God of Tricksters

"You…" The Original Theo narrowed his eyes, realizing that his opponent was actually improving at a crazy rate even in a battle. It seemed that showing his power actually made him learn more than he was supposed to.

"Learning Talent…" The Original Theo gritted his teeth. "What he has is the Learning Talent from the original body and the clone's soul, while the learning talent I have only comes from my soul."

The Original Theo cursed the fact that the Original Body couldn't be revived by the Death Reaper, who sacrificed her soul to revive her so that he could kill Theo as her revenge.

"No. I have devoured everything. I'll also devour you." The Original Theo shouted in anger while releasing a black substance from all over his body. "Death Vision."

As soon as he activated this power, his eyes gradually turned black as a dark cloud started to appear in the air. They all moved around as if there was a special wind since it wasn't just a simple vertical or horizontal move.

But for the Original Theo, these clouds were the guidance on how death approached.

He had been fighting for so long in the underworld, fighting the dead. So, he was familiar with how they moved. With this ability, he could clearly predict how Theo should die.

As if sensing his own death, Theo also released his Reality Eyes.

If the Original Theo could see how Death approached Theo, the latter could see how Theo would move in order to kill him.

Both of them didn't move, but in their own world, they had been trying to approach things differently. Even the Original Theo could see the clouds moving so fast as if there was a tornado around. It was clear that Theo understood how he planned to approach him.

'What are those eyes?' The Original Theo asked inwardly while looking at the special pattern in Theo's eyes. It felt like those eyes pierced through the deepest secret he had.

Annoyed, the Original Theo leaped toward him and covered himself in the black substance. If Theo attacked him this way, everything would be swallowed by his power.

But he forgot the fact that Theo hadn't stopped using his Ascension Step. They had been in a stalemate for so long, so Theo had finished his preparation.

Without hesitation, Theo took the last step.

Ascension Step, Tenth Step.

"!!!" The Original Theo felt the intense pressure coming from the sky. He gritted his teeth and expanded his black substance to devour everything.

However, Theo also used his Attribute Removal to make the devouring power disappear.

The clash between two Orders made the atmosphere revolve crazily. The shock wave that they produced was amplified with the Ascension Step that couldn't be devoured completely.

"Haaaaa!" The Original Theo roared as he desperately absorbed as much as he could while maintaining the Devouring power due to the Attribute Removal.

*Crack!*

*Bam!*

A huge crack followed by the destruction of the ground reflected the might of the Ascension Step. The crater itself was one hundred feet in radius, even though half of it had been absorbed by the Devouring Order.

If the Wind Emperor was the one using it with his Wind Authority, this ability could turn a mountain into a lake in a single step.

Still, Theo had done a great job using this ability because he managed to restrain the Original Theo in one place for a few seconds.

Using that time, Theo summoned his Irregular Guardian in spear form and aimed at him.

"Go!" Theo shot the spear and used the World Re-Creation to expand the reality at the spear back. Although he had no idea how to shrink the reality for now, he could expand the back of the spear, giving a boost to the spear's speed.

"!!!" The Original Theo gritted his teeth and expanded his black substance. He knew that Theo's plan was to use the spear's speed to hit him before it got swallowed by his devouring power.

But Theo actually lifted his finger before the spear hit the black substance.

'Well, this is just something that I came up with, but I'll call this… Twisted Reality,' said Theo inwardly.

Suddenly, the Reality Order created an expansion in the form of a spiral instead of separating them into four.

In other words, Theo expanded the realm like a cylinder, causing everything within the cylinder to go outward.

"What?!" The Original Theo widened his eyes in shock because he could see that Theo bent his black substance. The Devouring Order could swallow even the reality, but this reality was expanding. So, the Devouring Power only swallowed the expansion, giving Theo a small gap for the spear to pass.

The Original Theo gritted his teeth and covered his body with the Superior Undead Body while tilting his body to the left to avoid the Irregular Guardian.

"Kh!" The Original Theo saw the spear fly past him, but it also managed to pierce through his arm, creating a hole in it.

"That's pretty useful." Theo smiled, finally seeing the potential of his new technique. This was the Original Technique he came up with by utilizing his Reality Order. In other words, there was only one person that could use this ability. Twisted Reality.

Theo also could use the technique from earlier called 'Separation' that could separate others, but he thought Twisted Reality was more flexible, so he chose this one instead of Separation.

"Now, now. Let's continue." Theo was excited because his original self could come here to let him improve himself.

Meanwhile, the Original Theo was thoroughly angered. He suddenly reached out for the pocket in his pants and took out a syringe.

"Hmm?" Theo widened his eyes, recognizing this syringe. It was the recovery medicine he often used.

"You don't think this is over, right?" The Original Theo smirked. Instead of injecting the fluid into his body, the Original Theo actually used his power to devour the liquid, absorbing the efficacy completely. The wound in his arm instantly healed instead of gradually, showing that he managed to absorb everything completely. "You know and I know. We both love to prepare something as a backup plan."

"…" The smile on Theo's face disappeared as he couldn't help but frown upon seeing this development.
