God of Tricksters

Theo's expression turned grim as he was attempting to use something he hadn't mastered. This was the hardest technique he had ever used, so he had to be careful.

The Magic Power in his body started coming out as though they were leaking out of the pores. Yet, when they came out, the Magic Power was swirling toward Theo's hands like they were sucked into a whirlpool.

The energy started getting more and more concentrated. Theo's Third Law was to reverse everything. In other words, the real became a fake, the fake became real. The darkness turned bright and bright became dark.

That was why he couldn't mess it up when releasing this power. He might end up getting swallowed by it.

'Target, seven powers. Let the darkness become light, the space expansion starts to shrink, destiny becomes undetermined, the Temperature is fixed, the sky will become the ground and the ground will become the new sky, and let the Force turn into a vacuum…'

Theo muttered in a low voice as he gathered his energy into both hands. Suddenly, the sword, specifically the jade that Theodon gave earlier, started sucking the Magic Power and releasing it at the same time.

The new Magic Power was more refined and harmonious. This was the effect of an artifact.

Theo never experienced it because his weapon was still too weak in the past. But with the new jade, he could feel the output of his energy was twice the original.

Theo couldn't help but smile as he finally activated his power. "Origin Reality, Third Law, Inverted World."

The moment he clapped his hand, his power began to spread, turning the darkness into light.

Theo had to use his power to form sunglasses to avoid blinding his own eyes. The space also started shrinking, allowing his power to rapidly consume this ability.

A weird feeling suddenly struck his heart, but it didn't make him uncomfortable. Instead, it brought him comfort and peace. He wanted to shout, "I'm free."

Gravity also began to change its course. Theo's body started to float as if he was going to fall upward.

Theo used his Telekinesis to keep his body afloat even if it meant he was standing with his head below.

He had seen this kind of situation when Loki used his World Re-Creation, so he could adjust his body better.

But to his surprise, the moment the light shone upon the darkness. It was completely empty. He looked around and realized that the darkness was still on the very edge.

The bright area only covered a quarter mile in diameter, but there was no single exit from this place.

In other words, he was trapped in this darkness and he wouldn't be able to escape unless the one who cast this ability released him.

Despair started creeping into Theo's heart. This ability was far more terrifying than anyone thought.

Knowing everything he did was useless would make one lose hope. And even if they didn't and kept going, they didn't know how long they had to travel in order to escape.

The thought that they would be trapped in this darkness forever would eventually crush them.

Theo spat a mouthful of blood as he dropped to the ground. His Magic Power was depleted because of the Third Law.

"Kh." Theo gritted his teeth while grasping his chest. He started gasping for air as he looked around while in pain. "Is everything truly useless?"

Theo's expression darkened as if he had started losing hope.

"Is this the difference in our ability?" Theo punched the ground, frustrated. "Did I do something wrong? Why?"

Suddenly, a voice entered his mind.

"Eternal Darkness. This is my ability." Theodon's figure gradually appeared in front of him as if he had been in the exact same place this whole time. "I have seen it from my mother and developed my own ability.

"This Eternal Darkness will keep expanding like the beginning of the universe and you won't be able to break it unless your power can overwhelm the expansion. I know you have that ability, but you don't know what kind of power my ability has.

"In other words, the information is very crucial." Theodon pointed at Theo's eyes. "Your eyes can see through almost everything, giving you all kinds of information that could help you in a battle.

"But what if your opponent is using something you don't know? You will fall for their trick. I know that you're trying to manipulate your enemy's action, but you should know that there will be a time when your opponent surpasses that prediction.

"No one knows what you're thinking. Hence, no matter how you manipulate them, there is still a chance that everything won't go according to your plan.

"That's why this is actually the real lesson. I don't want you to be overconfident, thinking you can manipulate people easily.

"Do you understand, Theodore Griffith?"

"I do understand that not everyone will go according to my needs even after manipulating them. It's just…" Theo gritted his teeth while looking down. He seemed frustrated. Of course, after being shown the difference in strength, there was no way he would be happy.

Theodon said, "After this, you should go straight to the north for thirty minutes or so with your speed. He is waiting for you on top of a small hill. It seems—!"

He suddenly stopped and turned around as another voice echoed in the area.

"That won't be necessary."

Seeing how another person's voice entered, Theo couldn't help but turn around to see what was going on.

A black-haired man suddenly appeared with a calm expression. He seemed to have predicted the outcome and made his appearance.

The guy had slanted eyes and wore glasses. He wore a gray shirt covered in a long black coat.

"Hmm?" Both Theo and Theodon stopped for a moment as they never expected such a person to come here.

Theodon frowned as his expression darkened. "What are you doing here, Loki?"
