BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1850 Selfishness
"It didn't say anything about me." Theo narrowed his eyes.
"Of course. It would be easy to find a world's savior, but finding this type of guy is hard. I can say that people are selfish and you might think they're easy to find.
"But there is a different level of selfishness. People are selfish, but they don't have the power to be selfish. They end up fooling themselves, causing them not to save the planet.
"Even if they have the strength, they might not have the determination, resolve, potential, and even talent. There are too many things lacking. And someone with your talent is hard to find… considering most of them will come from a big family.
"It's hard to bring those people to do their job because their family will interfere. Meanwhile, your family is different. It's true that your family is planning to take advantage of you, but your parents will be doing their best to hide your talent.
"And with your hatred toward your parents and the Griffith Family, it's easy to make you turn this way. You won't be affected by your family and your path will be yours alone.
"That's the reason why I have chosen you. Of course, a part of your childhood was caused by me." Loki lowered his head. "And I apologize for that. Sorry."
Theo clenched his fists. The more he tried to find the truth, it felt like the more he couldn't unravel everything.
After knowing about the matter of his birth, he somehow wondered what kind of secret remained unknown.
Theo looked at Loki with a grim expression. "So, is there anything you plan to tell me?"
"No. I don't have anything to tell you because I have told you everything… As for what you'll do after this, it's entirely up to you." Loki shook his head helplessly.
On the one hand, it looked like Loki still manipulated him. On the other hand, Theo knew that Loki was trying to manipulate him. After all, this was actually Loki's test to prepare him against the higher being.
Loki knew everything about Theo and had been using his power to make everything go according to his plan.
Meanwhile, the higher being knew Loki's knowledge and action and used their power to not only force them to act in a certain way. There was a different level of control.
If Theo couldn't escape from his control, there was no way he could go against the higher being.
Theo wondered how Loki could bring a lot of people together, especially when those people were from different mythologies.
"Hmm, how did you even meet those people to the point you could create this world?"
"That…" Loki chuckled and raised a finger. "I often went out. There should be a record of me leaving a couple of times, no? I'm curious and traveling around the world, finding new places and people.
"That's why I could find all of them." Loki gave a thumbs up as if he had done a great job.
"Ah, like how you gave birth to—Mpfh!" Theo couldn't complete his words because Loki had covered his mouth with his hand. He was glaring at him.
It seemed like the legend was true that Loki forbade Odin to talk about the origin of Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse.
"Don't say anything unnecessary!" Loki gritted his teeth.
Theo smiled for the first time after the shock. It felt like he had gotten him back for once.
"Well…" Theo glanced at Lydia and Lyrventh and made a small smile as if he was embarrassed for showing such a side. "Sorry that you have to witness it."
"N-no." Lydia hurriedly answered it. She could understand Theo's worry and sadness. She just couldn't help him even though Theo had been helping them.
Theo said, "It seems that we have to part ways here. You two should go with him to a safer place. It is my former base, so I know what kind of facility you have.
"You should focus on getting stronger, especially you, Lyrventh. You should learn the ability to look at the environment around you.
"You might not be able to get eyes that can allow you to do it directly, but that should be enough for the solution."
"I know." Lyrventh nodded with a serious expression. There was no way he could get eyes in this situation. And if he went to the base, he would be considered a monster by them. So, the best shot would be accepting his circumstances and learning this ability.
In the future, he could choose whether he wanted to get eyes or not. Of course, Theo could offer him Aisha's help since she could regenerate a severed limb. But he didn't know whether she could do a full regeneration like this or not. So, Theo didn't want to give him false hope.
Lyrventh lowered his head. Even though their meeting was brief, it didn't change the fact that Theo had given him a lot of hope. He even thought about Lydia, whose worth should be lower than his.
Seeing Lyrventh showing such gratitude, Lydia also did the same. She lowered her head, thanking Theo for everything he had done.
"We're eternally grateful since thanks to you, we can still continue living."
Theo smiled. As expected, Lydia saw the world in a positive way. Still, he had to warn her, "However, you have to remember that you're the only one who can grasp your future."
"I know." Lydia nodded. "I won't give up no matter how hard the situation is."
"That's great." Theo patted her head before turning to Lyrventh. "I think I don't need to tell you. But you should protect her with your power. I know that both of you rely on each other to survive. And that's how you can even meet me.
"But if possible, instead of relying on each other to survive, I want both of you to support each other for a better future. Understood?"
"Yes!" Lydia and Lyrventh answered without hesitation.
