Chapter 147 - 147: Is this some kind of new prank? (1/2)

Theo managed to forge another 75 spears, swords and Katanas in total. After that, he sat on the floor in the lotus position to stabilize and better understand his new state, especially trying to understand the ”Royal Lineage” and it's implications.

”Umm… what's going on?” Yuki woke up early that day. When she arrived at the Workshop to see how Theo was doing, she felt a strong urge to kneel before him.

It was as if she was close to her ”King” for whom she had the highest respect. She couldn't understand why she felt this compulsion.

Even though she fought this invisible force that was trying to make her kneel and 'worship' toward Theo, she eventually gave in a while later and knelt before Theo's presence.

”What is this golden aura? Why is this happening?” Yuki wondered, both confused and surprised.

Looking towards Theo, who was sitting in the lotus position. She could see a vortex above his head. A great deal of Mana was entering Theo's body through all of his pores. It was a majestic and divine scene, so compelling and awe-inspiring that Yuki didn't even blink as she looked gazed upon it.

She even forgot that she was kneeling on the floor because of Theo's new aura.

Theo, who was lost in his own contemplations, did not notice that Yuki had arrived at the Workshop. Moreover, he did not realize that she was kneeling and prostrating herself to him.

Sometime later, the other girls and the children from the orphanage woke up. And, as a routine, they went to the Workshop as well.

”Yuki… what are you doing?” Shina asked, amazed. The other girls were also about to ask the same question.

But as they got closer, they began to feel a strong desire to kneel before Theo. It was as if it was the most natural thing to do. So, everyone now found themselves kneeling inside the Workshop, looking toward Theo with the utmost devotion.

Only little Yui was standing beside them, staring at it without understanding what was going on. Maybe it was because she had a potent Dragon Lineage that she wasn't affected by it.

She looked at them in confusion, tilting her head to the side and wondering, ”Is this some kind of new prank?”

After trying to talk to some of them, she came to believe that it was a joke. So, she also knelt on the floor, looking towards Theo…

One hour later…

”Grrr… Yui is bored! This isn't any fun, let's play something else!” Even though she said that she received no response from any of them. Sighing, she approached Theo and shook him lightly as she said, ”Daddy, Daddy, come on, wake up, Yui is starting to get worried!”

”Wow! How beautiful!” Little Yui exclaimed loudly as Theo opened his eyes. At that moment, he was using his Divine Eyes. But unlike before, they kept morphing colours between neon red and gold. It was even more beautiful and ornate than before.

Theo, who just came out of his trance understanding his own Lineage better, was awakened by little Yui. The moment he opened his eyes, he felt that everything was moving in slow motion… no! Even though it seemed that time had stopped, it was so slow that it was a bit agonizing. He believed that if he used this for too long, he had a high chance of going crazy.

”Yui, why are you so restless and woke me? Has something happened?” Theo asked. But after seeing little Yui pointing her small, delicate hand toward Yuki and the others, Theo was surprised.

”Why are they looking at me like that? And why are they kneeling on the floor?” Theo wondered in confusion.

Theo got up and said, ”Rise.”
