Hearing the Arbitrator's voice, the gods fell silent for a mont, seemingly finding his words quite reasonable and sowhat irrefutable.
[War God] spoke up quietly:
[Can we take direct action against them now? Have they reached that level?]
"Of course... not!"
Hearing this, the Arbitrator almost felt speechless.
This guy actually still wants to directly attack the players? That doesn't seem right, does it?
"If there really are too many obstacles, we can allow you to directly participate in the ga, coexisting with the players in the sa ga."
"And in fact, I don't think it's very likely this kind of thing will happen in their world."
"I think this should be sufficient enough..."
"I'm already pushing the upper limit of the rule modifications, are you that eager to personally cut soone down?"
[War] didn't speak further, but at this mont, [Pleasure] seed to suddenly think of sothing and blurted out:
[Haha! Good, a fine plan. I'm actually already starting to look forward to it, hehe.]
[Then, if They lose to the players, what will They pay?]
As he spoke, Pleasure extended a finger shimring with a kaleidoscope of colors, tracing a circle in the air pointing at the gods before him.
[Both sides need to have stakes for the ga to be interesting. What's the fun in a gamble you can only win?]
Anyone could tell that Pleasure's words carried a hint of ill intent, even completely aid at stirring the pot. But due to the nature of his identity, the gods seed long accustod to it.
As for the price, they actually knew that according to the ga's requirents, They would definitely have to put up sothing as well, although it was impossible for Them to lose...
Watching the conversation on the scene gradually turn serious, the Arbitrator also felt greatly relieved and continued speaking:
"I said, our fundantal goal is to bypass Sin, so a ga directly pitting us against the players most likely still won't happen."
"If it really does happen, if they lose, they die. There's no other path."
"But if they win, you must give a portion of your power to them. Hmm, exactly what was ntioned last ti, becoming so-called spokespersons."
The gods were slightly stunned, actually taking a mont to think it over, but their train of thought was soon interrupted by a burst of grating, loud laughter.
[Pleasure] leaned back, laughing wildly and unrestrainedly.
[Hahaha! Look at all of you, you're actually starting to think about it! Against those guys, you're actually starting to consider the possibility of losing?]
[I think you might as well give up, just die early like that guy Agony.]
[Pleasure] was very brazenly launching a full-map taunt. Well, in Agony's absence, he could almost be considered the second most annoying guy.
But his words did remind the gods. Lose? How could there be any possibility of losing if They personally entered the fray?
"If you lose... actually, you just can't take direct action. The ga rules, how to play, what to play, are all decided by you."
The Arbitrator said indifferently.
"So, the odds of winning are still very high."
[Odds of winning?!]
A very displeased voice ca through. This was [Knowledge], unable to hold back from speaking.
[Other than winning, is there any other possibility?]
[I don't know why you all give that guy called Sin so much face. Are you worried about Agony? I don't think even Agony is anything special. I'm actually quite looking forward to the ga happening.]
[I don't even need to lift a finger. Even if I don't move a single finger against him, there's no way he could beat !]
Ever since he personally witnessed "Sin" last ti, [Knowledge] had been very displeased. That "Sin" was nothing special, just soone who got lucky skirting the edges of the ga rules.
The gods seed to share common interests, but in reality, they had always been fighting amongst themselves. No one truly took him seriously, which was why they let him be.
Who would have thought that this indulgence would lead to him actually daring to throw his weight around.
[Hahahahaha!] Pleasure's ambiguous, loud laughter appeared again, causing [Knowledge] to look over.
[Good, good, good. Since that's the case, I'm quite looking forward to it.]
[If all of you could lose once in the ga, that would truly be interesting.]
Hearing [Pleasure]'s voice, so gods finally couldn't hold back anymore. [Despair] spoke up:
[There's no need to asure others by your own standards. If you yourself think you might lose to those players, then you truly deserve to die.]
[Pleasure] shook his finger with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of sickness as he said:
[No, that's an impossibility. I can only win.]
[Because if I truly lose, that would definitely be a very interesting thing. That ans I've won.]
[Of course, I also don't know how to lose. Winning would be just perfect.]
Watching him ramble on like this, the gods no longer paid him any mind, simply assuming that after so long, his energy was starting to beco unstable.
Seeing that things had finally settled down, with no more arguing and no further trouble for himself, the Arbitrator imdiately hurriedly continued:
"Since that's the case, I have drafted a ga patch proposal for your review."
As he spoke, he casually waved his hand. Countless points of light were scattered out, dancing and floating in the sky, landing on the virtual projections of every god.
"After you've all reviewed it, we will discuss modifications based on the specific content and hold a vote. The old rules apply..."
"In this ga, only rules passed by all gods can be modified! Otherwise, it will cause chaos within the ga."
......
"These guys have started discussing sothing again, very quietly."
In the basent, during an interlude in their joint discussion and contemplation, Grand Elder Nie Jiu Tian suddenly spoke.
Perfect Life found it a bit awkward to hear. He still found it hard to believe that this wizened old man sitting here could actually hear the movents of the gods.
"The frequency of their discussions has increased. Starting from your generation's ga, or rather, from the mont Sin began to show his prominence, their discussions have beco more and more frequent."
Nie Jiu Tian said with so gravity.
"From this perspective, Agony saying They are very anxious is probably true..."
"It's just that we still don't know what exactly they're anxious about." Xie Antong added a sentence, sowhat suspecting this might be Their weakness.
"The next ga has been silent for a while. Is the ga brewing sothing?" Perfect Life spoke up.
"That's inevitable." Nie Jiu Tian nodded. "I speculate the ga likely must modify the rules, forcing Them to win. You need to be careful..."
"It's possible that next ti, what you face directly might not be a Divine ssenger, but a god!"
As his words fell, suddenly, the ga interfaces before all four individuals simultaneously sounded the long-unheard ga notification tone!
[To all the people of Blue Star.]
[Please consider: Should CHOSEN'S PARADISE! open its doors to all citizens!]
[In three hours, we will hold a... global referendum!]
