Chapter 20: 019 'Pretty cute. ``` "From a different world?" The sudden fact made Shane pause in his action of preparing to drink tea, his face full of astonishment. This reaction made the Goddess smile involuntarily. "You didn't hear wrong," the Goddess laughed, "There are many different worlds unlike this Omni Potanssen. The world you were in during your past life was just one among them. The only commonality is that the worlds you inhabit are very ordinary, having no God, no Demon, and no special powers. Therefore, they are completely independent entities, beyond even the reach of us of the Divine Race. We can only summon those with Hero traits from those worlds within the limits allowed by 'Reason.' That's the extent of it." It was truly unexpected. However, thinking about it carefully, it seemed understandable. If God could casually summon people from Otherworlds, then the Divine Race wouldn't have needed to create the major races to resist the Demon Clan. They could have just summoned people from Otherworlds for help, right? Even though, in Otherworlds, those with Hero qualities were extremely rare, not everyone could awaken their exclusive Holy Sword and Unique Skill, but in this aspect, people of this world faced the same conditions. They wouldn't have a Holy Sword, and not everyone could have a Unique Skill. They could only obediently start training from scratch, gradually leveling up and learning skills to rise above. Most people in this world still had to follow this path. Hence, if considering just the matter of manpower, people from any world were the same. If the Divine Race could summon people from Otherworlds into this world, most of them would probably start training with no advantages, just like people in this world, with only a few awakening their own Unique Skills. Whether these Unique Skills could be used in combat was still unknown. Only those with Hero qualities could awaken powerful Unique Skills and have their own exclusive Holy Sword. Thus, God only needed Heroes and could only summon Heroes. But, the number of people with Hero qualities seemed really small. From ancient times to now, less than ten Heroes have been summoned to this world, and every Hero came from a different world. This meant that, at most, only one person capable of becoming a Hero would appear in one world, and in many worlds, not even one appeared. "Moreover, Heroes can be strong or weak," the Goddess said, "In the past, the Holy Sword and Unique Skills that Heroes awakened were all different." Consequently, some Heroes would awaken Holy Swords and Unique Skills that were exceptionally powerful, while others were relatively weaker. This would inevitably cause a problem. Which was... "Even a Hero may not defeat the Demon King." Speaking of this, the Goddess's eyes looked somewhat gloomy, or even disappointed. Seeing this, Shane understood. "I never said I couldn't, did I?" The Goddess's face still retained a hint of blush. It seemed that this Goddess was unexpectedly quite innocent. While Shane thought this in his heart, a gaze full of hostility was cast upon him, making his whole body shudder as he quickly focused, clearing all distracting thoughts and stopped imagining nonsense. "Hmph!" The Goddess snorted coldly, stood up, and said, "Let's wrap it up for today, I'll send you back!" Saying this, without giving Shane a chance to react, the Goddess waved her hand, causing the world to twist again. "Wait!" Shane called out hastily, "You haven't told me your name yet!" This was something Shane had wanted to know all along. All this time, Shane only knew her as the Goddess, and now that he knew that this world had more than one God but a Divine Race instead, he naturally wanted to know her name. And then... "Just call me Nien." After saying this, the Goddess who called herself Nien snapped her fingers, and Shane, along with the twisted world around him, disappeared from the Temple. ... In the inn room, Shane opened his eyes and found himself lying back on the bed at some point, as if he had never left. "I'm back already?" Shane seemed unsure, even wondering if what just happened was a Dream. However, the lingering taste of delicious tea in his mouth told Shane that everything that had just happened was definitely not a Dream. "I should've asked more instead of messing around, huh?" After all, Shane still had many things he didn't understand. However... "Speaking of which, the Goddess looked quite cute when she was embarrassed." Shane smiled slyly. And so, the night quietly passed by. ``` Enhance your reading experience by removing ads: Remove Ads Now
