This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist
Chapter 1361 Divine Game: Graveyard of Bones 83
Everyone understood what BS Rita meant.
Starsea understood.
Quiet Mountain understood.
Even the order currently trapped in chaos understood.
She did not want Order Clock’s self righteous "goodness."
She did not want Order Clock’s self righteous fairness.
She wanted to establish a new order.
The entire scene fell completely silent.
The cookie houses hanging from the sails rose and fell in the wind, tapping rhythmically against the canvas.
Robes and coat hems fluttered violently.
Neither the Starsea gods nor the Quiet Mountain gods spoke.
But who here had not already transcended divine gifts?
Gradually, everyone began hearing each other’s heartbeats growing faster and faster.
As though the pendulum of order was no longer crashing toward Starsea and Quiet Mountain—
But toward their hearts themselves.
They had believed their hearts had long gone numb across these endless repeating epochs.
The same stories had played out again and again.
War and mourning had done more than prevent Vineborne flowers from blooming.
They had withered the hearts of every Starsea god.
And for the Quiet Mountain copies, the "past" they received after transcending divine gifts—
Was it truly a gift?
Or was it punishment?
Did it make them complete?
Or only shatter them further?
After an unknown amount of time, QM Deceitful Bloom and Quiet Mountain Lynx Duke spoke almost simultaneously.
"Alright."
Those two words shattered the silence.
Then more and more voices agreed.
"We’ll stay in Quiet Mountain. And future Divine Games, Starsea players who want to participate will continue participating too."
Rita announced it plainly.
Every Divine Game was another chance for growth.
She did not want to miss them.
"Do whatever you want."
Even though they had agreed to BS Rita’s plan, being forced into such an awkward situation by a player who had not even fully transcended divine gifts—
And in front of their originals no less—
The Quiet Mountain gods clearly did not want to remain here any longer.
One after another, they left.
Only QM Deceitful Bloom and Quiet Mountain Lynx Duke remained behind.
QM Deceitful Bloom said, "You can stay in Beacon."
Rita shook her head.
"No need."
Then Cat’s Ideal rapidly expanded.
The ship grew to over three hundred meters long.
Its luxurious grandeur rivaled the old war cruise ship.
"This is Starsea’s residence."
Every Starsea god and Starsea player unconsciously revealed elegant smiles.
Sure, we immigrated by force—
But we brought our own luxury housing.
Not embarrassing at all.
As for where everyone would live whenever BS Rita used Cat’s Ideal afterward...
They would deal with that later.
QM Deceitful Bloom’s gaze swept over the cheerful blooming flowers covering Starsea Deceitful Bloom’s Vine.
Her head instantly began hurting again.
"Do whatever you want."
Then she left as well.
Only Quiet Mountain Lynx Duke remained.
Her gaze lingered on Wrathful Moon.
"That fairy tale she wrote back then, Starsea Lynx Duke... came true."
Rita calmly refuted her.
"I only know that my fairy tale is called BS Rita."
Quiet Mountain Lynx Duke froze briefly.
Then a faint smile bloomed across her usually cold face.
"Your personality really resembles Lynx Duke."
"If the timing were different, I’d think you were her student."
Deceitful Bloom immediately replied, "She’s my student."
Lightchaser followed, "She’s my student."
Foolishness added, "She’s my student."
Cinders calmly said, "She’s my student."
Four completely different voices sounded at once.
Quiet Mountain Lynx Duke: "..."
Rita: "..."
The overwhelming arrogance she had displayed earlier while trampling Starsea, Quiet Mountain, and Order Clock beneath her feet suddenly vanished completely.
Under everyone’s gaze, the BS Adjudicator abruptly lowered her head and began examining her fingernails as though they were the most fascinating thing in existence.
Then suddenly—
QM Deceitful Bloom reappeared somehow.
She pointed at BS Rita while speaking to Starsea Deceitful Bloom.
"She calls us by name all the time and you still can’t even win a student fight?"
"I just checked. You were her very first teacher!"
Starsea Deceitful Bloom: "..."
BS Rita quietly corrected, "Second..."
QM Deceitful Bloom: "..."
The atmosphere instantly became even heavier.
Because every flower blooming across QM Deceitful Bloom’s Vine had fully opened—
And turned black.
Rita: !!!
She immediately shifted half a step sideways, lining herself up directly behind Starsea Deceitful Bloom and QM Deceitful Bloom so that Starsea Deceitful Bloom completely blocked her from view.
Then she whispered nervously:
"What does it mean when Flower of Deceit turns black?"
Starsea Deceitful Bloom leaned her upper body slightly backward and whispered back:
"Extremely angry."
QM Deceitful Bloom sneered.
"You lost to me back then, and you’re still losing now."
"Quiet Mountain Rita only has one teacher."
"I look down on you."
Then she disappeared again.
This time she was genuinely angry enough to leave.
Rita & Starsea Deceitful Bloom: "..."
While they argued, Quiet Mountain Lynx Duke was meanwhile observing Lightchaser.
After a long while, she slowly shook her head and sighed only one word.
"Ah."
Rita & Lightchaser: "..."
Rita internally screamed:
Can this life still continue?!
Foolishness removed her glasses and calmly polished the lenses with an eyeglass cloth that had appeared from nowhere.
Then she sighed.
"Thankfully QM Foolishness is dead. Otherwise there’d be even more talking."
Cinders smiled gently and nodded.
"Thankfully I don’t have a copy."
Once Quiet Mountain Lynx Duke finally left too, Rita immediately declared:
"Pick whatever rooms you want and stay wherever."
The moment she finished speaking, the sound of waves rose behind her.
Just like before, when she could leave the ship floating on the river of time while carrying the helm around herself—
Leaving the ship here did not stop her from using skills.
It merely meant she could not summon a second Cat’s Ideal.
And with a hundred worlds left aboard the ship, these thousands of Starsea gods would absolutely protect them.
They wanted to protect them too.
The moment everyone realized she intended to run away, several people moved simultaneously.
A fox tail suddenly wrapped around Rita’s wrist.
At the same time, a spear pierced into the ground beside her feet.
A dagger silently pressed against her neck.
And a moonbear stood directly before her, antlers casting shadows across her face. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Mistblade.
Maple Syrup.
Lightchaser.
Cinders.
All acted together.
Rita could have escaped instantly if she truly wanted.
But she still canceled the skill helplessly.
"...What are you doing?"
"You went to Graveyard of Bones. What about us?"
"You can’t just go play games by yourself and dump us here."
"Either personally get rid of your three... no, two extra teachers."
"Or send me to Graveyard of Bones."
Cinders glanced sideways at Lightchaser and lowered the bear paw she had only half raised.
The two "extra teachers" silently looked over.
Rita immediately broke into cold sweat.
"...Whoever recovers over sixty percent max health, just say something in the group chat and I’ll come pick you up?"
After several tense seconds, the fox tail, spear, and dagger were finally withdrawn.
Rita immediately fled.
So quickly she even forgot to bring Nivalis, who was currently sitting beneath Foolishness’s butt.
Every gaze on the scene instantly shifted toward her.
Nivalis: ???
