Because under Lipoort's control, 80 percent of the world's wealth is concentrated in his hands.
Furthermore, he declared to the entire world,
He appeared before the world as a god.
Half-naked, revealing his muscular chest, wearing sandals with wings on his feet, and wings sprouting from his ears.
Hermes sat leisurely on the floating rock, legs crossed, eyes lowered, seemingly regarding the inhabitants of the world as ants.
“I stole all your wealth.”
"Want it? Then come and get it yourself."
This was a harbinger of the gods' descent. Hermes, as the forerunner of the gods, was the first to provoke and test the entire world.
According to the storyline, players will gradually advance towards Hermes' palace, defeat this despicable god of thievery, and reclaim the world's wealth.
This also triggers the descent of the gods, opening the final chapter.
But... when the player steps into Hermes's magnificent palace,
Originally, it was supposed to be the first god boss to practice against, preparing for the many god bosses that would follow.
As a result, after the players arrived at the boss room,
Hermes, who should have been standing proudly in the center of the palace awaiting his challenge, was now on the verge of death.
Only the bloodstained wing roots remained of the feathers near his ears, and even his shoes were nowhere to be found.
He lay on the ground, like a dead fish, unable to struggle or move.
It looked like he had just been through a brutal beating.
At this point, even the most careless player in the rugby helmet realized that something was seriously wrong.
His storyline is significantly different from that of other players.
He tried to report this strange plot to the game's official team and even sought help on player forums.
However, the responses all indicated that there were no abnormalities.
The experts on the player forums also expressed their helplessness, as no one could answer his question.
Instead, most people thought he was showing off how fast he could defeat the boss, making it seem unchallenging.
After all, this kind of situation, which doesn't affect the main plot, isn't really a major bug.
Since that was the case, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue his sightseeing.
To prove that his claims were true, he kept recording the game in the subsequent episodes, searching for decisive evidence of discrepancies in the plot.
He already has two bosses he hasn't defeated yet.
However, despite his continued recording, no changes occurred in the storyline.
After Hermes was defeated, the game quickly moved into the phase of the gods descending.
Zeus and the other gods pierced through the clouds and descended from the heavens, punishing Hermes with thunderbolts and announcing their return to the world.
To attract more believers, Zeus's arrival also brought with it the Colosseum of the Gods.
The God Ranking Tournament, bringing together players from all over the world, has also begun.
The whole world is buzzing with excitement over this competition that brings together the best of the best.
In the God Ranking Tournament, players can choose a god lineup before the battle and receive a permanent blessing buff from that god.
For example, the God King lineup, the Sea God lineup, and the War God lineup.
The selection of lineups aims to balance the number of participants in the rankings, so that the gods can fairly enjoy the faith of mankind.
For example, if a certain team wins, that team will gain more faith.
Finally, with the end of the qualifying rounds,
The side with the most faith wins, and players will receive far more rewards than those of other factions.
This was the initial mechanism of the ranking competition among the gods.
Subsequently, players wearing rugby hats and iron masks also entered the Arena of the Gods.
He joined a divine team and chose a divine buff that he particularly needed.
After that, he also participated in the God Ranking Tournament, and began to be matched with players of similar skill levels, hoping to achieve good results.
However, the strangest thing happened.
This player can't find other players to match with.
Despite numerous players on player forums reporting that ranked matches can be matched within a second,
Excessively long matching times are only possible when the segment size is extremely high.
However, he had been waiting for a full hour.
Even though he had never played any ranked matches and was in the lowest rank, he couldn't find any opponents.
It was as if he had become the most unique and out-of-place player.
Looking back, he experienced many other strange events that no other player had ever experienced.
Gwen spared her own father and was spared the infamy of patricide.
Instead of engaging him in battle, they allowed him to secure the victory directly.
Hermes was also beaten up by someone, but no one knows who.
All of these are experiences that other players have never had.
Perhaps, that's why his gaming experience is destined to be different?
After a long wait, the rugby helmet player finally gave up on participating in the God Ranking Tournament.
Instead, they chose to continue advancing the main storyline.
After all, the God Ranking Tournament is just a PvP challenge open to players.
It is simply set against the backdrop of a divine descent, thus avoiding any sense of incongruity in the plot.
In fact, this ranking competition has nothing to do with the main storyline. Even if the storyline ends, the God Ranking Competition will remain open.
Players can enter the main storyline at any time if they wish.
On the player's timeline, they can skip directly to the background story of the God Ranking Tournament.
As the story unfolds, the gods gain unprecedented faith through the arena.
They became more powerful and thus abandoned their pretense, openly coveting the Karencia Empire.
