Chapter 105 - 98: A Warning to Keiko

Hikaru continued "executing" them. Thousands died that day, but he didn't care. He didn't feel any guilt due to his justification that all of them were evil people, or it's just that he was too used to this kind of thing.

And so, he continued his regular routine of killing nobles and watching the people he dislikes suffer.

And so, December arrived. This is his own calendar in this world, he's been counting every single day he's been here. The months in this world had other names. Like, December here is Dragon. While January is Slime. They just based the months off of the creatures that exist in this world, since they didn't care that much.

He gave Hiroshi 1000 Divine Blessings, so that whenever he's extremely wounded he would be able to heal instantly. He healed his arm back and is now able to battle more efficiently.

As all of this happened, Hikaru didn't forget about the Royal Academy. He changed it completely from the inside out. He first killed the academy staff that tampered with other students' grades just to kick them out, those were the poor students that came from commoner families. He beheaded the staff, along with the headmaster, and then he purged out the talentless students from the academy.

He then changed the staffs with veteran Adventurers.

And for an entire day, he searched the entire kingdom for talented children. He didn't care if they were from a family of slaves, or from a family of nobles, he took them all in. It was easy finding them, since he can just use his mana sense to search for individuals with high mana energy. He found too many talented children, and even those who are talented with melee weapons.

Of course, there are children that are way below the enrolling age. So, he gave them a pass that will enroll them into the academy without any problems.

As he did all of those, his reputation with the people of the Kingdom skyrocketed. He was viewed as a kind and benevolent King. It was even rumored that a lot of people from the slums that became criminals, changed their ways and became kind people due to the King.

Now, everybody can enroll in the Royal Academy even if they're slaves themselves.

But then, when they woke up in the morning, the King had already abolished the slavery businesses that were going around the Capital. The bodies of the slave merchants were paraded throughout the Capital, all of them were tortured to death.

The King himself destroyed the entire illegal circles of wanted criminals, freed a lot of people that were suffering there, executed drug lords, more slave merchants, and any head of every illegal businesses that existed in the Kingdom.

Before the month of Dragon came, the entire Capital was already purged.

But it did not end with just that, the church of the goddess that was in the Capital, told everyone that the King is an evil being who will only bring destruction to everyone.

But the people didn't believe them and started rallying against them. Some fanatics were yelling crazy things about the goddess being angry, but the people of the Kingdom didn't care. That King of theirs helped them more than the church could, and now they say that their King is evil?

That is pure bullshit.

And now, it came to this.

(Scene Break)

Hikaru floated atop the church with his piercing gaze. He knew that the church of the goddess was connected to crimes like human trafficking. Obliterating them now is the most efficient way to get rid of them for good.

The church below him was huge. The church looked simple if they're talking about decorations, but he knew that there's something more under that.

He narrowed his eyes as he saw people in white robes walking out of the church. There are a hundred of them or so. There was also a pope among them, but that means the head of the church personally came out.

The pope was an old man with skinny features, sunken eyes, pale skin, long withering hair, and a tall figure. He looks like he's about to die, but Hikaru knew more. That old man seems to be using the life force of others to fuel his own. But he can't take away their youth, that's why he looks like this.

"What can we do for you?" The pope asked. His voice was deep and there was something wrong with his throat. He sounded almost like a zombie.

Hikaru noticed that the pope didn't say "Your highness" or "Your majesty". This old man must be an arrogant man, but Hikaru can change that.

He floated down and landed in front of the priests and cardinals of the church.

"Hmm, that worthless goddess of yours seems to have a talent for gathering fanatics for her." He said with the intent of insulting them.

"Don't you dar-

*POP*

The priest who spoke couldn't finish his sentence when his head popped. Blood spurted everywhere, and the other priests started screaming in fear.

"Aaaaahhh! Blood!"

"Kyaaahh!"

Hikaru smirked and said, "Speaking like that to me won't help your church, you know? I came here today to destroy your church, and execute all of you for crimes of treason against the Crown. You know that much at least, right? Pope?"

The pope glared at him and spoke, "You are far too arrogant, young King. The goddess will smite you for your sins!"

"Hah! She? Smite me for my sins? Hahahahaha!" He laughed hard, "What sins are you talking about, pope? I am far stronger than your goddess, I can probably beat her with just my erect d.i.c.k! How laughable!"

"You and your vulgar mouth!" The Pope yelled in anger.

Hikaru didn't speak any longer and, with a snap of his fingers, all the people around the Pope dropped dead on the ground.

He then disappeared and appeared in front of the Pope. He grabbed the neck of the old pope, lifted him up, and said, "You feeble old man, a huge hypocrite like you shouldn't exist. You accuse me of sins, yet did you ever look at your own sins? You are worse than me."

*Cracked* *Squelch*

Without any hesitations, he crushed the Pope's neck into a bloody mess. The head of the Pope dropped to the ground along with the body but separately.

He then took the Pope's soul and destroyed it.

He dusted off his hands and said to himself as he started flying, "Hmm, what should I eat for dinner tonight?"

(Scene Break)

Hikaru has been saving up to this day for a very special potion. That potion can allow him to turn into a human for 24 hours. Yes, you read that right, it's a potion that can turn him into a human for a day. You may see this as useless, but the great thing about that potion is that his s.e.m.e.n can actually i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e someone. And there's a 100% Chance guarantee that he will get twins, instead of just one.

And there's a 50% chance that he will get a triplet, a 10% chance that he will get quadruplets, and a 1% chance that he will get a quintuplet.

All of this information was provided by the system. The only problem was the price, it was 1 Trillion Souls per potion. It was as if the system was trying to make him give up on the potion.

The potion is called "A Taste of Humanity".

And now, he has 1,100,000,000,000 Souls. It was more than enough for him to buy that potion, and he can finally i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e Azumi and Hinata later once he returns to the Elemental Nation. He's almost done with this planet anyway. The only thing he's waiting for is for the Demonic Empire and Beastmen Kingdom to form their treaty and invade the Kingdom of Humans.

He's already caught a whiff of what's going on, he's just waiting right now. He'll destroy their armies and bring them into the depths of despair. He'll force them to form a treaty with the Kingdom of Humans. He'll leave the Elven Kingdom to Hiroshi's hands, he is sure that Hiroshi will be able to form a treaty with them.

Once peace comes, he'll leave this planet and return to Azumi and Hinata. After that, he'll wait for 9 month to kill Chaortos. He's already done his preparations to beat Chaortos, and he made sure that he will win this battle.

After all, he wouldn't fight a losing battle now, would he?

(Scene Change)

The dark hero, Kyouga Sumitsu. He was a nerd who was once bullied by the delinquents in the school, now he's the one bullying them. He became exactly like his bullies and bullied other people too. But he is an S-Rank hero, so they couldn't do anything since he was favored by the goddess. He has short black hair, round face, small eyes, and a bob haircut.

The healer hero, Saiko Matsunaki. She is looked down by the other S-Ranks due to her abilities being too useless, since they could just drink high-ranked potions. But she proved to be useful when they lost their limbs while fighting monsters. She could regenerate their limbs instantly with her healing magic, but at a cost. She felt the physical pain of the people she healed, thus causing PTSD. She feared healing people, because she knew that their pain would be transferred to her. But since she was weak, she was forced to eat a drug that will numb her nervous system at the cause of her brain being numb too.

The group of heroes forced her to heal for them, and she is fed with that drug to cancel all the pain she's feeling. She became an addict, and her brain turned to mush. Now, she's nothing but a slave for the heroes.

Then there's the brawler hero, he personally discarded his name and named himself Death Rider. By his name, you can guess that he's a weeb. He found that name cool and stuck with it. There's nothing really special about him, except him being an S-Class. But, the thing is, he is a huge pervert. No, he doesn't harass girls, he harasses boys. He would peek on them while they're washing themselves, or he would touch them in inappropriate places. But even then, they couldn't do anything. He was too strong.

The boys in the group of heroes endured his s.e.x.u.a.l harassment towards them, since they couldn't do anything.

And Keiko Sumihara, the Spear Hero. We all know about her, so let's move one.

The heroes were planning to do a coup d'etat.

Keiko was against it, since she knew just how powerful the King is but the others didn't care. They said that the goddess is protecting them, so there's no way they could get killed that easily. But Keiko knew, the guy, Hikaru, is not afraid of the goddess. The goddess hadn't even contacted them since he appeared.

The goddess was afraid of him, the reason is unknown to Keiko.

These people are arrogant enough to think that the King will be defeated by them, when countless people have tried and they all failed. Even the Church was just destroyed earlier and the goddess still hadn't done anything. It was as if she had abandoned them, and that made Keiko slightly despair a little.

Without the goddess, the heroes will lose their privilege. But it seems like she's still blessing them, but for how long?

Keiko doesn't care about her fellow heroes, but if they offend the new King in some way, they're absolutely dead. It made no sense to her how stupid these children can get. They've already seen him kill a hero without even moving a finger, it's just unreal how stupid they can get.

She walked back into her own room in the castle, opened the door, entered the dark room of hers, and suddenly felt something restraining her. Some kind of rope was wrapped around her body and she couldn't move.

*Thud*

She fell to the ground with a thud, and only then was she able to see who tied her up. She saw the King, Hikaru, lying on her bed with a book on his hand. He was extending his other hand and she saw a rope made of mana coming out of his hand.

"Hmm," He spoke, "I really can't believe you haven't figured out who I am after all this time. I'm slightly hurt, Keiko-chan." He mockingly said.

"W-what?" She reacted.

He dropped the book he was reading and covered his face with his hands. He stood up and walked towards her until his feet were just about to touch her head, then he removed his hands from his face.

When he removed his hands, Keiko was shocked to see a different face on Hikaru. Instead of the usual handsome look of his, there was the face of her ex.

"Hmm, I don't know if this is the right face, since I've forgotten about my previous face. But hello, Keiko-chan! It's been almost 7 years since we've met, or was the time different on Earth?" Hikaru said while smiling.

"Y-you… h-how...!?" She can barely speak due to her shock at seeing him here.

"Okay, let's make this short. You see, I know about all that coup d'etat stuff your hero group is planning. I hope that you won't join them, since we were quite close in the past after all. Killing you would put a certain amount of guilt in me, as we've shared a rather intimate relationship in the past. But if you're really going to join them…" He changed his face back and squatted down to grab her neck. He lifted her up and closed the distance between his face and her face.

"I'll make you suffer, along with your buddies." It was obvious, the tone of his voice, the look on his eyes, and how his expression changed. He was lying about feeling guilty…
