GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1887: The Purpose Of Heroes.

The figure said, "If you didn't know, I will tell you. I offered you, Black Knife, a contract because you were resourceful. You are not the most powerful trainee, but you still became the first and the only trainee to own a Legendary weapon. That is a worthy achievement."

"I offered you, Sharon, a contract because you were willing to do anything for success. Not only were you talented, you were also the only one to clear an S-ranked mission on your own."

That made Taylo widen his eyes in disbelief. It is because every S-ranked mission was a mission against a powerful army. It was not something a single person could overcome. At least not at tier 1. He knew that from experience because he had tried many times to clear one on his own and failed every time.

Legion continued, "Then there is you, Taylor. I offered you the contract because you were a talented mortal."

"There were other, more talented mortals than you and also far more powerful mortals. I offered them contracts too. But do you know why you became a hero instead of them? It is because you signed the contract first."

"The same goes for all of you. The three of you became my heroes because you were the first three to sign the contract. You were not the only ones I offered the contract to, but you were the ones desperate enough or quick enough to sign off on it."

"What is my point here? My point is that you are here by chance. Your talent only gave you the opportunity to be here, but it was by chance that it was the three of you who became my heroes. Someone else could have taken your place, and it wouldn't have made a difference to me."

"I am a god, and you are mortals. You are all weak. You are all ants. Anyone of you will be able to achieve greatness as long as they become heroes. And any one of you would have been suitable for my purpose as long as I make them heroes."

Legion paused to look at them. Then he continued, "Now onto the most important matter. What is your purpose? Why did I want heroes if I am so strong? You are to be tools that cannot die."

"I have more powerful mortal tools than you. Look around you. Any of my priests can easily defeat you. This fact might not be so in the future, but for now and the foreseeable future, you three will be weak mortal tools."

"Where you are special is that you cannot be extinguished. I can use you over and over again without fear of breaking you. And when you break, I can put you back together again. That's what it means to be a hero for a god."

There was a pause and a silence that allowed those words to sink in. Then the god continued, "I hope you understand what I mean and prepare yourself mentally for it. It doesn't matter if you don't; you will get enough work to come to terms with your situation soon."

"But fret not; you will not be used without rewards. After all, a weak tool will be of little use to me. An inextinguishable tool is good, but a sharp inextinguishable tool is better."

"Now for a final warning. I know that some of you think of this as some sort of game, but this is not a game to me. You will either be for me or against me. If you are against me, I will destroy you. If you are for me, then you must be useful to me, or I will strip you of your power and give it to someone else. Don't disappoint me." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"That will be all for now. You will answer to my Oracles. They are my mouthpiece in the mortal realm. They will give you instructions, and you must obey them."

He left them then and flew into the Thames kingdom for another round of reconnaissance and bullying before the war will eventually start. As for the heroes, his Oracle presented them with their divine weapons and their first pay of divine gold.

Black Knife got a cloak that can hide him and gives him a speed boost of 200 points. Sharon got a magical staff with a boost to spirit of 200 points.

Taylor got a sword that can destroy mortal weapons on contact. The sword also boosted his speed and strength by 100 points each. It was as if he had two Legendary weapons.

With the sword, his attack speed has increased while his power with a strength of 5 points has reached 1,260. No mortal has enough hit points to take a single unprotected hit from him.

He doesn't even need to hit weak points for critical hits. He can bisect an armored giant from head to navel with a single strike. The sword is that dangerous.

They were then given 10 divine gold and a week to prepare for the war. But first, he had to bond with the divine weapon. He put some of his blood on it and fainted as the sword began to glow.

When he woke up, he found himself back on earth. His mind was groggy for a while, so he found it difficult to remember where he was and how he got there.

While he was struggling to do so, a headache was pounding his head, threatening to split it open.

"Did I drink last night? What's with the weird dream I had and this killer hangover?"

He thought he had dreamt up his experience of God's Domain. But then he tried to move his left arm and realized that it wasn't a dream. His experience these past few months appeared clearly in his mind again.

He said with dawning realization, "It wasn't a dream."

Then he chuckled and said, "I guess this is the Dream-reality confusion that the Heavenly Corporation warned us about."
