God of Tricksters-Chapter 2100 A Mess
Theo thought for a moment and asked inwardly, 'Should I use my last trump card? But if I use it, I have to leave everyone…'
Theo couldn't help but remember Agata and all the people who were close to him. Agata would surely cry if he used that trump card. Even Leonardo, his grandfather, as well as Valerie and Ray, his parents, would be devastated. He couldn't keep his promise to his parents as well.
As for his group, it would be the biggest disaster. Rea might be able to replace him, but the fact that Theo was gone would be a tremendous hit to them.
Although he could still retain some power by asking the Heavenly Sovereign or Hel, it didn't change the fact that the group would basically be unable to function anymore.
That was why Theo never wanted to use the last trump card, if they could still somehow fight the slime.
'Still, I don't think the slime is going to reabsorb the other power since it's going to take a long time. Even the Devouring Power can only be used after a while… But as a precaution, we should move them away from the slime and cut all kinds of approaches the slime is making toward them.
'Even then, we still have to fight the slime which has four Authorities: Seal, Dissolve, Devour, and Color.
'My illusion can bypass the Color Authority, but the damage won't be huge. After all, the slime has the other three Authorities.
'Besides, the slime can use all four Authorities simultaneously, complicating the situation even further.' Theo narrowed his eyes, remembering the time when the slime used both Dissolve and Devour Authorities at the same time.
'Then, what if I become a Singularity? Can I do anything for him? There are two things that will be certain. First, I'll be able to rank up the World Re-Creation beyond S Rank. Second, I will be able to sense the Primordial Energy, but I don't know if I can manifest reality or not…'
Theo was racking his brain, trying to come up with a solution. But the addition of Color was truly tremendous. The slime's fighting strength had become stable.
Theo's expression darkened as he couldn't see any more weaknesses the slime had. The speed might be a weakness, but with the addition of Seal and Color, there was no need for the slime to move anymore.
That was why it seemed that there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Theo glanced at Hel and asked, "Can Loki do something against him?"
"I don't know. I believe it's hard, but it's not impossible." Hel answered without hesitation.
"In that case… we will fight the slime for a while to make it certain." Theo sighed.
"You should go there. I will try to protect myself while recuperating from my wounds." Hel pointed at the slime.
"No. Even though you are this injured, you can still fight. Your power is still needed in this battle. So, don't say anything like that." Theo thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we have to bring the Mafia Queen here if we want to win."
"The green line might collapse, you know. Won't it be a problem?"
"It's going to be a hassle, but it's better than letting this slime win. We can still somehow suppress the rest of the monsters and recover from the monsters' attack, but if we can't defeat the slime, it'll be a game over."
"In that case, we still have one more card we can use." Hel let out a long sigh. "Although I don't really want to use it, it seems that we have to ask them."
"Them? Who?" Theo frowned. They were supposed to have no more people to use.
But Hel ignored him and took out the radio, asking, "You two… Are you ready?"
"We have sent them to your location."
"!!!" Theo widened his eyes when he heard the familiar voice. "That voice… Lyrventh?"
Hel smiled. "Yeah. Do you remember the time we brought back Lyrventh and Lydia with us? Father had taught them a lot of things."
"What? I want to say a lot of things about their involvement, but I still don't understand what you're planning."
Hel made a weird smile, remembering the conversation.
Back then, Loki was standing in front of Lydia and Lyrventh.
"Alright. Let's have our daily lesson now. Hmm… What should I teach you today?" Loki looked up as though he was coming up with a topic. "That's right. I am the one who lends my strength to Theo. So, he is a kind of trickster.
"Still, he has a lot to learn on how to become a trickster. That's why whenever I make up my plan, I will prepare another layer of protection against him. Google search 𝗳𝔯𝒆e𝘸𝗲𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃𝘦l. 𝒄o𝓂
"If there is a war in the future, and Theo is sending some people to the rear. He must not trust them very much. That's why I want you guys to think otherwise. If he doesn't trust them, then you should trust them and take advantage of them."
When she remembered that lesson, she couldn't help but chuckle. "It's not that he doesn't trust you. It's just that… sometimes, a desperate time requires desperate action. And it seems that those two have understood that lesson.
"After the war starts, we all gather here while Lyrventh and Lydia are stationed in different areas, right? That's how it's supposed to be, but Lydia is my disciple and Lyrventh is his student.
"Obviously, both of them will follow our words more than yours. And our words are… to bring the three Transcendent Level Experts from the base to our place as soon as the battle begins and remain hidden for a while."
"Wait… Don't tell me." Theo's eyebrows twitched as he raised his head, looking at the horizon.
There were three people suddenly rampaging on the battlefield. They attacked all the monsters on the green line, trying to turn around the situation. They were none other than the three Transcendent Level Experts from the base, with the King of Fighters leading them.
"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue. "I shouldn't underestimate Mischief indeed… He's messing with my plan."
