The whole room was silent.
Everyone had played the game for nearly four years now. The vast majority of them never missed out on any hours of gameplay each night, and Mages who had been able to keep playing until now were all well-informed players with a deep understanding of the game, or enough knowledge of the world.
What was the concept of gods in this world?
Not to mention the coalition of gods during the exploration stages of the game, the descent of the archangel later on, and the Goddess of Light's descent some time ago, these were enough to prove that the gods in this world not only existed but were also very active.
They influenced the world with their power at every turn.
Although players clamored every day that they decided their fates and that gods were just a more powerful creature and so on, they still revered the gods to a degree.
It was like the reverence for the supreme leader of a nation.
