God of Tricksters

"What? Where are they? You told us that those people were still alive?" Reinhardt shouted in frustration.

He had brought the military to stand by near the disruption because Theo said the people would return from this place.

He couldn't believe it, but Theo was the leader of the Star Group's expedition team. After some persuasive words from Theo, he ended up agreeing to bring the military personnel.

Before Theo spoke, Isaac warned them again. "Please wait, General Reinhardt. I need to remind you that even though you have seen the people from here, you can't immediately rescue them. We need to wait until they cross the line so that no one will be teleported to the wilderness again. We don't know how many people will disappear this time."

"I know that already!" Reinhardt gritted his teeth. He had been informed by Isaac's words, and from the missing personnel, he knew it was true.

"Still, I'm afraid that people are still refusing to go because they don't trust our people." Theo sighed. "I can't do anything for them, General."

"That's…" Reinhardt gritted his teeth. "Our military can simply rescue them there!"

"Are you sure? We've assumed that half of the people have died just from getting teleported there. Your subordinates will face the same challenge, and there's no way for you to know the location of those people because we don't know where you're going to be teleported."

"Even so, I can't abandon people. I'll go there personally to convince them!" Reinhardt gritted his teeth.

"Whatever." Theo shrugged.

Theo was already tired from using too much Magic Power to levitate the people in the air, so he didn't want to warn him anymore.

"If my prediction is right, the people will reach this place in thirty minutes. Can you spread your soldiers so that they can handle all these people? Have you prepared the route for the evacuation?" Theo asked.

"I… I'm going to prepare it right now." Reinhardt harrumphed and left as he assigned the soldiers according to their roles.

Due to this problem, they also had problems with supplies and eventually asked more people to come for the water and food.

Because of the numerous preparations, time passed by in an instant.

However, the soldiers soon shouted in joy as if they had found the people.

"They are…"

"We've spotted the citizens."

"Prepare to move!"

As expected, the moment they saw the citizens, they were ready to run to the people. However, Isaac stood in their way and shouted, "Stop it! I've warned you! Just wait for another ten minutes until they reach this place!"

Theo only glanced at them before turning to the incoming civilians. When those people saw the military, they were overjoyed and started running as they couldn't bear living in this place longer.

However, they were also shocked that the military didn't move to rescue them as if they were scared to move.

Luckily, Isaac made the initiative to wave his hands as if asking them to continue to their sides.

Eventually, the soldiers followed his actions, asking the citizens to come to the other side.

Eventually, Clone Theo shouted, "The military can't get into the zone, so we are the ones who need to go to the other side!"

After working together for a few hours, the people who floated in the air also conveyed Theo's words. At the same time, their expressions were filled with joy and hope because they were now safe.

Some of them couldn't help but look at both Felix and Theo while thanking them.

"Congratulations. It seems that the operation is successful. You thought that one hundred thousand people would die, but because of the desperate persuasion, it seems almost all of them follow you." Felix congratulated Theo's achievement.

Despite such an accomplishment, Theo didn't have a change of expression. Instead, he only sighed as if he could see problems coming in the near future.

He only continued moving forward before stopping right in front of the distortion while waving his hands to ask the people to continue moving forward. He also put down all the people in the air.

The military immediately assumed their roles and helped the people despite their exhausted state. Some experts and civilians were inspired by their actions and helped them too.

This was what Felix saw previously. Just like Theo expected, more than one hundred thousand people didn't wish to leave the place. Even he lamented that one hundred thousand people would further die on this land.

However, a miracle happened. The soldiers kept persuading them to the point most of them followed the group.

Unfortunately, they needed to abandon a part of them. Even some soldiers remained behind to persuade them to come together until now. They were desperate to save the civilians.

Whether it was Theo's power in manipulating people's desires and emotions or the desperate action of the soldiers, they somehow managed to bring back at least 98% of the entire population.

Felix couldn't help but admire Theo.

When the civilians crossed the distortion, the soldiers immediately helped them by giving them some food and water and leading them to another place.

Luckily, Reinhardt brought more than one thousand personnel and a huge amount of supplies that they could somehow serve all of them. It was an amazing feat that Reinhardt couldn't help but lower his head to thank him from the bottom of his heart.

Meanwhile, Theo and Felix disappeared into the woods again because they needed to go back to fulfill the agreement with the Shadow King. On the other hand, Felix wanted to handle the rest of the people since he knew the monsters were under the Shadow King's control, and they wouldn't attack the humans for the time being.

On the way, Felix was confused by Theo's expression.

"What's wrong?" Felix asked while furrowing his eyebrows.

"Nothing." Theo shook his head.

"You don't feel happy by saving around one million people?" Felix asked.

"Saving people, huh." Theo sighed.

"What's wrong?" Felix kept asking him, but Theo remained silent. Felix hadn't known the reason why Theo considered humanity idiotic, prideful, resentful, depraved.

And he would get the answer to his own confusion a few days later.
