God of Tricksters

"It's fine," said Agata while wiping her tears.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm living well here. I have been involved in a few projects. Although I'm not as good as you, employing a few of your tricks is enough to pique others' interests. So, I'm still highly regarded around here. I'm currently working with Zhao Jia."

"I see." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "Though, I want to ask you whether Ergene has come to you or not. Considering her next destination should be that place. Or maybe the top ten experts from Indonesia, Tirta Kurniawan."

"Yes. They have arrived." Agata nodded. "Right now, I'm with Ryo and Ergene, so we're safe here since there are three top ten experts in this place. Unfortunately, Mr. Chand from India has fallen after fighting against two World Class Monsters."

"I understand. It seems that I can't ask her to go back to Indonesia. It's going to be dangerous, so… just remain there. I'm pretty sure that Maya is going to connect to the world again. At that time, we'll be able to meet."

"How long will it be… I wonder." Agata sighed.

"Haha, she's working hard right now, so I'm pretty sure that we can soon meet. At most, two to three years."

"Alright. I'll be patient. Though, where do you live right now? Is everyone fine?"

"Yep. There's not much you need to worry about. As for where I live… I won't say anything for now."

"I understand. It seems that you don't have much time."

"As much as I want to continue talking to you, I still have something to do. Tell Ergene and Ryo that I'm good, and they don't need to worry about the rest, okay?"

"Yeah. I hope that everything will be fine."

"By the way, I'm going to Russia right now. Is there any information there?"

"Yes. There is a massive evacuation by planes as well, and it seems that the people in Russia are going to the EU Base instead of this place. I don't know about the details though."

"That's good. Though I don't know what happens to the Czar…" Theo sighed.

"I'll try to gather more and more information. It's not like you're planning to live in the wilderness for a long time, right? I'm sure that you're going to infiltrate the EU Base again for more information."

"You know me well." Theo smirked. "But for now, I've to get stronger fast."

"I understand. I can't help you with anything. I can just pray for your well-being."

Theo waved his hand with a smile while hanging up.

After that, he called Maya.

Just like Agata, she was also surprised that Theo called her. But unlike Agata, Maya was in the middle of her sleep. She woke up because of the call and picked it up with a sleepy face. "Theo? Am I dreaming right now?"

"Nope. You're not dreaming. I am near a place with a satellite connection, so I can contact you right now."

Upon hearing that, Maya immediately rose from her bed and rubbed her eyes to see Theo closely. "It's real. What the hell…"

"You're that shock?" Theo shook his head helplessly. "How's the situation on your side?"

"It's quite good. The big base has been completed, and we're now starting to expand. Of course, since I have stocked up materials and equipment, I have become a very influential person here. Hahahaha!"

"I'm glad that you're having fun." Theo chuckled.

"By the way, I'm still working on the airplane. Because of the current density of Magic Power, it seems that we can create an airplane with Magic Power as fuel. It can make the airplane lighter and has the capability to employ a few defensive mechanisms, allowing us to travel in this situation. It might look like a warship though, but traveling around the world should be fine. Just a bit expensive."

"I see. That's good to hear. How long do you need to complete it?"

"I'm not sure. If we're lucky, we can make a breakthrough in a year, but I guess I set up the expectation around two years. It already includes the testing time and such."

"That's good enough for me."

"What are you planning to do now?"

"Actually, I want to ask you whether you can retrieve something for me in Mexico and Argentina."

Maya furrowed her eyebrows and ended up shaking her head. "Impossible. It's not like I don't want to help you, but it's impossible to send people there, even Ruth. In Mexico, there is a World Class Monster, so unless the Time God personally makes his move, it's impossible to go to Mexico, let alone Argentina."

"I see. I'll abandon that thought then."

"What kind of thing do you want me to retrieve by the way?"

"Just some structures." Theo shook his head. "Anyway, I'm going to Russia for a while, so I will be out of contact."

"Russia? Why?"

"Retrieving the same thing. I'm also going to challenge some King Class Monsters to get stronger, and the Mutated Monsters kinda piqued my interest. I'm just going to explore this new world after the apocalypse to learn more about it."

"My business is not in that area, so I can't say anything. But what do you want me to do from now on?"

"Yes. I have an important task for you. I want you to put some people to research the change in the world, especially the nest of monsters. Knowing that the strong monsters will cause a great effect, I want you to track all of them down with satellites. Also, find a way to predict monsters' movement. It'll be useful for your airplane business."

"I understand. Since I have received the plan from the great Theodore Griffith, I'll surely follow it." Maya smirked. "Do you want me to keep track of the EU Base, especially the Griffith Family?"

"No need. I'll be dealing with them personally."

"Got it."

"Take care, will you? Ruth too."

"Mhm. See you." Maya smiled and hung up.

Now that he had finished all his worries, Theo's mind could finally focus on the purpose of this journey.

Theo looked at the horizon with an excited smile.

"Let's go, shall we? The first destination should be a King Class Monster! Let's fight a King Class Monster."
