Shin Sang Legend
The Goddess 2

Seeing how Shin was pensive, the goddess smiled.

“Again, we have time, so let's chat a little about this world.”

With that, the goddess waved her hand and appeared a table, chair and tea.

********

Supposedly, when the world was first born, Omnipotlin

it has only two races.

One of them is the gods.

The other is the devil.

Gods and demons basically appeared in this world at the same time, and they were basically natural enemies and had been fighting all along.

Unlike demons, who were born with great power, the gods might also possess a wide variety of abilities, but compared to demons, gods were not a type of race born specifically for war.

Gods can do many things. They can create the earth, and they can create life, but if only considering fighting power, they are naturally giants behind demons born for the sake of destruction.

Plus, gods as a race are limited in number.

All gods have their own responsibilities. Some regulate life, some regulate nature, and some regulate fate. There are even portfolios like health, harvest, wisdom, culture, etc. But there are only so many portfolios, so of course there cannot be many gods, and it is even more impossible if there are many gods who arrange the same portfolio. Thus, the number of gods is set from the beginning, and only when one god dies can a new god be born.

Therefore, the number of gods was very limited.

Demons on the other hand have no such restrictions. Over the months and years, their numbers would grow larger and larger, their tribes increasingly varied, until eventually, they completely surpassed the gods.

For the sake of doing battle with such demons, the gods began to create other races, such as humans, elves, beastmen, dwarves, etc. Moreover, the gods would give them guidance in their growth, until they could finally stop the demons.

But the devil is not weak either. Not only did they create magic, they also created demonic beasts.

Indeed indeed.

Be it magic or demonic beasts, it all came from demons.

Thus, they are named as they are. The word “Magic” even emerged from the demons themselves, so it can be easily seen how powerful the demons are in terms of strength compared to the gods.

However, putting aside magic for now. When it comes to demonic beasts, even though they were created by demons, due to the fact that demons are barely capable in everything like the gods, the result is that demonic beasts have quite low intelligence. Thus, even the demons that created it sometimes lost control over the demonic beasts. Thus, even though demonic beasts were proliferating rapidly and even spreading to all corners of the world, if they were not tamed. They would indiscriminately attack even demons.

Thanks to that, even though demons had magic and created demonic beasts, they were still unable to completely destroy the gods. Plus, the gods even created magic forms like holy magic and supporting magic, so in the end, no one could do much.

“However, that needs to be said. Compared to the gods, demons were relatively stronger. ”

Sitting in front of the table that had just been summoned, the goddess chatted while drinking an aromatic red tea.

“For that reason, for the sake of fighting demons, the gods finally created the Hero Summoning Ritual. To summon heroes from other worlds who have special powers to fight demons, with the aim that Heroes defeat demon kings – Demon Kings.”

At the same time she said it, the goddess also reminded Shin, who was sitting facing her and seemed to be tasting red tea.

“We gods may be able to do things, but the only thing we can't do is give power directly. So, for Heroes who naturally wield Holy Swords and possess extraordinarily powerful unique skills, we the gods hope that one day they will be able to defeat the Demon King.”

Just like that, the goddess explained things to Shin.

To that end, Shin did have a number of questions.

“Why can not directly give power?”

Shin asked the question.

The goddess also answered without hesitation.

“Because levels and skills are things that are engraved in the concept of [Logic], so even the gods cannot influence it.”

[Logic] it is basically the law of the world, the rule of reality, also known as [World Logic].

“Whether it be gods, demons, humans or demonic beasts, all have levels and skills. According to the status, natural talent, and potential of each person, their growth rate in different directions were all different. These things were all carved into the concept of [Logic]. In other words, it is the rule of the world itself. We gods can influence matter and phenomena, but we cannot interfere with the basic laws of the world itself. We cannot influence [Logic] itself.”

The goddess explained.

“Of course, if within the limits that [Logic] allow, some interference is still possible. For example, magic basically uses magical power to interact with [Logic] to influence matter and phenomena. The last form of that power is what is called magic.”

“Also, some magic weapons, items, and even potions also operate under this principle to temporarily increase skill levels and personal abilities. Your Holy Sword is also included in this category.”

“However, [Logic] interference can only be carried out within the allowed territory. If it is something that is too damaging to the balance, then it will not be allowed whatever happens.”

“For example, gods can give weapons or items that can increase human strength, and they can give blessings to humans, but they have absolutely no way to level up a person directly.”

“If not, humans don't need to level up anymore, nor do they need to grow. They can only get it given by the gods.”

As for weapons or items capable of leveling up one's level directly, it was nothing at all in this world.

“Even now, the weapons and items capable of raising one's level are just Holy Swords born by you Heroes from another world. The rules of this world only allowed equipment that could raise a certain skill level or increase a certain part of one's abilities. ”

Goddess explained.

“That's probably because you weren't the existence of this world from the start, so you ended up somewhat diverging from this world's [Logic], right?”

Perhaps the reason a Hero from another world could awaken such a powerful unique skill was for the same reason.

That's why the gods wanted to summon a Hero.

“Unfortunately, not every person from another world has what it takes to become a Hero. Otherwise, people from other worlds would most likely be summoned, right? ”

The goddess said something that shocked the world as if it was nothing.

Shin simply rolled his eyes without any other reaction, but he felt quite complicated in his heart.

Based on those words, didn't that mean the fact that he was summoned and became a Hero was not something random, but because he himself was special?

“That's.” The Goddess once again looked through Shin's mind and, with a smile, said, “At least, since ancient times, the number of Heroes summoned to this world numbered less than 10.”

The meaning behind those words was that other worlds that had the basic conditions to become Heroes were extremely rare.

Shin was one of those rare individuals.

“In addition, the Heroes summoned in the previous call came from a different world than yours.”

The goddess said something even more shocking.
