God of Tricksters

Chapter 1557 Stronger or Smarter?

“You used an illusion to recreate my attack?” The original Theo was shocked that Theo could use this kind of illusion. After all, this would make him unable to discern which one was an illusion and which one wasn’t anymore.

Theo waved his sword and released a powerful sword strike that had been enhanced by his Energy Blast.

The original Theo raised his hand and caught this sword strike with his bare hand. However, the sword strike gradually vanished.

If one took a closer look, they could see that the hand was actually absorbing the Magic Power, allowing the original Theo to replenish his Magic Power.

This would make the original Theo able to fight endlessly.

However, the original Theo felt something uncommon when he sucked the energy before he realized Theo had glitched again.

Suddenly, the sword strike disappeared, showing that it was just another illusion of him.

Before he could react, Theo glitched again and appeared right in front of him as if he could pause time itself.

“!!!” The original Theo leaped back because he was afraid of that slash, but right at that instant, Theo’s body once again glitched, returning to its original position as if showing that everything he had done until now was nothing but an illusion. No, him making an illusion might be an illusion itself.

“You…” The original Theo widened his eyes in shock, never expecting Theo to be able to do this level of illusion.

Theo smiled and said, “What are you doing? Are you scared? I haven’t even come closer to you, and you’re already scared. Am I that scary?”

The original Theo gritted his teeth. His Order might have been upgraded to Authority, but Theo’s Order wasn’t that either.

However, there was one thing that he picked from Theo. The fact that his Order could challenge his Authority like this meant Theo was expending a huge amount of energy to maintain this illusion.

On the other hand, he could keep replenishing both his Authority and Magic Power by using his Devouring Authority. So, Theo might gain some advantage right now, but he could turn the situation around sooner or later.

Knowing this information, the original Theo hurriedly charged to Theo while summoning a black ball.

“If you think you can fight me, then so be it. We’ll see who’s stronger!” The original Theo roared.

Looking at that black ball, Theo snapped his finger and used his Reality Removal to stop him before increasing his ability to the limit using his Alter Ego.

Suddenly, Theo disappeared, taking advantage of the lack of the black ball for an instant to hit the original Theo.

“!!!” The original Theo couldn’t see it with his eyes, but he could still feel Theo’s movement as he covered his body with Magic Power and even used one of his hands to catch something.

Suddenly, Theo appeared with his fist striking the original Theo’s palm, blowing him away.

“Kh.” The original Theo wasn’t hurt at all, but the embarrassment he received from this blow was enormous. He raised his vision and saw Theo getting covered in scale, preventing his body from getting torn by the air friction.

This was his Supernatural Snake Body. After a long time, he finally reached the level where he could apply it to protect himself completely.

“This is just the start.” Theo smiled. “If you can’t go down easily, then I just have to kill you over and over again.”

Theo still remembered when the original Theo absorbed the medicinal liquid. With the Devouring Order, he could replenish his Energy and Magic Power as well as recover from his wounds by devouring the medicine, so the original Theo was like a zombie. He would keep coming back until his opponent died.

This would surely create some pressure on Theo because he had limited energy. Even right now, the original Theo could see that Theo’s Magic Power was depleting rapidly because he had maintained all the illusions.

“Do you think you can compare to me?” He summoned the black substance from all over his body, causing Theo to be unable to hit him with the Alter Ego again.

He wanted to use his blade while using his Alter Ego. Unlike the Frost Saint, whose body was so large that a single cut wouldn’t be enough, the original Theo could be killed by that blade.

However, the fact that the original Theo was smaller, his speed would be much faster than the Frost Saint. So, his blade would be blocked in one way or another.

Seeing this situation, Theo let out a long breath and said, “It’s useless. I can’t find a way to defeat a Saint right now.”

“Haha, you’ve finally realized it. You have used a third of your Magic Power and that ability to increase your physical strength must use a lot of energy as well. Sooner or later, I can kill you.”

“You talk too much.” Theo snorted before clapping his hand. A huge smoke spread, covering both of them.

The original Theo hurriedly sucked the white smoke to reveal Theo’s body, but the result was unexpected.

“Huh? Where did he go?” The original Theo was dumbfounded and looked around, not finding Theo. He thought Theo actually escaped, but there was no way he would abandon these people. So, Theo must be hiding somewhere.

However, it didn’t take long for Theo to reappear before him, and the original Theo dropped his jaw, finding something shocking. “You… Your Magic Power and Energy…”

Yes. The original Theo could see that Theo’s Magic Power and Order Energy had fully recovered as if nothing had happened.

It didn’t take too long for him to realize what was going on. “The one I’ve been fighting this whole time was a clone. And you simply resummoned your clone to copy the main body’s current condition, which is in perfect condition.”

If the original Theo could use his Devouring Authority to recover, Theo had his clone. As long as his real body hadn’t used any power, he could copy that condition over and over again, giving birth to an endless clone. The only thing Theo had to pay attention to was the consumption of maintaining his clone, which could be easily recovered by natural regeneration alone.

In other words, just like his original, Theo could fight endlessly.

Theo shook his head helplessly and said, “As I said, you might be stronger than me, but I’m certainly smarter than you.”
