The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 91: The Ultimate Enforcers
As we sat down outside the training facility deep underground, I toyed with my status menu and immersed myself in meditation.I wanted to make the status menu more efficient while also seeing what types of spells I could use right now.First, I gave myself infinite skill points.Then I realized I didn't need to do that and didn't bother fixing it.After that, I checked the skill activation system.I modified it so that I didn't have to shout out skill names anymore. Although, there was a setting rooted to the base of the entire system that increased their power by a fair margin if I shouted the skill name.I decided that I would continue to call out skill names for now. At least until I figured out how to modify it. If I had to kill someone without people noticing, this would be a huge help.I also didn't bother tampering with Isabella's status menu until I had perfected mine.She was completely okay with this and instead, spent her time trying out new ways to make barriers.The Archm
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 92: Ulkanos
After our sparring match, the other Enforcers returned to their work.We asked about Carlos and why he didn't participate, but he was apparently very busy working on the Abyss Engine issue.He had almost reconstructed the one we broke three years ago. Currently, it was being held in a separate facility than the one Kazuma destroyed. Carlos was a smart man, and predicted that very scenario as a possibility.Iris led us out of the HQ and we took a limousine to a nearby liftoff area that housed a helicopter.Considering the one on top of the HQ was currently unusable and it wasn't safe to be up there.Although surprisingly, the HQ had already been made mostly stable thanks to Dante and Leiso's efforts to minimize damage. Currently they were assessing the extent of the damage and were about to start repairs.We took the helicopter to the airport and made our way to Ulkanos.* * *We rode in a private jet instead of a regular plane because our faces were now plastered everywhere. We didn'
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 93: First Day Assignment
"Excuse me?" I said."Yeah, you two are taking a vacation to Nexus soon. Should be fun!" Michael said."Isn't that incredibly dangerous?" Isabella said."Of course it is! But you two are more than capable of handling anything they throw at you. Although, I haven't said everything yet.""Then please continue, Michael," Isabella said."So here's the deal, last time Iris went over there, Novak told her that if she showed up again they would kill her. Normally, that's a hollow threat, but... They actually have the power to do that now using the Abyss Engine.""Again with that thing?" I said."The Abyss Engine neutralizes her power as a goddess and renders her vulnerable. If Iris dies, the Enforcers go with her. Except you two, that is. You two aren't sustained by her power. The divine energy sustaining you comes from somewhere else. All Iris did was activate it within you and manifest your Aspects.""Very well then, tell us the plan," Isabella said. "The entire region of Nexus has been o
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 94: Status Magic System
The next day, we ate breakfast and I began meditation again.I wanted to make some last minute changes to the status magic system I planned to cast on the Enforcers.As far as I could tell, the Enforcer Aspects gave incredible power but didn't alter my stats in any way.In fact, the changes seemed to be invisible. I knew for a fact that I was faster, stronger, more durable, and had sharpened senses.But my stat pool remained more or less the same.But...this was actually to my advantage.Because the others would start at level 1 and still retain their current strength.Next, there was the issue of gaining exp.First, I had to understand what happened when someone gained exp. A piece of the soul from slain monsters and...people...was converted into a substance called spectral energy.This spectral energy was only able to be collected through the use of the status menu's interface. It awarded the user with 'experience' and helped them grow stronger.Since everyone had an innate limit o
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 95: Preparations
The next day we began settling into a new routine.We had to practice our abilities, so Rune offered to spar with us.She was extremely efficient in battle and held the Advanced Aspect of Telekinesis.Although being an Attendant meant she only had one Aspect and its power wasn't very high. Nonetheless, she used it well as a means of assassination with the many small throwing knives she held.She was incapable of hitting me, though. I even allowed her to utilize actual firearms...with some convincing, of course.Rune also learned of the futility of conventional weapons against Isabella's barriers.Her personal defense wasn't quite as immense as it would have been with Bravery, but it was still very high with the combination of Honor and The Centurion. Actually, it was still higher than when she had Bravery in the past.At some point, Rune accepted that she wouldn't be able to scratch us and went all out.It was also important for us to know that she could be trusted to help on the fiel
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 96: Operation: Vanguard
We had been inside the Hammerhead for a week, now on our way to the part of Nexus that we would be infiltrating.Currently, we wore Nexus combat uniforms. The standard clothing of most of the citizens from that country. We had already adopted the appearance of Tyranus and Alice, and had been practicing referring to each other by name.Currently, 'Alice' sat beside me."I really can't wait until this is all over, Tyranus. I want you to be Mizik again.." Alice said."I know. Isabella is the woman I love and who I married. I want you to be her again as well, but that will have to wait."Alice nodded and then hugged my arm."I don't like Tyranus, but I can at least remember you're actually my husband. So I'll be Alice as long as you need me to be," she said.What I didn't mind, was the fact that Tyranus was taller than me. He was around 6'5. I was kind of enjoying the view...Just then, the hatch on our door opened and Leiso walked in."Mizik, Isabella, we're approaching the coast," she
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 97: The Capital Of Nexus
The first thing I noticed upon reaching solid ground after teleporting, was how much magical power it actually used.Teleporting myself was one thing, even mildly long distances.But more than one person? I would need to think carefully before trying this again because I felt exhausted for a few minutes after we landed.Alice put her hands on my arm and looked at me. I couldn't see her face due to the mask, but I knew she was worried."Are you okay, Tyranus?" She asked quietly."I'm...fine... Let's just get moving."There weren't any living people around, but we remained invisible and kept our masks on. Once we reached the fence, I reluctantly teleported us a short distance to the other side and we ran into the forest.Alice made sure to restore my strength so that we could escape."What's the plan, now?" Alice asked."Well, we need to get to the capital. So let's go to the nearest city and see if we can get on a plane.""Understood."* * *After that, we spent the next few days trav
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 98: The Abyss Engine
Alice and I made our way quickly to the Abyss Engine tower.We reached a wall just past the area where we encountered Kazuma and I teleported us to the other side of it. Then I used the compass to direct us to the power source.Eventually, we came close to a massive tower. I felt the buzzing sensation from before radiating from before and started feeling pain in my head. To be honest, it was hard to maintain focus on the invisibility and any minute, it would likely run out.We decided that the best course of action would be to begin the assault now.The front door was monitored by two stationary guards holding assault rifles. Occasionally, another group of about five or so guards would pass by.Alice placed a barrier around us and the two guards, then I uncloaked with my silenced pistol ready."What the hell!? Who are-"I shot both of them in quick succession. The bullets penetrated their helmets and killed then instantly.My magic ensured that even their voices weren't heard.We dra

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
