God of Tricksters

Chapter 1959 Test Subject

"Are you ready?" Theo asked with a serious expression.

"Yeah." The Space Saint nodded, glancing at a wolf, who appeared to be a King Class Monster. This monster would be the first person to step into the other world.

…

A few days ago.

The Space Saint asked, "So, who will be crossing over first?"

This question was not relevant to Theo, so he stated, making things clear first. "Just to remind you that this tunnel is a one-way path. So, I'm not going."

The monsters already understood Theo's concern. Though, they didn't rebuke or interject with him to show that they respected his decision.

"Since we don't know the condition of the other side, we have to make sure that we know your condition. If we manage to send you to the other side for a period of time, then we can call this project successful. After that, we'll start transporting everyone one by one. So, the first one should arrange a place for us and organize everyone."

They looked at each other, wondering who had the ability to do it.

Suddenly, one of the King Class Monsters raised his paw. He was a black-colored wolf. His eyes were sharp, making him look serious.

He stated, "I should go then. I am the King of Link. My ability allows me to connect with a certain person to gain a bit of their power.

"So, I'm going to form a strong link with someone. As long as I am still alive, the power will remain active. If I die, the link will immediately disappear. I have tested previously… It seems that it's possible to cross the tunnel without having the link interrupted.

"I tried planting a link to a certain human in the past and I still felt the link even after the human returned to this world. So, I think it's better for me to go there.

"However, I'm not good enough to arrange everything. So, you should allow me to bring someone else that can arrange it or teach me how to arrange everyone's position in the other world."

"…" Everyone looked at each other. His statement was solid. And among them, there was no one who had an ability that connected them to the other. Since the latter had tested it personally, there should be no problem with sending him to test the tunnel.

The wolf seemed to have prepared to die in case something went wrong. But Theo and the Space Saint were confident that the tunnel had been completed.

The structure might not be as strong as the previous one, but it should be strong enough to withstand the pressure of sending them. There were even seven Saints who poured their power into this tunnel.

After some consideration, Theo suggested, "I think it's better to put a mark on him and vice versa. So, this way, we have two ways of knowing what's happening to him."

They nodded to the suggestion. Ultimately, the Space Saint said, "Alright then. You shall be the first one to go there. But we don't know if the tunnel is strong enough to bring more than one, so we're going to inspect it when you cross it. Hence, there might be some delay, but we'll send the second person who can arrange everything."

"In that case, please send me!" A bird raised its wings to increase its presence. "I've been following my Saint for a long time and governing his territory. So, I'm confident in my ability to arrange the living space. And since I can fly, I can scout the area around."

The monsters looked at each other. It didn't take too long for them to agree since they had known this bird for a while. The bird was one of the monsters that managed the project, so they knew they didn't have to worry if they sent this bird.

"Alright then. Here is the plan. We'll send the King of Link first before sending the Air King. After that, there will be some delays, one day at most, to arrange everyone. And I'll be going last since I have to send back our friend, Theodore Griffith. Does anyone have an objection?"

The Space Saint declared. No one raised their voice, acknowledging the plan.

Although they wanted to send Theo back first to show their sincerity, Theo's strength was needed to activate the structure. So, Theo had to wait, no matter how impatient he was, to go home.

Theo acknowledged the plan as well. Since he could finally go home, he planned to push himself a bit further so that he could return quicker.

…

Recalling the meeting they had to choose the experiment subject, Theo felt a bit skeptical about this.

On the one hand, he was confident that the tunnel would work. On the other hand, he couldn't assure them that it would work perfectly. So, if this didn't work, he might have to be stuck here for a bit longer.

Theo took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready."

The Space Saint nodded and moved toward the structure. He felt the structure's energy first before clasping his hands, linking his energy to the structure.

Theo then poured his energy into the stone as the latter started to emit white light.

Theo looked at the King of Link. "Get ready! We are about to open the portal. It'll require a lot of power, so you should be fast."

The King of Link nodded and approached them carefully. He was standing in front of the Space Saint, waiting for his ability to fully activate.

The Space Saint looked at the King of Link and started activating his ability. Pink aura began to come out of his hands.

At the same time, a pink-colored vortex, the size of the structure, appeared in front of him. There was only a pink glow coming from the edge of the vortex, while there was only darkness inside the vortex.

"Go!" The Space Saint shouted.

The King of Link hesitated for a moment due to the darkness inside the vortex, but he had to go since he had the ability to fulfill the role.

He jumped inside the vortex and gradually vanished as if he was being swallowed inside.
