I Can Read People's Comments

[Chapter 125 Comments]

[Xinhuan: Maybe we can get some Agatha point of view chapters please?]

…

Theo noticed the new comments, realizing that the chapter had changed. He said, "I wish the same as well because I'm curious how my wife is doing, but I don't think we will get one. Though, there is a possibility that the author will grant that wish during the trip. For example, when we're in an airplane or something. But now, the author will definitely write something about my improvement."

Theo knew that the moment he opened the box this chapter would be dedicated to it.

So, without hesitation, he grabbed both fruits and handed one to his daughter. "Let's go. We should be able to get our second authority with this fruit."

"Yes. This is the preparation for the trip." Mia nodded and looked around. Her gaze stopped at the sofa. It seemed that she was planning to absorb the fruit over there.

Meanwhile, Theo remained in his position. The floor was hard, but the distance was enough for him to watch over his daughter.

When he saw that his daughter was consuming the fruit, Theo also began taking a bite.

The moment the fruit entered his stomach, it caused his energy to start revolving all around his body.

The Toon Demon seemed to have noticed it as well.

"Heh?!" The Toon Demon smirked. He was about to help Theo with the assimilation, but all of a sudden, Arkhasians shone brightly. "Huh? This is not yours. And it won't be useful to you! Don't take what's mine!"

The Toon Demon rushed to Arkhasians' place in order to stop him, but surprisingly, the spirit didn't do anything. Instead, it was shining because it was showing its jealousy. It seemed that the spirit wanted the same thing, but it realized that it couldn't feel anything from it.

It turned out the Toon Demon had worried over nothing.

Ultimately, the Toon Demon returned to his place and began closing his eyes. The surge of energy allowed him to assimilate with Theo's body even further.

The cells, the veins, muscle, and even the blood—everything was being integrated and influenced by the demonic energy. The amount was only twenty percent of what Theo had, but it was spread all over the body.

This was the foundation that the people from the Demon Realm had; the reason they could utilize their power from all over their bodies. It wasn't that there was one original source that produced it. Instead, the demons scattered it.

"It seems that he has got a quite good item to boost the assimilation rate…" The Toon Demon smirked, still refining the surge of energy that came from the fruit.

21%

…

22%

23%…

The assimilation rate continued to rise. The Toon Demon chose to focus on refining all the energy first before giving him the second authority, Toon Territory.

Eventually, the Assimilation Rate reached as high as 28%. It surpassed Theo's initial speculation.

"Things are looking good. Just a bit more, he can access the Third Authority. Sadly, the energy that he uses to increase the assimilation rate on a daily basis is too low. If he continues at the normal rate, he might need another one or two months to reach 30%."

The Toon Demon sighed. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything outside. Unless Theo visited him, he had no chance to know what was going on, including Theo's plan.

But to his surprise, Theo actually appeared in front of him.

"!!!" The Toon Demon widened its eyes in shock. "Contractor."

Before Theo could say anything, Arkhasians flew straight at him as if trying to tell him that it missed him.

"It seems that I'm not far from the Third Authority."

"Indeed. If you have another item that can increase the assimilation rate, I believe that you can immediately reach that level." The Toon Demon acknowledged Theo's words. "I wonder what you're planning to do here, Contractor?"

"I'm here to ask for the Third Authority. What kind of ability is it?" Theo asked.

"That's…" The Toon Demon looked away as if he were hesitant to tell him.

At first glance, it looked like the Toon Demon was just acting so Theo initiated another deal. However, Theo didn't care about the deal. He simply stated, "Tell me about it. If it's good, I won't hesitate to increase the assimilation rate right away."

But it seemed Theo had made the wrong assumption. The Toon Demon said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, Contractor. However, we're still bound by a covenant and not allowed to share information unless the contractor is fighting for his dear life."

"Hmm?" Theo frowned. He remembered what happened when the Toon Demon offered him a helping hand. At the same time, it was because he asked for it due to the circumstances. So, he thought he should learn more about demons to take advantage of them. "What is this covenant?"

"The covenant is the restraint for the demons. I'm sure you are not aware of it, but we're bound to the world itself."

The moment the demon mentioned the world, he understood that the circumstances were similar to the spirits as well as his original power.

"So, that's how it is. Toon Demon, what was your original form?"

"!!!" The Toon Demon looked startled as though Theo could see through him. "I don't know what you are saying."

"There's no need to hide it. The demons… are they really graded?"

"…" The Toon Demon remained silent, but it seemed that Theo had figured out their true identities.

Theo couldn't help but dig a bit deeper into his memory. He might have a limited amount of knowledge, but he should be able to find out about the demon's history.

It was at that time that he found a piece of important information. "As expected, the demons didn't originally have a rank."

The Toon Demon turned grim. "If you want to know, I can tell you about it. How about making an agreement?"

"There's no need. I can guess the rest myself. The demons didn't have any rank originally. They were all equals. However, the more they received things from their contractor, the stronger they became. After hopping from one host to another, you have grown enough to reach a level where you can be classified as a Royal Grade Demon. Isn't that right?"

The Toon Demon was tongue-tied. However, that silence was enough to give Theo an answer.

"Still, there are a few things that I don't understand. If you can get stronger like that, why do you look like it's a secret? If I can deduce it, humans should be able to do it. Or don't tell me, you introduce yourself as a different demon every time? Is it related to the covenant?"

Theo squinted his eyes. His questions were sharp and hit right at the most important matter.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem that he could get more information. Instead of asking the demons, he might actually go back to his world and ask the world's will directly.

"Alright. I have gotten my answer. It's fine if you don't want to tell me about the Third Authority, but I'm going to say this: There will be a lot of opportunities if you wish to tell me about it."

Theo held Arkhasians for a few seconds before disappearing again.

He gradually opened his eyes, finding Mia hadn't finished assimilating with her demons.

There was one reason why Theo was so proactive earlier. When the Mythical Realm suddenly became much stronger, Theo knew that all ten worlds had just been built by the author to suit his narrative.

'Now that he had completed that narrative, the ten worlds turned into much more real and complex.' Theo muttered in his heart. He finally found the reason why the difficulty changed.

In other words, the trip wouldn't be so easy. In fact, he might have to go all out in order to protect all twelve students.

"Fine by me, Author. Seeing how you can change the narrative to suit your needs, you might be able to change the genre to something like a tragedy or something that will make this story much darker. But we'll see whether I or you succeed."

Theo's expression was solemn. He was ready. As long as he conducted in a certain way, the author had no choice but to follow that setting to avoid plot holes.

He felt the need to increase reader comments since it was what Theo needed to succeed.

And that was why Theo said, "The next chapter will be about Agata, my wife. How's that? If you make me lie, it's the same as breaking my power."

Theo knew that he might be able to do this once because the author might find another way to seal that power. Theo had rules that bound him in order to exercise his power, and one of those rules was to never lie.

Of course, he understood the difference between not lying and disclosing all information. But he had to confirm that this type of attack could affect the author directly even if he couldn't use it again because it would make the story repetitive or boring.

If he could do this, there were bound to be more ways to strike at the author.

After he was done with his attack, Theo took a deep breath and chose to turn his focus to his daughter.

While waiting for Mia to wake up, Theo observed the flow of her energy. Mia had told him about the Prank Demon.

Just from the First Authority alone, the Prank Demon could actually become anything. This was another reason for his suspicion.

It took Mia another ten minutes to finally finish. She found Theo waiting in front of her.

"How is it?" Theo asked.

"I have gotten the second authority, but I won't tell you now. After all, you can't know my trump card since I might use it on you so that I can get on a mission or something!" Mia stuck her tongue out as if she realized her mistake in telling Theo about her first authority.

"Hahaha. That's fine." Theo chuckled. He brought the butterfly hairpin as well as the necklace. "These are for you. The hairpin can allow you to create pollen that will last for a week and you already know about the necklace."

"A pollen that can last for a week? How are you even supposed to use it? Is it releasing a kind of smell or visual effect so that we can trace it back? If that's the case, it will be useful to create a trail so that someone can follow it."

"If you activate its ability, you will know how to utilize it." Theo smiled.

"Alright. I will take it." Mia nodded before handing it back to Theo. "How about putting it on me, Dad?"

"Sure, sure."

While helping Mia put on the hairpin, Theo said, "I'm testing something. If it works, we might be able to know your mom's condition. I hope that the readers are kind enough to tell us about it."

"Really?" Mia's eyes brightened.

"Yeah. But we will have to wait a bit. I'm pretty sure that the switch will come during our travels."

"I can't wait. But considering we have to wait for a few more months before being able to reunite, I guess I can be more patient." Mia couldn't contain her smile. It seemed that knowing how her mother was doing excited her so much.

"By the way, there are a few things I want to tell you. It's about the trip. I know that it's going to be a hard trip and my power alone might not be enough to take care of all of you. That's why I want you to do these few things for me. I don't know what kind of enemy the author is going to create, but I know that he will censor the words I'm going to tell you right now."

Theo moved closer to her ears and started whispering a few instructions.
