"!!!" Theo slightly furrowed his eyebrows. He felt something strange from this power and immediately jumped back, avoiding it instead of taking it head-on.
Even though the original Theo had been cornered, he was still a powerful fighter. There might be a stronger trump card he was hiding this whole time.
The devouring power seemed to have gotten fiercer as well. They began to take over his body.
'The devouring power… Don't tell me…' Theo thought of something unbelievable. He believed that the devouring power was a double-edged sword.
In exchange for the ability to devour everything, the devouring power also had the ability to swallow its own host.
This was a huge matter. On the one hand, the fact that it had such a setback might be related to the nature of the power itself. On the other hand, Theo couldn't dismiss the fact that the Order and the Authority were not that absolute.
If his theory was correct, his own Reality Power might be a double-edged sword. But he didn't know when and where it would harm him.
Seeing this kind of change made him consider numerous possibilities and it couldn't help but remind him of what the world once said.
"I loved all beings living on me."
The world made it look like he only loved them in the past and he couldn't love them anymore due to some circumstances.
When he thought about it, there might be something that made the world stop loving the beings in this world. And as a reaction, the world provided a flaw in its own power.
However, there was one thing that made him concerned. When did the world stop loving them?
Unfortunately, the original Theo didn't let him think. Once he got a bit distracted, he reached his position and struck him with the devouring power.
Unlike the previous way of using the Devouring Power, this time, the original Theo's power was overbearing and uncontrollable as if it was a raging tornado.
Theo stopped it at the last second, but the sucking force made him stuck. Ultimately, Theo had to let go of his weapon and jump away.
The original Theo chased after him, but Theo used his Telekinesis to use all the objects around him to stop the original Theo for a few seconds. At least, it should be enough for him to sort his thoughts.
'If that's true, then there might be a flaw in everyone's ability…' Theo thought as he assessed everyone who got their power recently, including him.
"Die!" The original Theo roared and appeared on top of him.
Theo clicked his tongue and used his Reverse World to change the character of the devouring energy.
But the original Theo used that force to punch Theo. All the Magic Power gushing out of the power boosted his strength a few folds, launching Theo away.
It might be due to that punch, but Theo could see something with his Reality Eyes.
"This is…" Theo gasped. His Reality Eyes allowed him to see numerous realities that currently went on like him. Some of them had a similar timeline. Some of them had a different time, but the battle was happening.
But there was one new thing he found among those realities. One of the realities suddenly disappeared. He didn't die in that reality, but somehow he simply lost his connection to that reality.
"What?"
Theo wanted to think about the reason for its disappearance, but the original Theo had been chasing after him, preventing him from analyzing his finding.
'How did that reality disappear? There are only two possible reasons that I lose a connection to a certain reality. First, I die in that world. Second, the reality collapses.
'I didn't die there, and there was no way a reality would collapse for no reason. The me over there should be able to figure it out.'
Theo looked at the original Theo and gasped in disbelief.
The original Theo was smiling. He stopped chasing after him for some time as if he had gained something.
His expression was filled with bliss and his Magic Power became even more unstable.
But what shocked Theo the most was the words spoken by that mouth.
"Ah… So, this is what it means to devour my clone… It seems that there is not only one of you… It's no wonder that you suddenly become smarter than me…"
In that instant, Theo knew that the original Theo was the cause of what happened to that reality. It turned out the original Theo used his power to devour one of the realities. It was impossible since it wasn't connected, but there was something he couldn't help but notice.
'He can absorb another reality? But how? Our two realities are not connected. Even with the Reality Eyes, I can only…' Theo suddenly fell silent.
There was one thing that could connect the two realities. It was their Authority. When the Space Saint and a few other Saints joined hands, they managed to create a portal to another world.
So, there was a way for the original Theo to devour it.
However, Theo did forget one thing. He hadn't heard about it for some time, but it certainly created Order and Authority.
"Primordial Energy," Theo muttered the answer inwardly. That was right. The way to connect two realities was Primordial Energy. He had learned something about this power from the previous God of Reality.
Still, the previous God of Reality would have mentioned it if such a thing could be affected. After all, the fact that a Space Authority could distort Primordial Energy to open the tunnel by himself would be a big matter.
That was why he must not know about it. In other words, this was a flaw that was created recently.
In other words, this was the flaw of his Reality Authority, just like the flaw of Devouring Authority that could swallow its own host.
"No way…" Theo gasped. If there was someone who could do it, it would be the slime with its unique power. And this should be the exact reason why the world said it didn't love all living beings anymore.
"Don't tell me… Through the Primordial Energy, the Slime dissolves the world's love?"
