God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 1425 Unexpected Decision!

"I don't mind showing something, but I won't hold any responsibility for what will happen after this." Theo's smile was like a gentle guy who warned them out of his kindness. But everyone could see the hidden intention behind that smile.

*Cough!* The old man couldn't help but ask, "If I may know, what are you planning to show?"

"Their deaths, I think. Don't worry, they won't be dying more than ten times."

"Their deaths?" They were stunned.

"What's wrong? You have to learn how to die and experience the pain to get used to it. If you're accustomed to your deaths, you won't fear anything." Theo smiled brightly.

"This…" The old man hesitated because he didn't know how it would affect his people.

"Don't worry. The death won't be that painful. Maybe like gouging their eyes, skinning them alive, or slicing their bodies into pieces. With my illusion, I can make them experience pain similar to that as well.

"I know that I won't give them trauma since I won't be showing them death with a thousand mice eating you, filled with insects, or even taking out your nails with rusty nails. I'll be merciful." Theo smiled from ear to ear.

"…" The people gasped. Even they couldn't imagine the pain they had to suffer with the former, let alone the latter. Their bodies were having cold sweat as their faces became pale. All they wanted to do now was scream to reject the offer.

"You know that kind of pain? Don't tell me you…" The Heavenly Sovereign looked at Theo with a suspicious gaze.

"What's wrong? I often had nothing to eat for a whole week and almost died many times since I was seven years old." Theo maintained his smile. But everyone could only see him as a devil that wanted to let them experience the same pain.

"…" The old man from the Shibuya Clan made a wry smile and said, "I think it's better if they don't experience it. They're talented people of the clan, so I don't want them to suffer heavy trauma. Thank you for your kind intention though."

"See? It's not me who doesn't want to show them anything. It's him who doesn't want me to show it." Theo looked at the Heavenly Sovereign with a smug.

"…" This time, the Heavenly Sovereign was speechless. He realized that Theo outsmarted him on this one even after he joined hands with the Sword Saint to trick Theo.

"Please this way…" The old man tried to guide them again to another place to avoid the awkward situation.

In this fight, Theo won against them. No one could force him to do anything he didn't want.

Meanwhile, Shibuya Mami glanced at Laust, remembering what Theo said to the Heavenly Sovereign about him starving and dying since he was seven years old. "You… You truly bullied a pitiful guy like him in Thersland? And you almost killed him? I was surprised that you could do that, Laust… Are you…a demon?"

"Ugh…" Laust looked away. "I'm deeply ashamed of my past self."

…

While those disciples were absorbing what the two Saints had taught them, Theo's group continued with their visit. After seeing Laust wasn't treated horribly, Theo didn't have any more purpose in staying in this country.

However, he still had to stay in this place for some time simply to waste his time.

The Heavenly Sovereign also had the same idea.

In the end, they went around for two hours, learning about the clan. For the Sword Saint, this was an easy job. Instead of letting these two guys run around Japan, it was better to keep these two guys in the Shibuya Clan as long as possible.

Theo and the Heavenly Sovereign soon got bored, and the Sword Saint knew it was the time to leave. The Heavenly Sovereign had understood the layout of the building and the reason for the Shibuya Clan, so there was nothing more to hear.

Meanwhile, Theo understood the structure of this building that was built in traditional style. Since Rea wanted a floating temple and building for her to stay in, this would be a great reference for the future building.This chapter is updated by ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

Of course, Theo decided to visit many places since he wanted to understand the culture for more references. He planned to make his domain the best fantasy place, so he had to learn all sorts of details.

Eventually, they had to return to the hotel so that they could rest. The Heavenly Sovereign had to go back tomorrow, so if he wanted to make a move, it would be tomorrow.

That was right; the Sword Saint could go with Theo to reinforce Rea tomorrow. With that thought in his mind, the Sword Saint retired to his room and sharpened his blade as if he would protect his daughter from any dangers.

However, not everything went according to his plan.

When the night came, someone opened Theo's room easily as if it wasn't locked. Theo, who was staring into the city through the window, remained calm while asking, "It seems my time is over."

The Heavenly Sovereign looked at Theo with a long sigh. "Sorry, but… Although I like your personality and character, I still have to kill you here. It's the order from the country."

"Are you really going to do this?" Theo smirked.

"I don't want to, but I have to think about the country I represent. So, I have no choice other than to do this."

Theo looked at him with a smile. "Even if you kill me, it doesn't mean I'll die. I'll return to pay you back for what you have done tonight."

"I'll be waiting for it." The Heavenly Sovereign's tone became extremely cold as his eyes were oozing bloodlust. He suddenly leaped to Theo and pierced through his heart with his hands, killing Clone Theo.

Without the heart, Clone Theo gradually disappeared while saying, "I shall remember this, Heavenly Sovereign."

"Condemn me as you like, but I have my job to do." The Heavenly Sovereign sighed as if he was losing a friend.
