When she finished collecting the hundredth world, Rita decisively stopped.
One hand resting on the helm, she turned back toward the passengers seated behind her.
"Ready?"
The usually quiet crowd silently looked at her.
Truthfully, they did not fully understand BS Rita's choice either.
But every one of them had benefited from it.
And all of them trusted her plan.
Lightchaser asked, "Where are we going?"
"To give Quiet Mountain a gift."
With a smile, Rita spun the wheel.
The sound of waves echoed.
In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed.
The ship appeared inside Graveyard of Bones.
At nearly the sa mont, every Starsea and Quiet Mountain player heard the sa notification.
[Warning, warning! Disorder detected within Order! Disorder detected within Order!]
[Order Clock has stopped advancing. Pendulum movent paused. Pendulum movent paused.]
The Starsea players aboard the ship looked at BS Rita with shining eyes.
anwhile, the players who had already sunk into despair stared blankly at the announcent.
Across all of Unordered Starsea, in every world, in every corner, every crying voice seed to have been muted.
Rita laughed softly.
"Still not enough."
The sound of waves rang out again.
The hundred-ter-long ship stopped directly outside the Demon Tavern.
Rita ran to the edge of the ship and shouted toward both taverns at once:
"Starsea-Quiet Mountain route! Anyone coming aboard?? Boarding ti is only thirty seconds!"
The doors of both taverns exploded open.
One figure after another leapt onto the ship.
"It's never been this chaotic before..."
"Well, nothing else to do anyway."
"This breaks the rules, doesn't it?"
"Order Clock's already in chaos. Who cares?"
"Hurry up, hurry up! While Order Clock's unstable! No matter what happens, it can't get worse than now!"
"If attacking Quiet Mountain could've changed Starsea's situation, I'd have done it ages ago."
It was not just the taverns.
Outside them, mysterious figures Rita had never seen before were diving from the sky and boarding the ship.
Thinking about what would happen once they landed, Rita shouted:
"Bring your weapons and equipnt too!"
Deceitful Bloom, who had already boarded and was currently leaning against Nivalis, froze for a mont.
Annoyed, she asked Foolishness,
"Are we her battle pets now?"
Foolishness, currently instructing Nivalis to curl her tail higher so she could sit more comfortably, replied without looking up,
"Hard to say who's spoiling who."
"..."
Deceitful Bloom tilted her head slightly and expressionlessly looked toward BS Rita.
"Done staring? Planning to sail anyti soon?"
Rita: "..."
Such a bad temper!
She said thirty seconds and ant exactly thirty seconds.
Because the mont the ship left Graveyard of Bones, the notifications resud.
[Order currently undergoing correction...]
anwhile, beneath the distant Order Clock, the pendulum that had stopped monts earlier began swaying slightly once again.
At that mont, Rita's eyes flickered.
She released the wheel and reached out, catching a golden bullet falling from the sky.
Bullet: Adjudicator.
Thirty seconds were up.
Rita stored the bullet away.
The sound of waves roared once more.
With an entire ship full of players and gods, Rita sailed directly toward Quiet Mountain.
The ship landed upon grasslands.
The exact sa landing point Rita had used during her previous visit to Quiet Mountain.
And the mont the ship touched ground, Order Clock's voice thundered once more.
[Warning! Severe disorder detected within Order!]
[Warning! Severe disorder detected within Order!]
[Order Clock has stopped advancing. Pendulum movent paused...]
[Warning! Order Clock will enter Quiet Mountain in 30 Order Days!]
Only after hearing the exact result she had planned for did Rita finally relax halfway.
If this realm of order truly lived inside a dark forest...
If the brightness and warmth of soul fire attracted even more terrifying existences...
Then perhaps that was why Order Clock periodically destroyed either Starsea or Quiet Mountain.
If that was what "order" ant—
Then disrupt it.
Then let her bring the brightest soul fires into Quiet Mountain itself.
Let the pendulum strike Quiet Mountain instead.
Figures appeared across Quiet Mountain's skies one after another.
Among them were the Quiet Mountain gods she had seen not long ago.
Watching BS Rita arrive in Quiet Mountain carrying entire worlds behind her.
Watching the massive ship packed with Starsea gods.
Recalling the notification from monts ago...
Every Quiet Mountain god present felt a headache coming on.
Leaning lazily against the helm, Rita waved at QM Deceitful Bloom.
"Long ti no see?"
QM Deceitful Bloom: "..."
My head hurts.
Even while joking around, Rita was carefully observing the number of Quiet Mountain gods.
Just as all the Starsea gods who had realized her intentions earlier had gathered here, every Quiet Mountain god would naturally also arrive after hearing Order Clock's warning.
In terms of numbers, Quiet Mountain had far fewer gods than Starsea.
Not even a hundred.
anwhile, Starsea possessed over a thousand.
This likely stemd from the differing selection systems between the two worlds.
Quiet Mountain selected by copying Starsea players with potential.
And after copying them, ruthless rounds of elimination followed.
Starsea's Divine Ga also eliminated players, but the worst outco was rely losing one's Divine Ga status.
Rita had no way of knowing what Unordered Starsea looked like in earlier eras.
But in her current era, only ten Quiet Mountain players remained alive.
anwhile, although fewer than a hundred Starsea players had comprehended divine talent words, the total surviving player count vastly surpassed Quiet Mountain's.
Order Clock's alarms continued sounding.
Yet both sides fell into stalemate.
Outside of Starsea's absolute top-tier gods, most Starsea gods truly could not compare to Quiet Mountain players in direct combat.
But Starsea had numbers.
Even if the demon gas expelled them, Rita could simply bring them back imdiately.
And demon gas did not possess the authority to expel so many existences that had already transcended ga rules.
Only Order Clock could do that.
But Order Clock was currently in chaos.
The best solution was obvious.
Kill BS Rita.
She was the key to everything.
However—
The mont all Quiet Mountain gods focused their gazes upon BS Rita, the gods and players surrounding her subtly shifted positions, protecting her in the center.
The lantern already sowhat infamous among Quiet Mountain gods emitted soft light above her head.
Bathed in moonlight, BS Rita smiled faintly and spoke word by word:
"Rember what I said?"
"I am the pendulum crashing into Quiet Mountain."
