God of Tricksters

In the city center, millions of people came out of their houses and went down the street. They all gathered in a spot near the center of the city.

They all looked at the road, witnessing thousands of vehicles, from police cars to military vehicles. The war had just ended. There were a lot of soldiers who died.

They had a parade to honor the fallen soldiers, including Theo, who sacrificed their lives for the human race.

Despite the base trying to honor the people who had fallen for the human race, not a single person from Theo’s group actually visited the procession.

People said that they couldn’t believe Theo died, so they remained in their base because they didn’t want to admit it. They looked like they were in denial, but no one could say anything to them.

After all, the Sword Saint, the Heavenly Sovereign, the Magma Dragon, the Goddess of Death, and even the Transcendent Level Experts near Theo had made it clear that if they tried to harm Theo, the hero of humanity, they wouldn’t stand by and let it happen.

However, what truly happened in Theo’s base was far from what they currently thought.

Instead of being filled with sadness, the entire group actually gathered in the field. They weren’t holding any funerals. In fact, their faces were filled with smiles and joy.

“Here you go! I did my best for this!” Coline smirked while putting down a plate of giant lobster.

“Coline. Can I get my favorite food today?” Nella asked with a smirk.

“Of course. I’m going all out today! So, eat anything you want.” Coline pumped her chest while glancing at Agata, “Oi! You should relax for a day!”𝞸𝗏𝓁𝒩xt.𝗇𝓔t

Agata looked at Coline before shaking her head. “No. I’m busy and will be busy for a long time!”

“Is that so?” Coline tilted her head in confusion. Even Nella looked at her and had a small smile. There was no more sadness on Agata’s face, unlike yesterday. Instead of crying, she seemed to be happy because she was expecting something.

‘I’m glad that she’s fine now.’ Nella let out a sigh of relief, remembering what happened yesterday.

…

“Agata?” Nella knocked on the door of her house with Theo. The war was already over. After that declaration, Agata returned to this house and locked herself in. There was not a single sound coming from this house, making the people worried.

‘She is not trying to kill herself, right?’ Nella thought as her face became pale. It would be a problem if she did it. She used her Magic Power to sense everything inside the house, finding Agata on her bed. She seemed to be crying, not accepting the fact that Theo had sacrificed his own life.

Nella gritted her teeth. She was also not over it yet. In fact, the entire group was depressed. Even Felix wanted to kill himself in order to follow Theo. If Ruth and the others didn’t stop him, it would become a huge problem.

On the bed, Agata covered her face with the pillow, crying. She remembered all the times they had together.

‘Why did you leave me?’

‘Why did you sacrifice yourself without telling me?’

She was depressed. She wanted to kill herself.

Both of them had faced a lot of problems together. They had to be separated on a lot of occasions. Now that Theo was gone, she felt that the world without him was not worth it anymore.

However, there was a basket on the side table. The basket was filled with a lot of Skylinks. Each Skylink had a name attached to it, including herself.

‘Do you think I can live here without you?’ Agata screamed inwardly. ‘All this creation of yours—”

She wanted to let out all her emotions, but when she said the last sentence, she suddenly came to another realization.

That was right. The Magma Dragon told the people that Theo had sacrificed himself and that Hel had told them the entire situation.

Theo and Loki dragged the slime to another world. He had, by no means, died.

After all, if he passed away, this place that he had used his power to create would be the first thing to disappear.

Agata stopped for a moment and looked at the basket. She couldn’t help but reach the Skylink with her name attached to it. It was at the very top, as though it had been arranged so that she would be the first one to listen to it.

That was right. Clone Theo had told Hel that he had left the message for Agata. Theo actually wanted her to listen to his last words.

Agata couldn’t help but open the Skylink to see what Theo had to say. But it was hard to calm down after crying so hard. She was still sobbing while searching for his message.

In Skylink, there was one file that seemed to have been created only a few days ago. It was a voice message.

She tried to listen to it but felt extremely disappointed when the message was only a few seconds long. There wouldn’t be a lot of messages that could be conveyed in just a few seconds.

But the moment she played it, everything changed. The message was simple.

“Agata. If you ever find this, then I only have one thing to say to you. I have never lied and will never lie to you.”

“…” Agata looked down as though the message caused her to contemplate a lot of things. This simple message conveyed thousands of words to her.

In fact, this message was something that only Theo could prepare.

“Never lie…” Agata muttered in a low tone.

While she was falling into deep thought, Nella kept waiting outside the house, knowing Agata needed time to accept reality.

“Theo. What am I supposed to do now?” Nella let out a long sigh, wondering why Theo would do all that without telling anyone about it.

But her thoughts were suddenly disrupted as the door was opened.

*Clack!*

“!!!” Nella turned her head around with a shocked face, as though she believed Agata wouldn’t come out of the house for a few days.

To her surprise, Agata came out while carrying the basket. Her eyes were still red, but her face seemed determined.

As soon as she found Nella, Agata asked, “Can you gather everyone here? Not just the people from our group, but all the people related to Theo, like his grandfather, his parents, or even the Sword Saint and Heavenly Sovereign.”
