The Heavenly Sovereign was stunned that the God of Mischief would even tell him something like this. Although it looked like he was just teaching him how to handle a situation that he might not expect, it seemed there was a hidden meaning behind that sentence.
Someone as powerful and experienced as the Heavenly Sovereign didn't need to hear this kind of warning. After all, if he truly fought against the God of Mischief from the start instead of greeting him first, he would put up a good fight. He wouldn't easily fall into his illusion.
That was why this warning served as a reminder of something else.
The Heavenly Sovereign couldn't help but fall into deep thought, thinking there might be another possibility that he didn't consider.
The God of Mischief decided to let him think about it first instead of telling him everything. The Heavenly Sovereign had been good at deducting things, so it would just hurt his pride if he answered everything before the Heavenly Sovereign could predict.
So, the God of Mischief turned around to talk to Theo.
"It seems that you have made some preparations…" The God of Mischief looked at Theo with a serious expression.
"Yeah. Though, I don't think I have made enough." Theo sighed.
"The Space Saint?"
"He's gone to the other side, so there's no need to worry about him."
"Good. How about the structure?"
"I have brought it over. How about you?"
"I have two pillars that haven't been destroyed yet."
"This should be enough, right?" Theo asked.
"Yeah." The God of Mischief nodded in agreement. "It seems that the situation has become more interesting. The only one who can kill you is yourself, I guess."
"That's a good line, but when you hear it in this situation, you don't really feel good about it." Theo shrugged. The God of Mischief was indirectly implying the existence of his original self.
Theo looked so talented and strong that there weren't many people who could kill him. Even the Heavenly Sovereign and the Time God, who looked stronger than him, couldn't kill him, especially when Theo operated with his clone.
So, the only people that might be able to kill Theo were the God of Mischief, the slime, and his original self.
Theo let out a long sigh. "Instead of worrying about me, you should focus on the opponent this time."
"I know." The God of Mischief nodded with a serious expression. "From what I can see, that slime is extremely strong and his power can even dissolve my illusion. So, he has the chance to defeat me. Though, I'm still stronger in terms of raw power. If only that slime was made in my era, the one who destroyed the world wouldn't be that fire big guy, but that slime."
Theo thought for a moment. "Anyway, why are you bringing these two? I can understand why you brought Lyrventh, but Lydia…"
"I have decided to make both of them our successors. Lyrventh shall become the Saint and Lydia shall become the Saintess." The God of Mischief smiled.
Though, he wasn't the only person that commented on Theo's concern. Lyrventh, who easily heard their conversation, couldn't help but interject, "I apologize, Big Brother Theo. I don't mind if you look down on me, but my sister… I have never seen anyone stronger than her."
Of course, Lyrventh was talking about her positivity. Lydia, indeed, had a heart of steel. No matter how hard the challenge she faced, she would confront it directly.
So, Theo understood why Lyrventh acted this way. But he also said, "I know that already. It's just the battle is different than anything you have faced so far. I don't want to involve both of you to be honest."
"Then, what? Don't underestimate us. We would rather die trying than face our death helplessly!" Lyrventh gritted his teeth while Lydia, who was stunned by the interruption, tried to stop Lyrventh.
The God of Mischief added, "I know your concern. But since we have chosen them as the successors, we are going to have them see through this war. It will be beneficial for them."
"If you said so." Theo sighed. Even Lyrventh couldn't get angry completely since Theo was simply concerned about their safety. Even he couldn't guarantee his own survival, so how could he guarantee others?
"It seems that the situation has become more complicated than we originally thought…" The God of Mischief glanced at Lyrventh. "In that case, it seems that we have to rely on you."
"Huh?" Lyrventh pointed at himself. "Me?"
"Yeah." The God of Mischief pointed at the north. "In that direction, there are many experts hiding as if they're planning an ambush. From what I know, they are the ambush this guy has prepared. So, there's no need to look out for incoming monsters that would go for our back from the right.
"Hence, we should focus on the left. Although I believe that those people can sweep the hidden enemies, it still takes time. There might even be some hidden reinforcement, so it's better to station you in the west of the base, so you can make sure there's no reinforcement. Do you think you can do it?"
"I am not a kid… Well, I am a kid, but it doesn't mean I am a coward! Since my ability is necessary, you don't have to worry about me and my age. Just use me as you please. At the end of the day, I still have my hearing that can allow me to move to a place where the monsters couldn't reach me." Lyrventh said without hesitation, showing his determination.
Theo was still skeptical about it. But he knew it wasn't the time to think about it.
"Even in my era, humans used everyone available to defend the city wall. Even if the women, elderly, and children couldn't do anything. The elderly could still help with food, the women could still bring water to drink or help the wounded and the children could still carry up arrows or pebbles. That's why I don't think it's time to be picky. We have to use everyone we know even though in this modern era such a thing is not accepted." The God of Mischief smiled, explaining the urgency.
