Because he was only a small bird, the force was enough to knock him down.
Theo was forced to return to his human form and landed on the ground.
"This is not enough…" Theo muttered in a low voice while observing his opponent. The man standing before him was the best person to become an example of his Reality Power.
He imagined the giant void and tried to figure out how it worked. He had never copied a Space Element user after all, so it was hard to figure out the trick behind that void.
Though, he had something that could be used as a replacement.
Theo stepped on the ground using his Ascension Step, accumulating the power on top of his head.
Theodon didn't allow him to gather all that power and pressure him with his Sky power.
Surprisingly, Theo let out a smile when Theodon was about to destroy the Ascension Step.
"!!!" That detail didn't escape Theodon's eyes. He instantly stopped what he was doing, trying to figure out the situation.
But that was when Theo released the Ascension Step horizontally.
Theodon was shocked because Theo was supposed to release the Ascension Step upward. But then, he remembered Theo could expand the reality.
In other words, the Ascension Step worked properly, but its direction changed due to the World Re-Creation.
And the one that gave Theo an opportunity to launch this attack was none other than his smile.
'Did he just trick me with that smile?' Theodon sucked a cold breath. He obviously knew how Loki operated. Normally, Loki would be very honest. As long as he could withstand the little trick he played here and there, he would have a good time with him.
But when Loki was in the fight, he would be extremely annoying. His strength might not be as strong as others, but their minds couldn't withstand Loki's scheme.
Loki sometimes smiled. That smile could mean anything, including nothing.
And Theo used that smile to trick Theodon into thinking there was a hidden scheme behind the Ascension Step and that the plan would work if they clashed. Unfortunately, the truth was there was no trick. Theo just wanted to stop Theodon and use that opportunity to release the Ascension Step.
Theodon hurriedly utilized his Force power to neutralize the Ascension Step.
But this was when weird things began to occur.
The moment the Ascension Step clashed with Theodon's Force, they suddenly merged with each other.
"Huh?!" Theodon widened his eyes in surprise. He never thought that the Ascension Step and his Force could merge like this.
However, he soon waved his hand, trying to remove it but to no avail. In that instant, he realized it was just an illusion from Theo where he applied his Reality Order to make it look real.
"Interesting!" Theodon smiled and saw his Force neutralizing the Ascension Step.
Theo looked at Theodon with a poker face. His eyes were still filled with determination.
"!!!" Theodon suddenly felt a fluctuation of Magic Power coming from the side. He turned around and saw the raging force from Theo's Ascension Step.
He hurriedly raised both hands and covered his body with Magic Power as the Ascension Step struck him, blowing him away like how his Force punched Theo earlier.
Theodon landed two hundred feet away while smiling, "You're an insane bastard."
"I'll take it as a compliment." Theo smiled. It seemed he had understood a bit of his power.
Theodon narrowed his eyes and analyzed the previous attack. 'As expected, that wind is real. When it was about to touch my Force, the wind moved in another direction, looping around my Force.
'And the reason why he put the illusion to cover everything was to lower my guard down, thinking the wind wasn't real. More importantly, he succeeded because of his previous smile.
'He knew I would be thinking about that smile and didn't doubt him for a while because he wouldn't use the same trick twice. But that was actually the trap.
'As expected, he might have realized earlier that his Reality doesn't lie in Uncertainty like mine. Instead, his Reality's core is at his trick.
'He can make everything around obey him. If it doesn't go according to his plan, it will just become an illusion. And if it does, it's the reality.
'Can I even call him a Reality User? He's more like a trickster…' Theodon gritted his teeth. He couldn't help but remember the trouble Loki had caused in the past.
They might have been born in different places, but he had met Loki and made him his friend. He knew Loki had been planning something. And seeing Theo utilizing his power like this made him realize Theo was Loki's secret weapon.
"I see. So, that's how it is." Theodon smirked. "It seems that I have been rude this whole time. To fight you, I might have to use all my strength even if it means I can only last for a moment. I don't need to teach you anything because you have all the tools needed to advance your power.
"That's why Theodore Griffith… I shall recognize you as an equal and fight you with all my strength."
Theo shook his head with a smile, humbly replying, "Of course not. I just received this power not long ago, so I can't be compared to you."
Theodon gritted his teeth. The God of Mischief often became so humble whenever he was playing with his tricks. And there was no way he would believe Theo's words.
"Whatever." Theodon snorted and released all his Magic Power. His body became a bit more translucent in exchange for an extraordinary amount of talent. He suddenly clapped his hands, "This is the ability I have honed in my entire life. So, it's time for you to witness it, Theodore Griffith.
"I shall invite you to my humble abode. Lakonia Sketjha!"
A light shone from his hand and became brighter and brighter to the point it blinded everyone that tried to see it.
Even Theo covered his eyes with his hand while releasing his Awareness to make sure he didn't get a sneak attack.
But the light dimmed soon as the entire environment changed.
