159: The Goddess Summons Again
The Goddess cast her gaze towards Mordoland.
Then, the Goddess of Holy Light witnessed a scene she would likely never forget in her life.
A Dawn Hero she had summoned, whom she barely remembered, was holding a small whip and enslaving the Demon King like a dog.
The scene was too beautiful and too unbelievable, causing the Goddess to stand stunned for a long time before she snapped out of it.
“This situation isn't right, is it!”, she thought.
The last time she saw something similar was when those hateful demonesses seduced the Dawn Heroes whose heros heart had fallen!
However, those scenes were too much to bear and far from as aesthetically pleasing as this one.
Perhaps it was the difference in her mood when observing the two; seeing those brought anger, while witnessing this current scene filled her with exceptional joy.
After the Goddess of Holy Light confirmed she wasn't mistaken and that she hadn't been drinking today, she was absolutely delighted.
She quickly recorded the scene of the Dawn Hero enslaving the Demon King using divine magic, ensuring every detail was perfectly captured.
This would be her capital for showing off among the gods, and material for mocking the demon realm.
At this moment, although the Goddess of Holy Light had forgotten your name, she decided to grant you divine assistance, no matter how poor your talent was.
Divine joy should naturally be shared with mortals!
Compared to those Dawn Heroes who knelt before the ugly demonesses, you, the Dawn Hero who brought her, the Goddess of Holy Light, such glory, truly deserved her favor.
The Goddess began to search for your information, investigating your heroic deeds in Mordoland.
The Dawn Hero who brings light! Dawn Hero Sowen!
You yourself didn't even know your name was Sowen!
Nor did you know which unlucky Dawn Hero you had replaced to jump the queue and transmigrate.
But that didn't stop the Goddess of Holy Light from believing it.
You were once again summoned to the Goddess of Holy Light's temple.
After many years, you once again saw the Goddess covered by three points of holy light.
“Doesn't she know how to wear clothes?”, you wondered.
“Are goddesses really that poor?”
“Being poor is fine, but nutrition shouldn't be lacking; after a few years, she hasn't grown at all!”
Your unstable emotions began to brainstorm uncontrollably in your mind, running wild with imagination.
This time, the Goddess of Holy Light's attitude was much better than the previous time after you drew your talent.
She even reverted to that familiar, subtly manipulative "Goddess green" demeanor.
She first offered a series of condolences, saying you had worked hard all these years and your glory had not gone unnoticed by her.
Then, she playfully winked and said she would give you a reward.
Just as you felt a certain stirring, a card appeared, extinguishing all your restlessness.
The Goddess of Holy Light personally gifted you a Divine Grace Talent Card.
It guaranteed an A-rank talent, with a possibility of drawing an S-rank talent.
This was a random Divine Grace Talent Card.
You didn't stand on ceremony, accepting it and clicking to draw.
You drew the guaranteed talent; clearly, your luck wasn't very good.
A-rank Divine Grace Talent: All-Magic Mastery!
You can learn and master all types of magic!
Although you didn't know how powerful an S-rank Divine Grace truly was, you were already very satisfied with this talent.
Previously, you could only slightly enchant your weapons with a layer of elemental damage.
Even so, the damage amplification was quite considerable.
If you could master elemental magic, the damage you could inflict when mowing down enemies later would be even greater.
From now on, mastering both martial arts and magic—this was the correct way to approach swords and magic.
Although you didn't draw an S-rank talent, the Goddess of Holy Light felt a slight regret, but her attitude towards you remained undiminished.
She also subtly suggested that after you conquer the Demon King in the next world, you should handle the second Demon King just as you dealt with the Rotten Tree Demon King.
She also urged you to quickly conclude your journey as a Dawn Hero on the Continent of Mordoland.
In other words, she wanted you to quickly kill the Rotten Tree Demon King.
Then, the Goddess of Holy Light would guide you to the Continent of Heroes.
That was the main base for all Dawn Heroes.
And every Dawn Hero under a Goddess had a Dawn Hero Guild.
Of course, some excellent Dawn Heroes would attract recruitment from other goddesses.
Between the various Dawn Hero Guilds, poaching incidents were common.
However, a group of youths in their rebellious teenage years became Dawn Heroes.
The various goddesses could easily make them follow devotedly with just a few tricks.
Therefore, although poaching was common, only a few cases were successful.
The Goddess of Holy Light provided you with detailed information about the Continent of Heroes.
When they hadn't yet received their exclusive Dawn Hero mission to save the world and eliminate the Demon King, idle Dawn Heroes could live and cultivate peacefully on the Continent of Heroes.
Or they could accept some assistance quests from other Dawn Heroes.
However, Dawn Heroes posting assistance quests could only seek help from Dawn Heroes one minor tier lower than themselves.
And there was a quota limit.
Otherwise, it would be hard to say who ultimately saved the continent and punished the Demon King.
The Continent of Heroes had numerous cultivation holy lands, and occasionally, gods from the heavens would personally teach Dawn Heroes techniques.
On the Continent of Heroes, completing various quests issued by gods could accumulate Divine Grace Points, which could be exchanged for treasures and used to summon relatives and friends from continents the Dawn Hero had previously conquered.
This made Divine Grace Points a highly sought-after commodity.
Especially for those Dawn Heroes determined to build a harem.
They accumulated Divine Grace Points desperately.
Even then, it wasn't enough to summon all the confidantes they had gathered on the conquered continents to reunite...
Although you felt a bit regretful that you could no longer exploit the Rotten Tree Demon King.
You also genuinely felt that years of simply grinding monsters to stack Slaughter Value had become somewhat tedious.
The monsters transmogrified by the Rotten Tree Demon King were too weak; as you killed them, they couldn't even provide any emotional value anymore.
Although you felt regret, there's a saying that goes, “The next one will be better.”
Feeling the Indestructible Body, which had already accumulated tens of millions of Slaughter Value, you felt a strong sense of security.
Thus, you decisively smashed the Rotten Tree Demon King's head.
This time, you didn't stuff it into your stomach again.
You wondered what the Rotten Tree Demon King's thoughts were before it died—was it fear of death, or a hint of relief at being freed?
