God Of Tricksters

"What did you see earlier?"

'The agreement was to see the Death Reaper's fate. But the one I saw was the Fist Saint's… I couldn't let him know. I should mix some truth in my lies.' Madam Fila thought before answering his question. 'I didn't see anything. Only blood. And that's exactly the problem.'

The first sentence was regarding the Death Reaper. She didn't see anything indeed. However, the second statement was for the future she saw. Only blood meant the destruction of humanity. There would be nothing left other than blood.

And that was exactly the problem. She wanted to make sure that humanity wasn't destroyed even if she had to lie to the Fist Saint.

"There is someone blocking my eyes the whole time. That bloodied thing prevented me from seeing anything! Do you know what this means?

Her tone was filled with anger, while the Fist Saint had no words to say as he truly didn't know anything. However, those statements were actually explaining the situation about the slime and future conditions. 'That bloodied thing' in her mouth was none other than the slime. Because the slime was destroying the world, she truly couldn't see much of the future.

Last but not least, she wanted to make sure the Fist Saint knew about that expert, she said, "This means there's a stronger existence than the Time God who can block my eyes from seeing the future. Only someone at that level can do it! Who did you offend, Fist Saint? Out with it!"

Madam Fila worded it differently. But she was indicating Theo's power. In the current time, there was no one who reached the rank beyond the Mythical Rank, including the Time God.

That was why she said there was a stronger existence than the Time God. And instead of blocking her eyes from seeing the future, it was more accurate to say that Theo sent him back.

Of course, the Fist Saint didn't have any idea about that existence. He said, "I don't know. I truly don't have any idea of a person who is strong enough to cause all that. If that person is stronger than the Time God, wouldn't I be dead already?!"

'Yes, you should die. I might be cruel to say this, but if you don't die, the world will be destroyed.' Madam Fila gritted her teeth. If she wasn't involved with this entire scheme, she wouldn't be this angry.

"You make that existence aware of my presence. I don't even know what my future will be from now on! You fist bastard! I'm going to curse you for this." ｂ𝚎ｄｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ

She didn't lie. Theo was indeed aware of her presence back then. She just made it look like she was afraid.

And she even cursed him as though she wanted him to die. Of course, that curse was simply her wish so that the Fist Saint would die in the future, killed by that blue-haired person. The Fist Saint told her that he would already die if there was someone stronger than the Time God, but with that curse, it was as if she was telling him to be killed by that person.

The Fist Saint thought, 'Madam Fila's accuracy is extremely high. However, she always says that if she tells others about their future, it won't happen. That's why she will only tell you about it in a roundabout way. And this is far worse than I imagined… It seems that I have to return to decipher it.'

Yes, just like the Fist Saint, no one actually knew this existence since they couldn't imagine a person stronger than the Time God. After all, the Singularity Rank is not known in the world right now. It was different in the future though.

…

The Fist Saint continuously tried to decipher the meaning of her revelation. In the end, he lost against Theo and kept hiding.

Little by little, he finally began to understand what Madam Fila had said to him. He realized that someone who was stronger than the Time God would be Theo. After all, Theo had the strongest potential and it wouldn't be long before he reached their levels. Since Madam Fila told him about the future, that scene should happen in the future. In other words, the Future Theo had become stronger than the Time God.

The more he thought about it, the more he understood the meaning. And before long, he realized that he would take an important part in history. Unfortunately, to do it, he had to become a villain. He should become the world's villain and die.

He didn't know for what purpose, but he knew what would happen in the future.

When the Griffith Family came to him, he obviously agreed. Though, he didn't join them because of his hatred of Theo. Instead, he just wanted to become a villain to get in the front seat.

That was why when the Sword Saint asked, he told him that he was determined to do this.

And when everything began to take shape, the Fist Saint finally took action. He was prepared to die. He might hate Theo because of the suffering he had to experience, but in front of a common enemy, his heart still belonged to humanity. He was a human after all.

Now that he had fulfilled his role, he felt like a huge burden had been lifted up from his shoulders.

The Fist Saint smiled. He obviously didn't want to die. But as one of the strongest humans, he had to fulfill his role.

With a smile on his face, the Fist Saint said, "And now… my mission is completed."

"Mission?" Theo was startled. He looked at the Fist Saint in shock, wondering if there was another conspiracy that he didn't know. "What do you mean by mission? Why do you let me kill you?"

The Fist Saint's consciousness began to fade. So, he said his last words. "My death is necessary for the victory of this war. I might hate you, but I'm also a human. I once got a divination about my future… In that future, I didn't die. But since I'll die now, the future should change. People call me a muscle brain, but I guess I'm not that foolish. With this, I have beaten the future with the help of the message from the future. And I might be famous because of infamy, but I guess I still manage to etch my name in the canal of history. Not bad."

Theo was speechless. He couldn't say anything because there were simply too many things the Fist Saint was talking about. However, he could understand a portion of it.

The Fist Saint became weaker and weaker. Finally, his consciousness faded completely and his body started to fall.

However, Theo could hear one last word from the Fist Saint.

"Win…"
