Hero Hack: Reversing Heroes and Raising Harem-Chapter 161: Massacre to Mastery

Zain walked through the hidden entrance of the Heavenly Demon Sect base.

As soon as he stepped inside, the girls quickly lined up on both sides of the hallway.

They bowed as he passed.

"Welcome, Master."

Zain nodded without stopping.

He walked straight toward the main hall.

The moment he stepped inside, he paused.

His eyes scanned the room.

There were corpses everywhere.

Neatly placed. Stacked in rows. The floor was covered with them.

Zain’s eyes narrowed.

He stepped further in, looking left and right.

He didn’t say anything at first.

But then, he let out a low breath.

"There’s more than a thousand," he said quietly.

He turned to Velra, who stood proudly near the center.

"Just how many did they kill?" he asked.

Velra stepped forward. "Enough to make you proud."

Zain looked at her. "You’re not answering."

She smiled slightly. "We didn’t count all. We moved fast. Took what we could carry."

He glanced at one of the piles. Heroes. Villains. Beasts.

All mixed.

"You killed all ranks," Zain said.

Velra nodded. "Yes. Anything that moved. Anyone that looked weak."

Zain turned back to the room.

"This is more than I expected."

Velra spoke again. "Don’t worry. B-Zone is big. Very big."

She walked beside him.

"Even with all of these... it’s hardly one percent of the whole population."

Zain raised an eyebrow. "Only one percent?"

She nodded. "Yes, Master."

"There are thousands of beasts, small hero teams, and minor villains all over B-Zone."

She pointed toward the piles of bodies. "But most of the corpses here are beasts."

Zain looked at her. "How many?"

"About seventy percent," she answered.

"Mutated beasts. They were the easiest to find and kill. Most of them cluster in the same areas."

Zain crossed his arms. "That makes sense."

Velra continued.

"They don’t move in groups like trained teams. Once we found one group, others weren’t far."

Zain nodded slowly. "I see."

He turned to the girls who stood in perfect rows along the wall.

None of them said a word. All eyes were on him.

Zain took a step forward.

"You’ve done well," he said simply.

The reaction was instant.

The girls all smiled wide.

Some bowed again.

Some stood taller.

But all of them looked proud.

Velra looked at them, then back at Zain. "They waited for you to say that."

Zain smirked a little. "Good."

He walked slowly past the rows of girls.

"No one died?"

"No, Master," Velra said. "A few light injuries, but nothing serious."

Zain nodded again. "I see. I’ll make sure to reward them later."

He stepped forward and raised his hand.

"But now... let’s begin the process."

He looked at the corpses spread across the main hall.

"System," he said clearly, "absorb them."

The hall became still for a moment.

Then, without warning, the bodies began to rise slightly off the floor.

Light pulsed around them.

The corpses shook, then began to crack, dissolve, and vanish into the air.

Glowing red and black data streams flowed toward Zain’s raised hand.

The girls watched with wide eyes, stunned.

Some gasped softly.

Others just stared in silence.

None of them had seen anything like this before.

Zain stood in the center of it all, calm and focused, absorbing it all without effort.

Velra smiled proudly, standing beside him.

One of the group leaders whispered, "Is this... his real power?"

Another girl nodded. "He’s taking all of them. All that death, all that power... going straight to him."

As the last corpse vanished, the light faded.

Zain lowered his hand slowly.

He exhaled once.

Then smiled.

"It’s done."

Velra stepped forward, watching him closely.

"What do you think of their work?"

Zain smirked. "Of course... it’s the best."

He looked at the empty space where the corpses once were.

In his mind, he thought, High-tier abilities need ten million hack points...

I already got nine million... in just one month of their work.

He chuckled silently.

Damn... it feels really good.

He turned to the rows of girls, still standing proud and silent, waiting for their next command.

Zain stepped forward again.

"Time to reward you all."

They stood taller at his words.

"First, I’ll heal all of you."

"And second, you’ll be rewarded—for everything you’ve done."

He raised his hand once more, the system already responding to his will.

A soft light spread from Zain’s palm, covering the entire room like a warm mist.

The girls blinked as they felt it.

Small cuts closed. Bruises vanished. Tired muscles felt fresh again.

The ones who had limps now stood straight.

They felt like they were never injured before.

Then came the wave of strength.

One by one, the girls felt their bodies become lighter, faster, more powerful.

The regular members now felt a new strength inside them.

Stronger legs. Quicker reflexes. Clearer focus.

The three AA-Rank leaders felt even more.

Their energy sharpened.

Their control tightened.

Their minds cleared.

"This..." one girl whispered, clenching her fist.

"I feel faster," another said.

The leader stepped forward, breathing in deeply. "He did it again..."

Velra smiled. "This is your reward."

Zain lowered his hand and spoke calmly.

"You’re stronger now."

"But this is only the start."

The girls nodded, eyes sharp and focused.

With their master leading them, their future was no longer uncertain—

It was unstoppable.
