God of Tricksters

After giving his order to Rea, Theo finally left the US Base.

"Hmm…" Theo looked at the map of Mexico. "This is troublesome. Mexico is big, so I don't know where to find it. Well, I can kinda locate it one way or another, but it might take a bit too long.

"There is also a problem with a World Class Monster. I don't really want to get into any conflict with this guy."

Theo narrowed his eyes. "In any case, I have a time limit."

Without wasting any more seconds, he rushed toward Mexico from his current position. He had to cross multiple states after all, and all of them were filled with monsters. So, he had to be fast.

Theo also couldn't save the people he found on the way. Though, he didn't mind killing as many monsters as possible during his trip.

Not only could it help the people around that area, but he could also gain some levels.

Theo glanced at his current level after going through many things.

"Hmm, I'm 20 levels away from level 900. As expected, leveling up from above level 850 is quite hard. There are rarely monsters this strong, and even if there are monsters like this, they're General Class Monsters or even stronger.

"So, killing them will cause a lot of problems, and it might notify the King Class Monster in that area.

"Although it's quite good to be able to kill more monsters, especially the King Class Monster, the excessive killing will cause more problems such as the lack of orders, both the Order from the world and the order that the King Class Monster had maintained in his territory.

"So, I have to kill normal or elite class monsters most of the time. I wonder if the World Class Monster in Mexico will stop me. If that's the case, I think I can use that chance to level up to 900.

"After all, the World Class Monster would try to hunt me down," Theo muttered inwardly, thinking about his course of action in Mexico.

Still, fighting a World Class Monster meant fighting his entire territory. Unless the World Class Monster wanted a fair duel between them, there was no way he wouldn't be interrupted by other monsters.

Multiple King Class Monsters would besiege him, and other monsters would hinder his movements. So, fighting the World Class Monster without a plan was simply a foolish move.

This was also why the Death Reaper and the Fist Saint tried to make weapons of mass destruction to help them in the fight. Those weapons could hinder the Frost Saint and stop the King Class Monsters from interfering. Although he only destroyed one of them, he knew there were a few weapons like that scattered around.

So, Theo knew it would be impossible for him to fight the World Class Monster by himself. Due to this reason, Clone Theo, who had been meditating to stabilize his power, opened his eyes and came out of his temple.

He walked down the stairs and immediately headed to Hel's house.

As if expecting him to come, Hel opened the door with her Magic Power and allowed him to enter.

Theo walked carefully and found Hel sitting on the floor, meditating. The house was filled with skeletons who took care of the chores in the house.

"You want to talk to me, right? Is it time for you to leave?" Hel asked.

"Unfortunately, yes. I didn't expect that the situation would be this bad." Theo sighed and sat down in front of Hel. "So, I'm wondering if you're going to stay here or not."

Hel smiled and said, "I believe you have heard about my legend, right?"

"…" Theo paused for a moment, recalling her myth. There was one thing that clicked in his mind. This one particular record seemed to answer his doubt.

"I see." Theo sighed. "It was said that among his children, you were the most uninterested in the world's affairs. What you wanted was to live together with those who understood you the most… the undead. That was why you were given Helheim."

"They didn't give me. They threw me away. Though, I didn't really mind at that time… And right now, I have to wait for a little longer. I believe there is going to be a great change in the world. And at that time, I'll make my move.

"I"m sorry, but I'm not going to do anything for the time being. This world doesn't need the relic of the past. They need you to lead the future." Hel smiled.

"Is that so?" Theo was a bit disappointed, but he didn't try to change Hel's mind. He looked into her eyes before politely bowing to her. "Thank you for everything you've done for me. From teaching me to protecting me, I'm glad that you're there."

"What's this? It feels like you're trying not to meet me anymore." Hel chuckled.

"Haha, of course not. I believe we'll meet soon. Two to three years at the latest. After all, you don't mind coming into my marriage, right?"

"Of course, if you invite me. And congratulations."

"I'll be looking forward to the day I meet you again. And I'm afraid that the moment we meet, you're going to come with him…" Theo smirked.

"It seems we think alike." Hel patted Theo's shoulder and said, "Still, remember this before you go.

"Right now, the world doesn't have Helheim or any other Hell. So, the moment you die, your soul will be lost, not going to Valhalla nor to Reincarnation. That's why you have to treat life more gently."

"I know. But don't say it like I'm going to die." Theo chuckled. "Even if I'm going to die, I shall change that reality. After all, I'm the Reality Saint."

"No. That's not right, Theo. I didn't mean you're going to die." Hel smiled. "After all, in my eyes, you are not a Reality Saint. We didn't have those terms back then. Instead, you are the God of Reality, Theodore Griffith. I'm proud of you. Keep doing what you believe is right."

Theo's body trembled a bit. Hel was a kind of older sister's figure as well as his mentor, so calling him the God of Reality like the reflection of the people in the past meant she recognized him as a full-grown adult. In her eyes, they had become equal. This was the highest recognition he could get from Hel.

This praise put a smile on his face as he said, "Then, it's time for me to go. Take care, will you?"

"See you later."
