God Of Tricksters

"I know you are someone who is loyal to your group. Come and submit to me. I will let you and all the people close to you be reborn and witness my glory." The slime spoke, trying to rope Theo.

Although he didn't admit it, the slime had recognized Theo's strength. If he wanted to kill him, there would be serious consequences. Besides, having someone like Theo would be beneficial to him.

That was why he gave this offer, trying to make Theo switch sides like the God of Mischief.

However, Theo's face didn't have any change of expression. He simply stared at the slime as if trying to buy some time. He even asked, "That's all? That's the only thing you can offer to me? What bullshit."

The slime was surprised. He thought Theo couldn't be persuaded. But if he could somehow convince Theo to join him without fighting him, it would be the best situation.

He said, "I can give you everything. After ascending from this world, I'm going to a higher place. If you want this world, I will give it to you. No, you are going to rule it in my stead. You are going to literally stand above everything and only below one person, me."

Theo let out a long sigh. He even shook his head in disappointment as if the offer didn't excite him at all.

Normally, people would be overjoyed if they could become the king of the world. It was true that he was still below the slime, but at that time, the slime wouldn't even be around since his existence was already bigger than the world itself.

That was why this offer gave him the chance to rule the world.

"What? You are dissatisfied with that offer?"

"Yeah. That offer is too small for me." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

Theo looked like it was possible to persuade him with enough reward. So, the slime wondered what kind of thing Theo wanted aside from this world.

"In that case, I'll ask you. What do you want? Be it a woman, riches, or glory, I can give it to you." The slime stated with full confidence.

Theo's smile was warm as if he could finally get what he wanted. Theo pointed at the slime and said, "It's simple. If you can offer your life to me, then I'll consider the agreement."

"…" The slime suddenly stopped wobbling as if he was too dumbstruck. He was angry because he thought Theo could be bought off, but it turned out it was his foolish thinking. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥．𝗰𝗼𝐦

Even if Theo didn't ask for his life, he could ask for the God of Mischief's life. The God of Mischief was currently one of the strongest people on his side, so it would be better if he remained on the battlefield.

That was why the slime knew that Theo was simply trying to annoy him.

The slime suddenly burst out of the ground, rising like a volcanic eruption.

It seemed that the slime was thoroughly angered this time. Even if Theo changed his mind later, he wouldn't even consider it.

The slime shouted. His voice suddenly became high-pitched, and there was killing intent coming out of the slime's body.

"You don't know what is good for you, Theodore Griffith. As expected of a human, unlike the God over there, you are just foolish. Even if you can buy some time from me, it's still impossible to win against me.

"Not only that, your army will collapse first. No matter what you can do to turn around the situation, you simply can't fight against absolute power.

"To think you would fail to see it, it seems I have overestimated you. Just take a look at those soldiers behind you, my underlings have managed to deal severe damage to them. Before long, they are going to collapse."

Theo maintained his silence as if he understood the graveness of the situation.

However, it seemed that the battle didn't go according to the slime's prediction.

There was suddenly a burst of cheers, shaking the battlefield. Suddenly, there was an influx of soldiers coming from two sides, reinforcing their army. Due to the sudden ambush, a lot of monsters were slaughtered and the humans managed to regain their momentum.

Even if they couldn't push the monsters back, it should be enough to stop their momentum and reach a stalemate.

When the slime saw this, he was baffled. It was clear that the demons had achieved a small victory. Even the data he got from the spy should be accurate. So, he didn't know where these people came from.

But if one took a look at it, despite their energetic roar and powerful momentum, their clothes hadn't been repaired. Just looking at the blood on their clothes, it was clear that they were the people who were defeated earlier.

"You…" The slime didn't expect that Theo had this kind of trump card.

On the other hand, Theo smiled, remembering the conversation he had with the pope.

Back then, Theo was carefully thinking about his plan in his house, but Agata suddenly entered the room while saying, "Theo. You have a visitor. It's the pope. It seems he wants to talk about something."

"Can you send him here?"

Agata nodded and returned with the pope not long after. Theo glanced at the pope for a moment before his gaze returned to the map on the table. "Sorry if this looks rude, but I have to work with my plan, you see."

"Hoho… It's fine. I have come without any notice after all." The pope chuckled. He paused for a moment as the atmosphere suddenly became empty. It seemed that the topic was something hard for the pope.

Since Theo focused on the map, he just worked on his plan while waiting for the pope.

Only after three minutes that the pope said, "Theodore Griffith… Do you think it's possible for you to help my student? In the future, there will be a huge setback by making her my successor, sadly because of her gender. That's why…"
