Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

There were even unruly deities who attempted to obtain the methods for making cosmetics through illegitimate means.

One storm after another swept through Orario, stirring up waves that gradually turned the seemingly peaceful city into a stage for undercurrents, increasing both overt and covert struggles...

In response, some of the gods at the apex of the labyrinth city of Orario expressed indifference and did not restrain their familias, while others expressed their unwillingness to participate and restrained their familias...

In short, without strict prohibition, the labyrinth city is becoming increasingly chaotic.

The external chaos did not bother Fang Rui and Hephaestus, who were focused on their research.

"Recently, Orario has been quite chaotic, with a tendency to host war games."

In the workshop, Loki, carrying a jug of wine, sat in the corner of the room, looking at Fang Rui and Hephaestus, and said softly.

Upon hearing this, Hephaestus's expression changed slightly, and he paused in drawing the design.

Fang Rui's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was very casual: "Are you planning to get involved and clean up the enemy's clans?"

“No! I’m not interested.” Loki refused outright.

Orario is already in chaos, and with the Loki Familia, one of the strongest Familias, adding to the chaos, Orario is likely to really erupt into a chaotic war.

"Tell me more about the situation?" Hephaestus asked.

She cares a lot about the stability of Orario. Some gods and their kin have a relationship that is close to that of family, some gods and their kin have a relationship that is close to that of superiors and subordinates, and some gods don't care much at all.

Hephaestus is a god who cares about his clan. Fang Rui couldn't say for sure what his relationship with his clan members was like, but he certainly cared about it a lot.

In her view, if Orario were truly in such chaos, she would certainly devise corresponding countermeasures just in case.

"The cause of the matter is simple: cosmetics and new weapons. Around these two things, conflicts between different clans were ignited, starting with small frictions and gradually escalating into large-scale battles..."

"I wouldn't believe it if you said there wasn't someone pulling the strings behind the scenes, but I haven't been able to find out who it is."

"Is it that they didn't find it, or are there too many options?" Fang Rui pointed out the key issue.

“There are too many options…” Loki said, spreading his hands. “There are many gods who don’t want to be content with the status quo, but they don’t have the power to break it. Now that they see an opportunity to disrupt the existing order, they can’t wait to jump out and cause trouble…”

"This is... infuriating!"

The Labyrinth City has already undergone a reshuffle, and the title of the strongest Familia has changed hands once. As a beneficiary of this situation, Loki is very familiar with and sensitive to it. She can guess what the ultimate goal of certain individuals is as soon as they show their intentions.

Trying to reap the benefits is not such an easy thing.

"How about we resolve everything?" Fang Rui raised his hand and waved it from left to right.

"No, Lachia has been trying to conquer Orario, but Orario's military strength is too great, making them dare not attack rashly. If internal strife breaks out in Orario, Lachia will definitely attack afterward."

Loki slowly shook her head, rejecting Fang Rui's suggestion. If there were no external enemies, she would not have accepted Fang Rui's suggestion either, since such behavior would arouse the hostility of other clans, which was not suitable for her.

"So... what are you planning to do?" Fang Rui asked.

"My idea is... to do nothing, wait for the most aggressive members of the clan to emerge, and then send some idiots back to the realm of the gods."

As Loki spoke, Fang Rui did not offer any opinion. Hephaestus was thinking about how to control her Familia, but after thinking about it for a while, she realized that the relationship between Hephaestus Familia and most other Familias was fairly good, after all, they ran a weapons shop.

The only issue is that the relationships between colleagues are not very friendly.

Just in case, let's give them a copy of the newly developed weapon design drawings!

After listening to Loki's account, Fang Rui asked, "So... why did you bring this up in front of me today?"

"I'm just looking for some weapons here because I see war games are inevitable!"

Loki said quite naturally.

"Weapons..." Fang Rui nodded slightly, "Of course, no problem. I happen to have a batch of weapons ready for testing."

Later, he asked, "When will the war games begin?"

"The first war game will probably appear within a month..."

To initiate a war game, both sides' factions need to apply to the guild, and the gods must witness it.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, war games cannot be held.

The consequences of losing a war game are quite severe, so clans will not engage in war games unless they reach a certain point.

"A month? That's not enough time..."

With his power sealed, many skills are unusable. Fang Rui's current weapon-making methods... aside from swinging a hammer, only the Divine Refinement technique is usable...

However, even with both factors combined, it's impossible to turn his idea into reality within a month...

Thinking this, Fang Rui looked down at his chest and thought: I promised not to break the seal again, but you wouldn't know if I broke the seal, so isn't that the same as not breaking the seal at all?

With some of the seals broken, Fang Rui, who can now use more skills, has seen a rapid increase in processing speed.

Seeing this, Hephaestus, who had learned how to break some of the seals, also followed suit.

After the seal was broken, Hephaestus displayed a forging skill that was "exaggerated".

If what was once a superb skill has now become an outrageous skill.

He truly deserves to be called the God of Forging!

I really want to take her home!

With their combined efforts, all sorts of magic stone technologies were produced. Loki would occasionally come to the workshop to take a look, and his expression would change every time he saw the newly added magic stone technologies.

"I can't wait for the war games to start!"

………………

Outside the workshop, as Loki had said, the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic.

The existence of deities is quite ancient, and they are not beings devoid of desires; therefore, friction is a normal occurrence.

The Familias in Orario have existed for quite some time, and with the exception of a few, there is friction between the Familias.

The reason everything remained peaceful was that the bomb neither detonated nor had the opportunity to do so...

Now that the time has come, the problem has surfaced, and with some people fanning the flames, it is impossible to solve the problem in a short time; the fire will only burn bigger and bigger.

The Freya Familia, also one of the top Familias, showed no intention of stopping the chaos.

No matter how much trouble the other clans cause, it's not so easy to threaten her position.

Just like the Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia, as long as the high-ranking combatants of the two families are safe, who would dare to provoke them?

They possess absolute power, and that's how confident they are.

Watching the chaotic situation in Orario like an outsider, the details of the instigating clans have been investigated, and they are waiting to settle scores later.

Those clans that had not participated in the fighting reduced their visits to the underground labyrinth.

The conflicts between clans do not occur in bustling commercial streets and residential areas, but generally take place in underground labyrinths and ruins, in order to avoid disrupting the normal operation of the city.

That is to say, the business of weapon shops and medicine shops has improved a bit, with people buying weapons and medicines every day.

In addition, residents on the edge of the ruins area often hear the roar of explosions.

However, all the clans held back and did not use the new weapons, since no one wanted to destroy the labyrinth city.

On the other hand, news of the chaotic situation in Orario was also carried by merchants to other countries.

The world is vast, containing more than one nation. Not all gods are gathered in Orario, not to mention that Orario has driven out many gods in the past.

It's fair to say that Orario has many enemies.

After learning of the chaos in Orario, some other nations became restless and sent people to investigate for more details.

The nation that took the most obvious action was undoubtedly the military power of Lachia. As a nation ruled by Ares, the god of war, this nation was extremely warlike and frequently waged wars, affecting a considerable number of races and nations...

The other side still exists today because of its formidable military strength.

Orario also has forces to investigate external affairs. Some of the Orario gods are aware of the actions of other nations, such as Loki and Freya...

As a top-tier clan, they are extremely well-informed.

Shortly after the exploration teams from other countries entered Orario, the two gods already knew that Freya had not consulted anyone and was living alone at the top of the Tower of Babel.

Loki then sought out Fang Rui and Hephaestus to discuss this matter...

"If you want to get a new weapon within a month, don't bother me every now and then!"

Fang Rui said irritably that he and Hephaestus were working diligently when a drunkard was making a racket nearby, making him want to hit her with a hammer.

“Don’t say that! I’m very serious.” Loki shouted, holding up the wine jug. “If Lachia attacks, it will be a very troublesome matter.”

"Ares is a very annoying guy. His goal in coming to the mortal realm is to start a war and experience war..."

"If he gets Orario, he'll definitely turn it into a military camp, train his troops in the underground labyrinth, and then conquer other places, and then the whole country will be engulfed in war..."

"A world ravaged by war is not interesting at all!"

Compared to Loki, Hephaestus was more familiar with Ares, and she didn't correct Loki's comments about Ares.

In her opinion, although Loki's words were somewhat biased, they were generally correct.

Ares was indeed passionate about war and training warriors.

"What you say makes sense, but what you're talking about has nothing to do with me?"

Rather, Fang Rui was actually looking forward to Ares' attack. If the battle became too intense, he could take the opportunity to move the underground labyrinth...

To be precise, it was an attempt to move the underground labyrinth. After all, the underground labyrinth did not seem ordinary and had a very high status. Even if he went all out, he might not be able to do it.

But there's no harm in giving it a try; it won't hurt.

If we get caught, we can just run away.

Upon hearing this, Loki thought about it seriously for a while and realized that Lachia's attack had nothing to do with Fang Rui. He had very little contact with Orario, and only three cooperative relationships.

There was no deep connection or friendship established.

"Ahem!" Loki coughed, stopping his thoughts, and changed the subject, "Let's chat! I'm pretty free anyway."

Fang Rui, who was using telekinesis to support the liquid metal and control the flames, smiled kindly upon hearing Loki's words. He turned to look at Loki and said, word by word, "Are you sure I'm free?!"

Hephaestus glanced at the unprocessed materials on his left and the unassembled parts on his right, and also looked at Loki with hostility. With so many things to do, how could Loki have the nerve to say he was "idle"?

"Ahem!" Loki coughed again and said, "I mean, I'm very free!"

Fang Rui and Hephaestus: "………… You're here to cause trouble… right!"

"Don't forget, you're supposed to cooperate with me in this experiment. If you keep causing me trouble, don't blame me for being inhuman and giving you a hard time!" Fang Rui said fiercely.

"Is your 'fuss' even serious?" Loki blurted out upon hearing this.
