God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 480 - Two Choices

After that, they returned to Art Beats City and teleported to the other side.

Theo simply went back home with a smile on his face. He didn't care whether Nikita or someone was tailing him anymore. After all, he would give the address to Maya tonight.

Sitting on the couch, Theo started thinking about his choices.

"Hmm. What should I do?" Theo rested his head on the couch and looked at the ceiling… "I have two offers right now. The first offer comes from Agata and my own family. If I choose Italy, I will be around the War God Family.

"Ugh, as much as I want to trust them, I don't know if I can do it. It just feels weird since they may be the same as the Griffith Family. Well, they may not be the same, but there should be some similarities to a certain degree.

"At the same time, I can't really expect full support from them, considering my blessing doesn't come from a War like figure.

"It's good to know that you're in the family, but I don't want to think of it as the only reason to go there. As for the positive sides… I can train my Awareness to the limit. Maybe I can work my way up, so I can have the Pope to teach me? Nah, who am I? I am not that important and it's not like the Pope has nothing to do.

"Still, Awareness is important because my Death Avatar will have something similar. I mean, the sealed form will be with me for long, considering it's the only effect for a B Rank Death Avatar. However, I don't know what kind of power is sealed in the Death Avatar skill. So, if I go with Maya, I can get all the resources that can help me improve all Five Aspects.

"This is very good considering the God of Mischief has created a foundation for all the five Aspects.

"There is also the fact they're natural-born strategists. This is a kind of double edge for me. First of all, they should be able to help me in solving many problems with their brains alone. However, if they're plotting against me, I should expect a deadly plan as well. I don't even know whether I can survive there by relying on the fact that we're related by blood.

"After all, my mother eloped with my father, so it's not an official marriage blessed by both families.

"On the other hand, if I go with Maya, I can receive all forms of training, especially my Five Aspects. After that, I won't need to worry about my equipment, lodging, and any other things. I can focus on my training.

"However, what kind of life should I expect from her? When the offer seems too good to be true, I don't know whether I can trust it or not. I also need to challenge many people to improve these eyes. I wonder which country I should choose…" Theo closed his eyes, considering the pros and cons.

…

Meanwhile, Maya and Nikita had returned to their hotel.

Maya quickly changed her clothes and leaped onto the couch, laying down with a tired expression. "That was an amazing fight. To think I would have lost against him… Well, I didn't bring my entire suit, railgun, and a few other toys or I would have won…"

"Miss, you would still lose." Nikita shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Maya furrowed her eyebrows, not liking that statement. "I mean, if this is a life and death battle, I would have ended his life with my guns."

"That might be true, but he also needed to restrain his power during the fight." Nikita shook his head. "From what I can see, you had twenty chances to kill him."

"I wenty chances? Sounds good to me."

"Yeah, but he had at least sixty chances," added Nikita with a poker face.

"Sixty?" Maya widened her eyes and rose from the couch, looking at her with a serious expression. "Do you mind explaining it to me?"

"Certainly." Nikita nodded. "First of all, his clone can be a suicide bomber."

"…" Maya chuckled. "You truly didn't hold back with your assessment, eh?"

Nikita shrugged and continued, "I told you the truth. If his clone didn't need to worry about his life, it would be easy to kill you, Miss. If he comes with you, you can simply supply him with lots of weapons and his clone will be peerless."

Maya thought for a moment. "I can see that."

"There is also the fact he can summon his clone continuously and remotely control it. There seems to be no range restriction as well. In other words, he can be seen in two countries at the same time. Also, you can't deny the fact that his flesh and blood looked very real. Back when I followed you, I certainly thought it was real since it stuck to my finger. Only when he retracted his clone, the blood disappeared from my hands."

"…" Maya's expression darkened. "I see. That's dangerous."

"Yeah. What if his power fell to the wrong side? For example, terrorist, assassin or mercenary group?"

"That will be alarming. Instead of fighting who can have him, we need to make sure he doesn't go to that side." Maya agreed. Her heart filled with worry.

"Well, there is another path for him…" Nikita stopped as she didn't want to explain the path further.

Even then, Maya already knew it. "Death."

Rather than leaving him alive, killing him would certainly erase those worries. However, Maya shook her head. "Nah, he may be a double-edged sword, but as long as he can stay this way, it's good enough for us. I mean, the benefits we can receive when he grows up are beyond our imagination."

"That is if we can get it. I don't know whether he is loyal or not." Nikita shook her head.

"He had an absurd childhood… Even then, he doesn't seem to be broken. I mean, if you have a bad childhood, your view of the world will certainly get distorted. His actions don't seem to be irrational for me, so I know we can negotiate with him."
