God of Tricksters

As soon as he fell to the ground, Theo's consciousness traveled to another place. This time, it wasn't an illusion.

"Mhm?" Theo gradually opened his eyes and found himself standing in the middle of an empty white room. "Where is this?"

A deep, gentle voice resounded across the room, saying, "I think it's time to talk about it."

Theo was familiar with this voice as he turned around, finding another Theo standing behind him. Even though the body was Theo's, his voice was similar to that of the God of Mischief.

"Am I still alive?" Theo asked the most important question right off the bat.

The God of Mischief smiled and pointed at himself. "This is your body, your main body."

"I have seen the skill's description. Are you telling me that I'm a clone this whole time? Does that mean I'm not real? Is that why you asked that question?"

"You're misunderstanding a few things. Why do you think the skill name is a clone instead of something else?" Loki calmed him down with a single wave of his hand and explained.

"Clone… Exact copy." Theo looked down for a moment, falling into deep thought.

"We don't have much time here, so I'll just explain it to you. It's quite complicated, so I don't know if I can truly convey what I want to say or not. Anyway, You are already aware of the body and soul, right?"

"Now that I think about it, the soul truly exists…" Theo nodded, remembering the illusion of his brother.

"The Clone Skill copied not only the body but the soul."

"So, my soul is a copy of the original?"

"Yes. That Full Recovery thing is none other than the process of copying your body and soul. Because of your injury, it's impossible for you to survive more than five minutes at that time…

"Hence, I decided to use the Clone Skill to produce another Theodore Griffith. And that is you."

"Does that mean we're here to revive the original?" Theo asked. He didn't know how to feel, considering he had been living in this body for so long. On the one hand, he wanted the original to be revived since he was just a mere clone no matter the condition. On the other hand, he didn't want to lose against the original. Everything he had experienced in the past few years was real.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the God of Mischief gave him an answer different than expected.

"Nope. Unlike your brother's soul, who is already aware of the soul part because of his connection to another great being… Your soul has already entered the reincarnation." Loki shook his head. "After all, your death back then was due to betrayal."

"But you said I need to go there to revive a part of me."

"Yes. A part of you… In other words, the main body, not the soul. You're going to have two main bodies and one soul," said Loki with a serene expression as if everything had been in his calculation.

"Two main bodies?" Theo dropped his jaw to the ground. Although he still didn't understand what he was talking about, he felt as if he had gained something.

"I should explain it from the start." Loki sighed and pointed at himself. "This is your main body. Understand?"

"Yes."

"Because you died at that time, the Clone Skill copied your body and soul, and that is you."

"Yes."

"How about the main body?"

"Died, and the soul has already gone to the reincarnation stuff."

"What's about the main body?"

Theo pointed at the body that Loki possessed.

"That's right. This main body is now just a dead body without a soul. And what's the fate of a dead body?"

"Decayed and…" Theo suddenly fell silent, receiving his answer.

Loki suddenly snapped his finger and turned the main body into a skeleton with some decayed bones as if telling him this was the main body's condition. Seeing his expression was enough for Loki. He then said, "We're going there to revive your main body and split your soul so that the clone can become the exact same as your body."

"But doesn't that mean I will disappear?"

"No, no." Loki shook his head. "The Clone Skill right now is using your Magic Power to produce your body and soul. Because your main soul has gone to the reincarnation path and your main body has become like this, the Clone Skill you use will copy this empty skeleton… So, in order to become the exact copy, you need Magic Power to recreate the body."

"Yes."

"But if you revive your main body, it'll be different."

"Like what? I can summon another clone? That means there will be three Theos?"

"No." Loki shook his head again, denying his abrupt imagination. "Your Clone won't be just a lump of meat made by Magic Power… Instead, it will become a true body."

"I'm sorry, I still don't understand."

"To put it simply, if you use the Clone Skill, the clone will have the ability of the true body. First, no one will recognize it's a clone because you're exerting the same power as your main body." Loki smirked, raising one finger.

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in shock. "Doesn't that mean the Magic Power that the clone is exerting right now will be completely calm… No, should I say I won't even need to use my Magic Power to maintain my clone?"

"Exactly. It behaves like your body right now since it's not created from your Magic Power, but it's copying your Main Body."

"Your words are quite complicated, but if I put it simply, it's the same as having two bodies, right?"

"That's what I told you at the start." Loki sighed. "Anyway, this means Your Clone can do the same thing as your real body, except for the clone skill."

"Except for the clone skill…" Theo narrowed his eyes. "Can it use my Order or Death Avatar?"

"That's right." Loki nodded with a serious expression. "Let's call your main body "Body A" and your clone body "Body B".

"You're occupying Body B right now. If you use Clone, you're creating an exact copy of the decaying Body A. And because of the condition, Body A is no more. That's why the clone right now is just made by Magic Power.

"It will be different if your Body A is revived and you use it as your main body. The Clone Skill will create an exact copy of your main body. Now that Body A is in the complete form, your clone will now have the same ability as your Body A, except for the Clone Skill.

"In other words, Body B, the one you used right now, will be retracted to Body A, so that when you use your Clone Skill, Body B will be the exact copy of Body A which has the same power as the current Body B.

"So, after reviving your soul, I'm going to move your soul to Body A… To put it simply, you will be able to use all of your current power, from Skills to Order, with your Clone Skill. You just need to know that if you still can't understand."
