At this time, the space had turned into a complete world.
Takumi and the others were the audience.
On the other side were the participantsthose who had been forced to attend.
They couldn't resist at all.
Shiroyasha had used her authority.
Takumi arrived at the scene and materialized a chair before sitting down.
Then, he happily prepared to enjoy the upcoming battle.
Others followed Takumi's example and created their own seating.
The Halloween Queen had also been roped in.
She glanced at Takumi's side and then made her own chair and table, even bringing out some snacks.
It was clear that she intended to treat Shiroyasha like a circus performer.
Noticing this, Takumi couldn't help but laugh.
It really did feel like watching a circus. Shiroyasha would probably be pissed off when she saw it.
On the other side, Shiroyasha appeared.
She had returned to her mature form.
"Everyone already knows the rules."
"The audience has also arrived."
"In that case, let's begin."
"Attack me with all your strength."
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
Shiroyasha made an extremely arrogant declaration as soon as she stepped onto the stage.
This immediately made many people angry.
"Are you serious?"
"Are you really going to do this to all of us?"
Someone in the crowd asked, clearly upset.
Shiroyasha sneered in response:
"I gave everyone a chance."
"But you didn't take it."
She had spoken loudly before, but no one listened.
Now, she had to act.
The opportunity had been given. If they didn't want it, she would take it by force.
As Shiroyasha said this, the faces of the others darkened.
Handing over their sovereignty?
Impossible. That was their lifeblood. And now she was trying to take it?
Outrageous!
Shiroyasha didn't waste any more time.
If they wouldn't move, she would.
She waved her hand, and a star beast manifested from her sun authority appeared.
Without a word, it launched an attack.
The others rushed to counterattack.
But faced with overwhelming power, their resistance was paper-thin.
They were shattered in one clash.
Shiroyasha's assault targeted those below.
"So weak."
Seeing that most of them were defeated in an instant, Shiroyasha was speechless.
Why had they resisted if they were this weak?
She truly didn't understand their bravery. It was a one-sided massacre.
This made Shiroyasha lose all motivation.
Maybe she should have done this from the beginning.
Clearly, force was the fastest solution.
Shiroyasha didn't hesitate anymore. She accelerated her movements.
Those who were defeated were eliminated. She showed no mercy.
"So boring."
The Halloween Queen observed the battle below.
She picked up her tea and took a sip.
It was dull.
Like watching a monkey show.
Indeed, Shiroyasha resembled a monkey.
Thinking this, the Halloween Queen looked at Shiroyasha with open disdain.
Naturally, Shiroyasha sensed it from afar.
Her expression darkened.
She regretted inviting these spectators!
Takumi:
[LOL]
[The Halloween Queen is watching a circus!]
[Shiroyasha is the monkey.]
Takumi took note of both their reactions and laughed.
He posted directly in the group.
Everyone remained silent, but they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
If they spoke, Shiroyasha might pull them down and beat them up.
So they held it in.
Shiroyasha:
[Oh shit!!]
[I regret inviting you all.]
Shiroyasha truly regretted it.
She had thought this would be a grand display. Instead, she became the clown.
A one-woman show.
Her face darkened further.
She increased her power output.
Better to end this farce quickly, close the game field, and claim her victory.
With a final surge, Shiroyasha kicked everyone out.
The forced Gift Game was over.
A total farce.
Takumi blinked in surprise after being expelled.
His expression grew even more amused.
Though he and the others were kicked out
The Halloween Queen wasn't.
In other words, Shiroyasha would now be alone with her.
Takumi:
[If you can invite us, why can't you let us stay?]
[Shiroyasha, I want to see you fight the Halloween Queen!!]
Though Takumi could re-enter any time, that didn't stop him from teasing her.
Others chimed in too.
They wanted to see it.
Seeing the group messages, Shiroyasha's face turned darker.
"So what?"
"Are you going to fight me?"
The Halloween Queen, now alone with her, wasn't fazed at all.
She looked at Shiroyasha provocatively.
"Hateful!!"
"You've had enough!"
"Do you think I'm a monkey?"
The enraged Shiroyasha yelled at her.
"Aren't you?"
"You were performing down there like a clown."
The Halloween Queen tilted her head and looked at Shiroyasha.
Wasn't it the truth?
Those words made Shiroyasha furious.
Ch. 826 Taking Control with Ease~!
Shiroyasha was undoubtedly angered by the Halloween Queen's words.
"OK OK!"
"Looks like we have to fight again today."
"You are very brave!!"
The trembling Shiroyasha glared at the Halloween Queen fiercely.
Faced with this threat, the Halloween Queen just glanced at her lightly, then disappeared from the spot.
No place could hold her. It was too easy for her to leave.
After all, she was also a realm player.
Before Shiroyasha could take action, the Halloween Queen, now much stronger, already knew the best way to handle the situationrun away. She could talk all she wanted but wouldn't fight.
Otherwise, she'd just get beaten. Escaping was a perfectly valid form of self-protection.
It was impossible for Shiroyasha to go all out, right?
Shiroyasha, so ridiculous!
Shiroyasha's face darkened even more as she saw the Halloween Queen.
"Damn it!!"
She shouted and hurriedly gave chase.
Another scene of love and violence was about to unfold.
She was truly furious now.
Although the Gift Game had been resolved easily this time, she was still humiliated by the Halloween Queen.
Damn, she really regretted bringing so many people.
If she could redo it, she'd never do it again.
It was just too embarrassing. She was fuming with regret.
She must have been laughed at for a long time!
Thinking of this made her feel worse than death.
Meanwhile, the group was buzzing with discussion.
Shiroyasha had kicked everyone out, leaving only the Halloween Queen. Everyone knew it.
[Is Shiroyasha planning to take her anger out on the Halloween Queen?]
[That's just too much!!]
[I didn't expect Shiroyasha to be the kind of person who can't take a joke!!]
Kudou Asuka:
[It's normal for her to need a punching bag. Besides, the Halloween Queen seems to look down on her.]
Kasukabe You:
[What a farce!]
Houraisan Kaguya:
[It almost made me laugh to death!! Hahaha~~!]
[Is it really okay for us to enjoy watching her squirm like this?]
Yuyuko:
[Shiroyasha is shameless!]
For a while, the group chat was full of messages ridiculing Shiroyasha.
Of course, Shiroyasha saw everything.
And the mockery stung.
It hurt so much!!
She really wanted to die.
Could she leave the group immediately?
Unfortunately, the group had no exit buttonand she was penalized!
Thinking of this, Shiroyasha went numb.
Shiroyasha:
[Just laugh!!]
[Just look and say nothing!!]
She had made up her mind. She would pretend nothing happened.
Whatever. Laugh all you want.
Takumi:
[Sexy Shiroyasha embarrassed online!]
[I can laugh for two and a half years!!]
Takumi was thoroughly enjoying himself. He had witnessed everything between Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen.
The Halloween Queen was impressive.
She might not be able to win, but she could definitely escape.
That was satisfying.
Even after winning, Shiroyasha wasn't in a good mood.
Now she stared at the group chat with a sour face.
After a while, she turned it off once the laughter died down.
Then she went to collect her rewards.
Time to power up before hunting down the Halloween Queen!
That one could really run.
Still, she needed to replenish her realm power first.
With that in mind, Shiroyasha got busy.
She started harvesting the fruits of her first victory.
Suddenly, the suns of all worlds grew active.
Temperatures in sunlit areas began to rise.
Ordinary people just felt the weather had suddenly become hotter.
But powerful beings could tell
The suns were being claimed by a mighty existence.
Those who had lost could only watch helplessly as their solar authority was stripped away.
They became much weaker.
This alone made countless people uncomfortable.
It really hurt
People in Takumi's house also noticed the temperature shift.
Algol felt the rising heat and asked Takumi:
"Can Al-chan control all the demon stars in all worlds?"
"Just like Shiroyasha!"
Algol was immediately eager to try.
If Shiroyasha could do it, why not her?
In her myth, she had been sublimated into the Demon Star of Perseus.
Perseus existed in all worlds.
So couldn't she do it too?
Upon hearing this, Takumi tilted his head and looked at her.
"Isn't it just a matter of taking the initiative?"
"You just haven't accepted it yet."
"After all, Al-chan is unique."
"There might be Medusas in other worlds, but none are Demon Stars."
Takumi found it funny.
Her spirit was now one of a kind.
If she wanted to, she could take it.
Though it wouldn't bring a huge boost.
Being unique meant all Demon Star authority belonged to her already. She just hadn't activated it yet.
If she did, it would still strengthen herbetter than nothing.
"Ugh!"
"Forget it."
After learning the situation, Algol lost interest.
Just a tiny improvement?
Boring.
She thought she'd get a huge power-up like Shiroyasha.
Didn't expect it to be just a drop?
Why try so hard? Might as well lie down!
Takumi rubbed her head and said:
"If you want to grow stronger, why not turn some blank worlds into your own Demon Worlds?"
"The more worlds you have, the more power you can develop."
"With your spiritual power, it should be easy to create them, right?"
Seeing she had nothing to do, Takumi offered the suggestion.
Algol blinked.
"That's so boring!"
"I don't want to!!"
"I don't want to raise any demons!!"
She refused outright.
Even the idea sounded like a hassle.
Algol didn't want to do such a thing.
"A hassle?"
"Not at all!"
"Just imagineAthena comes back after exploring dozens of worlds, only to find you already have more than her."
"Then you bring out your loyal little followers. What would she say?"
Takumi grinned.
It was too easy to manipulate her.
Just mention Athena.
At first, Algol wasn't interested.
But now that Takumi brought up Athena, she perked right up.
It actually made a lot of sense!
Ch. 827 You Want Me as Target Practice?
Algol thought about what Takumi said.
Athena had gone out and discovered many worlds, but Algol had cultivated even more while staying at home.
And her spirits were stronger.
On top of that, she brought back a bunch of younger brothers.
Algol suddenly got excited at the thought.
"OK OK!!"
"I want to cultivate the Demon World!!"
Imagining the scene in her mind, Algol was thrilled.
This was amazing!
Wouldn't Athena be shocked when she came back?
She'd been busy all this time, yet Algol had accomplished even more from home.
Just the thought made Algol energetic.
She made her decision!
"Then go to Kurma's domain."
"There are plenty of empty worlds there."
"Whichever one you want, you can cultivate it yourself."
"They were originally powerful worlds, just weakened after the restart."
"If you go and retrain them, you might even surpass Athena."
Takumi's final words hit Algol hard.
Surpass Athena?
That was perfect.
It meant she was being taken seriously.
"I'm leaving!"
With that, Algol vanished.
She couldn't wait another second in this shabby place.
She was going to develop her own Demon World!
Watching her disappear, Takumi felt nothing but joy.
This way, Algol would be busy for a long time.
He had accurately used Athena to provoke Algol.
Now she wouldn't overthink things.
Let her enjoy herself.
It would be great to have her power used to build worlds.
Takumi didn't mind, as long as it stayed within his world.
Development was all that mattered.
If she stuck to her domain, she was still part of this world.
If Algol fixated on the Demon World, it would only cause tension with Greek mythology.
But that wasn't a big deal.
After all, Algol and Athena had a long-standing feud.
Now that Takumi had used Athena to trigger Algol, she would definitely surprise her rival.
At that moment, Athena, who was exploring the worlds, shuddered.
She had already entered a dormant chamber but still sensed an intense wave of malice.
It was so annoying.
Algol was harassing her, so she'd gone into hibernation.
She'd left to avoid Algol.
Now with a network signal, Algol was spamming her every day.
She couldn't even block her.
Frustrated, Athena had gone into hibernation.
Those exploring worlds had joined her.
...
In Takumi's world, Shiroyasha had now gained control over the suns of all worlds.
Feeling her newfound power, she was ecstatic.
It felt amazing.
Immediately, she pinged Takumi in the group chat.
Shiroyasha:
[@Takumi, come and have a fight!!]
Takumi, relaxing at home, was filled with question marks when he saw her message.
Takumi:
[So swollen?]
Good griefdid she get cocky just from gaining some power?
She actually wanted to challenge him?
Wasn't that asking for trouble?
Shiroyasha:
[I want to test how much I've grown.]
[Let's fight!!]
[I might not be second in the world, but I should be third!!]
The strongest was Takumi, then Prometheus.
Given her current state, she should be third, right?
She could even take on the Herrschers now.
Shiroyasha was confident in her strength.
She had grown significantly.
Takumi:
[6~!]
[If you insist, come on.]
[See you in the arena next door!]
