The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 165: Phylactery
After our talks with the Emperor and his disgusting advisor, we made our way back to Vakra's lab...Isabella hugged me and sighed."I'm so angry!! That man wants to do horrible things to me, Mizik..." Isabella said."I know, but he won't succeed. Once Vakra finishes helping us, they won't be able to stand against our might.""I hope so..." Truthfully, I could understand if she was skeptical.Every time we had gained significant power, something always arrived to show us how weak we truly were...Gaining legendary swords and level 150 was met with the shadow dragon... Who traumatized us and broke our spirit.Becoming Enforcers was met by Difar himself.The man who utterly decimated us and even managed to defeat two gods in battle at the same time.Would this time be different?If not...everything would have to be reset again.As we talked, Vakra entered the room. He was in his human form and currently not wearing his mask."Now you can see the problem..." He said."That the Emperor is
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 166: The Imperial Advisor
For the next three days, I tinkered with the heart stones in our chests using my Archmage Aspect.Seriously, the Archmage was probably my favorite of the two...Not only did it have basically limitless practical use, but it was also very fun to use. I still planned to modify the output of the stones more in the future, but for now, I would simply have to be patient.Carlos had been working closely with Vakra and Leiso to perfect the device. Although he believed further tinkering would be necessary after implementation.This was due to subtle differences between the energy signatures of the legendary stones, themselves, as well as what I have personally done to the ones in our chest.That is, transferring our souls to them.Vakra was impressed with Carlos' thinking and already considered him a valuable colleague.Meanwhile, Rune and Jallah were standing guard outside of the lab to prevent interference from anyone. Directly under the Supreme Admiral's orders.While all of this was goin
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 166: Birth Of A Legend
The very next day, we were made to stand before the Emperor again.Jarbold intended to make good on his threats by using the Emperor as a weapon."Hmm...Jarbold says you two were mean to him yesterday. That's not very nice of you. Even after he was so kind. You should apologize right now," Emperor Alwen said.Suddenly, Cassandra took over and smiled at the Emperor."Your Advisor is the filthiest pile of maggots I have ever seen. He tried to hurt my darling Mizik and that is unforgivable. Although, I suppose you wouldn't understand what he's really like, would you? You are a naive little bastard child," Cassandra said with extreme contempt.I wasn't worried about her speech at all.I knew by the haze in the room that she had cast an illusion. Whatever the illusion said, made the Emperor smile.Jarbold, however, heard what really happened."HOW DARE YOU!!! YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO HIS MAJESTY LIKE THAT!!! EMPEROR ALWEN, I DEMAN THEIR HEADS!!!" Jarbold said.The Emperor flinched at his shou
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 168: Unlimited Power
A few days later, Vakra wanted to do a test on our powers. Sadly, the Emperor had decided that effective immediately, Isabella was to report to him and Jarbold...Currently, I stood outside in a field that was empty all around for miles. Instead of my old clothes and regulation military attire, I was wearing a combat suit made by Elysium.It was navy-blue with black armored plates. Leiso had a hand in making the metal for this particular suit.It displayed the heart device on my chest and emitted a soft glow. "Vakra...if that little shit continues to try and keep Isabella away from me..." "I know, I know. Every day I find myself less likely to stop you... The world is in grave danger and all he cares about is looking at the pretty girl. He is far too naive..." Vakra said."I'm personally against killing children, but I've done it before. Besides, Cassandra can make someone else kill him. They'll take the fall," I said."I might take you up on that offer. Although there are no other
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 169: The Emerald Demon
While speaking with Vakra about what I would be doing in Lokan, I mentioned the situation at port Sagral.He just laughed and said it would take a lot more than a false claim to start a war with Elysium.Because even if another country attacked, Elysium wouldn't go to war unless they wanted to. They would just destroy the attacking force and be done with it.I even learned from him that Elysium wasn't interested in using the legendary heart stones to power their machines and technology.They had incredible power, but were highly unstable. He planned to give the Heart of the Deep back to us once he had finished running tests on it.Vakra also told me something about their plans.Elysium wouldn't actually do Lokan the favor of declaring war on them to let them know of a coming attack. They planned to just show up with a few ships and start attacking. Lokan was apparently a country infested with criminals and degenerates. Slavery, prostitution, sex trafficking, violence, and the like.
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 170: The Final Straw
Days passed at the Elysium palace and both of the Albatross sisters were becoming increasingly fed up with the situation.The Emperor would make ridiculous requests that Isabella refused to fill.Such as sleeping on her chest or lap and marrying him.He even wanted her to bathe with him and tried to follow her into her personal bathroom when she needed to wash. Isabella blocked him from the door with a black barrier.No matter how many times she refused, this idiot child seemed to still be infatuated with her.Even worse, Jarbold had begun to try secretive attempts to control her.At one point, she was also made to keep watch outside of his room while he mercilessly beat and raped one of his female slaves.Isabella wanted to help with every fiber of her being as Stella was tormented and begged for help...but Isabella had her orders.Not to kill either of them...It was starting to darken her mind because it was a constant occurrence... Jarbold had many female slaves, after all...Each
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 171: Reunion
Our campaign against Lokan only took as long as it did to travel.Any time they tried to mount a defense ended up being an entirely pointless endeavor.I could obliterate their walls and defenses with either magic or physical attacks as I saw fit. Other than that, my firearms had also become more powerful. A hail of gunfire and explosions would decimate enemy troops. Utterly eradicating them.By this point, I had also reached level 162. My stats were growing at a much higher rate and had already increased exponentially.One day while resting, I had become curious about my sword's own abilities and asked Vengeance.Vengeance, you still have room to grow, don't you?[My power has not yet reached its peak. You are better able to handle it now. The battle against the false source was only a taste of what I am truly capable of...my fourth and final form...]Yeah, I remember. Your fourth form. Tell me about it.[I will only reveal so much to you at this time. You have yet to truly fulfill
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 172: The New Advisor
Two weeks later, we walked back into the throne room where Alwen sat on the throne with a dead-eyed stare."Oh...hello Lady Isabella... Lord Mizik... Can I be of service to the heroes destined to save our world?" Alwen asked.I simply looked at Isabella and raised an eyebrow."What did you do to him?" I asked."Think of it as a form of torture... My own personal method. Cassandra was the one who dealt with Jarbold," she said.I shuddered to think of what terrible things Isabella did to Alwen. Even more so imagining the horror of being held by Cassandra..."That monster reminded me of my sin. I had no choice. I hope you're proud of me, Mizik!" Cassandra said."Yeah...proud of you is definitely part of it..." I said.I felt myself shiver at the thought of the things he experienced... Also curiousity. If I was ever feeling bored, I would ask her to tell me the full story.Then Vakra approached the throne and simply looked at Alwen."Alwen, I hope you'll be more cooperative with us in the

Chapter 256: Soul Splitting
The Oracle was quite literally dragged to the Cursebreaker. She had gone completely insane after being killed, tortured, and reset ten thousand times."I have successfully discovered the source of my curse," Vakra said."Is it her?" I said as I looked at the Oracle.She wouldn't move anymore."No. Her power is part of it, but she isn't the one who cursed me. I'm guessing that it was a higher power. But who could be higher than the Oracle? The Creator, of course.""So you were cursed by the architect of all of creation? That makes sense. Why would he want you running wild and defying reality like that?""Ugh...it pains me to admit it, but you are correct, Mizik... My abilities made a mockery of his creation and I was likely cursed as a result. Meaning that I can never erase this curse.""So sad to hear. But that's also a good thing for me. I don't think I would trust you if I couldn't contain you," I said."Right...and you'd be correct to assume such a thing. But I suppose I should get
Chapter 255: Spectacle Of Revenge
I was led to a large staging area where numerous gods of the realm had gathered. Isabella followed and I instructed Stella to stay back.The three of us, that being the Albatross twins and myself, were the ones most hurt by the Oracle's actions.Today...she would suffer in front of her people. And they would bear witness to the monster she created out of her own stubbornness and stupidity.We currently stood backstage. We were waiting for the Artificer to give the signal. And that's when I heard him speak."Greetings, people of Excelsis. As you well know already, I am the Artificer. The Guardian of Dominus. Today, you have all gathered here without knowing why...and soon you will find out. Good citizens of the realm, some of you are still haunted by the things you saw before the reset was ended. Most of you have no clear idea as to why Excelsis was violently razed to the ground by the man who calls himself: Destroyer. Well...that is the folly of your former leader. The Oracle is the o
Chapter 254: Festivals And Mind Control
Finally, preparations were complete and the festival began.Currently the three...or four of us? Were walking through the city streets and looking at the different attractions.That is to say, the Albatross twins and Stella.I allowed the others off of the ship so that they could enjoy themselves for a bit. The Artificer assured us that the area was secure. He was sure that the Oracle's Faithful had completely abandoned Excelsis.On every corner, we saw a squad of six drones. Additionally, other groups could be seen flying around above.Still, despite all of this...Isabella remained ever vigilant. Always clinging to my arm and staying right next to me. Despite the Artificer's reassurance, she continued to protect me.Stella followed behind with a content smile on her face.After a short while of looking at the different attractions, I found Iris along with Carlos and Leiso.Carlos looked a bit bored while Leiso seemed out of place.Iris was playing a game at a stall featuring several
Chapter 253: Missing Faithful
A few days later, things were finally beginning to look different in Excelsis.I could see flying metal constructs buzzing around in the air on insect-like wings, surveying the area. At the same time, many of the people of Excelsis were setting up decorations for a festival.Hilariously, they wouldn't know what they were celebrating until the day arrived.And as I sat on a bench nearby, Isabella sat happily next to me, clinging to my arm.Stella stood at my side surveying the area.There would have been other troops under her, but I chose not to bring them. The soldiers were specifically for the defense of the ship itself."Hmm..." "Is something wrong, Master?" Isabella said."You're having way too much fun calling me that, aren't you?" I said."Ehehe...guilty. I like seeing your reaction. But if I'm going to be a slave, I should play the part, yes?"I suppose so..." I said."I, for one, believe it to be perfectly natural to refer to his Majesty as Master," Stella said."Hm...right..
Chapter 252: Heart Resonance
As we walked back to the Cursebreaker, I could see Isabella constantly surveying the surrounding area for potential threats.However, many of the gods walking the streets recognized me as the one who razed Excelsis to the ground. The one who brought death and destruction to their realm.The result, was that they were absolutely terrified of me and made no attempts to approach.After all, many of them had actually been killed as a result of my actions.All the while I secretly remained on the lookout for a potential candidate. One goddess from this realm would join us on our ship. They would become mine forever and dedicate their existence to serving me and stopping the Corruption.But unfortunately, none of these would do. They were weak. I decided to ignore them and focus on something else.I had other plans, currently. I would be speaking to Iris and everyone about what she had to show them. They were valuable crew members, so I wanted to see what she had planned.Once we reached t
Chapter 251: Big Plans
After a month-long journey back to Excelsis...we finally returned.I couldn't believe how long it took to get back.We didn't have access to the divine transit, and as a result, it took much longer to get there.Of course, that gave me an idea. I wondered if I could potentially have a personal god or goddess to join our crew.Then I stopped and though about it more...Definitely a goddess. While more pleasing to look at, I could bring her even closer to me. And if she's completely under my control, she'll follow every order willingly. Best of all, someone like that is highly unlikely to betray me. I wouldn't have to enact vengeance upon her and remain on good terms...I almost smiled.That would be my next goal...find a goddess to join our crew to have permanent access to the divine transit.And maybe...Make new Enforcers...?It was too amazing. Our combat force would grow significantly from such a thing. We would be even stronger than before!I made a mental note to also have Iris t
Chapter 250: Artificial 'Intelligence'
While waiting on the final shipment of heart stones, I stood outside the Cursebreaker with Cassandra. We were also waiting on...the body for Virtus.The AI for our ship was a shy girl that had trouble talking to people. Unfortunately, I didn't know enough about computer programming to change her behavior. And Vakra refused even under the threat of death. So...we were stuck with her...A hour passed and Cassandra affectionately held onto my arm while humming."Having fun...?" I asked."Of course! I get to be with my darling Mizik!" Cassandra said happily.Then I looked forward and saw an eye staring at me in mid air a few feet away."Oh...damn it all..." I mumbled.It opened wider and Valthiem stood quietly with her mask on."Valthiem!? What are you doing here!?" Cassandra said as she readied herself."..."Then I felt that suffocating impending doom I had grown quite used to...Difar rose out of Valthiem's shadow and glared at me."Dammit...I had a speech prepared and everything. I w
Chapter 249: Payback
As I reached the bridge, I saw Stella charging straight for me."MASTER MIZIK!!!!" She shouted."Umm..."She nearly tackled me to the ground and began crying on my chest."You're alive!!! My beloved Master Mizik is alive!!! I'm so happy!!!" She cried."Yeah, I'm fine... Can you please calm down?" I said.She slowly pulled back and dried her tears. She smiled joyfully."I'm so glad that everything is back! Even if that horrible curse is still upon you, it means I have the pleasure of serving my beloved Master! This is a joyous day for me!" Stella exclaimed.Before I could respond, I heard the voice of Faith again.[This woman is filled with a great adoration for you! She also holds amazing power! May I petition you to let her hold me, my Lord!?]By the gods...fine...[Aha! But is the Overseer not greater than any mere lesser god!?]Please stop."Stella...I have a request," I said."Ah!? Does Master Mizik find me appealing? I can serve you in all sorts of ways, Master!" She said.Sudden
Chapter 248: Home Visit
The next day, I decided to visit the Cursebreaker before meeting with the Artificer.Cassandra was with me and Isabella stayed back. The two of us boarded the ship and were immediately confronted by Rastair."Good to see you, Ras-""MIZIIIIIIK!!!!!" She shouted as she hugged me."GET OFF ME, YOU DAMN GIANT WOMAN!""I'M NOT A GIANT!!!" She said as she pulled away. "Ugh...what is it!? Did something happen!?" I said."What!? Of course something happened! Iris already told me! You died, didn't you!?" Rastair said."Yeah, but I'm fine now! What about it!?" "Oooh...are you not in a good mood? That's kinda hot... Want me to give you a fun time? I'll make you feel better~!" She said with a sly smile.I could in my current state, but it might kill you. So no."Hard pass. For your own safety. Get stronger and we'll talk.""Ehhh...you're no fun..." Rastair said."You died on Delvandal, didn't you? When Rose destroyed it?" I said.Rastair nodded."I was just relaxing on Ripper Isle, sipping a g
