God of Tricksters

Theo gritted his teeth, realizing what had happened.

At the last second, the God of Mischief somehow managed to block all his attacks and even injure his foot.

"How can you have such a speed?" Theo gritted his teeth.

"The speed is indeed abnormal, but you forget the fact that I am basically the ruler of this illusion world. I can simply copy your ability with my Illusion Reflection." Loki smiled.

"Impossible. Even with that ability, you won't be able to replicate it." Theo obviously couldn't believe it. Even though he couldn't be compared to an Authority Level Figure, Theo knew that his ability was impossible to recreate even for the God of Mischief.

"Hahaha!" Loki chuckled. "Come on. Believe me again like you used to. You always took my opinion seriously in the past."

"You were the one telling me not to." Theo clicked his tongue while trying to figure out the ability earlier. He soon remembered one thing.

"Wait a minute… Authority Level figures like the Frost Saint can freeze everything, including time. Don't tell me your illusion can…" Theo sucked a cold breath.

At this time, Theo started wondering if Loki had just created a fake speed in his mind so that he could block everything. This way, Theo would move like usual in reality because his mind was the only thing going fast forward.

"Now that I think about it, you can create an illusion of the future possibilities when the Queen of Destiny tries to take a look at my future. As expected, Authority itself can affect everything whether they're related or not. That's probably the essence of Authority and what differentiates it from Order.

"Instead of canceling each other like the Orders, an Authority could affect other Authority and Order."

In other words, Theo affected his mind so that Theo didn't realize he was moving slowly. Still, it was too much even for Theo. He couldn't believe that the God of Mischief could still react with that kind of speed.

"…" Theo still wondered how to defeat this guy. He didn't think about whether it was possible or not to defeat the God of Mischief. But as long as he didn't give up, the chance was never zero.

Hence, this kept him from going. He wanted to see how far he could push the God of Mischief back.

But when he was about to fight him again, he heard a voice echoing right into his head.

"You think you can use this power freely?"

"Huh?!" Theo widened his eyes in shock because he never thought that someone would suddenly interfere with their fight. He didn't know why but this voice felt a bit familiar.

The God of Mischief furrowed his eyebrows and said, "I don't do anything bad with this power. Isn't it fine?"

"And do you think I don't know that you're going to make him learn this power? There will be a disruption if you use this power nonchalantly."

"Nope. It's just you who are scared of such a thing." The God of Mischief smirked.

Theo tried to figure out this third party's identity. But he got confirmation soon after he heard the next sentence.

"You used that power to steal something from me."

"Come on. It's just Reality Eyes, nothing wrong with it." The God of Mischief shrugged.

"Reality Eyes?" Theo widened his eyes in shock. He suddenly remembered that the God of Mischief had seen the world and learned many things about it. And the special eyes that he gifted to him in the first meeting were actually the Reality Eyes but not awakened yet.

Even so, the Reality Eyes could upgrade the rank of his skill, bending the reality itself. So, it was clear the other identity was the world itself.

"Just Reality Eyes? I bestow the power to people who deserve it. And you have broken that system!"

The God of Mischief smirked. "Then what? You're going to punish me? How about erasing me? You can't, right? I know you can't!"

The world didn't answer him. This was the time Theo noticed that the world was actually overwhelmed by Loki's shamelessness.

He stole something and gave the Reality Eyes to him, but he seemed to know something that forbade the world to punish him. That was why the world couldn't say anything.

'Did he just shut the world up?' Theo asked inwardly.

"It seems that you want to be sealed again." The world finally fought back.

"Let's see whether you can do it or not." The God of Mischief smirked as he raised his hand, preparing to use the Absolute Ruler. "You should know the ability of my Absolute Ruler. The ability that allows me to gain an advantage against you for the first time. But my aim is not you but the one who creates you."

Yes, the God of Mischief just admitted that he actually won against the world once. The proof was the Reality Eyes as well as the knowledge about this world.

"Do you think I am afraid of you? If you have your previous strength, you might be able to win against me. But you now don't have that strength anymore."

As if being fed up with Loki's attitude, the world finally sent its mighty force to crush everyone in this room.

Theo felt the intense pressure coming from above him as he immediately fell to the ground as if he was being crushed.

Loki, on the other hand, maintained his calm. His feet didn't even shake as if he could withstand this power.

But Theo knew the God of Mischief used the Absolute Ruler to isolate himself from the world's force, making that illusion world didn't have the mechanism of the world itself.

That was why Loki could stand there nonchalantly.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the world's aim wasn't Loki but his ability.

"Hmm?" The God of Mischief furrowed his eyebrows as if something was wrong with his body.

Suddenly, the skill he had popped out, sealed.

Skill: Absolute Ruler (A)

Effect: Becoming the absolute ruler of the illusion, giving little authority to manipulate a part of the laws of physics inside the illusion.

"What did you do?" The God of Mischief roared in anger.

"I do what I have to do to maintain the system." After sealing the power, the pressure suddenly disappeared.

"You…"
