Chapter 148 The Assembly of the Gods!
"Commander, what should we do?"
After Lin Yu left, several of Chanis's trusted subordinates came over. Although they hadn't heard Lin Yu threaten their leader with any secret, the previous incident alone was enough to cause their Soma Familia a lot of trouble.
"Send people to investigate the situation of that Hestia Familia, especially Lin Yu's, and try to acquire as many weapons, equipment, magic swords, and other combat supplies as possible."
Chanis gave the order.
Now, the only option left is to play the war game. The situation of the Hestia Familia is unclear, but they are unlikely to be stronger than the Soma Familia. It's hard to say who will win the war game, but if they win, they will have leverage over Lin Yu.
If they win, the Hestia Familia will become their subordinate family. Once their Soma Familia is destroyed, the Hestia Familia will be destroyed as well. Unless Lin Yu wants to die together with them, he will never dare to threaten him so recklessly in the future. Then he will have a chance to retaliate. However, all of this is on the premise that they win.
So even at a huge cost, he was determined to win this war game.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances. It seemed that the war game was truly about to begin. In the Soma Familia, Chanis was always the one who had the final say, so the others naturally dared not object and quickly accepted the order. However, they were somewhat worried about the future. They had just witnessed Lin Yu's strength and felt that he was even stronger than a seasoned Iv2, making him extremely difficult to deal with.
On the second night, on the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel, a large number of gods gathered.
The Gathering of the Gods is held periodically in Orario, where the gods gather to discuss their achievements, boast about their children, and bestow titles upon newly leveled adventurers—most of which are rather cheesy and childish.
The gods were very interested in these things; in other words, the assembly of the gods was essentially a place for the gods to have fun.
Of course, sometimes games are held suddenly, usually when something significant has happened, such as when one clan launches a war game against another.
"Why did you suddenly launch a war game against the Soma Familia? What happened?"
In the main hall on the thirtieth floor of the Tower of Babel, Hephaestus was chatting with Hestia.
Hephaestus was quite puzzled by Hestia's war game against the Soma Familia. After all, she knew Hestia well and found it hard to imagine what could have made her so angry.
"Nothing happened, we just learned some information about the Soma Familia."
Hestia told Hephaestus about the two things.
"In that case, why not just inform the guild directly? Why start a war game in the first place?"
"It's Lin Yu; he wants the Soma Familia."
"You just agreed right away?"
Hestia scratched her cheek without saying anything. Mainly, she trusted Lin Yu and believed that they could win the war game, which is why she readily agreed.
"Hey shorty, so this is you! I've been looking for you for ages."
Just as the two continued their conversation, a voice came from not far away.
"Tsk, here comes that annoying guy."
Hestia turned around and looked at the goddess coming towards her.
This goddess has fiery red hair, but a relatively slender figure. She is dressed in an expensive suit and has a somewhat androgynous style. She is none other than Loki, the chief god of the Loki Familia.
"What are you doing here?"
Hestia was naturally not going to be friendly to her arch-enemy.
Loki, however, didn't seem to care. He simply asked curiously, "Little dwarf, you should know what War Games mean, right?"
"Of course I know."
"Then you still dare to start a war game? I remember you only recently descended to the mortal realm, didn't you?"
"So what if it is!"
"You don't mean you think life in the mortal realm is too hard, so you're looking for an excuse to go back to heaven and be a reclusive god, do you?"
Loki guessed.
The Soma Familia is indeed not powerful, but it still numbers in the hundreds, with several Iv2s. Loki could only guess that Hestia, who had only recently descended to the mortal realm, was truly courting death.
"How could that be? I launched this war game with absolute confidence in victory."
Hestia crossed her arms and snorted coldly.
"Confidence in victory? Where do you get that confidence?"
Loki couldn't understand it. Could it be that a high-ranking adventurer from some clan had transferred to this little dwarf's clan? But the guild hadn't sent any such news.
"Mind your own business!"
Hestia tossed her head, ignoring Loki.
Hephaestus, however, had some guesses. After all, she had met Lin Yu and knew that he had equipment that could ignore attacks below level Iv4. But relying solely on that equipment might not be enough to win the war game, unless it happened to be a one-on-one game like an arena battle or a duel.
In games like siege warfare that require a large number of players, defense alone won't be enough unless you have corresponding attack power. Or does Lin Yu have attack-type equipment that he just hasn't used yet, which is why he's so confident?
Just as Loki was still chasing Hestia, trying to find out the specific reason, a sudden commotion broke out in the hall. Soma, the other protagonist, had arrived. He was wearing a loose robe, not a fancy one, and his long hair, which hadn't been styled in a long time, covered his eyes, making him look out of place among the other radiant gods.
Now that the other main character has arrived, the grand assembly is about to begin, and the other gods are starting to discuss among themselves.
"Soma has arrived."
"It's finally here! I've been so bored waiting."
"I wonder if this war game will even work out."
"It should be fine. The Soma Familia is definitely stronger than Hestia's, so there's no reason not to agree."
"That's hard to say. Hestia initiated the war game herself; she definitely has something to rely on!"
"If it works out, I wonder who will win."
"It must be the Soma Familia. I checked with the guild, and Hestia's Familia was only established a few days ago, and there's only one level 1 member."
"No way, how dare she start a war game?"
Who knows?
After Soma arrived, the venue became noisy.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
A silver-haired goddess spoke, and although her voice was not loud, it silenced the entire venue. This goddess was none other than Freya, the chief goddess of the Freya Familia, the first Familia of Orario.
"Ahem, everyone, everyone's here. I'll be the host of this Grand Assembly of the Gods."
Seeing that Freya was only maintaining order and had no intention of presiding over the meeting, Loki naturally took the initiative to preside over the meeting.
"First, let's confirm each other's intentions. Hestia, Soma, are you two sure you want to engage in the War Game?"
"Sure."
"Sure."
Both of them responded at the same time.
"Alright..."
'
"Wait a moment."
Just as Loki was about to move on to the next item, Soma suddenly interrupted her.
