Chapter 2019 Embodiment

"Huh?" Rea tilted her head in confusion and raised her head. She answered innocently, "Nothing. There is only a blue sky and clouds.."

"Yeah. It's the cloud. Even when humans classify them, the cloud shape will be different every time it passes. An infinite possibility despite all of them being called the same.. a cloud. Don't you find it amusing?"

"An infinite possibility? Are you talking about the illusion? Creating an infinite illusion, but at the very basic, it's still an illusion.." Rea asked. She thought Theo was talking about his ability, but Theo actually shook his head, denying her words.

"It's not just me. It's about us, Rea."

"Teacher.." Rea frowned. She didn't feel moved even though the words felt romantic. Instead, she just became confused. "I don't understand. What do you mean by us? Are you saying it's infinite?"

"If it's not, then what is it?"

"Huh? My ability—"

Before she continued, Theo interjected her with a question. "In that case, I want to ask you.. What's the condition for your embodiment? Is it only the Divine Beast? And how about other Divine Beasts? Can you use them?"

"Yes. I need to have extensive knowledge about that Divine Beast so that I can use their power. Right now, five of them is already too much for me to handle." Rea shook her head helplessly.

"That's it. Extensive knowledge of the target of embodiment.." Theo smiled mysteriously.

"Huh?" Rea became even more confused as Theo's words became too much nonsense.

"That's why I asked you if it is necessary for the target of embodiment to be a Divine Beast.. Even the cloud can give you an infinite shape and combination.." Theo pointed at himself. "If you are confused, just look at me. I'm your teacher and I shall guide you. Even if I'm not there for you, you just have to keep chasing after me. After all, I'm the embodiment of that infinite possibility."

"!!!" The words from his mouth felt like lightning reverberating in one's ear. She felt like she understood something but couldn't put it into words.

And this time, it wasn't any different.

"That's right. I am Theodore Griffith's disciple." Rea's expression changed. "My embodiment.. is it truly a power to borrow the power of the Divine Beings? No, it's the power to become that very being.. It's not limited to Divine Beings.

"Teacher said that the cloud had an infinite possibility. In that case, his illusion and my embodiment are the same." historical

The flow of Rea's Magic Power suddenly changed. From the overbearing Magic Power from the dragon's form to a gentle but resilient. This kind of flow looked like Theo, who was always calm.

"How can I forget about this.. my teacher, Theodore Griffith, might not be the strongest person in the world. However, I can say this for sure.. He is truly the greatest person in the world.

"I have been following him, I have been listening to his lessons, I have been observing how he acts.. I have been.. observing him the most. I have all that knowledge about him."

Just for a second, Rea remembered her brother. "I felt jealous of my brother. He had all the talents and everything. I wanted to make my father proud as well. But deep down, I knew that I was not as talented as him. I kept trying but to no avail.

"I wanted to be like him. I wanted his talent. I wanted.. I wanted.." Rea knew it was something she could never have.. not until she followed Theo.

For the first time in her life, she realized that there was a person who had more desire to improve than her. For him, there was no such a thing as good enough. If something didn't work, he didn't hesitate to throw it away and found something new.

"That's right. If I'm doing the same thing every day, how do I know that I have exhausted everything to find a way to improve? There are infinite possibilities out there. What I find might not be the answer, but I can continue searching for a new answer.

"It's a treacherous path filled with the unknown. I might be engulfed by it, but.."

Rea remembered how Theo confidently said, "If you are confused, just look at me."

It felt like she could continue forward. She just had to look at him as he would become the beacon of light.

Theo was a man who never stopped improving. That was why as she continued on her path, Theo would move together with her. She had just to look at her and find all the possibilities in that infinite possibilities. As long as Theo was with her, she could do it.

She had been wrong this whole time. Her embodiment was not because of her fondness for animals or divine beasts. Instead, it was her desire to become like her brother.

However, that desire was lost after she met Theo. She forgot the very foundation of her embodiment.

She had observed both Theo and her brother this whole time. She.. had 'extensive' knowledge about them.

"Hahaha.. I have the greatest man in the world as my teacher, how could I forget about this.. He is a man who will continue searching for that infinite possibility. In that case, I, as his student, shall follow my teacher's lead. That's why Teacher.. Thank you. If I want to become the greatest student in the world, I don't need to aspire to be one. After all, I can turn into one myself.."

Rea released all her Magic Power to use her embodiment. This time, she didn't use any of the five divine beings in her repertoire.

Instead, the embodiment was a human.. It was the greatest human in the world.

"That's right. I just have to become a person that embodies that very person.. Teacher, I might overstep my bounds, but just for today.. Let me become the world's greatest."

Rea finally opened her mouth, muttering in a low voice.

"Embodiment.. Theodore Griffith."
