Chapter 1421 Poker Chess
'…my reality.'
Theo had a small smile on his face as if he had just felt enlightened. He had recognized his own power.
Right before he was recognized by the world to wield the Reality Order, Theo once said, 'No one can tell whether the world you have been living in is an illusion or not. You only know and believe that this world is real. And you or even this planet might be just an illusion of mine. Even Order and Authority might just be the image planted in our minds. Seek the truth of this world…'
He couldn't finish the sentence back then because the world had recognized him and given him the Order at that time. But he could finally complete the answer.
Just like when he was in Helheim and challenged the test to revive his body, he declared to the world.
"I shall now become the one in control. Who cares if it's an illusion or not… This world is an illusion of mine? No! If I say this world is real, this world shall become real! If I say I'm Theodore Griffith, I shall be the real Theodore Griffith. From this point onward, I, Theodore Griffith, shall tell no lie because everything I said shall become a reality!"
He couldn't help but remember those two scenes. It was his declaration as well as the essence of his power.
'You think this is chess?' Theo smirked while looking at the Heavenly Sovereign, showing the symbols of cards. 'If you think this is a game of chess, then I'll deny it. After all, this shall become a game of poker.'
The Heavenly Sovereign couldn't help but make a big smirk, excited to see the growth of this man in the future. He was truly one of the people that could impress him, no, Theo might be the one to surpass that because his hands were covered in sweat as if he feared Theo's potential.
'In that case, can you keep up with me?' The Heavenly Sovereign asked inwardly, but his gaze, his movement, and his expression showed it all.
When he moved, the world turned around like how the game had been played. But every time Theo made his move, the chess pieces showed the symbols of cards. It amplified their effect depending on whether Theo opened the two pairs or a full house.
Their match created an apocalyptic effect in that domain. The stars and planets collided, dispersed, and shattered. Their explosions became bigger the better Theo opened his cards. This was a weird battle, but both of them seemed to be able to understand each other's intentions in this game.
Even the Sword Saint, who was driving the car, couldn't help but feel Theo's change.
'Well, this is a surprise even for me. To think that this brat evolves right in front of me… I can now understand why those people want him. If only I had known him first or Rea had participated in the Grand Gaia Competition, I would have given her to him. Albeit, it was too late.' The Sword Saint let out a long sigh, knowing that becoming his ally was the second greatest thing he could do to ensure a good future for his Nagasawa Family.
'Oh boy, Theodore Griffith is truly terrifying. The only one who can defeat him at the same level is probably himself, the Original Theodore Griffith. But then again, in terms of connection, Theo has a relationship with me and the Heavenly Sovereign. Depending on what China will do, the Heavenly Sovereign might pull out or something, but I shall wait and see the situation.' Nagasawa Ken smirked because he couldn't wait to see how the situation unfolded.
He kept driving while sparing a bit of his attention to keeping a close eye on those two. He wanted to see what kind of progress Theo would show him after this.
Meanwhile, the game still continued for a while. They were silent this whole time, but it looked like they were telling each other something.
In front of others, the game looked like a mess as if two amateurs were playing for the first time. But Theo and the Heavenly Sovereign were experiencing a galactic war that destroyed many planets and stars.
However, these two remained in their seats and played the game until one of them won.
Eventually, Theo placed his bishop diagonally to the Heavenly Sovereign's king and said, "Checkmate."
The Heavenly Sovereign closed his eyes for a moment and said, "It's indeed a checkmate. A quite big discussion we had there."
"Indeed. It's the first time for me to do it." Theo nodded in agreement. "Never in my wildest dreams can you talk to someone like this."
"Haha. How is it? No one will be able to see through our discussion, right?" The Heavenly Sovereign smirked.
"That's true, but it's a hassle when my illusion can do all the job." Theo sighed. "Though, I'm thankful for your guidance."
"Nah, I was just testing you. It was you who turned it into an opportunity." The Heavenly Sovereign. "With the current you, I guess I have more confidence to win. All I can say is that the Death Star has shone brightly, and a great change will be happening soon. I don't know when, what, how, and why it will happen. But I know who and where it will happen."
"I guess I know what, how, why, and where it will happen." Theo nodded in agreement.
"What are you two talking about? The Death Star?" The Sword Saint glanced back. These two were talking to each other with a secret message that made him worry. "Come on. I'm your ally, right? Do you mind telling me this stuff?"
"Nah, it's not your time to know about it." The Heavenly Sovereign shook his head.
"Come on, Theo." The Sword Saint turned to Theo since he seemed to know more.
"Rea will be the one to help you." Theo smiled, refusing to give him any explanation too.
"Oh, it seems that we are about to arrive." The Heavenly Sovereign immediately changed the topic.
"…" The Sword Saint was speechless because he felt left out.
