Chapter 1822: Innate Ability

Hel raised one finger. "The answer is actually quite simple. It's the same reason why we have more status points than you right now. I'm pretty sure you are aware of the difference between our points, right?"

"Yes." Theo nodded immediately. He also knew the reason, but he couldn't put it into words. So, he let Hel explain it.

"If you continuously spend all your time in this modern world, it won't be weird if you don't get any extra points. But to increase your level, you have to go to the other side, getting exposed to their Magic Power.

"Your body will naturally absorb that Magic Power, but because your body has always been exposed to the modern world's energy, it makes your body repel it.

"Hence, when you rank up, that's where the Magic Power enters your body. Basically, your body has reached a certain threshold, so it opens a bit more reserve, allowing you to get more Magic Power."

Theo narrowed his eyes, noticing something off. "But the amount of attribute points should be related to the blessing, right?"

"Nope!" Hel shook her head. "That number reflects the amount of Magic Power that can enter your body. And that also reflects the potential of your body, basically, your talent.

"Powerful heroes, mythical beasts, or even Gods... Do you think they have the same amount of power?"

"Ah!" Theo understood in that instant. "The blessing is a means to expose the human to God's Magic Power. So, basically, if their body can't even handle it, there's no way they will be blessed by God even if the other party is the one who wants it."

"Yes. That's why those selections are not random. Of course, if there are multiple people qualified to wield their power, only one will be selected."

"Then, how do you explain the levels?"

"I told you earlier. Your body will naturally absorb Magic Power. When you're dead, your body will release it and your body can start to decompose."

"So, when the monsters die, the Magic Power their bodies release will be absorbed by us. And the system is just there to make it simpler?"

"That's the simplest explanation. Yes, essentially." Hel nodded, confirming his doubt.

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose. His knowledge was shattered.

"I see. That's why the ranks the system has and the ones the monsters know are different. The system is the simplified version while the monsters know the original version." Theo muttered in a low voice. "There is something I wonder... Since the two realms have merged, what will happen to the next generation?"

"That should be your task to find out, but I'll give you some answers. Your talent and growth will be upgraded, but you have lost the ability to level up. That's what will happen from now on.

"Now, I wonder who your child will take after..." Hel smirked. "If it's your gene that is dominant later, your child will basically have a talent similar to yours, probably getting toned down a bit because it's diluted with your wife's potential. But if it's your wife..."

"Well, I don't care about that. I'll just support my child and teach them about everything. The rest will be up to them. Even if they don't want to get stronger, it's fine." Theo chuckled. "If it's to protect them, I simply have to get strong enough to the point my reputation alone can protect them so that they will be safe even if I'm not with them."

Hel looked at Theo for a moment and shrugged. "Well, that sounds like you. Anyway, I'll move on to the second thing. I won't talk about that energy since you should get the answer from him. Instead, I'm going to talk about a different kind of talent. No, should I say... innate ability?"

"Innate ability?"

"Yes." Hel nodded as she pointed at her rotten skin. "Like this one."

"Hmm?" Theo frowned, not understanding anything about it.

"Try to use your power to touch it."

Theo was confused but still followed her instruction. He released a bit of his Magic Power to her rotten skin before he felt something different. "This is..."

Hel smiled. She knew Theo must have felt his Magic Power rot until they disappeared.

"This is an innate ability. It's basically an ability that you're able to possess. You have it too, though, I don't know if you're already aware of it or not."

"I have it too..." Theo looked down, falling into deep thought. He wondered which strength could be called an innate ability.

However, Hel explained, "It's an ability that everyone has, but not everyone can awaken it. And you have awakened it..."

Theo couldn't find the answer for a few minutes before he noticed two special things about him. The first one would be his brain, since it was the secret to why he could go this far. The other one would be his eyes. But this pair of eyes were granted by Loki, no, the world.

"No, wait... My eyes?!"

"Yes."

"..." Theo became confused. On the one hand, the God of Mischief stole it from the world at first. On the other hand, the world actually granted him the complete version after that. "Is it because I'm qualified to wield this power?"

"You are half correct. The innate ability is basically an enhanced version of your organ. In my case, it's my skin."

"I see. Don't tell me, the eyes I have after the blessing have been altered forcefully? Although I'm qualified, I might receive a different ability. So, before that happens, he forced these eyes on me?"

"Basically, yes. Though, I believe this is the best pair of eyes you can get, especially in this situation."

"Well, I won't deny it, but still..." Theo sighed. His past self wouldn't have realized it, so it was no wonder he would be forced to take that power. "Still, if you say everyone has it, how do you awaken it?"

"Just stimulate that organ continuously. In your case, by giving those eyes, you will use them again and again. And every time you use it, the more you stimulate its potential. You should feel the pain, right?"

"Ah."
