However, just as they were about to be defeated, the shrine maiden somehow came over to watch the game. Then, as the three mahjong girls on the other side showed fluctuations, a beam of light suddenly shone from the shrine maiden's body.

This is the awakening of the god residing within the shrine maiden. She was very interested in the game here, and after discovering the girl who seemed to control everything, she wanted to ask some questions, so she woke up. The god's power automatically changed the entire world, which then conflicted with the rules of the world on the mahjong table.

Chapter 1220 Man vs. God

However, Senju was speechless as he watched the confrontation. He knew Miyanaga Saki's background. Although she held a high position in the Little Garden and seemed like a great demon king who could even fight against the gods, this was just her performance at the mahjong table!

In her normal state, she only has a seven-figure strength, which is at most similar to a Level 4 in Academy City. This is only because she improved through the blessings she won. Originally, she was just a lost girl!

“You finite beings whose lives cannot be avoided, why do you possess such a god-slaying aura? I truly cannot understand,” the young goddess asked.

"Huh?" The people around seemed to feel that the world had suddenly become balanced, and the Great Demon King had suddenly turned into a cute girl. "Eh? Are you talking about me?! Oh, right, I'm still the Demon King, hahaha."

"!" Hearing Miyanaga Saki's dry laugh, everyone around him collapsed to the ground. Senju helplessly patted his head. Wasn't it better to keep quiet? Now he's back to square one! He looked at Tetu to the side, "Who is this god? I was preparing to hold a game, but now I've been completely overshadowed."

“Well, she’s just a suspicious god who doubts everything. As for her name, she doesn’t have one yet,” Tet shrugged and then looked at Thousand Hands with a smile. “However, she does have some connection to you. She created those thinking machines eons ago.”

"A thinking machine?" Senju asked in confusion, then realized, "You mean, the Machine Race that she created? But in the Machine Race's memories, there is no record of a creator!"

“That happened in a long time before the world was fully developed,” Tetu said, flipping through a book. “Those machine races, of course, wouldn’t know, but I, who controls the whole world, see it very clearly. Of course, she created five thinking machines to answer the questions in her heart. Do you see the wings floating behind her?”

“Hmm,” Senju stared at it carefully for a while, then exclaimed in surprise, “Hmm?! It’s all questions? The God of Suspicion, huh? But only you can answer so many questions.”

“Haha, that was certainly true in the past,” Tetto said, poking his cheek with a mix of frustration and delight. “But now I can’t see the future, so everything is getting interesting.”

"Oh?" Senju looked at him in confusion, while Tetto flew excitedly over there. "That's right, ever since you came here, the future has become blurry and illusory. The future that was once certain has also changed. The world is becoming more and more exciting to me!"

“Uh,” Senju looked at him speechlessly. So it was like this again. Senju knew quite a few people who, because they were omniscient and omnipotent, introduced variables that did not belong to their own world to change the known future and make the world more interesting.

Of course, Tet had introduced two blank variables before, but he could still foresee the changes in the world. However, after the Thousand Hands arrived, he could no longer see the future at all. But this made Tet even happier. "I'm very interested in the game you mentioned. But let's take a look at this game first. I wonder if you want to participate?"

"Let's forget about it," Senju shook her head slightly, watching the battle between the Mahjong Demon King and the God. With a surge of conviction, her power passed through, "Ram and Rem, bring them back!"

"Yes, Lord Senju," the maid clasped her hands together, then emitted a soft wave of light, and disappeared with a group of people. Senju stared speechlessly at the group of people who had suddenly appeared in front of him. The god on the other side was stunned for a moment, then looked over as well.

"..." Senju glanced at Tetu, who had already disappeared, and then looked over there. The young goddess was floating towards them. "Do you know the 'theorem' of all things?"

"?" Senju looked at her in confusion, then realized that she was being questioned! Senju smiled at her, "You're talking about doubts and answers about everything, right? But, do you really exist? Does this world really exist? Have you ever doubted that everything about you is being controlled by someone?"

"You!" The young girl seemed taken aback by the question.

He looked around uncertainly, then looked at his own hands. "I do exist."

"Ah, Lord Senju, this is our prey!" Sora suddenly stood up and sighed, "Sigh, the plan has been disrupted again. He truly is my destined enemy."

"Hmm?" Senju looked at him with suspicion. "Do you intend to repeat the act of killing a god? But this is your prey, so what makes you say that?"

“Well, back in Elzia and the Eastern Union, this god was already our prey,” Sora said with a smile, spreading his hands. Hearing this, Senju remembered that this was the god that the priestess summoned at the end of the anime. “I see. It seems my trial will have to be postponed.”

"Well, I'm sorry about that too," Sora chuckled, "but this is my game, so I hope Lord Senju won't interfere."

“OK, anyway…” Senju nodded, then saw the brother and sister covering their ears. Now, they can’t even listen to their own voices? But don’t worry, I won’t spoil anything.

“I did hear your jest, but I can’t understand why you are so foolish and eager to die,” the young girl said, her empty gaze fixed on the void. This time, they removed their hands from their ears.

"Roll call! Number one, Sora, eighteen-year-old virgin! Your cool answer is 'Life is too short!'" Sora shouted with a laugh, then used his hand to block the strong wind coming from Kamui. "With the boss right in front of me, how can I miss this opportunity?"

"Number Two, Bai, eleven years old, doesn't have time to spare, waiting for the next opportunity..." Bai, who was swaying there, answered with his eyes half-open.

"Huh?! Number Three, Stephanie Dora, resolutely refused because she didn't want to die!"

"Number four, Jibril, the unworthy slave of Lord Kong and Miss Bai."

"Number Five—Bram, who's always been like air to me, I wisely let things take their course..." the vampire boy said with a dry laugh, but unfortunately, few people paid him any attention.

"Six, six, Desu? Itsuna~" Hatsuse Itsuna chimed in, then was pressed down on the head by the old man Ino and knelt down with him. "Please rest assured, priestess. Although they are a group of people who cannot be trusted at all, please leave them to us for that reason."

"Ah, we, we will definitely beat...that arrogant god, Tous!" Itsuna shouted, full of fighting spirit.

Chapter 1221 Gods and Recreation

Senju, standing nearby, didn't respond to their words. The girls around them watched curiously. The god looked at Senju, while Sora raised his hand and shouted, "Hey, God, this is the challenge I'm issuing to you! Let's begin! By the way, I still don't know your name."

"So what if I know her name? She's just a lowly being!" The god-like being said calmly, still looking at Senju. Sora said with a smile, "Huh? For an opponent who is about to suffer a crushing defeat, remembering her name should be the bare minimum of courtesy, right?"

God's displeasure caused a violent ripple around him, shaking the world and sending chills down everyone's spine. Senju shook his head slightly, "Don't underestimate people. This is someone who once defeated me."

"Hmph," the god snorted coldly, then looked indifferently at the blank space. She had no interest in the Thousand Hands anymore. "Then swear an oath. Use your own words to personally inscribe your death in this boring game."

"Wait, did I say something that made her particularly angry?" Sora said without realizing it. After all, as a victor, saying such things was as natural as breathing. But a god could be completely enraged by a casual remark from a tiny human being!

"Brother, it's alright, you didn't say anything special."

"I... I knew I didn't mean anything by it..."

Bai gave Kong a thumbs up, "Because, bro, just breathing can enrage someone!"

"No, no, it's the master! He actually plans to anger the god of death, how cunning!" Jibril, whose brain was infected by the blank virus, looked like a madwoman, and Bram and Ino next to her teased her.

"Ha, pointless emotions," Senju shook his head. Sure enough, all born saints have a high pursuit of face. Only a very few can get rid of this pointless thing. Of course, losing all integrity is not a good thing either.

However, the people on the Senju side all maintained their good personalities, didn't care much about face, and were full of integrity. Of course, Yukari Yakumo and Yuyuko, who emerged from the gap on the side, were not among them.

"Hehehe, something interesting seems to have happened," Yukari Yakumo said with a smile as she looked at the little goddess over there. In the meantime, she had studied this world quite thoroughly. It was similar to the Little Garden, but also very different. To put it simply, cheating was allowed here, while everything in the Little Garden was completely transparent.

"Mama Yukari~!!" Just as Yukari was about to do something, a voice came from below that greatly displeased her. Blank looked at her excitedly, her eyes gleaming with a terrifying light, "Lord Idle One, take us to Gensokyo! We want to be reincarnated in Gensokyo!"

"Tch," Yukari Yakumo realized she couldn't press her hand down on the other person's head anymore, so she reluctantly withdrew it. After hearing Blank's words, she immediately nodded with a smile, "Of course, I'll treat you well then."

"Waiting for you."

"Eek~" Blank shuddered at the sight of Yakumo Yukari's smile; they were reminded of the taboos of Gensokyo! Then their attention was drawn to Yakumo Ran, who had suddenly flown in. "Oh, oh, oh, it's the Nine-Tails' strategist! Her tail is amazing~"

"What?!" Itsuna and Ino stared in surprise at Yakumo Ran. They were also members of the fox clan, though they had never actually seen a nine-tailed fox before. Even the shrine maiden was only a two-tailed fox! They prostrated themselves deeply on the ground, while the gods beside them looked at her strangely.

"Lady Yukari, what happened here?" Yakumo Ran flew behind Yakumo Yukari, while Orange emerged from behind Ran. "Lady Yukari..."

"Well, it's just a mortal challenging a god," Yakumo Yukari said with a mysterious smile, while the blank space below her kept taking pictures, casually pulling out a cat toy and waving it around. "Oh, oh, it's Orange! So cute~ Come here, come here~"

"Meow~" Orange actually jumped over, while Senju helplessly rubbed his forehead, because he recognized that the cat toy was a prop he had sold.

However, Yakumo Ran was quick, catching Orange as she jumped down. She then coldly stared at the Blank siblings, who chuckled awkwardly for a moment before straightening up. "Well then, Lady Purple, we'll play with you again after this game is over, little kitty. See you later~"

"Bad guys!" Orange, now fully awake, was baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, while Blank bowed solemnly to the gods. "We were impolite. So, swear an oath to the covenant, and let the game begin!"

Then, everyone in the world witnessed the phenomenon. In an instant, the world was recreated. The absurd and irrational power of the gods shook the entire planet, transforming power into matter, and concepts were redefined.

However, Senju felt that this was somewhat similar to the creation act of the serpent of the festival. Perhaps the current scene is similar, with the gods imitating the process of the creation of the universe and giving birth to the earth in the sky.

The earth, born in the air, is in pieces, yet it stretches endlessly, eventually forming a spiral that seems to reach straight to the moon. Those who see this, even if they cannot understand what is happening, are instinctively reminded to tremble with fear.

As for those unfortunate enough to understand what is happening, reason will be frustrated by this chaotic reality and shudder at this illogical spectacle.

After all, what kind of being would be capable of performing miracles that defy common sense? Just as Gilgamesh said, fear is recorded in our genes!

But as everyone who witnessed this scene was praying, a huge burst of light erupted in the sky, breaking through the oppressive atmosphere.

Senju looked over there and realized that it was the Sky Island where Nami was, but why was there a huge Misaka Army on it? And wasn't that Misaka Mikoto in the sky?! Although her appearance was a little strange.

A complex and constantly fluctuating halo appeared on her head, and behind her were wings made of flashing lightning. Each bolt of lightning was faintly connected to the Misaka Sisters. Moreover, dark clouds were rapidly appearing above the Sky Island, and then bolts of lightning struck Misaka Mikoto. It was as if a lightning angel bathed in lightning pillars had appeared in the sky, or as if a small world of lightning had appeared.

"So this is Misaka Mikoto's Level 6 form?" Senju was surprised by her transformation. Although she didn't know how they got here, Senju knew that this world was also favoring Misaka Mikoto. As long as she obtained the essence of lightning, becoming a god-like being was a certainty.

Of course, even if she doesn't get it, in the near future, the essence of lightning will appear in Misaka Mikoto's body. She just needs to stay here for a few hundred years.

Chapter 1222 The Backgammon Game Begins

However, Misaka Mikoto's LV6 form didn't last long. She merely pushed aside the surrounding laws, and the floating island quickly descended. Nami and the long-bearded old man breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Xiao Dao emerge from the giant spiral in the sky, and immediately sat down on the ground. "Another world is really dangerous!"

"Phew," Misaka Mikoto also exited her LV6 form. To be honest, she had grown a lot in the Little Garden, witnessed the true gods, and with the research of the scientists in Academy City, the door to LV6 was finally opened for her. With a non-god's body, she comprehended the will of the gods. When she went all out, she had already reached the strength of a fourth-ranked god, that is, an ordinary god. However, she usually preferred to maintain her normal state.

In addition, the Misaka Sisters' usual research into various lightning-based magic, Taoist arts, and ninjutsu, along with the information on lightning transformation brought by the return of their teacher, Misaka, has greatly evolved the Misaka Sisters, giving them all the power of a half-step Level 6. With ten thousand half-step Level 6s of the same aura plus one true Level 6, they have the ability to temporarily break free from the constraints of the world.

However, when they landed and saw the strange-looking Senju, they chuckled awkwardly and scratched their heads before quickly and neatly running into a small hut.

"They didn't burst?" Senju muttered to himself, then looked at Misaka Mikoto, who was chuckling awkwardly. "Alright, stop hiding. I see you. Looks like I have to punish you."

“Uh,” Misaka Mikoto paused for a moment, then looked at Senju seriously, “If you want to punish someone, then punish me. I did all of this.”

“Misaka, you haven’t forgotten this, have you?” Senju tapped her head. “I know everything about Misaka Networks, and besides, you can’t carry out the punishment alone.”

"Uh~" Misaka Mikoto was speechless for a moment, because countless Misaka Sisters' complaints popped into her mind. Senju continued, "The punishment I'm talking about is to make the Misaka Sisters maintain order in the newly built town. You can't do it alone."

"..." Misaka Mikoto typed a string of ellipses in her mind and uploaded it to the internet. Then she became the younger sisters' adorable pet and the object of their teasing. Soon she blushed, of course, blushed with anger. These were all her younger sisters, after all, they should show some respect to their older sister!

To Senju's delight, while the sisters were making fun of Misaka Mikoto, they didn't forget Senju's words. Thousands of Misaka Sisters flew out of the small house, and the entire haunted town became lively. Although the customers' attention was drawn to the spectacle in the sky, they still felt a chill when they saw a large number of identical girls. However, after watching for a while, they found that the girls were actually quite cute.

Seeing this earth-shattering feat, Yukari Yakumo floated over with a smile. "Lady Senju, aren't you going to participate in this game? Such a large-scale game is rare even in the Little Garden."

"Well, this has nothing to do with me," Senju shrugged. The laws of this world are already in place. Senju may pick up scraps, but he still respects the owner (Tetu) when it comes to important things.

"Alright, let's go prepare our venue," Senju waved her hand, interrupting Yakumo Yukari's words. "You can also take a look and see how we can create sound and light effects that surpass the current game."

“This is a little difficult,” Yukari Yakumo gently fanned herself with her fan. “However, surpassing this is interesting… Let me first see the God Game of this world!”

"Well, let's take a look then," Senju waved his hand, and everyone arrived at the arena he had built, then sat in the audience seats. Senju clapped his hands, and a huge light screen appeared on the arena, showing seven bewildered people and a god with an indifferent expression.

"Game start condition one: the challengers' memories of the past twenty-four hours - collection confirmation."

"?" Senju wondered to himself. So memories really can be modified? That means mutual harm in the game is also possible. But thinking about it, it makes sense. Senju and Jibril did fight, but he was distracted by Sora and only just realized it now.

After all, this is very important to Kong. Facing an opponent who can overturn the table at any time, how can you prevent the other party from hurting you? One is to make the other party understand that you are useful to them. The other is to make the other party believe that hurting you is wrong and unacceptable. In this way, two people who could not be equal before can get along equally.

Of course, there's also the most important third point: once the other party realizes it, they won't dwell on it. Well, Senju doesn't care about that anyway. After all, the essence of this world is deception, using all sorts of means to win a hard-fought competition.

Of course, more importantly, Sora's activities did not cause any damage to Senju; on the contrary, they reduced some of his troubles! But as expected, he and Sora were still somewhat incompatible; there were significant differences between them.

Senju claims to love humanity, but his feelings for them are actually quite indifferent, while Sora is the opposite. Senju loves strength, while Sora loves strategy. Senju cannot perform attention-grabbing actions like Sora. Finally, Senju also knows that he doesn't understand human nature very well, or to put it bluntly, he doesn't understand it at all, but Sora does!

However, the god over there paid no attention to what Senju was thinking, and continued to say, "Second, possession, commonly known as the confirmation of the priestess's life collection, is considered a condition for the start of the game."

"What? Witch, priestess!" The group inside was stunned. Then the group outside also saw that there was a figure lying on the white wooden steps directly below the floating deity.

"A twin-tailed fox?" Yakumo Ran called out softly. Yakumo Yukari, who was lazily drinking in her seat, tilted her head slightly. "Do you need my help?"

"No, Lady Murasaki, those are not my kind," Yakumo Ran calmly shook her head as she looked at the two foxes embracing the shrine maiden and wailing in the scene. She was Lady Murasaki's shikigami, and those little foxes here were not her kind either. She just sighed a little. The two-tailed foxes that were so beautiful were now devoid of any life.

Sora seemed somewhat incredulous as well. He never expected that the priestess would lose her life at the very beginning of the game. However, the god on this side simply looked indifferently at the void and said, "Alright, the 'backgammon' (an ancient board game in which the movement of pieces is determined by rolling dice, and the first player to move all the pieces off the board wins) that you all wished for shall begin immediately. I hereby announce the rules."

Then she announced a whole bunch of rules. Simply put, the contestants would divide their age into ten dice. Losing a die would cause them to lose the corresponding age and become younger. Gaining a die would increase their age by one-tenth of their current age. For example, Bai, who is eleven years old now, would become a one-year-old baby if he lost nine dice, but his mind would remain the same. Gaining ten dice would make him twenty-two years old.

However, among the contestants was a traitor whose memories had not been collected.

The number of squares a contestant can advance

The number of dice is determined by the person holding the dice throwing all the dice in their hand; each time a die is thrown, one die is lost.

Of course, participants can also form teams, but they can only advance the number rolled by one person. If there are more than two people, they will lose 'team size x companions' dice for each roll. In other words, if three people are together, they will have to pay 3 x 2, or six dice, each time.
