God of Tricksters

"It's alright. It'll only take around one week. During that time, I can fully recover while understanding the situation. After going to your place, we can begin constructing the tunnel." Theo explained with a serious expression.

The Space Saint contemplated again. Everything was going smoothly. Although Theo put up a few conditions here and there, it wasn't something he couldn't agree on.

He could also understand why Theo mentioned all those conditions, considering he was basically asking Theo a favor. He even wanted to kidnap Theo earlier.

The latter might even hold a grudge because he didn't help him. So, there were a lot of things to consider.

Hence, the Space Saint had to agree with the condition, knowing that it was better to fulfill Theo's condition than to let Theo leave.

Seeing how he made a perfect clone, the Space Saint knew that it was possible for Theo to escape.

After some consideration, he finally nodded his head. "Alright. Let's do it your way, Reality Saint. But you have to stay here for a few hours since I'm planning to go back to get all the information. If you are not here when I come back…"

The Space Saint narrowed his eyes as if threatening him with the lives of all people in that base.

Theo shrugged while smiling. "I'll be here recovering. Though, I might wander around a bit to kill the ones that dare to disturb my recovery."

"I know." The Space Saint agreed.

They looked at each other for a moment before the Space Saint used his power to teleport himself somewhere else.

Meanwhile, Theo closed his eyes for a moment, recounting the agreement. The smile he had contained this whole time couldn't help but appear.

'This is good. To think there is someone who wants to create the tunnel again. In that case, I'll fully support him until the tunnel is complete.

'According to Theodon, it seems that the other world still exists in another dimension. Though, only a part of it remains. The world might still be intact, but the monsters might not find the Magic Power anymore…

'In other words, the moment they go there, they might not be able to come back here. It's the perfect place to exile things.'

It felt like there was a door opened for him. The door with countless possibilities within.

He knew this door was one of the options to defeat the slime.

The Space Saint might not be trying to help humans when constructing this tunnel. But now that he had invited Theo to the project, he ended up helping them, albeit the person himself didn't realize it.

He was just a pawn in Theo's hand, working for him.

'This is good.' Theo smiled. He could finally find some ways to fight back against the slime.

It included the condition he put earlier. Theo had been stressed out by how to stop the slime's invasion, but he had a solution through this condition.

…

A few days later.

Theo arrived at the forest where one of his strongest allies resided.

He was standing at a blue-colored hill. The hill was alive as it sensed Theo's presence and gradually rose, showing its true appearance.

"To think you would visit me again… It's been a while, Theodore Griffith."

"Yeah. It's been a while, Frost Saint."

Yes, Theo was actually visiting the Frost Saint.

The Frost Saint noticed the change in Theo's power and couldn't help but smile. "It seems that you've worked hard. To think you would reach this level within a few years. Even I'm speechless."

"I'm just lucky." Theo shrugged.

"Even a Fortune Saint can't have your speed." The Frost Saint shook his head. He paused for a moment as his expression turned serious. "You never visit me without needing something. So, speak."

Theo scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Well, I will visit you when all this is over so that we can have a peaceful talk. But yes, today, I need your help."

"Care to explain the situation?"

Theo nodded. He didn't hesitate to talk about the current situation, including the slime's power. He even mentioned how the Lightning Saint planned to help him.

He hoped that the Frost Saint could help him. Before, he didn't know how to bring the Frost Saint to another continent, but with the help of the Space Saint, he finally had a way.

Unfortunately, the answer wasn't something he liked to hear.

The Frost Saint shook his head regretfully. "I'm afraid I can't help you with this, Reality Saint."

Theo's eyebrows twitched. He was disappointed, but he couldn't force him to participate. Though, he still had to understand why he was rejected. "Why do you not want to fight the slime and save the world, Frost Saint?"

"It's not that I don't want to save the world. It's true that this chance can be used to further enhance the relationship between monsters and humans.

"But when you're progressing too fast, you'll end up missing a few details. For example, if we continue to protect your race, your race will end up using us more and more, expecting that we'll always come to your rescue. I'm sure you understand that more than anyone else."

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose. Of course he knew. Humans would try to find a way to use them. After all, their power was simply too big. There was no way human greed wouldn't be ignited by this power.

They could create a bad reputation for the monsters if they didn't cooperate, so it was better to agree with their proposal. In the end, they would get blackmailed for the rest of their lives until the war between monsters and humans continued.

That was why he chose to believe in Theo to create a union since Theo would create a perfect relationship over time.

In other words, human nature was the one that actually harmed them.

Theo sighed in disappointment. "As expected, I guess it's impossible to ask you…"

The Frost Saint looked at Theo's expression, pitying him. He knew how big of a burden Theo had on his shoulder.

"Although I can't help you, there is someone that you can ask. He might be a King, but his power and strength are enough to reach the Saint Level. You might want to give him a little push so that he can become a Saint and fight with you for a period of time."
