You have to know that this is roughly the background of medieval Europe, or even worse. Outside of Orario, there are various kingdoms and empires, and what comes with the war is extremely prosperous slavery.
When many people meet nobles, they can't wait to kneel down and kiss their shoes. It is the honor of a lifetime to have the right to meet the king.
Orario cannot be compared with the county towns of some of the top countries in the 21st century, but compared with places other than Orario, its strength is definitely not only the military force of the adventurers and the economy brought by magic stones.
Orario's equality and human rights are already a model for the world.
Adventurers living in Orario may not realize what is good about Orario.
For example, Livilia is a royal family of the elves, Bert is the son of the chief of the orc tribe, and Finn is the son of the chief of the orc tribe. None of them came to Orario because they were worried about the future of the dwarfs, not because of their status in the dwarf tribe.
There are few powerful adventurers with simple identities.
Even if we don't count the gods, the world of Dicuo is also an extraordinary world. Things like bloodline are not invisible and intangible, but real and represent potential.
The parents are very strong, but the descendants are useless and have not inherited their parents' talents; there are also cases where the parents and ancestors are very average, but the descendants are for some reason extremely talented - these all exist, but they are exceptions.
In Orario, lv2 and lv3 may not seem conspicuous, but in the outside world, let alone lv2, even lv1 adventurers will be worshipped as messengers of God in uncivilized villages.
Although in a sense, as long as God's grace is engraved on the back, it is indeed God's messenger.
Even though the gods have been in the mortal world for a thousand years, they are still just rumors in most parts of the world. In Orario, gods are everywhere, but in the outside world, one has to be a noble of a national level to have multiple conversations with gods in their lifetime.
For people living in towns or villages, they may never see a god in their entire life.
Happiness is often achieved through comparison. Many people don’t live very well in Orario, but when they compare themselves with places outside of Orario, they will feel that they are very happy.
But again, happiness is compared.
The changes that took place in the Tower of Babel can make people become stronger extremely safely and conveniently. Although non-adventurers in Orario do not know the inside story, they will guess that it was the work of gods.
Even though many gods were trapped in the magic tower.
It’s not a god, and there’s no other suspect!
Only adventurers can enter the magic tower to fight monsters and level up. The gods have divided the entry quota. Many non-adventurers think, "I can do it, too." They feel it's a pity in their hearts, but it's not that hard to accept.
But two non-adventurers sneaked in by chance. Although they died after exploring a few floors in the magic tower, they were resurrected at the entrance... After testing, their physical fitness was comparable to that of level 2 adventurers.
Now he has been recruited by some third-rate clans.
Many non-adventurers suddenly felt unbalanced.
If it had been me who went in at that time and killed a few slimes and bats, wouldn’t I be the one rising now?
No, if it was me who entered the magic tower at that time, I would definitely be stronger than those two lucky guys - many people think so.
The non-adventurers in Orario do not resent adventurers and gods, because they are somewhat far away from them. Although they live in the same city, they are not from the same world at all.
But after seeing other non-adventurers taking advantage, many people feel worse than if they had suffered losses.
On the second day after the Magic Tower came out, many people were furious when they saw the two non-adventurers become successful.
At the same time, the attacking team reached the middle level of the magic tower.
But it is visible to the naked eye that the difficulty of the battle has increased a lot.
On the first day, Ota didn't even explore the middle level. That was because he was not familiar with the rules of the magic tower and fell into too many traps along the way.
The pit he stepped into became a lesson for those who came after him. Through the early exploration, those who came after him could accumulate higher attributes and save more recovery items to face the monsters that came later.
But attributes can grow rapidly, but combat experience cannot.
In the early stage of the magic tower, even if the monsters and adventurers have the same basic attributes, they cannot defeat the adventurers. But after reaching the middle level, the situation is reversed.
Even though monsters don't have very high intelligence, the complexity of their moves and the concentration of their power are far beyond the reach of adventurers who have just acquired their attributes.
The adventurers in Orario are only at this level. Loki's family did not take action, and Freya's family attacked two of them first. Although they are still worried about the Lord God, they also plan to make long-term plans later.
The adventurers who enter the tower are generally at level 4-5, which is not even in the six digits in the small garden.
After reaching the middle level of the magic tower, the attributes improved in the tower are stronger than when they were originally adventurers.
The most crucial thing is that the adventurers in the Dicuo world are the type that are not good at controlling strength among the strong people of the same level because of the locking attribute of God's Grace. Adventurers rely on God's Grace to grow, instead of carefully sensing every inch of changes in the body and then finding ways to become stronger.
In the same level, monsters are not as good as humans. After all, monsters have no brains. This is recognized by Orario and even the entire underworld.
But after reaching the middle area of the magic tower, the adventurers were no match for the monsters with the same attributes. Although the monsters lacked intelligence and had a single attack mode, that single attack mode could at least bring out the monsters' power.
Adventurers can't even do that.
Among the ten people this time, there was an adventurer who was originally unable to break the sound barrier with his physical body. He relied on his original fighting method and intended to speed up when facing the enemy, and touched the sound barrier.
These adventurers had no idea about this at all. When faced with the monsters' attacks, they tried to speed up and dodge, but they didn't anticipate the sudden increase in air resistance around them, and were immediately hacked to death by the monsters.
Among the group of adventurers who entered the magic tower, two of them died in the tower inexplicably.
……
Adventurer's Guild.
Uranus's face was no longer as calm as before. He had been in the mortal world for a thousand years, and he and his fellow gods had started their plan long before he went down to the mortal world.
Of course, most of his plan at the time was about how to target the gods and build a cage in the underworld to completely seal the gods, but there were also some aspects related to the people in the underworld.
It can even be said that many of his plans concern people from the underworld.
According to his and his fellow gods' plan, the focus is on the gods, but the gods come to the mortal world to experience human life, so his plan naturally cannot be unrelated to the people in the mortal world.
At critical moments, by guiding the thoughts of people in the lower world, one can indirectly guide the thoughts of the gods.
After more than a thousand years of accumulation, Uranus has gained a lot of experience in guiding ordinary people in the lower world and has made many plans in advance.
Now he took out a part of the plan, but compressing it into just seven days was indeed somewhat difficult. He had to make the next move as soon as the previous move had not even had time to ferment.
It is impossible to make the people of the lower world dissatisfied with the gods of Orario and break the phenomenon of the gods being over-deified in a short period of time. Even arousing the anger of non-adventurers in Orario towards the gods cannot be done in a short period of time.
But he had to do it anyway.
Uranus shook his head. His workload increased a lot in a short period of time, but he was very pleased. At least victory was on his side. His current job was at best to make up for the hidden dangers after the victory.
Uranus looked up at the tower in the distance.
On the first day, Ota, the strongest adventurer, was defeated in the Magic Tower.
The next day, some high-level adventurers learned from their previous failures and were unable to continue exploring after reaching the middle level of the magic tower.
Next…
Ouranos took a deep breath.
The third day is the last chance for adventurers.
Not only adventurers can explore the magic tower, but gods can too. Although adventurers find it difficult to control the sudden surge of power, the gods can control it.
Even for a novice god, after hundreds of millions of years, even if the degree of control over power is still average, he can reach the passing line by instinct alone.
What's more, in these hundreds of millions of years, who hasn't chosen to train themselves when their middle school mentality exploded?
Until now, no gods have entered the scene, so I entered the magic tower to explore by myself. The reason is very simple.
The protagonist will appear last - Uranus secretly found a few friends, secretly spread this news, and guided it to become a consensus among the gods.
The gods have a high status in the underworld and are universally loved, but universal does not represent all.
There are so many people in the underworld, and there will always be people who don’t take gods seriously. Even over the past thousands of years, some people have believed that gods are a scam.
These people think that there are no gods or divine powers at all, and that the so-called Orario and the so-called game of gods are nothing but a scam they have carefully prepared.
These so-called "gods" are just useless people who have the ability to grant humans the grace of becoming stronger. They lie that they have omnipotent divine power and that after human death, their souls will return to heaven.
They weave such lies only to maintain their rule over the underworld. The so-called gods of Orario are nothing more than those who have more advanced technology than today's humans, and who grant humans power and abilities, as well as a lifespan of more than a thousand years.
Maybe thousands of years ago, there existed a more advanced human civilization, which became extinct after encountering an accident, leaving only a group of artificial life forms that assisted human growth... What if these artificial life forms discovered that their past history had been buried, so they changed their appearance and called themselves gods?
The world is so big, there must be all kinds of people.
When it is generally recognized that the earth is square, there are still people who insist that the earth is round despite the risk of persecution. When it is generally recognized that the earth is round, there are still people who ignore the facts and various evidences and firmly believe that the earth under their feet is square.
Even the gods can do nothing against such people.
There aren't many humans who question the gods, but over the millennia there have been quite a few, and many gods have encountered several of them.
Even though many people do not doubt the authenticity of the gods, there are still people who doubt their power.
Maybe gods are just stronger adventurers, and adventurers will become immortal after they grow to level 10 or 100?
Maybe the gods are only good at talking but can't do anything with actual actions?
In the underworld, gods can act as they please, but most of the time, the only people they can act as they please are their own followers.
It's impossible for a god to commit suicide by slitting his own throat just because of doubts from some people in the lower world, right?
He committed suicide by slitting his throat, his divine power was awakened, and he was sent back to heaven. The divine power that burst out in an instant would make the humans on the surface realize that what their gods said was not exaggerated.
They may not be omnipotent, but it is true that divine power is omnipotent within a certain range. At least gods have the power to destroy the underworld.
In the past, no matter how powerful the gods boasted, all the disasters in the dungeon were solved by adventurers.
Some people are born to question authority. They will keep silent when faced with real achievements, but they will question things that seem to have a lot of evidence but are actually unprovable.
The power of the gods cannot be proven, and we cannot kill a god to prove it.
Now is the chance for the gods to prove themselves.
In the past, the gods had no chance to take action, and the dungeon did not allow gods to enter, but now the magic tower can!
On the first day, the adventurers were defeated in the magic tower because they did not understand the rules clearly.
On the second day, the adventurers figured out some of the rules but were still in the exploration stage.
Then the third day...is this the true level of the adventurer?
The gods do not care how much power they can gain after passing the magic tower, but some gods do care about proving themselves, and showing off their power in front of humans is a universal desire of almost all living things.
The gods thousands of years ago might not care. In the eyes of many gods thousands of years ago, people in the lower world were just ants. Who would show their holiness in front of ants?
But after spending a thousand years with the people of the underworld, it’s a different story.
In the past, when faced with those who questioned the gods' claims of liars, the gods simply ignored them. To argue with a fool is to become a fool yourself.
It's shameful to argue with a fool, but it's not shameful to slap evidence in a fool's face.
If… after the adventurer showed off his achievements in the magic tower, he found that he had no chance of passing it. The gods immediately stepped in and helped him pass the trial with ease.
Then he walked out of the magic tower and told the onlookers that if a god was the adventurer, he would have already killed his way through the dungeon even without using divine power...
Isn't it installed perfectly?
