Rita's lantern floated over and absorbed the strand of blue fla into itself. She waited.
Not for Extra Chapter Rita to run out of ti and disappear. She never relied on sothing that uncertain. If she could lock soul fire to permanently store a tiline, who's to say QM Rita couldn't do the sa and keep Extra Chapter Rita alive until death?
Her gaze swept across the battlefield again and again.
QM Rita asked, "What are you looking for?"
Extra Chapter Rita replied, "Checking if anyone on our side has died. One of my Wildfire Reignite phase two conditions is that three allies die. Once that happens, I can burst."
Feeling the faint resentnt from more than a dozen gazes around her, and even the attention drifting down from the gods above, Rita felt a headache coming.
"…This is Starsea camaraderie. What do you know?"
What an annoying skill. Nothing could be hidden.
QM Rita said with a hint of regret, "You set the number a bit too high. Quiet Mountain won't die that fast."
Extra Chapter Rita nodded. "That was careless of ."
Rita: …
Just two simple lines, and they managed to mock both Starsea and Quiet Mountain.
And sohow all the hate would end up on her.
Even while talking nonstop, Rita's condition was far from good. Her HP fluctuated wildly, and her max HP had already been reduced to 60%. Two of her fatal weak points had been exposed, and QM Rita and Extra Chapter Rita were focusing on them relentlessly.
This was extrely dangerous.
Each hit on a fatal weak point guaranteed a 10% HP loss, and that loss could not recover for 24 hours. If it happened ten tis within that period, revival beca impossible.
She had already confird with BS Cicada that while soul fire recovered after death in Graveyard of Bones, the HP loss from fatal weak points did not. Only ti could restore it.
Rita drew a coin and slid it across her wrist, shifting one fatal weak point elsewhere.
She had tried using Dark Side of the Moon to imprison QM Rita before, but it failed. Wrathful Moon sent back a clear ssage:
She is already imprisoned by another existence. I cannot imprison soone already inside a cage.
Rita had no choice but to give up.
After being blasted back once more by the joint attack of QM Rita and Extra Chapter Rita, the latter suddenly asked,
"Why don't you seal in the lantern?"
Rita's left-hand flower sword burst into a sea of petals to entangle QM Rita, while her right-hand lightning blade deflected Extra Chapter Rita's dual swords.
She shot back, "So you can trigger phase two?"
Looking at each other felt like staring into a mirror. She knew her own Wildfire Reignite conditions, so how could she not know the other's?
The conditions had to be identical.
Three allies dead.
Hit by at least three soul fire abilities.
Soone attempts to seal your abilities or soul fire.
Imprisonnt counted as sealing. And one Quiet Mountain player had already died. Starsea had the numbers advantage.
Rita's gaze locked onto a certain spot. A smile briefly appeared on her face before she quickly suppressed it.
Three Starsea players were already dead. How unfortunate.
QM Rita had already sealed her soul fire once, and she had been hit by abilities from both Tingo JE and QM Rita.
Just one step left.
Not far away, BS Mistblade had already used her divine talent Warden to summon Dark Mistblade.
A few petals flew out, brushing past Dark Mistblade's shoulder. Rita deliberately took the hit, losing two drops of HP as her soul fire flared.
All three conditions t.
To maximize the effect, she shalessly shouted the line she had prepared:
"I once thought fate never favored Starsea, until I saw myself in the mirror."
Even she felt the secondhand embarrassnt. QM Rita tore through the petals and charged at her, looking even more eager to kill her now.
Rita prepared to enter phase two.
But nothing happened.
Through Wildfire Reignite, she sensed no enhancent.
Less than 20% of players on the field had emotional fluctuations.
Even if many were calm, even if Quiet Mountain players were ntally prepared, how could that line affect so few?
Then she realized.
Too many gods were present.
Old monsters, steady minds.
…Great.
While dodging QM Rita's attacks, Rita looked up at the gods hovering in silent opposition above. She provoked them directly.
"Starsea used to suffer, right? It's fine. I can make Quiet Mountain suffer more."
That did it.
This ti, the threshold was t.
Throwing caution aside, Rita entered phase two.
White petals and golden lightning surged toward her, wrapping around her body. In an instant, they fused into white-gold lightning, and within it, a strand of blue fla began to spread.
She had still made it.
QM Rita narrowed her eyes at Extra Chapter Rita, suspicion and killing intent clear.
"Do you actually want to kill her?"
BS Rita's combat skills had been personally trained by her. Without soul fire abilities, they were evenly matched. But now, with another Rita of identical abilities, they still couldn't kill her within five minutes?
Extra Chapter Rita t her gaze and sighed softly.
"You manipulate tilines. You summon alternate selves. She understands us across tilines, but you don't understand ."
QM Rita's expression darkened instantly, killing intent undisguised. If Extra Chapter Rita weren't still useful, she might have already attacked her.
The white-gold lightning began to condense.
QM Rita suddenly smiled faintly, her tone carrying danger.
"Maybe it's because I, this 'copy,' don't know your past."
Extra Chapter Rita shook her head.
"You don't need to know the past. Ask yourself."
"She and I, Undead Wildfire and you, we share the sa core."
"When your emotions and actions are rewritten for soone else's purpose, would you truly accept it?"
"Undead Wildfire refuses to be BS Rita's tool. Why would I accept being yours?"
"You can change my hatred, my faction, my objectives, my path."
"But you cannot change my logic."
"You made hate BS Rita. But I hate you more."
"How could I sincerely help you?"
She paused, then smiled provocatively.
"Be careful. I don't even know when my blade might turn on you."
"The difference between and Undead Wildfire…"
"I don't need to endure or compromise."
