God Of Tricksters

While Clone Theo persuaded the Dark King, the real Theo had been learning about the current progress of the Space Saint.

Theo was staring at the note he took after listening to the Space Saint. He pinched the bridge of his nose as if finding a problem that he couldn't solve.

"Is there something wrong?" The Space Saint asked. He was worried about the safety of the people that crossed the tunnels, so of course, he had to make sure that the tunnel was clear.

Theo glanced at him but maintained his silence for a while as if he was still in the middle of his thoughts. Even the Space Saint didn't say anything during this period because he didn't want to disturb Theo's train of thought and ended up losing the entire idea.

After another fifteen minutes, Theo finally opened his mouth.

"First of all, I'm going to sum up the progress of your tunnel…" Theo pointed at the notebook and continued, "This tunnel is built with the cooperation of five Saints.

"I can see how they're related to each other and somehow strengthen the tunnels. However, if you want to build a tunnel to another reality, then you need me."

Theodon once told him that the tunnel for a one way trip could be created by himself. But because Loki, Theodon, and the ancient Gods wanted the tunnel that could bridge the two worlds, they needed a lot of Saints to do it.

Now that he had faced this situation, Theo had to rack his brain in order to make this tunnel work.

On the one hand, Theo had no experience in building the tunnel. On the other hand, he believed the knowledge he had was enough to create one. He just had to be a bit more creative and work hard to achieve it.

After considering a few things, Theo stated, "I think it's possible to create a working tunnel."

"Is that true?" The Space Saint was surprised. Although he knew that the Reality Saint was one of the core people who needed to work in the creation process, he didn't expect much from the new Reality Saint.

However, he seemed to have judged Theo wrongly. This new Reality Saint seemed to be very capable.

Of course, he didn't know that Theo could actually create a tunnel by himself. But because he had just acquired the knowledge and become the Reality Saint not long ago, he didn't have the confidence yet.

Hence, it was better to get some help from other Saints to increase the chance of making the tunnel.

Theo nodded. "Yeah. It's possible to create the tunnel. But I have to ask you for a few materials."

"I'll take care of the materials." The Space Saint nodded with a serious expression.

"These materials are used by the previous builders of the tunnels between the two worlds. They're used to maintain a strong but stable tunnel. So…" Theo paused for a moment and wrote down a few materials before handing the paper to the Space Saint. "These are the materials."

The Space Saint took a look at the names and got confused. After all, he didn't know about the terms from humans.

He couldn't help but ask Theo about the materials' details. In the end, Theo sketched and even put on some explanations so that the Space Saint could confirm the information.

The Space Saint looked at the details for a moment before asking, "I think I have to ask the others first."

"Sure." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

He knew there was a problem with the materials he asked for. After all, those materials came from the other world. The only way to acquire it was to go to the other world themselves.

But since they were the ones trying to go to the other world, they had to acquire the materials that the Earth had.

So, there were only two solutions to the current problem. They could either grab all the materials that the humans on Earth had procured from the other world or replace the material with a similar thing.

Theo agreed because he knew how hard it was to get all these items.

The Space Saint thanked him and immediately returned to his hideout. Of course, Theo had been trying to manipulate the Space Saint this whole time, trying to see how far he could go.

In the first place, Theo could simply go with the Space Saint to his hideout. As for his clone and Dark King, the original Theo could simply inform the Space Saint when they arrived, and the latter could teleport back to the original location.

In other words, there was no need for them to wait here at all.

When the Space Saint left, a smile couldn't help but appear on Theo's face. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹．𝗻𝐞𝘁

While the Space Saint convinced his team, Theo was looking at the sky, thinking about the people in the US Base. He knew this would be a huge test for his group. After all, the ones coming right now would be extremely dangerous and sneaky.

One wrong move might cause huge chaos within the base. If the base was unstable, it might collapse from within.

Theo closed his eyes for a moment, imagining the situation.

In that imagination, he fought the slime outside the base, but the people had been moving away from the base. There would be numerous cannibals and bandits like in any other place without any order.

Eventually, the chaos reached the battlefield. The soldiers and the people who fought for the base ended up stopping because their families back home died or met a fate worse than death.

After those people stopped fighting, the enemies would be able to defeat the remaining people. And even if they fled back to the base, they only met resistance either from the refugees or the vagabonds.

They ended up fighting two fronts with the few people they had. And with the slime's overwhelming power along with their extraordinary numbers, they would be able to engulf the base and all the people in it.

Theo might be able to escape with his own group, but after that slime swallowed the US Base, he would have become too strong for him. So, losing wasn't an option if he still wanted to save the world.
