Chapter 2086 "The Goddess of Water" Joins the Chat Group, "The Cult of Axis" Welcomes You
"Damn it."
Loki slammed Gungnir heavily onto the ground, causing Asgard to tremble slightly. The lingering divine power in the air silenced the guards outside the palace, making them even breathe more quietly.
However, this emotion only lasted for a short time before he suppressed it.
Loki is Loki after all. Although he didn't expect to be defeated so easily, and he didn't expect Marquis Voban's Godslayer status to have such a terrifying effect on him, he lost, and there was no need to make so many excuses for himself.
Strength is never static; he's lost before, it's just another loss.
We'll figure out a way to win it back in the future.
He took a deep breath, suppressing all the negative emotions churning in his chest, slowly loosening his grip on the gun, and gradually regaining his usual calm.
"The path we took in the past, though we didn't go astray, was still missing something."
Loki was reviewing his past actions.
By conquering and plundering resources, one can accumulate points and then unhesitatingly invest most of them in the [Enlightenment Function] to quickly improve one's understanding of the rules and magical prowess.
The path itself was not wrong; the improvement in strength was real and genuine, which was the fundamental reason why he believed that his strength had caught up with, or even surpassed, Marquis Voban.
But he overlooked one point, or rather, he subconsciously underestimated one point.
Position.
After three enhancements, Marquis Voban's [Godslayer Rank] has a level of suppression over the concept of "gods" that is no longer a simple, superficial effect such as "increased resistance to divine attacks" or "increased damage to gods".
That's suppression at the rule level. It directly affects the concept of "god" itself. When the strength of the two sides in a battle does not have an absolute overwhelming gap, this suppression from "rank" is almost unsolvable.
Loki had considered the issue of "rank" before, but he viewed it more as a natural byproduct of increased strength, a symbolic honor.
As the current King of Asgard and the God of Lies, his "rank" is definitely not low.
But Marquis Voban's Godslayer rank still suppressed him!
It can only be said that there is a huge gap between the two.
"Improving one's strength is the right thing to do, but one's [rank] must also be valued, even placed on an equal footing with, or even with, the improvement of one's strength."
Loki's mind was clearer than ever before.
"By strengthening the [Godslayer Rank], Voban not only boosted his overall strength and authority, but also endowed his rank with various special abilities."
"And what about me?"
"The pure Odin blood flowing through my veins originates from the favor bestowed upon me by Asgard, my divine status, and even the changes that occurred after the Reality Stone was integrated into my authority."
What is my place in the hierarchy?
"Is he the King of Asgard? The God of Lies? Or a combination of all of these?"
"When my [rank] is elevated to a level that can rival Voban's [Godslayer rank], and even counter it in some aspects, combined with my ever-increasing strength, then the balance of power should tilt in my favor."
All you need to do to achieve this is points and luck.
In the past, after the [Enlightenment Function] appeared, he felt that only gamblers would do the [Enhancement Function], and only Marquis Voban would do such a thing; but now, if this can help him surpass Marquis Voban, then why shouldn't he use the [Enhancement Function]?
In terms of points, he had more than Marquis Voban; in terms of courage, he was no less than Marquis Voban; and in terms of luck, he didn't think Marquis Voban was better than him.
If Marquis Voban can do it, then he certainly can.
Meanwhile, in the chat group.
"Ding, group member [Water Goddess] has joined the chat group."
An ordinary group admin: "Welcome newcomer, um, wait a minute, something seems off."
An ordinary group owner: "Goddess of Water?"
The richest man in the lighthouse: "???"
Boil Daigo into soup: "???"
The oldest god-killer: "???"
The Great King of Asgard: "???"
Not only Su Yunqing, Tony, and Daigo, but even Marquis Voban and Loki, who never appeared after the virtual battle ended, couldn't help but ask questions.
It's no wonder they acted this way; the title "newcomer" just seemed too familiar.
"Goddess of Water"?
Could it be the one they know?
However, there must be quite a few gods in the "Myriad Realms" who possess the title of "Goddess of Water," right? It's unlikely that it's a coincidence that they all know the same person.
Just as they were filled with doubt and uncertainty, the newcomer spoke up, and her words made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
Water Goddess: "My head hurts so much, there's so much stuff in there. What's been stuffed into my head? So much information!"
Water Goddess: "Never mind, it's probably nothing important anyway."
Then, she seemed to finally notice the existence of the chat group interface:
Water Goddess: "Hmm? Wait, what is this screen? And who are you people?"
Water Goddess: "Huh, the oldest god-slayer? Are you kidding me? How could such a terrifying thing exist in this world?"
Her tone shifted from doubt to surprise, even a hint of oddness, showing no reverence whatsoever for the title "Godslayer."
Her reaction confirmed her identity to everyone.
As expected, she is the "Goddess of Water" they know.
An ordinary group admin: "Although my identity has been confirmed, just in case, I'll still ask, are you Aqua?"
Although it was already confirmed, Su Yunqing still checked it again.
Water Goddess: "Hmm? You know me?"
Aqua was surprised that someone recognized her, but as if she had thought of something, a smile appeared on her face.
Water Goddess: "You must be a member of the Axis Cult. Although my devout followers are all over the world, it is quite a coincidence to meet you in this strange place."
Goddess of Water: "That's right, I am the supreme goddess of water, the one who is both beautiful and wise, and who guides lost sheep, Lady Aqua."
The Goddess of Water: "You are incredibly lucky to be able to see my face and hear my voice."
Su Yunqing covered her face; it really was her.
They actually mistook her for a member of the Axis cult. Is that a cult that normal people would join?
However, before she could explain, Kazuma Sato also noticed that a new person had joined the chat group.
I subconsciously prepared to welcome the newcomer, and then I saw the group name "Goddess of Water" and what Aqua had said.
Kazuma, the human-headed dog: "Wait, Aqua, how did you get in here?!"
Kazuma and the human-headed dog: "How did you get in with this kind of luck?"
Kazuma Sato's tone was filled with disbelief.
What kind of hellish joke is this? How did Aqua's luck get chosen by the chat group?
Water Goddess: "Who are you? Are you also a member of my Axis Cult?"
Aqua clearly didn't recognize Kazuma Sato at all, and just thought that this guy was yelling and shouting from the moment he came in, and his attitude was terrible and completely unreasonable.
What do you mean by "how did she get in with such luck"? Isn't it perfectly normal for Aqua, the goddess, to be able to get in?
Where is this place?
Kazuma Sato couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Aqua's words. "So, everyone who knows you is from the Axis sect?"
Sure enough, the Aqua from the parallel world is still Aqua, and her self-satisfied demeanor is exactly the same!
Kazuma: "Who would be a member of that kind of crooked cult?"
Kazuma and the human-headed dog: "And another thing, you, this god-like goddess with practically negative luck, what kind of incredible luck did you have to be chosen by the chat group?!"
This is what Kazuma Sato doesn't understand the most.
Aqua's luck is notoriously bad. Although the chat group considers the world's weight when selecting people, there are many people with great world weight, so the selection is still made from among them.
In this situation, there is also an element of luck involved.
As for luck, no matter who you choose, you can't possibly get Aqua. Even Huihui and Darkness are more likely to be chosen than Aqua.
Aside from Kazuma Sato, Eris was probably the one who should have been chosen the most.
Water Goddess: "How rude! How incredibly rude!"
Aqua, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, raised her voice a little.
Water Goddess: "Who are you calling an idiot goddess? Who has negative luck? I am the super powerful Water Goddess Aqua."
Goddess of Water: "I was chosen by this strange place, of course, because my excellence and greatness as a goddess have been recognized."
Goddess of Water: "And how could you slander such a noble and beautiful goddess? You must be jealous of my beauty and wisdom, you must be!"
The Goddess of Water: "And you dare to speak disrespectfully to the goddess, it's obvious you've been corrupted by evil thoughts, I need to cleanse your soul with purifying water."
The Goddess of Water: "Quickly state your name and sect, I want everyone in the Axis sect to know about your disrespect towards the goddess."
Kazuma the Headless Dog: "Cleansing the soul? What can your purification spell do besides dealing with ghosts and undead? I'd rather waste water giving me a bath!"
Sato Kazuma's words also triggered an instinctive reaction.
Human-Headed Dog and True: "Still spreading the goddess's glory? You should be thankful if you don't spread misfortune and trouble everywhere. You know you were wrong before, there's no reasoning with a stupid goddess like you."
Human Head Dog and Zhen: "In short, joining this group is definitely one of the biggest misfortunes in any chat group."
Although it's Aqua from a parallel world, Kazuma Sato makes sarcastic remarks without any hesitation.
Goddess of Water: "Ugh, you're so angry! You bastard, if you dare, give me your name, and I'll flood you with water!"
Aqua was clearly quite angry with Kazuma Sato, and even started making threats.
An ordinary group owner: "."
Su Yunqing couldn't help but facepalm when she saw the conversation between the two.
Sure enough, the art style changed as soon as Aqua arrived.
However, this is also because Kazuma Sato is in the chat group; the "tacit understanding" between the two is simply too strong.
The richest man in the lighthouse: "Pfft, this feels familiar."
Tony couldn't help but laugh.
Although he had never seen Aqua in person, he knew the goddess very well from the memory copy.
When Kazuma Sato met Aqua from his world before, he was disappointed that the Aqua was different from the Aqua in the memory copy; he never expected that the "real" Aqua would join the chat group now.
I really envy Kazuma Sato. He has an Aqua in his own world, and then there's another Aqua in the chat group.
He is so lucky.
Kasumi Shiko: "It was an expected development, after all, it's that goddess."
Kasumigaoka Utaha watched with great interest, finding it much more interesting than the discussion about the "gods" of the One Piece world they had just discussed.
Kazuma: "Fine, I'm too lazy to argue with you."
Human Head Dog and True: "Go and read the message sent to you in the chat group obediently."
Human-Headed Dog and True: "This is a chat group connecting different worlds. Every member comes from a different world; understand? Different worlds!"
Kazuma the Headless Dog: "And I am Kazuma Sato from another world."
Kazuma Sato, too lazy to argue with Aqua any longer, decisively chose to give up on treatment and let her look at the information sent to her in the chat group.
But if Aqua were so easily persuaded, she wouldn't be Aqua.
Water Goddess: "Why should I do it just because you say so? I am the water goddess Aqua."
Goddess of Water: "Besides, didn't you say yourself that every member here comes from another world? I am the Goddess of Water, the deity in charge of reincarnation in other worlds."
Water Goddess: "I've seen countless other worlds, what's so interesting about this one?"
Water Goddess: "And why are you emphasizing that you are Sato Kazuma? Are you someone I reincarnated?"
Water Goddess: "I don't remember at all."
Aqua declared confidently that she was a goddess, the goddess in charge of reincarnation into another world.
Isn't it just that everyone comes from a different world? What's there to say about that?
Kazuma: "Baka! I already said parallel worlds, you have no idea what parallel worlds are?!"
Kazuma Sato felt like he was about to have a stroke. Communicating with a goddess who spouted nonsense without even understanding basic concepts was like living in hell.
Kazuma and the Headless Dog: "Is the world this chat group connects to the same concept as the ones you reincarnated into? The god-slayers here are people who actually kill gods!"
Goddess of Water: "What about the Godslayer?"
Goddess of Water: "I am a goddess, beloved by my followers, and I have no fear of any god-slayers."
Goddess of Water: "And so what if it's a parallel world? It's still a world."
Aqua was a little intimidated by the "godslayer," but she still refused to back down verbally.
She's typically stubborn, coupled with an instinctive resistance to the unknown; do you want her to look at potentially complex basic information?
She wouldn't do that.
Seeing that the two were about to fall into another meaningless cycle of "you're stupid" and "you're the stupid one," Su Yunqing shook her head. Sure enough, she had to intervene herself.
