God of Tricksters-Chapter 1928: Doubt

"I still can't find any reason why you find human's characters interesting! We are different from you!"

Theo smiled. "That might become the reason why you lose your life in the future. Of course, I won't tell you not to trust your people. I'm simply giving you a warning."

"…" The Space Saint thought for a moment and asked, "Then, why can you trust your partner and your group?"

"It's simple. They have changed… They are not a bystander anymore." Theo smiled.

"Huh?" The Space Saint was completely confused. He tried to comprehend Theo's way of thinking. But all he could think was that Theo never put any trust in humans. But when they had changed from a normal human to a certain person in his heart, that was where the trust appeared.

In other words, he didn't trust humans, but he trusted his people as if he never treated his people like normal humans anymore.

Although he was not entirely correct, he wasn't wrong either.

Theo had lost all hope in humanity. In fact, he fought for them not because he loved humanity, but because he wanted to create a world where his wife and future generations could live.

In other words, he wasn't that great of a person either. He was extremely selfish and saving humans was just one of the things he needed to do.

And this was how Theo had been walking on his path the whole time. He believed there was no need to change.

But there was another reason why Theo talked about this to the Space Saint. He had been 'abducted' by the Space Saint to help them. In exchange, they assured him that the monsters in their group wouldn't attack humans since all they wanted was to return to their original world.

And the Space Saint even added that he would teleport Theo back to the base as thanks for his help.

It seemed the effect had become visible. There was a hint of distrust in the Space Saint's eyes.

After this, the Space Saint might start to fear the people around him, doubting them. Even if he could achieve everything, he would think that people would try to harm him.

And there was one more reason why Theo wanted to do this. This world had absorbed the other world's features. Magic Power, some plants, minerals and so on.

So, even if they managed to go back, they would be facing a harsh situation.

As for the Space Saint, who gave all these ideas, he would be facing a lot of criticism. In fact, it might be worse than he imagined.

All the Space Saint wanted to do was to lead them back to their former world, but when they reached that place, they might scorn him because of the lack of resources in that world.

And with this distrust feeling planted in his heart, he might become paranoid and stop trusting his people. At the very least, he wouldn't be so hurt when his people began to show their distrust.

From this day onward, the Space Saint might have to live his life in fear for the rest of his life.

The Space Saint frowned and waved his hand as if trying to brush away this matter. "Whatever. You can think all you want about humans. All I need to know is that the way we live is different from humans."

"Alright then. I won't say anything after you say that." Theo shrugged. "You can believe whatever you want."

"In that case, you should focus on your current progress. Remember, the longer you take to complete this tunnel, the longer you will have to stay here."

"Of course. Have a good day." Theo smiled.

"Hmph." The Space Saint harrumphed and walked away. He looked a bit annoyed, but he still maintained his composure. At the very least, it didn't look like he was disturbed by what he had said earlier.

But he didn't realize that Theo had entered his head. He even subconsciously glanced around as if he was observing the monsters.

Theo was smiling inwardly as his plan had succeeded. Even though he was 'abducted' by the monster, Theo wasn't someone who would go down without a fight.

He already had another plan even if he couldn't be there for his people.

But no one knew about Theo's plan. There was no thought about his plan in his head. Even Theo couldn't put his plan into words.

After all, Theo's plan was in the form of a vision. It was a vision where he killed all his enemies.

But after getting exposed by Loki this whole time, Theo developed a strange habit where he came up with a plan without thinking about it. And this habit continued to be developed and polished to the point he knew what to do as long as he knew his goal.

And this was only the start.

The monsters didn't realize that Theo had put a 'root' underneath the ground. The root stretched so far and would impact all these monsters.

But whether the root would attack this monster or not, only Theo could decide it.

Theo looked at the Space Saint until he disappeared. After that, he raised his head, staring into the bright sky.

He couldn't help but raise his hand, trying to grasp the sky. He was missing Agata and the others. There were also Lyrventh and Lydia.

And with the current crisis they were facing, Theo wished that he could complete his plans before it was too late.

'Don't worry. I am doing something here. Although I can't be with you guys right now, I know that I'll be there on time.

'Even if the chance is low, I won't stop trying until the last second. I'll make sure to create a world for us to live in.'

Theo closed his eyes for a moment as if trying to shift his focus back to work. When he opened his eyes again, he left one message before going back to his work.

'I, Theodore Griffith, never lie.'
