God of Tricksters-Chapter 2087 Despair

"What? What had just happened?" The president slammed the table while rising from his seat, staring at the screen in disbelief.

No one in the room could explain it as well.

"Huh?" The one who scolded Theo earlier dropped his jaw as if he had just made the biggest mistake in his life.

The others who hated Theo suddenly fell silent. 'Hate' might already become a luxury for them.

After all, with two of humanity's strongest fighters dead, there would be nothing to stop the enemies anymore. In addition, the person they trusted the most, the Time God, had actually betrayed them.

It was shocking beyond belief. If they could somehow wake up from this dream, they would do it without hesitation.

However, this was the reality. It turned out that the fighters they hated the most were the savior of the world. Meanwhile, the person they trusted the most as well as the one who was registered as the strongest man in the world had joined the other side.

Looking at how they cooperated, it was clear that they had been working together for a long time. Even a fool would realize that the Time God was the actual spy of the slime.

"This is impossible."

"No. This can't be true."

"Oi. You can't break down like this. We have to think of a solution!"

"What solution? Can't you see what happened there? The Time God has betrayed us and Theodore Griffith has died. Do you think there are any other people who can turn around the situation?"

"Not good. The monsters are gaining momentum again. If this continues, they will be able to break through within fifteen minutes."

"Humanity… is done for."

Everyone, who witnessed what happened, fell into despair. No matter how hard they tried to think of a solution, there was nothing that could change the outcome of this battle.

No one had ever predicted this outcome. That was why they couldn't find any hope in this battle as well as the entire human race.

…

Theo's death actually had an impact on one more person. It was Maya.

Maya had been supporting the group with all her money. Theo would always be there, standing on top of her like a true leader. She had been chasing after his back, trying to defeat him.

However, when she witnessed Theo's death, everything suddenly crumbled. She might have gotten accustomed to Theo's presence that she never asked these questions.

What if Theo couldn't surpass me? What if Theo couldn't even become my opponent again? What would I do if there was no one who could push me further? What… would happen if he was not there anymore?

Maya realized that she had lost her goal, the goal that drove her forward.

From behind the screen, Maya muttered in disbelief. "Oi, you gotta be kidding me. Oi, Theo! Theodore Griffith! What the fuck are you doing right now? Are you dying?"

Maya clenched her fists. She started to be in denial. "Oi, you motherfucker. Get up right now. I know that you're better than this. You should have seen through this kind of scheme, right? You are Theodore Griffith, right?"

She suddenly realized that Theo had done a lot of risky things. In fact, all his plans carried a huge risk every time. The reason why he could achieve a lot of things within a few years was because the risk he took was as big as the reward. 𝑓ree𝑤𝘦𝚋𝐧𝘰ve𝑙. co𝒎

He managed to overwhelm his enemies this whole time, but this was the first time he saw someone outsmarting Theo.

…

Just like her, the other soldiers, who saw what happened, couldn't help but fall into despair.

Some of them even dropped their weapons. They had been fighting vigorously, trying to stop the monsters from reaching the rear.

However, when they saw their top fighters die and their Time God betrayed them, the result was clear. There was no way they could do anything against all these enemies.

"Impossible."

"There's no way we can win this battle."

"There's no hope anymore."

Those who had been chanting 'Fight, fight, fight!' stopped and became horrified. They couldn't encourage the others anymore since the enemies were simply too strong.

While those people started dropping to their knees, the Time God looked at the slime with a serious expression. "I have finally done my parts."

"Good work. You have truly completed your tasks. I am impressed, Aiden Turner."

"We already have a deal." The Time God snorted.

"Of course." The slime seemed to be happy about the current predicament. He extended his tentacle.

The Time God furrowed his eyebrows and tried to dip his right hand into the slime.

The slime dissolved the Time God's body. But one second later, a new hand was formed. This hand was made of red slime.

After seeing that, the Time God finally entered the tentacle with his whole body.

It only took an instant for his body to disintegrate and return to its form but with the red slime filling his inside.

"How are you feeling?" The slime asked with a confident tone.

The Time God looked around his body and smiled. "This is perfect. A body that doesn't age and a situation where I won't be the one to die."

The slime remained silent, but he knew what he was talking about. They had met in the past. And the Time God offered to work with him in exchange for an immortal body.

That was right, the Time God had once said that he had done everything, but the end of his life never changed.

That was why he had to take extreme measures. He asked the slime an immortal body and with his help, they should be able to overcome anything. This was the Time God's answer to continue living after this battle.

And this action truly made all humans fall into despair.

"There is still one more thing to do." The slime reminded him after getting the confirmation about the new body.

The Time God looked at the human soldiers and said, "Of course. I'm ready. It's time to wipe out the rest of humanity."
