God of Tricksters

Meanwhile, Clone Theo and the Mind Elder were facing each other, undisturbed by anyone else.

"I have always wanted to kill you," said Clone Theo while glaring at the Mind Elder.

"If only I had put you under my power, we wouldn't have gone through this shit." The Mind Elder narrowed his eyes. "Either way, I'll be responsible for killing you. Even if you have become transcendent, you are still a newbie in my eyes!"

"Yes, so?" Clone Theo smirked while snapping his fingers.

Suddenly, the Mind Elder felt his balance tip over as his body fell to the side.

'Eh? My arm and my leg...' The Mind Elder realized that the limbs that he had reconstructed with his illusion after getting destroyed by Leonardo suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, Theo took this opportunity to leap toward him, thrusting his spear.

The Mind Elder frowned and created a glove from metal that could stop this spear.

*Clang!*

The Mind Elder used the spear to hold his body down while trying to form another limb to use.

Theo wanted to remove it again, but the moment Theo snapped his finger, the illusion didn't disappear.

"Huh?" Theo was confused for a second, allowing the Mind Elder to counterattack.

Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared in the air. The suction force was so strong that Theo felt like getting sucked into this whirlpool if not for him immediately creating a spike that planted his feet to the ground.

Both of them were using their illusion to create everything in order to counter each other's abilities.

Seeing that his attack failed, the Mind Elder stomped on the ground and created numerous swords from the ground.

However, Theo managed to snap his finger again as he removed all the swords before they reached him. After that, he spun his body and kicked the Mind Elder, blowing him away.

The Mind Elder managed to block that kick with both arms and slid on the ground for a bit just to stop the momentum.

Now that there was a distance between them, the Mind Elder placed his hand on the ground.

Suddenly, the ground split into two, making them fall into the darkness.

Theo, who was aware of the possibility of this illusion, immediately lifted his left hand. Suddenly, they landed on a platform made of golden light, stopping their fall.

"!!!" The illusion couldn't be removed by his own illusion, so he was quite shocked to find something at this level. After all, as someone who possessed the Illusion Order, he had become an Illusion King.

All illusions should be under his control, and Theo's illusion wasn't an exception. And he was someone who had crawled over his last defeat against Leonardo.

During this period, he had finally broken through to the fourth stage of the illusion, the Illusion Alter.

The moment he used this ability, he realized that Theo's illusion didn't look like an illusion. Instead, it was as if there was indeed a platform like this in reality.

In other words, Theo had made an illusion a reality.

"So, you possess this power. Reality Order. The only illusion that I can't control because it's already becoming a part of reality." The Mind Elder gritted his teeth. However, he hadn't lost yet. "In that case, I'll just turn that reality back into an illusion!"

The platform suddenly tilted to the side as the Mind Elder finally regained control after turning the platform back into an illusion platform under his control. Tilting the plate would force Theo to fall into the deeper darkness.

However, Theo was someone at the same level. His illusion immediately created a stick that stretched from one edge to another, getting locked to the circular platform right in the middle.

After that, he used his Reality Order to turn them into a reality while summoning another item to attach his body to the platform.

With the platform tilting to the side, the stick made the platform not fall down and instead started spinning.

"Kh." Theo and the Mind Elder gritted their teeth as they somehow managed to attach themselves to the platform.

Theo had experienced something like this when fighting against the God of Mischief, but he still had a hard time adjusting the gravity when it kept changing. On the other hand, the Mind Elder had his own trick to stop the spin. He summoned four pillars perpendicular to the platform. Each pillar had its own poles that somehow stopped the platform in the middle, allowing them to stand on the platform without any more spin.

Theo and the Mind Elder had the same thought as they charged toward each other, hoping that the enemy was slightly sick due to the spin.

But both of them seemed to have enough experience, allowing them to release their blow, unaffected by the earlier spins.

Theo wanted to use his Alter Ego, but using the Alter Ego drained too much of his energy, so he chose to use other things not only to save some energy for later but also because he wanted to use it to deliver a killing blow that couldn't be dodged or blocked by the Mind Elder.

Theo used his World Re-Creation to suddenly expand the platform, causing them to run at the same spot like they were on top of a treadmill.

"!!!" The Mind Elder was shocked because he couldn't do something like this with his illusion. So, he thought it was Theo bending reality. Although he was jealous, he couldn't think of it for now. He simply jumped into the air and tried to approach Theo from the air.

But to his surprise, the platform wasn't the only thing expanding. It was the whole realm that was expanding. This was the only thing he could do with the current World Re-Creation, but it should be enough to confuse even the Mind Elder.

Since the Mind Elder was in the air and stayed in his position due to the expanding realm, Theo summoned his Irregular Guardian in its spear form and threw it into the air.

Theo's attack was supposed to stay in the same place due to the expanding realm, but in that instant, Theo stopped the expansion, causing both of them to move toward the same spot.

"Shit!" The Mind Elder gritted his teeth, seeing the incoming spear.
