God of Tricksters

After taking care of the whole area, Theo and his people regrouped with the support team.

"Everything is done. The area within a one-mile radius is free of monsters. The military can set up their base here and begin expanding accordingly." Eleanor reported while checking the underground with her mice.

"Good. Have you told them yet?" Theo asked Akbar.

"Yes. They have begun marching to this place. According to our information, they have ten battalions coming to this place together with all the necessary workers to set up the base. Their ETA is three hours."

"Mhm…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows.

"What's wrong? Is there a mistake in their movement?" Akbar asked. He was afraid he had screwed up.

Theo didn't answer him. Instead, Theo ordered a few people. "Rea. Bring Felix, Ruth, Walker, and Coline to help them. Tell them as well that they have to speed up."

"Understood." Rea nodded with a serious expression. Her mind was trying to figure out the real reason why Theo wanted to speed up the process, but no answer came to her mind, confusing her.

She glanced at Felix and the others, but they didn't seem to have the answer as well. So, she could only leave to help the military.

"By the way, where are we going to place our base?" Akbar asked.

Theo pointed in the southeast direction. "Here."

"Why do you choose that place? Well, I can see that there is a water supply there from the river, but that place will be dangerous."

"I know. But what I fear is not the monsters around that place."

"You fear something?" Akbar was more surprised, knowing Theo feared something compared to his decision. After all, they had to worry about something that could scare Theo.

"I'm still not sure, but I believe there is going to be a battle pretty soon. And that place will be strategic for us."

"Another battle? We've just ended our fight with the Griffith Family and the mutated monsters. Are you telling us we'll face a similar battle to that one?"

"Yes. I can't say anything for certain yet, but I'll surely inform you once I'm sure about it."

"Got it." Akbar nodded and accepted Theo's explanation and choice.

Meanwhile, what others thought was not their plan or anything else. Instead, it was Theo's relationship with Rea.

Isaac couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Theo. Is your relationship with Rea…"

"I have become her teacher." Theo nodded.

They were astonished because Theo finally had a student. The others kept getting advice from him, and Theo should be qualified to be a teacher this whole time, yet, he never took anyone. It was quite surprising to see Theo break it.

"I see. Rea, huh." Isaac contemplated for a moment. "What should I call her after this?"

"Who knows? I don't think there's any difference." Aisha shook her head.

"That's not important. There is one more thing that I want you to do." Theo pointed at the map again. "Akbar. I want you to set up a perimeter in this area. If there is something, call me immediately."

"Understood. Are you going somewhere?"

"Yes." Theo then turned to Isaac. "As for you, I have a project for you."

"What is it?"

"I want you to keep track of the chemical in this region, like a factory or even household waste. I need the map. Do you think you can do it?"

"Well, I have to open the research about it. Since I'm used to reading this kind of paper, I should have no problem finding one."

"Good. I want the map as soon as possible."

"OK." Isaac agreed even though he didn't understand why Theo wanted to know about the chemical.

After that, Theo gave the last order. "Eleanor. I want you to spread your mice by using their animal instinct. I mean, try to let them ransack people's houses to find out about trash. Is there any factory that deals with waste or trash here? I want you to keep an eye on that area if there is one."

"Got it." Eleanor noticed the reason why he gave her this task because her mouse might be able to find those areas.

"Alright. That's all for now. I will leave the protection here to Jeff, Chris, and Akbar."

"Understood." The rest of them acknowledged the order, seeing Theo off.

They thought Theo wanted to leave for another place to get a lot of Skill Cards, but he had no intention of doing so at the moment.

Instead, Theo had a more important matter.

Theo headed straight to the area where he was going to build their base. His goal here was to hunt these monsters by using all his strength.

However, there was a hidden intention of him going alone instead of bringing anyone else.

Theo opened his status.

"Hmm… I'm only 29 levels away from level 900. Unlike the world before the apocalypse, no one will realize my level before I reach level 1,000. This is an advantage to me because no one will hunt me down.

"However, there is something that bothers me… My status is too low compared to the God of Mischief and the Goddess of Death. Is it because I haven't absorbed enough herbs or artifacts to increase my power?

"Now that I have become a Saint, I can see the world more clearly. Back then, I didn't question much when absorbing the energy from the artifact.

"Back then, the God of Mischief or the others absorbed the Order left behind by the people in the past, and the pure energy could go to me.

"How's that work anyway?"
