Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1054 The Unfettered

1054 The Unfettered

Out of nowhere... the God of Space proposed that Kahn become his vessel, leaving the latter bewildered in sheer disbelief.

Kahn could not fathom or absorb this unexpected twist appearing in this congregation, yet he tried to come to terms with it and soon, he declared his response...

"How is that even possible? You said that giving me any help at this point would destroy my soul.

And even if I'm a Saint, does it make sense for a God to be able to use a human as a vessel without any repercussions?" asked Kahn, slightly anxious.

"Yes. It is possible... If you no longer have a Soul itself." replied the God of Space sternly.

Shock!

"No way in hell I'm doing that!" shouted Kahn in defiance.

What Raum meant... Was simply Kahn dying, his soul disappearing and then the God of Space taking possession of his body right now during this meeting.

He wanted Kahn to sacrifice himself for the sake of saving the Multiverse.

But Kahn made his intentions very clear to the God of Space.

To refuse an almighty God... well, it wasn't his first time so to speak.

"Think about it... you're currently the most suitable person for me to do it, even better than the current Hero of Space.

Maybe even the original Kahn Salvatore planned for it to happen." said Raum, suggesting an unforeseen mystery.

Shake!

Kahn on the other end, quickly shook his head in denial.

"The way I talked with him and everything he told me to do... there's no way he planned for it.

And I'm not a buffoon either, to fall for your words just because you're a God." replied Kahn with a firm voice.

Sigh!

The God of Space's sigh destroyed hundreds of planets again in their respective universes.

"Even when the inevitable annihilation is at your doorsteps... all the mortals, regardless of their species or powers, still choose to adhere to their own beliefs and think they can do better.

That futile emotion you call 'Hope'... Is but a useless notion in face of destiny." he stated, reminiscing his own experience.

"Who do you think will be far superior choice at destroying the Demon God? You or me?

Can you even utilize the Dimensional Law divine ability to its fullest extent, better than me at that?" he asked in a cajoling tone.

"What we have at stake here isn't just one world or two, but the entire multiverse and everything that ever existed.

Yet you can't even relinquish your body and let me end this war?" asked Raum in a reprimanding tone.

Kahn's expression turned serious but his eyes became resolute.

"You may be right. You possibly could end this war if I give you my body right now.

It's also true that I have received a lot of help from others too. I have no problem with it and neither would I deny their part in it.

However..." cited Kahn as his entire countenance relaxed.

He pointed and tapped at his head with the right forefinger.

"I'm what I am today because of my own mind and my nature." said Kahn as he made a firm declaration.

"I have made mistakes, but I have also learned from them.

I have gained strength and willpower to survive in this world because I had no support or any kind of backing since the day of my arrival.

I have killed for it; I have bled for it!" he loudly proclaimed.

Raum too showed an interested gaze.

"I have suffered immense torture and died more than a million times just to become the best at everything possible for me.

And through all those struggles, hardships, and dangers I have faced in this new life...

My mind and my wit have always been the strongest ally who helped me adapt and overcome every situation.

To you... I may be a selfish and an ignorant fool. But anyone close to me would wholeheartedly agree that..."

Kahn then ended his words in a resolute voice.

"I'm a Survivor."

The infinite expanse of space and universes suddenly stagnated, halting its cycle as the God of Space was intrigued by Kahn's firm declaration.

"Such hubris.

Even your predecessor, the 8th Hero of Darkness, who was the strongest Hero to exist so far, went above and beyond to kill the other chosen heroes; but still couldn't kill the Demon God.

You're outnumbered, outmatched, and fighting for a hopeless war because even now, the other Gods and the Empires are still lingering over their petty politics and greed for power.

With all of these obstacles, you're bound for failure just like the 8th Hero of Darkness.

So tell me... what makes you think you can fare better?" he asked in a daunting tone.

"What makes you think you'll be any different than those who came before you?

What says that you won't fail in front of the destiny itself?" asked Raum, the God of Space.

Kahn clenched his fist and raised his head as he replied with an unfettered and undefeatable will...

"Unless I win."
