Capítulo 1136: Chapter 996: Hero
“What is this…?”
The abnormality of the Holy Sword made Shane feel power surging through his body, awakening to the genuine sensation of his gradual strengthening.
He sank his consciousness deeper into his body, focusing on the location of the Holy Sword.
At this glance, Shane couldn’t help but be slightly startled.
Because, within his sea of consciousness, a drastic change was also taking place.
Previously bathing in the red and blue brilliance, the two treasures had already erged from the glow symbolizing their respective powers, like two stars roaming and spinning continuously in the sea of consciousness.
anwhile, the Holy Sword bathed in golden brilliance rapidly absorbed the golden, red, and blue lights.
Or rather, the three-colored light was swiftly rging into the Holy Sword, integrating with it entirely.
At this sight, Shane almost instantly understood what it represented.
“Are the Three Supre Powers within rging into the Holy Sword?”
No.
To be precise, the Three Supre Powers within Shane should be rging into him.
“The Holy Sword is the avatar of the Hero, akin to a counterpart, fully integrated as one with the Hero.”
“Its existence is akin to the relationship and significance between the Demon King’s Treasure and the Goddess’ Treasure, as related to the Demon King and Goddess.”
“The fusion of the Three Supre Powers with it is synonymous with their integration with .”
“Rather, the Holy Sword is essentially the source and core of myself as the Hero, akin to the relationship with the treasures and those two entities.”
“Thus, under my circumstances of transcendence, it naturally awakens, integrating with the Holy Sword.”
Only through fusion with the Holy Sword can Shane, as the Hero, truly be integrated thoroughly.
Of course, when it cos to other powers, they don’t even qualify to fuse with the Holy Sword.
Like the levels and skills Shane seized from the World’s Principle, they integrate solely with Shane, not with the Holy Sword.
Though Shane has strengthened through these powers, the Holy Sword remains his fundantal essence.
This relationship wasn’t as intense before, but it has now completely transford.
Shane has a feeling.
“The role of the Holy Sword now is nearly identical to the Demon King’s Treasure and the Goddess’ Treasure.”
What does this imply?
It implies Shane might similarly attain the concept of undying immortality, like the Demon King and Supre God.
As long as the Holy Sword remains intact, even should he perish, he would revive.
As long as the Holy Sword doesn’t shatter, no matter how many tis he fails, he can always make a coback.
The notion that could genuinely bring Shane’s demise may no longer exist.
If one seeks to prevent his presence in this world, the only option would be akin to the Demon King, by removing his Holy Sword post-mortem, suppressing or sealing it with a power of the equivalent level, hindering his resurrection.
From this mont on, the Holy Sword symbolizes the source and concept of his existence.
To suppress the Holy Sword and prevent his resurrection, it’s clear that only the supre two—the Demon King and Supre God—can achieve this.
“This transformation, surely, only I alone possess?”
Shane can be certainly sure.
The reason being none other.
Other Heroes, even the seven who attained transcendence, eventually perished.
And upon their deaths, their Holy Swords imdiately shattered, disappearing eternally from this world.
The sole exception is Hero Mithra.
But Mithra succeeded through a special thod, a special ceremony, sacrificing himself for the Holy Sword, fulfilling the condition “he didn’t perish, but remained with the Holy Sword,” thereby successfully retaining his Holy Sword.
Yet the Holy Sword remained, while he himself was still gone.
As for revival, not even a shadow of it has been seen.
Only Shane, having fused the Three Supre Powers and gained the Three Supre Concepts, possesses the similar traits to the Demon King and Supre God.
“Could this be the true form of the ‘Hero’ concept, capable of standing equally with the supre concepts ‘Demon King’ and ‘Goddess’?”
Shane has an epiphany.
“Could this be the stance a true Hero should possess, the way they should exist?”
As a heaven-sent miracle, existing in the world, yet unable to be born due to the world’s capacity limit, the third supre concept, the Hero, indeed isn’t as fortunate as the Demon King and Goddess, inherently immortal and invincible, seated high above the heavens.
Yet, it remains the third supre concept, containing the possibility to sit above the heavens despite not being born smoothly.
Now, Shane might have acquired that possibility.
And this possibility remains unique to him alone.
After all, the only one who could possess half of the Demon King and the Supre Goddess’s powers, blend them seamlessly with the power of the Hero, and form a reciprocal cycle among the three major concepts, was Shane.
For other Heroes, even if they found so way to acquire the Demon King and the Supre God’s powers, these two forces could never rge with them without resistance.
Furthermore, Shane vaguely understood that to form such a perfect cycle where powers could rge smoothly, the three concepts had to be equal to each other.
In other words, the Hero’s power needed to be strong enough, and the powers obtained from the Demon King and the Supre God also needed to reach a certain magnitude.
Shane’s Holy Sword was rated as the strongest Holy Sword of all generations, far surpassing Hero Mithra, thus fulfilling the first condition.
The second condition required that both the Demon King and the Supre Goddess willingly relinquish half of their powers, to truly et the second requirent.
If any future Hero wished to reach such a realm, they would not only need a Holy Sword as powerful as Shane’s but also need the Demon King and the Supre Goddess to willingly grant them half their powers.
But whether the Demon King and Supre Goddess would be willing is another matter; their powers are already halved, and giving away more would leave them with nothing.
Furthermore, for the Three Supre Powers to perfectly integrate, the Hero must achieve transcendence, and the relationships among the Hero, Demon King, and Supre God must be extraordinary.
Such conditions were only fulfilled by the First Generation Brave, Shane’s mother, while Shane simply reaped the benefits.
Shane even suspected that the smooth fusion of powers into himself might have been aided by the Demon King’s Treasure and the Goddess’s Treasure.
In other words…
“Did the Demon King and Supre Goddess help reach this realm?”
Shane’s mood grew sowhat complicated.
Additionally, Shane could sense that, from this mont onward, no new Heroes would be born.
Just as there is only one Demon King and one Supre Goddess, the supre concept can never have a second possessor.
In the past, it was different: the supre concept of Heroes was not yet complete, so no one could reach such a realm, allowing for widespread summoning.
But from the mont Shane reached this realm, the supre concept of the Hero had taken shape.
If the past Heroes were rely potential candidates for the supre concept of “Hero,” then Shane beca the official possessor, transitioning from a candidate to its true inheritor.
From this mont onward, the concept of “Hero” exists solely within him, being completed by him, and future aspirants, even with the qualifications for becoming a Hero, could not awaken as Heroes, nor wield a Holy Sword.
The existence known as “Hero” would, from now on, belong solely to Shane.
“…I have a feeling my transcendence has beco an even more remarkable matter than I imagined.”
Might that Supre Goddess have foreseen this situation long ago?
As the architect of the concept of “Hero” and its cultivator, who went so far as to create the Great Secret Rite of Hero Summoning and countless otherworlds as a nursery for humans with the qualities of a Hero, the Supre Goddess surely knew how to complete the concept of “Hero.”
When the Three Supre Powers gathered and appeared in the First Generation Brave, that All-Powerful Goddess might have already glimpsed this possibility and discovered this secret.
However, by then, anything she wanted to do was already too late.
It was only with the appearance of the descendants who inherited the powers of the First Generation Brave’s close friend that the Supre Goddess had another opportunity to promote this great cause.
“Did she send the Treasure Jade to for this reason?”
Shane felt he had grasped the truth.
Even the Demon King’s Treasure; perhaps the reason the other party was willing to let it enter his body was partially because the Supre Goddess hoped to facilitate this event.
Otherwise, everything would seem too coincidental, too rhythmic.
The other party likely wished to use this opportunity to completely transform Shane, the son of an old friend, into the true possessor of the Hero concept and hoped Shane could nd the imnse regrets they had left behind.
“Truly…”
At this point, even Shane’s expression had beco complex.
In such a situation, without even realizing it, the glow representing levels, skills, and skill points within Shane had completely integrated into his body.
The Holy Sword also absorbed the tricolor light, rging the Three Supre Powers into itself, undergoing unimaginable changes.
It suddenly transford into a golden Holy Sword, shining with brilliant light and releasing a Holy Wave.
It suddenly transford into a blue Divine Sword, glowing softly and releasing All-Powerful Power.
It suddenly transford into a red Magical Sword, glowing deeply and releasing world-destroying power.
— “Holy.”
— “Divine.”
— “Demon.”
The Three Supre Concepts and Powers thus were completely absorbed into the sword and rged into Shane’s entire being.
In Shane’s mind, the display panel that could previously show “levels” and “skills” at will had vanished.
The paraters and effects of the Holy Sword also disappeared, no longer viewable in concrete data form.
Finally, even the Unique Skills completely vanished.
In the room, Shane opened his eyes.
Inside, brilliant lights flickered.
