Chapter 70 - Visit (2/2)

Gaea grinned at his seriousness- ”Oh my, how you make me envy her, anyway I'm here as a messenger of sorts for Yggdrasill, it wanted to let you know that it upgraded Sigyn's blessing because she left Asgard and that the changes are not harmful in any way, she will still be the same Sigyn.”

Theoric was happy to hear that even though he wasn't overly concerned, it was still good to hear,- ”That's good, thanks for telling me, so I guess the healing she got was from the upgrade?”

Gaea- ”Yes, and that's not all, she will also be more intuned with plants, and if she practices should be able to influence them and even control them in the future.”

Theoric glancing at the house where Sigyn was,- ”That should be good, anything that can help protect her when I'm not around will be most welcomed, I'll be sure to let her know.”

Turning back to Gaea,- ”So last time you also said that I was brought up to 80% body potential with room for growth, how come I don't feel like it's getting better anymore?”

Gaea walked closer and placed her hand on Theoric to better examine him.- ”Yes, I see... Yes that's right, you are at about 80% and still have room for your body to adapt and grow stronger, but your at what one would call a bottleneck I guess?”

She examined a bit more while thinking about it before releasing him,- ”So yeah, you need something external to help you progress further.”

Theoric frowned not liking the sound of that,- ”What do you mean? Can't you just help me?”

Gaea grinned- ”My dear Theoric, haven't we established already that I will no longer help you, how will you grow if you constantly have me holding your hand?”

Theoric snorted,- ”Sorry, but you'll find me different from the usual honor crazed, hard-working, heroes of Asgard, I don't care about how I get where I want, I just want to get there.”

Gaea lost her grin,- ”Is that so?”

Theoric didn't care that he said something unappealing to her, what would she know of being weak, she has always been strong.

Theoric moving on asked- ”So what exactly should I be looking for to help? What kind of external source?”

Gaea wasn't done with what he said earlier though,- ”You should be careful with your l.u.s.t for power, I've seen many go down, forever unable to get back up, I believe there is a human expression, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Theoric laughed- ”You give humans too much credit, what would they know, what it should actually say is that power reveals, and absolute power is absolutely revealing.”

Gaea thought about it and had to agree that was a better analogy,- ”Okay, I'll give you that, but I still won't help you, which mortal throughout time hasn't gone through hardsh.i.p.s before becoming an amazing hero.”

Theoric squinted his eyes at her,- ”Are you saying there are no heroic gods?”

Gaea coughed,- ”Forget it, I hope next time I see you, your strength will have improved.” she said before fading away.

Theoric chided her,- ”Tch, look at you running away.”
