Chapter 1419 World Chess
"An alliance? What kind of alliance?" The Sword Saint got the curiosity better than him.
Unfortunately for him, the Heavenly Sovereign only stuck his tongue out and said, "No way! Not telling. Not gonna happen!"
The Sword Saint's eyebrows twitched as he said while taking a deep breath. "You should act appropriately.".
Even Theo was a bit surprised because the Heavenly Sovereign was using all those flowery phrases to present the alliance. The image in his mind was the serious Heavenly Sovereign, while the one with him right now was his carefree self.
"So, what are you planning to do now?" The Heavenly Sovereign coughed once and stopped acting carefree.
"Nothing. I am simply visiting this country so that I can enjoy some free time." Theo shrugged.
"Hmm? Let me guess, you are here to confuse them about your intention. Knowing you, they'll think that you're here to accomplish something. But in reality, you don't do anything. Is that it?" The Sword Saint asked.
Theo's answer came in the form of a smirk as if he was enjoying the situation he had created.
"I give up. You're truly too daring. You should know that the situation is not that good right now." The Sword Saint sighed. "I know that you have a plan, but seeing you this carefree somehow makes me want to smack you in the face. Like this guy."
"En." The Heavenly Sovereign nodded his head a few times as if giving his approval of Theo's conduct.
"So, do you have anything you want to do here? Since this guy is leaving tomorrow, it's better to bring you two together so that you don't cause any mess." The Sword Saint sighed, knowing it was his responsibility to take care of them.
"How about visiting your friend? You have a friend here, right? Whose clan is it?" The Heavenly Sovereign squinted his eyes, trying to remember the information.
"Shibuya Clan. Shibuya Mami once recruited his former teammate, Laust Lange. Do you want to go there?" The Sword Saint remembered the information since he took care of this country. Of course, he had investigated Theo's background and connection.
"Well…" Theo scratched the back of his head. On the one hand, he didn't visit him last time because he was Joker. On the other hand, he didn't know whether it was a good idea to visit him or not.
"Let's go. Let's not waste any more time!" The Heavenly Sovereign smirked as if thinking it was exciting to surprise them like this.
"Can you be more serious?" The Sword Saint gritted his teeth, starting to get annoyed.
"Come on. Don't be too strict. Since I'm going back tomorrow, it's clear that the Griffith Family will definitely make their move today. If the country decides to oppose this little guy, I will have to make a move before leaving this country. So, today is the best day to launch a surprise attack on others!" The Heavenly Sovereign smirked.
"That's a good idea. If I'm not wrong, the Shibuya Clan also has one, right?" Theo glanced at the Sword Saint.
"Shibuya Tatsuo." The Sword Saint nodded.
"That's right. Let's meet him. I bet he's gonna have a shocked face when he sees Theo accompanied by two Saints! Hahaha, I can't wait for it."
"You…" The Sword Saint truly wanted to hit him. However, this could also show something big to the public.
They didn't know Theo had met the Time God before, but they were indeed acquaintances. The Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint were his allies. This showed that Theo had the backing of two top experts and knew the strongest guy in the world. If the Griffith Family wanted to do something to him, they would do everything in order to make the Heavenly Sovereign remain neutral.
So, they had to strike first, and Theo agreed with the idea.
"This is going to be troublesome." The Sword Saint could only resign to his fate, looking at these two guys who seemed to be able to understand each other because they had the same personality.
"Attaboy." The Heavenly Sovereign winked his eye.
"We're at the same age." The Sword Saint clenched his fists. "If you continue like this, I'm seriously going to stop anything you want to do right now."
"Fine, fine. No need to be angry." The Heavenly Sovereign shrugged. Just like Zhao Jia, it seemed the Heavenly Sovereign loved to tease people. Even the Sword Saint became frustrated.
In the end, the Sword Saint took them to visit the Shibuya Clan so that they could meet Laust, who was training in the clan.
Of course, they had to use the car since they didn't want to be seen.
In the car, the Heavenly Sovereign asked Theo, "Do you play Go?"
"Go? Ah, you mean chess?"
"Yep. Chinese Go!"
Theo shook his head.
"How about Shogi?"
"Nope. If it's just normal chess, I often play it with my grandfather." Theo shook his head, explaining.
"Well, I guess it's fine to play chess. Let's do one quick round before we arrive!" The Heavenly Sovereign smirked. "I'm sure you have something to say to me, so tell me while we play."
Theo thought for a moment and nodded. "I don't mind. But do we have chess here?"
"Won't your illusion suffice?"
"As expected." Theo sighed and summoned a chessboard. "White or black?"
"You can go first."
Theo then summoned the black pieces for the Heavenly Sovereign and the white pieces for himself.
He moved the pawn forward with a calm expression as if he didn't need time to think about what kind of strategy he wanted to play against the Heavenly Sovereign.
The Heavenly Sovereign also raised his pawn in an instant. But when he placed the pawn on the board, Theo somehow heard a clipping sound of a water droplet that had just fallen down to the pool of water.
"Mhm?" Theo widened his eyes in surprise because the next thing he realized, the scenery had changed. They weren't in the car anymore. Instead, they were standing on top of a void with the entire galaxies to be their background. Theo could see numerous stars that illuminated them as if giving the Heavenly Sovereign the wisdom to take him down. At the same time, Theo could feel a few words that the Heavenly Sovereign wanted to convey to him.
"This is…" Theo gritted his teeth, feeling uncomfortable.
The Heavenly Sovereign smirked and extended his hand as if telling him to make his second move. "This is World Chess. My domain."
