God of Tricksters

Theo continued his explanation while forming three balls: red, yellow, and green. "The red ball is your power, let's call it Origin for the time being. Then, the Yellow is the Magic Power itself while the green ball is my Order and Authority.

"Your Origin Element creates and leaves behind a trace in our Order and Authority." Theo placed the red ball on top of the green ball, causing the red ball to melt and forming a few red dots on the green ball's surface. This was similar to a sign of infection.

"And now, with this power, we bestow it on the artifact. Of course, bestowing your Friend Seal or Covenant Seal to an Artifact requires Magic Power." Theo fused the green ball and the yellow ball. "This is the product that lingers in the artifact."

"The Kings and Saints of the past who gave our blessings simply took their Order and Authorities back, leaving the Magic Power and your Origin Element.

"That's why our bodies can accept it. It's just a lump of Magic Power with your Origin Element, which all creatures have since they're built from those… Even the Authority and Order were created from that Origin Element.

"In other words, all living beings in this world had Origin in their bodies like a branding from you. Just like having an Authority or Order, you receive that energy and the power system converts it to Attribute Points instead of Order Energy.

"I have realized this from the mermaid known as the Queen of Destiny. She could use her own power to supply energy for my symbol. That's absurd.

"But if she removes her own Order from that energy and transfers it to me? It's possible.

"That lump of pure energy that contains your branding will allow my body to absorb it, and my Order will influence it, turning that pure energy into my Order Energy."

The world didn't have a change of expression, but the world seemed to realize Theo had figured out the principle.

"So, what do you want, Theodore Griffith?"

"It's simple. I'm going to take advantage of this system to create numerous artifacts. Then, I'll absorb the energy to gain additional strength. Before I know it, I'm sure my attribute points will reach ten thousand each." Theo smirked. "That's not the limit…"

The world noticed Theo's real plan. "You…"

Theo raised his finger and pointed at the top. "Yes. I wonder what is beyond Singularity? Thanks to this power system, I can increase my attribute points unlimitedly.

"If Singularity has a total of ten thousand points, what if my attribute points are ten thousand points for each attribute? If that's not enough, what if I raise my strength to one hundred thousand points each? Maybe at that time, I'll become far stronger than you… Or in the best-case scenario, I might be able to destroy you with just a single flick."

"You are insane, Theodore Griffith." The world slightly raised its tone. He couldn't deny this plan either because this was the system that had been set up.

Theo might be able to absorb one artifact and get thirty points. But what if he created a thousand of those artifacts? He could get thirty thousand points. It already made him the strongest person in the world, surpassing those who passed the limitation and became a Singularity.

At the same time, Theo could simply choose not to level up and become far stronger without even becoming a Singularity.

Even if he couldn't create a thousand artifacts by himself, Theo had Felix and Ruth to help him. Rea would be able to do the same sooner or later. There were also the Heavily Sovereign, the Sword Saint, or even the monsters like the Frost Saint, the Dark King, or Ava.

If they all helped him, it would certainly happen. His subordinates would still follow his orders even though they didn't understand it, there was no guarantee that the others wouldn't do the same.

The world realized that he had been cornered.

"It seems that this is a loophole in the system you've created." Theo smirked. "Thanks to you, I can finally know what will happen. No one will be able to stop me… You can't send people or monsters to kill me because you're not something that will interfere.

"At the same time, the one beyond this dimension can't do anything other than see me increasing my power. That being could raise my other self's power, but it had to follow the system, not the loophole that I'd just discovered.

"Haha. Thanks to you, I can finally go at it without fear."

"Wait, Theodore Griffith. What you're trying to do—"

"I'm not doing something illegal and it won't cause a disruption in the Order since it comes from the loophole in your system." Theo shook his head.

"No. Stop what you're planning to do right now."

"What can you do? You can't do anything since you're not allowed to interfere." Theo shook his head. "That's why I'm not going to stop."

"State your condition in order to not use that loophole." The world decided to change its approach by giving Theo an opportunity to stop.

"In that case, I won't hold back. My condition is simple." Theo smirked.

"You have a condition ready? No, wait…" The world paused. It just realized a big loophole in Theo's own logic.

If he had this brilliant plan, there was no reason for Theo to tell the world about it. Yet, Theo actually gave away his plot as if he wanted the world to stop him.

As Theo said, if he used this power, even the being in the higher dimension couldn't stop him because even if they increased the original Theo's strength, they couldn't do it abruptly and mess with the entire world itself, causing a huge loophole in the system.

However, Theo knew that this action would also cause those beings to utilize other ways to remove him from this world. The God of Mischief might not mind being erased since it proved their existence, but Theo didn't want to die.

That was why he gave away his plot to force the world to agree to his condition, giving him a safe passage to increase his strength.

'The world itself had stated that it didn't love all creatures anymore, but it never specified anything. If the higher beings could actually cause all those reactions… I'm sure that the higher beings could take advantage of the fact the world didn't love the creatures anymore to erase me. That's why I couldn't take advantage of my own plan. Instead, it's better to get safe passage from the world itself.'

The world also understood what Theo was thinking. "It seems that you have set me up."
