Chapter 882 – Truth
"Move your Magic Power into the mark on your body," said the dragon while glancing at Theo.
Theo was sitting in a lotus pose while closing his eyes. As soon as he heard the instruction, he directed the Magic Power in his body toward the mark on his skin.
The moment the Magic Power rushed inside the mark, there was a slight resistance jolting his mind, giving him a stingy sensation on the mark.
*Cough!*
*Cough!*
"What is this…" Theo coughed a few times and started panting.
"To use your Order, you need to convert all Magic Power in your body into the one influenced by your Order first. I told you that your Magic Power would gradually change color, right?"
"Yes."
"That's the difference between a normal person and a King. When they sense this power, they usually stop attacking you if it's within your territory."
"But you said I'll be like this for another few months."
"That's the natural process. What I'm doing is speeding up the process."
"Then, won't the others find me?" Theo frowned.
"Of course, we can hide it. When you convert everything, you can stimulate your mark to camouflage it with normal Magic Power. How do I say this… it's a kind of two layers of Magic Power.
"The inner one is your power while the outer one is the Magic Power from the air that sticks to your power to hide your real power."
"Mhm," Theo mumbled in agreement. "I see. In that case, I should convert them first."
"Yes. Continue it like this, and I believe you can convert everything before reaching our destination."
"I understand."
"While you're converting them, I'll continue to talk about Order, so listen well."
"Before that, do you mind if I ask you another question?" Theo stopped him as he recalled the letter he got from the pope.
"Sure. Ask me anything. I'll answer if I can."
"Can you reincarnate?"
"…" The dragon fell silent, never expecting to get this kind of question from Theo. "Reincarnation, huh. That's something I don't know."
"But you're similar to God Level beings, no?"
"How should I explain this… Let's compare your ranking and those in the past. Tell me your seven classifications."
"Normal, Elite, Champion, Hero, Supreme, Mythical, and God Rank," Theo answered without hesitation.
"After learning for a few hundred years, I've learned there were also seven classifications in the past. Common, Nobility, Legendary, Saint, Apostle, Lesser Deity, and Supreme God."
"Common is similar to that of normal people. Nobility are those who govern the commoners. Legendary is someone who achieves the limit of their physical body. Saints are those who have surpassed their limit.
"As for the Apostles, they are those who have attained the peak of their power and learned the truth of the world. Lesser Deity is the one who controls the world's power, while the Supreme God is the one revered by Lesser Deities. Maybe you can look into the past and divide it yourself." The dragon explained as simply as possible.
Theo looked down and fell into deep thought, contemplating his words.
"Then, if I use the term from the other side… Common is that of normal people. Nobility is a kind of Athlete. As for Legendary… I feel like they're the famous people in the past like War Generals or the people who are considered to be the best of their own field or simply the GOAT.
"Then, Saint is for people who are believed to have surpassed human's boundary like a great scientist, shaman, or whatever. Isaac Newton, Sun Tzu, or Robin Hood. Apostle is the one who surpasses them, like King Artur, Merlin, Yeti, or Pegasus.
"According to your words, I believe Apostles are those who have learned about Orders and receive them.
"For those who have complete control of their Order and have their own territories, they're known as Lesser Deity.
"Now that I think about it, there were many local Gods. They're considered Gods and Goddesses, but their way of living is similar to that of a normal human. They're not omnipotent, and their territories are mostly a tribe or a city. I can only think this way after learning about Covenant Seal.
"Last but not least, Supreme Gods. I believe they've reached Authority Level and learned the truth of the world." Theo looked at the dragon and realized he should have known whether it was possible or not to reincarnate. But because of some restrictions, he couldn't answer him.
That was also the reason why the Griffith Family's ancestor said it in a roundabout way.
"I see. That's a foolish question, I guess." Theo sighed.
"Thank you for your understanding." The dragon smiled at Theo's intelligence. He never had the need to explain too much.
But to Theo's surprise, someone answered him.
[You can't reincarnate. But that doesn't mean your life is extinguished. Why do you think there are people who bless you?]
"!!!" Theo widened his eyes as his body trembled when he heard the answer. The God of Mischief was obviously the one who said it.
'Instead of reincarnating, your life goes to a place where you can watch over people?'
[Yes. The more powerful you're, the more privilege you get. Just don't tell anyone about this or the world will send its mighty force to destroy the remnant of my soul.]
'I see. In that case, the reason why the Griffith Family's ancestor told them that he'll come after seven generations…' Theo's expression turned grim.
[With those words, the family will strive to become better, so the ancestor can get the best vessel to receive his power.]
'Are you sure it's alright for me to learn this?'
[The only reason I told you this is because that old fart dared to fight me.]
'Hmm? You fought before?'
[For the right to bless you with our power. And it's better to get mine since you can get something from three other people. As for him, I sent a few others to suppress him. Hmph, he's not at my level yet.]
Theo blinked a few times as he never thought the answer came in the weirdest way possible. He thought he needed another few years to learn the truth, not because the God of Mischief felt sour because the ancestor was interested in him.
'So, if you're not here for me, he will become my blessing…'
[Yes. Unfortunately, this is the extent I can tell you. You'll naturally learn it when you reach Authority Level, so I hope you can continue to strive to become as strong as possible.]
'Then why do you want me to cause mischief around the world? Won't it hinder my progress?'
[It's for a great reason, but I can't tell you yet.]
'Hmm… Okay. Can you tell me when you plan to reveal all this stuff?'
[Sure. It's a motivation for you anyway. When you get your Authority, I can tell you everything you want to ask.]
'I see.. I will do my best then.'
