“Tsk. What’s going on here…” Theo was gritting his teeth, trying to figure out the situation. He couldn’t shake away the ominous feeling.

Theo tried to use his Reverse World to turn the darkness into light, but surprisingly, it didn’t change anything.

“Well, if my trick doesn’t work here, I guess there’s no need for a trick.” Theo clicked his tongue and hurriedly gathered all his energy in his fist. He even applied the Alter Ego to boost his strength.

With all that strength, he punched the ground.

*Bam!*

The punch was so powerful that the ground within a mile was shaking. There was a huge crater created from that punch. Yet, Theo couldn’t see anything.

The darkness didn’t change. He could only feel that the ground had turned into a crater, but there was nothing changed in his surroundings.

“Tsk.” Theo clicked his tongue and tried to do something else. At first, he thought that destroying the area around would cause some fluctuation in the area, resulting in the darkness ability to be unstable.

But since there was no sign of change, Theo turned into a huge dragon and soared to the sky. Since moving around didn’t work, he tried to go to the sky.

Unfortunately for him, the more he flew high, he could feel that the oxygen had started to become thin. Although his strength was enough to withstand the lack of oxygen, it would be bad to fight in this situation.

Hence, Theo returned to the ground, unable to escape from this darkness.

‘I don’t understand how this ability works. Even the Reality Eyes can’t see through this ability. So, how should I do this?’

Theo contemplated for a moment. ‘I have tried the horizontal and vertical change, but I’m still trapped. This is also not an illusion. Even if Theodon is applying the Reality Rule here, I should have felt it.

‘So, what kind of ability is this?’ Theo recalled what Theodon had said earlier.

“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!”

Theo closed his eyes, trying to figure out the situation. He had turned back to his human form and dodged the light attacks while thinking about how to escape from this ability.

‘This is his abode… But why does he want to use darkness as his abode? Is there a clue that I can use to solve this situation?𝑂𝚟𝐋xt.𝓒𝒪𝐦

‘There isn’t anything special in this ability, but it makes me worried. What should I do…’ No matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t see clues to escape.

‘I know that I’m not going to be trapped here all the time, and arranging this area should require a lot of Magic Power. I can simply wait until he’s exhausted, but I have told him that I will crush him.

‘In that case, I should assess this ability as a Reality Saint as well as his seven powers. What kind of power does he use to turn the area into pitch darkness?

‘Element, Space, Fate, Temperature, Sky, Force, and Earth. Now that I think about it, the darkness should come from Element. But because I can’t see anything around me, the space around me might have been distorted. That’s why I can’t escape from this place. Should I go with the light on then? Maybe I’ll find a clue somewhere. I’m going to examine it first.

‘Fate? What if he alters my fate to make sure I can’t escape from here? Then, the Sky and the Earth should have been expanded as well. That’s why I couldn’t destroy this place with all that strength and couldn’t slip past the barrier from the sky.

‘Then, how about Temperature and Force? Have I sensed any Temperature change? And is there any Force attacking me? No, are the white light and black light coming from Force? If that’s the case, he should be using the Temperature as well. But how does he use the Temperature?

‘To manage the humidity?’ Theo felt something was wrong. He also noticed that Theodon utilized all seven abilities at the same time.

And to break this power, he might have to use all his abilities as well.

‘Now that I think about it, Theodon considered me as an equal and planned to fight me with all his power. Does that mean I have to do the same thing to break free from this? What’s my ability connected to my Authority then…’

Theo was thinking about Reality Removal, Alter Ego, Twisted Reality, Mirage World, and Reverse World. He wanted to know if it was possible to combine them into a single technique.

However, the first law and the second law had a clash since one was copying an ability while the other changed its characteristics.

Theo had also been utilizing his Reality Eyes. But he remembered that Theodon wasn’t registered by the World, so he couldn’t see through him. It should be possible to find someone in this darkness as long as he used the Reality Eyes, but because of Theodon’s power, the Reality Eyes were rendered useless.

‘Wait a minute…’ Theo suddenly thought about something. ‘He isn’t registered in the world’s system? If that’s the case, does he truly exist? Although his Reality only shows him living in this reality, I still don’t have any proof it’s actually true.

‘He might be lying to me. In that case…’ Theo seemed to have another method that could be utilized in this situation. ‘There is one more ability that I haven’t used. The strongest ability that can erase something that exists completely from the world, my third law.

‘Just like my own personal system, I can use this ability to erase it, making me unable to access my system anymore.

‘I might be able to use this to fight a being that only exists in this reality. But the problem is…’

Theo didn’t want to admit it, but it was impossible for him to use this ability currently. After all, he still hadn’t mastered that ability yet and the energy consumption was so great that he still didn’t have enough to erase Theodon.

‘Still, I have to try since this is my only chance. Third Law, Inverted World.’
