God of Tricksters

Chapter 1740 Third Law

"This is your result." One of the staff, wearing a full protection suit, handed the document about the test.

"Hmm…" Theo glanced at it, showing he was a human. Maya also tested together with him, so they got the result at the same time. Luckily, no one sabotaged the result just to make trouble for them.

"How is it?" Maya asked while going back with him.

Theo simply showed her the result.

"This test result is wrong." Maya frowned. "Shouldn't you be called a devil instead of a human?"

"Then, what should I call you? A blood sucking leech?" Theo chuckled.

"A capitalist." Maya shrugged. "Though, I still gave them a quite good benefit. At least, better than the majority of companies."

"Well, that's your problem, not mine. Though, it's surprising that no one is trying to take advantage of this situation to make trouble for us."

"I guess my speech was enough to solve that problem for the time being. I heard that some of them had agreed to join hands to make sure the monsters couldn't escape from this place. Some who tried to run away were either captured or killed on the spot."

Theo nodded. "Well, this is going to alert our enemy, but I'm more curious about the Vice President's trial.

"I'm not sure about this, but with all that proof, I think the punishment is either death or life sentence."

"No, I'm not talking about that. The Vice President is essential to their plan, especially since they have one more facility. I'm just worried that there will be something outside my prediction…"

"Now that I think about it, where is the second facility? You haven't found it?"

"Nope. The data from that place is important. Though, I get a general idea of where they are." Theo smirked.

"Hoh? Interesting. When are you going to make your move?"

"The test will end in four days, but the quarantine will continue for at least another week. So, I'll do it tomorrow night."

"Is it going to be interesting?"

"Of course."

The two seemed to have agreed upon something since they were planning something on their own.

…

That night, Theo holed himself in the room to make his preparation. Even though it was a preparation, it was simply him trying to practice his third law.

"Three Big Laws, Third Law, Reverse World!"

Theo created a gap between her palms, trying to use his Reverse World just within the gap between palms. But in that instant, blood flowed out of his right eye.

"Kh." Theo gritted his teeth. He had been trying to use his Third Law, but there was no result in the last few months.

"I have three Big Laws that define my Authority. The First Law is the Law of Duplication. The law basically allows me to copy other people's abilities by infusing their elements and adjusting them according to my abilities.

"That's the least taxing law I can use since I have seen all the abilities I want to copy, so it's not that hard to replicate them. Though, I have to thank my Reality Eyes for showing how their ability works.

"The problem begins with the second law, the Law of Conversion. Basically, that law allows me to convert everything in this world into something else. Fire to wind, wind to earth and so on.

"Because there are too many things to be converted, it also takes a huge toll on my body. Even right now, I have a hard time using it.

"And the hardest one will be my third law, the Law of Inversion. Basically, I am turning something into the exact opposite…

"Hot turns to cold, soft turns to hard, tangible becomes intangible. And even…" Theo raised his hands again, trying to use them again. However, the blood came out again as he failed to utilize it.

"As expected, I still can't do it. Well, I can kind of understand why I have a hard time using it. This power doesn't belong to a Saint. It's beyond that… Maybe when I become a Singularity, I could use it. In fact, this might be the key to an ability that will surpass the world's system just like the God of Mischief's World Re-Creation Skill.

"After all, my third law reverses everything… Including the flow of time!" Theo muttered with a serious expression. He should know what it means to reverse the flow of time.

"Reversing the flow of time will create a disturbance in reality itself. After all, we're living in a four-dimensional world. Length, width, height, and time. If I reverse the length, width, and height, our world might collapse for a bit. And if I reverse time… I don't want to imagine what will happen.

"But this is probably the only skill capable of surpassing S Rank. It's beyond a Divine Ability…

"Though, what I'm most interested in is one of its abilities." Theo placed an apple between his palms and tried to use the Third Law. Suddenly, a portion of the apple disappeared and Theo spat a mouthful of blood.

"Gah!"

Theo grasped his heart and stated, "I managed to do it a bit… To think reversing the illusion and reality itself will require this much power…

"This is a bit different from my usual power where I use the illusion and apply it in reality.

"By turning reality into an illusion, I can remove something completely. For example, if I use this ability on a human, that person will turn into a complete illusion, including in people's minds. In other words, no one will know such a person exists to begin with.

"This is beyond what you call death. It reaches a state of nothingness. Unfortunately, I still can't use this power. I can only remove a thousandth of this apple… How much do I need to remove a human?"

Theo let out a sigh, knowing his journey had just begun here. He didn't plan to stop until he reached the end.

"Well, I think I should finish my training here and focus on executing my plan tomorrow." Theo laid on his back, exhausted. "Ah… I'm too tired to change my shirt."
