God Of Tricksters

Chapter 1232 Realization

After meeting with Aisha, the duo continued their trip. The next destination was Theo’s school. There weren’t many memories in this school other than painful ones, so Theo didn’t really know what to talk about.

Since Theo didn’t talk too much, Felix finally asked, “Sorry, but I think I need to ask you this question again. Are you sure you’re alright? I know you assured me that you’re still you, but I think you’re different.”

Theo looked at Felix in confusion and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Just like the previous one. If it were the normal you, you would have recruited her in one way or another instead of disclosing your identity. I know it’s easier to talk to her with your real identity, but you’ve been hiding yours for a long time.

“And after the sudden prolonged stay in France, you didn’t even react too much when Akbar revealed your identity. I truly believed that you were going to threaten him or something…

“Although I didn’t see any change in your normal behaviors, I could still see the difference in your not ordinary activities like negotiation and such.

“I feel like you’ve been trusting people so much recently,” Felix explained his observation this whole time. “I’m not good at this, but I believe Isaac will find out this change easily.”

“…” Theo fell silent. It was rare for Felix to speak up like this, so he considered his words carefully.

The one thing that stuck in his mind the most was the last part.

“I’m trusting people easily?” Theo muttered in a low voice. After a long pause, a question appeared in his head. “It’s true that I’ve been hiding my identity this whole time. Only after I recruited them and trusted them enough that I would reveal my identity… In that case, why?”

Theo closed his eyes for a moment. After getting recognized by the world, he could see multiple realities at the same time.

In that reality, he knew that they were trustworthy. However, he forgot the fact that it was his other self in that particular reality that met them, not him.

Even they weren’t the same as the ones from the other realities. No matter how similar they were, they were, by no means, the same.

‘I feel like this has happened before. Because of the Synergy, I’ve been influenced by the numerous possibilities causing my action… No, wait. The God of Mischief has clarified that the Synergy is real, but the connection between my reality and destiny is not.

‘In other words, I wasn’t influenced by the Destiny Order. It was something else. And looking at how similar my condition is to that particular situation… This can’t be…

‘Have I experienced the same thing? Now that I think about it, at that time, the Queen of Destiny was using her power to supply the energy so that I could reach the third stage of the Reality Order.

‘There was a possibility that the world had recognized me due to that influx of power. But because my body and soul weren’t strong enough, it became a side-effect.

‘And now, my body and soul are strong enough, and I personally have accepted the Reality Eyes. So, this might be the side-effect. In other words, whether it was in Atlantis or in this place, I was influenced by the side-effects of Reality Order.

‘The Reality Order was truly manipulating or affecting my mental state. Is this what you mean by losing yourself in reality?

‘I know that my current power is not strong enough to go to the other realities… And I’m not planning to do it very soon because I don’t want to affect the realities around me.

‘But still… reality will make you lose your personality. This might be the true meaning of that sentence.’ Theo frowned.

With a single look, he couldn’t really see any flaw in his argument, considering the past and the current symptom were similar.

“It seems that I need a lot of time to sort out everything,” Theo muttered in a low voice. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ that?” Felix frowned, worried about Theo’s condition. It seemed that Theo had noticed something strange in his current state, so he wanted to make sure Theo didn’t do anything stupid.

Luckily, Theo looked at him with a smile. “Thanks, Felix. It seems that I haven’t paid enough attention to my current self.”

Looking at that smile and listening to his tone, Felix felt relieved because this was the usual reaction from Theo when he understood the entire situation. He knew everything was going to be alright.

“I’m sorry, but I think I need to do meditation to sort all the stuff in my head. I can’t really show you around after this.”

“It’s fine. You don’t have many good memories about this country, so I’d rather not know about it… it makes me angry too.” Felix smiled, assuring Theo.

“In that case, let’s go back, shall we?”

“Yes. Though, are you still planning to go to the other side tomorrow?”

“I can’t miss that opportunity because it’s true that I owe her that much.”

“Should I go with you?”

“Hmm…” Theo thought for a moment and eventually shook his head. “Sorry, but I think I’ll go alone.”

“I understand. You said tomorrow, so I believe you will come back that day. If that doesn’t happen, I’m going to start looking for you. Sorry if you feel like I’m constraining your actions.”

“Nah, it’s fine. My current situation is a bit complex, so I can understand your worry. Even I will have a hard time fixing this, so I won’t do anything dangerous for the next three months.”

“I understand. Thank you for your understanding.”

After recognizing his situation, Theo returned to the hotel with Felix constantly checking on his current condition.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Theo’s day was truly eventful.

When he passed on a relatively quiet area where only rich people could stay, since it was where his hotel was, he met another acquaintance.

*Bam!*

The wall shattered before him as two people came out at the same time. Both of them had purple hair, but Theo felt nostalgic when he saw the huge blade that was as big as the user’s body.

Suddenly, another person emerged from the wall. He had the same facial features, but he looked much older compared to the other two.

He glared at them and said with killing intent. “You two bastards. I’m going to make you regret angering me.”

Theo couldn’t help but roll his eyes while thinking, ‘What is the chance…’
