Chapter 116: The Gift from the Ascended

The God of Death took the championship!

Everyone thought Gou had intentionally thrown the match to the God of Death. But only Gou knew that, during the finals, the God of Death had been playing haphazardly without a care, and ended up so disoriented that he couldn't find his bearings.
