I am a reincarnation player.

"When the demons are weak, most gods will wait and see. But when the demons grow and become a real threat to their hegemony, the gods will be forced to make a choice out of their desire to survive."

The corners of Freya's mouth twitched. Yuki's words were cold, rational and impeccable. Emotions can be swayed by interests. You can understand this by putting yourself in their shoes.

If the demons really have the potential to rebel against Tiangang, no god can sit still. This is determined by status and interests. If the demons win, it is impossible for them to let themselves go just because they are not stained with blood.

"So did I win or lose?"

She had a strange look on her face as she enjoyed the embrace of the survivors, the cheers of her subjects, and at the same time was attacked by Yuki.

"We won and lost. We should focus all our energy on searching for the 'Chaos Furnace' and Morgas' past. Time is running out. I have almost guessed what the Sky God wants to do." Yuki looked at the burnt earth and the corpses of gods and demons all over the ground, his tone gradually becoming firm.

"He wants to perish together, to completely destroy order with the blood of both sides. If it means winning, he will do everything he can to rescue these people, even if it means exposing his relationship with Morgaus."

The idea of ​​eliminating dissidents has reached a dead end, because Tiberius is the most loyal of the loyalists and cannot be abandoned at any cost.

This may not be his original intention, but as a pervert, he would have left countless contingency plans.

"Use survival to unite the Gods, and use the lives of your direct descendants to clear doubts. Since a slow simmer won't work, turn it into a raging fire. I can even guess what He will do next."

"What?" Freya felt her lips cracking and her heart beating faster.

"There's still one pillar of the old order. I've told you about the strange things happening in Abyssal Castle. Why aren't you investigating? Why are you ignoring it? It turns out they're leaving this behind. They're craving a more intense and bloody battle. Regardless of victory or defeat, both sides will suffer utter losses."

"Can you... get off me!?" Qianjie, who had finally regained the ability to speak, roared, but the two people sitting on him did not move, as if they were two blocks of ice.

Blood flowed like a river, the sky and earth changed color. What could have made the gods, who were forced to unite, go even though they knew they would be beaten to a pulp?

The answer is simple.

"Abyss, Dragon Clan."

......

On the 23rd day of the dungeon, Yuuki returned to Abyss Castle.

This time, the dungeon wasn't as much of a running around as the 'Race Game', and there was more time for rest, but Yuuki was busier than ever before.

There were too many things to do and they were too complicated. Fortunately, Mebius and Qianjie were quite capable, otherwise he would not be able to handle it even if he had three heads and six arms. Riding Pegasus across tens of thousands of kilometers back and forth, his brain rarely had time to rest.

Twenty-three days, except for the relatively comfortable opening week, we fought two major battles and cooperated with people from different forces.

The fox demon's mission now is to hide. This battle is a lose-lose situation. It is unknown whether there are spies inside. The "Paradise" must be used to the fullest extent.

Now Yuki has only one advantage, that is, the God of Sky doesn't know that his small group is playing three women at the same time, while Yuki is visiting people everywhere like a socialite.

After returning safely to the Abyss Castle, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The place was still being rebuilt, and he did not encounter any ambush on the way, indicating that the God of Sky really did not know the details of the battle in Paradise.

Is this considered... using the opponent's own strategy against them?

Yuki didn't know what to say. This was probably his only consolation, because the Sky God's plan was too powerful.

This is an unsolvable conspiracy. Whether you see through it early or late, it is impossible to stop it.

Once a war starts, it is difficult to stop it. Yuki almost guessed the purpose of the Sky God, but could not think of any solution.

He couldn't just pick up a loud speaker and go to the gate of the City of God and shout, "The God of the Sky wants the gods and demons to perish together, completely destroy the order, and thus ignite the furnace of chaos and become the creator of a new era."

Who would believe this? The information about the Chaos Furnace Fire had long been erased. Even if we could find any clues, they would be found from the Demon Clan.

"But the demons are the enemy. Any words they say are unreliable and are too crude to be used as psychological warfare tactics."

Inside the big tent, Yuki was roasting by the bonfire, speaking rather self-deprecatingly.

Around him, Isaac, Dias, and Alfie looked at each other in confusion. Even those who absolutely trusted Yuki were skeptical.

He went to cooperate with the fox demon to kill the gods. If it weren't for the merits he accumulated in the battle of Abyss Castle and if it weren't for his constant guidance, he would have already fallen out with Yuki, because from a standpoint, Abyss Castle and the demons are sworn enemies.

The sea demons are also demons. They almost destroyed the Abyss Castle, and the fox demons are allies, so of course they are enemies.

"That explanation... is a bit forced. Fox demons are very cunning. Are you sure you haven't been fooled?" The War Marshal stroked his thick beard, suddenly ducked to avoid Yuki's straight punch, and chuckled.

"Yes, yes, you are the only one who can fool others, and you can't be fooled by others."

Yuki's ability goes beyond trust. He knows that this man cannot be deceived, and when he thinks about it carefully, there is some truth to it.

"The God of Time, the Goddess of Romance, and the Goddess of Sleep, these are all famous predecessors. Together with Tiberius, the 'Right Hand of God', these gods must not be abandoned. The Demon Hunting Army can be drawn from various city-states, but it is difficult to replenish the gods." Isaac scratched his face. He was more aware of the weight of these names.

"Logically, if they can open a spatial rift once, they should be able to open it a second time, even if it means exposing their collaboration with Morgause. But the Sky God didn't do it. That's not right. Tiberius is a true descendant of the true descendants, and his power over thunder is extremely powerful. He should be able to save them even if he personally intervenes."

Tiberius was killed by Yuki, and was given the special ability of "Thunder Incarnation", which allows him to transform into thunder and be both offensive and defensive.

He combined with the sleeping goddess who was killed at the same time, and condensed into the authority of the gods.

The God of the Sky is truly the transport captain. With this thing, Yuki can activate the Storm Dragon Spear without soul mimicry.

"No, that's right." Yuki glanced at his dashboard and paced back and forth. "It was precisely because of Tiberius's fall that a great defeat occurred, the balance of power was reversed, and what was originally a hunt turned into a true war."

"Isaac, think about it carefully. Why do most gods work without putting in any effort?"

"Because this war is unnecessary and there are many inexplicable aspects."

"Yes, so there's no need to explain. Can you accept the demons winning the war and turning against the Tian Gang?"

Isaac hesitated for a moment, then shook his head along with the Warmaster and his wife.

Of course this is impossible. The demons have been suppressed for thousands of years and have been defeated. If they can win, how can I survive?

Everyone can question and spit on the Sky God's micro-control ability, but we all prosper together and suffer together. Even if we have to settle the score later, we have to win first.

Moreover, in the normal world, incompetent rulers can be replaced, but no one knows what happened to the other five main gods, and the only god of the sky has to follow him even if he is a fool.

This... actually makes some sense.

The defeat in the battle of Paradise was too terrible. Once the fox demon digested the spoils and licked its wounds, the demon clan's strength would increase dramatically. However, ordinary gods did not know about Morgaus. In their eyes, the demon clan was one.

No matter how much you doubt it or how much you want to slack off, there is no need to gamble your life and property.

"But you have no evidence. Everything is based on the assumption of that 'Chaos Furnace Fire.'" Lady Elfy, whose intelligence was evidently high, shook her head slightly. "There's no record of this thing. If that description is wrong, then there's no reason for the Sky God to cut off his own arms. Perhaps it really was a mistake?"

But I still have the decisive evidence that 'no one survived'.

Yuki moved his mouth but didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything. He suddenly realized why the first tip was "Do not disclose any of the tips, violators will be killed."

The destruction mission, shouldn't it be about destroying all participating players? No, to be exact, it's me. Will Mobius and the others be shot while lying down?

Thoughts spread out, then retracted in the face of doubtful eyes.

"We can't rule out this possibility. These speculations are based on the cause and effect. We can't even be sure whether the space rift was opened by Morgas." Yuki seemed to be denying himself, leaving the three of them at a loss. After chatting for a long time, you're just making random guesses?

"The Chaos Furnace Fire incident is already under investigation. I firmly believe that this sneak attack was intended to silence the witnesses. After all, the Turtle Demon being hunted by the first one cannot be explained."

"This is indeed strange, but it is not convincing at all." The War Marshal took a deep breath. It was not that he did not believe Yuki, but the trouble was too serious. He could not cooperate with the demons based on his guess.

If you make a mistake, it will not only bring disaster to Abyss Castle, but you will also be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Logic can only provide direction but cannot replace evidence. There are countless interpretations of the same thing. For example, the battle in Utopia can be speculated to be a case of inaction, but the rule of inability to help cannot be ruled out.

We can only wait for news about the Chaos Furnace Fire. In fact, this is meaningless. No matter how much news we get, it is just word of mouth from the demons and cannot be considered as evidence.

Is there no other way? The Sky God is truly omnipotent. You know exactly what He wants to do, but are powerless to stop Him?

"No, there's still a way. My interference has completely messed up His plan." Yuki paused, his voice becoming firm and high-pitched. "Don't pay attention to what He says. Just focus on what He does next. The Battle of Abyss Castle was more significant than I imagined. It disrupted His plan, forcing Him to leave something behind. The Battle of Arcadia was exploited by Him, but it was a helpless move!"

"The series of accidents will inevitably alert Him, causing Him to accelerate His plans and make a seemingly reasonable, yet foolish, decision."

"So?" The Warmaster leaned forward. He really enjoyed listening to Yuki's analysis. It made him feel like he had grown a brain.

"So you will receive orders. The Demon Hunters will launch a general attack on the Dragon Clan. Abyss Castle must fully cooperate."

This...is unlikely.

It's no longer a question of knowing yourself and the enemy. The exact situation of the dragon clan and whether they are involved in the conspiracy is still unknown. If you want to start a war, you have to investigate.

Before the three of them could retort, the sound of horse hooves was heard. Looking outside the tent, a Pegasus landed, and the silver-armored knight jumped off the horse and knelt on one knee.

"Oracle, Abyssal Castle is ready for a decisive battle. His Majesty the Sky God will personally descend upon the Abyss and uproot the dragon race."

There was complete silence. The War Marshal and the others did not obey the order and looked towards Yuki.

Three faces were confused.

Chapter 19: Forced into a Pirate Ship

This is a guess, but it is also inevitable. Of course, Yuki does not have the ability to predict the future. He received the news from Mobius.

Qianjie is a traitor and a devil who does all kinds of evil, while Yuki is a mysterious man who is full of mysteries and no one knows what role he plays.

Compared to the two of them, Mebius's character is very simple.

A wise man who yearns for justice and glory, not only has great combat power and made many military achievements, but also helps the gods to find out many spies and eliminate several outsiders who are indecisive.

Her reputation was very high and she had passed five trials. Although she had not yet become a god, she was qualified to attend the highest meeting.

The God of the Sky changed his usual silence and took the initiative to summon all the gods to hold a meeting of the gods. In the face of the long-suppressed complaints of the major pantheons, he even did not hesitate to issue a self-blame edict.

"This defeat is my fault. I underestimated these defeated men, resulting in such tragic casualties."

"Now, I will accept the questioning of the gods."

The huge circular conference hall is divided into four rings, which are arranged in order from the back by different levels of gods. The exquisite sculptures and the hundred-meter-high dome with faint light reveal a sacred atmosphere everywhere.

But at this moment, no one except Mebius cared about this miraculous building.

There are always many empty seats in every link. You may not notice it on normal days, but when everyone gets together, the feeling of grief is visible to the naked eye.

This disastrous battle caused the fall of too many gods, and the extremely solid hegemony was shaken in just twenty days. Whenever these gods with infinite lifespans think about it, they feel like they are dreaming.

The most terrifying thing is that in the center of the circle, five of the six huge thrones are vacant, and the only remaining one is Thorion, the god of the sky.

The gods have complicated feelings towards His Majesty. You might say he is foolish and incompetent, but when you think about it carefully, there is really nothing wrong with any of his decisions.

For example, in this battle between foxes and demons, after finally catching these cunning foxes, of course we have to launch a sneak attack. If we can eradicate them completely, the war will be won.

But who knows why something that seemed so sure would go wrong, and why 20 gods had to be added in.

"It's terrible. One-fifth of their strength was lost in one battle. Add to that those who fell one after another before, and there are only about 70 gods left."

"What's even more terrifying is that if a god falls, their authority will be usurped, which means the demons' power will expand several times over."

"This meeting of the gods should have begun long ago. Damn it, I must eliminate the demon and relieve His Majesty's worries."

"I think you want to take back the power and become a god yourself."

Outside the fourth ring are the combat heroes present. The trial can no longer proceed as new rules are now in place.

The demons usurped power, and whoever took it back would become a god. This was a good thing for the entire demon hunting army, as it was much simpler and more brutal than the seven-fold trial. Some even wished that all the chattering gods below would perish and be replaced.

Ah, I really want to make a cup of coffee and some nuts to watch the show.

Mebius yawned quietly, and Snake Eyes admired the world with pleasure, which really allowed her to see some details.

The Sky God is suspected by the gods, but is absolutely supported by the Demon Hunters. Whether it is a big hunt or starting a war, it is very beneficial to mortals.

The gods have a job for everyone, but they are immortal and have blocked the path to advancement. The more they fall, the more vacancies there are. Only with vacancies can everyone make progress.

The absolute support of the Demon Hunters in turn forced the gods to obey. As the saying goes, if you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will. At first, the gods of the five major pantheons disobeyed orders and even resisted arrest violently.

Before the God of Sky could make a move, the Demon Hunters had already captured him. From then on, the gods could take advantage of the situation but did not dare to oppose him.

"The Game of Thrones is really interesting, but the fat woman is too stupid, so it's useless for me to learn it."

Mebius covered his mouth and yawned, then stood on tiptoe to look at the inner ring center in the distance, where the discussion was most intense.

The gods of the five major pantheons were talking at once, almost forgetting their dignity as they besieged the God of the Sky. No wonder the Demon Hunters were ready to make a move.

Are they worthy of being called gods? They are nothing more than a group of creatures that possess great power.

Remembering Yuuki's instructions, she managed to focus her attention and realized that the core issue was still the same:

What's going on with the five main gods? They didn't care before, but now that something so serious has happened, why are they still keeping silent?

The hegemony of the gods may really fall, but as shaky as it seems, everything will be fine as long as the six main gods take action together.

The Sky God had to answer this question, and His answer was unexpected.

"This is precisely the reason for the Great Hunt. Do you really think I must annihilate the demons? Or expand the world's path to ascension? No, the current rules have lasted for ten thousand years, and it's time to restructure them."

"Gods also have lifespans. The six main gods are like the six pillars that support the world. Whenever the old rules come to an end, the pillars will decay, and the world must be reshaped by new rules. This is why the demons remain. Their blood will establish a new era."

There was complete silence. The God of the Sky revealed a shocking secret in an indifferent tone: the gods, no, the main gods also had a lifespan.

The gods fell into deep thought. The amount of information was too much and some of them didn't understand.

"You mean, the other five Majesties fell into a deep sleep because the existing rules have come to an end?"

"Yes, to become a god means to bear the fate of the world. If I continue like this, I will fall into eternal sleep, and then you. A new race of gods will be born, but I don't know who they will be." Thorion sighed, raised his head, his gaze penetrating the dome and the long river of fate.
