A thin smile drew across Theo's seductive lips, and he then made his illusions expand!
The moment he did this, everything seemed normal; nothing was noticed. That was the difference in his ability after evolving. Even though it hadn't been a natural evolution, it hadn't slowed the skill's performance much. In fact, Theo just needed to gain more experience in controlling the illusions caused by his skill.
['Rya, it's true that they can't see through my illusion ability, right?'] Theo wanted to be sure.
["Yes, Master, believe me!"] Rya said with conviction.
['Okay, thanks Rya. You can come back now,'] Theo said with a smile and felt more relaxed. The feeling of being watched secretly and being afraid that his secrets would be discovered had been very unpleasant.
As soon as Theo finished talking to Rya, the big ball of pure energy that was forming began to take the shape into that of a giant polar bear.
*ROOOARRR!*
The instant the polar bear's head formed, the polar bear roared furiously as it looked in Theo's direction. A hail storm fell towards Theo because of the roar.
Theo, who had already isolated the whole place in 100 thousand kilometers of the surrounding distance, was now able to relax and give his best. Against this hailstorm, Theo snorted with indifference and expanded his divine flames. It was as if a sea of flames had appeared, causing all the hail to melt before it even got near him.
The polar bear, which was made of ice, felt threatened by the flames coming off of Theo. Although he did not have much intelligence, the primitive instinct of the beast warned the polar bear not to approach those flames.
'Heh... If you are not going to come to me, I will come to you...' Seeing that since the moment the polar bear was formed he had yet to come towards him, Theo would not sit waiting.
Walking towards the polar bear, Theo used his *<Black Thunder's Primordial Vibration>!*
In the sky, dozens of lightning bolts suddenly flashed. One by one, the thunder boomed inside the polar bear's head.
Having nothing left needing to be prepared, Theo, using his affinity: Divine Lightning. Even though fire may have been the worst enemy of ice, lightning was its worst nightmare!
The polar bear roared fearfully, and with its four legs, the polar bear ran, fleeing the lightning that fell towards it.
"Escape? It's not that easy!" As soon as Theo murmured this, he used <Teleport> and appeared in front of the polar bear and attacked with his hand coated with divine lightning.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
A resounding shock wave hit the giant polar bear's body, echoing as the polar bear was sent flying even with how large its body was.
*THUD!*
With a heavy sound, the polar bear fell on its back on the floor. It roared in pain and tried to get up, chips of ice falling to the floor. Its body appeared to be made of glass, with a crack in the polar bear's chest.
"Take this!" With a wave of his hand, Theo made lightning fall towards the polar bear's head.
*Booom!*
The instant the lightning hit the polar bear's head, the head stayed completely burnt and half of the polar bear's face was disintegrated.
Theo used <Teleport> and appeared in front of the polar bear and used <Devour> on him!
_ _
[Filled 415,419,981 lineage cells.]
[Bestial King Bloodline advanced to level 8!]
[Divine Lightning Affinity advanced to level 7!]
_ _
After that, Theo sat on the floor and started meditating to stabilize his affinity and lineage.
In fact, while he was doing this, for the divine beings who were watching, Theo still seemed to be fighting the polar bear in a life and death battle. This he did mainly to avoid arousing suspicion and to make them be less cautious with him.
Isis, however, began to suspect the truth as she watched all this happening while raising her beautiful eyebrows. 'Hehe... He seems to have had a breakthrough!'
Quite cleverly, Isis guessed that Theo managed to evolve his ability to create illusions, but now he could even trick her. If it weren't for the fact that she knew Theo, she would have been deceived herself... In truth, she only managed to find this out because she knew Theo's strength; she knew he wouldn't need that much effort to defeat this polar bear.
In the sky, the sound of thunder was crackling, but only Theo could hear since he was hiding it with illusions.
A bolt of lightning hit through his body as he meditated on the floor. It was his power that got out of control and ended up hitting him, but it wasn't able to hurt him; it just made his body tremble a little.
This continued for a few more minutes until Theo was able to completely control his affinity which had recently leveled up. Afterward, with a relieved sigh, he focused on stabilizing his Bestial King Lineage.
'Finally...' Theo muttered in his mind and stood up. When he did that, his illusory version of himself had also finished the fight that seemed to be happening. He mainly made the illusion seem like he had barely won and had been completely worn out.
In the next instant, he made the illusion of himself sit on the floor and meditate and even pretend to eat a pill to regain spiritual mana. The divine beings seeing this, nodded. It was natural to have gone through a tough fight to defeat the polar bear that was in the third stage of the Divine Heavenly Tribulation.
"Humph! He's just a chicken in the end; that's it," a divine being who was jealous of Theo for having Helena's attention said with disdain.
'Fool!' Isis, hearing this, was silent. She thought it was funny, since they were being deceived and didn't even know it.
In the air, energy from heaven and earth began to accumulate and the essence of metal was manifested and created a large metal sphere. Theo gradually made this process appear in his illusions. He still needed to continue to deceive these divine beings; being cautious was not asking too much.
*
On the planets that sent cultivators of the Monarch Spiritual Realm to kill Theo, they found it strange that they had not returned even after so long and decided to investigate, and soon they found out by several different means, either by sending someone to Planet Spirit or by crystal attached to the soul that is destroyed the moment the owner dies, that their attempts were unsuccessful. Upon discovering this, all these powerful beings mourned their losses and in their vengeful hearts, a flame was lit, and they were even more anxious to kill Theo.
"We need to take revenge for our lost brother!" That phrase was shouted on almost every planet.
Of course, they couldn't just invade Planet Spirit. It was necessary to have a plan that did not attract so much attention. In addition, they needed to be even more cautious, since if Theo managed to kill a "single" cultivator in the Monarch Spiritual Realm sent by them, if they acted in the same way, it could end up having the same result.
After a meeting, most of them decided to send 2-3 cultivators of the Monarch Spiritual Realm. Not only that, they prepared several dirty tricks: like poison, formations, talismans...

- On Planet Spirit - Fallen Star Island -
Completely oblivious to what the cultivators of other planets were planning, Aomi and the girls were worried about Theo and waiting for his return.
"We are surrounded!" Aomi said suddenly, going on full alert. Her focus was on protecting Theo's friends, daughters, and women.
Athena, Waru, and Posel also noticed this and were alarmed.
"You two stay here protecting everyone else. I'm going to help Theo's family," Waru said. She knew that if something happened in Theo's absence, even though he wouldn't blame them, she could forget about having his collaboration in the future.
Although Waru didn't know what had happened to Theo, she believed that he was fine, or else the girls on his side wouldn't just simply be concerned.
"Yes." Athena was no fool, she understood Waru's intention and agreed with that.
Posel said nothing, but his silence was confirmation that he would stay to protect Railander and the rest.
It was not even 1 minute after a formation was created around them that a gaseous smoke was manifested. Those who smelled it passed out instantly.
"Don't breathe in that air!" Aomi warned.
Yuki and the rest nodded and held their breath. They all had breathing techniques and could easily continue with the same breath for many hours; some of the girls even managed to stay with the same breath for days.
Concerning the toxic air, it was not known who exactly planned all this. More than a dozen cultivators in the Monarch Spiritual Realm had appeared.
"Where's Theo!? You better get out of there... or else they will all die here because of you!" an old man wearing a robe that looked a lot like a gold-colored dress, said full of malice.
"Theo, you fearful turtle, get out of there, and accept your death!" an arrogant young man shouted. He was jealous of Theo when he heard everything he had done, and now seeing how many others had come to kill him along with himself, this arrogant young man did not miss the opportunity to ridicule Theo.
A supersonic sound echoed as soon as this young cultivator said this and a blue woman with a pair of horns, devoid of any emotion, appeared in front of the young cultivator who said this.
Aomi said slowly, almost choking the young cultivator to death from her murderous aura, "You know... you have committed a... most serious crime. That is… talking bad about Theo in front of me!" She had appeared next to the young man as soon as she noticed Waru had joined Yuki and the others.
The young, long-haired cultivator who wore gray designer clothes from Planet Earth, didn't even have time to react or even scream. In the shape of a blade with a blue aura, Aomi's hand-cut towards the man's neck, cutting off his head, making the head fly and blood gush from the opening.
After that, Aomi turned towards the other cultivators and asked without emotion, full of murderous intent, "Does anyone else want to speak ill of Theo?"
