Rita asked, \"How am I supposed to get to the tavern? And how could I possibly fool gods who've been beyond divine grace for who knows how long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King puffed up proudly. \"Looks like you don't really understand what it means when they say 'no existence can perceive your past, present, or future.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six cats behind the hairless cat nodded in perfect unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita asked honestly, \"What does it mean? I thought it just meant I couldn't be divined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During casual chats, Shadow.Q had once shared a piece of gossip. The divination circles in BS had effectively blacklisted her. No one accepted commissions related to BS Rita anymore. They even gave her a nickname: The Unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, the ship beneath them began to shrink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King and the six deputy captains jumped off Cat's Ideal one after another. Rita was about to follow when the King stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You stay. Let your pet come down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita froze. Then she noticed her body shrinking along with Cat's Ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything on the ship simplified as it shrank. Only the helm grew larger, until it occupied a fifth of the entire vessel. The ship itself shrank to just thirty centimeters long, about the same size as the King. The sail painted with a cat turned into a flag planted at the stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita, now a hairless kitten, was barely palm-sized, like a newborn less than a month old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat behind the helm, curiously pawing at the ship. She already knew Cat's Ideal could change size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she left the war cruise before, she had used a smaller version of the ship. It was faster and more agile. But that had been her limit at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Cat's Ideal was only SS rank. After it reached SSS, she had never tried shrinking it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King approached and raised a paw. \"How much soul fire do you have left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixty-seven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Incomplete Divine Talent: Sovereign\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current Progress 80 percent | Soul Fire 67 out of 103\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ability 1: Save and Load\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Save a timeline as your own. Sovereign may select a target, read their data from the saved timeline, and temporarily swap them with their counterpart. If used on self, summon your counterpart from that timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You may also save your current state and restore yourself to that point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saved timelines: 1 | Locked Soul Fire: 10\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saved player states: 1 | Locked Soul Fire: 10\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ability 2: Setting\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sovereign, you may define rules of the world. Soul fire consumption depends on the scale of change. The cost remains locked until the setting is removed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her soul fire cap had reached 103. Breaking past 80 percent progress granted her 80 base capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also the extra 20 from Moonlit Flame, and three more from Flower Crown Murder's new trait after landing final blows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if fully recovered, she could only actively use 78.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two saves locked 20 points. One for the timeline, one for her Wildfire Reignite Phase Two state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also had a trigger that auto-loaded when her soul fire was sealed. That locked another 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All necessary investments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King nodded in satisfaction. \"That's enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pointed at the center of the helm. \"Cat's Ideal is undetectable when hunting. Naturally, it has a hunting mode. But it only works at minimum size. As long as you feed it magic power, you won't be detected while piloting it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To fool beings beyond divine grace, you'll need to fuel it with soul fire. From my experience, one point lasts about one minute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With natural recovery, she could maintain it for about 69 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how do I reach the tavern? I don't want to leave this game,\" Rita said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still planned to continue hunting Quiet Mountain players after upgrading Cat's Ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If killing players reduced fatal weaknesses, then upgrading relics was her offensive growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrathful Moon had already granted her Moonlit Flame. She was curious what a King-tier Cat's Ideal would offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King raised a paw dramatically. \"We smuggle you in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like announcing rules in a horror game, it listed them one by one:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not let any god call your name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not appear outside Burial Time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will use my First Captain authority and activate Absolute Freedom to send you near the tavern. The ship will auto-return in one hour.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most importantly, you cannot leave the ship. Even if you reach out, the part outside must be less than ten percent of your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita pointed at the flag behind her. \"What if I wrap myself in the flag and leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King hesitated. \"...Try it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita immediately tore down the oversized flag and wrapped herself in it. She pressed the center of the helm and fed in one point of soul fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship turned translucent, like the Ghost Sang Cup vessel. Her body, wrapped in the flag, also became semi-transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt strange. She could sense herself and the ship slipping into another layer of reality. It reminded her of using Antenna Baby, but far more advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She jumped off and ran over ten meters away. The effect held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she fully wrapped herself, leaving only half her face exposed, she felt completely untraceable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tested the limits carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conclusion: it worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beyond fifty meters, the effect failed. And while outside the ship, soul fire drained twice as fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She returned and sat down, hanging her lantern on the helm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was night. Selling Moonfall reduced 80 percent of skill costs and 5 percent of soul fire cost. It also boosted all skill power by 20 percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Vine shrank around her wrist. Lightning hid in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, she decided she needed someone to guard the ship in case she had to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nivalis, get on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nivalis shrank with the pocket watch map and squeezed onto the tiny boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita wanted to bring B80 as well, but the King kept the robot behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It needed someone to play games with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything ready, the hairless kitten gripped the helm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King pressed its paw against the ship and sent her off without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp whoosh, the ship shot into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven cats and one small robot looked up as it vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh right,\" the King suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This hunting mode won't fool those high-tier gods who specialize in crafting artifacts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-06T06:15:33.502Z",1,"novelbin.me","239c0e6ed00e682d4bf8563ac808490988a8e2257d205fdf73f3a13252c97f2e","this-life-i-will-be-the-protagonist-chapter-1343","this-life-i-will-be-the-protagonist-chapter-1341",1404,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-life-i-will-be-the-protagonist-cover.jpg"]
