God of Tricksters

Theo swiftly sliced the troll's neck, killing him. The troll's face was still shocked and confused as he couldn't decipher Theo's last message to him.

"It seems I have been too…" Theo wanted to reflect on his action before he turned around, finding the beast coming toward him. It seemed the monster was ignoring his clone because his master died, planning to avenge him.

However, the monster couldn't reach Theo as Clone Theo landed on top of his head, grabbed his neck with the Death Avatar, and cut its body.

"…" Theo was silent for a moment before shaking his head. "It seems I have been too focused on disintegrating the Magic Power…

"Instead of that, I should alter it in a more effective way. When I see it like this, my path becomes clearer all of a sudden." Theo took a deep breath. "No wonder Order is something that symbolizes the king…

"It has the ability beyond what a normal person can do. I still believe the top one hundred people in the world have Order.

"And I wonder if there is a Reality Order user in this world or on Earth." Theo suddenly fell silent when he thought of another Reality Order. "Wait a minute… What if there is someone with a Reality Order? And What if that person has an affinity?

"Element, huh… I tried altering the Magic Power, specifically its affinity earlier, and it worked like magic. Instead of disintegrating or cutting the Magic Power, I can actually turn them into something neutral like my own Magic Power.

"But now that I think about it, if I can alter the Magic Power's affinity, can I actually do that in reverse? In other words, giving the Magic Power an affinity…"

Theo's expression turned grim as his curiosity got the better of him.

Without hesitation, his clone raised his hand and poured his Magic Power into the air. Meanwhile, Theo tried to imagine the fire like how he usually altered the Magic Power.

As he expected earlier, there was a small spark in the Magic Power, albeit it was only for a split second before disappearing.

"Hah!" Theo started panting as he felt a massive headache. The Order Mark on his chest was burning like crazy. "What's that? I certainly saw the spark, but all of a sudden, there was a sharp pain in my chest. I don't really mind pain, but this one feels different.

"It seems I can do the same thing in reverse. With this power, I can actually wield all elements since I am altering the reality itself. No wonder it is one of the thirteen Big Orders.

"Of course, this ability doesn't allow me to wield the element like using a skill, but if I use the Materialization from the notebook…"

Theo's expression suddenly became silent when he remembered the notebook. Although he had some thoughts about this, this discussion actually made him realize another thing.

"Wait a minute. Order, the basic foundation of Five Aspects, this artifact, and…" Theo remembered everything that his previous teacher, Nina Eilric, gave or taught him.

He suddenly realized that every technique was so versatile that ten people might have ten different approaches.

"No… Now that I have reached this point, I can clearly see that Nina is not capable of this feat. In other words…" Theo sucked a cold breath. "Everything that I have right now is actually a gift from my parents?"

Nina once taught him all the basics about the Five Aspects. These basics came from all renowned masters all around the world. And it was his parents who used the favors they owed them to create this perfect foundation.

Then, Nina gave him the Materialization notebook. It was not possible for Nina to have this kind of Materialization since it was too unique.

After thinking about all elements, Theo realized he could actually control all elements with Materialization. As long as he has those elements around him, he can use them to his advantage.

And there was only one person that had such a talent to produce such ability.

"The Materialization must come from the man known to have the greatest talent in Control… In other words, the creator of this technique is my father…" Theo muttered with a grim expression.

"It was a B Rank Artifact before, and I'd reinforced it to A Rank Artifact, but the only one who had this much money was…" Theo facepalmed as he soon realized everything he had actually come from his parents.

Soon, a complex feeling stuck deep in his heart. If he ignored all the hardship, he would think his parents had given him everything he needed to become strong.

And the only reason why he thought like this was none other than Owen. He had seen what actually transpired in the past.

Even he didn't know what he would do if he was in that situation. He might even go insane because of the grief and trauma.

For the first time in his life, he actually doubted himself whether it was alright to continue hating his parents.

"The circumstances, huh…" Theo narrowed his eyes before shaking his head. "No. I shouldn't think about this right now. It is not important. What I need right now is how to wield the Order.

"I know that my Order allows me to wield all elements, but it seems I am lacking many things.

"First of all, I don't have an affinity, allowing me to wield Magic Power easily. However, it also means I don't understand the characteristics of other elements, like what are they? How can I use them? What is their secret? Unless I can answer this, I might not be able to give Magic Power an affinity. I can only do the reverse since I'm familiar with normal Magic Power…

"I guess I need to fight with many people to do this. I will learn, experience, and absorb their knowledge and make it my own." Theo clutched his hand and said, "And if I can achieve this, I might be…"

Before he finished, he suddenly heard roars echoing through the tunnel.

His clone had disappeared, and Theo only glanced for a second before he gathered the proof of his subjugation and left through another tunnel. "It seems I have been thinking for too long…"
