Chapter 18

"Although we haven't seen each other for ten days, you seem to have changed."

Looking at Shien who was staring at her in a daze, the beautiful Goddess didn't know if she was praising him or teasing him.

Her melodious voice that seemed to be able to sing a song that would go down in history entered Shien's ears, leaving Shien speechless for a long time.

However, it was definitely not because Sean had fallen head over heels for the beautiful goddess in front of him and was unable to extricate himself.

Shien was speechless.

It couldn't be helped.

"… Why am I here again?"

Could it be that he had died again?

While Shien was thinking about it, the Goddess seemed to see through Shien's thoughts and smiled.

"Don't think too much. You didn't come here because you died." The Goddess said. "You can check yourself. This time, I summoned you here with a physical body."

After hearing the Goddess's words, Shien realized the truth.

Indeed, it was different from the last time he was summoned here. This time, Sean did not appear in the form of an incorporeal body. Instead, his feet were on the ground, unlike the last time when he was directly suspended in mid-air.

In other words …

"This time, I was summoned here alive?"

Shien looked at the Goddess before him.

"That's right." The Goddess nodded and said. "Seeing that you have finally left the forest of monsters and entered a human town, even becoming an adventurer and about to settle down in this world, I summoned you here to greet you."

What a willful motive. Shien really wanted to say that if she wanted him to enter a human town and officially settle down in another world, it would have been better if she didn't throw him into a forest full of monsters at the start.

Once again, the Goddess answered his question in exchange for his heartfelt words.

"If I didn't throw you into the forest at the start, you wouldn't have been able to level up and learn so many skills, right?" The Goddess said with a smile that didn't seem like a smile. "And if you don't personally experience how different you are from others, how can you discover how much more outstanding you are as a hero?"

This sentence made Shien's face fall.

In other words, in order to let me fully understand how different I am, the Goddess deliberately threw me into a forest full of monsters and not a human town, right?

Isn't she afraid that I'll be eaten by monsters?

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, the Goddess's answer came immediately.

"Of course not." The Goddess said confidently. "With the protection of the holy sword, you'll be fine even if you're thrown into the Demon Realm, not to mention a forest full of monsters that are only level 50."

Hearing this, Shien finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"Say, Goddess, don't tell me that you can't read my mind? Why do you know what I'm thinking? " Sean protested, "Also, don't say it as if everything has nothing to do with you. This is also caused by you, isn't it?"

Regardless of whether it was the holy sword or the various skills, weren't they all bestowed upon him by this goddess?

Just as Shien thought about this, the Goddess denied his statement.

Just as Sean was thinking about this, the Goddess denied his statement.

"That's not right. You're mistaken." The Goddess said: "Whether it's the Holy Sword or the skill, it's all yours. I'm just awakening them."

As soon as these words came out, Sean was stunned.

Shien couldn't react.

Seeing this, the Goddess explained.

"The so-called holy sword is actually a power born from the concept of 'hero'. It's a characteristic that only you otherworlders who are summoned from the Demon Realm have."

"The so-called Holy Sword is actually a power born from the concept of 'Hero'. It's a characteristic that only you otherworlders who are summoned from another world with the identity of a Hero would have."

The Goddess then explained in an extremely pleasant voice, as if she was singing.

If that wasn't the case, why would she need to summon heroes from other worlds in the first place? Just like how some people in the Omnippertansen can awaken their own unique skills, you heroes from other worlds also have your own unique skills, and you even have one more characteristic than the people in the Omnippertansen. Once you're summoned to this world as a hero, you can naturally awaken your own holy sword and unique skills. I'm just speeding up the process and directly awakening your holy sword and unique skills. "

If that wasn't the case, why would she need to summon heroes from other worlds?

If she could freely bestow the powerful holy sword and unique skills to others, the Goddess wouldn't need to specifically summon people from other worlds to defeat the Demon King. She could just choose heroes from her own world.

"At the end of the day, since I need to seek help from others as a god to defeat the Demon King, it proves that I can't defeat the Demon King, right?" "If I can simply bestow such a powerful holy sword and unique skill to others, I'll just defeat the Demon King myself. Why would I need the Hero?" The Goddess said straightforwardly.

The exceedingly reasonable argument left Shien speechless again.

But on second thought, it did make sense, didn't it?

"In your world, it seems that gods can't interfere with the direction of the world, so even if they see the Demon King wreaking havoc on the world, they can only watch and at most give humans help so that they can defeat the Demon King themselves, right?" The Goddess was amused. "Unfortunately, this isn't the world of myths and legends you know. Even if there are many similarities, this is still reality, and there will always be something different."

What's different?

"For example, in this world, the Protoss and the Demons are mortal enemies that have lasted for thousands of years and have been at war since a long, long time ago."

The Goddess said calmly.

"For us, the Demon King is our greatest enemy. If we could destroy them with our own strength, we would have done so a long time ago. There's no such thing as not interfering with the laws of the human world. Rather, it's better to say that the Divine Race often affects the human world, bringing a lot of interference to the human world."

Therefore, in this world, the gods were beliefs to the lives of the world, but they weren't illusory. They really existed.

"You already know about the blessing, right?" The Goddess pointed out. "The blessing is the most common interference of us Protoss on the lives of the world. You also have the blessing that I bestow upon you, and that is the only thing I truly bestow upon you."

Apart from the blessing being bestowed by the Goddess, everything else was Shien's own strength.

Whether it was the Holy Sword or the unique skills, those were destined to be possessed by Shien and had almost nothing to do with the Goddess in front of him.

In other words …

"Your abnormalities almost all come from yourself and have nothing to do with me. Using the words of your previous world, that is, don't simply put the blame on me."

The Goddess's words left Shien speechless.

Looking at Shien like this, the Goddess smiled.

"Since there's still some time, let's talk about this world."

With that, the Goddess waved her hand and summoned a tea table and tea.
