God of Tricksters



"Well, I have just understood why that man is considered to be the strongest person in the world." Leonardo let out a sigh.

The Time God wasn't the only person who got annoyed by the order. Leonardo also didn't like relying on other people, especially the Time God.

He only did it because that was the only plan he could use in order to restore Theo's plan.

They had deviated a bit from the original plan after all.

Now that twenty King Class Monsters had died, humanity finally had enough strength to contain the remaining King Class Monsters.

Agata nodded her head. "True. He managed to kill a few King Class Monsters so effortlessly. I can kind of see why he can achieve that position.

"In a head-on fight, even I can't think of any possible way for Theo to defeat him." Agata shook her head helplessly.

She must have hated to admit it, but she also had the courage to say it. Even though Theo was strong, his strength was still incomparable to the Time God. She could say that Theo had surpassed the Sword Saint and might be equal to the Heavenly Sovereign, but not the Time God.

However, Agata added, "Still, if a head-on confrontation is all there is to a fight, humans don't need a brain. It's because there is a gap of power that a human will become creative and harder to beat. That's why I can still say this, even if Theo can't defeat him in a head-on fight, it doesn't mean Theo will lose."

Leonardo, who heard her speech, couldn't help but smile. "You understand it well."

"That's right. If a head-on confrontation is all there is to a fight, then we don't need a brain. And I don't need to be here." Leonardo smirked and turned around, looking at the screens. "It's because it's not all about it that I'm here. And with me here, I will do my best to achieve victory."

There were multiple movements on the battlefield coming from Leonardo's orders. In all those battlefields, the humans began to push the monsters back.

It was solely for this reason that Leonardo was feared by the world. And this was why despite not having the strongest strength in the world, Theo was still considered the greatest man.

After all, it was due to Theo placing him in this position that the Time God ended up getting ordered by Leonardo.

Many understood this and gave leadership to Theo.

Theo was a man who had the strength and brain to win against someone stronger than him.

But of course, even though Theo could win, he never felt good enough. His strength still kept progressing at a rapid rate, and in this battle, he was going to surpass that limit once again and became both the strongest and greatest man in the world.

…

Still, even though the Time God had arrived on the battlefield, he took thirty minutes to reach the battlefield.

There were a lot of things happening within those thirty minutes, especially for the Magma Dragon.

*Roar!*

The Magma Dragon let out a roar while glaring at the monster before him. His opponent wasn't easy, but it didn't change the fact that he was going to win.

After all, he had made a promise.

The Magma Dragon couldn't help but glance at the Lightning Saint in the opposite direction.

He was fighting the hidden monster that the slime had prepared.

…

A few weeks ago.

After the Magma Dragon recovered most of the outer injuries, he could finally stop for a moment to talk with the Lightning Saint.

Despite being saved, the Magma Dragon was glaring at him. "To think you would be the one to save me. Why are you here? Do you think saving me will make me forget about the past?"

The Lightning Saint didn't care about the provocation. In fact, he could still make a small smile as if he was reminded of something.

"Why are you laughing?" The Magma Dragon gritted his teeth.

The Lightning Saint shook his head and said, "I don't intend to apologize for my past mistake, nor did I save you from making you forgive me. The reason I saved you was simply because you are my kin."

The Magma Dragon gritted his teeth and let out a thunderous roar. "Because I'm your kin?! If you truly think that way, there's no way you abandon the entire dragon race, Dragon King!"

The Lightning Saint smiled. "That's exactly the reason. It's because I love my race that I have to leave. The Dragon Race won't prosper under my rule. I'm just a nerd who loves to know everything in this world. I'm not suited to be a ruler.

"However, I still haven't forgotten who I am. I'm a Dragon. Because of our small population, I can't let a dragon die easily."

The Magma Dragon was frustrated and angry. "I truly hate you. We always respect the strong and you, the strongest of all, are always the target of our admiration. There is no other dragon suitable to be our king other than you. A nerd? You sure are quite comfortable with humans to even adopt that word."

"I am not here to talk about the past or the reason." The Lightning Saint shook his head. "There is another reason to save you. I am already near the end of my lifespan. Yet, in this condition, there is a problem that might endanger all living beings in this world.

"And I know that my strength alone won't be enough to fight them. That's why I need as many allies as I can gather.

"I told you earlier… I still haven't forgotten who I am… I still haven't forgotten the pride of a dragon, my strength, and our purpose.

"The reason I'm here talking to you is for one thing. I don't ask you to respect me or anything. I know that I have run away from my responsibility.

"But there will be no more dragon races in this world if the enemies manage to defeat the human race."

"!!!" The Magma Dragon suddenly fell silent as if he understood what he was talking about. "You… Don't tell me…"

The Lightning Saint smiled. "No matter what prices I have to pay, I will make sure that I don't run away again this time… even if I have to die, I'll make sure that the Dragon Race can live on. That's why…"

The Lightning Saint paused for a moment and looked into the Magma Dragon's eyes. "…I ask you to lend me your strength."
