At the end of last year, the Game Church received the T300 award and the "Child of Nature" award.
The T300 was a reward given to the three hundred New God's churches that improved the fastest based on data analysis. However, the reward wasn't much, and the essence of the reward was the honor of being chosen.
The churches that improved the fastest would naturally receive the title of "Most Potential" and "Most Investment Value." Although they were only in the top three hundred, compared to the tens of thousands of New Gods that appeared every year in Aishi, they were definitely in the top one percent of the top quality stocks.
This was a type of honor, a type of recognition, and a priceless reward that came with huge investments and allies.
This year, the Game Church experienced another great leap in development. They went from being a fringe organization in Vila Nova Dônia to a faction with real power. By the end of this year, the Game Church might not even receive the T300 award, but the T30 award.
Many outsiders were analyzing the reasons for the Game Church's success, and all kinds of analysis reports were released, but they couldn't avoid one person — Rorschach.
He was a Gold Elf, the holder of the Super S talent "Honesty", and a relative of God. However, the most accurate title that couldn't be avoided was "the actual leader of the Game Church."
A newcomer who had only been in this world for less than six years had taken control of a New God's church and even made it bigger and bigger. This sounded unbelievable, but it was the truth.
Actually, this was the Game Church's decision. If Rorschach hadn't pulled himself together and taken the initiative to steer the ship, who knew where this ship would have sailed to?
Lori was undoubtedly a genius to have become famous at such a young age. However, she was a magical prodigy, and her social skills were barely passable. She played politics with sly and cunning factions without any honor … If her EQ and IQ had been at the same level back then, she wouldn't have ended up in such a pitiful state.
The Game Church did indeed have many professional advisors, but these people were still outsiders. If you could name a price, your opponent could name a price as well. If you didn't even have the ability to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, you would be sold off sooner or later. A true genius wouldn't be willing to work under an idiot who couldn't even identify their own value.
"You have to pull yourself together. You have to have a sense of crisis. Little Sister can muddle along, but you definitely can't."
It was quite helpless, but also quite natural. As Loli's relative, Roxia had unknowingly become the true leader of the Church of Games over the past few years.
Apart from last year's T300, there was another reward for the Son of Nature. This was an individual reward given by the Nature Faction. Nominally, it was given to the most outstanding New God's Church, but everyone knew that this was actually a year-end benefit for the New Gods of the Nature Faction.
The rewards were plentiful, so plentiful that it made people green with envy. Even within the Nature Faction, it was definitely not enough to be distributed.
Naturally, according to Aishi and Ansorenne's usual "rules", they would commend those who did the best, had the most potential, or were the most loyal.
For the Game Church to be able to obtain this reward, it wasn't just because of their outstanding performance.
The Game Church had never concealed their ambition to operate independently, yet they still maintained a relatively good relationship with the Nature Faction. In fact, they were even able to obtain benefits that were basically only given to members of the Nature Faction … Even Rorschach himself wouldn't believe that there wasn't a series of messy transactions involved.
When everyone else had already chosen a side, if one still held on to the so-called absolute neutrality, then one would naturally become an "orphan" and stand against everyone else.
The Game Church's position had always been very ambiguous. While he leaned against the Nature Faction, he always carefully maintained a distance from them. Not only did he never take the initiative to request for any support or benefits, but he also always maintained a distance from them. Yet, he still had to be seen as a member of the Nature Faction … This required quite a bit of political wisdom. At the same time, it was inevitable that others would overthink things.
Everything in the world was like a new game of chess. From the moment he received his younger sister's letter, Rorschach realized that his fate was no longer up to him. It was as if he had already become a chess piece of some existence.
There was no possibility for him to refuse, because his lifeline had already been grasped … With the premise that Lori became the new Aishi Goddess, Rorschach would have to be ruthless enough to abandon his loved ones. In that case, obediently joining the game seemed to be his only choice.
When he joined the game, he had already prepared for the worst. That was, he would become someone else's prey and plaything the moment he arrived at the Aishi Goddess. He would be swallowed whole.
The only thing worth rejoicing over was that the situation was much better than expected. It seemed that the chess player wasn't just from the Nature Faction. It also seemed that there was someone helping him and Lori behind the scenes.
"It seems that we've become chess pieces in the chess game …"
However, everyone knew that outsiders would always be unreliable. Lori's ending repeatedly reminded Rorschach that this seemingly peaceful era was actually a bloody and barbaric law of the jungle.
Children of the poor would have to take care of their own families at an early age. The responsibility on their shoulders would always force them to take care of themselves. Once they had no one to rely on, they would naturally be forced to mature.
Not only did Rorschach take over the helm, he also did many things that could be talked about, and could not be talked about.
For certain people who were used to being high and mighty, it was enough to judge a person based on the results.
"The little fox from the Northlands."
Unknowingly, Rorschach received this nickname from certain people.
He was still used to being a chess piece, silently carrying out his duties. It was as if he didn't even notice the chess players behind him … That was because he himself lacked the power to become a chess player. As a chess piece, he didn't even have the ambition to look up. He was only worried that he would lose his value as a chess piece and be casually sacrificed.
"It's not a good thing to think too much before you have the power to jump out of the chess game. A chess piece that stands out too much, a chess piece with its own consciousness, will only be casually sacrificed by the chess player."
Rorschach had always viewed himself and the Game Church as weak.
He knew very well that the reason he was willing to be a chess piece was because he was indeed very weak. However, Ansolion was like a boundless sky. Sooner or later, he would be able to jump out of the chessboard.
On the other hand, he had secretly studied and thought about certain things that were hidden behind the scenes. You could go with the flow and become someone else's chess piece, but if you were really muddle-headed and didn't know anything, then you would be finished sooner or later.
This time, Rorschach had seen through many things from the very beginning. He had also prepared a plan to take risks.
"… We can't just do nothing. That would be tantamount to betraying Vila Nova Dônia and the New God Alliance. We will definitely be eliminated from the game after this, but we also can't take the lead in doing something big. Jumping out to show off our agility in front of two giant beasts when they're fighting is nothing short of suicidal."
"… If my guess is correct, we have no chance of winning this battle from the very beginning. Yes, the entire Vila Nova Dônia and the New God Alliance have already lost. However, I and the Game Church haven't lost yet."
Finally, Rorschach began to carry out his plan in the face of multiple Evil Gods' reactions.
"Jack! Just as you planned, I'm here. You bastard, you still don't dare to show up? "
Following Rorschach's angry roar, Lori's divine soul also returned to her position. The light of God's Descent descended once again. Rorschach, who was at the peak of his combat strength, directly challenged his mortal enemy to a duel.
