God of Tricksters

Theo looked down, falling into deep thought. Their conversation was so complicated that he didn't understand some parts. However, he did know that the Clone would become stronger because his current body would be the clone.

"Does that mean my clone can't die?" Theo asked with a serious expression.

"Nope. You can use your clone like how you do it the entire time. The body won't decay or die anymore because the clone is copied from your main body, which will be fixed soon."

"Ah, I see. This time, I'll clone the real stuff!"

"Yep."

Everything turned out to be this way.

First of all, because the main soul had gone to the reincarnation path, his current soul became the main soul.

A dead body would decay sooner or later, so his Clone Skill replicates his body out of nothing. That was why the clone couldn't use Order or Death Avatar. It would be different if the main body were revived. The Clone Skill would replicate his body out of the main body instead of nothing.

The explanation was too complicated, but he thought this was because he was just a mere clone. He feared that he would vanish or something and refused to accept the explanation.

Now that he had felt relieved, he believed going to Helheim was a must.

"The real Theo has died and I'm just a mere clone. However, am I still alive? The answer is obvious. I'm still alive because I, a mere clone, have become the real Theo," He muttered before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, you should go now since it's going to take a long time to reach there."

"But this place will be closed within seven days. It's impossible for me to go back if I go."

Loki shook his head to assure him. "If you go down before the time limit, you won't die from the cold. And to go back, you simply need to take a torch to warm yourself. If I'm not wrong, you should be able to finish all this within three weeks."

"Three weeks…" Theo scratched the back of his head.

"Just use your clone to inform them and go back home. After that, you can return here. It might take a bit longer, but they won't realize you're still here. As soon as you finish everything, you can go back alone."

Theo made a wry smile. He thought the same thing, but as one would expect from the God of Mischief, he could get that kind of idea without even the need to think. No wonder he was known as the God of Mischief.

"I understand." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"Good. It's time for me to leave now." Loki patted Theo's shoulders a few times. "I'm giving my power to you… There's no real or fake. Both of you are real in my eyes. As I said back then, Illusion or Reality? That depends on your choice. If you keep thinking you're just an illusion, you will be an illusion."

Theo felt heavy in the heart. He closed his eyes for a second and the God of Mischief had disappeared and his consciousness returned to reality.

"Mhm…" Theo let out a groan, feeling this cold place. He gradually opened his eyes and rose from the ground.

There was a complicated feeling in his heart. Although some of them had been sorted by the previous conversation, it wasn't easy for Theo to get rid of the feeling of being a fake.

Even so, it didn't stop him from going forward.

"From my brother to my own identity… I have gained so much from this place. In fact, the artifacts can't be compared to all this."

Theo looked ahead and muttered, "Still, I can't miss the fact I need to go back so that no one thinks I know something about this place. If they know this is Niflheim, my life will be in danger.

"In that case, I need to go back and settle everything." After deciding what to do, Theo summoned his clone and sent him to the outside.

Still, he didn't know how to go to Helheim. The myth told him to go down and to the north, but he hadn't found a clue how to go down.

"But since it's Helheim, only the dead can find the path to go forward… Well, my main body is already dead… So, how should I find it?" Theo fell into deep thought, remembering the riddle he got.

"Now that I think about it, the dead can actually find us because of the Magic Power. What if I close my eyes and continue forward? This way, I can focus my senses on the Magic Power. This place should be like a maze, if I can find the right path, I should be able to reach Helheim.

"That was what she meant about the dead can find the path to go forward? Is it because they have no eyes and rely on their senses? As for brave warriors and the weak… it means I shouldn't go to the place where the zombies are… Instead, I should become the weak and avoid all that stuff. That's the right path.

"And I need to make sure I don't go up and find myself in Muspelheim since I'll die." Theo thought for a moment and smiled. "That's right. Let's go then."

Theo felt as if he had deciphered the riddle, so he immediately focused on his senses and walked forward. Since the zombies always stayed in their paths, he wouldn't need to worry about going back.

The real Theo had a smooth journey, but the same couldn't be said to his clone.

When he was on his way toward the exit, he accidentally bumped into another person who was fighting a zombie.

Even Theo couldn't help but kill the zombie because that other person was someone he was familiar with.

Without hesitation, that person immediately jumped to him, hugged him, and said in joy, "I knew it… I knew it… I knew you didn't die, Theo."

That was right. She was Maya.
