God of Tricksters

In his training, Theo learned three major powers. The first was related to his Reality Eyes.

After seeing other people's status, Theo had been experimenting with his Reality Eyes to see what they looked like. To his surprise, not only the skills, but he could also see their description, allowing him to grasp their power.

And when he took a closer look at the skill's description, he realized that Theo's power was beyond his imagination.

The Order itself could affect him, his surroundings, and the people around him, including his enemies. That was why when he looked at them, he could see the upgrade requirement of their skill.

In other words, Theo found out that every skill could be upgraded. The system itself had existed from the beginning. The only reason why no one ever did it was that they never realized such a system existed. If they knew that they could sacrifice some skills to upgrade their power, they would have done so.

Unfortunately for him, it seemed that he had been mistaken about it. After learning from the Order itself, he realized that this power was given to him through the Reality Order residing in his Reality Eyes.

In other words, if one wanted to rank up their skill, they needed the help of the Reality Order's owner.

At the same time, ranking up people's skills would take a lot of resources. Although he could do business with it, the power balance would tip over, causing another bloodbath and, in the worst case, the disruption of the Order.

Even if Theo could do it easily and become the wealthiest person in the world through this road, he chose not to upgrade people's rank for those reasons.

Still, he would surely upgrade someone's skill from time to time, but that was when he felt indebted to them, not because they simply bought his service.

Then, the second power he managed to master was the special characteristic of the Mythical Rank.

He kept using his power to learn the flow of Magic Power, understanding the mechanism of this special characteristic.

Due to his body becoming one with nature, the Magic Power in the air gathered around him, supplying half of the Magic Power needed to use his skill. So, if he supplied all the Magic Power, the power would be doubled.

That was why he had a hard time producing an attack at Mythical Rank's level.

People thought Theo could produce such an attack, but his power was only equal to the attack with only half of the power, not the full power of a Mythical Rank Expert. It showed that Mythical Rank Expert was a realm that no ordinary person could enter.

The same applied to Rea, who had worked hard to master this power. She even trained together with Theo so that she could learn faster.

Last but not least, the third power was the Future Eyes, the last stage of Awareness.

Due to the ability of the complete Reality Eyes, Theo could see the flow of Magic Power before the skill was used.

When Rea tried to channel her Magic Power to summon a mythical beast, Theo could already see what kind of beast she would summon.

And before the mythical beast attacked him, he could see the attack pattern. Although it was only for a split second, it seemed that his eyes allowed him to see 0.5 seconds into the future.

Although it wasn't much, Theo's illusion ability allowed him to create such a thing with his illusion. As long as he continued practicing this ability, using the 'World Re-Creation' at Loki's level wouldn't be just a dream.

He didn't know whether this vision came from the Future Vision or the Reality Eyes, though. Nonetheless, it gave him this ability.

Theo used those two months to prepare for everything while watching the movement from all parties in the world, making sure that no one would interrupt his plan.

And a week before their planned trip, Felix finally returned to the mansion.

Theo personally welcomed him since it had been six months. Even Millie hugged her dad as soon as she saw him.

Felix looked like a beggar with dirt covering his clothes and a foul odor coming out of his body. But Felix's appearance became even fiercer that Theo could feel a different kind of power in his body.

Isaac dropped his jaw to the ground because he saw a similar Magic Power leaking from Felix's body. It was the same white-colored Magic Power that he saw from the stone in Atlantis.

"This is... This is..." Isaac wanted to say many things, but all the words stuck in his throat. He simply couldn't believe it. But because Felix only attained his Order for less than six months, his Magic Power hadn't completely turned white yet. Even so, this alone was already a huge matter.

Felix and Theo looked at each other for a while.

Theo was the first to open his mouth as he said with a wide grin on his face, proud of Felix. "Congratulations, Felix."

Felix politely bowed his head to him as he said solemnly. "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you."

...

While all of them were preparing for the confrontation between Theo and the Griffith Family, they were not aware that there was a person who escaped everyone's attention.

It was none other than Theo's clone.

Because Italy had become everyone's attention, it would be hard to sneak into Italy without any preparation. But Theo's intention wasn't Italy itself.

His original destination was the mountain where he once met the Lightning Saint, so he could bypass everything by traveling through the other side.

"I'm finally here again." Theo smiled as he looked at the mountain that was showered by lightning.

Suddenly, he found a King Class Monster approaching him and even politely bowed to him. "It's been a while."

"Yes, it's truly been a while." Theo smiled as he said, "I'm preparing to meet the Lightning Saint."

"There will be ten trials."

"I know." Theo smiled. "My only wish... I think you already know it."

He smiled and politely stepped back as if giving Theo the place and time to challenge the trials.

Theo stomped the ground and declared loudly, "I, Theodore Griffith, challenge the lightning trials to meet the Lightning Queen!"
