…

Theo went back to talk to Mia.

"Anyway, I’ll be leaving after this. There are some people I’d like to eliminate." Theo’s expression remained calm and collected, but his words were filled with anger and killing intent.

"I know." Mia nodded. She had expected this from him. That was also the reason why she told the bald guy that he was dead the moment he injured her.

Mia thought for a moment. "By the way, Dad. What do you know about my ability?"

Theo looked at her for a moment before raising his finger. "Remember, what is this story all about?"

"A story about you doing everything you can to find the author?"

"Not me. Us… I mean, the three of us."

"Mhmm?" Mia felt something hidden in that message and fell into deep thought. "Are you saying that my ability has something to do with our goal?"

"Most likely. That’s what I’d like to test." Theo nodded. "If my power is able to progress the story or even make a decision between a few potential plots, your power has the ability to change the story itself."

"Eh?" Mia looked surprised. "Am I that strong?"

She couldn’t believe that her ability actually held that kind of potential. She contemplated for a moment before asking, "Is it the first authority?"

"Both authorities can be used. And it’s only because you’re aware that this is a story instead of a real world that you can achieve it." Theo gave the reply in a roundabout way, but Mia’s eyes lit up when she heard it.

"May I test something, Dad?"

"Sure." Theo nodded. "If something is going on, I’ll stop you."

Mia closed her eyes before saying, "First Authority, Deception. I can’t read people’s comments."

Mia felt a reaction in her body, noticing a connection. However, it seemed that her energy wasn’t enough to do it.

Instead, she changed her words. "What chapter should I choose?"

"We should be at chapter 250 right now. The last comment I reply to should be the 246th’s chapter if I remember correctly. So, you can try it on the 247th, 248th, and 249th chapters."

Mia then changed her words. "I can’t read chapter 247’s comments."

The essence in her body felt like it was being sucked dry. More than 20% of her power was gone in an instant.

In exchange, a blue screen flashed before her eyes.

It was the chapter’s comments.

"This is…" Mia gasped. She shouldn’t possess this ability, but she had just proven her ability to change the story. She looked at her dad with a dumbfounded expression.

"You can reply to them." Theo smiled.

"Oh? So, the comments can indeed increase the difficulty. But after this, don’t you think I can change the difficulty myself? However, to influence the story, I will need a lot of essence. I don’t think I have enough essence to affect that much of the story…

"Well, yes? There will definitely be a lot of life-and-death situations from now on. Even my father is not dead, right? I guess I shouldn’t use the previous condition anymore, where I forbid the story to create a plot where I’m dying. Instead, I should change the plot a little bit to turn the situation around.

"I’ll ignore the third comment, I guess? I’m the ’child’ in that comment, right?" Mia pouted.

Theo then waved his hands. "Since it’s been proven, I will just show the rest of the comments while I’m here."

"You’re such a worrywart." Mia chuckled, knowing that her father just didn’t want her to push herself. "I’ll take up your offer then. Well… I don’t know what is powering the comments panel. But I think it’s going to be something we need to know, right?"

Mia glanced at her father as this question could only be answered by Theo.

"Indeed, for a different reason though." Theo raised a finger. "In the original world, I felt that all the power systems had been planned carefully. For example, in the power system of that world from level to status, all of them were like inside the game. But much later, I learned that it was the God of Mischief who created this new realm, and the gods and goddesses were there to strengthen them. They existed in the void, which ended up disappearing after the apocalypse.

"From the looks of it, the author always tried to set up some logic behind everything. This comment panel should be the same. It might be one of the keys to reaching your world after I decipher it."

Mia nodded in agreement. "I guess that answers the second comment as well. So, for the current chapter’s comments… Ehm, I just hope that father doesn’t create another apocalypse here. If that happens, ten worlds would be affected simultaneously. The number of death might even reach a hundred billion? Compared to the eleven billion of deaths in our original world.

"And the second chapter has been answered earlier. He is going now."

Mia fell silent for a moment and said, "Dad. If my power can truly affect the story, it seems that the amount of essence is going to be important.

"There are a lot of things that I want to test next. For example, what if I use the first authority while establishing a condition such as there’s no meteorite falling down or even nuclear missiles not blowing up this area?"

Theo shook his head. "In that scenario, I believe the consumption will depend on the aftereffects. For example, what will happen to the nuclear waste? The damage? How many deaths? And what will happen in the next ten years?"

"Ah!" Mia nodded in agreement. "Then, what about using the second authority to apply misdirection? Instead of me or the enemies as the targets, the readers shall be the targets. What kind of misdirection will the author pull off? Maybe a backstory or some behind-the-scenes stories.

"Or at least, I might get some information about the enemies, like their names or affiliations, through the slight change of the story. For example, the previous three guys… Did the author use their names? Or did the author use ’this guy’ or ’that guy?’ There are a lot of things I want to test."

"Is that so?" Theo smiled while patting his daughter’s head. "You’ll have a lot of chances in the future. But I’ll be going now."

"Un! I believe in you, Dad!"
