Dicuo, the mechanic from heaven

That's why I can't accept the "plan" of the goddess.

That...a plan that requires sacrificing Haruhime.

That is why Aisha wanted to ask Al for a favor.

"Please accept Haruhime, even if it's just pretending, and love this child, please."

As long as El "falls in love" with Haruhime.

Then.

The girl would not be abandoned by the goddess, or in other words, the plan that required her sacrifice would not be carried out.

That’s what Aisha thought.

Sometimes, being alive is more important than anything else, at least for those who really care about the girl.

"??!"

Eh hey hey? !

Haruhime didn't show much "expression" towards Aisha's sudden words. The fox girl had already adopted the mentality that "this is OK".

For her.

It seems that just being able to stay with El is a very happy thing. As for the rest, I don't dare to ask for it at all.

But Artemis was shocked all of a sudden.

Confess your feelings.

Is this a confession of some kind?!

And it’s so weird!!

What do you mean, "It's okay to just pretend to love someone?" What kind of touching and sad love story is this?!

In response to this, Al simply lowered his eyes slightly and spoke softly.

"There are better solutions, and this doesn't have to be the case."

as usual.

El understood what Aisha meant - although, he really didn't know what plan Ishtar originally wanted Haruhime to "execute".

But it's just as I felt from the beginning.

Goddess Ishtar's idea is unrealistic and stupid. To carry it out is a sign of mental illness, and if one has to sacrifice one's life for it, it is even more ridiculous.

"Do you want to stop the goddess?"

Aisha seemed to understand what Al was going to do.

"Do not."

Al shook his head and said calmly.

"I want her to give up."

"..."

give up?

That's the goddess, how could she give up her jealousy and hatred so easily?

But Al thought of course.

because……

……

"War Games?!"

Ishtar and her family members live in the luxurious hotel in the port city of Melen.

It was also here that I met Al.

But what no one expected was that the first sentence the boy said when he came up was this.

Want to start a war game with the Ishtar clan? !

"In the name of Artemis's Familia, but since none of its members are currently in Orario, I'm requesting external assistance. Or, to put it bluntly, we'll only send one Level 4 adventurer to participate."

Al's "abacus beads" were about to shatter into everyone's faces! !

Even silly Artemis.

At this moment, they looked at the boy beside them in disbelief.

no……

You from the Demeter family, why are you starting a war game in the name of my Artemis family?!

and……

What does "We only have one LV4 adventurer" mean?

Isn't that the elf girl you're referring to? !

and so.

Even the girl god noticed it.

Is El going to use the Ishtar Familia as experience packs for that girl named Liu Liong? ! !

It really is.

Because Al thought that if he wanted to improve his strength, upgrading would definitely be the most immediate way.

Well, although I don't know how Liu's great achievements are going now, I can't accompany her to the dungeon to fight the lonely king of the maze alone, right?

Besides, whether it is the two-headed dragon on the 27th floor or the Udaeus on the 38th floor, it is far from time for them to refresh.

That's perfect then.

Doesn’t the Ishtar clan have a LV5? If we can defeat them, it should be no problem to get the upgraded feat, right?

And halfway.

After learning about Haruhime's "magic", Al felt that his plan was more reliable.

There are so many LV3 adventurers in the Ishtar clan, including one LV4 and one LV5. Even if they were upgraded with the [Treasure Hammer], they would still be defeated by Liu.

This should be enough for the elf girl to level up, right?

It's not just this idea.

There is.

"The winner of the war game can make any demands on the other clan."

El looked directly at the beautiful god who was sitting not far from him.

Apparently to solve "all problems" once and for all.

not only.

After winning, he would get all the information about the other party and the dark clan from the other party, and by the way, let Haruhime be "liberated".

"You came here just to tell me this?"

"of course."

"Interesting... Children from the underworld are always so interesting."

Ishtar chuckled.

The goddess, who had healthy and vibrant tan skin like most Amazon women, wore a rather revealing dress, held her golden pipe, and looked herself up and down.

"Then, if I win, you will be mine~"

"Ah."

"Are you so sure?"

"Yes, that's for sure."

"I really like your courage."

Ishtar stood up.

The beautiful goddess licked her lips lightly, as if she had felt the heat in her heart slowly surging out.

If she had previously thought that Al was a strong and good man and a good "love partner".

Then.

For the young man who dared to challenge the god directly, and even declared that he wanted to become his "property".

Such a domineering and confident look.

Even Ishtar felt a certain heartbeat.

not to mention.

Al continued to add fuel to the fire.

"If you can't even defeat me, Goddess, you are definitely no match for Freya."

Blinking.

"In other words, if you can't even win this obviously advantageous match, then with your almost non-existent mind, clouded by jealousy, it's impossible for you to defeat Freya's Familia by outmaneuvering the strong."

"What did you say?!"

Even as a god, this was the first time in her life that Ishtar, the goddess of beauty, was "insulted" by a mortal.

Despite the sudden wrath of God, El remained unmoved.

just.

Continue to speak softly.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Chapter 101 War Game——【Island Survival War】

The gods have many "promises".

This is to avoid the abuse of divine power that would lead to the destruction of the underworld, and also to allow themselves (the gods) to find their own fun in the long and boring time.

But the gods are not unanimous.

Except for the dark gods who dominate the evil side such as death, destruction, pain, etc.

As the gods of "justice", there are also frictions and conflicts among themselves, and in order to prevent such conflicts from escalating and leading to the collapse of Orario or even the underworld.

The gods made an agreement.

Any conflict can be resolved through "war games".

It was both an honorable and fair duel;

It is also a game in which the gods use the children of their families as pawns;

Logically speaking, the start of the war game requires the convening of a meeting of gods on the Tower of Babel in Orario, under the witness of all gods.

The gods of the two warring factions agreed on the format of the "war game," as well as the "fruits of victory" each would claim from the other after victory.

and so.

Al is like this now.

It was actually illegal to directly request a war game from Ishtar without informing the guild and other gods.

This was equivalent to a "war game" that he had privately agreed upon with Ishtar in the name of Artemis.

And there is no guarantee from the gods.

Whether the game will be truly "fair and open" and whether the losing party will fulfill its agreement are both questions.

But Al wasn't worried about that.

because.
