Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Before Bert could answer, Loki spoke first.

She moved to the boy's left, gently patted his shoulder, and asked with a smile, "So? Want to join the Loki Familia?"

"By the way, the Loki Familia is one of the strongest Familias in Orario."

"By the way, I am Loki."

Upon hearing this, Bell was taken aback, then turned around, took a step back, and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle: "Please allow me to join the Loki Familia!"

“Okay!” Loki agreed immediately; she was quite interested in this kid.

Since it was Loki's decision, Bert did not object.

Fang Rui revealed a subtle expression. The boy who should have joined the Hestia Familia had now joined the Loki Familia...

'emmm……'

'The speed at which you become stronger should be even faster! But the special weapons are probably gone~'

Thinking this, Fang Rui turned to look at the counter, where Hestia looked on with envy.

'The only loser is Hestia. Without Bell joining the Familia, it's unknown when the Hestia Familia would have been established...'

"Thank you!" An excited Bell bowed again.

"Bert, you explain the rules and regulations for the clan to him first. I have other things to take care of."

With that, Loki, Fang Rui, and Hephaestus went to the back of the shop to talk to Mih.

“Come here…” Bert leaned against the wall and beckoned to Bell.

While Bert was explaining the rules of the Loki Familia to Bell and instilling his personal admonitions, Fang Rui and the others were also discussing the War Game.

"no!"

Mich resolutely rejected Loki's suggestion: "I can't let them take the risk; war games are too dangerous!"

"But the situation has now reached a point where you have no choice but to fight back!"

Upon hearing this, Mich's expression darkened. Loki was right; the Mich Familia was already quite weak, and now, squeezed out of the way, if they didn't fight back, it would be too late.

After all, the clan needs to pay taxes to the Adventurers' Guild every month, and daily expenses are also a problem...

Seeing Mih's expression, Loki seized the opportunity to reassure him, "Don't worry! The weapons provided by Fang Rui and Hephaestus are top-notch and powerful, guaranteeing that you can easily defeat the enemy, and your clan members will not suffer any losses."

"No, I know that Hephaestus's weapons are very powerful, but what you're saying is a bit of an exaggeration! Although I'm relatively poor, I've seen the world."

Mich didn't believe Loki's words at all.

Even the most powerful artifacts are useless if the user doesn't use them effectively. If someone is stupid, even the most powerful artifact will be useless.

But now you're telling me I can win so easily?

Are you trying to fool idiots?!

"I'm not joking. Once you see what the 'weapon' is, you'll understand why I'm so confident!"

Loki stood tall and proud, radiating confidence.

"Really?" Mihe looked doubtful.

Loki's godhood is that of a god of trickery and lies; her words always make people subconsciously suspicious.

"Of course it's true. If you see the 'weapons' and think you can't win, you don't have to declare war!"

Loki explained helplessly, "Why are you dragging your feet on something that's so easy to understand?"

“…Okay!” Mihe pondered for a moment, then clenched his fist. “Let’s give it a try!”

Then Loki showed the "figure" Fang Rui had made to Mih and explained in detail how amazing it was.

"Amazing! Weapons can actually be forged like this!"

"As expected of Hephaestus! As expected of Fang Rui!"

"With such a powerful weapon, it seems that I am destined to be the victor."

Mich exclaimed in surprise, quickly shifting from hesitation to full confidence.

"The secret weapon must be hidden well and not let other clans know about it, otherwise they will not agree to the war game."

"As for the stakes in the game, you can discuss that yourselves."

After saying this, Loki left the "weapon" and the instruction manual behind and turned to leave. Fang Rui and Hephaestus did not linger there.

After the group left, Mih gathered a few reliable members of the familia, showed them the "figures" and instructions, and asked them which game mode to choose and which familia to declare war on...

Naza said, "If you have an advantage in combat power, you should make the most of it. I think Fang Rui is better at physical combat."

“But…none of us are good at fighting,” another member of the clan said.

“It’s okay, it’s okay if you can’t fight!” Naza said, holding up the instruction manual and showing a page to everyone.

After carefully reading the document, everyone's faces lit up with joy, and their worries vanished. They then began to select their targets...

The following day, the Mih clan declared war on another clan.

After discussions between the two families, an application was submitted to the Adventurers' Guild to begin the war game...

The rules of the game are purely physical confrontation.

Within just a few days, news of several war games being launched has emerged, causing increasing chaos in the city and raising concerns among many citizens.

But the gods didn't come out to explain anything; it was just a war game between a few small clans, nothing serious.

The gods seemed to be celebrating, preparing for the upcoming war game...

"They've made their move so quickly? Mih is really in a hurry!"

Loki remarked with great interest.

Chapter 363 Game Over

Rumors of several clans holding a "war game" spread throughout the labyrinth city of Orario within a single day.

Upon hearing this, the residents of Orario showed no concern. It had become a long-standing habit for the citizens to treat "war games" as a form of entertainment. Although members of the clan would suffer each time, it rarely affected ordinary people.

However, before the "War Game" began, the conflicts between clans often caused trouble for ordinary residents.

The gods had never encountered a situation where several "war games" were held together, so they convened a council of gods to discuss the matter. Ultimately, Loki made a suggestion...

"Why not hold them all together and decide the winner through a 'major free-for-all'!"

Although it's clear that Loki said this purely out of amusement, to be honest, the other gods were intrigued by Loki's suggestion and were somewhat looking forward to a "chaotic battle," which sounded quite interesting.

With several deities involved having objections, and the number of participants increasing, problems from all sides will increase, making it more difficult to win.

Especially the few gods who initially had the upper hand and were confident of victory, were no longer so sure of winning in this chaotic game format.

Therefore, they wanted to refuse.

However, the weaker faction also understands this principle. By shifting from one-on-one to many-on-many, the probability of winning in the chaos is actually greater.

Therefore, they are in favor.

He especially supported the Mih clan.

With the support of "equipment", the Mih Familia has the advantage in both one-on-one games and free-for-all games. The reason for choosing free-for-all games is simply to return the favor.

Since Fang Rui and the others came to help him, he naturally had to give back by using the "War Game" to promote the new weapon to Hephaestus and Fang Rui.

Since the number of people opposing and supporting the game was the same, Loki proposed using an external vote to decide the game's format, and the result was self-evident...

A bunch of fun-loving people, naturally they'll do whatever's interesting.

The "melee" game format was approved almost unanimously, and the game format was decided...

The families who participated in the war returned to their base to prepare for the upcoming "war game".

Even the gods who weren't participating in the battle were making preparations, including the live broadcast arrangements and the betting stakes...

Since none of the participating clans requested an extension, the war game was held half a day later...

The event takes place in the ruins of Orario. Each player selects a ruin as their base. The rule is to destroy the crystal guarded by their Familia. If the crystal breaks, that Familia is eliminated.

This game format was suggested by Fang Rui.

………………

Two o'clock in the afternoon, in the ruins area.

The participating clans entered the arena one after another and began selecting their clan bases. The selections of each clan were broadcast live to the audience...

Sitting in the audience, Fang Rui, Hephaestus, and Loki watched the live broadcast, with a nervous Mih beside them.

The members of the Mih clan chose a base location on the far left of the ruins, very close to the normal residential area, only about ten meters away.

Naza looked at the members of the Familia and said, "I will lead half of the forces to attack the other Familia, prioritizing the elimination of the enemy Familia before dealing with the others."

"The rest of you are responsible for guarding the crystal. Once the game starts, don't stay in one place; keep moving..."

In response, some objected, saying, "But if we keep moving, we're likely to run into other clans!"

After all, that's how the game works; sending people out to search for crystals from other clans is a perfectly normal operation.

"Staying in place also carries the risk of being discovered, so there's no difference between the two. Moving around can also help you become familiar with how to operate the new equipment."

Upon hearing Nazha's explanation, the others said nothing more and nodded in agreement with their leader's order.

Seeing this, Nazha said nothing more, took out a glass jar, inside which was a robot-shaped figurine.

As she removed the stopper from the glass bottle, the "figure" inside flew out, rapidly enlarging before landing amidst the ruins...

boom----

A gigantic robot, about twelve meters tall, fell from the sky, shattering several surrounding buildings and sending broken bricks and rubble flying into the air...

Naza leaped up and ran along the robot's metal body, reaching its chest. Holding the "key," she opened the hatch and entered the cockpit.

hum-

The robot's eyes lit up, its limbs trembled, and then it slowly began to move, accompanied by the sounds of metal clashing and steam billowing.

"oh--!!!"

Upon seeing the enormous robot, both gods and humans exclaimed in amazement.
