“Look at them, Theo. To think those two fools actually think they can outsmart the God of Mischief and the God of Tricksters.”

Theo rolled his eyes. “I’m a human and will refer myself as such. Though, if it’s just a title, I guess it’s pretty suitable for me. But yeah… those with obsession are always easy to control.”

With a single wave of his hand, the bottle and the popcorn disappeared since everything was just an illusion.

They just let the slime and the Time God think they had killed them.

The Time God’s expression turned grim. “You… How are you still alive? I thought I had killed both you and your clone…”

The God of Mischief shook his head in disappointment. “Look at this dude, he asked me again even though I’ve told him the answer a few times already…”

“Well, whatever.” Theo shrugged. He lifted his body in the air, showing to the world that Theodore Griffith hadn’t died.

The God of Mischief shrugged his shoulders, doing the same. With their sudden appearance, the world was shocked once again.

The slime wobbled his body as if he had come to a realization. Meanwhile, the Time God gritted his teeth while shouting, “How… I should have stopped your—!”

Before he finished his words, trigrams appeared both on top of his head and beneath his shoes.

“!!!” The Time God hurriedly used his Time to stop the trigrams, but surprisingly, the trigrams couldn’t be frozen. They continued to release their Magic Power and eventually erupted their elements.

The top released a fiery red flame while the other summoned a chilling ice crystal.

The Time God gritted his teeth, using his Time to accelerate the movement of his body. His body glitched before it suddenly disappeared.

It only took a second before he reappeared next to the slime. His right shoulder was charred by the flame while the ice crystal grazed his left thigh.

“Kh.” The Time God raised his head, finding the real culprit of that attack. After all, there was only one person that had this kind of ability. “Feng Hao.”

Yes, Feng Hao had stood next to Theo and the God of Mischief while smirking. “How could my ambush fail? This was my first attack of the day… Tsk, what a bummer.”

“I already told you that a surprise attack wouldn’t work that well for an opponent of that level.” Theo sighed.

With this, Loki, Theo, Hel, and Feng Hao were standing side by side, ready to fight the slime and the Time God.

“I see… We’ve been had.” The slime, who had been silent this whole time, finally spoke up. It seemed that he had realized everything, especially from Feng Hao’s words. “You have seen through everything before the battle even begins… That’s why you used your own clone to imitate the so-called Heavenly Sovereign…”

“Hahaha!” The God of Mischief laughed.

“…” Feng Hao smirked while glancing at Loki and Theo. He was truly shocked when the two discussed their plans with him. The method was absurd and unorthodox.

But if their allies couldn’t even predict something like that, there was no way the enemies could see through them.

Feng Hao couldn’t help but remember the discussion they had beforehand.

Back then, Feng Hao asked, “So, I’m going to fight the slime with you?”

“Well, yes and no.” The God of Mischief made a mysterious smile.

“Huh? Which one… I couldn’t split myself, you know.”

“I’m telling you this…” The God of Mischief pointed to the right. A trigram suddenly appeared all of a sudden. This trigram looked like Feng Hao and could easily form any kind of element. In addition, the trigram actually formed another body, which looked completely the same as Loki.”

“This is… Clone. And you can even use my trigram? No, should I say it’s an imitation?” The Heavenly Sovereign gasped. “So, what you mean by your answer is that… your clone will be the one to accompany you in battle, but you’re going to use my form…”

“Yeah.” The God of Mischief nodded with a smile.

“But why should we do that? I mean, I can see that you can imitate me perfectly. But do you mean I won’t be fighting the whole time?”

“Of course. You’re going to conserve your energy.”

“But why do you use such a plan? I mean, if we’re going to fight the slime, it’s better if we go all out from the start.” Feng Hao frowned, confused.

The God of Mischief raised one finger. “Have you forgotten about the spy?”

“Ah! So, you want me to find the spy among us? That’s why you’re going to fool everyone… I see. It’s a clever plan. Once the spy reveals himself, I will defeat the spy before helping you.”

“No, you’re misunderstanding something.” The God of Mischief shook his head helplessly. Feng Hao was eager to prove himself. That was why he tried to reply to him. However, he was wrong the whole time.

“We have already found the spy.”

“!!!” The Heavenly Sovereign widened his eyes in shock. On the one hand, it would be better if they killed the spy before the battle started. On the other hand, there must be some reasons why they didn’t do it. The Heavenly Sovereign looked down, falling into deep thought.

“Well, it will take too long if you try to suspect it… But the clue is this… Why do you think Theo made a half-hearted investigation regarding the spy? How did those monsters suddenly appear on other battlefields? And the answer was not Space Element.”

“Huh… Are you saying that the spy is someone who helps them? But if he wants to transport them to other battlefields without the Space Element, then… Wait, don’t tell me.” The Heavenly Sovereign looked at Theo in shock. “The reason why you couldn’t do anything to the spy right now…”

Theo smiled. “You should have heard something like this, ‘You are innocent until proven otherwise,’ There is one person who has the ability to transport monsters without Space Element since the only thing you have to do is to accelerate their time. And with the state of the previous war, it’s kind of obvious who the spy is and why we couldn’t do anything to him.

“That’s why we have to show the world that he is the spy before dealing with him… Yeah, we have to make that bastard reveal himself first. Yeah, that bastard, Aiden Turner, the Time God.”
