God of Tricksters

"…" Theo sucked a cold breath when he saw this mission.

"But before that, I promised you something, didn't I?"

Theo paused for a moment before saying, "The way for us to connect."

"That's right." The God of Mischief rose from his throne and walked to Theo. "What do you think about the strongest force in this world?"

"Hmm?" Theo tilted his head in confusion. "Are you talking about scientific terms or…"

"The latter."

Theo frowned, trying to come up with an answer. "Order and Authority?"

"That's the second strongest force in the world. There is one thing that has an even higher power compared to them. And that's the only reason why no one has ever mastered it this whole time. Even the Creator God can't." The God of Mischief explained.

Theo narrowed his eyes and looked down, contemplating. However, no matter how hard he tried to find the answer, it couldn't be compared to the Order and Authority.

"I don't know." Theo shook his head, giving up. "You're not going to say 'love, friendship, or family,' right?"

"It's emotions!" The God of Mischief shook his head helplessly. "There's no way I'm going to say that."

"Emotion…" Theo pondered for a moment, not understanding why emotions were the strongest force in the world. "I can't understand, sorry."

"Just to show you the proof, have you ever seen a God of Emotions?"

"Hmm?" Theo tried to recall any information about the God of Emotions, but he soon realized the meaning of emotions. "Now that I think about it, all the Gods who have some connections to emotions always end up with only one or two of them.

"God of Misery, God of Happiness… But not a single one of them can control all emotions. In other words, God of Emotion has never existed." Theo sucked a cold breath.

"That's right. The power of emotion… I believe this is the supreme power that no one can disobey. For example, you have the power of reality… What if you create a reality in the future and a God of Emotion appears in the world you've created… That God of Emotion will affect your own emotion, causing a lot of stuff.

"Meanwhile, you can't do such a thing against your creator, the higher being we've been seeking this whole time.

"If you want those higher beings sad, you control their sadness. That kind of action can lead to the destruction of this world because they're simply too sad to see this world. How about anger? It's the same.

"That's why emotions are the strongest power in the world. Even the Creator God is useless against it, and that's the reason why Emotion Order never exists. Just imagine if the Creator God is influenced by that emotion. Anger, sadness, anxiety…"

The God of Mischief closed his eyes, imagining all the destruction and imperfections that would appear if the Creator God was influenced by emotion.

Theo lowered his head with a grim expression. "Emotion… If someone affects the higher being that creates this world… they can manipulate that higher being to erase this world from its existence. If he gives happiness, the higher being will give something good to this world. In other words, if you control emotion, you control everything."

"That's right." The God of Mischief confirmed it without hesitation. "And that emotion is the fuel of our meeting most of the time. Someone wants to grow stronger, someone is crying hard… Those feelings have been influencing your power the whole time."

"Now that I think about it, every time you appear or give missions, I'd experience something that affected my feelings a lot." Theo paused for a moment, recounting every time emotion came to play. "There was also our first meeting. When I was cursing the whole world, feeling betrayed… you appeared.

"Then, I remembered Laust receiving his blessing when he strongly desired it. In other words, emotion has been the main driving force for missions, skills, and blessing."

The God of Mischief smirked. "That's right. Of course, that's not the only one. Order and Authority are considered a driving force too. You should remember how you got the Death Avatar, right?"

"Yes." Theo nodded in agreement. Back then, he absorbed the Death Order or Authority from the crown that Osiris used in the past, giving Hel enough power to establish the connection. "But then… how about the skills that I received whenever I ranked up?"

"That's also Order! Whenever you ranked up, your body entered a state of serenity. It allowed the world to be connected to you like a bridge. It was the time for people like us to establish a meeting between us."

"I see. So, that's how it is… That's how the system of this world works." Theo nodded in understanding. He finally realized the truth about the blessing.

"With this, I've fulfilled my promise. I hope that you don't tell anyone about this secret because it's far more important than Order and Authority. The emotion must be genuine, so they can't fake that emotion just to establish the connection. That's why I've never told you about it the entire time. If you're aware of this information, you'll always think about this power whenever you have an emotional fluctuation.

"I can understand that, and the world will become chaotic if the people, who know this information, are trying to manipulate innocent people. But isn't this what you want in the first place? You want me to create chaos around the world as your emissary. And I think I can do it in a few months since my identity reveal will cause a huge uproar all around the world." Theo explained.

"Aren't you already aware of the real reason why I want chaos in the world?"

"To prevent the higher being from resetting civilization like how they'd done it in the past." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"See? I am a good person. I created chaos the way I liked while saving the world? Killing two birds with one stone."

"Saving the world? Do you think I'll believe that?" Theo snorted. "You just want to annoy those beings in the higher dimension. In fact, you've been trying to affect their emotions with all of your mischiefs. Ending the world faster than they intended too might make them annoyed… Causing the death of the most loved god to make them sad… and so on. Don't you think so?"

The God of Mischief smirked as he snapped his finger, sending Theo back to the real world. However, he still said one last word. "Smartass."
