The operation to plant Aya's heart took a few hours. While doing so, Sweat beads always flow across his forehead to his chin.

Having an elemental power himself, he carefully used it. His power was Nature, allowing him to heal wounds. 

Also, it gave him precise control of fixing the muscles which were connected to the heart. As well as its blood vessels. 

When Kuzu performed the surgery and opened Aya's left chest, he was shocked to see an empty space! 

He was shocked that the girl before him had no heart! He almost leaped backward out of fear.

Originally, Kuzu thought that Narukami wanted him to do a simple heart transplant for Aya but didn't expect this patient had no heart, to begin with! 

He was also surprised when Narukami grabbed something from his shadow and that something was a heart. 

His eyes opened wide when he noticed the heart still beating. This was clearly beyond science to explain! 

Heck, even with the mysticism knowledge he had. It was almost impossible to explain this! 

Carefully put Aya's heart into her chest, Kuzu's hands were shaking. This was the first time he touched a beating heart out of a person's body. 

Not only was it bizarre, but it was also a once-in-a-lifetime experience. When he could touch a living heart again? Never! 

So, at this very moment. He was excited but that didn't let him lose his focus. 

The heart was extremely soft, fragile, and squishy. If Kuzu put a little more strength to his hand, he was certain it would turn to mush.

Should that happen, his death would be a terrifying one.

After putting in her heart, Kuzu used his Nature ability so as to connect the heart with the body.

Within a few minutes, he managed to do so but it drained a lot of spiritual energy. 

He still had some strength left to close her left chest and right after that, he staggered a few steps and let his body collapse onto a chair. 

His breath was heavy and hasty. His collar was drenched in sweat. He felt his arms and hands become numb.

His legs were shaking. This was because when connecting Aya's heart to her body, he was quite nervous as a single misstep would result in failure.

Causing his process to crumble and should that happen, he had to start from the beginning. 

It was just that, it required twice the energy so he couldn't afford to fail.

"Narukami, you better make me a free man." He was gasping for air when he said this.

Narukami smiled as he said, "I would be struck by the heavens if I didn't do it."

Although Narukami wasn't in the room but outside, his ears were sharp and he talked with Kuzu through spiritual transmission. 

"Heh, once I was free. I will travel around the world instead of locked up here in this terrible place.

I would then build my own hospital and as it flourished, it would be built in many countries," said Kuzu weakly with anticipation and excitement. His eyes were brimming with hope, a smile was formed on his face. 

Narukami could only listen. After Kuzu said his piece, Kuzu closed his eyes as he fell asleep. 

Aya didn't wake up either and she continued sleeping on the surgery bed. Left with no choice, Narukami entered the room and dressed her.

He did so without a shame nor primal instinct kicked in. It was as though dressing a doll.

After which, he teleported to her room but again, he was teleported outside the house. He quickly went to her room through the window and saw that she was lying on the ground next to her bed. 

She's a heavy sleeper, Narukami thought silently as he put her to her bed, covered her body with a blanket, and quickly vanished as his figure was devoured by a black bud.

Teleporting to his hotel room, he looked at his pinky finger. There was a black thread spiraling it.

He frowned when he saw this. This black thread was a protective measurement from Amaterasu which prevented him from killing innocent lives with the six creatures.

These creatures were given by "Her". At that point, Narukami was excited to be able to control such powerful creatures. It was as though a modern army with firearms and tanks reaching ten of thousands was under his command!

It could very well topple down a country rather easily. So, Amaterasu created this spiraling thread so as to prevent him from doing something so villainous and stupid. 

"Why is it still here?" He asked himself. This spiraling thread only appeared if he summoned and controlled those creatures and since he didn't summon even one of them, this situation was rather peculiar.

He decided to call "Her" Blessed and she appeared next to him. 

Her figure came out of bright light. It was as though a flash grenade exploded in the room. 

So when she appeared, Narukami had to close his eyes with his arms.

"Why is this thing still in my hand?" Narukami wondered as he closed all of his fingers except his pinky. 

The beauty pondered for a moment and replied respectfully, "Master, there is still another thing you had to do that required those beasts." 

"Another thing? Before we proceed, I want to tell you that "She" clearly stated that as long as I summon one of the beasts, this thing would appear. At the moment, I don't even control one and you should notice that too even if I try to hide them," Narukami said his doubts as he sat on the bed.

"Master, I'm sorry. I didn't know the answer. What I know is that "She" sign you with a new task and "She" also added that it will be a difficult one." she said.

"It will be indeed." He sighed as he looked at his pinky finger. What he was worried about was another effect of this thing. 

It would be hard for him to kill humans. If the human he killed didn't fulfill the criteria of being 'evil', then he would suffer something worse than death.

One could say he was like a judge, deciding if a human was truly evil or not. If one should receive a punishment or not. 

In this line of work, killing was necessary. "So what's the new task? Why didn't "She" ask you to do it?" Narukami became annoyed at this point. "She" clearly had many powerful Blessed yet he was the one who had to do the job?

Is it possible her Blessed couldn't complete this task and was left with no choice, "She" comes to me? But the fact "Her" powerful Blessed couldn't complete this task makes me anxious, he said inwardly and felt unsettled.

One should know all of her Blessed were either Level 9 or at the peak of Level 9. They were like demigods depicted in legends.

If such powerful beings couldn't complete a task from "Her", then what a Level 8 vampire like him could do?

Indeed, he had the six beasts but they can't be compared with Level 9 experts!

"As I said earlier, Master. This task's purpose is to test you. For what my benevolent and powerful goddess' tested you for, this little one doesn't know. I was only told that this task has a high chance of success if it is performed by you," she said calmly.

"She" does has high hopes for me but the pressure of doing this task with such a powerful goddess placed her hopes to me just a bit too much, he said in a self-deprecating manner. 

"Understand, continue." Narukami let her continue to explain what his new task was.

"Erase Fallen Nightless cult organization from this world and kill the current grandmaster of All Beyond's HQ. Time limit, a month. Master, please note you must not let other secret organizations be aware of this. Master, there is also an additional task

It is to attain an artifact called, Sunshine."

While she explained, her gaze was always on the floor. It was a pity for Narukami that he couldn't see such a beautiful face.

"Hikari, look up," Narukami suddenly ordered and the Blessed, Hikari lifted her head.

When both gazes meet, he was stupified as he was immersed in her face. She was no inferior to the goddesses he had seen in his previous worlds! She was more beautiful! 

"You're really beautiful." Narukami wasn't stingy with praises, especially to a lovable and gracious maiden.

"Master, this little one does not deserve such praise," she said as she looked downward. 

"Who told you to change your line of sight?" His voice sounded mighty and deep as though a King was displeased towards the actions of his subordinates. 

Hikari startled and quickly lifted her head.

Narukami smiled. What he said earlier was supposed to be a joke, he wasn't displeased at all but it seemed he was a bit far.

He didn't apologize as it seemed to didn't match with what he just said.

"So what is this artifact? Is it an exceptionally powerful one?" Narukami asked curiously. The fact "She" wanted it showed how much of a value this artifact was. 

"It is an artifact which allows one to travel to another world and dimensions. It is only activated when stars are lined up and at the same time, a complete solar eclipse must happen."
