God of Tricksters

"Ascension Step, Tenth Step… No, Ascension Step, Tenth Strike!" Theo slammed his hammer on the ground, launching the accumulated wind at the scorpion.

"Hmm?!" The scorpion gathered the silver sand and turned them into liquid before it solidified into an umbrella that protected him from the wind.

However, the scorpion underestimated the power of this torrential wind. It felt like the sky had fallen on top of him. The silver umbrella was pushed down. When it touched his body, the ground started to crack when carrying all that force from above.

The crack spread to half a mile in diameter, showing the power of the Ascension Step.

Theo smirked. 'That's right. I can use this Irregular Guardian to recreate their abilities… Not just replicating it but recreating it. Just like my World Re-Creation Ability, I can recreate those abilities and make them my own!'

Theo realized that he might be able to copy others' abilities, but he forgot to make them his own.

"You're annoying!" The scorpion shot poison toward him to stop Theo from using the ability so that he could move again.

Theo retracted his ability and changed his Irregular Guardian into a scythe, slashing the air to open the void.

This void swallowed the poison inside, and no one would ever see that poison again.

"Perfect." Theo smirked, proving his hypothesis. He truly could make them his own through his Irregular Guardian. In other words, this ability would be the trigger to recreate Divine Abilities. At this level, even the Irregular Guardian should be called a Divine Ability as well.

After that, Theo formed a shield and imbued Earth Element into it. He remembered how the Great Guardian used his ability.

He planted the shield on the ground while summoning a huge wall to block something. "The Great Wall!"

But unlike the Great Guardian, who used his wall to block the enemy's attacks, Theo dropped that giant wall on top of the scorpion, trying to crush him to death.

"This is annoying!" The scorpion roared, not because he was injured but because he was annoyed by this confusing ability.

Theo hadn't stopped there, he turned the shield into a staff. "Now that I think about it, only Flora can be called a Magician, right? So, am I going to use her ability?"

Theo didn't care about it anymore. As long as that power was useful to him, he was going to use it no matter what.

He tapped the ground with the tip of his staff. In that instant, ice spikes came out of the ground in all directions, surrounding Theo.

The scorpion frowned because the ice was used to freeze his silver sand. He tried to corrode them, but it would take time due to Theo's thick ice.

"…" The scorpion narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Attack him right now!"

This order was understandable. After seeing how Theo's ability would disappear the moment he changed his weapon, Theo had no other choice but to release his silver sand if he got attacked.

Unfortunately for him, the King Class Monsters were nothing in Theo's eyes.

The moment he saw them coming, Theo gathered his Energy into his fist before using his Blink to appear in front of one of them.

"Not good!" The scorpion realized it was a bad move to have them attack Theo. He should have just let them stay on the back while trying to make an opening for them to exploit. But due to his order, Theo could get close enough to one of them, trying to use this opportunity to kill at least one King Class Monster.

The other King Class Monsters tried to stop him and the scorpion even shot its poison to stop Theo, but he was unstoppable.

The Alter Ego increased his strength and Theo gathered his Magic Power into his artifact. He might have used his Irregular Guardian, but his artifact was free to use.

His artifact turned into a spear and lightning began to spark on the spear's surface.

Seven lightning balls came out, regulating this lightning and even amplifying it.

"Seven lightning balls as a conductor…" Theo smirked. "Ava… I don't know where you are right now, but I still remember you. So, let me use your power to eliminate my enemy this time."

"Stop him!" The scorpion shouted.

The King Class Monster in front of Theo was actually a three-tailed cat. It used both claws to strike the spear's blade to knock it away.

But the lightning released a huge spark, blowing away those two paws and leaving the King Class Monster without any defense.

"Die," Theo muttered with a cold tone as he pierced the cat's body.

"You can't defeat me. I have 9 li—" The cat smirked and tried to use his body to stop the spear as he attacked Theo.

"Whatever." Theo smiled. Nothing could make him flinch on this battlefield.

Before the cat finished his words, the seven lightning balls entered the cat's body and exploded, electrocuting the cat.

"With those seven lightning balls, now you only have one life…" Theo smirked. He pulled out his spear and casually sliced the cat's neck, killing it. "And now, all your life is gone."

"Cat!" The ape roared. Instead of helping the cat, he actually knew it was impossible to fight Theo since he had the experience from before. So, he chose to sacrifice the cat to make his next attack work.

The ape suddenly appeared behind Theo, forcing the latter to turn around and wave his spear to cut him away.

The ape had prepared for everything. After seeing how the Saint had a hard time against Theo, he grabbed the spear with his hand, allowing Theo to take that hand away so that he could duck down and punch Theo with his other hand.

"You're strong." Theo smiled, acknowledging the ape. This was the only monster that dared to use its body on the line to harm him.

And that punch struck his body, creating a distortion that could even twist his body.

"Gah!" Theo spat a mouthful of blood as this was his first injury in this battle.
