God of Tricksters

"Eh?" Theo dropped his jaw, not believing what he heard.

"It's true." She made a wry smile and explained, "This is not a test. The Breathing Technique is too unique for you right now. After you get your own Order, you finally fulfill the requirement to learn this technique."

"Order?" Theo widened his eyes.

"Yes. You need an Order first before learning about this Breathing Technique. Without it, the ability won't be as effective and might even ruin the foundation for your Order."

"I see." Theo looked down. Although he was a bit sad, if what she described was true, he could understand it. "Now that I think about it, I've learned that Order comes naturally and how do you get chosen by a certain Order?"

"Ask the dragon."

"So, it's related to that." Theo nodded. "In that case, how about my eyes?"

"Right, we should move on to your questions." She nodded and said, "He's using his Authority to trick the system. I told you earlier that we can alter the world's Order to a certain degree, right?"

"Yes. So, this is not supposed to happen?"

"Yeah. He's using his own Authority to alter the law for you. This is also the reason why some people have abnormal abilities.

"For example, someone can see a glimpse of the future since birth or even that Alea… It's granted by people like us. I don't know if you have realized this, but those people from the past were like that too." She smiled.

"Ah!" Theo widened his eyes. "Do you mean that they were real?"

"Yeah. However, the Earth and this realm hadn't been connected yet, so you didn't know someone had blessed you with its power. And the connection wasn't that good either. Like what the people always told you in the past… God will be watching over you… That is true."

"Hmm, I have another question. In that case, where are you this whole time? You're in Heaven or something?" Theo frowned.

"Sorry, I can't answer that right now. He's going to explain it to you… probably."

"I see." Theo sighed, feeling a bit discouraged. However, he understood their situation and asked, "I have two other questions. You all appeared intermittently… Is it because you need a certain opportunity or a kind of power to connect with me?"

"Something like that. We need a certain amount of energy to do that. As for what kind of energy that is and how to acquire this energy… The answer will be revealed in the future. The more you know about this, the lower your chance to acquire this energy. That's the correlation, so I hope that you can avoid thinking about this."

"It's gonna benefit me, so I won't." Theo agreed without hesitation. "For now."

"Yeah. You'll know about it sooner or later. It's only been a few years since you started getting stronger. So, take your time."

"Understood." Theo raised his finger. "Then the last question. Why are you helping me… Why are you together like this? I believe others don't have like Four Authority Level figures to be their backers."

"I can't answer the former. As for the latter, it's due to his power, the Illusion Authority. To be honest, we've been wracking our brains to make sure that the skill we give won't influence your Order.

"This is the second reason why I'm sealing my Skill Verse. Not only did your body not have the power to contain it, but the full power of my Underworld Dominion would be influencing your Order. We want you to get an Order unique to your own."

"I can understand that." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "Blink, Clone, Metamorphosis, and Telekinesis… All of them don't have any relation with Order. And you need to seal your Underworld Dominion because you believe that when it's unsealed, I'll already have my own Order, right?"

"Yes."

"Understood." Theo thought for a moment and raised his hands. "I have many more questions, but they're not that important. I can search for the answer on my own. This place is made by that 'power', right?"

"Yeah."

"I won't waste too much time then." Theo nodded with a serious expression before bowing his head. "Once again, thank you very much for telling me all this."

"It's fine. This time, I'll let you leave in peace." She smirked while placing her hand on Theo's head. "See you later, kid. Make me proud."

"I will do my best." Theo smiled and closed his eyes, returning to reality.

It might be because of Hel's influence, but his Underworld Dominion was activated without his command.

Black-colored energy suddenly came out of his body, rose into the air, and passed through the Cubicar's roof. As soon as it was released outside, the energy started spinning.

"!!!" Agata, Ava, and Maya were alarmed by the sudden change.

Seeing the black tornado, Maya immediately left the Cubicar to avoid any kind of danger from Theo.

When she was out, she turned around and saw Agata and Ava leaping off the Cubicar, afraid of the black tornado.

They all saw the tornado gradually changing its form, turning into a giant figure.

"That's… That's his power from back then," Ava kept repeating her words in shock, recalling how terrified she was when the figure released its power.

They looked at this figure that only had an upper body. The fifteen-foot tall stood on top of the Cubicar as its lower body became translucent and entered the Cubicar, attached to Theo.

This was Theo's Death Avatar. Ava perfectly remembered its black magician hat, a white and black mask, white shirt and black vest, and its long red robe.

A purple flame suddenly appeared on the Death Avatar's left eye. In that instant, Ava's fur rose as her body trembled in fear.

Agata and Maya sucked a cold breath while clenching their fists. The chill air somehow brushed their skins, making them shudder.

'Death…' Maya gulped down, recalling her suspicion of Theo's Blessing.

The appearance of the Death Avatar was followed by a series of roars coming from the monsters nearby.

Roar.

Roar.

Roar.

A purple light flashed for a second before a shock wave shook the area and traveled in all directions as this was the way of the Death Avatar showing its might.

Inside, Theo gradually opened his eyes as his right eye was covered with dark purple flame.
