Chapter 1111 Reality vs Illusion
"Come with me. Paint me a world and I will turn that world into a reality, Jeffrey Watkins." Theo stated with a serious tone.
There was another reason why Theo used this power in front of everyone.
For Jeffrey, Theo believed he was the perfect person to help him in building his territory. As someone who possessed an Order, Theo could use his Covenant Seal to mark his territory, filling it with his power.
That was why Theo desired Jeffrey's painting ability as well as his power. He wanted Jeffrey to create a small world for his territory. That would be the base of the organization he was trying to create.
On the other hand, Theo managed to satisfy Isaac with this show. He already told Isaac that he would allow Isaac to observe him and research his power. In exchange, Isaac would give him the progress of his research.
This was Theo's way to progress his power. Sometimes, learning from others' perspectives would be useful, much less from Isaac, who gave him so much insight every time they discussed an important topic.
That was why Theo showed this power to him. He wanted Isaac to know that the person he served was not a random guy who acted confident. He was truly a guy who had the power to act like that.
Last but not least, Theo wished to reveal the power that helped his daughter. Felix never knew why Theo could treat his daughter. Showing this power was similar to telling Felix that he didn't choose the wrong person to serve. Even the Dark King wasn't against the idea of revealing this power to his closest people, breaking the final straw in Theo's heart.
All of them were shocked by this Golden Magic Power. No one was supposed to have this kind of Magic Power since they all knew the color of the normal Magic Power.
It meant Theo had another power that was different from the norm. And he was planning to use this power to soar to the sky.
Everyone had witnessed how good the power was when Theo defeated Winston. It was an impossible fight, yet Theo turned the situation around after using this power.
Unknowingly, tears started coming out of Jeffrey's eyes.
"Exquisite." Jeffrey subconsciously murmured as he also dropped to his knees. "I… I want to ask everyone to vacate this room."
His words broke the silence inside the room. But with how Jeffrey kneeled in front of Theo, it was clear what he was planning to do.
Felix knew that this person would be his next comrade. It seemed he had underestimated Theo this whole time. The person he had sworn to protect was far stronger than he originally thought.
He was aware of Theo's plan. And it seemed that plan would be completed sooner or later.
'I see. It seems that I didn't choose the wrong person.' Felix subconsciously smiled and turned around, finding the shocked Isaac. He seemed to be unable to wake up because of how big the revelation was.
Although Felix was also shaken by this phenomenon, he still had his priority straight. Even if his body was staggering, Felix still carried Isaac to leave the room as soon as he got a nod from Theo.
*Click!*
The door was shut, leaving only Theo and Jeffrey inside.
Jeffrey desperately turned page after page to find a certain drawing.
After a while, he finally found the drawing. It was just a simple metal sword. The sword had a golden handle and a long, thin blade.
There were two words to describe it: beautiful and elegant. This was the sword he drew a few decades ago. It only had a purpose.
Jeffrey ripped apart the page and used his illusion power to manifest the sword. However, because of his affinity, the sword had a soft and mushy feeling like holding a vine.
"This is a ceremonial sword… I drew it precisely 40 years, 11 months, and 12 days ago. I have told you that I love fairy tales. So, please use this sword like a knighthood ceremony. You can simply place it on my shoulder and say, 'I accept your oath.' That's all." Jeffrey presented the sword to Theo with both hands while lowering his head.
Theo grabbed the handle carefully as he enveloped this sword with his power.
Closing his eyes, Theo concentrated his power on his Order, trying hard to influence the sword. He wanted to make this sword a reality. From the shape to the material used… he desired the perfect sword.
'Wait a minute, material?' Theo was dumbfounded for a second before realizing the meaning behind the third stage, the Reality vs Illusion. 'Don't tell me…'
Theo used his Order to bring an element. It was metal.
'God of Mischief told me that the third stage of Illusion Order is the exact opposite of my Order. The Mind Elder had achieved this stage, and if I could say the Illusion vs Reality is supposed to be something that can create a perfect illusion because it's based on reality, just like how the Mind Elder created an illusion of my grandfather…
'In other words, what I need to do is the exact opposite. I am simply going to make the same thing a reality… Using the metal element to form a blade…' Theo poured his Order and created an iron ingot. 'Then change the shape of this iron to a blade…'
While he was thinking, the metal gradually changed its shape, following his instruction. Gold ingot soon appeared and formed a handle to suit the sword.
A smile appeared on Theo's face as he said inwardly, 'This is… my Reality vs Illusion.'
His Materialization always created a snake in such detail, so recreating the shape of the sword was an easy task for Theo.
After a whole five minutes, the sword was finally formed. This time, the sword had the firmness of iron.
Jeffrey was stunned, witnessing the process. Although he knew that the sword would disappear as soon as Theo retracted his Magic Power, it was still something beyond his imagination.
'Creation? No… This is a different power, but I know this is the power that can turn my dream into a reality…' Jeffrey saw Theo opening his eyes and immediately said, "I, Jeffrey Watkins, solemnly swear.
"I will use this power to follow Joker. If he wants a weapon, I shall draw it. If he wants a house, I will paint it. If he wants a world, I shall design it. Even if I need to use my life as an exchange, there won't be any hesitation from my heart."
After saying those words, he felt the sword on top of his shoulder. It was different from the soft sword that he had created earlier. It felt like a genuine sword.
Soon, Theo's words echoed, answering his oath.
"I accept your oath."
