God of Tricksters Chapter 784 – Doubt

Chapter 784 - Doubt

While they were searching around, Theo was using his Telekinesis to look around, trying to push all the tiles while hoping something clicked.
This made him vulnerable, so he was walking behind Agata and Maya.
Only an hour after they began their search, Maya had already informed them about her ranking up. "Well, my EXP will be full of less than ten monsters."
"Got it. We'll have some rest after ten monsters." Agata acknowledged her condition.
"How about you?" Theo looked at Agata.
"Gonna be another two to three days with this pace."
"In that case, let's focus on Maya first. The faster she becomes a Supreme Rank Expert, the better." Theo nodded before glancing at Ava. "Anyway, do you find anything, Ava?"
"I can hear the wind blowing, but I don't know where it comes from. The sound is echoing in this small tunnel, so I can't pinpoint its location." Ava shook her head in disappointment.
"That's enough. The entrance is indeed on the 30th floor. All we need to do is to walk around."
After that, the group continued onward until they eventually reached one point where Maya needed to sit down to answer the call of the one who gave her the blessing.
When Maya sat down, she went inside her consciousness and entered a white room with multiple practice targets standing a bit farther from her.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Multiple gunshots resounded across the entire place, and all of them hit either the chest or the head. It was the work of a middle-aged man.
He had short black hair and sharp black eyes. When their eyes intertwined, Maya could feel goosebumps as if she just got shot.
"It's been a while, child." The middle-aged man nodded with a calm expression.
"Yes."
"I call you here for one purpose." The middle-aged man let out a long sigh. "It's time for me to go. From this point on, I don't have anything to teach you."
"…" Maya didn't say a single thing. She was already aware that this was going to happen sooner or later. She still remembered the blessing she received was just a B Grade Blessing.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can help you more than this." The middle-aged man looked down. He himself was sad that his power wasn't enough.
"It's fine. Your power has played a big part in improving my talent. If not because of you, I won't be able to compete with others. That's why from this point on, I'll pave my own way." She looked at him with a serious expression. "Please don't worry about me. I'll be fine, and thank you very much for guiding me this whole time."
"Although it's true that I can't help you more than this…" The middle-aged man waved his hand and created a chair for him to sit. He sat down and leaned back while moving his wooden rocking chair. "I think I can give you one last lesson."
Maya nodded and listened to him attentively.
"Do you know why I can't help you after this?"
Maya fell silent. Although she wanted to say because he was a B Rank Blessing, it was impossible for her to say something like that. After all, his real question was more profound than it appeared.
"I have heard about your classifications. There are seven, right? How about you recite it for me?"
Maya hesitated for a moment. "Normal, Elite, Champion, Hero, Supreme, Mythical, and God."
The man smiled and looked to the ceiling. "Champion, Hero, Supreme, and Mythical."
He only mentioned four rankings. "Champion is for those who have attained the peak of human power. In your classifications, they're the best of the athletes. Only some of them can actually surpass their limit. That's what the Hero Rank is…
"To be honest, I'm supposed to be at this level. After all, when you reach the next rank, you're a kind of God's Apostle. You can perform various miracles and other stuff. That's not what I can do.
"Let alone, Mythical Rank which is known to be some sort of saint like the closest person to God.
"I'm here to teach you about the difference in rank and what you can do to surpass it. Right before I died, I remembered performing one miracle." He smiled. "And this one miracle was the one that helped me achieve this rank."
"…" Maya widened her eyes but started doubting what he was going to say.
"This miracle was known as Order. At that time, I questioned myself. Why, despite their supreme power, did the Gods and Goddesses live like that of a human…" The man smiled when he asked that question.
"…" Maya's body trembled as she finally opened her mouth. "You're not talking that Gods and Goddesses were actually humans, right?"
"That's my speculation. However, I haven't gotten the answer yet." The man shook his head in disappointment. "Do you want to hear my speculation?"
Maya thought for a moment and eventually nodded her head.
"I do believe they were humans. But there was a connection between them and this very planet, allowing them to perform various miracles."
"A connection?" Maya widened her eyes.
"Yes. If the planet wants you to be in charge of the plantation, it will give you the power."
Maya gulped down and asked, "What do you mean by giving you the power?"
"That's the thing I want to tell you." He smiled. "To connect something, you need a bridge to transfer the power from this very planet to your body. And that bridge is what we called Order."
"Order… I believe I've heard of this term multiple times."
"Yeah. Though, even I can't say I have understood what the Order is." He shook his head. "So, there's a chance that what I know is actually wrong. Still, do you want to know about it?"
Maya thought for a moment and ultimately nodded. "Yes."
"Unfortunately, I don't know how to attain Order." He sighed. "I just did the thing I loved until I died, and one day, not long before I died, I could feel the connection."
"…" Maya frowned. "So, I need to be near death first?"
"Of course not. No one could be called Gods and Goddesses if that was the case, right? What I want you to know is… the secret to becoming peerless is the Order. As for what it is, I'm sure that some people on Earth have known about this. You better ask them instead of me because they can provide a better answer than me. Remember, Order." The man smiled. "I hope that you can achieve this. Sorry that I can't help you more."
Before Maya could say anything, the middle-aged man had sent her back to the real world.
