God of Tricksters

Chapter 2013  Reality vs Devour

*Bam!*

The two Theo reappeared with their spears colliding with each other. The force behind the thrust caused a powerful shock wave that blew away everything on the ground. Only some sturdy trees managed to retain their positions.

Theo and his original self looked at each other’s spear. Unlike the original, Theo had his spear enhanced by the gem from the previous God of Reality. So, he had the advantage in terms of wielding the Reality Power.

However, the original Theo had a unique power that could neutralize Theo’s Reality Power. So, both of them tried to find a way to hit their enemies.

The original Theo made the first move. He raised both hands.

Infinite Darkness.

The entire area gradually turned dark. The sunlight still reached them, but it felt like everything had lost its colors.

This was the original Theo’s Infinite Darkness. He once used it during their fight in Italy.

And Theo couldn’t help but smile since he didn’t plan to fall into the same trick. Without hesitation, he snapped his finger.

In that instant, the entire world seemed to crack. The crack spread until it was all around the sky.

The original Theo wouldn’t allow Theo to easily break his S Rank Skill, so he flew forward while gathering his energy around his arms. Black-colored energy started wrapping his lower arms.

The energy was sucking everything in its surrounding, so the original Theo would never run out of Magic Power at this rate.

If Theo fought him for too long, he would eventually be at a disadvantage. The only way to defeat the original Theo was to use overwhelming power.

However, the problem was that the original Theo was strong enough to not be defeated easily.

The example was this black energy wrapping his arms.

Theo could see the name of that skill. It was only a Rank A Skill. There was nothing he should worry about, but Theo ended up using his Energy Blast and concentrated it on the tip of his spear.

He thrust forward and let the Energy Blast explode, causing a powerful shock wave that stopped the original Theo’s momentum.

“!!!” From the expression alone, it seemed Theo had understood the power of the black energy. That was why he blew him away.

The original Theo took advantage of this information to turn around and aim for another person near them.

Theo clicked his tongue, knowing that he had to keep the original Theo close if he didn’t want him to distract other Saints.

Although it would be annoying, he had to do it. He knew it was a trap, but Theo had no choice but to go after him. 𝑜𝒱𝓁𝒩xt.𝗇𝓔t

The original Theo smirked and clasped his hands.

Two black holes appeared on Theo’s side, absorbing the Magic Power around Theo. This way, Theo wouldn’t be able to utilize his strength to the fullest.

At the same time, the original Theo turned around and tried to grab Theo’s neck with the black-colored arm.

Theo looked to the sides before thrusting his spear, trying to pierce through the arm even if the Magic Power he poured into his spear was sucked by the black holes.

The original Theo grinned because this was his time to shine. He grabbed the spear like nothing then pulled it so that Theo was dragged in his direction.

His other hand was already moving forward, trying to grab Theo.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent was the ‘Theodore Griffith.’

Suddenly, the energy around the spear returned as if they were never sucked by the black holes.

“Huh?” The original Theo felt the sudden surge of energy and hurriedly dropped the spear, but it was a tad too late. The surging Magic Power caused a shock wave that hit him like a truck.

“Gah!” The original Theo spat an acid from his stomach as he was blown away. Still, the original Theo managed to utilize his Magic Power to stabilize his body and regain his composure.

He looked at the incoming Theo and used the little time he had to understand what had happened earlier.

‘I should have sucked his Magic Power with the black holes…’ When he glanced at the black holes, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. He was dumbfounded. After all, the black holes suddenly disappeared as if they never existed there. However, he still felt the connection between him and the black holes.

It was weird. But there was only one possibility. ‘Don’t tell me, the black holes are only an illusion? And this feeling is also an illusion? In other words, he is using his illusion to make me think that I have successfully used my ability while the reality is completely different?’

The original Theo got the shock of his life. He never thought that Theo’s attainment in illusion had reached this stage.

He didn’t know that the God of Mischief had shown him something like this. It was when Theo fought against the God of Mischief for the first time.

But because Theo was the Reality Saint while the God of Mischief was the Illusion Saint, he didn’t bother to create an illusion realm to make everything possible. He incorporated his illusion into reality so that the original Theo would be fooled.

Theo couldn’t help but smile as if he understood what his original self was thinking.

‘As expected of me, you should have understood everything. But this is not the extent of my illusion…’ Theo smirked, challenging the original Theo.

The original Theo gritted his teeth. Even though they were fighting each other seriously, they didn’t forget that both of them were the same person.

Obviously, they wanted to see who was really superior to each other.

Theo gathered his energy in his fist. His body had been covered with snake scales and his muscle had been enhanced to the point he could exert power beyond his limit.

The original Theo had done the same. He used the Superior Undead Body that he got in Helheim along with the Darkness Possession he got from his blessing. He gathered all the energy in his body into his fist and punched the incoming fist.

*Boom!*
