Right up until the day the Divine Ga began, Rita used Flower of Deceit every day to turn gear she fard from Dawn dungeons into golden apples and eat them. She rotated cooldown tricks using potions and an owl accessory, letting her swallow seven to nine golden apples a day.
The stats from those items were nowhere near Dawn Cicada’s Vine, but this kind of growth was still far faster than sneaking around Lania Kaia as a thief.
The familiar Divine Ga entry window opened in front of her.
For an Abyss tier player, entering the Divine Ga required thirty unrestricted World Graveyard. Just like Nightmare tier, it also required one World Graveyard from the player’s origin world. Since Rita had a gacha machine, she tossed in a White Dragon token.
After paying the entry cost, she only had nine spare non Mahjong World Graveyard left.
Welco BS Star Player Rita to the world battlefield.

Awakened Player Relic does not occupy unlock slots and may be used under Divine Ga rules.
Rita selected Midnight Exile and Bedti Tale out of habit. For the remaining skill slots, she prioritized always on utilities like Send the Link and Family Bucket, plus staples like Repay. Anything that conserved her ultimate was worth it.
And the unlimited use clause for Player Relic saved her several precious skill slots.
But her attention was not on the familiar nus. It was on the environnt around her.
Unlike previous gas where she spawned in a starter room, she was still in her own bedroom.
Only, it was not quite the sa. The master bedroom and study had been rged, and the space connected to a living room and kitchen. It was as if soone had disassembled her ho and rebuilt it here at full scale, creating a small apartnt ant for her daily life.
She slid open the floor to ceiling window and stepped onto the balcony.
Outside was the river of ti itself.
And above, below, left, and right were identical open balconies, each less than a ter apart.
She was standing on a massive cruise ship.
A player to her right stepped out to look around as well. Rita followed the sound, and her gaze collided with Maple Syrup.
In the next second, Rita turned and ran back inside without hesitation.
This balcony was open and the distance was ridiculous. What if Maple Syrup just reached over and hit her?
She had not even closed the window when Maple Syrup’s slightly hoarse shout cut over.
Do not let catch you outside the ga.
Rita paused mid motion. She opened the window again, leaving a narrow gap, and leaned her head sideways through it to look at Maple Syrup.
Maple Syrup raised an eyebrow. Her expression held surprise and confusion.
She looked over without speaking, but the command in her eyes was obvious.
Rita said, Like I am going to talk just because you want to.
She had spoken in BS language, but the mont the words left her mouth, they beca Binast.
So this ga had deliberately removed language barriers.
The last ti that happened was Card Swap.
Did that an this ga might not use the usual rules that triggered divine punishnt, replacing them with other chanics designed to close the gap between high and low combat players?
As she was thinking, movent ca from the room on her left.
Maple Syrup, who saw it first, frowned instantly, then her eyes flickered with a strange smile.
Rita felt a bad chill. Still bent forward, she slowly turned her head.
And t the gaze of Dawn Cicada, who was looking down at her with cold contempt.
The mont their eyes t, a skill soaked in heavy floral fragrance shot straight at her.
Almost at the sa ti, the world dimd for a heartbeat and Nebula Bubble flared open around Rita.
But the mont the attack reached her balcony, it lost its intended damage. The petal shockwave scattered into a rain of flowers that drifted onto the railing and floor.
Rita sighed and shook her head. Just like Sister SmokeTune said.
Then she ran.
The line was a clean kill. Dawn Cicada’s face turned pale with fury.
Dawn Cicada’s gaze slid slowly to Maple Syrup.
Just wait.
After dropping that threat, she turned and left in one smooth motion.
Maple Syrup: ...?
Overhead, Fat Goose’s voice broke in, sounding like she was losing her mind.
Mute was right. We are just one more flirting step between Dawn and BS.
Maple Syrup looked up at Fat Goose, who lived on the deck above her. Then she glanced around and realized there were a lot of familiar faces.
The most familiar of all was Pine Bloom, living directly below BS Rita, neck craned upward to watch the show.
Maple Syrup laughed in disbelief. She rested her arms on the balcony railing and called down to Pine Bloom.
So what did she give you? What did you get?
Maple Syrup looked like she would genuinely be angry without an answer, but Pine Bloom could not exactly say there was a throne in BS waiting for her.
She thought for a mont, then said, If she dies, I can inherit everything she has.
Maple Syrup frowned. That is not as much as Mistblade got.
Pine Bloom replied, Oh. Mistblade and Snowfield are included in that inheritance too. Once I beco Adjudicator, wouldn’t everything in BS be mine anyway?
Mistblade, who lived next door to Dawn Cicada: ???
Maple Syrup, Fat Goose, and a whole crowd of players eavesdropping: ???
Rita, pressed to the window and listening: ???
