his intention.

Flora was the one leading them while the Great Guardian, the War Saint, and the Princess were standing behind her. If only they had the pope and the Empress, who remained in the rear, it would be an extraordinary lineup.

However, Theo wasn't losing either.

Theo stood in the front with Felix and the five Monster Kings standing behind him to back him up.

If both sides clashed, no one could tell what would happen. Theo might not be as strong as Flora right now, but he was certainly approaching her strength.

"You're going back?" Flora was the first to open her mouth, asking with a cold tone.

"Yes. There is nothing more I want to do." Theo's words were sharp and acted as proof of the betrayal.

"…" Flora paused for a moment, hesitating. If she could rewind time, she would have chosen Theo from the beginning. The only reason why she hadn't died in this battle was because Theo deemed she was still useful to protect the War God Family and his allies in this place. "Can you wait until we eradicate all mutated monsters for the sake of the people?"

"!!!" Rea gritted her teeth when hearing that shameless question. She couldn't help but shout, "For the sake of the people? You have the nerve to say those words when you were the one betraying him after taking advantage of him?

"The union's system was made based on his idea. Yet, after getting it, you threw him away! You even allowed those people to smear his name by using that fake video and allowed the Griffith Family to hunt him down.

"If not for his ability, do you think we would have survived? NO! You—" Rea's outburst was normal from people's perspective. This also showed what was happening behind the scene.

But Rea was Theo's assistant. She had been training under Theo for a long time, so she knew what to say and when she should reveal everything.

The people's eyes were already staring at them when the monsters were retreating, so people's curiosity rose.

Theo would be breaking his character if he was the one letting out that outburst, so she took his role and revealed all that information. No matter how hard the people saw it, they would think Rea's reaction was normal.

If Flora dared to stop them from leaving after all this help, then there was nothing that would stop Theo from creating another war, this time, with the union. When that happened, the union would be razed to the ground.

Of course, Theo knew when to stop Rea. He acted like he was surprised by her outburst, but he stopped her before she let out too much information that could confuse people.

"Rea, stop it." Theo raised his hand in front of Rea to calm her down.

"But…" Rea didn't seem to be planning to stop.

However, Theo shook his head with a calm expression and said, "It's enough. We have done our parts, so it's time for us to go back. Stand down."

"…" Rea closed her eyes while taking a few deep breaths before following Theo's order. The people didn't realize that this was only an act, but their opinions had truly changed. With so many people witnessing it and some even recording it, it would be hard for the union to stop the crazy feedback from the citizens.

Theo simply asked Flora. "Do you think I will do it because you simply said so? For the people? Do you for the people who once thought of me as nothing with just a single video?

"Either way, we're going back. Are you going to stop us?"

Flora couldn't say anything. The Great Guardian and the Princess weren't that involved in this matter, but they didn't say anything about this case. Leonardo knew that Theo was the one driving the original Theo to kill the people. At first, he couldn't accept it either, but after seeing the original Theo's improvement, he began to wonder whether what Theo said about a being in a higher dimension was real or not.

Seeing there was no reaction from them, Theo raised his hand and said to all the monsters. "Everyone. Retreat!"

*Cry!*

The Sky King let out a cry, followed by a series of roars from the monsters as if cheering for their victory. The sound was so loud that the ground was shaking, but more importantly, no one would be able to forget this one scene where a human they once threw away became their savior by joining hands with their old enemies.

The monsters turned around and began to return to their home while making a loud noise as if they were laughing at the foolish humans who threw their hero.
