Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Loki: "…………" Oh no! =????(????) I misspoke~

Hephaestus: "…………" You've got some nerve! (＿＿)ノ｜wall

Fang Rui: "…………" I'm being serious, why are you making lewd jokes at me?

Extinguishing the flames and shaping the liquid metal into a metal rod, Fang Rui, with a slightly sinister smile, slowly walked towards Loki.

Upon seeing this, Loki shuddered, as if a chill ran from her tailbone straight to her forehead.

Without the slightest hesitation, Loki turned and fled.

Hephaestus did not stop Loki, but stepped aside to watch the show.

The outcome of the battle between Loki, whose seal is still intact, and Fang Rui, whose seal has been partially broken, is obvious.

"Hey! Let go of me! Stop lifting me! My neck hurts!"

Loki, who was being held in Fang Rui's hand, protested, but Fang Rui ignored him completely.

He was thinking about how to fix Loki...

I have some ideas, but they're not very convenient to implement...

In short, let's bleed Loki a little first!

The blood of gods has many uses, especially since the gods of this world are of a very high level of existence...

Chapter 362 War Games

External threats did not stop the fighting between the various clans; on the contrary, they acted as fuel, making the fighting between the clans even more intense, as if they wanted to determine a winner as soon as possible.

Therefore, the war game appeared earlier than Loki had anticipated.

The War Game is a "game" in which the Adventurers' Guild acts as arbitrator and the gods serve as witnesses.

The game content will be decided by both sides through negotiation. If one side chooses to forfeit, the other side will decide the game format.

Generally, no participant will give up the right to choose the competition method, which means that even if a war game is decided to be held, its actual implementation is relatively slow.

You seem pretty excited!

After listening to Loki's account, Fang Rui said this, and Hephaestus nodded slightly in agreement.

Most gods are quite excited when they hear that war games are going to be held, since the reason gods come to the mortal world is to seek fun.

War games are undoubtedly a lot of fun.

“It’s quite interesting after all…” Loki did not deny this.

"Aren't you worried that things will get out of control?" Fang Rui asked, somewhat curious.

“Don’t worry!” Loki slowly shook his head.

She later explained, "The level difference among adventurers is very significant; the higher the level, the stronger the abilities!"

"Moreover, the acquisition of skills is related to the adventurer's experience. With the underground labyrinth as a training ground, adventurers in Orario have more types of skills than adventurers in other areas, and there are also more high-level combatants."

"Ultimately, one of Ares's goals in continuously waging war is to allow his clan members to accumulate achievements and achieve promotions..."

"In other words, without much damage to their top combat power, they were able to withstand the attack from Lachia."

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui remained silent, as he lacked understanding of either Orario or Lachia.

As for Hephaestus, she has a good understanding of Orario's top combat power.

Level 1 adventurers of level 5 and above are mostly concentrated in a few of the stronger Familias in Orario, with a few scattered among other Familias.

As long as the strongest tier of Familias doesn't lose too much overall strength, Orario's overall strength won't decrease too much.

"Very confident!" Fang Rui remarked softly.

It's unclear whether Loki's statement is fact or simply arrogance...

"By the way..." a thought suddenly struck him, and he asked, "Are there any Familias challenging the Loki Familias?"

"No." Loki spread his hands. As one of the strongest Familias, the Loki Familia is renowned in Orario for its formidable strength. No Familia would challenge the Loki Familia without being 100% certain of victory, even if driven by feelings of hatred or anger.

"I do hope that one or two members of my clan will come and challenge me, so that I can break free from spectator mode and truly join the game..."

As she spoke, Loki's gaze fell upon the workshop's shelves, where one after another, exquisite "figures" in transparent glass jars came into view.

These "figures" are all weapons, just shrunk down and stored in special containers.

"I really want to try out the power of the new weapon; it must be incredibly powerful."

Loki, feeling restless, suddenly had the idea of ​​attacking other clans.

Unfortunately, war games can only be played voluntarily by both sides; if one side disagrees, the game cannot be held.

'But giving up like this feels a bit unfair!'

Thinking this, Loki's eyes lit up, and an idea came to him.

Since no other clans are causing trouble, she can help the clans she has a good relationship with by providing them with weapons...

Speaking of which, the Mikhe Familia has been having some trouble lately...

Loki seemed thoughtful as he spoke of the matter: "The Mih Familia is being targeted by rivals and is in quite a precarious situation lately."

The Mih Familia is a support-type family that runs a pharmacy. The family's overall combat strength is very weak, with almost no warriors worth mentioning.

Their competitors also run pharmacies. As mentioned before, some goddesses have ordinary strength, while others have great strength. The same is true for the gods who possess the ability to "make medicine".

Therefore, the Mih clan is currently in a rather dire situation.

Fang Rui stopped drawing and turned to Loki: "Just say it! There's no need to beat around the bush..."

Hephaestus, who was watching Fang Rui draw the diagram, also turned his gaze to see what Loki had to say.

"Send Mih some weapons! He's a partner after all; we can't just stand by and watch him get bullied!"

Loki smiled slightly and offered his suggestion.

"Although I have serious doubts about your true motives, what you said does make sense."

Fang Rui said this, then thought about it seriously for a moment. He had seen Mihe's family members before...

There wasn't a single one who could fight.

Giving conventional weapons to the Mih clan will only increase their combat strength by a very small amount.

Therefore, it is necessary to choose unconventional weapons, for example...

Fang Rui's gaze fell on a certain spot on the shelf, where weapons were displayed—all the result of his and Hephaestus's joint efforts, all revolutionary weapons...

However, there is a problem: without sufficient practice, it is difficult to master those weapons.

However, it's not a big problem. Adventurers are all tough and resilient, so getting beaten up won't hurt them much.

With that in mind, Fang Rui and Hephaestus left the workshop after a long absence and headed to the Mih Familia's residence, an ordinary apothecary.

At this moment, adventurers were causing trouble outside the apothecary. The lower-level adventurers left the area one after another, and the third-level adventurers had no intention of participating in the fight and simply went to another apothecary.

More advanced adventurers don't care about such trivial matters, and troublemakers don't dare to stop them.

Since it's serious business, and Orario hasn't been peaceful lately, Loki will bring one or two bodyguards with him when he goes out. Anyway, the senior members of the Loki Familia are quite free these days.

Going shopping with Loki isn't out of the question.

Not to mention, two of the people traveling with us this time are deities skilled in forging weapons.

Bert, who was struggling with the issue of weapons, immediately grabbed the spot as a bodyguard.

On the way, he asked the two deities if they had any recommended weapons.

Hephaestus replied that he needed to think about it for a while.

Fang Rui's answer was a deformable cage that could change shape according to your thoughts.

At first, Bert was very satisfied.

But when he asked about the price, Bert's excitement instantly subsided; the price was far too high.

The grumpy guy, who was not happy, saw his ally being bullied and, without hesitation, delivered a flying kick that sent the troublemaker flying and embedded in the wall, impossible to pry off.

Upon seeing this, the onlookers scattered in panic, fearing they would be mistaken for accomplices.

"嘁~"

"So weak and yet you dare to cause trouble!"

Seeing this, Bert curled his lip and went into the pharmacy.

What Bert didn't see was that his actions were witnessed by a certain teenager who had a mistaken understanding of him... believing that he was acting heroically!

"Helping the weak, that's what makes a hero in my eyes!"

Bell's eyes were shining, and he clenched his fists tightly, looking extremely excited.

Although his goal in coming to the labyrinth city of Orario was to find sweet love, the hero who exonerates evil and promotes good is the object of worship for countless teenagers.

With that, Bell rushed into the apothecary, came up to Bert, and stared at him with sparkling eyes.

"What do you want, brat!"

Feeling uncomfortable under that gaze, Bert put on a "fierce" expression.

"Hello!" she greeted respectfully, then asked with great excitement, "May I ask which clan you belong to..."

"Hmm?" Bert raised an eyebrow upon hearing this; something was amiss!

Loki turned around at the sound and looked Bell up and down.

Hephaestus and Fang Rui also looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the white-haired, red-eyed boy.

It's normal for deities to have some special characteristics; they can see a person's unusual traits.

However, the recruitment of new members for a clan is not entirely the responsibility of the gods; the clan itself also takes responsibility for finding qualified new members.

“That’s interesting,” Loki said, rubbing his cheek.

Hephaestus looked away; she found no talent in forging in this man.

As for Fang Rui, he felt that the man looked somewhat familiar.

"It's Loki's Familia~"
