Also, anyone else have the sneaking suspicion that Diina might be the Avatar of the Goddess? After all, if it's playing around with the lives of that world is what she likes doing, what better place could you be than the one at the center of it all? Especially since said person can also be her downfall, so why not keep a very close eye on her?
As for Diina having knowledge about the original world the current Lufasu came from. She's a goddess and brought him into her body. Of course she'd know about the original world. Or maybe both are true. Maybe the goddess isn't just a beta tester, but an admin. Heck admins are basically gods of game worlds anyway.
That's what I'm thinking as well, but wait a moment on the beta testing. If it was such wouldn't there have been more then a "handful" as she let on and normally they'd have banded together from the start plus let's not leave out the fact her race is a half race plus she was able to become part of the demon's top group?
We're missing the right jigsaw piece for this or she's the avatar [erm... not in the same sense... let's go with puppet?].
Moving on to the recent chapters you did notice when the demon king was explaining Dina just goes and interrupts and removed Lufasu from the conversation even though they stopped fighting. Red flag there and another flag went up when she told the demon king that it wasn't her who made Lufasu weaker but maybe the goddess.
If Dina wasn't the "puppet" then there'd be no reason for her to be there. She had been invading in on Lufasu's journey since what chapter one? Or was it two? Either way since the near start. The enemy can always be the one you least expect, standing right next to you with all the information that can take you down.
Which I'm hoping she didn't peep in on the conversation about the dragons. Because she acted like she didn't know what the "Goddess Scenario" was when she was already peeping earlier when the demon king was talking about it to Lufasu.
= ,= I just don't trust Dina and until the story leads me to believe otherwise she's still evil...
I like how the story started out as a fairly standard isekai story. But it slowly started ramping up the drama more and more. The story is becoming pretty interesting now. Also nice that the author doesn't shy away from the more greusome parts of such a story, not everything just being peachy and every conflict resulting in everyone moving on with a smile.
