God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 1372 Impostor

　　Theo narrowed his eyes, never expecting to fight the original Theo here. "Faker, huh."

　　"What? I'm not wrong." The Original Theo smirked. "You are just a mere clone of me. After dying at that place, I overcame the underworld! But still… Thanks to you sending the Death Reaper down there, I had the chance to finally revive myself.

　　"I should be the one to have all that achievement, but you… you took away everything even though you are just a mere clone."

　　There were many pieces of information in his sentences. It seemed that the Original Theo somehow escaped from the system that Hel created. Still, he knew many Gods of Death other than Hel, so the original Theo seemed to be pretty lucky that he went there instead of anywhere else.

　　Although he could consider other underworlds that other Gods created, the Death Reaper died in the US, so the closest underworld to that place was the one Hel created.

　　'Hmm, Loki's clone copied the body and the soul, which is the current me. And when I used my clone for the first time, it copied my soul only because the body that I had to copy would soon rot.

　　'That was the real body, and after reviving that body, I could gain possession of the original body. However, there was one thing missing… It was the original soul that was supposed to have reincarnated. But because of some circumstances, it seemed that he managed to get away from the cycle of reincarnation and got stronger.

　　'Then, when the Death Reaper came, she revived him, probably creating his body. Although I could say that the Death Reaper couldn't be compared to Hel, it was clear that the Death Reaper was a Death Authority. They had reached the same level.

　　'So, it meant that the Death Reaper could easily create a body and give it to him, completely reviving him. Now that I think about it, how did he escape from that icy place? Well, I'm not sure, but it's clear that the one before me is my original soul with a different body.

　　'And that's why he had that power… Devour. He wants to devour me and everything I possess. Something like Devouring Order, huh.' Theo's expression became cold as he looked at the Original Theo and said, "To think that the guy who ruined my plan was myself."

　　"Yourself? Don't overestimate yourself. You are just a mere clone while I am the original Theodore Griffith." The Original Theo snorted as he looked at Ray and Valerie. "Father, Mother. I am your original son, while he is a mere clone. I hope that you can help me deal with him so that we can mend our relationship after this."

　　"You…" Ray and Valerie were shaken by their conversation. It was clear that the Original Theo didn't lie about his identity. At the same time, they couldn't choose either side.

　　On the one hand, The Original Theo was the one that Valerie gave birth to, while the current Theo was produced by a clone.

　　If they just looked at it roughly, The Original Theo should be the one to be favored. But they hesitated because they had also seen Theo's progress over the years.

　　"Magic Saint Fist Style, Twister!" Nella shouted as she struck the Original Theo with a torrential Magic Power.

　　"What are you doing, Nella?" The Original Theo narrowed his eyes and took a leap back, avoiding the attack.

　　"Fucking bastard." Nella snorted. She had been watching the fight from afar while listening to them through the camera from the people of the new Griffith Family, so she had a good grasp of the situation and decided to join to complete the battle. "Whether you are the original Theo or not, the one I consider as my brother has only been one. And the memory we share together doesn't lie."

　　Nella stood next to the current Theo. There was no hesitation in choosing the side for her because the best memory in her life was together with the current Theo.

　　"When did you die?" Nella asked.

　　Theo paused for a moment and said, "Before the school competition."ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

　　"The school competition? Before the Grand Gaia Competition then. So, there's no need to hesitate." Nella smirked. She had spent many times together with the current Theo, so she shouted to Theo's parents. "If you can't even choose the side, then leave! It's the best thing you can do."

　　Ray and Valerie truly didn't know. Unlike Nella, they had no experience with Theo that much, so they couldn't choose.

　　That was why Nella suggested they leave instead of staying here. This would be the battle between the Original and the Clone.

　　The Original Theo glanced at Nella and said, "Nella. How about getting married?"

　　"Huh?" Nella widened her eyes in shock.

　　She had always been in love with Theo. This time, the Original Theo wanted to bring her over by marriage. It would certainly make Nella change sides if she was the Nella back from the Grand Gaia Competition that was.

　　When Nella heard that suggestion, she raised her middle finger. "Fuck off. You disgust me. The Theo I know is someone who won't go against his moral values but still wins every battle. Thank you for making it easier for me to hate you. For me, you are the fake one!"

　　The Original Theo was startled by this response as black smoke gradually came out of his body. "So, that's how it is… Then, I'll devour him and become himself. Don't you think it's better that way?"

　　"You…" Nella gritted her teeth.

　　Theo suddenly stopped Nella by placing his hand on Nella's head.

　　"Thank you, Nella." Theo smiled and walked forward, facing the original him. "Let me handle this. As you said, these few years were not a lie."

　　"Theo…" Nella's expression mellowed a bit. Very different from the expression she showed to the Original Theo.

　　Theo smiled and looked at his original, saying, "You call me faker, but my body is the original body. Meanwhile, your soul is the original one but your body is a fake. So, what should I call you? Impostor?"

　　The Original Theo's body trembled as he finally let out his killing intent. "You bastard. I'm going to devour you today!"

　　"Try it… Im-pos-tor." Theo smirked, mocking the Original Theo like how he always mocked other people.
