Hero? Are You Worthy?-Chapter 343 - 218 To Hell with the Truth of the World (5)

"Moreover, that woman Rose Vesper..."

"She never participated in the action that killed thirty-seven Different World Heroes, so why does she give me a feeling of terror that surpasses that of the other nine members of the Hero Team who have blood on their hands and kill like it’s nothing? Seeing her makes me tremble all over."

"Did the Second Generation Jie Luo sense something as well?"

That was where the information ended.

New information brought new doubts.

The Second Generation Brave Warrior had actually always been faithfully executing the tasks given by the Evil God.

He hunted fate, he hunted heroes.

The weird part was here.

It was clearly recorded in Sky Dome Continent that the summoning of heroes only occurred twice, the first time summoning the Second Generation Jie Luo, and the second time summoning Qin Chu.

However, according to the information left by the First Generation Jie Luo, it seemed that Sky Dome Continent had been summoning heroes all along, averaging perhaps once a month. But these newly summoned heroes were immediately found by the Second Generation Jie Luo and then killed.

The Hero Team members, fully aware of these people’s identities and knowing they could be the heroes to save the Sky Dome Continent, still obediently followed Jie Luo’s orders and mercilessly killed those who very likely were people who had crossed over from Earth.

Even though these people hadn’t done anything wrong, and they didn’t even understand what exactly was happening to them, possibly thinking they were still dreaming, they died confused.

A group of pitiable people indeed.

Qin Chu also felt a bit desolate in his heart.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the sorrow in his heart, and plunged back into deep thought.

By his side, Ireta, knowing that Qin Chu was contemplating extremely important matters, just silently and obediently stood by without disturbing him.

Qin Chu was connecting everything he experienced during the first week with this current week, adding to it the clues obtained from the soul fragments.

Wise Mountain couldn’t possibly summon heroes multiple times in a short period; it didn’t have the power.

Moreover, heroes summoned by Wise Mountain were directly brought into the city and were well protected when they had no strength initially.

So, continue to extrapolate the thoughts.

The way the First Generation Jie Luo and himself were summoned to this world was fundamentally different.

After all, he hadn’t experienced anything like a space-time tunnel, nor had he heard the voice of a mysterious woman.

Let’s assume, then, that there are two ways heroes are summoned to the Sky Dome Continent: first, by Wise Mountain, and second, by that Goddess, each method theoretically not interfering with the other.

Qin Chu was summoned by Wise Mountain.

The First Generation Jie Luo was summoned by the Goddess.

But, the summoning process of the First Generation Jie Luo was intercepted by the Evil God in the Void, his soul consciousness was erased, his memories were inherited, and his body was remodeled and possessed.

At the same time, Wise Mountain should have also been summoning a hero, and the remodeled Second Generation Jie Luo was then thrown over by the Evil God of the Void.

However, the soul of the First Generation Jie Luo wasn’t completely cleaned up. Given the Evil God’s capabilities, this would not be possible—it could only be inferred that perhaps there was some power protecting him, deceiving the Void Evil God!

Latter on, due to some reasons, he gradually woke up and left this information in the soul, although the likelihood was small, but still, it’s hoped that it might provide some warning to those who came after.

And the most important among these pieces of information was that thirty-seven heroes were killed.

These thirty-seven heroes were very likely summoned by the Goddess, and one of the Second Generation Jie Luo’s targets was to hunt them. But if the Void Evil God could intercept the Goddess’s summons, why not intercept all thirty-seven heroes? Why choose the more troublesome method of using the Second Generation Jie Luo as a tool?

Qin Chu could only continue to speculate that the Void Evil God, needing to suppress the Goddess in the cage, could not use all its power, unable to intercept all the heroes... or perhaps intercepting once would consume a huge amount of energy, so They needed to create a powerful tool that would completely obey Their own commands to eliminate the heroes for Them.

Clearly, the First Generation Jie Luo didn’t meet the criteria, so he was eliminated.

Moreover, They didn’t seem to have the capacity to widely affect and interfere with this world; otherwise, as soon as a hero appeared, They could simply snuff them out.

They couldn’t even consistently watch over this world, only occasionally casting Their gaze upon the land... after all, Qin Chu was truly noticed by the Evil God only after coming into contact with the seven scrolls.

However, judging from Rose Vesper’s seven scrolls, Silf’s weird threads, and the whisperings by Karsas’s ear, the aftereffects the Evil God left in this world were not limited to just the Second Generation Jie Luo.

The cage in the Void trapped the Goddess while also keeping these Evil Gods confined in the Void. They could only influence this world in various ways, such as the seven scrolls, the Second Generation Jie Luo, and so on.

Moreover, why were these Evil Gods of the Void so targeted against the heroes?

Even if the heroes were extremely talented and progressed quickly in strength, becoming the most powerful beings among all humans, they were still nothing but weaklings in the face of the Evil Gods of the Void, right?

Is it really necessary?

Such heavy-handed preparations even made Qin Chu feel that something was off. Amongst these arrangements, he seemed to sense a hint of fear.

It was as if the heroes truly possessed the power to kill the Evil Gods.

Why had the Second Generation Jie Luo never allowed Rose Vesper to partake in the slaughter of other heroes? What exactly was he guarding against? With Rose Vesper possessing the Evil God’s seven scrolls, it could be assumed that her relationship with the Evil God should be very close, and her rapport with the Second Generation Jie Luo should be better too, right?

Or could it be that this Second Generation Jie Luo was naturally rebellious?

The mysterious Goddess kept sending heroes to the Sky Dome Continent, wasn’t she adopting a scatter-shot approach hoping to get lucky? Or was it just to confuse the Evil Gods and hide the real heroes among them?

Regardless, this mysterious Goddess was even crueler than one might have imagined.

But ever since Jie Luo died, the transmission of heroes stopped. Otherwise, besides himself, there wouldn’t have been a complete lack of news about people coming from a Different World. Did the Evil Gods of the Void come up with a way to intercept them, or had the mysterious Goddess exhausted her strength and met her end?

Or could it be that the Goddess has already been found, and even killed, by the Second Generation Jie Luo?

A sudden chill ran through Qin Chu’s body. Unlike the First Generation Brave Hero Jie Luo, who had been directly transformed and had his soul annihilated, he had successfully descended into this world—damn, he was really lucky.

He thought a lot!

But what exactly was hidden in this world, he still didn’t know; these were just his conjectures.

Now, with only two soul fragments, the information he could obtain was far too limited.

Even though Qin Chu’s mentality had matured a lot and his self-control had grown much stronger, at this moment, he still couldn’t help but become very agitated. He clutched his hair forcefully and kept growling softly; he did not activate the Power of Compulsory Calmness. Sometimes he also needed to vent—otherwise, the oppressive and weird mountain would have suffocated him.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it all!"

I just wanted revenge, why the hell do I have to get entangled in these troublesome affairs?

His mood had plummeted to the extreme.

After all, what he had to face was those weird and frightening beings.

Qin Chu’s reaction made Ireta a bit scared.

Her slender body subconsciously curled up.

Although she was the mighty Daughter of Death, she seemed a bit timid.

After a long while, Qin Chu took a deep breath and raised his head again.

His face showed fatigue, but his eyes were bright.

To hell with it, to hell with the world’s truth.

To hell with the Void Evil God.

Bring whatever tricks you have; I’ll take them on. Once I grow strong enough, I’ll split the Evil God in two, scatter its ashes to the winds.

However, in the time to come, he would be more careful, more cautious!

His spirit restored, he looked over at the Daughter of Death. There were too few clues available on his side... The Goddess’s hint was only the simple words "Witch."

So, no matter what, wouldn’t it be better to gather the witches around him as soon as possible?

Originally, Qin Chu’s next target was the Fiery Flame Witch, but since the Daughter of Death had appeared on her own, that was a good thing as well, wasn’t it?

Or is this what they call fate?

Crap fate.

Seemingly influenced by the First Generation Jie Luo, Qin Chu muttered under his breath.

Qin Chu adjusted his mood and managed to force a smile on his face, "Miss Ireta, I’m sorry for letting you see my impolite side."

Ireta shook her head, indicating understanding.

It was normal for Qin Chu, as a Hero, to experience violent fluctuations in his spirit upon receiving such news.

"It’s okay, you are a good person," Ireta said softly. "I did not pry into your thoughts, but I can feel your soul... it does not fit in with this world."

"This world does not deserve someone as pure as you."

Qin Chu gave a bitter smile—pure?

The praise from Ireta was really hard for Qin Chu to accept, considering what he had done in the second week, which wasn’t exactly noble.

"When tens of thousands of bodies were burning, only you felt sorrow for those dead soldiers. All other nobles, clergy, were only filled with disdain and fear in their hearts."

"The words you said to those soldiers on the bloody battlefield... Actually, I was nearby all along, I heard everything. ’Princes and generals, have they some type of kith or kin?’ What powerful words. In this phrase, I can sense endless possibilities."

"You wanted to encourage them to muster their courage, to use their own strength and hands to seize the happiness they desired, to change this rotten world, right?"

No, no, no, I was just fanning the flames.

I wanted to watch the world turn chaotic; I wanted blood to flow like rivers.

Ireta took Qin Chu’s headshaking as an act of modesty, "Mr. Brave, humility is a good quality, but don’t take it too far."

"You must have realized that this world has rotted from the top down, with the noble class looking down from their high positions, behaving arrogantly and oppressing, bullying, and slaughtering other humans willfully."

"The commoners are like domesticated animals, having lost the pride of being born human. They calmly endure all the suffering that they ought not to bear."

"If these numb souls cannot be awakened mentally, even if you killed all the nobles, it would only be a matter of replacing them with a new group of nobles. The world would not change at all."

"You are so kind... and so wise."

"You did not tell them directly, but you planted a seed, which will surely take root and sprout one day."

"You must have considered that the strongest power is that which one comes to understand on their own, so you arranged it this way deliberately, didn’t you?"

"Mr. Qin, I understand everything!"

No, you don’t understand a damn thing?
