“What the fuck?!” Theo’s expression instantly changed. On the one hand, there was no way he could easily believe what Loki was saying. On the other hand, Loki wasn’t someone who did something meaningless. So, there was a big chance he would tell him the truth.

If that was the case, he didn’t know what kind of revelation this was. It was simply too big for him to swallow.

“Are you kidding me?” Theo asked while gritting his teeth.

“Do you remember your family matter?” Loki shook his head helplessly. Because of the importance of this matter, he didn’t make any playful expression to make him look less serious.

“Yeah. I do remember. If you’re going to say I’m a twin, then are you talking about my brother who has died due to the Griffith Family?” Theo asked for confirmation. Though, his mother never got pregnant again.

Loki nodded. “It starts from the revelation about the prophecy. After seven generations, they will have a perfect body to host your so-called ancestor.”

“But it was intercepted by you…” Theo suddenly stopped, feeling something was wrong. Some points started to click with each other, but there were still a few missing links to understand the entire situation.

“Yes. I intercepted it. However, that prediction was not wrong. After all, it was made by the Destiny Saint in the past. In other words, your ancestor truly predicted the upcoming generations.

“However, there was something that the Destiny Saint couldn’t see at that time. It was none other than the fact that your mother would give birth to twins.” Loki’s expression raised two fingers. “That’s exactly the reason why I can get a hold of you.”

“What do you mean?” Theo was still confused.

Loki paused for a moment, recounting the matter back then. “I made a deal with a certain God of Time. Well, it was more like a request.”

“!!!” Theo suddenly remembered the time when he met his big brother in Niflheim. He told him he got some help from the God of Time. However, he didn’t expect the whole situation to be like this.

“Yeah. I made a deal with him and your brother, telling them about the incoming peril. No matter how the God of Time tried to solve the situation or how your parents dealt with it, the moment they knew you were twins, your life was over.

“You should know what they will do if they know you’re twins, right?”

Theo couldn’t rebuke him. He certainly knew what the Griffith Family planned to do if he and his brother were born at the same time.

The first possibility would be both of them died due to the Illusion Elder. The second possibility was both of them were seized by the Illusion Elder and didn’t let their parents meet them in their entire life. It would be a series of brainwashing.

One genius alone was enough for the Griffith Family to become unparalleled. Two geniuses meant they would be able to conquer the whole world.

That was why living a normal life wasn’t possible for both of them.

Loki nodded. “That was the reason why I made a deal with them. I wanted the Time God to grant its power to the young kid to save you.

“Unfortunately, that power was too big for a baby who had yet to be born. In the end, your brother made a sacrifice and used his life to generate enough power for the Time God to stop your growth.

“In other words, the reason why your brother died wasn’t due to brainwashing or your mother’s trauma. Instead, it was to protect his younger brother.”

“!!!” Theo was shaken. He always thought that his brother had been murdered by the Griffith Family.

However, the true murderer was actually him. If he wasn’t alive, his brother wouldn’t have sacrificed himself.

He couldn’t help but imagine the conversation between the two.

Considering the other was the God of Time whose strength was unparalleled. It was possible for him to accelerate his brother’s growth to the point where he could talk to him.

After getting that agreement, he finally utilized his strength to rewind time while stopping Theo’s time.

This way, his brother was the only one spotted by him while he was still safe in his mother’s womb.

Time stopped until the situation was calm enough. That was when Theo’s seal was broken, allowing him to finally come out.

In other words, it wasn’t that his mother couldn’t get pregnant due to the trauma. Instead, she couldn’t get pregnant because he was still in her womb.

Still, there was something off, such as his mother’s period. But his focus was on something else.

He remembered the time he met his brother in Niflheim. At that time, his brother was already so old even though the coldness of the Niflheim should have frozen him.

In other words, it was actually the real form of his brother that had matured due to the God of Time’s power. He was frozen in that state this entire time, waiting for him to finally meet the brother he had saved.

He was never angry with Ray and Valerie simply because he was aware that his death was due to the deal instead of his parents.

It seemed he couldn’t reveal anything at that time. In fact, Loki seemed to reveal this information because of the higher being’s interference.

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose, never thinking the situation was actually like this. He was speechless.

“This is the truth. You’re actually a twin, but your brother has sacrificed his life for you. Not only to use the power to hold back your growth but also to become the Griffith Family’s target.”

Theo formed a chair with his power while looking down as if trying to sort out his thoughts. The truth was actually far different from what he knew this whole time.

“Ugh. Give me some time to process this.” Theo waved his hand while clutching his head.
