As the Dust Settles

Aojo suddenly realized that the humans' assault was slowing down.

Unaware that the Players could communicate with each other in real-time and merely feeling that the attacks throw at itself was becoming milder, the evil god naturally assumed that the battle had gone on for too long—that the toll had exceeded what the mortal believers could take and that they couldn't maintain the same intensity of attack before.

The truth, however, was that Edward put together a plan which he described to his group, gaining their approval before sharing every step in the plan on the Player forums.

With that, the other Players all began to do as instructed, even guiding the believers from other churches to follow suit.

After all, their excellent performances in the Twin City Cup and how they held themselves against the Abomination in this very battle had more or less granted them a stature to command the other believers.
