God of Tricksters

"Sorry, but I have to go," said Theo to Agata.

Agata took a deep breath, understanding his action. "Alright. I can't stop you. Just be careful out there."

"Yep. I'll try to go back before breakfast tomorrow!"

"Got it."

Theo smiled and gave a peck to her forehead before jumping off the plane.

He just let his body fall as long as possible before using his Telekinesis to slow him down until he floated a few hundred feet above the ground.

After that, Theo descended to the ground while checking his surroundings, making sure no monsters came out to attack him. Of course, he also shrouded himself in illusion, making him look invisible.

Though, it was just an illusion of an empty blue sky. Some monsters who were focusing on him might realize the chance when he was near the ground, but at that time, not many monsters were aware of him.

'There is no monster around me.' Theo muttered while taking out his Skylink to record the whole thing.

Then, he began to approach the area where the crabs were taking care of their business, wondering if there was a King Class Monster or, even worse, a World Class Monster in the area.

This kind of situation wouldn't occur without an order from them after all. Even a General Class Monster wouldn't do anything.

'What are they planning with the trash though?' Theo muttered inwardly before standing a few hundred feet from the area. He was standing inside a tower that allowed him to take a close look at their operation.

As expected, the crabs were huge, and they all brought all kinds of trash from the sea.

'Hmm? I wonder who is the one ordering them? There should be movements all around the world, right? If that's the case, unless it's a World Class Monster who is giving the order, I think it's not possible to do an operation at this scale.

"No, if it's affecting the entire world, I'm afraid this is not the work of a single World Class Monster. There should be multiple of them…" Theo's expression darkened.

He might be able to handle a single World Class Monster with his clone, but he couldn't fight more than one.

'Then, should I ask the Time God to participate in this battle? But we don't know what they're planning to do yet."

Theo paused for a moment and found the mountain of trash. They gathered all the trash in one spot, making it a tall mountain. If they continued this way, they would surely create a mountain made of trash.

'Oh, boy. A mountain made of trash… and most of them are plastic. This is going to be disgusting.'

Theo watched the crabs carefully. As soon as they arrived at their spots, they climbed the mountain and dropped the trash from the top.

This way, the trash would start to fall down to the bottom and reinforce it. After a while, the height started to increase and the diameter of this mountain grew.

'From the looks of it, in one day, the mountain will be 200 feet high and have a 600 feet radius. This is not a joke… What will happen if we wait for another few days or weeks? If we don't even know this has been built up, we'll be in danger.

'And I still don't know what they're planning to do with the trash. As for the amount of trash they have… Oh, boy. I can't imagine how much trash humans have thrown into the sea…

'Should I even bother to solve this? Considering the humans are the ones who caused this thing to happen? Either way, we're in Florida right now. If I understand them correctly, they're aiming at either Kentucky or the big base.

'For now, I'll observe their movement and see whether they have someone ordering them or not.'

Theo took a deep breath and kept the camera rolling while he hid himself inside. He had also spread his Awareness to make sure no one found him.

As expected, the growth of the mountain was truly terrifying. However, Theo also found something even more horrifying than the mountain.

The fishes began to appear a few hours later. They were spurting out water from their mouths, which seemed to carry some trash as well.

In other words, the fish were trying to help the crabs to do their jobs.

But that wasn't the worst one. Theo had seen some fishes had mutated to the point they could breathe on the land. They flapped their bodies from one place to another, traveling on the land.

Some of them even had legs that allowed them to move on the land. Although the legs were short and it couldn't move too fast, it was clear that the fish had begun to transform.

And Theo knew the cause of this transformation. It was as he feared.

Some of the fish actually had their bodies punctured by the plastic. Most of it was bigger plastic like bottles or sharp ones like plastic utensils.

Their bodies had fused with the trash. Theo could imagine how the fish swallowed the trash and ended up injuring their bodies.

But the fusion between the two realms had made the fish stronger, causing them to remain alive even with such an injury. After a while, the fish began to recover and the punctured area ended up regrowing its flesh, assimilating itself with the plastic.

It was a horrifying scene.

Theo could understand if a World Class Monster wanted to destroy the humans because of this trash. If a huge number of people got harmed this way, even the humans wouldn't stand still, especially if they saw kids or elderly had their bodies transformed like this.

After two years, there were simply too many fish that had devoured this trash and the monsters had enough. This time, they were going to fight the humans for the damage they had caused to their world.

And Theo had to choose whether to help the wrong ones, which were the humans, or the victims, the sea creatures.
