Chapter 1575 Aftermath (3)
“Hahahaha!” The one who was laughing at the news wasn’t only Maya. The Heavenly Sovereign, who had been watching Theo the whole time, was truly amused by this sight.
He glanced at Agata and said, “To think that your man dares to do it this way.”
Agata sipped her tea calmly while saying, “That’s just like him.”
The Sword Saint sighed and explained what he got from this. “With all this news spreading around, his name is cleared, and his reputation soars to the sky. The union has lost its trust, but Leonardo’s reputation is still maintained as one of the best guys in the union.
“The Czar and the Empress Palace have been taken care of too and this kind of reputation will give a lot of advantage to your family.
“Basically, the ones related to him will benefit from this entire scheme. Of course, that also means my daughter’s got something good too. After all, she’s acting as his assistant… even though she was the one saying all that out loud.”
Agata smiled and said, “Don’t you think the people think she was in the right because she revealed everything? Also, it would cause her future enemies to think twice because she might let go of another outburst to destroy them.”
“Well, that’s certainly a weapon.” The Sword Saint sighed.
The Heavenly Sovereign smiled. Only he knew Theo’s real enemies this whole time.
‘I wonder what these guys would think if they knew Theo was the one causing the apocalypse… not directly of course, but he certainly pushed his original self to cause the apocalypse.
‘This is the first time I saw a villain hailed as a hero.’ The Heavenly Sovereign was laughing inwardly. If Theo didn’t do anything, the apocalypse would happen later in the future, and he wouldn’t be the one responsible for killing more than ten billion people on Earth.
‘But if he didn’t intervene, the apocalypse would become so big that it would annihilate the entire humanity from Earth. I wonder if I should call him a criminal or a savior next. It’s truly hilarious.
‘Either way, the situation has become like this. In the past, the God of Mischief caused the Ragnarok and was known as a villain. And this time, Theo caused another Theo to start the apocalypse and let him be known as a hero. I guess the student has surpassed his teacher?’
The Heavenly Sovereign couldn’t say it out loud, but he was amused by the entire situation. After all, Theo had managed to trick the whole world.
The Heavenly Sovereign shook that thought off his mind and teased the Sword Saint. “Aren’t you glad that he is your ally?”
“…” The Sword Saint sighed. “Yes and no. How many times have I almost got a heart attack when he recklessly did something? My daughter was involved too…”
“Hahaha!” The Heavenly Sovereign laughed. “That’s true. If we want to kill him, all Saints might have to unite to besiege him, don’t you think?”
“That’s certainly true.”
“Theo probably saw this future back when he first exchanged words with the Wind Emperor. The balance started tilting. Then, the Time God should have made some moves since he helped him at that time… Although it looks like the Time God is neutral right now, it doesn’t seem he’s planning to be his enemy.
“Then, you came with your daughter, becoming his ally. The balance shifted, and the result was the death of the Death Reaper. With the addition of me, Theo is practically invincible.
“Of course, the apocalypse slightly balanced it since we couldn’t really leave this place for a moment. And now, who can stop Theo?”
“He also has the power to rival us…”
“It’s still incomplete, but yes.” The Heavenly Sovereign furrowed his eyebrows. “21 Years to become a Transcendent Level Expert and 23 Years to go beyond that level… No, should I say that he’s only a few years old?
“After all, his parents had been hiding his talent this whole time. They even suppressed him… If Theo had grown from when he was a child, I wonder what he would become when he was at this age?”
“Do you think the Griffith Family would have let him go?”
“I don’t have a daughter, but don’t you think there are many people stronger than Mason who want him as their grandson-in-law or son-in-law?”
“In the end, they have no complete proof to show Theo’s talent. They can show it the bud, but they have to carefully consider the Griffith Family since they were big at that time.”
“That’s true. Unless they were insane, they wouldn’t accept Theo. In fact, the moment his parents brought him somewhere for that, the Griffith Family would have taken him away.”
“Indeed. Life sure is tough, huh.” The Sword Saint sighed.
“I also have mixed feelings.” Agata suddenly opened her mouth, interjecting their conversation. A smile appeared on her face as she said, “Due to that childhood, I could meet him.”
“…” The Sword Saint and the Heavenly Sovereign looked at each other, annoyed because she was bragging about her relationship with Theo. “Shut up.”
“Hahaha!” Agata chuckled as if telling them to accept their loss.
“Still, the youngest King and the youngest Saint in history. With his lifespan, I wonder what kind of achievement he will have in the future. This might be a curse for him, considering he’s going to become too strong for anyone and leave him alone. It’s going to be lonely for him…” The Heavenly Sovereign sighed.
“A strong talent can also become a strong curse, I guess.” The Sword Saint agreed. If Theo became a Saint in his seventies or older, he would still have the desire to improve to fight against the other saints. But with Theo’s current level, he would be lonely in his thirties. Then, it would become a curse that plagued him for the rest of his life.
“And there is one more problem for him… The fact that we can’t access the system anymore means he can’t go beyond level 1,000. That’s a shame. After all, his shrewdness should allow him to trick everyone until he reaches that step.”
“That’s true. It’s truly a shame.” The Sword Saint shook his head helplessly, disappointed.
