God of Tricksters

"Do you want to fight, little bastard?"

"I'm not scared of you, Old Clock."

Both of them released their Magic Power to the limit. The pressure alone created a powerful gale, blowing everything away. The ground began to crack as the tension soared through the roof.

Unlike the last time they fought when Theo was still a new King, if they fought this time, the entire area would surely be destroyed.

Both of them gave a cold gaze at each other before their Magic Power suddenly vanished into thin air as if it never existed to begin with.

Theo and the Time God had fought so many times during that training, so they knew from each other's gaze that none of them was planning to fight.

In the end, they decided to drop the matter.

"Theodore Griffith, you should behave for the time being. The current situation is not good. There are dangers looming everywhere and we don't know when they will come."

"How about we have our observer here change jobs? You have that book in your hand, so why not give it to me?" Theo smirked.

"This book can't be read by anyone else other than me or it will cause a huge disruption in the flow of time. That's why you can drop the idea. Even if you can acquire this book from my hand, it'll simply disappear because this book is connected to me and my flow of time."

"Hmm…" Theo narrowed his eyes. He might be able to replicate some of his abilities, but his understanding of time itself was too low. So, Theo shrugged while saying, "In that case, leave this place. I won't be your enemy if you don't provoke me."

"I know. I'm pretty sure you already know what those folks in the white house are discussing, right?"

Theo nodded. "Of course. To control me, they are trying to see the pros and cons of kidnapping my fiancee, killing my people, and even inviting the Mafia Queen. I'm not going to act on their plan, but the moment they begin to make their move to hurt me, I will retaliate.

"Tell those people I'm on the side of humanity, not their side. But if they want to make me switch sides, they're among the last people I consider."

The Time God closed his eyes and agreed to tell this message. "In that case, I'll leave this place. I hope that the day when we have to clash won't happen anytime soon. Even if it comes, I don't wish it will become a battle of life and death."

Theo didn't give any remark regarding his statement. He might agree, but he might also wish for the life and death battle.

However, it didn't seem Theo was their current enemy, so he had completed his purpose here.

Without hesitation, the Time God turned around and used his Time Element to accelerate himself to return to the base.

Theo, on the other hand, took a deep breath. Although he had become an Authority, it was still too much to fight the Time God.

"As expected, that guy is a monster." Theo clicked his tongue. "Even with my current strength, I don't see any way to defeat him. Even the scorpion can't be compared to him.

"The only way to defeat him is to get even stronger. I need to utilize my third law at the very least. Then again, I have to increase my level further."

Theo knew that the Time God was stronger than anyone he had ever seen. And the only one who could stop him was probably the Heavenly Sovereign, whose full strength was still unknown.

"Still, to think that Sir Yaslev once fought both of them as the last barrier to becoming the top expert in this world. Haha, I once swore that I would fight all the top experts to become stronger. I guess I'm going to fulfill it soon." Theo smirked. "The danger is around the corner after all. If I don't improve soon, it'll certainly destroy all our hope."

Theo took a deep breath and disappeared since it was only his clone. Meanwhile, his real body opened his eyes while letting out a sigh. As expected, the people were looking at him anxiously, thinking the Time God was planning to hunt them.

"Teacher…" Rea approached him with a concerned expression.

"Nothing happened, so you can lower your guard." Theo shook his head.

They felt relieved since nothing bad would happen. There were already too many problems to handle, so they didn't want to add one more.

"Anyway, I want you to inform your father." Theo paused for a moment, thinking about his words.

"What do you want me to tell him?" Rea tilted her head in confusion. It didn't seem to be an important matter, so she was curious instead of alarmed.

"Tell him that it's time to take his daughter's tuition."

"What?!" Rea was bewildered. Never in her wildest dream would she think of Theo asking for a lesson fee. However, everything was cleared up after listening to his explanation.

"The lesson fee is simple. I want to spar with him. And ask him to tell the Daemon that I'd like to challenge him as well. But since he doesn't owe me anything, I don't mind tutoring one person of his choice for a month."

"That's…" Rea thought for a moment and found no problem in the agreement. Though, there was a problem from the outside. "Won't this make the Heavenly Sovereign jealous?"

"Just tell him I'm planning to challenge him sooner or later, but not now. Besides, I'm just going to fight with my clone, not both my real body and my clone. So, yeah… You deal with the rest."

"I understand." Rea nodded, accepting the task.

Meanwhile, the others were curious as to why Theo suddenly planned to challenge these people. It was clear that Theo wasn't someone who would provoke others, so it was surprising to see Theo challenging them.

Theo noticed their gaze and chuckled. "I'm simply curious as to how much I can do right now… In fact, if they lose to me, I have to seriously consider their strength for what's to come."
