Chapter 960: Chapter 17: The Hero (Being) on the Offensive_2

Just like a domino effect, when he pushed over the first domino, the rest began to fall in sequence as well.

The Holy Relic Stone Tablet returned by Gu Mo became this first domino, which then set off a chain reaction, integrating related elements into it, and transformed into a fate-like path, intricately interwoven, forging a resolute and unwavering new trajectory of destiny.

"As expected..."

Gu Mo gently nodded, finding that, as he anticipated, Kusanagi Hikotou’s fate underwent rapid and significant change almost immediately after reclaiming the stone tablet.

The essence of the undefeated War God is self-evident, a being born from the desire to vanquish enemies, a glorious and magnificent War God, an eternal Wild Soul whose nature is battle itself... such is the way of the War God.

He delights in observing battles and competitions and appreciates the valor among people.

The approach to pleasing him is simple; aside from actual warfare, sporting competitions are also within this scope.

Following this, the War God seemingly was driven by fate to travel across the ocean, and just at that moment, Kusanagi Hikotou appeared to have rekindled his passion, preparing to return to the baseball field... It’s strikingly similar, just like the original storyline, the encounter with the god began with a match.

——Starting from mutual recognition, gaining the War God’s admiration and receiving his blessing...

——And then, through the Holy Relic Stone Tablet, an accidental theft of a portion of the War God’s divine power occurred; yet the War God, due to their brief friendship, refrained from imposing punishment and even generously did not reclaim the divine power...

——Ultimately, everything intertwined, weaving a grand and tumultuous fate, the paradoxical undefeated War God being defeated by the divine power he had not retracted at the crucial moment, and could only clap his hands and laugh, cheerful at having gained another nemesis...

Incorporating the most probable future world line into view, Gu Mo quietly observed the inexorable progress of the historical torrent, feeling inexplicably as if the entire world was fostering this correction, propelling everything to develop in this direction...

Not knowing where it might lead.

...

...

Time hastily passed.

It wasn’t like time flew as fast as an arrow or swift as a shuttle, but nonetheless, more than half a month had indeed passed.

Within this ten or so days, the magical and heroic sides from the Otherworld both showed exceptional progress. They exhibited remarkably strong learning abilities, piecing together fragmented languages and each finding ways to complete their identity information as much as possible...

Moreover, both found jobs.

During this process, what presented an astonishing similarity was the Demon King finding a job at McDonald’s, while Miss Brave ended up working as customer service at a telecom company.

Thinking about it, although both quickly learned the local language and secured formal identities, relevant professional skills and work experience were something they couldn’t shortcut, so targeting positions that did not require work experience was their only option.

Thus, the range of options they had was inherently limited—

Submissively following the inertia of fate seems to be inevitable.

On this day.

Somewhat distracted while walking on the road, a girl with long rose-colored hair had just finished her day’s work, she tiredly extended her slender fingers, gently massaging her temples, walking wobbly...

After all, working as customer service at a telecom company wasn’t regarded as a good job.

Various types of customers naturally bring a variety of emotions and negative stress.

Impatient individuals, those who begin with abusive words, and others speaking in a domineering and unreasonable manner, as well as various oddities list too extensive to account for...

Initially, Miss Brave rejoiced, thinking this Otherworld was too good, with such an easy job, just sending messages and chatting, answering questions, could hardly be easier.

However, after half a month as customer service...

The girl felt her nerves were stretched to their limits, daily hovering on the brink of recklessness, feeling her palms tremble each time the phone rang, sometimes even tempted to lift the Holy Sword and teach reason to others, hoping they’d listen!

After a day, her blood pressure was like riding a rollercoaster...

Finally persevering until the end of the day, she felt worn out...

"Amilia?"

Until abruptly hearing someone call her name, she took a full tenth of a second to suddenly respond, instinctively looking towards the voice while preparing her defense.

"What’s wrong? You seem to be in bad shape... Haven’t rested well?"

The young man across looked a bit puzzled at her reaction, appearing not to understand.

It’s the landlord!

Oh, right, she hadn’t thought clearly when renting, directly stating her real name... In this world, indeed only he would know her name.

Amilia immediately felt reassured, realizing instantly what was happening, she let out a long breath. Gaze affixed to the youth opposite her, she endeavored to muster a smile, albeit a weak one: "It’s Mr. Gu Mo, I’m fine... Where are you headed?"

"There’s a baseball match here today, I’m going to watch..." Gu Mo frankly replied, which was indeed his main aim today.

At least on the surface.

"A baseball match... Sounds lively indeed."

Miss Brave glanced in the direction, seemingly there was indeed a baseball stadium there, involuntarily pulling at the corners of her mouth.

Despite being in this world less than a month, she had already fallen into the state of a corporate slave, feeling exhausted the moment she finished work daily, naturally unable to persist in physical exercises.

"Indeed, would you like to come along..."

Gu Mo’s lips slightly curved upwards, inviting her with a hint of mischievousness.

This wasn’t a coincidence but rather guiding Miss Brave toward engaging with another facet of this world. Besides humor, he was somewhat worried about her condition, just as with the Demon King, seemed to have become dulled by the corporate grind...

Exhausted at work, unwilling to move after hours...

Under such circumstances, how could they adhere to their ambitious pursuits? Gu Mo suspected if he didn’t give them a push, they wouldn’t advance the main lines even a year later...

"No, I won’t go, I’ve got some things today..."

Amilia maintained her smile, gently shaking her head, politely declining.

However, before she finished speaking, she froze suddenly, as she seemed to sense the fluctuation of Magic Power—right at the baseball field ahead!
