God Of Tricksters

"Don't tell me… Through the Primordial Energy, the slime dissolves the world's love?"

Theo widened his eyes in shock. How could he not be in shock? He had just figured out the reason why the world stopped loving everything on it.

And due to that lack of 'love,' the world had become flawed, resulting in the abilities given to others becoming flawed as well.

"Die, you bastard!" The original Theo screamed while jumping at him.

"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue and leaped to the side, avoiding him. He started running away as if he was scared of his change. But all he wanted was a bit of time to sort his thoughts.

Unfortunately, the more he avoided the original Theo, the more the latter tried to kill him. It seemed that his obsession was the only thing that kept him going.

Theo never expected that the flaw of his power was this extreme. Before, he had just fought the original Theo, who had refined control over his power. Yet, the next second, he suddenly became berserk like this.

He wanted to think that this was just an irregularity, but he couldn't shake the thought that the flaw was in him as well.

He didn't know how the Primordial Energy was connected to the flaw of his Reality Power, but he refrained himself from using it for a bit. He was scared that the flaw would appear so suddenly.

If that happened, this war might end in their defeat. That was why Theo wanted to consider all kinds of conditions first.

"You are annoying," Theo shouted in anger while using his Telekinesis. He tried to stop the original Theo's movement for a bit.

Due to the loss of his rationality, the original Theo should move only by his desire, so there was no way he could break free from the Telekinesis so easily.

But it seemed that the devouring energy was far stronger than he expected. It devoured the energy used to power up the Telekinesis.

Theo gritted his teeth, starting to get frustrated.

"It seems that I have to kill him first even if I have to use my power under this uncertainty." Theo took a deep breath. He wanted to find the flaw of his Authority at first, but it seemed that he had to change his plan and take this risk.

Just when he was about to kill the original Theo, slime suddenly burst out from the ground.

"Wha—!" Theo widened his eyes in shock. The slime created a pillar that completely engulfed the original Theo.

Due to its translucent color, Theo could see the original Theo being trapped inside. But in that instant, his berserk stopped as if the slime had dissolved his anger.

However, Theo could see that the original Theo's body had begun to disappear.

"No, wait!" Theo shouted while waving his sword, using his illusion to cut both the slimes and the original Theo in a single slash. He couldn't allow the slime to melt the original Theo. After all, he was the source of EXP that would allow him to reach level 1,000.

The slash surprisingly cut both the slimes and the original Theo into two, but to his surprise, he couldn't apply his power.

After all, he truly had indeed cut the slime. But the slime melted the part where Theo was about to cut the original Theo, causing him to split before Theo's attack reached them.

As a result, Theo couldn't get anything. And the original Theo melted inside the slime.

He never expected that the original Theo, who he thought to be someone important in this battle, would die as if he was just an ant being crushed.

This made Theo realize that just like the original Theo, he might just be someone's pawn that could be easily killed.

'What? What is this? The slime wouldn't have acted without any apparent reason. In fact, if he could do something like this, he would have made an attempt to devour the Magic Saint.

'In other words, the slime has changed its plan in this battle. There might be a mastermind behind the slime… And that mastermind knows that I can go beyond Mythical Rank and try to prevent me… And I think I know who that person is…'

For the first time after getting his Reality Authority, Theo finally doubted something in his heart. He always believed that there was someone in the upper dimension controlling everything.

But when he realized that there might not be someone in the upper dimension and it was just a lie to shift his focus on something else, he couldn't help but realize this entire war might be caused by one person.

And there was only one person who had the ability to create this grand scheme.

The moment he looked in the slime's direction, finding all three people who had once been trapped in the World Re-Creation ability return as well as the Time God who had arrived on the battlefield, everything was answered. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔

He saw the one thing that would shake the world.

The God of Mischief, Loki, stood in front of the Heavenly Sovereign as well as the Time God. The Heavenly Sovereign's expression was in complete shock as if he couldn't process what was happening.

Meanwhile, the Time God had a pained expression as he was holding his severed arm.

That was right. Loki's hand pierced through the Heavenly Sovereign's heart and crushed the Time God's arm.

Theo couldn't help but remember the first ever message that Jormugand gave him. It was said that the message came from the God of Mischief. But now that he had seen it, he couldn't help but understand the message.

"Have you ever thought of these questions… Will a man be called ruthless if he killed fifty people to save a million lives? Will a man be called a bad guy when he joins the enemy side to protect the people on his side? A tricky question, but the answer will come to you sooner or later. And you shall understand the weight of these two questions in the future."

It might be the first message. It might be the beginning of his lesson. But that message might become his own end.

"Loki…"
