Hero? Are You Worthy?-Chapter 747 - 516: The Defiled Hero (2)

The Goddess left behind a command and then floated away.

Mitsui Kenta was filled with reluctance.

But in his heart, the Goddess was the one and only; he was the most loyal dog in this world, without a shred of doubt toward the Goddess’s orders.

He sought out a hidden place to lie low, and except for the occasional necessary outings, he never appeared in public.

He felt that his original appearance was quite handsome already, but clearly, even being that good-looking was not enough to match the Goddess; he needed a more perfect body and a more handsome face to truly win the Goddess’s favor.

Therefore, Mitsui Kenta began to employ various methods to change his appearance.

Besides being able to consume the powers of dead Heroes, he also possessed a special Power called the exchanger.

This ability sounded simple; it was that he helped others accomplish certain things, and after the tasks were finished, he could acquire something he wanted from them.

In reality, this seemingly simple ability was extremely exaggerated and powerful.

It was a Power that allowed Mitsui Kenta to rapidly enhance his own strength; once a contract was established between both parties, no one could violate it.

Exchanger actually entailed a constriction of rules on a conceptual level.

Once Mitsui Kenta fulfilled the other party’s request, he could gain a Power, Magic Power, Fighting Energy, or wealth from them—whichever he wanted.

Unfortunately, Mitsui Kenta viewed this Power as a means to make himself more perfect; he sought out handsome men and used this ability to acquire from them the body parts he wanted—their faces, their eyes, noses, ears, even their voices...

It was not difficult to use this Power, as everyone had their own desires to fulfill, things they wanted, weaknesses to exploit; even those who desired nothing, Mitsui Kenta would use his strength to create needs in them to form a contract.

It was through these constant exchanges that Mitsui Kenta became more and more handsome.

He had thought that once he became handsome and perfect, the Goddess would reappear before him and dote on him.

But since her departure, the Goddess had never appeared again.

Mitsui Kenta translated his longing and affection into artistic talent and began to sculpt statues of the Goddess; after countless refinements, he finally created the most perfect image you see now.

When he couldn’t see the Goddess, Mitsui Kenta consoled himself by admiring the statue of the Goddess.

Mitsui Kenta had no knowledge of the Goddess’s plans or how long he was supposed to remain in hiding... but he could sense that the Goddess was still summoning Heroes to this world.

For the sake of maintaining his status as the sole Hero by the Goddess’s side, he killed all these Heroes.

He was loyal to the Goddess, yet he did not want other loyal dogs by her side.

The bodies of those Heroes were also consumed by Mitsui Kenta.

With every Hero’s body he devoured, Mitsui Kenta gained another clone.

His strength grew increasingly formidable.

Until Demons appeared, and Mitsui Kenta thought he could finally make his move; he prayed to the Goddess, yet her command was still to lie low.

This left Mitsui Kenta utterly perplexed; he couldn’t understand the purpose of summoning him if there was nothing for him to do, what was he supposed to do?

Then one day, a new Hero arrived in this world.

As usual, Mitsui Kenta intended to assassinate this Hero.

However, the moment Mitsui Kenta saw this Hero, he immediately felt a weird, sinister power emanating from him; that aura sent chills to his bones.

It was a fear that originated from deep within his soul, as profound as the Void, like a giant vortex from the Abyss, trying to swallow him whole.

He dared not engage in battle with this Hero, escaping in a near-disgraceful manner.

Latterly he learned the name of this Hero was Jie Luo.

Even though Jie Luo had been summoned after him, he possessed strengths far more fearsome than his own, something Mitsui Kenta found unbearable... Helplessly, since being summoned to this world, Mitsui Kenta had devoted all his time and energy to becoming more handsome and perfect and to perfecting the sculpture of the beautiful Goddess.

Apart from assassinating other Heroes, he actually didn’t focus much on cultivating.

Although he had devoured the talents and strengths of many Heroes, his ability never seemed too exaggerated.

After this, Mitsui Kenta discovered that Jie Luo’s actions were strikingly similar to his own, continually plotting against Heroes summoned to this world... He grew suspicious that Jie Luo might also be coveting the Goddess.

Damn it, the Goddess was his, and he would not allow that bastard to steal her away.

Unfortunately, due to the vast difference in their strengths, even though Mitsui Kenta felt intense frustration and anger internally, he never dared to show his face in front of Jie Luo.

Fearing that Jie Luo would treat him like any other summoned Hero and cut him down in one stroke... a quick death would be mercifully simple, but to suffer inhumane torture before dying in pain and despair like the other Heroes, that would be true torment.
