WHAT! I Have To Kill Heaven's Son To Live!-Chapter 175: What Do You Mean There’s Other Protagonists!
Chapter 175: Chapter 175: What Do You Mean There’s Other Protagonists!
[Warning: If the Host does not eliminate the protagonists... they will, sooner or later, find a way to kill you.]
[Strike first—or die.]
’WHAT?!’ Reon screamed inwardly, his thoughts spiraling in alarm.
’I’ll die... at the hands of the protagonist if I don’t kill him first?’
[Affirmative.]
His expression darkened.
’You idiotic Aria! Why didn’t you mention something so important before?!’
A soft, ethereal voice echoed in his mind—delicate, almost apologetic.
[A-Ahem... I’m truly sorry, Master. I... may have forgotten.]
’Forgotten?!’ Reon gritted his teeth. ’That’s not something you forget! I thought the protagonist would leave me alone as long as I didn’t interfere—but he’s going to kill me even if I don’t do anything?! That’s completely unreasonable!’
[Yes, Master. Protagonists are Apostles of Heaven. They will always try to eliminate the Villain, who represents evil, even if that villain is innocent. And you... were born into that role.]
Reon fell silent for a moment as the truth settled in his chest like a cold stone.
’So... from the very moment of my—no, Xue Taiyang’s—birth... he was fated to die by the hands of a so-called "protagonist"’
Then a sudden realization struck him.
’W-Wait... you said protagonists? Does that mean there’s more than just Yang Lie?’
Aria’s voice returned, calm and clear.
[Yes, Master. Each continent in this world has one Primary Protagonist—the Main Apostle, chosen by Heaven itself.]
Reon’s eyes narrowed.
’Damn... that means there are nine protagonists in total.’
He took a sharp breath, thoughts racing.
’Will the protagonists from other continents interfere with a villain outside their own?’
[Not in the short term. But in the long term—yes. Once they discover you, they will come for you. Sooner or later, every one of them will see you as an enemy that must be destroyed.]
Reon clenched his jaw, his mind racing.
’So... each continent has its own protagonist, its own story—and every one of them is destined to kill villains without hesitation, without caring about who they are or what they’ve done...’
A deep sigh escaped him as he pressed a hand to his forehead, frustration washing over him.
’My peaceful days... are officially over. If I’m not careful, I’ll be killed—whether by one hero... or another.’
Then—
[In addition, there are also Secondary Protagonists in every continent. They aid the Primary Protagonist in fulfilling Heaven’s grand design. Though not as powerful, each has their own story, their own journey—and like the main one, they are guided by fate.]
Reon’s eye twitched.
’Secondary protagonists...? Even more damn protagonists?!’
He groaned inwardly, frustration bubbling to the surface.
’Why don’t you just make my life a living hell already, you meddling, story-obsessed bastard Heaven?!’
’So... Yang Lie might just be one of the Secondary Protagonists? After all, he’s still weak for now... though I’m not entirely sure. He does become overpowered later on.’
[Your task is simple, Master: Find the Primary Protagonist of this world... and kill him.]
Reon clenched his fists tightly, his jaw set.
’Understood. If that’s what it takes to survive—then so be it. I will destroy every single one of them.’
With a deep breath, Reon opened the system panel once more.
A new tab had appeared beside [Inventory]—one he hadn’t seen before.
[Villain Store – Now Available] freёnovelkiss.com
’Let’s check it out,’ he thought, tapping on the new icon.
With a flicker of light, the store interface unfolded before him, elegant and mysterious.
Four distinct categories were neatly arranged before him:
Artifacts & Weapons
Pills, Consumables & Talismans
Skills, Techniques & Tomes
Limited-Time / Hidden-Requirement Items
’Let’s start with Artifacts and Weapons,’ Reon decided, clicking the first option in the upper-left corner.
The display shifted, revealing rows of exquisite weapons and mystical artifacts. Each item shimmered with a faint glow, accompanied by:
A vivid image above, A detailed description below, And a price listed in glowing red Villain Points.
There were many options—but a few, in particular, immediately caught Reon’s attention.

Then, Reon tapped on the next category—Pills, Consumables, and Talismans.
The interface shimmered and shifted, revealing a new set of powerful items.

...
Reon’s eyes widened as he scrolled through the entries, awe flashing across his face.
’Damn, every item is insanely powerful. I want them all—especially the Crimson Destiny Brand and the Fate-Distorting Elixir,’ he thought, eyes gleaming with desire. ’But the prices are outrageous...’
’What’s my current VP...?’ he wondered.
But as his eyes moved toward the top-right corner of the panel, his excitement froze.
[Villain Points: 0]
’What?! Zero?! But I already stole some of Yang Lie’s opportunities!’ Reon protested inwardly.
A system notification immediately responded.
[Villain Points will only be granted for actions taken after system upgrade. Past achievements do not count.]
’Tch... I see. So I’m starting from scratch now. Wait... can I buy Villain Points with gold coins or spirit stones then?’
[Nope.]
The system’s reply was blunt and merciless.
Reon sighed, dragging a hand through his hair.
’Of course not... That would’ve been far too convenient. Figures.’
’Tch. Forget the Villain Store for now.’
Shaking off the irritation, he redirected his attention.
’Let’s check the reward for reaching 3rd-Class Villain... Might as well see what I’ve earned.’
Navigating to the Inventory tab of the system panel, he spotted a glowing Bronze-Level Treasure Chest icon.
Without hesitation, he clicked on it.
The box expanded into a detailed image, and a message appeared:
[Click on the surface to unlock the Treasure Chest]
Reon pressed his finger against the image.
Shoosh!
A golden burst of light erupted from the panel, casting ethereal rays around the tent.
Ding!
[Congratulations, Host. You have received—]
