[Full manuscript completed in advance...]
If the gods do not love humanity...
People suddenly discovered an app on their phones called Gods' Game Live.
It couldn't be uninstalled or opened.
Some people were afraid, while others were excited.
Then one day,
A transparent barrier covered the skies above the city,
And a malicious voice rang in everyone's ears.
Only then did everyone realize that a nightmare was about to begin...
"Welcome to the Divine Game."
"Selecting cities..."
"Congratulations to Bin City in Donghua District and Ying City in Songyan District, Eastern Continent... You have been selected as cities chosen by the gods."
"Selecting players..."
"Player selection complete."
"Now, please begin entertaining the gods."
This was a game you could only win, never lose.
The victors would gain resources, upgrade their supernatural abilities, and strengthen their nations;
The losers would face punishment, with natural and man-made disasters killing and injuring millions.
Every player who entered the game would receive a basic supernatural ability.
These abilities were usually related to the last thing they had touched before entering the game.
An office worker about to walk through a doorway gained the power to transmigrate through space.
A homebody lying flat in bed gained the power of absolute defense.
A middle-aged pig castrator who had defused countless bombs gained the power to attack.
And Jiu An, who just a second ago had been running a stall at the night market selling takoyaki, looked at the octopus in her hand, which she'd been about to chop up for ingredients.
"My righteous little buddy, are you ready to save the world with me?"
