God of Tricksters

"Isaac."

"Isaac."

A familiar voice kept echoing in his ears, waking Isaac from his slumber.

"Mhm?" Isaac gradually opened his eyes and saw Levina standing in front of him. She was pointing to the side, making him follow the direction.

Surprisingly, Theo and Walker were standing right outside the room.

"It seems that you are having a good time, Isaac. To think that you're enjoying yourself here while we're fighting our way here." Walker smirked.

"Wha—!" Levina fidgeted before trying to explain. "I haven't done anything."

Isaac was still half asleep, so it took him a moment to understand what Walker said. He hurriedly rose from the bed. "No, no. What are you thinking? You're misunderstanding everything."

"Whatever. It's good that you're safe. And I can also find another acquaintance." Theo let out a long sigh. "Either way, we're going back immediately. We don't have that much time in this place."

"Understood. Give me a few minutes, I'll pack everything up." Isaac nodded with a serious expression.

"Why are you in a hurry?" Levina didn't understand Theo's situation, so she asked innocently. Since they had been stranded here in this situation, there should be no need to rush like that.

Theo shook his head, not explaining the reason to her.

Walker and Isaac obviously knew that Theo was rushing because he couldn't leave the base for too long. This apocalypse was caused by their enemy, so it was clear that they might take advantage of this situation to attack their base. This wasn't something Theo desired.

Of course, they had to make sure whether the enemies were separated or not. Hence, Theo's action right now was quite risky.

After getting prepared, Theo immediately led them out of the city, heading back to Italy.

Compared to what had happened in the previous few days, the city had grown far quieter. The monsters seemed to have settled down, and the humans who still survived chose not to show themselves. Some groups were still fighting, but their effort was futile because, in the end, they were just small groups.

On the way, Theo asked, "Have you researched the situation right now, Isaac?"

Isaac nodded. "There are five points that I want to tell you. The first thing will be about the system. We can't access it anymore. In fact, we have no way to connect with the people who gave us blessings.

"However, after getting some information from Levina, the system itself still exists. We just can't connect it. In other words, we can level up, but we can't access the Attribute Points. Do you know what this means?"

"Well, it seems that humans have to evolve once again." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"Exactly. Right now, Mythical Rank Experts are going to be a hot commodity, the stronger you are, the better. This is just my conjecture, but after this, no humans can increase their Magic Power anymore. As for other status points like Strength and the others… They can still enhance those to a certain degree with drugs and training. But Magic Power, I don't think it's possible for the time being.

"Hence, humans are going to evolve by using the current Magic Power in one's body. In other words, if you want to have a talented child, you have to marry a Mythical Rank Expert. This is probably what's going to happen in the next few decades.

"At the same time, we can't really retain the number of Mythical Rank Experts because we have to fight against those monsters. If we don't unite, all of our people are going to be wiped out, especially the talented ones."

Theo nodded in understanding. "That's going to be a problem, especially since the world's population has been thinned out. Do you forget the fact that there are only ten thousand Mythical Rank Experts in the world? With the current situation, I'm afraid there are only five thousand left and the number will keep decreasing."

"Yeah. But it's not like everything is bad. Now that the Magic Power has become as dense as the other side, the child will still be better than your average child in the current era."

"I see. Then, continue to the second one."

"Alright." Isaac nodded with a serious expression. "The second one is that… It seems that the Skill Card Function can't be used anymore. If we kill monsters, we won't be able to gain Skill Cards anymore. If that's the case, Five Aspects are going to be extremely important right now."

"Eh?" Walker widened his eyes in shock and glanced at Theo. "But the monsters dropped…"

Walker didn't finish his words because he finally realized what his words meant. Theo had the ability to open the system, so with the current situation, Theo was the only one to be able to access the old power system.

"For real?" Isaac sucked a cold breath and stared at Theo in shock. Even without the full context, he understood what Walker was about to say.

Theo sighed and explained. "Don't tell anyone about it. Besides, if I'm gone, it's not going to be relevant anymore unless I teach them how to use it. In the end, humans have to adapt to the current situation."

"I understand." There were many things he wanted to ask about Theo, but it seemed the latter didn't want to talk about it. He could understand him since there might be people aiming for Theo's life for this no matter what way they had to get it. Even his allies might turn into an enemy. With Agata staying in a foreign land, it wasn't an option.

"Anyway, I now understand them. Since the old power system can't work anymore, humanity should start finding a solution to the current situation. If that's the case, research is going to be important. There are many people from around the world here, so their specialty in Five Aspects is different. If we gather them and focus on researching the Five Aspects, we can save humanity from declining." Theo explained. "So, what's the third?"

"The third…" Isaac lowered his head, looking concerned.
