Ota secretly tested Freya. For an adventurer of his level, who could perfectly control every muscle in his body, the so-called inability to lie in front of the gods was simply nonsense.
The final conclusion was that Freya knew nothing about it.
——This made him more loyal to Freya, but he also had some doubts in his heart.
How many disgusting things have the gods done?
And...where are my teammates? Where are my teammates?
If Zeus's followers really tried to remind him of the so-called truth, then there must be a force planning something in secret.
Since the disaster a few years ago, Ota began to abandon his teammates in Freya's family and explore the dungeon alone.
——He suspected that the story of Zeus’s followers attacking the black dragon was fake, mainly because the level 7 of Zeus’ followers sounded a bit scary and they had no power to fight back against the black dragon.
Perhaps they pretended to have failed in their quest to conquer the black dragon, but in fact the elite members of their clan fled to the depths of the dungeon and developed in secret.
Maybe they can even figure out some way to transcend God's grace...
Then he explored the dungeon alone for several years, but never found any other living people in the lower levels.
Chapter 11 Curiosity
In the underground temple.
"This honest man is not so honest!"
Su Qing smiled and shook his head. When Ota just woke up, the changes in his expression were a little complicated. Although Su Qing couldn't guess the specific information based on this little information, it was definitely not as simple as losing power.
Just because they are shocked by the loss of power, their expressions are often surprisingly easy to understand.
Uranus nodded slightly, and then explained: "Ota is the top adventurer. Although he looks honest, he is not as simple as he looks."
"That's right. After all, he is an adventurer who has experienced many wars. If he looks as honest as he does, he won't be able to survive!"
Su Qing nodded in agreement. The greatest law in the world is probably the survival of the fittest.
If in this world, there is a powerful force as strong as that of a god, then it is not surprising what kind of personality is born, because no matter how bad the character of a god is, he will not die.
But life on earth is different. If it can survive, there must be reasons to support its survival.
If you don't know how to be cautious, if you don't know how to make a trade-off, then you won't be able to survive as an adventurer... In the Loki family, the reason for the survival of younger generations like Sword Princess and Thousand Fairies can be said to be that they are protected by their predecessors.
But an independent adventurer like Ota, as well as any other clan leader, must have outstanding qualities, and at the very least, they must possess the most basic qualities of an adventurer.
An adventurer who can survive alone in a dungeon cannot be too naive, unless he has the aura of the protagonist.
Freya standing by had a question mark on her face.
Ota Tactics was silent for a moment. She was indeed a little surprised... But that was her family, right? Why were you talking about it so excitedly?
What's going on with this atmosphere where I'm the only one who's not good enough?
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 pay attention to her, even though they were talking about her clan.
Are you kidding me? Talking to the goddess about the advantages of being a dog licker?
How could there be such a thing in the eyes of a goddess?
Since Ota is one of Freya's followers, Freya could probably see Ota's bravery, but that was all.
A dog can never understand a goddess, just as a goddess can never understand a dog. It's not anything else, it's simply that both parties will not show the side of themselves that they don't want the other to see.
The Ota that Freya understood 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 in this world who are only at the level of a star-blasting god, the unknown is infinite. The power of a star-blasting god plus the long years measured 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 of liking fun is hating boredom.
Most gods like the fun of the unknown, but if they get bored in the process of exploring the unknown, they will choose to give up.
They are all a bunch of naughty kids who have been spoiled by the world and are hundreds of millions of years old.
If ordinary children are too different, they will be beaten when they enter society, but the power and immortality of the gods give them the capital to not fear the beatings.
Children who are hundreds of millions of years old will not grow up and mature, because they can survive without growing up.
The gods proclaimed that they liked children in the underworld, and Freya also declared that she liked children and liked the growth and progress of her clan.
But it is only at the level of "I find it interesting when it is in front of me" rather than "I want to explore all the changes in the child and know every little thing about the child".
Even though Freya could see the color of souls, this crude ability could not serve as a lie detector.
Among the three people present, in this "competition" to understand the members of Freya's family, Goddess Freya herself won the third place.
In the light curtain, Ota seemed to understand the rules of the magic tower quickly. After escaping from the cell where the devil imprisoned him, he continued to explore the magic tower and found various keys that could open the door, as well as a 'shop' that could increase strength by wearing gems, as well as potions that could increase one's own strength and restore status.
However, he also encountered many pitfalls along the way.
If it is a small game like Sandbox or Magic Tower, many people will know how to play it at a glance.
Keys, potions, and levels are all combined together. If the contestant still doesn't realize the strategy, it means that the knowledge reserve is insufficient and he or she cannot survive in the sandbox.
But in this weird world, adventurers know nothing about this little game.
He opened some doors that didn't need to be opened, and fought some monsters that didn't need to be fought - Ota was able to reach the tenth floor probably because of his considerable combat experience.
In video games, the battle between challengers and monsters is turn-based, and the battle performance is that you hit me and I hit you, and the part where attack is greater than defense is damage. Real battles are more complicated.
Relying on his combat experience, at least when facing these weak low-level monsters, Ota finally managed to pass them with difficulty even though he encountered many pitfalls.
However, this is only limited to the early stages, and the difficulty of the magic tower gradually increases.
When Freya transformed into the guiding fairy, it was only after she had sufficient understanding of Ota's strength and the strength level of the magic tower that she judged that Ota's level 7 strength at that time could only conquer about half of the enemy.
The higher you go, the stronger the monsters become. Ota can now defeat monsters without taking any damage by relying on his own attributes, but if he does not accumulate enough advantages at this stage, after reaching the 70th or 80th floor, he will probably be crushed by monsters with the same attributes.
I'm not familiar with the rules of this exploration and have encountered too many pitfalls. Reaching the 20th floor is the limit, right?
Su Qing looked at Ota's performance and made a judgment.
In this mini-game, Su Qing did not activate the death mode. After death, the contestants would be resurrected outside the magic tower and would not be able to enter again until the next day, and would permanently lose their own power.
Correspondingly, after conquering every ten floors, you will have the opportunity to return to the outside of the tower with the power you have gained.
It can be considered a small benefit for people from the other world who don't understand the rules. If Su Qing dared to play this kind of game in the sandbox, he would definitely be fleeced by other communities and go bankrupt.
Knowing Ota's fate, Su Qing retracted his gaze and said to Uranus: "Next, you should know what to do!"
Uranus nodded and said, "The Evasion Heaven has made new research on the grace of God. The means of becoming stronger in the Demon Tower are the results of the Heaven's research."
"At the same time, this is a game that gods can also enter." Su Qing smiled and said, "You gods have almost never become stronger? Let them try... I heard that some martial gods have a stronger understanding of combat than humans."
Even so, Su Qing didn't think that the first person to conquer this game would be a god.
Most of the gods in this world are the most precious of the precious.
He is not a god of precious things, because even if Uranus were here, he probably wouldn'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 consider it." Uranus said.
"The humans in the lower world still trust the gods. If something like this happens, it will only cause panic... and doubts about the remaining gods."
Su Qing said that this is also human nature.
Could it be necessary to explain to all the lives underground that the gods who are now providing them with favors, gently answering their questions, and guiding their lives...will most likely want to destroy the world after they feel bored underground?
Who believes it?
If Uranus took the initiative to take action with the gods willing to stand on his side.
At that time, in the eyes of the creatures underground, was it that Uranus really did it for their own good and killed those gods who had not yet destroyed the underworld, or was it that Uranus was ambitious and just found a random excuse to harm those "reliable" gods?
Su Qing could only say that if humans, elves, dwarves and other races in the world of Dicuo could believe in Uranus, then in the box garden, human history in the Middle Ages should have been completely awakened, rejecting the more beneficial convergence of the core of the box garden to the gods, and would not continue to move forward.
"So." A smile appeared on Su Qing's face: "I can be the villain. I don't like those gods anyway."
"I was the enemy who tried to trap and kill the gods, but the guild defeated me and saved the world."
"Uranus, you said at the God's Assembly that the Demon Tower was created by the gods in heaven... You were deceived by your fellow gods."
Su Qing continued, "I'll throw the blame on Loki for deceiving you."
A few more wrinkles appeared on Uranus's old face. Freya couldn't help but smile slightly. Would that little girl Loki also have to take the blame one day?
"Can I ask the reason?" Uranus had no intention of refusing.
Su Qing waved her hand: "It's troublesome to explain, so don't ask."
For example, there is a Loki in the small garden, as well as gods and Uranus. Su Qing still needs to explain to the gods who he plans to bring to the small garden to work, but he will forget about it to outsiders.
If you get hit hard and feel that you are just an unconscious clone or projection, it would be a bit troublesome to think about the nature of the world.
As for Loki...
Su Qing thought, with the number of gods on earth now, Uranus intends to put 70% of the gods on the kill list... Does that count as Ragnarok?
The group of Norse gods in the box garden are still there, and Loki is still alive. Even if the Loki from the wrong world comes to the box garden, it is impossible for him to snatch the share of merit from the three-digit Loki.
But in the future, that may not be the case.
The Nordic gods are still there, and Ragnarok has not yet arrived in the box garden.
If in this world, something similar to 'Ragnarok' happened, and it was accomplished by Loki of this world.
When Ragnarok really arrives in the box garden... the one who can conclude that part of the story is most likely not the Loki in the box garden, but the Loki who has already completed 'Ragnarok' in this world.
Su Qing could get almost no share of the merits that had already been divided by pulling the gods of the same name from the other world, but Ragnarok had not yet occurred, and the sovereignty had not even been born and was not in the hands of Loki in the box garden.
By then, in the eyes of the box garden, both of them are Loki. One has experience in completing Ragnarok, and the other is doing it for the first time. It is of course more cost-effective to give the merits and the newly born "Norse Ragnarok Sovereignty" to the veteran.
Or, if Su Qing becomes a three-digit god and the Norse gods stand against him, and the Norse worldview is damaged, or if the Norse gods decline for other reasons - Loki in the world of Dicuo will soon be able to become a three-digit god with the help of the Norse "Ragnarok".
It sounds a bit far-fetched, but it does not require Su Qing to pay anything. He only needs to let Loki of this world have a name in the plan of killing the god.
