Overgeared

At the time when the followers of the Martial God spread the word about Zeratul's descent, people naturally imagined terrible things. They thought of Reinhardt and the Overgeared World collapsing. Yet now—

Reinhardt was fine. Only the huge stage in the central square was damaged and barely maintained the form of a 'coffin.' Otherwise, the tranquil and beautiful scenery of the Overgeared World in the center of the city was the same as usual. No… gradually, things started to change.

The range of the orange divinity coloring the Overgeared World was expanding like it was going to dye the whole city. It was proof that the Overgeared World was growing.

"Is this the victory reward for Grid…? In particular, there are rumors that the buffs that the gods get from the Overgeared World are amazing. So it is correct to say that the more the domain of the Overgeared World expands, the stronger Grid becomes, right?"

"Even that would only be a fraction of the reward."

Grid fought and won against the Martial God, proving that items had the upper hand over the Martial God's passed down martial arts. Rewards that would be unimaginable for ordinary players would be floating in front of him.

In fact, Grid was staring into empty air. It was even in the tumultuous situation of being surrounded by the 10 meritorious retainers and the apostles. He seemed to be focusing on something invisible except when exchanging looks with Yura, Jishuka, Irene, Mercedes, and Basara. It meant there were so many rewards it would take time for him to see and understand them all.

"In any case, it went really well. Due to this, the perception that the surface is safe will take root in people. Thank you, Grid."

The Great Human and Demon War was the worst war in history. There were too many casualties and the desperate fact that death didn't mean rest for humans was revealed. People tried not to express themselves, but they were always anxious.

This was the story for NPCs.

Players could enjoy every situation in their own way, but NPCs were different. Their numbers were greatly reduced and their efficiency in all fields had decreased. The streets were less energized and the effects of the economy shrinking was quickly felt. The quest incidence and fertility rate went in a downward curve like never before. Some people even analyzed that in a few decades, Satisfy would become a world where only humans existed, just like Earth.

Then today, Grid proved the stability of the surface. The anxiety of those who were nervous about not knowing when the demons of hell and the heavenly gods would invade again was resolved.

There were only two tasks left—it was to correct the distorted laws of hell, and to become independent of heaven.

"Look at those little pigs with their feet on fire. All their arrangements to make Asgard a trading partner have become pointless, so they have to be nervous."

"I think it is a bit too much to blame the merchants. The reason they wanted to interact with heaven is to make the relationship between humans and the gods more familiar. They tried to contribute to the peace of the world in their own way.

"That is just incidental. Why do you defend those who are blinded by money?"

In Reinhardt, people and wealth gathered. It naturally had to continue to expand. There was no city larger than Reinhardt on the West Continent and East Continent. The sound of people talking filled the city. The whole area was buzzing.

"Grid's high speed combat is amazing no matter how I look at it. Experts say that it is a pace that even veteran air force pilots can't handle. How can the ordinary Grid handle it?"

"If a transcendent being enters a state of battle, do they enter a separate server? Grid moves as usual, but it is recognized as quick when observed from the outside."

"I don't think so. Rankers often testify that their visual acuity, agility, and cognitive ability have improved even in real life. In my opinion, the system has evolved the players by slowly releasing the limit on the player's brain. The ultimate example of this is Grid."

Was it the 'transcendence' that some media outlets were talking about? Some people reacted like they were bored with the speculation of their colleagues while others were interested.
