God of Tricksters

Seeing there was no answer after Ava, Agata changed the topic back. "Anyway, that's not important right now. We only need to know that the attack will come, but it's still at the level we can handle. As for the west point, I think it's better to put the King of Fighters there.

"Theo has taught the Great Mage's daughter, so their relationship isn't that bad. So, we should put him in the southwest point so that he can take care of the King of Fighters' problem in case something happens. And with Felix standing by in the middle, he can take care of the gap if that area is under attack. What do you think?"

"That's a good solution. I don't know about the last Transcendent Level Expert, but with Ruth stationed near that area, I think we can rest assured." Rea agreed with the suggestion.

When they had just finished the arrangement, Nella suddenly spoke. "Wait a minute. I just got confirmation…"

"The Griffith Family will help us?" Agata asked.

"Theo has contacted them earlier and they'll give their full attention to this matter… uncle Ray said…" Nella fell silent after informing them. Her expression was distorted.

Agata and the others that understood the relationship between Theo and his parents became serious. This wasn't a simple matter.

Theo didn't want anything to do with his parents. So, him asking his parents' help showed how severe the situation was.

Agata clenched her fists, knowing how much burden Theo had. But it seemed she had misunderstood the situation as Nella said, "Ah, don't worry. The situation doesn't seem to be that bad. At least, you don't have to worry about the relationship between them."

Of course, Ray had told Nella that Theo already wanted to talk and that this battle was just an excuse to hold it instead of Theo using the talk as a reward for their participation.

The latter showed how Theo manipulated his parents into fighting for him. He knew that his parents would go all the way to sacrifice their lives to resolve their hatred.

That was why Theo chose the former. He already wanted to talk, so this battle was used to remove the awkwardness they would have when they met.

Agata had lived together with Ray and Valerie for a while, so she could understand Theo's parents a bit. That was why she felt relieved when Nella confirmed their relationship.

She could ask them at a later date anyway.

After taking a deep breath, Agata addressed the next issue. "Then, where should we put them?"

"Uncle Ray is a powerful Transcendent Level Expert. I still believe that he is stronger than the King of Fighters, so why don't we ask him to protect the west point?" Nella asked.

Rea shook her head, rejecting the idea. "I think it's better if we bolster the front where most fights will occur. This way, there will be three Transcendent Level Experts holding our front."

"That's true." Agata nodded. "Au… Valerie has enough ability to plan ahead after seeing the situation. She might not be as good as Marzio, the current head of the War God Family, but she's not that far off.

"With her stationed between Ava and Rea, she can handle the deployment of the reserve army."

Rea frowned and asked Agata, "Why am I not the one in the center? I mean, I can use my reputation as his student to order people around. I'm sure they will listen to my words and I also have the ability to send reinforcements."

"No. There is a big difference between you and Valerie." Agata shook her head helplessly. "You will be fighting in the front line as a Transcendent Level Expert, while Valerie will be the commander that handles the deployment since Ray will take care of the battle. Looking at this setup, it's clear that Valerie will have more time and attention to formulate a concrete plan."

"I see." Rea nodded. Although she wanted to use this occasion to show the world that Theo wasn't wrong in making her his disciple, she wasn't that hot-headed to stop caring about others' opinions. She accepted Agata's arrangement without hesitation since Theo would only reprimand her no matter how well she performed if she still insisted on getting stationed in the middle.

Felix remained silent the whole time because he was observing them. There was also one thing he realized after this meeting. If Theo was in charge, he might ask Agata or Rea to formulate the basic plan while he worked on the rest. They wouldn't spend a lot of time planning since Theo's words were kind of absolute in their mind. Of course, it wasn't an order, but they believed Theo's plan was the best one, so they had to just follow him blindly.

Now that Theo wasn't here, even Agata and Rea had to ask about others' opinions since they weren't sure whether the plan was right or wrong.

Felix might be the leader of this operation, but it didn't change the fact that he was only a figurehead.

He decided it would be better if he remained silent and listened to their opinions. Though, there was one thing that he had to ask the others. "By the way, how do we approach the Time God?"

"The Time God will remain in the base, protecting the core of the base in case one of the points is breached. Instead of him, we should think about who will go with who." Agata waved her hand, brushing the matter about the Time God. She wanted to use him as an assurance to the population that even if they failed, there was still the Time God to protect them.

Agata looked at the team, picking on the members.

"Since we have three Transcendent Level Experts, we will split our group into three. Each Transcendent Level Expert will be the leader. As for the team members…"

Agata fell silent, trying to formulate the best team where they could fix each other's weaknesses.
