After the words of Life fell, the scene instantly quieted down, as if this issue had never been considered before.
The Arbitrator also retreated to the side with a submissive deanor, secretly observing.
He wasn't there to act as a spy for Lu Ce; he was simply a bit curious and wanted to see which god Sin would face next.
After all, the last ti Knowledge stepped forward, he was exceptionally confident, as if he could casually end this extraordinarily powerful anomaly jumping around among humans.
At that ti, the Arbitrator actually thought the sa.
But now, he was exceptionally conflicted. On one hand, he actually sowhat wanted to use that god's hand to directly eliminate Sin.
On the other hand, he wasn't entirely sure if Sin could die at this mont, or if he would bite back when dying.
anwhile, the silence didn't last too long. Pleasure was the first to speak.
"Haha, why is no one talking? Could it be that after Knowledge's defeat last ti, no one dares to take over now?"
As if he couldn't speak properly, his opening words were a deliberate group taunt.
"But that's just fine. Why not let do it then?"
After Pleasure finished speaking with a laugh, the Arbitrator beside him slightly furrowed his brows and spoke.
"But... it seems you already have your own player to deal with, right? That person called Blank seems quite capable too."
"Tsk, is it really that troubleso?" Pleasure frowned in dissatisfaction.
"The ga format used with her last ti probably can't be used again. If used again, I'm afraid each of you will start snarling at ."
"She's a bit boring. Sin is more fun. I've discovered that lass only shows a bit of amusent when she's with Sin."
As he spoke, he looked at the Arbitrator.
"Let's settle it like this. But, starting from the next ga, there must be clear standards for victory and defeat. Situations like the one with Knowledge last ti cannot happen again."
The Arbitrator was a bit at a loss for words. Honestly, he didn't want to officiate the match between Sin and Pleasure.
A ga between two madn was far too difficult to adjudicate.
"Wait a mont, aren't you getting a bit too excited, Pleasure? When did that guy beco yours?"
Suddenly, Life spoke.
"Indeed, I just didn't have ti to speak earlier."
On the other side, War's voice, carrying a tallic quality and brimming with killing intent, spoke.
"This person is mine. I've had my eye on him for a long ti. There's no discussion on this matter!"
The atmosphere in this giant palace-like space instantly grew tense. The gods were actually starting to fight over a person, as if Sin was so unique, coveted prize.
The Arbitrator watched, dumbfounded. He didn't quite understand. What was there to fight over?
This wasn't about choosing a successor! This was about selecting the appropriate person to eliminate him, to ensure humanity could be directly annihilated in the next ga.
Did these guys have so obsession with securing the first kill on him?
Just as he was thinking this, Death suddenly spoke as well.
"Everyone, stop arguing. You've made the Arbitrator unsure of what to say."
Arbitrator: ?
"Since the participants for the last god-player wager have already been decided, those of you with assigned opponents shouldn't join the fray."
"If you all want to personally kill him so badly, why not listen to my suggestion..."
......
In the Dragon Group's basent, after Lu Ce was sent away by Xie Antong, everyone present was trying the thod of fusing with Divine Power: Role-Play Assimilation.
This was also Nie Jiu Tian's intention. After all, with him, the Dragon Group's number one, present, he could sowhat control the direction if these top players lost control.
Ding!
Right at that mont, the Ga's notification tone rang in everyone's mind, causing them all to jolt in unison.
Subsequently, their expressions all began to turn sowhat complex.
"To all the Chosen, the countdown to the next ga's start: 48:00:00."
"Due to many players achieving victory in the last god-player wager, this will again be a special mode."
"Please choose whether to beco a Player or a Spectator."
"As for the players participating in the god-player wager gas, you will automatically join the ga after it starts. Please be ntally prepared."
A heavy, oppressive atmosphere settled in the basent.
After truly coming into contact with the Divine Power within their bodies, all of them experienced a noticeable increase in strength.
Yet, no one was happy.
That feeling of a firefly competing with the bright moon made it sound like a death knell was tolling for them.
After remaining silent for a long while, Xie Antong finally spoke again.
"Everyone, since things have co to this, then... let's be prepared."
"The thod to enhance strength has been shared. At the very least, at the final critical mont, we all still have a chance to fight for our lives."
"The gods are strong. Encouraging words feel sowhat hollow. In two days, let's... march together towards the Yellow Springs!"
As he spoke, he picked up a bowl of wine that had been poured beside him and drank it down in one gulp.
The other players did the sa. As long as they weren't prohibited from drinking due to religious beliefs, they all drank it down in one go.
This wine had been poured earlier by the Grand Elder. Just monts ago, they didn't feel this ritual held much aning, but now drinking it, there was indeed a tragic, heroic feeling that needed no further words.
Nie Jiu Tian also stood up and spoke.
"After finishing the wine, I won't keep you all in my humble place any longer."
"There's nothing too fearso about the gods. After all, 'Sin' has already proven it—They can die too, right?"
"Two days... everyone, please return ho as soon as possible."
No one said much more. Silently, they put down their bowls, nodded respectfully towards the Grand Elder, and began walking out.
After exiting, Dragon Group personnel were at the door to guide them, leading them out of the maze-like underground nuclear rooms towards the location of the helicopters outside.
By the ti almost everyone had left, just as Xie Antong was thinking about whether to go ho or directly find Lu Ce, a voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Blank."
Xie Antong turned around and found Chiyo Eine standing behind her.
"Can you use your ability to give a lift?"
Xie Antong: ...
"Where do you want to go? I can only go to places I know, with clear locations."
Chiyo Eine smiled radiantly.
"We first t in Tokyo, right?"
"I still rember the street where we fought when we first t, right next to the Tokyo TV Tower."
"Do you rember?"
