The God's Games

All he could do was gather the belongings of the fallen and rush back to the command center, delivering the news to Jenlyns.

After hearing what happened, Jenlyns's numb and calm face barely changed as he replied, "I see."

He fell into deep thought, unsure of what to instruct Master PungPong to do next.

Luckily, Master PungPong had grown accustomed to this, patiently waiting for Jenlyns to finish thinking.

Jenlyns muttered, "The pressure from the demons is increasing. We'll need to station more people to hold the line, but most importantly, we must relieve this pressure. Otherwise, our people won't be able to sustain this."

After Jenlyns finished, Master PungPong asked, "Commander, what should I do next?"

Jenlyns, snapped back to reality by the question, responded, "You've done well. I'll send additional reinforcements. You should go with them."

Without any more small talk, Master PungPong took the mission and left.

This scene made the viewers in live streaming chat feels uncomfortable.

Perhaps they hadn't expected the war to be this brutal—lives taken just like that, without warning.

[ @MasterPungPongThirdWife: Should we say we're lucky that we don't have to go through this ourselves? ]

[ @MasterPungPong2ndWife: This game is becoming too real. I can't even bear to watch anymore. ]

[ @MasterPungPong1stWife: It's always been real. It's just that this scene is so cruel, it almost doesn't feel like a game anymore. ]

[ @MasterPungPongOfficialWife: It's so real, and yet the immersion is so strong. I almost wish I could enter the game and do my part. ]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[ @MasterPungPongLittleTurtle: Yeah, didn't the promotion say that the game's outcome is in the players' hands? ]

Master PungPong stepped out of the command center, sighed, and said, "What you're saying isn't wrong; reality is indeed this cruel. But the good news is that we can change all of this—we can save the world."

The visible clashes between the demons and Ulon City were becoming increasingly apparent.

In the end, every victory was achieved only through significant sacrifice.

Even Jenlyns couldn't help but remark, "It seems the final battle is approaching quickly."

At that moment, those gathered around him showed a hardened resolve, expressing their determination: "We swear to live and die together with Ulon City!"

The voices from the command center echoed outside, amplifying the call: "We swear to live and die together with Ulon City!"

Hanjun, who hadn't heard this for a long time, let out a soft sigh as he gazed toward the nearby demons.

He sensed that his battle with Hanbin was about to begin soon.

"What are you doing?"

The man with white curls walked to the edge of a small river and saw the dark-haired man crouching, fiddling with something.

They were the creators of this world.

Yet now, the world was peaceful, with the occasional bird flying by, green plants sprouting, and water flowing gently away—only the two of them existed in this realm.

Although the God of Darkness thought having just the two of them was fine, he heard his other half mention feeling a bit bored and wanting a few companions to talk to.

Since his other half had said this, the God of Darkness started to think of ways to address it.

Given that they had created the entire world, why not create companions similar to themselves?

The God of Darkness thought this way, but when they initially created the world, they acted on instinct without thinking; however, creating companions required careful consideration.

After crouching by the river for a long time, the God of Darkness finally came up with an idea.

With the power of water, he molded a mermaid with a fish tail and human body in his hands.

At that moment, the God of Light appeared behind him, asking in surprise, "Did you create this?"

The God of Darkness nodded his head shyly and placed the mermaid into the water.

The blue-tailed, white-haired mermaid swam around, and upon realizing who his creator was, he floated up from the water, gazing at the God of Darkness with her big eyes.

The God of Light wanted to tease the mermaid, but he noticed that the mermaid was completely indifferent to him, focusing solely on the God of Darkness.

With a hint of disappointment, the God of Light retracted his hand; it was the first time he had felt this way.

Seeing this, the God of Darkness immediately furrowed his brow.

The mermaid, sensing the terrifying aura radiating from the God of Darkness, panicked and quickly retreated into the water, leaving only his head above the surface, cautiously looking toward the God of Darkness.

Initially pleased by the God of Light's interest, the God of Darkness's fondness for the mermaid plummeted upon witnessing this scene.

The mermaid couldn't understand why his creator, who had just shown him a hint of a smile, suddenly changed his attitude.

But he was still just a naive little creature.

The God of Light keenly noticed this and grasped the God of Darkness's hand, saying, "Don't be so fierce; she's a creature you created. You need to teach her well."

The God of Darkness pursed his lips and asked, "Then what do you think of her?"

The God of Light hesitated for a moment, ultimately choosing not to answer, "She's your creation, so why ask me?"

His response sounded less than enthusiastic, making the God of Darkness pout.

Now that he had created the first race, things became much simpler for the God of Darkness.

He pondered why the God of Light didn't like the mermaid; perhaps it was due to beauty or strength.

He then went on to create elves, dragons, and other races, yet he still did not receive a satisfactory response from the God of Light.

The God of Light simply said, "As for me, of course, I prefer the races I created."

The God of Darkness asked, "Then what kind of creature do you want to create?"

Hanjun stroked his chin and thought for a long time, then said, "I want a race that isn't particularly strong, not especially good-looking, and without any remarkable talents."
