Chapter 1224 Acquired Reality Eyes

"Help!"

A young girl shouted while running away from six monsters.

Theo and his clone appeared and killed all the monsters while locking this reality. This way, the monsters had no way to change to another reality.

"Are you alright?" Theo asked after killing all the monsters.

Without hesitation, the young girl leaped to him and hugged him with a shaking body. She was too scared to even do anything.

But to Theo's surprise, the young girl started climbing his body.

"What?!" Theo widened his eyes as he prepared to push the little girl away, but the little girl rubbed his cheeks with hers. Coincidentally, their ears also touched each other.

It was then Theo stopped what he did. He realized that his hearing had been enhanced as he could clearly hear the situation in the other reality.

When he saved the survivor from the airplane's disaster, the human was rubbing his skin, amplifying his sense of touch.

Another woman almost kissed him because she made their foreheads touch each other. But when their noses touched each other, the woman stopped.

As for the last two, they were the young man and the old man he saved at first.

The young man turned out to have his own tongue cut as if it was sacrificed for him.

Meanwhile, the old man was blind. It was just his speculation, but it seemed all the people that he met in this place had lost one of their senses.

And that was what he needed. That lack of senses actually completed his own senses.

He had perfect sight, so he never experienced what it meant to have no sight. And the old man gave him that sensation to perfect Theo's sight.

The others did the same.

After saving all of them and reaching this conclusion, Theo finally understood the reason why the pope covered his eyes.

"Now that I think about it.. The only reason why the pope covers or closes his eyes most of the time.. It's to complete his own Awareness with that lack of sense." Theo sucked a cold breath. "Does that mean.."

Theo looked at his clone. The latter turned around, but somehow his action made Theo gasp.

"This is.." Theo widened his eyes. "When you're blind, you use smell, hearing, and touch to predict where the person in front of you wants to go. A deaf person sees the movement of the lips, the frequency that brushes their skin, and the smell of their breath to understand them.

"So, that's how it is.. This is what I'm lacking to evolve my Prediction Eyes to Future Eyes. It turns out those who have a disability have their other senses enhanced naturally. This will allow them to understand the people around them.

"That's why the pope is trying to make him blind by covering his eyes. And now, I've filled the last ingredient to upgrade my Prediction Eyes.. With my current Future Eyes, I can see something like one or two seconds into the future by predicting their movement. The accuracy and effect are beyond what Prediction Eyes can do.

"However, I still can't understand. Why do my eyes get enhanced like this? Who are those people to help me? Or.. Are they people from another reality? Is this the world preparing me to receive the Reality Eyes? Is it because my eyes are not powerful enough..

"Now that I think about it, the God of Mischief told me that when my body and soul are strong enough, he will teach me about Reality Eyes. So, the fact that I'm invited here is that my soul is enough to learn all this. It's just.. my body is not strong enough, and the world makes this trial to make my body, specifically my senses, strong enough to perceive other reality."

The moment he learned the truth, the notification appeared.

[Mission: Solve the trouble before your eyes.]historical

[Reward: Reality Eyes.]

".." Theo's body shuddered as he understood the reality a bit. "So, that's how it is.."

As if responding to Theo's words, the world finally spoke again. "Congratulations for perceiving your power."

"My power.. So, this power has truly become mine."

"Yes."

All the buildings, trees, or even corpses started crumbling down, returning to the empty darkness.

But before everything shattered into pieces, a small blue light appeared in front of Theo.

This palm-sized ball fell down to Theo's palms.

"This shall be your power from now on. Please use it wisely and keep protecting the balance of this world."

The blue light started to get peeled like an apple, releasing two thin white lines from above and below.

The one from the bottom part entered Theo's left eye while the other one entered the right eye.

"Argh!" Theo screamed in pain. This was a different pain than he'd ever imagined. With the help of his Death Avatar, he obviously had experienced his eyes getting gouged.

But the feeling was different from this. Despite wanting to close his eyes, the white lines were preventing it. In fact, they felt like a thin blade that if he closed his eyes, it would slice his eyelid.

The piercing sensation brought chills into his brain that somehow froze all his actions.

Theo could only scream while enduring this torture. The palm-sized ball in front of him gradually became smaller, so it should end sooner or later.

Unbeknownst to him, Theo's eyes had undergone a change. The white lines that entered Theo's eyes began to take their own spots.

A small white circle was gradually drawn in the center of Theo's blue eyes. Then, a vertical line stretched from the top of his eyeball to the bottom, splitting the circle perfectly in the middle. Last but not least, a horizontal line appeared at the same proportion as the vertical line.

Those two lines split two eyeballs into four areas with a circle half the size of the eyeball.

With the completion of all the lines, the blue light had depleted all its light and disappeared.

*Pant!*

*Pant!*

Theo fell to his knees, exhausted.

He saw another notification.

[Congratulations. You've acquired Reality Eyes.]

With that notification, everything had turned dark again. His consciousness became fuzzy as he felt the world trying to expel him from this place.

In the end, he closed his eyes and accepted his fate.
