I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

Of course, "sleep" here refers to Fujimaru Ritsuka sleeping in bed, while "Director" refers to his soul falling into a deep sleep.

Only now, after the director has woken up again, can he express those sentiments.

"Alright, Director, let's go downstairs. After breakfast, we're going to participate in the orangutan competition today."

"Gorilla h?"

Upon hearing about matters related to God, the director also became curious.

"Is it the ape I expected?"

"Yes, gods from all the major pantheons gathered together to discuss who will fight me this time."

"what?"

The director, who was initially curious, is now full of questions.

"Fight you?"

"Wait, are the gods here really this wild?"

"Although I know that's not what you mean, the world here is indeed in a barbaric age right now."

Fujimaru Ritsuka shrugged at the director.

"This is how the gods and humans coexist here. If you want something, you just use brute force to take it. As someone from another world, I'm quite a sought-after person here. I currently live in the kinship established by the goddess of justice, Astrea. As for the other gods, many of them want to take me. When the two sides can't reach an agreement, they can only achieve their ultimate goal through war."

"So we're going to have a war of gods? That's way too much!"

"No, no, no, it's not as complicated as you think. It's just a war between clans, or even a war. It's just a game."

Fujimaru Ritsuka waved to the surprised director.

"Let's go down first, and you'll know when the meeting of the gods arrives."

Yes, today is also the start date of the monthly Ritsuka Challenge.

Although this challenge has only been held once so far, the Gorilla Knights still attach great importance to it because it is related to whether they can snatch Fujimaru Ritsuka from Astrea and whether the gods who are not qualified to participate in the competition can see the fun they want.

So, while Fujimaru Ritsuka was still in her familia preparing to depart, some gods had already arrived at the Tower of Babel.

"You're here really early, Freya."

When Loki arrived at the conference room, he saw Freya already sitting there.

Freya sat gracefully in her seat, raised her hand and gestured to Loki with her thumb and forefinger.

"Well, what can I do? I live on the Tower of Babel. Compared to you, I'm a little closer to here."

"You're really boring. What's the point of staying up here all day? It's much more fun living with the kids."

Loki sat down next to Freya without a care in the world.

Freya looked at Loki and couldn't bring herself to criticize him. Everyone in Orario knows you, a perverted god who sexually harasses his female members every day. Even though you live in the Familia's territory and are a goddess, not a single female member goes to bed at night without locking her door, just to keep an eye on this perverted god.

"Alright, let's not talk about our business anymore. Freya, who do you think will challenge the [Savior] this time?"

"Ishtar, please."

Freya immediately gave the answer.

"To be precise, only she can take on the challenge."

Volume 1: 126. Ishtar: I challenge you!

That's so comprehensive!

This was Freya and Loki's assessment of Fujimaru Ritsuka during this second Sky Curtain event.

At the beginning, in the battle with Medusa, Fujimaru Ritsuka displayed the same power as before.

With her clones and self-destructing meteor arrows, Medusa displayed a terrifying petrification ability, but she was still fragile, so a single meteor arrow could easily take her down.

But Hercules was different; with twelve lives, Fujimaru Ritsuka displayed a variety of powerful abilities never before seen.

Besides his usual self-destructing clones and meteor arrows, he also displayed speed far exceeding that of any adventurer, a poisonous ability capable of driving demigods mad and driving them to suicide, and that black magic sword that directly killed several of Hercules' lives with a single strike.

He has speed, strength, and skill; he is a fighter who is perfect in every way in terms of stats.

Especially since he is a warrior, he has no intention of fighting you head-on. If he can attack from behind without taking damage, he will never take damage in front of you to exchange for damage. If he can poison you, he will never use a normal attack from the front.

This kind of powerful warrior, who can fight without any limits, is someone even Loki wouldn't dare say her children could handle.

That's too dangerous!

It's fortunate that she was banned by Ganesha from the beginning and couldn't participate in the challenge. Otherwise, if she had participated, it's uncertain whether she could have won, but her own children would definitely have been badly beaten.

Now, in Loki's view, the only ones in Orario who can challenge Fujimaru Ritsuka are the Ishtar Familia.

Besides Loki and Freya's Familia, Orario's strongest fighting force consists of Ganesha's Familia and Ishtar's Familia. Ganesha's Familia announced last time that it would not participate, and Loki and Freya were banned, so only Ishtar is left.

Other families, whether in terms of the number or quality of their superior adventurers, cannot compare to the Ishtar Familia. Otherwise, the Ishtar Familia would not be able to dominate the entertainment district, let alone challenge the Freya Familia.

"However, to be precise, the Ishtar Familia is no longer qualified to challenge the Savior in terms of direct combat strength."

"Don't let Ishtar hear you say that."

Loki chuckled and teased.

"If she hears this, she'll explode."

“But it’s true. The power that the Savior displayed when she defeated that demigod was something that even the mountain of flesh of the Ishtar Familia couldn’t withstand, let alone the others in her Familia.”

"But she has to take the gamble, doesn't she?"

Loki lowered his voice as he spoke.

"Have you noticed that the guild has recently increased its personnel deployment near Happy Street?"

Freya was slightly puzzled.

“I didn’t notice that, but what does it have to do with Ishtar?”

"Don't you know who's in charge of the military police's operations since the reforms? The military police have recently arrested a lot of traffickers near Happy Street."

"so it is."

Freya nodded in realization.

The so-called military police are nominally Ganesha's retinue, but now everyone knows that the military police are directed by Fujimaru Ritsuka, a special advisor, on a regular basis. The entire military police force has long since taken on the shape of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Previously, Fujimaru Ritsuka led the military police to keep an eye on the Soma Familia, but now the Soma Familia is practically disbanded. Now that the military police have suddenly started targeting human traffickers, the significance is quite obvious.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is targeting the Ishtar Familia!

There are casinos and brothels in the entertainment district, which are legal in Orario because these places allow adventurers who are on edge in the dungeons to release their energy. Fujimaru Ritsuka would not say anything about directly banning casinos and brothels.

You can gamble as you like, it's your own money anyway, I don't care. But if you take someone else's money and that person goes to the military police, then I'll have to deal with you.

*You can do whatever you want*, it's still your own money, and it's Amazon. If you're good-looking, they might even pay you to *do whatever you want*, but if you're not a willing Amazon customer, but a good girl trafficked from outside, then I'm going to deal with you.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka simply had the military police keep an eye on these two locations to prevent money theft, gambling, and human trafficking.

The first one was alright, but the second one, which prohibited the buying and selling of people, was a huge blow to the Ishtar Familia, since it was tantamount to cutting off their new source of goods.

"Therefore, she has to take action. If she doesn't challenge them, the 'Savior' will have the military police surround her territory, causing her business to slowly decline. They might even arrest her subordinates later on, which would be nothing short of a slow death."

"If she challenges the Savior, she might fail, but if she fails, she'll just die quickly. But if she wins, she'll make a fortune."

"With the [Savior] in hand, why would she worry about business not doing well? In fact, on the very day she obtains the [Savior], her clan can ascend to the top of Orario and become the third king."

"Three kings is impossible."

Freya rejected it outright.

“You should say that she would immediately challenge me to a fight and kick me off my throne in Orario, and then kick you off as well, since she won’t allow anyone to be her equal.”

"Haha, that depends on whether she has the ability."

Loki smiled and looked towards the door.

"Ah, she's here."

At the entrance to the conference room, Ishtar walked in with her head held high. After noticing Loki's gaze, she turned to look at him. Loki smiled and nodded at Ishtar in greeting, while Freya didn't even glance at her from beginning to end.

Freya's attitude infuriated Ishtar. "We're both goddesses of beauty, why do you look down on me like that!"

Ishtar gave Loki a cold snort and walked to his seat.

Other deities entered the meeting room one after another, and the last to enter were Fujimaru Ritsuka and Astrea, who were the main deities.

As the one being challenged, Fujimaru Ritsuka is naturally qualified to participate in the God's Gathering here, since he still needs to negotiate the subsequent game content and type with the other party.

"I am Ganesha!!!"

Ganesha's loud self-introduction announced the start of the divine assembly.

"First of all, welcome everyone to the starting point of the second Ritsuka Challenge!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Ganesha speechlessly. Although everyone said that in private, is it really okay for you, as the host, to say it so directly?

Ganesha completely ignored Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze and continued speaking.

"To be honest, the last challenge was a bit of a disappointment. Although the Savior's performance was brilliant, it was too short, so no one got to see the winner."

Okay, okay, so you're already asking for the show's entertainment value, huh?

"This time, I wonder which fellow deity would like to take on the challenge!"

Sure enough, as soon as Ganesha finished speaking, Ishtar stood up.

"I accept the challenge!"

Volume 1: Chapter 127. War Games: Underwater Warfare

Just as Loki and Freya said, Ishtar has been cornered and she must take the challenge; otherwise, the development of her Familia will be severely limited.

Therefore, she couldn't wait to step forward after Ganesha announced the start of the challenge.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka has demonstrated formidable combat power, leaving most of the Orario Familias with no desire to challenge her, what if someone impulsively jumps out to steal her? Therefore, she must be the first to step forward!

“Very well, since Ishtar has stepped forward, then the second Ritsuka Challenge will be between the Ishtar Familia and the Astrea Familia!”

Because Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't refuse the challenge, the war game was immediately established.

"Oh!!!" XN

The gorillas cried out.

I just finished watching the thrilling and exciting Sky Show, and now there's a war game to watch in just a few days. It's so awesome!

Ishtar's worries were unnecessary, because the other gods had all given up on challenging Fujimaru Ritsuka. The power Fujimaru Ritsuka displayed in his battle against Hercules made them afraid to challenge him. Fujimaru Ritsuka was also helpless about this. He was thinking of conserving his power and relying on other Familias to challenge him and complete the special achievement of the War Game a few more times. After all, one War Game gives a full 30 Saint Quartz. If no one challenged him, where would he get Saint Quartz?

However, if you hold back your abilities when fighting Hercules, then you simply can't win.

So, let alone those who wanted to watch the spectacle, even Fujimaru Ritsuka was grinning. He was prepared that Ishtar wouldn't dare to challenge him, but Ishtar stubbornly went ahead and challenged him anyway.

Just for the fact that she gave her 30 Saint Quartz for free, Fujimaru Ritsuka will definitely take good care of her in the war game!

After all, this should be his last order!

"Very good. Now that the second Ritsuka Challenge has been established, let's discuss the details of the challenge."

Ganesha looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Mr. Savior, shall we do it the same way as last time, letting the other party state their terms first?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.

"That's right, after all, if I were to bring it up, it would probably be pointless."

In war games, one side usually initiates a challenge, and the challenged side can make demands, such as the type and format of the war game, in order to make the format more favorable to themselves.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not exercise this power. Instead, he let the other side propose the form of war first, and then proposed the price. This is why the Apollo Familia lost all of its wealth.

This time, he again had Ishtar make the request.

"Very well! Since you've put it that way, Ritsuka, then I won't hold back."

The gorilla, Chu Bu Cong, had already devised a plan to develop the form of war he desired.

As is customary, the form of war is always in the favor of the proposer, and Ishtar naturally had to propose a form of war that was favorable to herself. Before coming, she had already held an internal meeting with the members of her clan.

Last time, Apollo thought he could use his numerical advantage to win, so he chose an open terrain. However, he was sieved by Fujimaru Ritsuka's lawsuit arrow and the battle ended in a dozen minutes.
