God of Tricksterschapter 1988: last meeting (5)

"Space Saint?" They widened their eyes, never expecting to find another Saint.

Theo explained, "I've helped him in creating a tunnel to return to the other world. And after helping him, he confirmed there was no trace of Space Ability.

"And I'm sure that the Sword Saint and the Heavenly Sovereign could confirm if there is a Transcendent Level Expert or King Class Monster with the same power as we do, right?"

The two Saints nodded their heads. It meant the Space Saint had confirmed that not only did the enemy not use any Space Ability, but he also confirmed that there was no King Class Monster or Transcendent Level Expert whose Order was related to Space.

This meant there was no threat where that person used the Space Element to teleport the slime to a convenient location.

"Have I answered your question?" Theo asked.

Leonardo nodded with a serious expression. "Still, this is a little bit too much for us to take right now. Never in our wildest dream would we think the truth is something like this."

"Well, that's all I can tell you. I hope that there's no question regarding the world and the God of Mischief since I can't answer more than that for better or worse." Theo sighed in disappointment.

They were surely curious about the whole picture. But they couldn't help but feel ashamed that a young man like him was able to discover something they had never thought about. It wasn't that he was a genius in researching history. It was his brilliance that allowed him to find out the truth.

"If that's the case, I'm going to continue with my question regarding the World Class Monsters. You mentioned there would be multiple World Class Monsters on the slime's side, right? So, who is going to deal with them? Is this the reason why you've hidden the Mafia Queen this whole time?"

"!!!" They almost forgot that the Mafia Queen hadn't joined the battle this whole time under Theo's request. It was truly a clever way to hide a trump card. But if the spy was among the high ranking people in the base, the spy would surely know about the Mafia Queen's existence.

Although it was good to know that the Mafia Queen could stop one of the World Class Monsters, it wouldn't be as surprising either.

However, Theo actually shook his head as if denying such a great plan. "Sorry, but I'm not planning to make the Mafia Queen handle a World Class Monster. Instead, she will be protecting the base."

"Huh? The base?" The Sword Saint frowned while Leonardo explained, "I see. The Mafia Queen's strength can't be compared to the Time God. So, instead of having the Time God protect the base, it'll be better if the Mafia Queen does it.

"The Mafia Queen is the world's strongest enchanter. She is good at working with multiple people, but it doesn't mean anything at the scale we're facing right now.

"So, it's better to enhance the people around him so that they can become three times stronger, enabling us to protect the base with fewer people."

Theo smirked as if confirming his explanation. He added, "You forget something. The enemies are expecting her to come out as my trump card as well."

"By doing that, we can trick them and gain some advantages." Leonardo nodded in understanding. "As expected, you love this kind of battle…"

Theo smiled. "I'm going to handle the talk with the Time God."

"Sure. Though, you haven't answered the question yet. Who will be handling at least three World Class Monsters… Even if the Time God comes out, he will have to fight the slime…"

Theo raised three fingers. "I know. I have been thinking about it. The Slime might be able to fight against multiple Saints, but will he be able to fight someone above that level?"

"What do you mean?"

"Wait a minute." The Heavenly Sovereign's eyes flashed. "Don't tell me, he is…"

Theo smirked. "Yes. That's why I'm planning to have the Goddess of Death handle one of the World Class Monsters first. Although it looks like there will only be the two of you to handle the slime, it should be enough, right?"

"Well, if that's truly the case, I'm going to support him. But I'll have to talk to him first, you know…" The Heavenly Sovereign smirked.

"Of course. Anyway, the other two World Class Monsters shall be handled by the Lightning Saint and the Dark Saint. You should have seen the Dark Saint already."

"Is he the King Class Monster that helped the base before?" Leonardo asked with a frown.

"Yeah. He has reached the next level. Although he is still new to this strength, he should be able to hold back a World Class Monster until one of us is free.

"As for the Lightning Saint, it's basically Ava's teacher. He is the World Class Monster that rules the territory on the other side of Italy before the apocalypse. He has agreed to fight against the slime, and my relationship with him is also good, so I'm sure that he will come."

"I see. Those are the three…" The Heavenly Sovereign looked down, contemplating. He had been trying to figure out the situation through his special eyes. But this one was already beyond his prediction.

He thought for a moment and asked, "I don't think there will be a lot of problems regarding the red line. There might be some adjustments needed when the actual fight happened, but as long as we maintained our communication, such a change could easily be done.

"All that is left is the yellow line. This is an important line that has to keep standing no matter what."

"Yeah. For the time being, we have a lot of people here who can fight against King Class Monsters. As for their positioning, please take a look at the map." Theo showed their positions with the help of the map instead of explaining everything.
