God of Tricksters

"It's still hard to believe the deal. It's simply too good for me." The Space Saint narrowed his eyes. He felt if something was good to be true, it was probably a trap. So, he had to see what Theo wanted.

"Of course. I also have a condition I want you to fulfill as well as get the necessary information to check on your progress."

"Hmm…" The Space Saint thought for a moment. "If you think you can use' I'm going to tell you about the condition after you accept,' I'm telling you that it's useless. I won't agree unless I know the condition."

"It's not a big problem." Theo smiled. "I'd like to use your ability."

"My ability? For what?"

Theo raised his finger. "I need you to help me teleport someone. You've told me that you could easily infiltrate the human base with your ability. So, I don't think it'll be a big problem if you use this ability to teleport a few people, right?"

"…" The Space Saint furrowed his eyebrows. "I'm telling you this, but I'm not going to help you, humans. You should know about that, right?"

"Absolutely. I'm not asking you to teleport a human." Theo smirked.

"Then, I only have one condition for that teleportation. It requires a lot of power, so that person has to come to me personally or I won't agree with this."

"Alright. I'll do my best to bring him to you." Theo nodded in agreement. "As for the second condition…"

"I have been working with a few Saints and Kings to fix the tunnel. We've realized how much power is needed to create that tunnel, including the lack of a few Saints. Your existence is one of the most needed right now, so if you help us, we should be able to create a prototype.

"We don't want to live here because we're more comfortable in that place…" The Space Saint paused for a moment. "Before I tell you the rest, are you going to leave after this? How do I know that you won't be leaving for good? Although I have some confidence in finding you, it won't be easy work either."

Theo pointed to the side as he summoned his clone.

"!!!" The Space Saint was startled, finding someone exactly looking like Theo. Even the Magic Power and Authority were identical.

"I'm planning to send my clone to fetch that guy," said Theo with confidence. It seemed that he had prepared for everything.

The way Theo summoned his clone had two meanings. The first one was that Theo could fool him with his clone and escape. The second one was a sign of trust. Theo had the option to run away, but he chose not to because he wanted to honor the agreement.

He didn't know what Theo wanted to say. So, he had to say, "Alright. I can accept the condition. But you're going to be with me the whole time. If you fool me this time, I'm going to unleash all my power to set a fire in your base."

"Of course. I never lied to you. If I say I'll help, I'll help." Theo nodded in agreement.

"Alright then." The Space Saint nodded.

"I'm going to remind you that the agreement is like this. During this period, I'll be helping you with the creation of the tunnel. In exchange, you're going to help me to teleport a certain guy to the base. After the war is over, I'm going to help you restore reality and we hope there's no war between us. Do we have a deal?" Theo smirked.

The Space Saint listened attentively, making sure he didn't leave a single word behind. There was nothing wrong with the agreement, so he accepted that deal. "Alright. We don't want to have anything to do with this world anyway, so there's no need for a war between us."

Theo extended his hand, asking for a handshake. "Although you don't like humans, you're dealing with one right now. In our custom, if we have a deal, we would do a handshake…"

The Space Saint hesitated for a moment. But as Theo said, he was a human, so he had to do this. At the very least, this would show that he trusted Theo enough.

The Space Saint ended up shaking Theo's hand with great difficulty.

With this, they reached an agreement. And Theo didn't hesitate to send his clone away, leaving him alone with the Space Saint.

Although he had to make another trip, the agreement had given him a lot more options.

The Space Saint didn't know it yet, but he had made a deal with a trickster.

Theo might never lie to someone, but it didn't mean he would tell him the whole truth. There was always a hidden meaning behind every agreement.

And Theo hid a big plan within that agreement.

Theo maintained his poker face, but he had a big smile inwardly. If he showed this expression, the Space Saint would have been thoroughly angered.

"Alright. Please follow me. I'm going to lead you to another place." The Space Saint sighed, preparing a teleportation.

"Wait a minute. If you're going to teleport, won't it mean you have broken your agreement since I can't find you after this?" Theo asked, reminding the Space Saint.

The Space Saint looked down, contemplating. Theo was right. He didn't want to reveal the location to Theo, so there was only one option left. And Theo suggested it.

"How about we wait here? In the meantime, you can tell me about everything you've done so far. This way, I'll have a great understanding of the situation and what I should do when we get there."

The Space Saint was actually considering Theo's words.

Unbeknownst to him, this was actually a test from Theo. He just wanted to know how far he could manipulate the Space Saint.

"Alright. I'll stay here and tell you about the situation. But you don't have a lot of time…

The Space Saint actually agreed. Even Theo couldn't help but think, 'How easy…'
