It was said that when the world was just born, there were only two races in the Omnippertansen.
One was the Protoss.
The other was the Demons.
The Protoss and the Demons appeared in this world almost at the same time. They were like natural enemies and had always been fighting each other.
Unlike the Demons who were born with great strength, although the Protoss also had all kinds of strength, compared to the Demons, the Protoss were not a race that was born to fight.
The Gods could do many things. They could create the earth and life, but in terms of fighting strength, they were slightly inferior compared to the Demons who were born to destroy and destroy.
Moreover, there was a limit to the number of the Gods.
Generally speaking, the Gods had their own duties. Some were in charge of life, some were in charge of nature, and some were in charge of fate. There were also duties such as health, harvest, wisdom, culture, and so on. However, there were only so many duties. Naturally, it was impossible for there to be so many Gods, and it was even more impossible for there to be too many Gods in charge of the same duties. Therefore, the number of Gods was fixed from the beginning. Only when a God died could a new God be born.
Because of this, the number of Gods was very limited.
On the other hand, the Demons did not have such restrictions. After a long period of accumulation, their numbers became larger and the race became more and more prosperous. In the end, they even completely overwhelmed the Protoss.
In order to fight against such Demons, the Protoss began to create other races, such as humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, and so on. They gave them guidance and allowed them to grow. Finally, they were able to resist the Demons.
However, the Demons were not to be outdone. Not only did they create magic, but they also created monsters.
Yes.
Whether it was magic or monsters, they were all created by the Demons.
That was why they were called "Demons." Even the term "magic" came from the Demons. Thus, it could be seen that the Demons were indeed more outstanding than the Protoss in terms of strength.
However, putting magic aside, as for monsters, although they were created by the Demons, Demons were not as omnipotent as the Protoss. As a result, the intelligence of the created monsters was quite low. Even the Demons, who were the creators, could not control the ferocious monsters sometimes. As a result, although the monsters gradually multiplied and eventually spread to every corner of the world, without being tamed, they would still attack even the Demons.
Thanks to this, even with magic and the creation of monsters, the Demons could not directly overwhelm the Protoss. In addition, the Protoss had also created magic systems such as Holy Magic and Auxiliary Magic. In the end, the two sides could not do anything to each other.
"However, in general, compared to the Protoss, the Demons are still stronger. Demons are more powerful than the Protoss.
Sitting in front of the tea table that she had just summoned, the Goddess sipped on the fragrant black tea while talking.
"That's why, in order to resist the Demons, the Protoss created the ritual of summoning the heroes. By summoning heroes with unique characteristics from another world to fight against the Demons, the ultimate goal is to defeat the king of the Demons — the Demon King."
At the same time, the Goddess also mentioned to Shien who was sitting opposite her and seemed to be focused on drinking the black tea.
"Although we Protoss can do all kinds of things, we can't directly bestow power. Therefore, we Protoss have high hopes for the heroes who are born with holy swords and generally powerful unique skills. We hope that one day, they can defeat the Demon King."
Just like that, the Goddess explained all kinds of things to Shien.
Regarding this, Shien had a few questions.
For example …
"Why can't the Gods directly bestow power?"
Shien raised his question.
The Goddess gave a straightforward answer.
"Because levels and skills are concepts engraved in [Truth]. Even the Gods can't interfere."
The so-called [Truth] referred to the laws and rules of the world itself, also known as the [World Principle].
"Whether it's the Protoss, Demons, Humans, or Demons, all of them have levels and skills. According to the individual's quality, talents, and potential, the growth rate in all aspects is different. All of these are concepts engraved in [Truth]. In other words, it's the rules of the world itself. We Protoss can only interfere with phenomena and events, but we can't interfere with the rules of the world itself. We can't interfere with [Truth] itself."
The Goddess explained.
"Of course, if it's within the scope of [Truth], then we can still interfere a little. For example, magic interferes with [Truth] with magical powers, thus interfering with phenomena and events, ultimately forming power. That is magic."
"Then, there are some magical weapons, magical items, and magical potions that can also temporarily increase the level of skills and personal abilities according to this magical characteristic. The Holy Sword that you possess also belongs to this category."
"However, interference with [Truth] can only be done within the permitted scope. If it breaks the balance too much, then it will not be allowed no matter what."
For example, the Gods can bestow weapons or items that can increase one's strength, and they can also bless humans, but they definitely can't directly increase a person's level.
Otherwise, humans wouldn't need to level up, nor would they need to grow. They could just be bestowed by the Gods.
As for weapons or items that can directly increase a person's level, they don't exist in this world at all.
"Until now, the only weapons and items that can increase a person's level are the Holy Swords of you heroes from another world. In this world, there are only items that can increase the level of a certain skill or a part of a person's ability."
The Goddess said.
"This is probably because you people aren't from this world, so you have somewhat deviated from the rules of this world's [Truth]?"
Most of the heroes from another world could awaken extremely powerful unique skills. Perhaps it was because of the same reason.
That was why the Gods wanted to summon heroes.
"Unfortunately, not every person from another world has the qualities to become a hero. Otherwise, every single person from another world would have been summoned here, wouldn't they?"
The Goddess said these words as if nothing had happened.
Shien rolled his eyes without batting an eyelid, but he was also quite puzzled.
If that's the case, doesn't that mean that the reason I was summoned here and became a hero wasn't because I was randomly chosen, but because of something special about me?
"That's exactly what it is." The Goddess once again saw through Shien's thoughts and smiled: "At the very least, from ancient times until now, the number of heroes that have been summoned to this world has never numbered more than 10"
In other words, the number of people from another world who had the qualities to become heroes was incredibly small.
Shien was one of them.
"By the way, the heroes that were summoned in the past all came from a different world from you."
The Goddess said something even more astonishing.
