God of Tricksters

After getting a checkup, Theo turned the mummy king into cards and received two cards.

Skill: Hand of Darkness (C)

Effect: Allow the user with Dark Affinity to naturally gather the Magic Power around his body.

Coal Bandage (B)

Closing external wounds within seconds. Effective until it is covered with other substances.

He didn't really need the skill, but the Material Card seemed to be good for him. At the very least, he had something to treat him in an emergency.

And no one dared to ask him for the reward because he killed the mummy king by himself. They only swallowed their anger and glared at Theo when he did all this.

The next process went smoothly and the group could return to Ark City within two days.

As soon as they returned to Ark City, Nart decided to talk to him alone by pulling him over. It seemed to be serious, so Theo agreed with him and stepped over to the side.

"Can I help you?" Theo asked with a calm expression.

"I just want to apologize." Nart let out a long sigh as he seemed to be a bit troubled by something.

"Apologize for what?"

Nart glanced at Nadia and tilted his head as if telling him the reason. "Do you know that my Eilric Family has something to do with your Griffith Family?"

"This is my first time hearing it." Theo raised his eyebrows in surprise but soon frowned, feeling something wasn't right.

"Hmm, I can't really say much about your family because of the rule, but you can say your Griffith Family has three vassal families. The Eilric Family is one of them."

"Well, I don't even know that is the case. Was it also the reason you approached me?" Theo asked.

"Yes and no." Nart shrugged. "The first time I met you, I didn't know about your identity. Later someone told me about your status and that was when I started to do it."

"Hmm, okay? So, what do you want to do?" Theo let out a long sigh. "To be honest, I am too tired to even care at this point."

"I just want to tell you that she…" Nart glanced at Nadia, "She doesn't like your family that much. I don't know if you have felt it or not, but yeah…"

Nart had difficulty in saying it because the matter was related to both Theo and his daughter-in-law.

"Hmm, I don't really care. As long as she doesn't harm me or anything, yeah sure." Theo nodded.

"Yeah. I think she will check you once before returning to Egypt."

"Okay."

"Okay, good." Nart thought for a moment. "Do you know where my mansion is? Do you want to get a ride?"

"Nah, I'm going to go back to my house first to do a few things before going there… Never mind, the sun is almost set. I will go there in the morning. What do you think?"

"Sounds good to me." Nart nodded and patted his shoulder. "Alright. See you tomorrow."

Theo then stepped back and watched Nart walking to Nadia.

Meanwhile, Ellen and Phyrill came to him.

Phyrill was obviously happy to know that his people were fine. He patted Theo's shoulders and said with a smile. "No need to think about them. You're not obligated to use your own power, especially if it endangers your life. I am just thankful that most of my men are still alive because of you. Thanks."

"You're welcome. I'm just paying you back for the information and the opportunity." Theo shook Phyrill's hand.

"Thank you for saving my life this whole time." Ellen stepped forward and thanked him.

"It's fine. You took care of me the most when I just started. Think of it as repayment for everything you have done." Theo nodded.

Ellen hugged him to show her thanks and whispered, "Good luck in your journey. I know that it's going to be hard, but I believe you can do it. Keep working hard."

"I will, thanks." Theo nodded and stepped back, watching them leave.

Alea wanted to come, but she needed to reorganize the group and send them back home. When she had finished, Theo had already returned to his home.

Ava quickly jumped out of the bag and landed on the floor. "Kyu!"

"Do you want to take a bath?" Theo raised his eyebrows. "Sure. I am gonna order some food right now, so you can wash yourself first."

"Kyu, Kyu!" Ava's eyes brightened as she looked at Theo with expectations.

"Yeah, yeah. I will order your favorite food." Theo shook his head helplessly. After seeing Ava going to the bath, Theo ordered pizzas.

Finally, after relaxing on his couch, Theo didn't feel like doing anything and just closed his eyes, remembering the image of his Death Avatar. The scene was still fresh in his mind.

"Underworld Dominion, Death Avatar," Theo muttered its name before coming to a realization. "First Authority, Death Eyes, huh."

Theo recalled when Hela wanted to meet him because her strength was the hardest and the longest to master, so she wanted more time.

He couldn't help but mutter, "So that's how it is. Death Eyes is a skill that relies on Awareness and Control. I don't know the details, but I am sure of it, considering I have experienced it.

"No, I should say that I can use Death Eyes since it's a skill. However, if I want to make it even stronger, I need to learn this trick from the Goddess like what I have done with my Materialization. In that case, does this mean I am gonna get this Underworld Dominion skill?

"That's right. What is the use of this upgraded version of my eyes." Theo looked down. "How do I activate or use it? And when exactly can one receive a skill? There are requirements that shouldn't be asked, but yeah, I'm curious."

"Well, I don't care about the requirements for now. What I want to know is the upgraded version of my eyes. I don't want to be reprimanded by Jormungand again." Theo shook his head helplessly. The serpent was the calmest, but somehow, his words were the hardest to take.

"Anyway, I will try to find it during the next two weeks."
