Chapter 180: Dice of the Gods
🕑 Added 2026-01-31 17:43:23 +0000 UTCWhile Lilis was watching the video, Yuki had also finished arranging things with Alpha and the others.
He customized training plans for Alpha and instructed them to follow the plans to train other members of the Omnipotent Court.
After instructing Elisabeth to take good care of the Omnipotent Court, he had them all withdraw.
Though hearing Yuki was leaving left them all somewhat disappointed, they still obeyed Yuki's words without question.
Before withdrawing, Elisabeth approached Yuki, nestled into his arms, gently pecked his face a few times, then looked at him with seductive eyes, speaking in an elegant tone:
"Darling, you mustn't forget me, okay?"
"You must come back to see me from time to time."
"Don't worry! How could I possibly forget someone as beautiful as you?"
"I'll definitely come back to cherish you more often!"
Yuki slightly nodded, quietly pinching Elisabeth's rear, causing her to blush and her heart to race.
"Stop it, you!"
Elisabeth quickly jumped away, whined coquettishly once, then led the others out of the room.
Only Yuki and Akane remained.
Akane didn't mind Elisabeth's earlier behavior. After all, if Elisabeth's temptation of Yuki made him return more often, it would benefit her too.
"Yuki-kun, what level is the Supreme God in that newcomer Lilis's world?"
"You should be able to observe it, right?"
Akane then sat beside Yuki, leaning on his shoulder as she asked.
She naturally wouldn't miss this chance to get closer to Yuki.
Seeing this, Yuki naturally wrapped his arm around Akane's slender waist and gently nodded.
The moment he heard the title "Sword Saintess," Yuki already knew which world she came from.
Goblin Slayer—a world filled with disgusting goblins.
This world differs from traditional Isekai narratives that unfold from the perspective of a classic Hero's hot-blooded adventure.
Instead, it tells the story of adventurers, apart from the Hero who challenges the Demon King, engaging in wits and battles with weak goblins.
The story follows an adventurer solely dedicated to hunting goblins, constantly hunting them and encountering various distinctive types of goblins.
By thwarting the goblins' schemes, he indirectly influences the struggle between the Hero and the Demon King.
In this world, the notoriously weak goblins can even prove troublesome for Platinum-ranked adventurers.
It could be said that goblins received an epic buff in this world.
And the reason for this is inseparable from the Dice of the Gods in this world.
To vie for dominance over the world, the gods chose not to fight each other to the death. Instead, they opted for a gentler method: using dice throws to determine the outcome of all events, characters, and fates.
Because of the intervention of the gods' dice, sometimes a powerful adventurer party might fail catastrophically against a group of weak goblins at a crucial moment.
The reason? The dice thrown for the adventurers' side yielded a roll lower than that of the goblins' side!
Using the world as a chessboard and all living beings as pieces.
Yuki then explained this information to Akane.
After hearing it, Akane couldn't help but feel a shudder.
"The fate of lives in that world is actually in the hands of gods, and through something as absurd as dice throws?!"
Akane looked utterly incredulous, simultaneously terrified by the implications.
"Could it be that my..."
Before she could finish, Yuki interrupted.
"You're overthinking it. Our world doesn't have gods manipulating fate, nor such absurd methods as dice throwing."
Yuki shook his head, giving Akane a reassuring look.
Receiving Yuki's response, although somewhat reassured, Akane still showed a hint of concern in her eyes.
Seeing this, Yuki took out an Infinity Gem necklace and placed it in her hand, explaining how to use it.
Now fully armed, Akane no longer needed to worry about anything.
At that moment, Lilis in the chat group finally spoke again.
[Lilis]: This... what kind of immense power is this?! It's too shocking!
After watching the entire recordings of Yuki battling Thanos and Yuki saving the myriad worlds, Lilis's worldview was thoroughly overturned.
The Supreme God she had always proudly believed in probably didn't amount to much before this group owner.
[Artemis]: Now you understand the gap, right? The Supreme God of your world probably couldn't withstand a single finger from Yuki-kun!
[Lilis]: ....
Though reluctant to admit it, based on the strength Yuki displayed in the recordings—where even the shockwaves of his battle shattered entire worlds, with endless universes destroyed under the impact—this terrifying destructive power alone made her feel fear.
Facing such attacks, she highly doubted the Supreme God she believed in could put up a fight.
[Lilis]: Although I've never seen the Supreme God... Mr. Yuki's strength has truly opened my eyes!
[Saeko Busujima]: It's like that at first. After interacting more, you'll gradually get used to it! And Yuki is easy to get along with, so no need to be reserved!
[Dongfang Huaizhu]: Right! Let's talk about something else!
[Seitenshi]: Speaking of which, Miss Lilis, since you believe in the god of your world, are you from the Church?
[Lilis]: Mhm! You could say that. I belong to the Temple of Law. Currently, I serve as a Priestess, active as an adventurer with four teammates.
[Akane Nishino]: Huh? An adventurer? Does that mean Lilis's world is an Isekai?!
[Lilis]: Isekai?! What do you mean?
[Akane Nishino]: Uh... I guess we need to explain the concept of Isekai and the Modern World!
Akane then explained the concept of Isekai, casually sharing the information about the gods in Lilis's world that she learned from Yuki.
After hearing it, Lilis's mind experienced a considerable impact, stirring up monstrous waves.
She hadn't expected the gods of her world to determine mortal fate through dice-throwing.
In the unseen realm, every action, every event's outcome was determined by dice rolls.
This made her feel a chill down her spine.
With everything being manipulated, and every decision she made influenced by dice, she couldn't help but wonder whether certain decisions came from her own will or the gods' dice.
Lilis's sapphire-blue eyes looked toward the void, her body trembling slightly, a flicker of fear deep in her eyes.
Facing something intangible, unseen, yet subtly influencing her like this, how could she not feel fear?
She even began to doubt whether she was truly 'herself.'
[Saeko Busujima]: Dice-throwing, chessboard, pieces... This reminds me of a tabletop game called DND.
[Akane Nishino]: Right! Saeko-sis! I thought of that too.
[Artemis]: What's DND?
[Galacta]: DND is a tabletop role-playing game...
Galacta then explained DND for group members who didn't know.
Everyone suddenly realized.
So-called gods were actually similar to players in DND.
They manipulate pieces, throw dice, to determine their pieces' actions.
