But after using it repeatedly in the amusement park, she noticed the blooms changed hue each time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she fought the rabbits: red flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the claw machine: pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now: purple — soft lavender, deep violet, pastel lilac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter the color, she still hadn't found any pattern to the buffs the flowers provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, their bumper car was the fastest on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That other car, the one with a lone surviving player — they'd managed to survive Rita's combo of [Midnight Exile] and [Family Bucket]. Definitely not your average player. But with Nivalis hot on their heels, there was no way they'd safely retrieve their downed teammate within the 10-second limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting another bumper car rear-end them three times meant losing out on some Block distribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But failing to pick up a teammate in time meant mechanical penalties — including malfunctions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the two, the choice was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the opponent's bumper car slowed near the entrance to pick up their teammate, Nivalis rear-ended them without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deep drumbeat, one of their steering wheel's magic notes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They'd scored it within 30 seconds of the game starting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena stirred again. All 100 bumper cars were now reactivated and surging back into the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Arcane version of [Family Bucket] not only increased the number of cloned skills and targets by 10, but still retained its 5-minute duration. The massacre resumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't like the space pirate game. There, being hit three times as the chest meant losing Blocks. Rita couldn't afford to take risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, as long as she didn't die, she wouldn't lose anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't about to waste this chance to rake in Blocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nivalis kept hunting new targets to bump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Rita's rampage was starting to draw the entire arena's aggression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly every player began focusing fire on her. Under the overwhelming hatred and visual effects of her slaughter, her passive — [Yes, I'm Fish Belly, what about it?], which made her seem \"non-threatening\" — was completely overridden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nivalis whipped the car side to side, trying to dodge incoming spells. It was chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita: \"Just focus on driving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said it, she jumped from seat to seat, meeting attacks head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arcane Skill: [Bone Shield Armor] — Seven spinning bone shards orbit her. Each has durability equal to 50% of her max HP. When a shard breaks, she instantly heals 20% HP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arcane Skill: [Hyperdrive] — Multiplies Agility x5 for 5 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arcane Skill: [If You Can Kill Me] — Sets her minimum HP threshold to -800% instead of 0%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita stood tall on the seat, continuously firing arrows. She didn't care who she hit. If you were in their path, she'd take you down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>B8017913 clung to the edge of the car, grabbing fallen Blocks and tossing them in as Nivalis sped by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the [Absurd Story] item Rita had brought into Divine Game, every attack she suffered triggered reflected damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over ten seconds, all seven bone shards shattered. Rita's HP dropped to -335% — and that was with constant healing from [Fourfold Spring], [If You Can Kill Me], and procs from [Absurd Story]'s absurd recovery traits:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10% chance: 1% of damage heals instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1% chance: all of the damage heals instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under a barrage from nearly the entire player base, both effects triggered repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Rita didn't take chances. She activated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arcane Skill: [Pick Me Up] — instantly restores 100% HP, and continues healing 1.5% per second for 2 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even lifted her leg to block a red projectile heading for Nivalis — the moment it touched her, it turned around and flew back the way it came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>B8017913 was running full logistics mode:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up Blocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stacking them on Rita.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracking which bumper cars had been hit, and how many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warning if a car was about to hit them a third time and score a note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted max rewards, they couldn't just kill — they had to light their own notes while preventing others from lighting theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players kept disappearing. Some died to Rita's arrows. Some were killed by reflected damage. The ground never stopped raining Blocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Rita was collecting [Game Machine That Loves Games] pieces, Nivalis would favor larger Blocks whenever possible — so long as it didn't interfere with their main goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita hadn't let go of her bow once since the match began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their car remained the fastest on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though her scouting glasses [Unfazed by the Strange · Incomplete] didn't show much info, they gave her enough:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerald Crane – Desert Bloom (Tier 9)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerald Crane – Fragrant Berry (Tier 8)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerald Crane – Dormant Root (Tier 5)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghost – Echoveil (Tier 10)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiger Stripes (Tier 12)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Garlic (Tier 9)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Potted Raise (Tier 12)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita saw the names, and her heart burned with joy.
