He just mentioned Hestia and Artemis casually, and Uranus' real test was Astraea.
Who can accept the goddess of justice?
Or someone who is equally just.
Or, be willing to walk with justice.
Uranus had a vague guess in his mind.
Su Qing's logical ability is not weak. I'm afraid the world he lives in is far less comfortable than the gods in this world. He needs to use his brain to solve or avoid danger.
You know, justice is often the antonym of interest.
I heard that he recommended the goddess of justice without hesitation, probably because... he can create benefits.
If you can only gain benefits through petty intrigues, you need companions who are smart enough and have no bottom line. At that time, morality will become a burden on development, and the smarter the companions are, the better.
Even if your companions will stab you in the back for personal gain, at least you will have gained the personal gain.
But if one can create a lot of profits and make a fortune easily, then it is natural to cooperate with relatively honest people to avoid the risk of being betrayed and the consideration of self-defense.
Is it because of this special ability to cross the world?
The gods also tried to explore the starry sky, but the answer they got was nothing.
For the gods, the only places where life exists are the heaven where the gods live and the underworld where other lives live. Uranus knows nothing about the so-called other world.
But what he knew was that this was the first time in hundreds of millions of years that the gods had learned about another world.
Uranus's original idea was that this should be an extremely valuable ability.
It is possible that in the different world where Su Qing is, the ability to travel through worlds is not precious, but the number of worlds is as countless as the grains of sand in the Ganges, so that no one has come to this world for hundreds of millions of years.
——But Uranus felt that in Su Qing’s world, traveling through worlds was also an extremely precious ability.
Combined with Su Qing's words of 'lack of manpower' and the fact that the goddess of justice accepted his recommendation without hesitation, Uranus reluctantly confirmed his conclusion.
The old god breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way he could avoid cooperating with Su Qing. Those Fun Gods were truly a cancer. Even if it meant taking certain risks, he would never give up on finding a way to deal with those Fun Gods.
But Su Qing's stance is towards order and justice, which is undoubtedly good news for Orario. Even if Su Qing arrives in Orario again in the future, the possibility of bringing disaster to Orario is not high.
Uranus smiled and said, "The three goddesses mentioned above have completely unsightly followers. In Orario, Loki's followers are as famous as Freya's followers."
"If you want to recruit..."
Freya straightened her posture.
There was no doubt about it. It was her.
Compared to Loki, the flat tomboy, she really wins by a lot——
"It is undoubtedly Loki's family."
"I recommend Loki's Familia."
Freya: “…”
Chapter 9 Reset
In the underground temple.
After simply deciding on the mode of cooperation, Uranus and Su Qing looked at the light screen.
Relying on the light screen projected in the sky by magic, Uranus watched Ota easily kill his way to the third floor. He couldn't help but say: "Although the challenger is strong enough... it's not good to be too easy. The gods will lose interest quickly."
"Strength is not useless, but it's not as useful as you think."
Su Qing said, "It's coming soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, in the broadcast footage, Ota walked into a room.
……
With rich experience as an adventurer, Ota gradually summed up some rules.
Compared to the dungeon, the area of each floor of this magic tower is relatively small, and there are no strange detours or forks in the road.
The restrictions on monsters are much greater. Monsters in the underground layer only move around in specific floors, but monsters in the magic tower linger in fixed areas.
Ota has tried to study the monster's movement patterns, but even if he shows strength far beyond that of the monster and does not take the monster's life, the monster will not run away, but will attack him again and again.
Every monster will drop gold coins after its death...but Ota still doesn't understand what these gold coins are used for.
Just gold coins?
He might think so if the coins were all the same, or if the coins were completely different.
But the gold coins dropped by each monster are the same in style, just in different quantities.
Also, the palm-sized fairy he killed at the beginning, the only thing she dropped had a different pattern on the gold coin.
Ota speculated that these gold coins were not simply exchanged for money, but might have some unique function in the tower.
In addition, there is only one staircase leading upwards on each floor, which is different from a dungeon, where there are usually several passages on each floor.
Ota couldn't determine the purpose of the yellow door in the tower, but he tried his best but couldn't leave even the slightest mark on the door or the wall.
As long as the wall completely blocked his way, he couldn't think of any way to move forward - but because of this, there must be no dead end ahead, right?
It would be easy to stop him from challenging forward by blocking the way with a wall or a door, but he chose not to do so. I guess this is part of the trial.
As long as he can defeat the monsters along the way, there will surely be a way for him to reach the top of the tower.
As Ota was thinking this, he couldn't help but his expression changed slightly.
Alan stood behind him, and the two adventurers stood back to back. At some point, several pitch-black monsters appeared around them.
"...This feeling is completely different from those slimes before."
Alan gritted his teeth and felt a chill on his back.
The attribute values of every monster around him are probably higher than his.
"I knew that the fairy was a liar. She even said that we could reach the 50th floor."
Alan couldn't help but feel somewhat relieved. Fortunately, he acted decisively, otherwise he would have been led into the trap by the elf on the first floor.
"Ota, I'll create a gap, and you'll take the opportunity to escape—"
The moment he said this, he felt his body sink.
A huge pressure was pressing down on him, making him unable to move.
At the same time, a slightly gloomy voice sounded.
"I am the Demon King Zeno, welcome to my magic tower, challenger."
"I'm giving you a chance to challenge me."
As he spoke, a humanoid creature covered in a pitch-black cloak appeared in front of the two adventurers.
Ota who is unable to move/Alan who is unable to move: "..."
At this moment, if they could speak, they would probably curse out loud.
Give Nima a chance?
If you don't want people to play, just say so.
Ota is not so arrogant as to think that he is invincible, but he has also seen strong people.
Even though the lv9 of the Hera family is strong, it has a limit after all.
Even the Black Dragon, in the battle when he was promoted to level 7 thousands of years ago, he heard from his opponent at that time that their Zeus clan had no ability to fight back against the Black Dragon and were almost wiped out instantly.
——But even so, being killed due to inferior skills and being unable to even move a finger in front of an opponent are two completely different things.
Stronger than the Black Dragon...
This so-called demon king in front of me, isn’t he a god?
The gods themselves have taken action, and the adventurers are still playing around.
……
Ota was speechless, but the Orarians who were watching the live broadcast on the light screen didn't care.
The law does not hold everyone responsible...Besides, humans respect gods, but they don’t respect them too much.
When Hestia first came to the mortal world and lived on the streets, she could only work obediently, but no one supported her or provided her with three free meals a day.
As for gods, we have seen a lot of them in Orario, and we only give them symbolic respect. If we really want to show complete respect, then they are certain clans and their gods.
In the blink of an eye, Orario started cursing.
"How despicable! Sending fairies to mislead people failed, and the gods showed up in person."
"If you can't afford it, don't play."
"I knew the gods were not good people. They came to the mortal world for fun before, and now they are targeting adventurers for fun. Maybe tomorrow they will grant monsters a favor and let them capture humans just for fun."
"Shut up, how dare you say that? You're crazy."
"What am I afraid of? The worst that can happen is death."
"The soul will be sent to heaven for reincarnation."
"The reincarnated soul has nothing to do with me. The consciousness is not me anymore. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Today, even if I starve to death, die outside, or die in the dungeon, I will use my rotten vocal cords to shout out that the gods are all hypocrites!"
"Only adventurers can enter the dungeon. To become an adventurer you need the grace of God. They have monopolized the magic stone resources of the continent. They say adventurers protect humans, but they haven't been able to kill a black dragon in a thousand years. Ugh!"
Bang!
One of them retracted his knife.
"...Ahem, my friend has a delusion of being destroyed. Excuse me, I will take him away now and won't bother you anymore."
In the tavern, many people looked at each other, and after a brief silence, they started cursing at the same time.
