Chapter 1360 1360: 1361 Divine Game: Graveyard of Bones 82

"Remember what I said? I am the pendulum crashing into Quiet Mountain."

No one could have imagined that BS Rita's joking remark back when she activated Phase Two inside Quiet Mountain would become reality at this very moment.

This was something that had never happened before.

Quiet Mountain gods and Starsea gods stared at each other from afar.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

It felt like war could break out at any second...

Yet somehow also impossible to begin.

Truthfully, the Quiet Mountain side was neither furious nor panicked.

Quiet Mountain's tranquility had little to do with them.

They had simply been pushed by the demon games into standing opposite Starsea.

They just did not want to lose.

Did not want to die.

As for Quiet Mountain's future?

They did not truly care.

Most importantly, the moment they completely transcended divine gifts, they received memories from before the point they were copied into Quiet Mountain.

In a sense, every Quiet Mountain god standing here was complicated.

Neither fully belonging to Starsea.

Nor fully belonging to Quiet Mountain.

They were existences drifting between the two.

Their final destination had always been Graveyard of Bones.

Meanwhile, excitement and novelty dominated the Starsea side.

This was an entirely new version!

After playing for so many years, no one had ever achieved something like this.

Because no one had ever desperately wanted to drag their worlds out of the invasion sequence.

No matter how much people hated war, once caught in the vortex, everyone sank deeper and deeper.

Either invade other worlds...

Or wait to be invaded by stronger worlds.

Those seemed to be the only two choices.

Starsea beings did not truly hate war itself.

They hated being invaded.

Only BS Rita had walked a new path.

She hated war.

Not only hated BS being invaded—

She also hated BS invading other worlds and destroying other beings.

The reason she could write those World Sighs was not merely because she possessed the ability.

It was because she had the qualification.

Every shattered world will was willing to open itself to her.

Willing to embrace and accept her.

And now—

She had brought those surviving worlds into Quiet Mountain itself.

She had altered the direction of the pendulum.

Forget Divine Game history needing a separate chapter for her.

Even Order Clock's history would need one.

Even Quiet Mountain itself seemed at a loss.

Of course it could expel BS Rita.

But the problem remained the same.

Even if they drove her away, she could return at any time.

The suffocating silence and confrontation stretched endlessly.

Finally, QM Deceitful Bloom spoke first.

"You can't keep these worlds inside Quiet Mountain forever."

She instantly pointed out the most crucial fact.

BS Rita brought these worlds away because she did not want Order Clock to destroy Starsea.

When the pendulum crashed into Quiet Mountain, she obviously could not leave those Starsea worlds here permanently.

Eventually, she would leave Quiet Mountain.

"Mhm."

Rita nodded.

There was even a trace of ease and delight in her eyes.

"So what? Starsea isn't in a hurry anyway."

She lightly raised her right hand.

The hundred worlds inside the pouch all floated upward.

These brilliantly colored worlds drifted beside various gods.

Nuclear Flash searched for its language fruit.

Tingo found wind whales.

Lania Kaia drifted toward the undead.

BS circled around the Adjudicator.

Not only that—

Cat's Ideal slowly rose into the sky.

Higher and higher.

Until it floated above the Quiet Mountain gods themselves.

Until the beings of Starsea stood above Quiet Mountain and looked down upon them.

Only then did she continue.

"If you kill me, these worlds stay in Quiet Mountain. Order Clock won't move worlds itself. Otherwise it would violate the order where Starsea and Quiet Mountain compete for survival rights."

"Of course, after killing me, you could also have Quiet Mountain expel every Starsea god."

"Then you could enter these hundred worlds one by one and slaughter all the defenseless beings inside before shattering the worlds themselves."

Her tone remained gentle while describing an utterly horrifying scenario.

Then she smiled.

"But sadly, even that's too late now. Order Clock has already changed direction."

"If you want it to turn back, then Starsea must become brighter than Quiet Mountain again."

Order was just this cold.

And this fair.

Quiet Mountain Lynx Duke appeared beside the ship in a flash, looking directly at BS Rita.

"What do you want?"

Everything was already in chaos.

Even the final competition itself seemed meaningless now.

But more terrifying still—

Quiet Mountain possessed no means of resisting the pendulum.

Yet Quiet Mountain Lynx Duke was certain of one thing.

BS Rita's true goal absolutely was not destroying Quiet Mountain.

One of the most interesting things about intelligent beings was this:

When they judged others, they most easily exposed their own hearts.

BS Rita's earlier scenario had been provocative.

But also deeply revealing.

She firmly believed these Quiet Mountain gods could never massacre endless Starsea civilians.

Because inside BS Rita's worldview—

Such an act was horrifying.

Something no one could truly bring themselves to do.

"Your goal isn't to turn Quiet Mountain into another land of slaughter, is it?"

For perhaps the first time, Lynx Duke deliberately softened her voice as she spoke her guess aloud.

Almost as though soothing a madwoman standing at the edge of collapse.

As though trying to calm BS Rita through praise.

Rita merely looked at her coldly.

She did not answer immediately.

Instead, she used the opportunity to ask the question buried in her heart.

"Why is it that after Starsea is destroyed, countless new worlds are born again... but Quiet Mountain doesn't work that way?"

"If you can't answer, then let Quiet Mountain answer."

The gods fell silent.

Quiet Mountain fell silent.

Even Starsea fell silent.

Finally—

A fragmented voice echoed through the sky.

[Because... the realm of order... cannot simultaneously contain... two blazing seas of fire...]

Rita smiled brightly.

"That's exactly what I want."

"I want to see what happens when that moment comes... and the realm of order still remains bright."

[What awaits... is destruction.]

Rita's next words overlapped perfectly with the final syllable of that voice.

"Then let everything be destroyed together!"

The smile on her face instantly froze into ice.

Her eyes darkened.

As though she had finally torn away her mask and screamed out all the fury and unwillingness buried inside her heart.

Her gaze swept across the silent Quiet Mountain gods.

Across the distant Hearthsmoke rising from village chimneys.

Across Quiet Mountain's peaceful serenity.

The howling winds of Quiet Mountain rattled the cookie house hanging from the sails.

Why was it that all she could remember were the cries echoing from afar when the bell rang?

Why could she only remember the World Graveyards floating through the river of time—

The ones she had stacked across an entire table—

The ones raised high by homeless beings blowing bubbles into the sky?

She had personally written countless World Sighs.

Most of them filled with happiness.

The sorrow, pain, and grief only occupied tiny endings.

Yet every time the coin spun across her fingertips, what she saw were always the tragic endings.

The fury inside her slowly calmed.

Then she spoke coldly.

"Before the thirty days are up, I'll return to Starsea and force the pendulum to turn again."

"I don't know exactly when the final destruction will arrive."

"But I'll continue my original plan and gather every Starsea world together."

"If we survive this destruction, then everyone wins."

"If we don't..."

"Then either we solve the source of all this together..."

"Or we all perish together."

After a brief silence, she continued.

"I truly did not come here to destroy Quiet Mountain."

"I came here to drag Quiet Mountain into Starsea's invasion sequence."

"From now on, as long as I remain alive—"

"If Starsea is peaceful, Quiet Mountain will be peaceful."

"If Starsea falls into chaos, Quiet Mountain won't know peace either."

"Abandon that ridiculous pendulum."

"Abandon becoming blades in the hands of order."

"Your best choice is to face the final destruction together with Starsea."

"To solve the source behind all of this."

"That... is the order I want."
