’Snow Cloud Peak’ absolutely refuses to admit that it’s because of his past misdeeds that he ended up with Aesces.

He firmly believes it’s because he accepted the nickname originally given by his enemies amid the endless harassment from the Proud Sky Alliance guys... Back when he first entered the game world, he was still the tough warrior codenamed ’Snow Wolf’!

What on earth has happened over the decades that not only anyone can call him ’Old Dog’ without feeling offended, even when enemies curse him, he doesn’t feel that it’s an insult.

Because of this, he encountered Aesces, this real dog!

’Snow Cloud Peak’ let out a painful moan... With so many dogs, why does it have to be a Husky?

He’s even willing to accept a Teddy... Ah!

Wait, that’s not okay.

He looked up at the sky and suddenly realized the common attributes between the Greek Gods and Teddies, cautiously excluding this type of dog from his defense range.

Then he felt the vibration of the tablet in his hand.

An endless stream of ’why’s officially came online, and he had to solve it before dawn.

-----------------

’Snow Cloud Peak’ flipped off the sofa at dawn... Leaving only a pair of twitching feet on the seat.

He had almost forgotten this feeling of helplessness, getting more tired the more he spoke, cursing loudly yet to no avail, until finally wanting to hit someone but lacking the strength to utter insults!

Fortunately, in this world, there was still a truly kind little angel willing to lend a helping hand... Although it came a little late, pulling away that babbling World Master only when he had gone mad to a certain extent.

Damn it, he would never run his mouth again when asking Hill for help!

He swore on his own personality!

Because he wisely chose a method only he could hear... not saying it aloud, so Hill, unaware that someone dared to swear on something completely nonexistent, didn’t throw a boomerang.

Otherwise, just as long as Aesces hadn’t appeared beside him before, giving him a question meant to ask ’Snow Cloud Peak’... Aesces definitely could have come up with more question marks.

Taking the stack of maps Aesces delivered into his hands, Hill couldn’t help but tap them with one hand against his other: "So, what do you want to know?"

"I just want to know the reason for choosing here, why are there volcanoes only on this side while all on the other are excluded?

Why?"

Hill froze for a few seconds, turning to stare at the small black orb: "Do you even need to ask?"

"What do you mean?"

"A volcano that has just erupted, can’t you feel if it has any issues?" Hill couldn’t help but stand up, eyes widened asking him, "Could it be that Snow Cloud Peak felt too embarrassed to ask if you don’t even have control over underwater volcanoes, and that’s why they’ve been struggling with you for so long?

Wasn’t he always saying that you’d understand if you just scanned once, right?"

That’s an instinct of the God of the Earth, even Hill, merely possessing the Earth attribute, cannot ignore this feeling!

As the World Master, Aesces must have felt even more.

The erupting magma would directly convey everything to him.

He actually asked such a question... Could it be, why didn’t ’Snow Cloud Peak’ open his mouth to curse on the spot?

Not knowing that ’Snow Cloud Peak’ lost the strength to curse due to over-explaining and increasingly muddled speech, Hill was a bit confused.

"Ah... I was just thinking of logical deduction." Aesces spoke with a particularly innocent tone, "I just wanted to know how he made the judgment...

Turns out it was considering my perception!"

"No, where did you learn deduction from?" Hill felt like he’d heard an incredible word.

"Ismael used to enjoy playing such deduction games." Aesces explained, "I watched him play happily, but as for humans~ you know, I can directly deduce outcomes without reasoning, so I couldn’t play at all.

Now, seeing as I’m almost in an unbeatable position, I kind of have an urge to learn again."

Hill couldn’t help but press his finger against his forehead: "Humans due to helplessness have to navigate multiple conspiracies, which is why deduction was invented.

But deduction, this thing, must fully utilize all the information you can collect before you can begin to speculate.

And you, as the World Master, shouldn’t you be the source of information?

’Snow Cloud Peak’ really is too polite to not curse you, isn’t this what you’re supposed to do!

Why ask him first without even taking a look?"

"Oh..." Aesces swiftly moved, and the active volcanoes on the maps quickly disappeared, "No problem."

"Triton is not dumb." Hill calmly replied to him.

"Wait... don’t tell me you’re saying I’m the dumb one?" Aesces suddenly got excited, bouncing in the air, "Eh hey~ but I just heard the Undead Tribe chatting, I know the hidden meaning of this phrase!

Oh right, you were also listening."

Hill felt he saw two glimpses of figures flashing by the side window... One tall as List, the shorter one as Purwell... Probably both came to admire what form the World Master with that incredible dumb aura really takes.

Then he spoke slowly: "Indeed, you’re definitely stronger than Battlefield Lightening."

Ha~ A Tibetan Mastiff’s intelligence is no match for a Husky!

Without giving Aesces time to react, Hill quickly changed the topic: "Can’t your deduction game play reverse deduction after everything ends?

Snow Cloud Peak still needs to arrange the departure time and place for the Undead Tribe!

Hmm?!

You... are quite infuriating indeed!"

"Why the sudden irritability?" Aesces asked bewilderedly.

"The map they gave you clearly marked... you need to scan the active volcanoes yourself!" Hill couldn’t help but let out a hearty laugh, "It seems that at first, Snow Cloud Peak didn’t understand what you were asking, which is why he explained so politely.

When he realized you hadn’t even finished reading the words on the map before asking randomly, he probably had not even the strength left to curse.

You really are... even being a deity ended up like you?

That big of characters, you can’t comprehend?

The Undead Tribe certainly wouldn’t write themselves, but used spell text built into the tablet, and then used a copying-type spell to transcribe directly, making it impossible for anyone not to understand.

Unless they can’t read!

"Ah... ah?" Aesces uttered two completely meaningless syllables before lightly dissipating in the wind, "I’ll go now... I have to scan before their departure, right?"

"Sir." List appeared behind Hill, "I don’t know why, but I always feel like I saw Oriana." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Eh?" Hill, feeling a bit drained, lightly waved his hand, "Don’t say that.

Oriana is so adorable!

Our Little Bear is at most a rascal, definitely not that... self-serving."

List couldn’t help but blink: if not for his core’s strong storage capacity, retaining all kinds of memories perfectly, he might have believed Hill.

Has Hill been away from the Earth Bear’s homeland so long that he has forgotten the memories of once chasing down Little Bears into the cosmic storm everywhere to bring them home?

The Earth Deity System, in some aspects, indeed shares commonality.

For example, selectively hearing people speak.

Including Hill himself.

-----------------

Aesces’ desert and ocean once again plunged into a great decisive battle atmosphere.

The Undead Tribe clearly understands that these seven days are their last opportunity to earn more military exploits before the grand finale, so they are fiercely competitive.

The Beastmen in the desert... no need to mention.

Having accepted the protection mission, yet realizing their own leader won’t allow them to defy the Lord of Hell’s prestige, nor permit them the option to flee, they just wish to safeguard the lives of the strongest Beastmen.

Fortunately, the Undead tribe has not yet grown so powerful that makes them feel they can only flee without fighting.

Or rather, those higher intelligence Higher Orcs believe they can hold out until automatically returning home on the seventh day before their useless subordinates perish.

Especially, those few Orc Leaders with decision-making power, all watching from the Rainbow Bridge... The biggest flaw of the Orc Priest as a leader is in this.

He is absolutely unable to personally choose any decision inclined towards surrender.

In the Beastmen’s world, once the mind wavers even slightly, the Priest will instantly lose all of Gewoosh’s favor, unable to use any magic.

Anyway, it’s not him dying, considering the Beastmen’s attributes, they will definitely persist till the end.

And losing the Goddess of the Sea, and having no Gaia controlling from behind the scenes, those Sea Monsters who have realized it’s the end of the world for them, despair on the last hurrah... taking away every living being they can see.
