People are in Hakoba, the final trial at the beginning

But after several years, the strength has not improved.

Ota has no way to verify whether the grace of God really helps human beings grow. Perhaps without the grace of God, he can become stronger by exercising himself.

But what he knows is that the grace of God is absolutely effective in restraining the growth of human beings.

As long as Shangshen does not renew his achievements, no matter how difficult and desperate the person has crossed and how hard the training has been, there will be no slight increase in strength, speed and physical strength.

But it is only the death of the growth lock. As the adventurer ages, the grace of God cannot lock the decline of the adventurer's physical strength.

The grace of God is this kind of thing, and it can be proved that most of the gods are this kind of thing.

It can barely be said that the gods are beneficial to people, and you can justify when you ask, 'No one begged you to join the family', 'You want to engrave God's favor'.

But the malice of the gods is absolutely full.

But without gods, humans would have been wiped out by monsters long ago.

Humans have no position to rebel against the gods, or even to complain about the gods. As long as the gods provide help to humans, they will be kind to humans.

The gods are qualified to choose the way to help human beings. If they help more, they help, and if they help less, they still help. That is the freedom of the gods.

That's why Ota fell in love with Freya. While hating most of the gods pretending to love humans, at least as Freya's family, he can feel that love is real.

No matter how disgusting the gods are, human beings can only survive by relying on the gods.

As Freya's family, he met a "real" god like Freya again, so he had no reason not to offer his loyalty to Freya.

But now...

Being defeated can only show that he is weak, and his power has been completely taken away?

A thought came to his mind.

Probably, most first-class adventurers will have similar questions, right?

...Does my own strength come from my own training, or is it bestowed by the gods?

The gods said over and over again that the grace of the gods only leads to the possibility of human beings, and every bit of exercise of the adventurer turns into experience to help the adventurer grow.

Horta had been willing to believe that.

but……

In essence, is the exercise of human beings the nourishment for growth, or is the exercise of human beings perceived by the gods, who endowed humans with strength and disguised it as human exercise?

First of all, the lower realm of the gods is for the unknown fun, and theoretically it should have never interfered with the growth of human beings.

But there is only one problem that cannot be explained——

Upgrade, Albert.

He exhausted all his strength and defeated the enemy. The enemy was seriously injured and escaped with difficulty.

Killed the enemy with all his might.

The difference between these two possibilities may be only the point of the final blow. The various games and mental states of the parties in the battle may be exactly the same. Even in the battle to defeat the opponent, the parties may be more attentive and selfless.

——But defeating an enemy who is only slightly stronger than oneself cannot be regarded as a great achievement for advancement.

Killing enemies who are only a little stronger than yourself is enough for advancement.

This is definitely not "the human being's training triggers the possibility of the human being". There is not much difference in the growth of the person involved between defeating the opponent and killing the opponent.

It's more like 'some kind of subjective factor' that I prefer to see rivers of blood rather than a battle where the two never live to the death.

In the past, Ota tried to convince himself that this may not be a problem with the gods.

——There are other suspects, dungeons.

Perhaps the factors involved in lv promotion are more complicated. Perhaps it is the agreement between the gods and the dungeon, which leads to the fact that the grace of the gods can only be unfolded in this way. Only by depriving the life of the monsters in the dungeon can the road to promotion be opened.

But this guess was rejected by him a few years ago.

The reason is simple.

——His promotion to lv7 was not a monster in the dungeon, but an adventurer of the Zeus family.

The fight between adventurers and monsters can only be accomplished with death as the ending, and the dungeon can be blamed for such a forced fight.

The fight between adventurers and adventurers can only be accomplished with death as the ending. If the dungeon is to blame, the dungeon is too innocent.

…Ota suspected for a while that the lv7 of the Zeus Familia fought him one-on-one, and finally died in his hands. It was not to let him be promoted to lv7, but to tell him that adventurers also need to take the opponent's life , to complete the upgrade.

In the battle between adventurers and adventurers, who is satisfied with the battle and decides that this battle that ends in death is qualified as a great achievement for the winner to upgrade?

Are there other options besides gods?

Ota secretly tested Freya. For an adventurer of his level, who can perfectly control every muscle in his body, the so-called inability to lie in front of gods is simply nonsense.

In the end, it was concluded that Freya knew nothing about it.

——This made him more loyal to Freya, but also secretly suspicious.

How many disgusting deeds did the gods do.

And... Where are my teammates? Where are my teammates?

If the Zeus family had really deliberately reminded him of the so-called truth, there should be a secret force planning something.

After the disaster a few years ago, Orta began to abandon his teammates of Freya's family and explore the dungeon alone.

——He suspected that the Zeus family's crusade against the black dragon was fake, mainly because what the Zeus family's lv7 said was a bit scary, and they had no power to fight back against the black dragon.

Perhaps it was pretending that the crusade against the black dragon failed, but in fact the elite of the family fled to the deep layers of the dungeon and developed secretly.

Maybe they have also researched some methods to surpass God's grace...

Then he explored the dungeon alone for several years, but he didn't find any other living people in the lower level.

Chapter 11 curious

In the underground temple.

"This honest man is not so honest!"

Su Qing shook her head with a smile. When Ota just woke up, the change in his face was a bit complicated. Of course, Su Qing couldn't deduce the specific information based on this news, but it was definitely not because of the loss of power.

Just because of the shock of losing power, the expression is often surprisingly easy to understand.

Uranus nodded slightly, and then explained: "Ota is the top adventurer. Although he looks simple and honest on the outside, his heart is not as simple as his appearance."

"That's right. After all, he is an adventurer who has been through battles for a long time. If he is really as honest as he looks, it is impossible for him to survive!"

Su Qing nodded to express her approval. The greatest law in all the world is probably the survival of the fittest.

If it is in this world, with the power of a god, it is not surprising to have any kind of character, because no matter how bad the character of a god is, it will never die.

But life on earth is different. Those that can survive must have sufficient reasons to support their survival.

If you don't know how to be cautious, if you don't know how to balance, then you won't be able to survive as an adventurer... In the Loki family, the younger generation like the sword girl and the thousand fairies, the reason for survival can be to be protected by the seniors.

But a unique adventurer like Ota, as well as any other family leader, must have some advantages, at least they will not lack the most basic qualities of an adventurer.

An adventurer who can survive alone in the dungeon must never be too naive, except for the aura of the protagonist.

Freya on the side had a question mark on her face.

Ota Tactical was silent for a moment, she was indeed a little surprised...but it was her family, right?Why are you talking so excitedly?

What's the matter with this atmosphere where only I can't do it?

Freya was a little confused, she suddenly realized that she didn't even understand her own family.

Su Qing and Uranus didn't bother to talk to her, even though they were talking about her family.

Just kidding, talking to the goddess about the virtues of licking dogs?

That thing in the eyes of the goddess?

Because Ota is Freya's family, Freya can probably see Ota's bravery, right?But that's all.

Dog licking can never understand the goddess, just like the goddess can never understand dog licking, nothing else, it is simply that the two parties will not show the side of themselves that they do not want to be seen by the other party in front of the other party.

What Freya learned about Horta was not false, but it was always one-sided.

This is also the limit of most gods - they like the unknown, rather than discovering the unknown.

The unknown is infinite, at least for the gods of this world's mere starburst level, the unknown is infinite. The starburst strength plus the long years counted in billions of years can never reach the level of even false omniscience.

It's just that those fun gods don't want to explore the unknown. The synonym for fun is to hate boredom.

Most gods like the fun of the unknown, but they will choose to give up when they are bored in the process of exploring the unknown.

They are all a group of brats who have been spoiled by the world and are hundreds of millions of years old.

Ordinary children would be beaten severely if they entered society if they were too different, but the power and immortality of the gods gave them the capital to be beaten without fear.

Children who are hundreds of millions of years old will not grow up to maturity, because they can live without growing up.

The gods declared that they like the children of the lower realm, and Freya also declared that she likes the children and the growth and progress of the family.

But it's just an ordinary level of 'I find it interesting in front of me', not the level of 'I want to explore all the changes in the child and know every bit of the child'.

Even if Freya can see the color of the soul, this rough ability cannot be used as a lie detector.

Among the three people present, in this 'competition' to get to know the members of Freya's family, the goddess Freya herself won the third place.

In the light curtain, Ota seems to have quickly understood the rules of the Demon Tower. After escaping from the cell where the Demon King imprisoned him, on the way to continue exploring the Demon Tower, he found various keys that can open the door, and discovered that wearing gems can Boost your strength, as well as 'shops' to boost your own strength and potions to restore your status.

However, along the way, he also stepped on many pitfalls.

If it is in Little Garden, a small game like Magic Tower, many people will know how to play it at a glance.

Keys, potions, checkpoints, all elements are combined, if you still don't realize the strategy method, then the contestant's knowledge reserves are insufficient, and they can't get along in Little Garden.

But in this wrong world, adventurers know nothing about this little game.

He opened some doors that didn’t need to be opened, and he opened some doors that didn’t need to be fought—the tenth floor that Ota was able to reach all the way was probably because of his not weak combat experience.

In video games, the battle between the challenger and the monster is turn-based. The battle performance is that you slash me and I slash you. The part where the attack is greater than the defense is the damage. The real battle is more complicated.

With combat experience, at least for these weak low-level monsters, even though Ota stepped on a lot of pitfalls, it was still difficult to pass the level after all.

However, it is limited to the early stage, and the difficulty of the magic tower is gradually increasing.

When Freya was incarnated as the guide fairy, she had a good understanding of Ota's strength and the strength level of the magic tower, and then judged that Ota's lv7 strength was only about half of it.

The higher up the monster is, the stronger it is. Ota can now defeat monsters without injury by virtue of his own attributes, but if he does not accumulate enough advantages at this stage, after reaching the seventy or eighty floors, with the same attributes, he may be crushed by monsters instead pressure.

I am not familiar with the rules of this exploration, stepped on too many pits, is it the limit to reach the [-]th floor?

Su Qing looked at Ota's performance and made a judgment.

In this small game, Su Qing did not activate the death mode. After the contestants die, they will return to the outside of the magic tower to be resurrected. They will not be able to enter again after the opening tomorrow, and will permanently lose their own power.

Correspondingly, after every tenth floor is cleared, you can get the opportunity to return to the outside of the tower with the acquired power.

It can be regarded as a small benefit for people from other worlds who don't understand the rules. If Su Qing dared to play this kind of game in Little Garden, she would definitely be bankrupted by other communities.

Having confirmed Ota's ending in her heart, Su Qing withdrew her gaze and said to Uranus: "Next, you should know what to do!"

Uranus nodded and said: "There is a new research on God's grace to shirk the heaven, and the method of strengthening in the magic tower is the research result of the heaven."

"At the same time, this is a game that gods can also enter." Su Qing said with a smile: "Your gods should have hardly become stronger? Let them try... I heard that some warriors have a better understanding of battle than humans powerful."

Even so, Su Qing didn't think that the gods would be the first to conquer this little game.

Most of the gods in this world are the precious things among the precious things.

The gods who are not valuables, because Uranus is here, probably don't have the experience to participate in this game.

Su Qing said: "If you insist on killing most of the gods... I have a suggestion."

"Please tell me, I will try my best to think about it," Uranus said.

"Humans in the lower world still trust the gods. If the gods are entrapped, it will only cause panic... and doubts about the remaining gods."

Su Qing said, this is also human nature.

Is it possible to explain to all the lives in the underground, those gods who are now providing them with favors, gently answering questions for them, guiding their lives, and worthy of respect... After feeling bored underground, there is a high probability that they will want to destroy the world?

Who believes it?

If Uranus took the initiative with a god who was willing to stand by his side.
