The Heavenly Sovereign couldn't help but smile when he remembered that plan. They said it without any heavy feelings, but that decision surely put a lot of pressure on their shoulders.
After all, a lot of soldiers ended up dying due to their decision. However, he couldn't think of any better idea.
They made Loki, the human race's hope, become a villain. By joining hands with the slime, they created a situation where the Time God could become a hero.
However, everyone knew that the Time God was the spy. And there would come a time where the Time God would make a move. At that time, he would make sure that Theo and the God of Mischief died.
Of course, there was a chance that the slime wouldn't attack Loki, considering he had switched sides. But the slime surely knew that Loki was a shrewd man. Having him on his side would be dangerous.
Hence, the slime would definitely make a move when the opportunity arrived. He had to turn Loki into slime first so that he had control over his life. It would be fine if Loki's personality remained intact after being reborn since he could easily make his life disappear with just a thought.
Sadly, the slime didn't have the ability to capture Loki by himself even with a surprise attack. That would be where the Time God took part.
In that instant, the Time God would show his true nature and kill Theo, who was adamant about staying on the human race's side while helping the slime stop Loki.
That was where both Loki and Theo managed to troll the world. They knew what kind of implication would occur once the Time God showed his true identity.
That was why Theo and the God of Mischief had the same thought back then.
"Still, wouldn't it be too dangerous if you take this kind of risk?" The Heavenly Sovereign frowned. "I mean, one wrong move will cost you your life."
"Nope." Theo shook his head. "I have always felt something different from the Time God whenever I see his status. As you might already know, my eyes allow me to see your status directly, including your skill.
"And despite being called the strongest in the world, the Time God feels… a bit too normal. That's why I know he has been hiding something. I analyze his power and even get the help of the world and I find out that he has been freezing his own system for a long time. It's already weird for someone to still have their system after the apocalypse, so… something like this is already within my expectation.
"When the time that has been frozen this whole time starts moving again, it will not stop until the very end. That's why Loki will be fighting the Time God." Theo looked at Loki as if asking him to continue.
"Right. There is a possibility that he is close to Singularity Rank, but although the possibility is relatively low, he might have surpassed the Mythical Rank. That's why I'll be his opponent. I want to make him think that everything he sees might just be an illusion.
"When the decisive moment comes, he will think otherwise, especially if both of me and my clone are dead.
"That's where Theo will come in. He will use his illusion to make it look like we both have died. With this, the Time God will show his true nature, reversing the situation around. And then boom, hahahaha, you're fooled. We're not dead yet." Loki laughed out loud as if he imagined the shock everyone would experience when they realized both of them were still there.
Theo sighed and explained it. "Basically, we're going to have Hel to stop them. Well, you can say that Hel will be holding back during the whole fight and only finish it when we're 'dead.' Then, we will pop back up with you. This time, it will be four of us fighting the slime and the Time God.
"This is the ideal situation. There might come a time when their power can overcome our trick, but yeah, Loki and I will make adjustments. All that's left is for us to act."
"Right? Maybe I should become a citizen and strive to be an actor?" The God of Mischief looked down as if he was thinking about that option seriously.
Theo sighed. "Well, that's our plan. I want you to hide the whole time. Of course, I have a separate task for you."
After listening to them, Feng Hao couldn't help but think, 'Haha, Trickster and Mischief are bad news. Even if you manage to fool them, they will make it so that you think you have fooled them, while what truly happens is the other way around. And if you can't fool them, then you are just going to dance in their palm. I feel kind of bad for our opponents to deal with these two.'
Feng Hao gradually opened his eyes, feeling confident. He had conserved his strength this whole time. So, he was planning to go all out to chip away at the enemies' strength.
Feng Hao blinked once before his eyes started to emit a golden light. "Since my Magic Power is still full, I am going to work extremely hard. The rest of you can rest for a while."
"Don't think highly of yourself, human." Hel snorted while releasing her black-colored Magic Power. She stood on the left, stating, "Lest you will be disappointed."
"Heh." Feng Hao smirked.
Loki rolled his eyes while summoning his clone. "Well, I'm still the one responsible for that annoying time guy."
Theo also summoned his clone. "Even though I'm not at the singularity rank yet, we still can win this fight."
All of them couldn't help but smile, knowing how true his words were. They could finally see the ray of victory in the battle that was supposed to end up in their defeat.
Theo, Loki, Hel, and Feng Hao. Four of humanity's strongest fighters stood side by side to fight against the world's strongest monster and the strongest traitor.
