God Of Tricksters

Chapter 1069 A Deal

The shadow moved around a bit as a white-colored Magic Power started leaking out of her body, revealing the true shape of the shadow.

It turned out she was at least ten-foot-tall. Instead of a full human body, only her upper half was human; the bottom half was that of a fish.

”Half-human, half-fish… Mermaid!” Isaac sucked a cold breath while Maya and Mark prepared to fight.

On the one hand, the person before them was a monster. On the other hand, Theo seemed to know this person since he went all the way here to meet her.

”What should I call you?” The Queen of Destiny smiled, looking at Theo.

”Don’t you already know it?” Theo smirked. After thinking a few times, he realized there was one thing he could do to measure her ability. And this question was the way.

Understanding Theo’s real intention, the Queen of Destiny smirked and decided to tease him, “Mhm. Let’s see… I am wondering what I should call you… I can call you with your nickname, title, or real name. Which one do you want?”

Theo’s eyebrows twitched as he realized she had understood him better than he thought.

Obviously, no one had ever heard Theo’s title or real name. Even Maya only knew his real name, not his title.

After all, they hadn’t been exposed to the Order, so no one knew he was known as Reality King.

The Queen of Destiny had looked through multiple possibilities and found out more about him. So, she put that knowledge in use and invited him here.

”Just call me, Joker.” Theo clicked his tongue.

”Certainly.” The Queen of Destiny smiled and finally clapped her hand. Her white-colored Magic Power spread all over the room as blue light gradually shone from all corners, brightening the room, revealing her true appearance.

As Isaac expected earlier, she was a mermaid. She had long silver hair and a white fish’s tail.

Still, everyone could clearly see the white Magic Power emanating from his body.

”Are you sure it’s wise for you to do something like that?” Theo scratched the back of his head before sighing.

”I have judged that it’s fine.” The Queen of Destiny narrowed her eyes.

”…” Theo paused for a moment before shaking his head.

”Still, to think the knight wanna-be sent you here, I feel like I have grown older.”

”I believe you know the reason why I came here, right? If not, you wouldn’t create that crevice so that we could enter… Still, I can’t really say anything with the fancy way you invite us in.” Theo sighed.

”Despite being one yourself, you’re too caring about other opinions. If they want to know, so be it. There’s no need for you to explain.”

”I don’t plan to show any weakness. Human society is more complicated than you think.” Theo shook his head and said, “Anyway, may I know why you decided to invite all of us?”

He planned to come by himself, yet, the Queen of Destiny judged that it was necessary to bring his friends along. She even exposed a different color of Magic Power.

There must be something that she wanted. And Theo planned to listen to what she had to say first.

”It’s nothing much.” The Queen of Destiny shook her head and pointed at the others. “I just believe that they’re necessary.”

”Necessary?”

”Yes. Do you wish to change your destiny?” The Queen of Destiny smirked.

”Is there a price to pay?”

”Nothing. It just means you choose another future. That’s all.” The Queen of Destiny pointed at Mark. “If not because of him, you will expose your real identity eleven hours from now.”

”Huh?!” Theo turned to Mark while the latter pointed at himself with a dumbfounded expression, not understanding why she mentioned him. Although he was curious about Theo’s real identity, there must be a good reason for Theo to hide that identity.

If he learned about this and had a conflict with Theo, his life would be in danger.

”Yes.” The mermaid pointed her finger at Maya this time. “Your destiny is tied tightly with her for a while.”

”Your words… can cause a misunderstanding, you know.” Theo’s expression became colder. That statement truly could make one think Theo would end up with Maya instead of Agata. Even though it was just the future, he had no thought about betraying his girlfriend.

So, Theo was a bit angry that she mentioned it like that.

The mermaid ignored his words and pointed at Isaac. “You should follow him to his next destination because you will play a huge role. You might get the answer you are searching for too…”

”Answer…” Isaac murmured while furrowing his eyebrows. Even though he was shocked, her statement truly made him think something else.

”What are you trying to do, Queen of Destiny?” Theo squinted his eyes.

”I want to give you a proposal. In exchange for reading your and your friends’ destiny, I wish you could defeat someone.”

”Who is that someone?” Theo didn’t accept immediately, fearing that the person he needed to kill was someone too strong.

As if she knew what Theo thought, she said, “The island will sink to the bottom of the ocean in 27 hours. It’s not the time for us to sink again, so I want you to stop the cause.”

”The cause? But you said ‘someone’? If that person is that strong, I won’t be able to defeat him.”

”You can defeat him. He might be a Mythical Rank Monster, but he is a new Mythical Rank Monster.”

”A new Mythical Rank Monster?!” Not only Theo but the others were also shocked.

”Yes. 24 hours from now. There will be a monster breaking through to Mythical Rank. At that time, he will be at his weakest. If you can defeat him within fifteen minutes, he shouldn’t have adapted to his new strength yet.

”That monster is the reason why the island will sink much faster than it’s supposed to.” The mermaid explained with a nonchalant expression.

”Why don’t you kill the monster personally? With your strength or even the four Mythical Rank Monsters guarding this island, it should be a piece of cake.”

”We have our own rules.” She shook her head. “So, what do you think? Will you agree to my request?”

Theo thought for a moment and glanced at his group.

”I don’t really mind. I don’t bring my full armor, but I should be able to provide some covers.” Maya looked at Mark. “You should want to know about your future a bit, right?”

Mark nodded in agreement and turned to Isaac, who was still confused and angry because Theo crushed the rock.

However, the first thing that Mark did after realizing the stone came from the mermaid before him, Isaac faced Theo and slightly lowered his head. “I’m sorry. I was needlessly angry at you… I should have known that curiosity kills the cat.

”I’m afraid this is something related to my own life. So, I apologize for getting mad at you when you’re trying to protect me. That’s why I will fully support your decision this time as an apology.”

Isaac apologized to Theo after realizing why Theo crushed the rock. Just by listening to the Queen of Destiny, he knew she was someone far more special than any other monster. So, this secret must be something that needed to be hidden.

The Queen of Destiny smiled and clapped her hands. “Since you have agreed, then come in. I will read your destiny inside.”
