God of Tricksters

"Can you find me this material?" Theo asked while handing the picture to Maya. As soon as he returned, he immediately headed to Maya after procuring the sample.

"This is?" Maya was confused because she wasn't an expert in this.

"If I want to solve the problem in Argelia, then I need this material."

"You know about the problem and the solution?"

"Yeah. I can't explain it to you, but just know that I need this stone."

Maya thought for a moment and sighed, "I can try to search for the stones, but I am not that confident, considering I don't know much about this stone from the picture.

"I have the sample, but I also need to take it back to fix the problem, so I don't know if I should hand it over or not."

"Ah, do you mean you're afraid of me using them for something else?"

"No. It's the scientist who will perform research on this stone." Theo shook his head. "I can't afford to lose this stone even if it's just a small piece."

"Still, I need to know the severity of this matter. If it's that dangerous, I can trust it to someone I highly trust to handle this matter."

Theo pondered for a moment and said, "Basically, Argelia suffered that kind of damage just because a part of this stone was chipped away… Around a basketball size, I think."

"Seriously?" Maya sucked a cold breath, looking at the picture as if she was seeing a mineral worth more than anything in the world. "Just a small piece of that stone can crush an entire country…"

"Yeah. I think you can understand why I don't want to tell you much about this stone."

"Indeed. The moment this stone falls into the wrong hands, the world will be chaotic." Maya nodded. Her expression became grim and her tone was serious. "I can search for this material. If you can entrust the sample to me, it can help me discern the real material and the fake one.

"I'll ask a specialist in this matter to handle it personally. Of course, I won't use it for other things like scientific research or whatever. So, only that person will know about the details of the materials."

Theo remembered what the Mountain King said. "To be honest, I think the people already know about it, considering this material is good to make an artifact. Then again…"

"I see. There are many materials used for an artifact, but something like this should be extremely scarce." Maya nodded. "I don't really mind helping you."

"You should know that this work won't be rewarded because I can't afford for everyone to know about this material. If they know about it, the world will be in chaos. This includes countries."

"Yes. I can understand that." Maya nodded with a calm expression. "Just take it as my thanks for handling the problem a few months ago. Without you, the Star Group would be reduced greatly, and my life would be in danger too."

"Alright. Thank you, Maya."

"No problem. I can spare some money right now, so I don't mind."

"If you don't have money, just call me. I can find a way to make money."

"You're not going to sell your body, right? How about selling it to me?"

"Who do you think I am?" Theo shook his head helplessly before waving his hand and leaving her office. "Anyway, you should come to my mansion later to get the material."

"Okay. See ya."

He wanted to personally search for the item, but Maya had a better connection in the underground market or any important markets. Hence, he decided to rely on her.

"Have you finished your discussion?" Ergene asked. Since Felix had been tasked to take care of the refugees, Ergene had been acting as his bodyguard this whole time.

"Yeah." Theo nodded and entered the car before Ergene started driving.

"By the way, I know that this is out of the blue, but do you happen to know about our last two members? I mean, do you have any idea about their personality or roles?" Ergene asked.

"Well, I need one more Mythical Rank Expert and one Supreme Rank Expert."

"You sound like you believe that Rea can fulfill your requirement as a Mythical Rank Expert…"

"Of course." Theo smiled. "Rea reminds me of myself after all."

"Reminds you of yourself?"

"Yeah. I once chased after my brother for different reasons. Then, when I got what I wanted, I suddenly felt empty. I just moved forward without a goal, so when I met my grandfather, I just wanted to get everything that I could to back up my goal that I might find in the future." Theo shrugged.

"It seems you have a goal now."

"Of course." Theo smiled, teasing her. "Want to know?"

"Well, that's your secret." Ergene shook her head.

Theo paused for a moment and said, "What do you think about the collapse of great civilizations like Maya Civilization, Ancient Egypt, or other stuff? If we're talking about the great swipe… maybe the dinosaurs too? How about the Mythologies? Why did they end up as myths instead of actual civilization? With their great power described by the myth, why is no trace of them left?"

Ergene wasn't prepared for this kind of question, so she just gave him a random answer. "Maybe they lived on another planet?"

"Even right now, we still haven't found a single alien species out there. And those people from the myths can still be connected to you through blessings. Then, what's the cause of their destruction?" Theo smirked.

"Hmm, I don't know."

"From what I know about the Norse Mythology, Odin was said to have the premonition of the end, which is called Ragnarok. And the God of Mischief actually tried to twist that Ragnarok by pushing the schedule up or changing things up. Where do you think he got that premonition?"

"In physics, we know about a higher dimension. It's said that beings in the higher dimension can watch us like we're watching a movie right now. The script and the plots have been prepared…" Theo smirked.

"Are you suspecting that there is someone that is writing about Maya Civilization like a series and once the series ends, the civilization collapses?" Ergene widened her eyes. "Wait a minute. Does that mean someone is writing about our civilization right now, and when the story ends, our civilization will be destroyed?"

"That's just my theory." Theo smirked as he got this conclusion after agreeing with the God of Mischief. That was why he started to come up with a quite good idea to test that concept. He said, "Do you want to know my goal? I can tell you. My goal is…"

Theo opened his and told her his goal.

Ergene was stunned and even stopped the car as her body started shaking when she heard Theo's goal.

However, Theo dropped another bomb by saying, "If my theory is correct, I'm sure that my goal won't be told to anyone. After all, it won't be interesting to know it easily. I have no way to prove my point, but if this is true, things will be exciting from now on. It seems that I can play with those beings from a higher dimension."

There was one person that was smiling when Theo uttered that goal and his idea. He was none other than the God of Mischief, Loki.
