God of Tricksters

Chapter 1739 Ambition

"Seriously?" Theo pinched the bridge of his nose, listening to the message Zhao Jia relayed. "Thank you for the warning."

As soon as Theo hung up the call, Maya couldn't help but ask, "What does she mean by the black cloud? There are two black clouds… Although I don't know the meaning, I know they are two different black clouds… Is the black cloud referring to the monsters we're facing right now while the last one is to the slime monster that you're scared of?

"This is kinda funny to me since slimes are usually low level monsters in the game while this one slime we're facing right now is like the last boss." Maya chuckled.

"There is a black cloud looming over us right now, but the black cloud is not a threat," Theo muttered with a serious expression before speculating, "I'm afraid there's no opportunity in this problem.

"Instead of the current problem, there might be something else that would come our way…"

Theo furrowed his eyebrows. "Something that can be an opportunity… No, wait. There might be one…"

"What is it?"

Theo couldn't help but smile because of how ridiculous the idea was. He raised his finger and said, "An eruption."

"An eruption? Do you mean a volcano? Is this a normal volcano or a supervolcano? But there aren't supposed to be any super volcanoes that will… Wait, is Yellowstone going to erupt?"

Theo shook his head. "No way that big one is going to come out. It's not an opportunity for us anymore. Instead, it's a catastrophe for both the humans and the monsters. So, I believe the eruption will come from a nearby volcano.

"It will cause a lot of commotions and send the monsters our way. And this is where the opportunity is… After all, I can use these monsters to level up even further. Though, I believe this is not the only opportunity we have…"

"What do you mean? I can understand that raising your level is an opportunity, but I can't see any benefits for other people."

Theo shook his head, denying her claim. "There is one more benefit. The organic materials from the eruption will make the land fertile. It means there will be more plants."

"But doesn't that put us in a bad position? If the land is fertile, the tree monsters who seem to be a hidden problem for us will take that opportunity to get stronger so that they can defeat us." Maya explained her concern since she couldn't see what Theo was planning.

"Yeah. Though, the fact that they're stronger means they're more confident in defeating us. We'll let them gain that confidence and expose themselves. That's where we're going to strike them, eliminating this problem."

"Ah!" Maya nodded in understanding. "That way, there won't be any joint problems anymore. That means we won't face any catastrophe from two big human mistakes."

"Exactly. So, I want you to monitor all the movements of the nearby volcanoes. Meanwhile, I'll try to see if the Heavenly Sovereign's words can be interpreted in another way."

Maya agreed without hesitation and returned to her room to inform her subordinates. While walking, she couldn't help but remember the message. 'The one that saves you might be the one to kill you.'

She could somehow correlate it with the trees. The trees had been saving their lives this whole time, considering the humans had been doing deforestation for the lands or the woods.

And with pollution becoming a reality, the trees might come to them with the help of the fertile land.

That was why Theo was convinced this was the problem.

Maya couldn't help but shake her head. "Is he serious? How could he even connect all this in an instant? I guess his talent is that strong."

"Though, I don't understand about the catastrophe that will shatter Heaven and Earth… Does he mean the slime since it can destroy the entire planet?

"If people can withstand it, they'll find a long summer without any black clouds. It seems that he is telling us if we can defeat the slimes, we won't face any more problems. Then again, if Theo could defeat the slime, it means he is strong enough to face any other problems in the world.

"As for me, I think it's fine if I can etch my name in a history book. Theo, the savior of the world, thanks everyone for their help, especially Maya Hamilton, who used most of her wealth to provide all kinds of support to him. She was one of the reasons why Theo could save the world…

"That's probably going to be an interesting story. Haha, the longer I walk with Theo, the bigger my ambition will become. From being the richest woman in the world to someone whose name shall be etched in the canal of history. Still…" Maya smirked. "I'm fired up. Alright, let's do it that way. Hamilton Family will surpass the Rothschild Family and the Vandawer Family in the future."

This was a gamble. She rarely gambled, but because if they lost, it would mean the extinction of human races, there was nothing that needed to be said. She would rather gamble all her money away for victory.

In Theo's group, each person had a big ambition that suited their character. However, if one asked who was the most ambitious person in the group, the answer wouldn't be Theo. Instead, it was Maya.

However, no one bothered to stop Maya because no matter how big her ambition was, she had to rely on Theo. And since Theo was the one holding her reign, there was no problem in the group.

While Maya was thinking about her new ambition, Theo remained silent in his room as if he was considering every clue, every piece of information, and every possibility to see the future.

He might not be able to see the future like the Queen of Destiny or the Heavenly Sovereign, but he could predict them or turn the world so that it matched his prediction.

After one hour, a smile couldn't help but appear on Theo's face.
