Chapter 142: 141 It’s simply differential treatment (please subscribe! please vote for Monthly ticket!)

“Why would Heroes be far more powerful than the people of this world, to the extent that they are entrusted with the hope of defeating the Demon King?”

“It’s because they possess both the powerful Holy Sword and a Unique Skill.”

The impact of a Unique Skill on one’s strength need not be mentioned again, as it has been addressed many times before. Whether one possesses such a Skill, and how powerful it is, can greatly influence a person’s abilities. Its importance may even surpass that of Level and other Skills, such that any kind of miracle could possibly occur.

Like Shane, if he didn’t have the Unique Skill “Heaven’s Grace,” how could he possibly have slaughtered Beddo, a Level 84 expert from the Demon Clan, as if he were a monkey, when he himself is only at Level 24?

When Shane mentioned that he possessed a Unique Skill, the rest of the escort team no longer doubted his ability to ruthlessly kill Beddo, which shows just how significant the impact of a Unique Skill can be on an individual.

Although it’s true that a Unique Skill might sometimes be useless, Heroes are different from others and usually have quite powerful Unique Skills. This is one of their advantages.

A second advantage is that they all possess a Holy Sword.

This Divine Artifact, born from the concept of the “Hero,” is no less influential on one’s strength than the Hero’s Unique Skill.

If an ordinary person’s strength can be so greatly impacted by having a Unique Skill, then what if they also have a Holy Sword, comparable to a powerful Unique Skill? How could they not be much more powerful than others?

Consequently, if one were to also receive blessings from beings on the level of the Three Great Goddesses, with the three advantages combined, it’d be impossible for a Hero not to be incredibly strong.

Among all past Heroes, even the weakest would probably be more powerful than that Legendary Knight of Level 98 in the Royal Capital. Those who are slightly stronger are no less formidable than the Three Great Goddesses and the Six Great Demons. Hero Mithra, hailed as the strongest of all time a thousand years ago, even managed to defeat the Demon King, which gives some indication of how much their advantages have amplified their strength.

Now, what about that Princess?

A powerful Unique Skill?

She has it.

Blessings from beings on the level of the Three Great Goddesses?

She has them.

Even the Holy Sword, she seems to possess.

With these, compared to a true Hero, she lacks nothing but the setting of being reincarnated from another world.

But let’s not forget, she is from the Royal Family of the Mitra Kingdom, a descendant of the Hero from a thousand years ago.

In other words, strictly speaking, the Princess actually has the blood of Otherworldly People in her.

So, without exaggeration, she is a Hero of this era, just one born and bred in this land.

This made Shane feel somewhat resentful in his heart.

“Why is it that we’re both Heroes, yet you are a beloved Princess, whereas I can’t even reveal my identity?”

How unfair the treatment is!

Of course, one can’t simply equate Shane and the Princess.

Shane was summoned as a Hero, and now, when the war has ended and peace has been achieved among the Three Clans, if the Demon Clan were to learn that the Divine Race was still performing Hero Summoning rituals that were once used against them, it would inevitably provoke significant conflict and contradiction.

But the Princess was just extraordinarily blessed by nature; she was native to this world and surely no one could prevent her birth, could they?

No, that’s not right.

Suddenly, Shane remembered something very important.

“Vivian,” Shane turned to Vivian and, after hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Could it be that, ten years ago, the reason Beddo planned that large-scale assassination event in the Royal Capital was precisely because he was targeting the Princess?”

Yes, Shane had realized this point.

Indeed, the Princess was extraordinarily blessed, and even if the Demon Clan knew that such a modern-day Hero was born, they couldn’t do much to protest such an event.

But it was different with the Old Demon Clan Faction.

They would definitely not want to see another Hero born in this world.

So, it was very possible that they might directly attempt to assassinate the Princess.

And Vivian did not deny it.

“We can’t completely deny that they had such intentions,” Vivian pondered for a moment, then added, “However, this might not have been their direct goal, you never know.”

Shane fell silent immediately.

“Not the direct target?”

What was the direct target?

Shane recalled the matter with Laischa.

Could it be that the true goal of the Old Demon Clan Faction was actually the item in Laischa’s possession?

The one stolen from the Royal Palace, was that really the Old Demon Clan Faction’s true objective?

“Forget it, don’t think about it.”

After all, Beddo and Killian had already returned to dust, overthinking was useless.

Rather than worrying about such matters, Shane was more curious about whether the Holy Sword he saw with the princess was real or not.

Logically speaking, the princess should not possess the Holy Sword.

According to Nien, the Holy Sword was born from the concept of “Hero,” and heroes only had an extremely slim chance of appearing in other worlds; in fact, most worlds lacked heroes, with only a small fraction producing an individual with the potential to become one.

This meant that only Otherworldly People could become heroes, and only they could possess the Holy Sword.

And a Hero’s Holy Sword could neither be abandoned nor transferred.

For example, Shane, even if he buried the Holy Sword, it would return by itself the next day, and due to its exclusivity, no one else could use this Holy Sword.

Hence, only a Hero could use and possess the Holy Sword, and should the Hero die, the Holy Sword would shatter along with them. This was documented in texts.

Then why could the princess possess the Holy Sword?

Could it be that she was actually an Otherworldly Person, summoned here and not born and raised in this world at all?

Shane began to doubt that the princess was summoned before him and that she was summoned as an infant, only to be raised by the Royal Family of this Kingdom.

But had there ever been an instance where two heroes were born in the same era?

Heroes were exceedingly rare, and even scanning all the major other worlds, there likely haven’t been more than ten heroes to date. In such a small number, the odds of two Otherworldly People with Hero potential being born at the same time were incredibly slim.

Moreover, there was something off about the princess’s Holy Sword. Its power was too weak, and it was in a sealed state. What was going on here?

“I can’t figure it out…”

Shane muttered unconsciously.

At that moment, Vivian beside him spoke.

“If you can’t figure it out, then don’t.”

Vivian seemed to think that Shane was pondering the assassination incident from ten years ago, and she patted Shane’s shoulder before speaking up.

“The masterminds are no longer here anyway. Let those who govern handle the complicated matters. We should take this opportunity to enter the Royal Palace and meet the person I want you to meet.”

At her words, Shane snapped out of his thoughts.

“Enter… the Royal Palace?”

“Can we… just go in like that?”

Lu Muya and Merica also became visibly nervous.

“If that were possible, Mr. Bellen and the others wouldn’t have to disband everyone to arrange an audience in the palace,” Tielle said indifferently: “We’re not going to the Royal Palace for an audience; it’s for a private meeting.”

“That’s right.” Vivian nodded and continued, “I have some acquaintance with that princess. Now, she should be very willing to see us.”

That one line left Shane astonished.

“Wait a second…” Shane realized, astonished, “You mean… that princess…?”

Could it be the person he was about to meet was…?

Seeing Shane’s astonished expression, Vivian smiled mischievously.
