Talent Swallowing Hero

Somewhere in the endless space,

'Huh? Why am I here?'

Leo looked around to see the endless space and frowned.

Earlier, when he opened the portal to the human world from the Mighty Goblin World, Leo saw a bright light that blinded him and by the time he opened his eyes, he was in this endless space.

'Don't tell me it is because of that b*stard…'

[The Ancient God has sensed some kind of abnormal power inside the returner of the Nameless Human World]

Before Leo could finish his line of thoughts, he heard a familiar voice resounding from all directions in the endless space.

'This is definitely…this b*stard's work.'

Once he heard that voice, Leo was sure that the Ancient God who was in charge of the nameless human world was stopping him from returning to the human world.

Leo was furious for a moment; however, he calmed down in the next second when he thought of something.

[The returner will be allowed to enter the nameless human world after three days when the Ancient God checks that abnormality. Please wait patiently in the endless space]

The Ancient God who was observing Leo from somewhere revealed an evil smile and ended his words.

'I didn't expect this b*stard to leave the world just before the world assessment. It's definitely my lucky day.'

The Ancient God silently muttered to himself and continued thinking, 'I was racking my brain to come up with some tricks to stop him from participating in the World Assessment and now, I don't have to worry and just use my regular tricks.'

"Ancient God, I am willing to wait three days; however, I will be bored to death in this endless space."

Leo revealed a slight smile on his face as he asked, "Why don't you let me watch how the World Assessment is going on?"

'Huh?'

The Ancient God raised his eyebrows when he heard Leo's sudden request because he was not expecting Leo to accept the weird rule he set so soon.

'Since he had some sponsor backing him, let's fulfil his simple request.'

After thinking for a moment, the Ancient God decided to let Leo watch the world assessment of the Nameless human world.

Even though the Ancient God still didn't know which god was sponsoring Leo, he didn't want to get onto the badside because he knew the rules he created during the world assessments were not genuine.

'If his sponsors bring this matter to the celestial gods and make some noise about it, it brings unnecessary attention and troubles. So, it's better to give him what he wants.'

This was what the Ancient God thought in his head and at the same time, he knew that fulfilling Leo's request, it won't affect the World Assessment in any way.

'Swoosh'

Soon, multiple screens appeared around Leo, covering what was happening around each city on each screen.

"Hm"

Leo didn't bother to thank the Ancient God and started watching it.

'What an respectful b*stard! As long as I find whose this b*stard's sponsor is, I will directly show him the real hell.'

For now, the Ancient God's full focus was on failing the nameless human world from passing the world assessment and decided to focus on Leo later.

"Huh? Survival time for the first stage is 12 hours. Even without me, he is still playing dirty?"

Leo shook his head as he first checked how his cities were performing in stage one of the world assessment.

….

New Starlight City,

In the entire human world, the New Starlight City could be considered the strongest city because it was filled with people who follow not only the [Path of the Heroes] but they also follow the [Cultivation Path].

What's more, the city already has more than 100 supreme-grade heroes with supreme-grade starlight cultivation.

"For stage 1, not a single supreme grade starlight warrior should participate. Let the mortal grade starlight warriors complete stage 1."

As the city leader of the New Starlight City, Arlo gave his command in a serious tone and behind him, his sister Aurora nodded her head and gave her full support to him.

"Yes, City Leader."

All the supreme grade starlight warriors nodded their heads.

As the citizens of the subsidiary city of the Golden Hawk City, they get five times the experience points from killing their targets.

Most of the monsters in stage 1 are mortal grade, so it won't be much of a help for the supreme grade warriors; however, it would be a completely different story for the mortal grade warriors.

Hence, Arlo gave that command that the supreme-grade cultivators and heroes would be on standby and take action only when it was necessary.

[Starlight Steps]

[Starlight Blade]

[Starlight Armour]

.

.

The mortal-grade starlight warriors rushed at the incoming monsters and used all their cultivation techniques along with their talents to massacre them.

Thanks to the boost from the City Booster, the levels of their talents were increasing at an incredible speed, making everyone excited.

Not only the New Starlight City, but the other cities in the world were also doing the same; however, some cities lack the number of powerful mortal-grade heroes.

Therefore, supreme-ranked heroes joined the battle to stop the incoming monsters from invading the cities.

Each city was protected by a team of Leo's followers who were using the special boost of 10x experience points to break into the supreme grade.

Of course, there were also supreme-ranked heroes, monsters and beasts in that team of Leo's followers; however, they were on standby just like the New Starlight City, giving the chance for the mortal grade heroes to become the supreme-grade warriors.

…

In Golden Hawk City,

"[Dawn Regiment], everyone has awakened two normal talents and a special talent, right?"

Victor looked at the 10000-men army in front of him and shouted out loud, "The Golden Hawk City will no longer be in Stealth Mode."

"You are trained for this moment for the last few days. Kill the monsters and upgrade your talents."

"By the time this stage is clear, I want everyone to reach at least rank 7 and become the Advanced Heroes. Those who can't achieve that goal would be kicked out of the [Dawn Regiment]."

"Do you understand?"

Victor gave all his commands and asked the 10000-men with a serious look on his face.

"Understood, Sir."

Everyone said in unison in excited tones, making Vladimir surprised.

"Now, go and make proper use of the gifts you received from Master Leo along with the city booster that gives you a 10x boost in your experience points."

Victor didn't have much experience in managing the human army; however, he had managed the monster and beast armies before.

Therefore, he gave simple orders in an effective tone.

"Brother, they only received training for a few days. Do you think…"

Vladimir understood what his master and brother were trying to do with the [Dawn Regiment]; however, he felt it wouldn't work.

So, he tried to say that to his brother; however, before he could finish his words, he saw the 10000 men in the [Dawn Regiment] rushed out of the city and each man killed more than two basic ranked monsters and one elite ranked monster without using their talent.
