The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 226: Withdrawals
As Cassandra sat quietly on the small couch within Iris' apartment in Excelsis, she noticed her hands were shaking slightly."Hmm...that's odd. Why am I so nervous right now?" She mumbled to herself.Currently, Johann was out getting food for the two of them.Cassandra told him to grab extra for Mizik when they went back to the Abyss.After all, Cassandra couldn't be happy if her beloved Mizik was forced to eat the strange substances they had for nourishment in the Abyss.She knew he would be overjoyed to have real food again... And the thought of making Mizik smile caused Cassandra to shiver in excitement.Although for the past several days, she had noticed strange things.Cassandra was having trouble focusing on the mission because she could only think of Mizik most of the time. This was bad because she knew he was counting on her...At the same time, she began to feel increasingly nervous and her hands wouldn't stop shaking.Johann had also noticed, but Cassandra told him she was f
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 227: Kranox
Vakra and I arrived near a small village on Kranox."Why did she bring us here, of all places...?" Vakra said."Is there a problem? We can get some food and proper rest in that village," I said as I shielded my eyes from the sunlight.Seriously, it was extremely bright out here... This particular area was a blazing-hot desert."No, you fool. The people of this village aren't people at all. They're brain-eating parasites. They'll lure you in and crack your skull open to feast on your brain," Vakra said."I think I understand why this is a terrible location.""Exactly. Also, it's a desert. They make my bones dry..." Vakra said.He was wearing his mask, but I could tell he was still a skeleton. He had yet to change back after what happened on Delvandal."Well, if the location is so terrible, why don't you tell Valthiem to move us? She's definitely nearby. I can still feel her presence," I said."Because there's no need. I'll just open a subspace pathway and go to a part of the world that
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 228: Saboteur
When she approached the facility, Cassandra could already see the guards cowering I fear as Johann began his brutal rampage.They decided to move into the building for safety and Cassandra took the chance to sneak in alongside them.Since she had no idea how she would go about actually finding the generator itself, Cassandra would need to be creative. After all, this was a mission she absolutely could not fail.Minutes passed as she silently followed several guards around. She began to wonder about how she would go about her plan."Hmm...what do you think, Intelligence?"[I believe you have the necessary tools, Lady Cassandra. Your illusion magic seems to deeply affect the minds of others. But stealth, as you know, is key. Above all else, they must not have any reason to check the target for irregularities.]"But of course! My darling Mizik would be so upset if he learned of such a thing! Now then...mind eater should work..."Cassandra waited until a guard was alone and raised her han
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 229: Declaration
As she followed the trail of destruction that Johann left in his wake, Cassandra couldn't help but be amazed by it.The friendly dragon god, Johann, had shown his true colors...And when Cassandra saw the scene where Johann stood, her opinion of him went much higher.All around him were the ashes, burnt corpses, and mangled bodies of the many unfortunate soldiers who crossed his path.Many of them were burned badly, missing limbs, missing heads, had their throats torn out, their spines shattered, their bodies melted, and so on.It was truly a sickening sight.Most people would likely have lost their lunch at seeing it.As for Cassandra...she had seen similar things before. Even preformed such acts on others.It was nothing to be bothered about for her.And Johann stood facing down Rose who was protecting a badly-wounded and burned Abbadon.Johann was covered in the blood and ashes of his slain enemies.He had a cold and unfeeling expression on his face...It reminded her of...Suddenl
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 230: Reward
After coming back from Kranox, Vakra went to his lab to begin working on his new project.I simply went to my room and enjoyed some of the extra food I purposely made while hunting there.The food in the Abyss, while edible and not bad tasting, looked disgusting.The texture was terrible, too.I hated eating it, in all honesty, but I had little choice.Once I had finished eating, I took a bath and went to bed.The bath was pleasant, but I missed having Cassandra wash me. Regardless, I fell asleep immediately after laying down.Some time later...I felt a weight on me.When I opened my eyes, I saw Cassandra laying on top of me and...smelling my chest...In other words, her usual bizarre and stalker-like behavior."Uhh...Cassandra...? What are you doing?" I asked."I'm...haaah...taking in your scent! I've been deprived of my darling Mizik for so long!" She said as she continued squeezing me and inhaling the smell of my chest.Isn't it a bit early for you to be acting like an obsessive st
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 231: The Agreement
When I woke up, Cassandra still remained asleep.I held her close as she breathed softly and she seemed to respond to it."Nnn...more...Mizik..." She said.I guess if you just want to cuddle, I can keep doing that...Eventually, she opened her eyes and looked sleepily up at me."Darling...! I had the most...wonderful dream!" She said She scooted up and wrapped her arms around my shoulders."Good morning, Cassandra. Sleep well?" I said.She nodded."Much better than in Excelsis. And my hands have stopped shaking!" She said happily."Good to hear. What did you think of the family yesterday?" I asked."They're all so nice! I can see why Mizik is so kind after meeting them!" She said.We both sat up and she smiled at me.I was glad that Cassandra got along well with everyone. But truthfully, I wasn't worried. I knew they would love her and I knew Cassandra would easily win them over.She actually managed to present herself as a nornal human being around them.When she chose to act norma
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 232: Journey Into Darkness
Once we left the castle, I saw the city of Kazekiir.It was amazing...The buildings weren't shaped the same as as traditional ones, but all seemed to be partially connected with interlocking walkways in the sky. Or at least what was considered a sky below the Void.As we walked the streets, people would occasionally react to us.And by us, I mean..."Eh...EHHHHHH!? L-LADY VALTHIEM!?!? RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!"Several people would react with pure terror upon seeing Valthiem walk around normally.It was kind of weird...She had the appearance of a beautiful young woman with dark gray hair.She wasn't particularly imposing and only wore a somewhat bulky armored robe.I mean, after all...she was probably only around 5'5. And yet...I couldn't actually think of a more terrifying entity in all of creation...Dying was surely a scary thing.And I would know...But to simply stop existing?To me, that was far more terrifying.Valthiem was more than capable of doing that to someone. "Hey, Val
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 233: Phantom Memories
As Rose sat down in the chair next to her desk, she clutched her head in her hands.It had been five and a half months since Johann destroyed a large portion of the city...And at the same time, Rose couldn't stop getting these headaches...They were always accompanied by memories that she didn't experience and images of people she swore she had seen before but never met.She began having strange thoughts that felt like they weren't hers."YOU'VE RUINED EVERYTHING!!! YOU IDIOT!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!?!?" A voice in her head screamed."SHUT UP!!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! YOU'RE NOT REAL!!!" Rose yelled aloud.Just then, her mind was assaulted by images again...She saw herself standing in front of a man by an altar. There was a priest.Walter was there and...Arvild came in to stop whatever was going on.The man protected her and fought Arvild in an arena after that.He nearly died...but he won the fight.Next, she was laying in bed with her head on his chest.After that, she vagu

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
