"Crap, Deceitful Bloom’s turned into BS-Rita’s hired muscle!"
"Crap, Deceitful Bloom’s beco her third pet!"
"...Wait, is it just , or is the Captain’s laughter outside getting way too loud?"
"No, hold up—that laughter’s not outside. That’s right at the door!"
"Foolishness? Hey, where the hell are you going, Foolishness?"
"Block the way! The next one up is definitely him!"
"He’s not getting away. I just saw the Captain and the others waiting outside!"
Foolishness: "..." I can’t live like this anymore.
...
Bone Shade was trapped, the rabbit clinging to him like a curse. What a wasted opportunity. Right now, three of Lania Kaia’s strongest leaders were here. The later arrivals would only be weaker.
If this lineup couldn’t kill BS-Rita, then none of them would.
Lania Kaia had sacrificed the stockpiles of nearly a hundred Divine Gas to launch this war ahead of schedule, to crush Blue Star before Rita could grow into her full strength.
And what was left? Resorting to a damn relay match?
Bone Shade had been playing longer than the Snowland itself had been annexed into Lania Kaia. He had played Chaotic Restaurant, too. He knew exactly who the rabbit was.
Every ti he shifted across the battlefield to chase BS-Rita, those dozens—hundreds—of system prompts ca back, ringing in his mind:
[You Are Being Watched]
[You Are Being Watched]
[You Are Being Watched]
He was under the eyes of unreachable powers. But he knew the truth: those eyes weren’t watching him. They were watching her. Always her.
If he didn’t know, maybe he wouldn’t be this furious. But he did know.
And he knew why. Because so god had started a vote. And the subject of that vote... was BS-Rita.
BS-Rita. Always BS-Rita. Why did she warrant this kind of attention? Why her?
Chaotic Restaurant, Blocks and —they all went to her. Even when they ca to kill her, wasn’t that still a kind of recognition?
He swallowed the jealousy like poison, forced his voice steady, even respectful, and asked the rabbit, "Your intervention in our war—don’t you think it’s unfair to Lania Kaia?"
The rabbit’s red eyes flicked over him, calm, dismissive. She only said, "I’m a limited event drop right now. You could summon too."
Nothing illegal. Nothing against the rules. If it had been, Divine Ga’s punishnts would have already fallen.
And just like that, the first player lost his composure under divine scrutiny.
Exactly what the Captain wanted. Amusing, wasn’t it?
Bone Shade didn’t press. To beg further would have been humiliating. So he let the minutes bleed out.
Two hours gone.
He hadn’t killed Flowering Edge or Peach Crown. His ti was over.
The scarlet portal shimred open behind him, chains wrapping his limbs, dragging him back. He resisted until the very last mont.
"Why?" he demanded, voice raw, staring at the rabbit’s back. "Am I not strong enough? Have I not played enough gas? Or am I just a bad monarch?"
The rabbit didn’t even turn her head. Too bored to explain to soone so uninteresting just how uninteresting he really was.
If the roles were reversed—if BS-Rita had been in his place—she would never have summoned her. And Bone Shade would never have dared ask the questions Rita never needed to ask. That was the difference. Small, subtle. But fundantal.
Bone Shade looked up at gods. Rita didn’t.
That was enough to make anyone furious.
The rabbit lunged toward Rita, already planning how she was going to ride her down and beat her bloody.
Bone Shade’s gaze dimd. Half his body was already in the scarlet light, but his pale finger thrust out toward Rita.
"I sacrifice my ti skill to curse BS-Rita. Until this war between Blue Star and Lania Kaia ends, she cannot use any ti abilities."
He had seen it—her hidden tricks, the way she bent ti itself. Maple Syrup had even prophesied it. This was her cornerstone.
Now it was gone.
"Finally fair!" Bone Shade roared as he vanished into the light.
Rita didn’t waste ti being angry. She sprang back, dodging the rabbit’s lunge, and tossed a taunt at the three enemies still standing.
"Move it! Keep up! Prove to you’re not cowards!"
Then she was gone, sprinting to intercept the newest leader descending through the scarlet gate.
Deceitful Bloom followed fastest, fury blazing. She had already decided—if she didn’t kill Rita today, she wasn’t worthy of her na.
But when she arrived, Rita was already standing beside a glowing magic circle.
A fat, dead-eyed Coerl Duck appeared inside.
Deceitful Bloom and Foolishness locked eyes.
The new curse hit instantly: [For the next 6 hours, all skill costs 50%].
Annoying, but manageable.
Rita clapped, delighted. "Let’s welco... uh!" She squinted at the duck. "Yeah, that guy!"
Poison as dicine. The trick was simple. Use magic to counter magic. Summon another brute.
She turned to the duck, earnest again. "Back then, we both had our reasons. Let’s put it aside, fight together—"
Deceitful Bloom & Foolishness: Enough!
The tornt was unimaginable. They could already hear the laughter of the others, the mockery echoing across realms.
The duck, not wanting to hear another word, whipped out a leek from god knows where, wiggled his hips, and charged at the rabbit. His beak snapped as he yelled, "It’s your fault!"
Deceitful Bloom’s ears twitched. "Your fault! You’re the reason she even learned this skill!"
The rabbit and the duck were at each other’s throats instantly.
Perfect. Rita turned away. One problem solved.
Now her enemies were Flowering Edge, Peach Crown, and the freshly arrived Siren King Misu.
She couldn’t take all three. Even two was pushing survival.
Didn’t matter.
School Rule No. 801 flared again. Rita raised her hand. [Shabby Road].
Another rabbit appeared.
Praise Deceitful Bloom. Praise the rabbits.
She had killed so many event bosses back in the day. Now each one could be summoned. When Foolishness got his half-hour of revenge, she’d just send in this fresh rabbit to stall him. And if that one faltered, she’d summon another.
A flawless loop. A genius cycle. She was brilliant.
This curse, though... annoying. [Your divine relic Wrathful Moon is sealed for 2 hours.]
The new rabbit arrived, staring at her in disbelief.
What’s next, a full demon reunion party right here?
Rita pointed at Flowering Edge. "See that? She’s yours. Go wild."
And then she was already charging Peach Crown and Misu, back into another 1v2.
Puppetlord, newly arrived, could only gape.
...Soone stop her already!
