Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"She really wasn't going to release them!"

"Yes, only by possessing this kind of trump card can one be qualified as one of the two kings of the city!"

Loki stopped picking at her toes in her sullen mood, and slowly opened her mouth in astonishment: "Hey... this seems to have gotten a bit too much..."

Chapter 358 Loki, you're really good at this!

"Keep pretending, keep pretending." The gods looked at each other in bewilderment.

They're not stupid; those fancy analyses and guesses are completely irrelevant.

To get to the bottom of these events, we just need to find out who the biggest beneficiary was.

At first, they thought Raul had been misled and betrayed the Loki Familia.

But now that I think about it...

"Was that Loki doing it on purpose? Did he deliberately use [Superhuman] to bring out the core conflict of the War Games, drawing everyone's attention to Finn?"

Another male god had an epiphany:

"I see! After the conflict escalates, everyone will naturally go to confront the [Hero]. That will be the time for the [Hero] to announce his victory to the world!"

"First, simply admit to the scandal, use the public opinion surrounding the collapse of the hero's career to attract worldwide attention, and then apologize profusely to quell public anger."

"Then, take the opportunity to announce your achievements to the world."

"Look, I've brought down a criminal gang that's been ravaging the city for decades, even though my methods were despicable and shameless."

Another goddess covered her mouth and said, "You tell me, did you ruin it or not?"

"Hyouka!"

"That's really impressive, Finn."

"They lost their temporary reputation, but gained merit for their clan."

"Most importantly, the [Hero] has realized that his past methods are no longer effective. Being too upright will only lead the world to distinguish him from the 'Dwarfs'."

[Hero] is [Hero], and Palum is Palum.

The more outstanding Finn was, the more he reinforced this concept, making it deeply ingrained in people's minds.

And now...

"Who will dare to underestimate the Lilliputians in the future? They used their brains to manipulate the generals of the Dark Faction with ease..."

more importantly……

"At this point, Finn should have gracefully retired and made his exit, but he didn't. Look, the main event is about to begin!"

A deity with bangs covering half his face and a cold grin replied:

"The strongest enemy no longer exists, and the title of 'Hero' has lost its meaning. So, how can we reverse this collapse?"

the answer is……

The male god spreads his arms wide:

"Why not just keep creating stronger enemies?"

"An incredibly powerful opponent, one that cannot be defeated without resorting to trickery and intrigue! If such a 'monster' exists, we will have no choice but to rely on the 'Hero' once again!"

The orange-clad goddess next door curled her lip: "So, Loki took the opportunity to reveal his hidden trump card..."

The white-haired goddess said, "After all this commotion, no one should dare to want 'noname' anymore. Who would dare to touch a child cared for by a level 7?"

"What the hell is all this...!" Loki slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "If we had a child this strong, why would we hide him? Use your brain, you idiot!"

"They were clearly forced to show themselves here because Finn had no other choice!"

The gods laughed:

"Haha! She's getting anxious, she's getting anxious!"

"Hey Loki, you're the god of trickery, it's entirely possible... you're thinking of giving us a big surprise and seeing us panic."

"What, what? Are you disappointed that you didn't get your way?"

"We've seen through you!"

A joyful atmosphere permeated the divine court, but some serious deities were also lost in thought:

"Hey, am I the only one who thinks you guys are up to no good? If that really is Loki's person, and you don't give her any face, you might get your account banned."

"Gah-"

Upon hearing this, the Gods of Laughter glanced at Loki's expression, broke out in a cold sweat, and their laughter abruptly ceased.

Hephaestus stood with his chest exposed, his single eye darting about.

"Putting aside whether it was Loki's prank, don't you think it's a bit much to have a kid like that appear in a war game? What if he really is an enemy?"

Demeter, the goddess with honey-colored, wavy hair, nudged Freya beside her with her elbow:

"Hey, how about we let Ota-kun test the waters?"

Hermes pulled his hat brim down low: "That makes sense. Even if it's Loki's prank, it can reveal more of his cards."

Hermes anticipated that the forces behind "noname" had appeared this time and must have also arranged for a sniper force to support the city.

Let's see who's in charge of stopping Ota!

Could it be the Joker?!

All the gods' gazes fell upon Freya; at this moment, only this goddess of beauty could stop Loki's antics.

Freya lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers.

She pondered the whole story of the incident and the role Ciel played in it.

The first conclusion was that Ciel wanted to take revenge on Finn.

Although it wasn't obvious, Freya saw the color of "holding grudges" in his soul. He was the kind of person who would reciprocate kindness with kindness and retaliate in kind if someone treated him well.

Compared to a reckless man who "never holds a grudge and retaliates on the spot," Ciel would find ways to do things: disgust, scheme, fool, steal...

Freya pondered to herself, what had Loki done to offend him that he was being targeted like this?

Freya quickly realized: Loki, that kid, seems to have pulled off a prank on the engagement, hasn't he?

This is a case of "Don't underestimate a young person's poverty."

But upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that every time Ciel plays the game, he has something in mind. So what is it this time?

"Freya?"

Freya's thoughts were interrupted by her divine friend beside her.

She looked up at the Mirror of God in front of her.

An unexpected opponent intervenes, and the view from the Mirror of God gradually zooms out, with the camera looking down over the entire battlefield.

In a fleeting glimpse, Freya caught a glimpse of a pure and flawless soul.

On a solitary rock, atop a cliff face, the cold wind ruffled her black robes, and beneath the black hood, a strand of pure white hair danced.

Freya suddenly stood up, staring at the screen in disbelief!

"That was just now..."

"Freya? What's wrong?"

"Nothing? Excuse me for a moment..."

Freya abandoned the gods and left the divine court alone, taking the floating elevator downhill.

She pulled an "eye crystal" from her pocket and said firmly and without a doubt, "Ota, take me to the castle."

A moment later, a commotion erupted from within the "Eye Crystal," filled with curses, complaints, and sounds of beatings. Ota's helpless voice replied, "Yes."

……

Right now,

In the forest outside the ancient castle ruins.

"Commander, something's wrong... there's an intruder!"

"Level 7 or higher? How could such a powerful being invade? Is another great struggle about to begin?"

"Wasn't the Dark Faction already finished? Where did this level of overlord come from?"

Shakti looked at the "Mirror of God" projected in front of him, his emotions complicated.

The Astrea Familia members who had gathered nearby to watch the battle also gasped in surprise:

"What should we do, Alexie? Should we get backup?"

"Hmm, but they say she's a member of 'Noname,' which is part of the War Games, right? If we participate, wouldn't that be breaking the rules?"

"Idiot, who cares about winning or losing at a time like this! What if it really is an attack..."

Everyone turned their attention to the referee, Shakti.

"There have been no similar cases before..."

Chapter 359 The Witch with No Blind Spots

The war game was commissioned by the gods, and its rules are absolute.

Even evil gods wouldn't interfere and disrupt the fairness of the War Game. This is different from the rule of "illegally using divine power," and similar to "conversion," it's one of the unspoken rules of the mortal realm that the gods tacitly agree upon.

The evil gods can freely attack any of their kin in the lower realms, disrupting the order of the lower realms; this is one of their ways of playing the game.

But once it comes to war games, this sacred "duel," a shackle called "looking at the air" binds it. Those who can't "look at the air" and spoil the fun will be ostracized.

The witch's words were not punished by the gods. This means that her participation in the battle was in accordance with the "duel rules," and as referees, they had no right to interfere.

but……

"First, save the unconscious adventurers..." Shakti said solemnly, "Protecting the lives of those who have lost their fighting ability is also one of the judges' authority."

Everyone's eyes lit up: "As expected of the boss!"
