CHAPTER 72: CH 72 : BANKRUPT KAIROS 1

"Sister, I bought you a gift," Loki said, a mischievous grin on his face as he fiddled with his spatial ring.

He was trying to find something from the mountains of loot he had collected over the years from all around the Realm of Advancement.

Nova, currently in her elegant humanoid form, sat across from him at a dining table filled with all kinds of delicious food.

The food was a result of Thea’s magic, a service any demigod could buy with their merits.

Nova looked just like the dragon-born race, a beautiful, powerful figure. Loki, now back in his original form, sighed and looked at her.

"Just tell me the truth," Nova said, her voice soft but firm.

Loki sighed again, a true sigh this time.

He then explained the truth about his master plan of escaping, a plan that had sent him on a wild goose chase.

Nova listened patiently, her expression unreadable.

When he finished, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank God you’re safe," she said, her voice filled with the love and care of an older sister.

Loki’s eyes filled with tears.

He had been ready to give her all his merits as an apology, but upon hearing her worried voice, he was stunned.

The two of them then began to talk about all the things that had happened during Loki’s absence.

He was aware of most of the things through Thea but still listened to them like a child listening to the same story every day.

In Solara, in a grand throne room, a half-orc sat, his ministers gathered around him, listening to every order he gave.

It had been 60 years since the Lottery System had bound to him.

Ragnok had been given multiple missions, and by completing them, he had received rewards ranging from A-Grade to SS-Grade.

These rewards were not just weapons and armor; they were also knowledge for fighting, medicine making, and array making.

Not only that, he was even provided with talents, like magic affinity and omni-cognition, through the blessings of the demigods under Sunny.

This made Ragnok the strongest among the life forms under his god, Kairos.

But Kairos didn’t know that Ragnok held a deep malice toward him.

When he was a child, Kairos had not helped any of the half-orcs.

They were constantly killed and made slaves in the empire, but Kairos, their god, turned a blind eye to them.

In truth, they were oblivious to the fact that Kairos was not even aware of most of the things happening in his world.

With a 10x time acceleration, many things felt like a blur to Kairos.

Only when he descended to the world or focus on a single place could he properly interact with it.

But descending into the world would cost many faith points, and with the absence of his system, he was unable to ask for faith from his alliance members, which decreased the faith of the life forms under him, which in turn decreased his faith generation.

He was now a god in name only.

He couldn’t descend, nor could he intervene in anything, as his demigod was lost.

His only hope was the current new king of the empire, a dual S-Grade mage and body refiner, well-versed in alchemy, arrays, and weapon refining.

He knew that this was the halo of a protagonist, meaning there was a chance of Ragnok becoming a demigod.

He even asked his priests to fulfill all the requests from Ragnok.

This in turn helped Ragnok increase his strength more freely.

He had become the king who united all of Solara, and all the races and spirits listened to his commands.

Kairos thought he was still in control of his world, but the truth was, his world was now controlled by Ragnok.

Each life form hailed Ragnok as their only king, and they even forgot about their long-lost god, who hadn’t intervened in their lives for a long time.

It was Ragnok who stopped slavery, gave many technological ideas to Solara, produced many medicinal recipes, created multiple S-Grade weapons, and protected Solara from demon invasion.

They didn’t know that all this was orchestrated by the missions given by Thea.

[New Mission Unlocked]

[Title: Redemption

Grade: SS

Description: You need to lead more than 90% or more of the life forms to the Realm of Advancement.

Note: The more you perform well, the more generous the rewards in the lottery.

Time Left: 364 days 23 hours 59 minutes]

Ragnok felt that the mission was easy, only if their god, Kairos, did not intervene.

But he needed to take the risk.

He ordered most of his army and ministers to expand the area around their portal in the Realm of Advancement.

In the first month, four cities were established. Currently, they had six cities there. Kairos felt something was amiss but, upon looking through the eyes of many people, found nothing. They just talked about the prospect of having multiple cities in the Realm of Advancement and how much it helped them earn treasures and other things. Many people left to live in the Realm of Advancement, but it was still just around 40 percent. Kairos didn’t feel a threat, as the faith was still coming to him. For the next phase, Ragnok required many more cities to be built. All of these things needed to be hidden from Kairos, but Ragnok felt that his god was not looking. Only Thea knew that even though Kairos was not able to see all of Solara clearly because of the 10x time acceleration, he could focus on a single place if he wanted to. Thus, Thea felt Kairos’s vision on Ragnok from time to time.

"Master, the chances of Ragnok getting caught are high," Thea said in a low voice, as Sunny was currently playing chess with a random god.

"Well, how many faith points does Kairos have?" Sunny asked. He knew about Thea’s Omni-Cognition talent, which made her observation skills superb.

"When he destroyed me, he had 200 million faith points. And by calculating the rate of faith production and deduction, he should have almost 40 million faith points only," Thea said as she looked at the moves her master made in chess.

"Oh! Use a single particle of yours to enter the God space of Kairos and then use replication to replicate and then transform into me. I will do the talking," Sunny ordered Thea.

Thea acknowledged Sunny’s command and immediately controlled one of her particles to enter the God space, which was not accessible to anyone unless permitted by the gods themselves. But for her, it was just a walk in the park, as she was just an energy particle.
