The future was quite difficult to predict, but if there were precedents, it would be possible to predict what would happen next.
Rorschach's guess wasn't wrong. The Evil Gods would be banished, as the chances of other Evil Gods appearing were far too low.
If the germs that invaded the human body weren't banished, then the entire human body (or world) would probably be destroyed. The Aishi wasn't that weak yet.
"Is it all over? Have the Evil Gods all been exterminated? "
When Roxia woke up from his sleep, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the familiar ceiling. It would seem that he had returned to the headquarters of Thor's Game Church. At the very least, this place seemed safe.
[The beastmen Main God, the Lord of the Wilderness, attacked. He and his Follower Gods directly wiped out the entire city. The Evil Gods and servants only lasted three hours in front of his wild army.]
This was an expected answer, but I never expected that a beastmen Main God would attack. After all, he wasn't that experienced, and there weren't many legends about him. Plus, the beastmen had a complex internal environment. Even a beastman Main God wouldn't be considered one of the strongest Main Gods in terms of power level or reputation.
"… Why did he attack? He has designs on Saul … Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."
Rorschach woke up and regained his senses. He didn't need to think too much about the higher-ups' matters. In this world where magic existed, any random mention of a God or a major character's name would attract the attention of the enemy.
It didn't matter who attacked to solve the problem. After all, the world of major characters was far too far away from Rorschach. The important thing was …
"What happened to Jack?"
[He was' destroyed 'after causing a huge ruckus. But you should know that Evil Gods …]
With Lori's help, Rorschach quickly understood what happened next.
Just as expected, the Evil God that descended was banished. The Evil God that possessed the Concept of Lies was banished as well. The newly born Evil God Jack only lasted thirty seconds in front of the beastmen Main God before he was annihilated.
However, this wasn't the end. Or, perhaps it should be said that this was just the beginning.
Evil Gods could only come to this world as projections or avatars. Killing them would be the same as expelling them from the world, while the main body would be able to obtain sufficient benefits.
[323 deaths, an equal number of missing persons, and ten times the number of injured. The destruction of six districts is nothing. But compared to the results of the previous Evil Gods' invasions, this was already pretty good. It was probably because the Evil Gods weren't interested in starting a massacre in the first place. Perhaps they were just greeting the Evil Gods. Looks like there's going to be fun in the future.]
After a moment of silence for the deceased, Rorschach frowned, indicating that he had realized the seriousness of the matter.
"My enemy has been possessed by the main character. What should I do if he suddenly becomes an Evil God? I'm waiting online. It's very urgent … Alright, I'll stop joking around. This is really troublesome."
Without a smuggled Heretical God Seed, the Heretical Gods would not be able to descend upon Aishi. But in Ansorenne, the situation was different. The Heretical Gods and Aishi Gods were equally divided.
If Roland's group arrived in Ansorenne, it would be really troublesome if an Evil God constantly targeted them.
"… At the very least, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term. After all, he probably hasn't descended upon Ansorenne yet."
That was all Rorschach could think about. But everyone knew that this was probably just the beginning of the trouble.
But in a way, even if a new Evil God targeted them, Rorschach and the Game Church would only be a small problem.
Evil Gods were the mortal enemies of the new Aishi Gods, after all. It was only a matter of time before they started killing each other. Being targeted by an Evil God was also a common occurrence for medium and large churches.
However, the true problem wasn't Rorschach's group.
"… How do the elves intend to deal with the current situation? It's likely that they owe everyone an explanation. With so many casualties … "
That's right, the ones who truly needed to take responsibility were the entire Elven Empire. Now that things had reached this point, just the silver elf faction alone wouldn't be enough to take responsibility.
A former Descender exposed his vile behavior and was then put on the wanted list. This had become a hot scandal recently.
At this stage, most outsiders would still be able to laugh out loud. After all, this was a scandal within the silver elves. Outsiders couldn't do anything about it, nor did they want to. It would be quite appropriate to treat it as an after-meal meal in taverns.
But later, in this Battle of the Gods, Jack appeared once again as a Descender of the silver elves.
In that case, he was now a member of the silver elves' faction. His previous betrayal was also forgiven. In other words, the silver elves used their own reputation to vouch for him, guaranteeing that there was no problem with him. His previous crimes were also forgiven!
But the losses had already been caused. Since they forgave him, they naturally had to clean up the mess. And what he did afterwards couldn't possibly be explained away with the excuse of "acting on his own."
No matter how the silver elves intended to take revenge, the silver elves naturally had to take full responsibility for Jack's actions before they turned against him.
But what happened next made this responsibility far too heavy.
A new Elven God who was one of the main pillars of the silver elves became a vessel for an Evil God, causing such a large number of deaths and losses. Neglecting his duty, slacking off, and even colluding with an enemy, this was a serious crime.
[They're still arguing, but it's said that the Beastman Main God was furious. He pressured the silver elves together with the Nature Faction, directly canceling half of the silver elves' supplies for the next two years, as well as all new Descenders. And this is only the beginning. They might even give up Ansorenne's territory and resources as compensation. No matter what, they really don't have time to make trouble for us this time.]
Rorschach was rather happy to hear this. He finally had some good news.
As for the results of the competition? Previously, Rorschach was still worried that the silver elves would use their power to bully others and act shamelessly. But now that they couldn't even take care of themselves, they would naturally pay a huge price to quickly understand the situation.
[Relax, Sister Rosa will help us fight to the end. She definitely won't let the silver elves go back on their word just because the silver elves' War God is finished. Judging from the feedback, they've already given in.]
Revenge after beating a dog while it's down? Based on the elves' habits, if they didn't beat them up when they were down on their luck, would they not take revenge in the future? Since they would take revenge no matter what, they would naturally try to get the benefits first.
It seemed that no matter if it was the Game Church or Rorschach himself, they wouldn't have to worry about money for a long time. And Ansorenne's great shipbuilding business seemed to finally be able to begin.
"This time, we've really made a killing."
Roxia wasn't muttering to himself because of the unforeseeable compensation. Rather, he was muttering to himself because of a familiar large book on the table.
When he noticed the big book inlaid with a silver lock on the desk, the corners of his mouth unconsciously overflowed with a smile.
The pale pages faintly revealed a cold dark silver color. The Hand of Mages emblem on the cover represented its origin — the Truth Symposium.
It was simple, old, and didn't even have any decorations. But no one could ignore the power contained within this book.
