God of Tricksters

Theo knew it would be hard to convert the Space Saint from a bystander to an ally. But he was confident he could somehow convince the Space Saint to trust him.

Theo added, "I can promise you three things. First, I'm going to fix the reality as soon as it's over. Second, this crack won't become worse than the current condition. If it's by any chance showing any sign of deteriorating, I'll do everything in my power to fix it, including paying the price with my own life.

"Last but not least, I assure you that everything will be restored within a year or two. As someone who has a long lifespan, I'm sure one or two years are bearable for you, right?"

​ Theo's promise wasn't too big but couldn't be easily accepted either.

As he said, one or two years should be fine as long as the condition doesn't deteriorate. And Theo even gave his assurance to do everything he needed to fix it in case the worst thing happened.

Theo might be lying just to fool him, but the Space Saint didn't feel Theo was lying. He had a sharp instinct, so he could tell when someone was lying or not.

And to his surprise, Theo had never lied to him despite him making a lot of complex demands and questions to Theo.

The Space Saint looked down, contemplating. There was no downside to this agreement. If Theo survived, he would repair reality. If he didn't survive, reality could be restored with time.

However, there was one thing that didn't escape his eyes. The Space Saint added a condition, "I won't be helping you in your fight, Reality Saint."

"…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows. He believed the Space Saint didn't understand the severity of this matter, so he had to remind him. "You might not know this, but the moment I lose, this world might be destroyed by the slime."

The Space Saint didn't have a change of expression. It might look like he didn't care about it, but the Space Saint seemed to have confidence that Theo couldn't describe.

The Space Saint actually raised three fingers and said, "I have three reasons why I refuse to fight with you. The first one is the simplest. I don't like humans."

"You don't like humans? Yet, you're asking from one?"

"No. I'm simply asking the Reality Saint's help. You just happen to be a human." The Space Saint shook his head, reminding Theo that he didn't care who to beg as long as they could complete the job. Theo just happened to be a human, so he had to ask him, of course, as the Reality Saint, not a human.

Theo understood it perfectly, but he had to ask, "Why do you not like humans?"

The Space Saint waved his hands as if pointing at their surroundings. "What do you think about this place, Reality Saint?"

"Hmm? There's nothing special?" Theo was confused as to what answer the Space Saint wanted to hear. So, he didn't give any concrete answer.

As if he already expected Theo would give this answer, the Space Saint raised one finger. "There is one thing that I can see from this place. It's beautiful.

"I won't praise other creatures for being not greedy. I know they are greedy too, but there is a big difference between them and humans.

"You humans always destroy everything in your way while the others are taking care of it.

"They might live with their strength as the number one priority, but it's far better than the humans who are destroying this world just to satisfy their greed.

"For their own objective, they can do everything. What do you think about those things you called summoners?

"They are capturing the souls of the monsters' souls who are supposed to go to nirvana and using them to fight. There are even those who capture the monsters themselves and domesticate them. You treat us like nothing. We are not your pet or slave. We are also the proud race in this world."

Theo closed his eyes for a moment. Those words had solid proof. And even though he was one of the humans, he didn't plan to fight for them in an argument like this.

Theo said, "And it seems that because of your hatred of humans, you're planning to do something… Even if I fail to kill the enemy, I'm afraid you have prepared a plan."

The Space Saint was surprised that Theo could see through his preparation. He hesitated for a moment. But after remembering how Theo didn't even protect humans, he ended up giving the answer. "I'm planning to create a tunnel and go back to the other world."

"…" Theo frowned. The tunnel he was talking about must be to the other world. But that world was in another dimension. So, he didn't know whether the Space Saint had the ability to do it or not.

Though, the other world might be the safest place to live in since it wasn't bothered by humans anymore. And the monsters he brought back would be the progenitors of all monsters that would populate that world.

That was why Theo was a bit skeptical about this plan. But he also wished he could succeed for one reason after another.

Theo fell into deep thought and came up with an idea. He suggested with a smile. "What is your plan about that tunnel? What if I give you some help in building that tunnel?"

"!!!" The monster was shocked by the offer. After all, he already knew that it was impossible to create the tunnel without the help of multiple Saints. So, he had been gathering people from all around the world to fix the tunnel, but there was no success yet.

It seemed Theo had some ideas about the reasons why they failed, making him want to recruit Theo at this instant.

But he still didn't know why Theo offered his help when he himself had yet to give something to Theo. There was something fishy, but the offer was simply too big to reject.

This was a hard decision.
