Izayoi Sakamaki: Joining the Chat Group at the Start — Making Friends with White Night Yaksha

Just becoming friends with White Night Yaksha would be enough for him to roam Hakoniwa freely.

"True. Oh, right, this is for you."

Izayoi Sakamaki knew the absurd idea in his heart could never come true, but that faint trace of wishful thinking still made him ask the question.

Then, he took a bronze helmet from the System Space and tossed it to her.

"What is this?"

Looking at the helmet, which somewhat resembled the one worn by Perseus when he had invaded No Name, Kasukabe Yō asked curiously.

"The Invisibility Helmet. It's the genuine article I stripped off Luos Perseus. Once you put it on, only people with special Gifts can detect you."

"The genuine article? You're giving it to me?"

This was the first gift she had ever received from a man other than her father.

What did he mean by this? Why was he giving me such a precious gift?

After last night's misunderstanding, Kasukabe Yō's mind was a little muddled.

Just as the saying went.

Girls in love had negative IQs.

"Yeah. You already have Griffin Treads the Void, so this helmet is perfect for you. There's also a pair of Flying Shoes for Kasukabe, for emergencies."

The moment he said that, Izayoi Sakamaki suddenly felt that something was off.

Kasukabe Yō was looking at him with teary eyes. "Izayoi, you womanizer! You scumbag!"

Then she hugged the Invisibility Helmet and left the library.

"???"

Izayoi Sakamaki had no idea what had happened. Had she cried because she was touched?

Suddenly, he felt something tugging at his pant leg. Looking down, he saw Kasukabe Yō's Calico Cat.

The Calico Cat climbed onto his shoulder and seemed to pat him comfortingly. "Meow. (Young man, don't rush. Some things need to be taken slowly.)"

Whether Izayoi Sakamaki understood or not, he went after the departing Kasukabe Yō.

Leaving Izayoi Sakamaki standing there with his head full of question marks.

Very soon, after connecting it with some of the things that had happened before, Izayoi Sakamaki understood what had happened.

He laughed helplessly and shook his head.

He had been too focused on reading those chaotic histories of Western Mythology just now to notice the change in Kasukabe Yō's emotions.

What a waste of a good opportunity.

But whatever. There would be plenty of opportunities. Missing this one did not matter.

He turned his attention back to the book in his hands and committed its contents to memory.

To survive in Hakoniwa, and to conquer the world, he needed to understand the abilities of those Asura God Buddhas.

After reading for a while, Izayoi Sakamaki boredly closed the book.

"Why are the books here just like the ones in my previous world? I thought they'd record all the abilities of the Asura God Buddhas."

Finding a place to sit, Izayoi Sakamaki immersed his mind in the Chat Group.

When things were this boring, only those ridiculous group members could add a little fun to his dull life.

Looking at the 99+ unread messages, he did not even know what to say about those lively group members.

Just as he opened the Chat Group, its notification sounded immediately afterward.

Activity level has met the requirement. New members are now invited to join the group.

Congratulations to Brunhilde for joining the Chat Group.

Congratulations to Gilgamesh for joining the Chat Group.

Interesting Game, About to Begin ### Human history, spanning seven million years, had finally reached its curtain call. It was not because of war, a planet crashing into Earth, or an alien invasion.

What humanity faced now was the judgment of the so-called creators—gods!

Valhalla Council.

Assembly Hall.

"Well then, everyone."

A gaunt old man lightly tapped the armrest of his chair with a small Wooden Mallet, his hollow eyes sweeping over all the Deities gathered there.

"It has been a thousand years since last time. Let us begin that discussion again."

This old man was none other than Zeus, the God King from Ancient Greek Mythology!

At this moment, he was also the chairman of this meeting.

"Oh? It's finally here?"

"That... Human Survival Conference!"

Tens of thousands of gods had gathered here, listening intently for the outcome of this meeting.

In a corner below the stage, a goddess with delicate features yet no lack of heroic spirit lightly pursed her lips as she watched the scene.

This goddess was named Brunhilde, also known as a Valkyrie. She was a female warrior of Norse mythology who specialized in selecting fallen human warriors to become heroic souls.

"Well then..."

Zeus spoke from the stage. "Regarding humanity's continuation over the next thousand years, shall we permit it, or grant them their end?"

"Let the will of the gods be revealed!"

As soon as Zeus finished speaking, quite a few gods raised signs of opposition.

Among the gods seated in the very front, Shiva casually raised two signs with both hands.

"Carry out the end. Look at what humanity has done to the world."

Upon hearing Shiva's words, the gods who had still been wavering immediately raised their X signs.

"Indeed. Not only have humans nearly destroyed the world, they do not seem to know how to repent at all."

"We might as well destroy them outright."

At this moment, the gods choosing to end humanity were in the overwhelming majority. The uniform X signs nearly filled the entire assembly hall.

As expected, the gods intend to destroy humanity.

Brunhilde thought to herself. Back when she had fallen on hard times in the human world, she had formed deep bonds with humans and witnessed humanity's brilliance.

She absolutely could not allow humanity to end like this!

But the creators' will could not be refuted.

She slowly closed her eyes.

"Since the majority have chosen humanity's end, then let humanity..."

"Welcome its end without the ability to resist!"

Zeus declared forcefully. Just as he raised his Wooden Mallet to deliver the final verdict—

Brunhilde opened her eyes, crossed through the gathered gods, and walked before Zeus.

"Please wait!"

Zeus's mallet stopped at her cry.

"My deepest apologies for disturbing the gods."

"Display the gods' mercy and divine might—grant humanity one final trial."

Brunhilde knelt on one knee. Even before the many God King-level gods, she showed no fear. "What do the gods think?"

"Oh? A war between humans and gods?"

"Isn't that Record of Ragnarok?"

"Humans defeating gods? Hahaha, how could that be possible?"

Many gods had heard of this game. It had originally been created as a set of rules to entertain the gods.

But now, it had become humanity's last lifeline.

"I see. Very interesting."

After a brief silence, Zeus stroked the giant dragon beside him, then stood up excitedly and looked at the gods below the stage.

"This is truly too interesting. It has been a long time since I wanted to witness it—the violence of the gods!"

With Zeus's approval, humanity's trial known as Record of Ragnarok officially began!

"Big Sister, does humanity really have any hope?"

In the long corridor, the youngest Valkyrie, Gray, asked her eldest sister Brunhilde.

"Yes, but it is very slim."

Brunhilde hesitated for a moment before giving the most objective answer.

"Then, Big Sister, you..."

"If I were to stand by and watch humanity die, I simply couldn't do it."

A trace of determination flashed through Brunhilde's eyes as she strode forward.

Ahead lay the Place of Heroic Souls where humanity's heroic souls slept—the Throne of Heroes!

Congratulations, you have joined the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.

At that moment, a strange electronic voice entered her mind.

Her steps paused slightly. Though she was only a demigod, for someone to invade her mind so easily, it would have to be a God King-level god. No one else could possibly do it.

Could it be that a god wanted to kill her because she had proposed Record of Ragnarok?

But Record of Ragnarok had only just begun. No god would be foolish enough to do something like that, would they?

After waiting quietly for quite some time and sensing no hostile intent from the voice, she became even more confused.

Following that voice, she saw a... Chat Group???

A Chat Group, like the kind humans used electronic devices to communicate remotely!

Brunhilde: "What exactly is going on?"

Gilgamesh: "Who dares drag this king into such a place?!"

Tony: "Oh ho? These newcomers don't look very easy to deal with."

Tsunade: "Your mouth might be foul, but Tony, how could you tell?"

Takanashi Rikka: "Brunhilde? Gilgamesh? They sound kind of familiar."

Minamiya Natsuki: "Brunhilde is a Valkyrie from Norse mythology who guides the dead, while Gilgamesh... should be that oldest king, right?"

Esdeath: "Oh? A king, huh?"

Tony: "A turtle? Pfft, hahahaha! Are you trying to make me laugh to death so you can inherit my Stark Industries?"

Brunhilde: "May I ask, where is this place?"

Izayoi Sakamaki: "It's this time again. What a pain."

Seeing the newcomers ask this question again, Izayoi Sakamaki felt somewhat annoyed and directly contacted the Chat Group in his mind.

Chat Group, can you send some information directly into the minds of every newcomer who joins the group?

Yes. Please compose the information.
