Chapter 1390: The Thing
"...There’s a difference between the Eye of Truth... and the Law of Truth? I... I’ve been using my power wrong this entire time?!"
Robin clutched his head in both hands, his breath shallow, his thoughts racing—his very foundation trembling. His mind spiraled through every moment of his journey, every breakthrough, every battle. Had it all been... misguided?
"As for your first question," the blind old man said with a deep sigh, his voice weathered by time, "That confusion is only natural."
He paused, then continued with calm certainty.
"The Eye of Truth is a gift—a divine reward for those who persist, for those who dig deep into reality’s fabric. It’s like the Law of Causality, which sometimes places fortune in the path of those who act with innovation. But while causality lends aid through chance, the Eye of Truth is different—it is a long-term blessing. A rare treasure with immeasurable worth. The Eye of Truth is a fragment of the Law, yes... but it is not the Law in its entirety."
Then, unexpectedly, he chuckled—a quiet, almost mocking sound.
"And as for your second question—about your supposed misuse of the Law—well, that brings us back to what I told you before. The Law of Truth is utterly useless to anyone who does not comprehend it. No, my dear disciple... you didn’t wield it incorrectly— you simply never wielded it at all."
"That’s absurd! How can it be useless?!"
Robin’s voice burst out like thunder, eyes blazing with fury and disbelief.
"It’s a Master Law, damn it! Just like Balance, or Causality, or Identity!"
"Then prove it."
The old man’s voice was sharp, cutting through Robin’s outrage like a blade.
