God of Tricksters

US Base.

The Time God was meditating like the Heavenly Sovereign. After that incident, the government lost the public's trust.

Although they hadn't been destroyed yet due to the need for a government to grow the base, their power had been severely weakened.

Even the current president had a hard time holding his power since there was a rumor about his impeachment.

But no matter who the president was, the government's strength wouldn't be the same anymore.

Unless Theo helped them to restore the people's faith in the government, it would be close to impossible for them to hold power anymore.

Since he had done his job, he returned to his home, waiting for another job. But this time, the government wouldn't be able to order him like usual.

They wouldn't even visit him, considering he would be the one bossing them around this time.

The Time God opened his eyes and walked toward his book. He couldn't help but read it again.

This book was a kind of his autobiography, considering the future him was the one writing this. But because it also wrote about future events, he called this book a prophecy book instead of a biography.

He narrowed his eyes after reading a few lines. As it had been stated, the government lost their power because they fought against him.

He had told the previous president not to antagonize Theo. The previous president took that warning seriously and even told the next president about it.

However, the next president decided not to take it seriously. And now that the previous president had passed away due to illness, the current president ended up destroying the government.

"Everything has begun to move and the string of fate is flickering. This world only has one fate. It's to be destroyed. And the only one who can change it is Theodore Griffith, the man who is trying to break free from fate's grasp.

"Even the time can't calculate him as if he doesn't exist…" The Time God fell silent. "It seems that I have to consider my actions properly this time… One wrong move will result in a disaster."

The Time God's expression turned serious as if he had seen something.

"Anyway, it seems the time for me to unfreeze my ability will come soon. I want to see who will be my opponent…" The Time God smiled. "Who will be my opponent at that time? I'm looking forward to it."

The Time God and the Heavenly Sovereign weren't the only ones who made the final preparation.

Since there were a lot of things that would happen in the next year, Theo also made his preparations.

Others thought Theo was inside his hideout, waiting for another big event for him to make his move. But the people in Theo's base believed Theo was roaming around to raise his levels.

They weren't aware of Theo's objective and true whereabouts.

It took him a whole week to finally reach his destination. Even with his strength, it wasn't an easy trip, considering he had to constantly fight against monsters. He even met a few King Class Monsters and one World Class Monster.

Luckily, he managed to negotiate with them and passed without any fuss.

It was truly a dangerous trip.

Still, he had reached his destination.

He looked at the familiar garden, houses, and flying temple in the sky.

That was right. His destination this time was none other than his previous base, where Hel stayed.

As a Saint, Theo had the ability to cross the sea with his own ability. Even without the use of Maya's airplane, he could simply kill all the threats on his way.

Of course, the other Saints might not be able to do it, considering Theo outsmarted a few King Class Monsters and a World Class Monster to give him a safe passage. If others were to cross the ocean, they might be attacked by them.

After reaching his destination, he walked past the barrier and finally entered his previous base.

As if expecting Theo to come back to her, a skeleton suddenly came out of the ground and bowed to him. It extended its hand as if asking him to go forward.

Theo carefully walked forward as the skeleton guided him to the temple where he used to stay.

It seemed Hel had been staying in his temple after they left this place.

As soon as he reached the temple, he could feel Hel's presence inside. He carefully opened it and saw the black-haired beauty.

Surprisingly, this time, she didn't use her Death Armor to mask her rotten skin.

She was actually using her real appearance to talk to Theo.

"I have been waiting for you." The Goddess of Death looked at the spot in front of her and said, "Sit."

Theo nodded and sat at the spot she pointed at earlier.

His expression was serious as he planned to bring up a few concerns.

"I don't think I need to say the reason why I've come here…"

Hel nodded. "It seems that you're already aware of it."

"Yes. Though, I'm here also to ask you something."

"You don't have to worry. I have recovered my power and if the opportunity is aligned, I'll be there to help you."

"Thank you." Theo nodded. The atmosphere became awkward since he was asking for a favor.

Meanwhile, Hel changed back the topic. "Still, the other side has collapsed… Or should I say the original world has collapsed. What remains has been absorbed by this realm. There is no way for you to go there."

Theo shook his head. "I'm not planning to go there."

"If you don't want to go there, then why would you come to me?"

"I'm planning to recreate the other realm."

Hel paused as if she was surprised. After a while, she said, "It's impossible to do it. You lack a lot of things. In the past, he brought over dozens of Saints to create this realm.

"And now, you don't even have Life Order, let alone other Big Orders and a few normal Orders."

Theo was aware of it, but he still looked at Hel with determination as if insisting he wanted the way. He believed Hel had a way.

Hel let out a long sigh as if she had given up. "He has left a clue in the place that once wasn't in both realms."
