A visit to the Hiro's Master

This Deus is unpredictable, indeed. I can't guess any of his thoughts…'

At this moment, the other soul inside her body spoke up. The two thought the same right now.

'Contrary to what I thought, Young Lord didn't take advantage of our vulnerability. It seems I was biased and vilified him…'

'Thinking of him like that, it seems I was too narrow-minded!'

Helene couldn't help but reprimand herself after leaving Deus's place. Unbeknownst to her, her mood had brightened up, and she didn't look as lifeless and anxious as before.

And as Helene thought about the recent happenings, she realized that Young Lord had indeed done nothing wrong!

She was sent to his palace the night before that, but he hadn't given her as much as a glance. It was as if he couldn't be bothered by her existence.

She couldn't understand how she failed to see all that with her shrewdness? It seemed that she had muddled her judgement because of the bias and pressure she bore over the last few days.

Helene couldn't help but feel guilt rise in her heart as she thought about everything. Why did she even believe that Deus was an evil person before?

[Ding! Helene's opinion of the Host has changed. Devil Value increased by 20 Points. Choas Points increased by 100 Points.]

The System prompt suddenly rang in Deus's mind, and he was left speechless by the System's message.

Was Helene trying to self-correct her thoughts and beliefs regarding him, rationalizing all of his actions?

But that was good, too!

It's just that Deus hadn't thought his first bucket of Devil Value would come from the heroine, instead of the protagonist.

Well, it didn't matter where he got it from.

What's more? He had earned quite a large amount Choas Points today. His heart burst with joy over the great haul.

400 Points.

200 Points.

100 Points.

All-in-all, he made a total of 700 Choas Points without breaking a sweat. More than that, he had kicked Hiro's Fortune around 300 Points.

It won't be long before the Fortune around this Favored Son of Heaven disappeared and he perished under his hand.

Deus's mood brightened up.

Still, he didn't rush to use these 700 Choas Points. He was going to save up a 1000 Points to open the System Mall — he must see what great stuff could be obtained from inside there.

Although he wasn't lacking in Mystical Abilities and Techniques, but what if he could get something even stronger from the System? Won't he soar to Heaven faster with that?

And now that his preparations were almost done, it was time for him to start with Hiro's Grandpa!

[Inside the dim and damp Dungeon.]

Hiro cut a sorry figure with his drooping head and unkempt hair. He had suffered much over the last three days of solitude. There was no one guarding his cell, nor did anyone come to visit him — it was as if the world had abandoned him.

His hatred for Deus had gone through the roof, and he couldn't wait to cut the man in a million pieces.

But suddenly, a shocked expression appeared on Hiro's face as he saw the person he had cursed countless times over the last three days. The one person he didn't want to see was heading towards his direction, led by a disciple of Ethereal Phoenix Sect.

"Young Lord , everything will be according to your desire! This is where we imprisoned Hiro during this time."

Deus walked behind the disciple and soon arrived before Hiro's cell.

"I see. You may leave now."

Deus indifferently nodded to the disciple, and the disciple dared not stay after he heard the command.

Now was a good time to see how well the Protagonist, Hiro, was doing now.

Just one look was enough for him to know that Hiro had gone through quite a miserable time after his imprisonment. To please him, the Ethereal Phoenix Sect had commanded Hiro to be kept in complete solitude…to the point that he wasn't even given a drop of water over the last three days.

The Favored Son of Heaven had a disheveled appearance, and he looked pitiful beyond measure. Of course, Deus had no intention of showing him any mercy.

After all, the moment Hiro obtained the ability to deal with him, he would undoubtedly not let him off. There was no way Hiro could wait to scatter his ashes in the world.

"Deus, what do you want?"

Hiro roared towards Deus, feeling that his adversary had arrived with evil intentions. His subconscious mind believed that Deus had arrived to end his life.

"Obviously, I came to see you."

"Ah! That's not right; to be precise, I came to see your Master."

Deus smiled and bluntly pointed out Hiro's secret.

"You…what do you mean? I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Hiro's complexion paled, and he panicked. Deus's sudden words had stunned him.

After all, how could Deus know about his Master's existence? It was a secret no one apart from him knew about!

Hiro's couldn't help but feel his limbs turn cold. In front of Deus, he felt like an ant that couldn't hide any of its secrets.

"Don't try to pretend; do you think you can trick me with that expression on your face?" Deus sneered, and then continued, "Senior, are you not going to show yourself? Or do you want to tide through this using petty tricks? An Elder like you doing something like that won't look good."

As Deus said those words, his gaze landed on the ring on Hiro's finger. This one look from him made Hiro's heart sink. Not only did Deus knew about his Master's existence, but he could also tell where his Master hid.

"Is there a need for Young Lord to embarrass me like this?"

A faint sigh sounded from Hiro's pendant at this time. Although the voice sounded pleasant, one could hear a sense of helplessness lacing her words.

As the words fell, a burst of red flashed in front of Deus, and a figure dressed in red appeared out of thin air.

"Master?"
