God of Tricksters

"…" Theo looked at him with squinted eyes. Although he had crammed a lot of knowledge into his mind, it was impossible to know everything. This was one of the things Theo'd never heard.

"I see. In that case…" The Time God raised both hands and gave some distance to Theo. "Well, just know that I'm not your ally or your enemy. How did I find your identity? That's simple. What I said earlier is the answer. That's all. You can check the details in the Skynet later."

"…" Theo wanted to check it immediately, but the president had spoken. "Anyway, it's my pleasure to know there's such a prodigy in this world… Your talent might be as good as those two people…

"But still, to think you could become a King at such a young age, even I have a hard time suppressing my desire to recruit you." The president smiled.

"A King? What's that?" Bernard tilted his head in confusion. It was normal for the most important person in this country to know about Order, but Bernard was different. If he had known about Order, the Star Group would have taken a different path.

"You should know about the five classifications of the monsters, right?" The Time God was the one answering his question.

"Yeah. Normal, Rare, General, King, and World Class."

"Then, let's talk about Mythical Rank Expert… Those who have some talent and can become a Mythical Rank Expert can be classified as normal. Those with more talents that can master one or two Aspects can be considered Rare Class.

"And a peerless genius who can master three to four Aspects is known to be General Class. King and World Class are simply on a whole different level. There is one more important power that they need to possess… Even if they're a genius who can master all five aspects, it will be useless if they don't have this power.

"In fact, even if you only understand one Aspect or even nothing at all, you can be considered a king as long as you have this power. This is the most powerful strength in the world that can defy nature itself.

"All top experts in the world have this power. Unfortunately, I can't disclose too much about this power to maintain stability… You just need to know that this friend here has that power despite being a Supreme Rank Expert.

"There are many hidden dragons in the world, but he's the first person I know to be able to acquire that strength while being a Supreme Rank Expert." The Time God explained a little bit about the classification, hinting about Order.

"Make you want to look forward to his future, eh?" The president smiled. No one was able to figure out what he was thinking. After all, Theo was a double-edged sword. If Theo was his enemy, he needed to kill him as soon as possible since Theo might become the biggest threat in the future.

However, the Time God seemed to have some interests in Theodore Griffith. Instead of killing him, he thought it would be more beneficial to make him his friend.

"Power…" Bernard narrowed his eyes.

"The Griffith Family truly makes me envious. Your grandfather is holding the 9th position, and your father has the potential to become the third strongest person in the world like your ancestor, and it's said that your cousin, Nella Griffith has similar potential. With you as the addition, the Griffith Family would become the peak power in this era." The president chuckled, prying Theo's intention about the Griffith Family.

"I don't care. The only reason why I still have Griffith in my name is simply that I don't like wasting my time to erase it." Theo shrugged.

"Want me to help you with the process? I can help you remove your name." The president smirked. If he could remove the relationship Theo had with the Griffith Family all together, this troublesome process was not worth mentioning.

"…" Theo felt the president's scheme and said, "If I want to do it, I'll be the one to do it."

"Haha, sure." The president smiled again, not taking the rejection to his heart.

"Now that we're talking about the third strongest… I almost forgot about the Wind Emperor. At his peak, he was the third strongest person in the world… His wind was so strong that it could disintegrate the time… Truly a beast.

"Albeit he was ambushed and had an everlasting injury. It's truly a shame… How is the Wind Emperor doing? Is he good?" The Time God asked.

"Why are we talking about this?" Theo refused to answer. In fact, he felt uncomfortable when they were talking about his real identity here.

"Anyway, I have one reason to call you all the way here, Theodore… Never mind, Theo. I want you to know that I'm not anyone's friend… I am not even this country's protector." The Time God smiled.

"Oi, what are you telling him…" The president felt a bit disturbed by that statement since the Time God was the pride of the country.

"Haha. I know, I know. But I am telling the truth…" The Time God waved his hand, brushing it off easily. "Instead, I'm actually the Earth's protector as well as an observer. If protecting the country can put the Earth in danger, I won't mind fighting the country."

"What…" The president widened his eyes.

"That's it. Anyway, let me borrow this guy… I need to do something." The Time God smiled and tapped Theo's shoulder.

"You—" Theo wanted to slip away, but the Time God was quicker, successfully tapping him in the shoulder.

Suddenly, both of them disappeared from the room.

"What—" Theo couldn't continue because the scenery suddenly changed. From the white house, he now found himself standing in the middle of nowhere. "Eh?"

There were only short grasses around him and a blue sky. He couldn't even find any living being, whether it was an ant or a bird.

He raised his guard and formed a sword before he found his Skylink in his hand. In that instant, he opened the Skylink and found the time had changed.

14:57:59

"Huh?" Theo widened his eyes in shock as his body trembled. "I visited the White House at 1 pm…"

Before he got his answer, the Time God's voice echoed in his ears.

"So, you have come back. Anyway, I kidnap you here…"

Theo turned around and found the Time God coming toward him. However, what shocked him the most was that the Time God was blinking a few feet every time he moved as if he was lagging.

"Time…"

"Haha. I already told you that I'm the Earth's protector… I bring you here to train your Order because it's necessary. I've told you the reason earlier… Bootstrap paradox."
