Reincarnated Hero System

Whether he knew Evan's thoughts or not, the man continued speaking without caring.

[You faced off against something similar, and though you were a Superior Stage unlike the Intermediate I was then, you still won.]

Suddenly the atmosphere turned dark and the man's voice went deep as he spoke.

|Yet seeing you in such a pitiful state after your victory, irks me. |

Evan could swear the man was speaking directly to his soul, because he heard the voice in his head, heard it with his ears and somehow heard it in his…chest?

[No matter how much that girlfriend of yours tries, even if she consumes all her Skill's power, it would be impossible for her to heal you in one go.

She would be left with a choice:]

EOTD held out his hand and Evan's severed arm flew through the air, landing right into his outstretched palm as he spoke.

[To either ignore all your wounds and restore your heart, and then her remaining power would not be enough to restore your severed arm.

Or she would heal all your wounds and restore your severed arm, and not be left with enough power to restore your heart.]

The young Hero frowned when he heard the man's words, however, he knew best how bad his injuries were and with his understanding of Eliza's power, she would indeed have no choice but to choose one option.

[Your severed arm, or your destroyed heart.]

"And I'm guessing whichever one she chooses to forgo…I may lose it permanently?"

[Basically, yes. Once the healing process is complete, you will not be able to regain the one which was foregone.

And you also know that you may not last long enough to get to a more powerful healer.

That's certainly not a gamble she'd be willing to take as moving you around in your current state would only worsen your situation.]

"…"

Evan didn't know what to say when he heard this. However, the EOTD just laughed at him before saying an unexpected line.

[I'm quite fond of that girl, you see.

Her healing abilities intrigue me, and she actually has a rare case of Polarity Balance. I'm curious to know just how much they would evolve if she is to ever attain c̷̳̟̬̫͉͇̈̇̉̃̌͛͌̔͠i̶͎͚̱̜̦̤̬̘͋̒̎͌͑͠m̷̮͚̤̒͑s̸̨̯̹̈́̅̐͋̎̑̾̾ǫ̸̨̞͎̗̔̔̽̊̈́͑̏̽͝c̴͉̮̓̈́͑̒́̉̈͝ ̵̲̞̫͈͉͊̈́s̷̨̛͚͍̫̈́̿̒̋̆͠ư̸̭̲̝̍͊͋̕͜p̸̢̛͚̞̳͕̺̅̆͒͗̓̾̚ȩ̵͎̭͕̩̖͛̾ȑ̷̦̩̣̞̤ͅị̵͇̪̜̺̖̔͌̔̅̕͝ͅͅo̴̟̣̥͓̊̄̉͒́̒̕ṟ̵̢̲̺̑̋͘ḯ̸̧͎̲͙͑̃̾t̸̢̯̭͍̩͎̑͐̿͝y̶̢̟͈̭̯̥̑͂̕͘͘͝]

Whatever he said at the end of his statement, it wasn't for Evan's ears as the Law of Causality made sure that he didn't hear even a single letter.

The fact that the Law of Causality restricted him from hearing it, meant that whatever he said had the potential to give Evan power simply by knowing about it.

[Anyway, I don't want to see her disheartened due to being forced to make such a choice. You don't know it, but you're far more important to that girl than she lets on.

She loves you so sooo much, that she'd feel like it's her fault for not being good enough to heal you if she's forced to make that choice.

I know she would…I saw it happen, after all.]

"…"

Considering this man—the one who saw the future of Aidos and helped Artemisia create the simulation that was Aidos Online based on the future he saw—had unimaginable Temporal powers, Evan was 99% sure his words were the truth.

The remaining 1%, was the chance he just wanted to mess with Evan mentally.

[Hmm…good thought. Never trust anyone 100%. Especially old and powerful beings.

You have no idea what bullshit they can do just for 'entertainment'.]

EOTD casually read Evan's thoughts and expressed his satisfaction, before snapping back to the main subject of conversation.

[Back to your dear girlfriend, I don't want her to be forced to make such a choice, so I would help you.]

The man walked up to Evan and poked the hole in the boy's chest where his heart used to be before speaking.

|TMagic: Delayed Restoration. |

For the first time, Evan witnessed the activation of a Tier 7 magic spell.

'I didn't even try to mimic it yet!'

[That would not be wise. Tier 7 is magic for 'Higher Existences'. You'd have to be at least Transcendent to do anything about it.]

EOTD spoke as he took his finger out of the hole in Evan's chest. Right after, an illusory blue clock manifested there and it began counting down.

[That clock is invisible to anyone but you. Once that countdown ends, your Destroyed Heart will be restored. Every single piece fit back in place like nothing ever happened.]

Evan couldn't help but feel amazed, and mixed in with his amazement was his gratitude which he did not forget to express.

"Thank you."

[You're welcome.]

EOTD then walked over to where Darfin's body was and spoke.

[I can more or less guess what you want to do by dragging this fool's body here.]

He was about to kick the man but he stopped his leg midway and put it back down.

"?"

[My definition of a 'light kick' would delete him from existence.]

He answered Evan's unspoken question before walking over the body and then snapping his fingers. Evan's inventory opened and the camera and magic recording stones he wanted to use flew out and arranged themselves in front of him.

[You have 12 hours to finish all you want to. After which your heart would begin restoration and you would fall unconscious.]

"Huh? Why?"

[Are you really asking this?]

The man sounded exasperated as he spoke, before pulling up Evan's status in front of him and displaying it.

[You've grown stronger. You are now Level 499 and your stat levels have increased.

Your Heart is being restored to the state it was in the past, before your fight with that lot. Since your heart was weaker before the fight…]

"…it'd have to evolve to match my current strength and be strong enough tomaitainmy body."

[Seems that S+ intelligence stat isn't being wasted.]

The man spoke as he dismissed Evan's status and then looked up at the afternoon sky before speaking.

[Anyway, a twist of fate, this is.]

Evan raised a brow in question and the man turned around before uttering a statement that shocked him to the core.

[Who would have guessed that both you and Artemisia would be in 'Life-Threatening Situations' at the stime?]

"What? What happened to Artemisia?!"

The young Hero's reaction seemed to delight the man as he chuckled before shaking his head and replying.

[That's not something you're supposed to know. Rest assured, Artemisia would not die from this much.

That 'little girl' has seen far much worse than you can imagine.]

Leaving aside him referring to Artemisia as a 'little girl', the man continued speaking, leaving one last statement that shocked Evan even more so than the news of Artemisia's plight.

[Besides, even if all the gods in the Universe combined their powerstogether, they still wouldn't be able to kill Artemisia.]

The footsteps began fading into the distance and then colour returned to the world.

[See you around, Evan.]

With those words, EOTD left the plto somewhere Evan did not know, leaving the boy who looked down on his chest and saw the illusory blue block counting down silently.

Evan sighed softly and got to his feet, wiping the blood off his eye before grabbing Darfin's body as he spoke.

"I don't know about all this bullshit with gods but you better don't die out there, Artemisia. You still got wishes to fulfil for me."

◇ ◇ ◇

'Why do I feel like someone is saying something about me?'

That thought crossed through the mind of 'god Queen' Artemisia as she heaved a heavy sigh, before looking down at her cracked blade.

The goddess was down on one knee, golden blood all over her clothes as she supported her body with the cracked sword in her hands.

Stabbed into her shoulder, was the broken-off piece of a sword and piercing right through her back was a barbed spear coated in dense gravitational law power.

Artemisia grabbed the barbed spear with her left hand and yanked it out of her back, stifling the grunt of pain that threatened to escape her lips.

She imbued her Divinity with life-law energy and scanned her body to analyse her situation before shrugging her shoulders and muttering.

"Yeah…I've seen worse days."

Artemisia muttered to herself as she got to her feet, glancing down at her clothes. Her white suit and black overcoat were now covered in golden blood.

The golden blood of the gods.

She slowly sheathed her sword and the enormous black-gold divinity that was escaping from it was sealed.

Glancing around her, she took in the sight around her.

The 'sky' above her was constituted of nothing but clusters upon clusters of a certain type of essence of utter destruction.

It wasn't the law of destruction's power, however. Follow current s on ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

It was something different.

Something…dead.
