I Became the Goddess of a New World

After finishing the Twisted World Tree Raid, changes occur in Elderheim.

The changes in the monsters appearing in the hunting grounds and dungeons of Elderheim.

No more Dark Elves or corrupted spirits will be encountered.

Instead, remnants of the Salvation Church forces of a higher rank will emerge.

Naturally, the level of the newly appearing Salvation Church monsters will be over level 80.

It has been designed so that if you don’t clear the Twisted World Tree Raid, growth beyond level 80 will be difficult.

The reason for this is simple.

If players don’t challenge appropriate levels,

They could endlessly increase their specs and steamroll the raid.

A similar design had existed during the Elder Lich Raid.

Having confirmed that such a design had worked favorably once,

There was no reason to stop using this method.

“…It’s not entirely without problems.”

I had been closely monitoring a certain indicator through the Creator’s authority for a long time.

Bus.

The act of hiring a high-spec user with money and getting carried through.

In dungeons and hunting grounds, and more broadly, even in boss raids.

Ever since the Elder Lich Raid was launched, the frequency of buses had been increasing day by day.

It reached a level that could no longer be ignored.

‘If the bus operates solely with in-game currency, it wouldn’t matter much.’

Even if we continually sanctioned and managed the rice-eating and the workplaces,

The game and the real-world market are intricately linked.

Thus, cash transactions kept reappearing no matter how many times we tried to eliminate them.

Buses were no exception.

Buses could not operate solely on in-game currency.

The in-game currency received as payment ultimately got used in cash transactions.

In the end, real-world money had a significant impact on virtual reality.

‘Is the speculation hall doing well?’

The position of the Level Republic had already spread throughout the community.

Some users had already left reviews about the speculation hall content.

I’m going ahead first.

Isn’t this a bait for hate memes?

ㄴ Amazingly, it’s a new area.

ㄴ What the hell is the armband doing?

ㄴ Go do the Tiananmen Square thing, damn it.

ㄴ (Armband) It’s a bait related to Akare, so I can’t meme…

ㄴ Oh my god, damn!

ㄴ lolololol

ㄴ Record Eye’s PC is fucking crazy, lol

ㄴ “I’ll let you know the PC.”

ㄴ You can smell the sweat from the picture;;

ㄴ The orc looks like he’d be great at NTR, lol

―――

Hmm.

I can see how that might be a bit strange.

But what can I do?

It’s not like I can just change the appearance of beastmen and orcs with a snap.

The person who left that review is the weird one, to begin with.

There are still plenty of female warriors scattered around the streets of the Level Republic.

Deliberately choosing to film only men is just abnormal.

Those without tolerance call beastmen furries,

But beastmen and furries belong to separate realms.

A beastman is a human body wrapped in animal skin,

Whereas a furry is an animal body wrapped in human skin.

The beastmen in the Level Republic are, quite literally, beastmen.

Aurora’s preference for furries and furry enthusiasts;

Seeing these slanders proliferate just makes my heart ache.

[Title] Compilation of Currently Discovered Speculation Hall Information

Basically, the speculation hall consists of 1v1 battles,
And there are three types of combat methods in the speculation hall:
Ranked matches and casual matches.

The above two methods have separate adjustments for the characters,
So they are unaffected by personal skill or equipment.
And it is said that balance adjustments are made for each class.

In short, it’s a pure physical fight.

The final combat method, ‘Spirit Battle,’ can be seen as an unadjusted version of Ranked matches.

Ranked matches provide rewards based on the rank at the end of the season,
While Spirit Battles give honor rewards instead of currency rewards.

(Special effect ‘Conqueror’ picture)

There’s no detailed information on special effects, so I have no idea what they are.

Seasons are said to progress every three months.

The weapon avatar is dope.

ㄴ I really want that hunter snake-patterned musket.

ㄴ Wouldn’t this mean warriors sweep the floor?

ㄴ They say there are adjustments for each class.

ㄴ Gotcha.

―――

The emergence of weapon avatars that didn’t exist before drew a lot of interest.

A large number of advance teams were undertaking the Twisted World Tree Raid.

Almost all users, except for them, gathered in the Level Republic.

‘There are really so many people.’

Currently, I was in the Level Republic as Pera.

My purpose for being here was, of course, the newly opened speculation hall.

I wanted to try it out from a user’s perspective instead of a developer’s.

‘It’s stifling.’

Ever since that day I broadcasted wearing a nun’s avatar,

More and more people recognized me, which was exhausting.

So I no longer wore the nun’s avatar.

I managed to get an old robe along with new Inquisitor gear.

Thanks to that, fewer people recognized me,

But the inherent discomfort of wearing full plate armor followed, and it was distracting since my robe kept falling down and blocking my view.

Still, I somehow succeeded in reaching the speculation hall.

As I was moved to the waiting room, a familiar holographic UI appeared.

Spirit Battle and Ranked Battle.

Ranked Battle was purely physical fighting,
While Spirit Battle emphasized character specs as well.

Separately, since no adjustments are applied in Spirit Battles,

PVP-specialized warriors would naturally have the advantage.

‘Gotta consider that.’

Warriors are good in PVP and serviceable in raids.

They were previously good in raids, but that was limited to early on.

Warriors were already facing challenges in PVE content compared to other classes.

So they needed to be treated well in PVP content for fairness’ sake.

And since balance issues could surface,

I deliberately structured the rewards for Spirit Battles to consist of honor rewards that don’t impact the game.

That way, even if issues arise, it won’t ignite strongly.

‘First, let’s check the matching.’

[Matching for Ranked Battle…]

Without hesitation, I chose Ranked Battle.

Currently, Pera’s specs were not even comparable to the advance teams.

‘I don’t even need honor rewards.’

Still, it was better to do the Ranked Battle that gives currency rewards at the end of the season.

[Matching has finished!]

As soon as the matching completed, the information of the opponent appeared.

The class was Cult, and since they had no previous record, it seemed they were in their placement match like me.

And their nickname was…

“…What?”

A familiar nickname entered my view.

[Moving to the Speculation Hall.]

The scenery around me changed in an instant.

***

Suzuka had been feeling very good these days.

First off, the Twisted World Tree Raid had ended.

She had successfully completed meetings and contracts related to the Twitch transfer.

Because of that, she had taken a few days off from streaming,

And recently, everything seemed to be going well for her.

Suzuka’s condition had reached its peak.

[Suzuka’s Stream! – Akashic Records]

“Is my stream drops working fine?”

Suzuka’s new home, Twitch.

As a global platform, various foreign languages filled the chat box.

However, foreign language chats were no longer an issue.

―――

It works [Translated]

Suzuka is cute [Translated]

Please recommend early hunting spots for Cult! [Translated]

Wow, real-time translation is amazing.

Looks like Suzuka is now a world-class player.

Top party member from Korea, Cult ??? [Translated]

It’s working ㅇㅇ.

―――

Real-time translation and interpretation.

Suzuka’s words were instantly translated into the viewers’ respective languages,

And the various languages that appeared in chat were also translated to match the viewers’ countries.

It was not just crossing borders, but transcending them entirely.

While many were curious about this amazing technology,

From the perspective of the streaming Suzuka, it didn’t matter much.

Ding-ding!

– Have you heard the news about the speculation hall, Suzuka?

―――

“Yes, I heard. I don’t particularly like PVP, but I guess I should at least try it once, right?”

She had already caught wind of the news regarding the Level Republic.

The region with the first PVP content, the speculation hall.

Of course, it was content that a streamer like her could not overlook.

Thus, as soon as Suzuka arrived in the Level Republic, she headed straight for the speculation hall.

“Ranked Battle… Spirit Battle…”

Ranked Battle had separate adjustments, giving it the appearance of equal competition at first glance,

But against someone with good physical stats, it was hard to win, no matter what tricks were employed.

In that regard, it was advantageous for Suzuka to engage in Spirit Battles.

Moreover, most of the advance teams were currently undertaking the Twisted World Tree Raid.

In other words, Spirit Battles were almost like empty houses now.

“I’ll go for Ranked Battle.”

However, easy things aren’t entertaining.

As a streamer, pursuing fun was natural,

So Suzuka went ahead and started matching for Ranked Battle.

And the first opponent she met was none other than…

“Pera?”

―――

Lololol

Is this a targeted attack?

Anyone know this person? [Translated]

Vicious targeted attack Menhera Crsare, oh no!

Does that mean the Inquisitor designation is activated?

I’ve run into the delinquent I’m responsible for.

―――

By coincidence or intention,

It didn’t matter much whether it was the former or the latter.

An Inquisitor matched up against a Cult?

It was an absolute mismatch that one couldn’t even win in the field.

The chance of winning in the limited space of the speculation hall?

Not merely slim but absolutely zero.

There was simply no chance.

“Uh, um, Pera?”

“…It’s been a while, Suzuka.”

Pera, having removed the old robe, stepped forward.

The imposing presence of the Inquisitor, clad in full plate, seemed dangerous.

Just brushing against that sharp armor felt like it could leave a scar.

“What a coincidence to see you here.”

“Coincidence?”

No.

You’re smiling, aren’t you?

And you call it a coincidence? A coincidence, you say?

It’s clear you targeted me on purpose!

“A malicious viewer cannot be forgiven.”

“That’s a good mindset.”

Suzuka immediately began the battle.

The Cult’s first awakening skill, Shadow’s Betrayal.

A simple skill that ensnares the target in shadows.

After using another first awakening skill, Whip of Betrayal,

Suzuka swung the whip at the entangled Pera with all her might.

“Your whip technique needs work.”

Pera, who had easily caught the whip moving at high speed, offered criticism.

“You need to move your wrist gently when whipping. Just swinging hard doesn’t put all your power into it.”

Using brilliant light, she dispelled the betrayed shadows,

Pera, now free, began approaching Suzuka.

“Also, when swinging, slightly extend your front leg to maintain balance. Above all, the coordination between arm and wrist is crucial.”

Testing the waters against Pera was futile.

Recognizing that fact, Suzuka took immediate action.

One of the Cult’s enlightenment skills.

An unrivaled Tier 1 skill, Capricious Nightmare.

An unpredictable nightmare engulfed the surrounding space.

“This part can only be improved through repetitive practice.”

“…Thanks for the advice.”

The Cult’s second awakening skill, Divine Possession.

A skill exclusive to high-ranking divine disciples within the second awakening category.

Moreover, the Capricious Nightmare updated Suzuka’s overall stats.

In an instant, an enormous stat difference emerged between Suzuka and Pera.

And now, while Pera was relaxed,

It was a golden opportunity to win; the only timing she would get.

Even believing that, and pouring all her strength into it, Suzuka thought…

“Such a shame.”

The Church’s brand was stamped onto Suzuka’s body.

The designation of the Inquisitor.

And then came the Sanctification.

Pera, enveloped in the aura of light, resembled a god descending to the mortal world.

“Assuming your opponent isn’t an Inquisitor, that was a wise decision.”

Immediately, Suzuka made a decision to flee.

Facing an Inquisitor using Sanctification head-on was suicidal.

She needed to at least prolong the cooldown of Capricious Nightmare.

But among the Inquisitors, there were no defectors who survived after turning their backs.

Before she knew it, Pera had caught up right behind her and passed her judgment.

“May you be sanctified.”

The sentence of death was declared.
