*Boom!*
One would expect a huge explosion from that thunderous eruption, but everything was completely suppressed with a box created by the God of Mischief. Instead of a shield, he created a box with layers of screen to contain that kind of explosion.
"Present? Where?" The God of Mischief nonchalantly asked as he still looked down on Theo from his throne.
Theo clicked his tongue, knowing that it wouldn't be easy to fight against him.
Theo didn't give up as he immediately released his next attack.
"Since there's no present, I should be the one giving it to you then." He smirked and summoned a huge gear on top of Theo.
At the same time, numerous gears appeared around him. Even if he could fit in one of those gaps, he would be hit by the gear above it, making Theo unable to escape other than going to the throne since that was the only space without a gear.
On the one hand, Theo wanted to remove all these gears with his Attribute Removal, but the God of Mischief would use his own order to keep the gears. So, it would be impossible for him to remove the gear with his current power. On the other hand, he also didn't want to go to the throne since it would mean he admitted his defeat.
With these huge gears falling on top of him, Theo was thinking about the reason why the God of Mischief summoned a gear. If he wanted, he could summon blocks since it would mean he had no choice but to escape. Even the gap wouldn't be nonexistent unlike the gears above his head.
"Tsk. This can't do…" Theo's expression became cold as he had been preparing this move to attack the God of Mischief, not to move around the gears.
"Ascension Step, Fifth Step!" Clone Theo finally made his move by releasing the accumulated air above him, creating a torrential air that pushed the gear upward.
However, it only stopped the gear for a split second. There wasn't even any long-lasting effect.
Not convinced, Clone Theo took another step, sending forth an even stronger shock wave.
Ascension Step, Sixth Step.
Unfortunately for him, even with the Sixth Step, the shock wave didn't even make the gear flinch.
Theo sent two more shock waves, but they could only stop the gears for a bit longer.
Finally, he could see some light when he released the ninth step.
The overwhelming shock wave tilted the gear slightly, but he soon realized the reason why the God of Mischief used gears instead of any other objects.
When one of them was tilted, all the gears also had the same reaction since they were connected to each other.
If he made a sphere or a cube, Theo could strike the edge or side to push them. But with a few layers of gear, it would be impossible to break them unless he managed to find the weak points.
And that wasn't possible within this time frame.
"…" Clone Theo gritted his teeth and finally used all his might to strike the edge to tilt the gear over. "I will use everything I have in this strike."
Ascension Step, Tenth Step!
The step that he never once took when he still used the Ascension Step openly.
But this step was also the reason why the Ascension Step was considered a Divine Technique. If the nine previous steps could gradually become stronger by accumulating the residual wind of the previous step, the tenth step replicated all nine steps and fused them into one.
Instead of a torrential wind flow anymore, it became a huge twister that spun in the clockwise direction.
The power was so great that Theo had a hard time controlling it. In the end, Theo changed his target.
"Instead of tilting it over, I'm going to break it!" Theo struck the center point, trying to break this construction of gears from the middle. Snapping the structure into two would be great, but creating a hole was also a success.
For the first time, the extraordinary wind from the tenth step pushed back the gears and continued as it kept rising and rising.
At the same time, Theo gathered the Order into his spear, which soon changed its shape into a sword.
"If I want to cut something, there's nothing in this world I can't cut." Theo applied the Reality Order to his sword and swung upward.
Just like the ability that he used to fight against Winston, Theo's Reality Order finally created a huge impact on the entire structure.
There was a clean cut apparent in the gears, showing that Theo's power was enough to shake his opponent's power.
However, he was still underestimating the power of the God of Mischief.]
When the gear was about to split up so that Theo could escape from this gear, the God of Mischief snapped his finger, causing the floor to disappear.
"…" Theo looked down and realized he began falling down into unending darkness. When he raised his vision, everything became smaller as time passed.
If he was a normal person, he would believe this was the case, but Theo was an illusion master as well.
Before he fell down completely, a platform appeared and raised him back up to the ground before Theo used his ability to summon lights around him to illuminate this darkness.
Not wanting Theo to escape, the God of Mischief immediately closed the hole so that Theo couldn't leave that hole.
Clone Theo, who witnessed everything, was quite shocked that his real body looked indeed as if he had fallen down. Not a single trace was found when he looked at the floor.
Still, Theo wasn't a pushover either. Suddenly, his body appeared in his previous position as he panted a few times.
"As expected, it's just an illusion. I have a hard time escaping that one." Theo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
He recounted what happened earlier and said, "So, that's how you use the illusion. Creating a double-layer illusion so that even if I break free from the first illusion, I won't realize that I am already inside the second illusion."
