God of Tricksters

'Is there truly no other way?' Theo narrowed his eyes, trying his hardest to find a way.

"It's impossible, Joker. There's a theory about it. I don't remember the name of the theory, but it says that it's impossible to escape from fate because what you would have done have been done by the other you in those possibilities." Isaac shook his head.

"…" Theo looked at him before closing his eyes.

"There is already so much research about it." Isaac sighed. "I know that you don't want to lose, but there's something impossible in this world."

"…" Theo let out a sigh as if planning to give up. However, he soon remembered one more thing. It was his Order.

His Order didn't have the ability to manipulate that possibility. Even if he got stronger, he might still not find a way to do it.

However, Theo found something completely unique.

'Wait a minute. The Queen of Destiny… she… Can she understand the destiny after getting an Order? Even the Creator God needs thirteen Big Orders to create this world.

'The God of Mischief told me that there's a higher being that controls this entire universe. For them, we're like a character in a movie. If I ignore the fact that their action might also be related to destiny, it still means that I can manipulate the destiny of this universe, not the destiny of the higher dimension.

'In other words, if the being from the higher dimension wants something, they can simply change it to the thing they like.

'This way, the fate of this universe will change simply because of outside interference, the one that isn't controlled by the fate of this universe but theirs.

'The Queen of Destiny wants me to break free from this universe's destiny, so if I get their help, they can easily free me from it.

'The proof of their existence is there, but no one has seen or witnessed their appearance. So, I don't know if it's possible.

'So, it's impossible to ask for their help, which leads to another failure. However, there is one other way that can intervene with fate.'

Theo's expression became serious as he finally asked Loki. 'If you don't mind answering this question, what is this world… no, who is this world?'

Theo used who instead of what because he considered the world a living being.

The only reason he thought this way was due to the existence of Order and Authority. Even the God of Mischief said he had seen the world's rule as well as the system to create this realm.

In that case, the world should have its own consciousness, enough to use 'who'.

'The world can grant you an Order and Authority if it deems you suitable. It can also take it away. In other words, the world itself has Orders and Authorities to be granted to others… No, should I say the world is the original owner of the Orders and Authorities?

'As an original owner of Destiny Order and Authority, doesn't that mean the world can see and manipulate fate better than the Queen of Destiny? If that's the case, the world itself has a destiny that can't be seen by the Queen of Destiny. After all, the one who can see the world's destiny is those from the higher dimension.

'If I have the world's assistance, the possibility that shouldn't exist will appear. And this should be enough to overwrite the current destiny.' Theo muttered inwardly, giving his answer.

To his surprise, the God of Mischief spoke.

[Thus, the first step of you breaking free from the fate that controls your entire life. However, you're simply too weak to even see the hidden truth of this world. The way you're now, you can't twist fate. It's impossible for you to get him.]

'So, are you telling me to give up? No, you told me to make my own decision. This is my decision. I'm not going to give up.' Theo clicked his tongue.

[I know you're going to say that. Do you remember the Synergy that I told you back then?]

'Yes. When the Queen of Destiny poured the energy into my Order, the Synergy unconsciously happened.'

[It's a lie.]

Theo widened his eyes and abruptly stopped in his tracks. If not because of his sturdy foundation, he would slip to the ground.

"What?!" Theo shouted in shock.

[It's impossible for the Synergy to happen unless both parties agree to it. Just imagine if that happens without your knowledge, the world would be in chaos. When I messed with others, I could simply use the Synergy between us to wreak havoc. I could simply fight my brother and create a place filled with lightning and thunder… Yet, why didn't it happen?]

[It's simple. Synergy can only be done when two parties are using that power for the same goal. The same applied to the creation of this realm. Without getting the consent of other Authorities, do you think my power alone was enough to create this realm?]

[No. I used the energy in your Order to manipulate the things she saw with my illusion. In other words, a part of what she saw was just an illusion… Those were the possibilities I created with my illusion.]

'This…' Theo was stunned, never expecting that the God of Mischief would lie to him. He never lied to him this whole time, so he didn't know why the God of Mischief would actually do this to him.

However, his question was soon answered, albeit it wasn't something Theo liked.

[Do you remember what I said last time? I wanted to teach you a lesson about taking someone's gift without knowing anything about it.]

Theo remembered the scene where the God of Mischief played him. But before he had any time to respond, the God of Mischief had continued.

[What if your kid accepted a gift from a stranger? The gift is a bomb. For the kid, who has no knowledge about bombs, it would look like a present. But for the parents, the bomb is the thing that will kill the entire family. That's why you told the kid not to accept things from strangers. The kid is like you…You're too full of yourself just because you have a sudden power up.]

[I am angry, Theodore Griffith.]
