God of Tricksters

"Ah!" Theo remembered all the pain he had endured whenever he used his ability. Now that he thought about it, he later didn't feel anything when he used these eyes anymore. It turned out he had awakened it completely. And that was when the world gave him the complete version of the eyes.

He never expected that everything that happened at first had such a meaning. It completely shattered his past expectations.

"…" Theo looked down for a moment and asked, "You say it's an organ…"

"Basically, any body parts." Hel shrugged. "Your wife should have awakened it sooner than you… That's why she can even become that beautiful."

"Doesn't that mean she was chosen due to that innate ability?"

"Should be."

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose. There was a lot of information to take in. "I see. It seems that the power system of this world has been designed in detail. I thought it was just a mystical power… it seems that there are a lot of things we don't know."

"I don't care about your lack of knowledge, but yes, everything has a reason behind it. Whether you look into it or not is a different matter."

"Is there any reason for…" Theo suddenly stopped, hesitating to ask the last question. He wanted to ask about the Five Aspects, but he didn't want to rely on others a lot.

He had been living while trying to get everything by himself. So, he didn't want to get too reliant on Hel.

However, it seemed Hel had been planning to explain it this whole time as she raised three fingers. "That's the third thing I want to discuss. Five Aspects. That's basically the extension of your innate ability and potential.

"I'm sure you've realized by now how you can master both Control and Awareness better than the other three aspects, right?"

"Yes." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "Though, I don't understand how Control is related to my potential."

"I'm pretty sure it's related to your birth. But since I'm not aware of it, you should ask him about that secret. As for your Awareness, it's related to your eyes. I don't have to explain about the rest."

"I see… So, that's why most people are able to master one aspect. They're more comfortable because of their innate ability. Whether they have awakened their innate ability or not is a different case." Theo nodded in understanding.

"That's basically the case. I guess you know now how to differentiate things. That's all I can say regarding the truth about this world. If you wish to know more about it, you should ask him."

Theo scratched his head, not knowing how to reach the God of Mischief. But Hel had told him he should go to a certain place to learn more about the other side. So, he was planning to go there after this.

After the discussion, Theo just sat there for a whole hour, sorting all his thoughts. And that was when a question was born.

"That's right. There is something I'm not sure about. Since you're talking about growth, I'm assuming that we only get five points per level because that's how much Magic Power our body can handle at a time.

"On the other hand, you didn't have a system like this in the past. So, your power system should be similar to the monsters. If that's the case, doesn't that mean you can still get stronger right now?"

"Yes."

"Is it possible to—"

Before Theo finished his words, Hel shook her head. "No. It's not possible. Even in the past, there weren't many people who reached that level. As for those who reached it, they were strong beyond belief."

"I guess so…" Theo smiled. "I'm just afraid that I can't do it."

"Afraid? That's not like you. If you're someone who is easily afraid of something, you won't be here in front of me." Hel shook her head helplessly. "Though, I could say that the system has given you an easier method to reach this rank. It's just… the path will be arduous even for you."

"I know." Theo sighed.

"That's all I can tell you. Since I'm done, you should go now. You are in a hurry, right?"

"That's… true." Theo nodded. Although he felt bad just leaving her after getting what he wanted, he truly didn't have time to waste.

He politely bowed to Hel. "Still, thank you for telling me so many things. Thanks to you, I can finally understand the roots of my current power system."

Hel nodded and waved her hand, sending her off. "Don't meet me anymore after this. The next time we meet will be on the battlefield."

"I understand." Theo understood her meaning. It seemed she was preparing herself for the final battle. In that case, he shouldn't bother her and focus on the preparation too.

He took a deep breath. After taking another look at Hel, he finally left the temple.

His next trip wouldn't be that far compared to the trip to his previous base. So, Theo hurriedly flew away, heading straight to a particular country.

This country had been half-destroyed in the past by a weird accident. And that weird accident was actually the one helping him to understand the apocalypse.

It was also where he finally met his loved one after so long on another land.

Yes, the identity of that country was none other than Argelia. The country that once had their sky cracked and their teleportation circle destroyed. That incident caused the two realms to merge for the first time.

However, there was one missing link that Theo got from Hel when she pointed at this place. Although the bridge, AKA the teleportation circle, was destroyed, there was still another membrane between the two realms. If they collapsed, that membrane would pop out as well, causing another change in the world.

Yet, it didn't.

That membrane was the void where Ancient Beings like heroes, mythical beasts, and Gods lived after their deaths.

What Theo was seeking in this land was that void.
