Free Web NovelChapter 511: Chapter 249: The Hero’s Fall into Demon Monarchhood (Part 3)
And chaos evil... that’s purely brainless, without a bottom line, disregarding morals, lacking restraint, and everything is centered around absolute pleasure. If such people become lords, the people living on those lands are doomed for life.
"Wait, explain first, why do you say the order is wrong?" Modus asked.
"Heroes are not born out of thin air; the birth of a hero requires the world to nurture enough power and endow it with the qualities of a hero."
Ye Mingqiu paused for a moment and continued, "But the problem now is that this world seems to lack enough powerful strength to make someone a hero, rather than him being unqualified to become a hero."
"Why?"
"Because of the Black Tide, because of the Raw Stone."
Ye Mingqiu took out the Raw Stone from the Storage Space. Looking at it, he continued, "The power possessed by the world is limited. The Black Tide erodes the world itself, reducing its power. As the world’s power weakens, it must create Raw Stone to suppress the Black Tide."
"And the Raw Stone is a special material composed of the world’s own power, so it cannot be used in any ordinary way. Its level of power is much higher than you imagine."
Ye Mingqiu’s voice paused for a moment, then looked at Adira and asked, "How many Raw Stones are there in this world? How many are used to suppress the Black Tide?"
Adira replied, "As far as we know, there are a total of twelve Raw Stones, of which only two are used to suppress the Black Tide."
"This is the core of the problem."
Ye Mingqiu looked at everyone and said, "The world’s power is used to construct Raw Stones, but the people of this world have not used them to suppress the Black Tide. As a result, the energy consumed by the world has not been compensated by suppressing the Black Tide, leading to a deficit, which in turn causes those with the potential to be heroes unable to become heroes."
"So, in other words, those who privately occupy the Raw Stones are the culprits behind the world’s destruction, the main criminals making the world worse."
"How did you know this..."
Modus asked in astonishment.
"Then let me ask you, when you awakened, did you feel a huge power boost from becoming a hero? Was this power boost significant?" Ye Mingqiu pursued.
"Obviously, the power could be increased by about twenty to thirty percent, which should be considered substantial, right?" Modus said.
"No, under normal circumstances, becoming a hero should increase your strength by two to three times. The fact that you have such power now isn’t because you’re a hero, but because you were already strong before becoming one," Ye Mingqiu said.
"...."
Modus was instantly baffled. Thinking about the power Ye Mingqiu demonstrated and his hero status, he realized the gravity of the situation.
Suddenly, the flames of anger erupted, his body started trembling, and he murmured, "So, after becoming a hero, I didn’t immediately become exceptionally strong, able to save her. Is it really because of those damned aristocrats’ tricks?"
"Yes, under normal circumstances, if you become a hero through the correct channels, you should be able to gain enough power to fully handle disasters and save everything," Ye Mingqiu nodded and said.
"Damn it! Agh! Aaaaah!"
Modus cursed in fury, his once sad and desperate emotions resurfacing, the sense of helplessness engulfing him like a tide.
In the past, he didn’t know; he only thought that becoming a hero wouldn’t immediately make him much stronger. Little did he know that the reason he didn’t transform through changing profession was because the aristocrats occupied the Raw Stones, preventing the world Will from granting enough World Origin to provide heroes with enough power.
Because at that time, he wasn’t strong enough, the tragedy wasn’t averted, and he watched helplessly as his last beloved died, leading him completely into despair, turning him into what he is now.
If it weren’t for those people...
Would my life have been different?
Wouldn’t it?
It definitely would, right?
Modus roared like a beast, angrily smashing things with the Holy Sword, making the abandon house even more decrepit, smashing the corpses into pieces, frantically venting his anger.
He stabbed the Holy Sword into the ground, hitting the earth with a punch, creating massive web-like cracks. The terrifying force formed a powerful storm, scaring Adira, who had never seen Modus so enraged before.
Ye Mingqiu stood quietly aside, shielding the young man from the shockwave.
Then, Modus slowly stood up, his bloodshot eyes opened, looking at Ye Mingqiu.
"Have you made a choice?"
"I... will become the Demon Monarch."
"Interesting."
Ye Mingqiu said with a smile.
