In front of him, the Halloween Queen, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, tilted her head slightly.

Chapter 791 Against Order

In the void, above the continent of Atlantis, an elegant aerial garden slowly floats around the continent.

This garden, which can be found in historical records, is not unfamiliar to the Little Garden as the base of the Skywing race, the rulers of the Northern District. It was also used as the front-line command post of the Sky Army when fighting against Azdakar, which greatly increased its exposure.

In fact, after that battle, the garden has been orbiting Atlantis like a satellite, serving a surveillance and rapid response function.

But today, this garden, which was once filled with various weapons, has finally been put to its true purpose as a garden.

"boom!"

The petite figure crashed through the wall and flew out, but the entire room, which was already used to this scene, was still filled with cheerful sounds.

"...Seriously, while dragons can get drunk, I never thought that guy would actually get drunk..."

In order to match the age of the banquet, Byakuya adjusted her appearance to that of a young girl. After knocking away Kurima who pounced on her for the third time, she sighed helplessly.

"Hey~ She seems really enthusiastic, wouldn't it be better to accept that passionate feeling a little?"

"Stop rambling. Don't pretend to be so innocent. I can't handle this kind of passion that's heavier than the world itself."

Bai Ye responded unhappily to the Halloween Queen beside him, whose eyes were filled with a smile and whose face rarely showed a bit of mischief.

As one of the main participants in the last Star Sovereignty War, it seems only natural that she would appear in this game... However, as far as Baiye knows, the Halloween Queen is not participating this year.

In other words, they did not contact their own agent.

"Speaking of which, you..."

Just as Bai Ye was about to ask this question, the noble queen, who was also a Sun Star Spirit like Bai Ye, took a quicker sip from the transparent wine glass she was holding.

"Hmm... After all, it's a divine wine treasured by the Heavenly Army. It's probably been adjusted to suit the preferences and properties of dragons. It's quite normal for that guy to get drunk."

Despite saying this, the Halloween Queen couldn't hide the eerie anticipation on her face as she took another sip of the 'Dragon God Wine' in her hand.

"However, although it's probably an offering used by some community known for its brewing to curry favor, given the personalities of the leaders of the three major factions in the Heavenly Army, they probably wouldn't even touch such a thing. This is a rare opportunity..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye's eyes widened as he realized something. Ignoring his earlier question, he stiffly turned his gaze to the other end of the banquet hall.

The Monkey King, like a waiter, walked with a smile to a girl sitting in a corner looking bored and as if she were being ostracized, carrying a tray full of delicacies. Although there was a hint of respect in his expression, whether it was feigned or not, the monkey tail sticking out and wagging behind him basically told the story of the little monkey's mood.

"Don't make that face, Master. Here, please enjoy."

The little monkey handed the tray to Orpheus, whose face seemed to say, "Why am I here?"

Orpheus, with his eyes half-closed, glanced at the large hole that Kurima had just created, then looked at the most conspicuous wine on the tray, which shone with a crystal-clear luster, before picking it up.

...These guys made no attempt to hide their intentions, but to be honest, she was also a little curious whether the wine would have any effect on her.

Although a simple analysis would yield a general result, it's definitely better to add a touch of romance in situations like this...

"and many more!"

Just then, the wine glass in Orpheus's hand disappeared with a sharp shout, and was then poured into his mouth by Bai Ye.

"Hoo... Ha!"

Without any regard for appearances, Bai Ye downed the entire glass of wine in one gulp, instantly feeling the resentful gazes from all directions... including those of the two goddesses who were pretending to chat not far away and the World Dragon that had just climbed back.

"Damn it, Kurima is being incredibly stupid. Who knows if this guy's arrival will awaken the Demon King below?!"

Unlike others, Byakuya, who had suffered greatly at the hands of Kurima, did not want any more trouble.

“Eh────”

Although the primordial protoss was clearly making up an excuse, what he said was true, and the others still looked away in disappointment amidst long, undisguised expressions of dissatisfaction.

Orpheus didn't think he would go on a drunken rampage that would wake Gaia Mozi up, and he narrowed his eyes in a somewhat disgruntled protest.

"It was Bai Ye who dragged me here."

If it weren't for the sheer boredom of this place, Orpheus would never have entertained such a pointless idea as wanting to experience the taste of a beverage.

"Well... I'll have to come back eventually anyway, so I might as well experience it early."

Bai Ye chuckled dryly, glancing around the hall, which seemed too empty for the group.

This place is scheduled to host the 'sponsors' of the Star Sovereignty game—that is, the clients—in about a week, at which time many exceptional individuals may gather here.

Representatives from the Twelve Guardian Deities, the little monkey's siblings, and Greek and Norse mythology will likely be present.

Bai Ye felt that even Orpheus would be in that kind of situation...

"No, I don't intend to attend."

"So that's how it is..."

They really don't even give face to the gods of the miniature garden.

Bai Ye's lips twitched, then he sighed.

"But regardless of whether you attend the banquet or not, you still need to stay here just in case."

"Mmm."

Orpheus nodded in agreement.

Once the game officially begins, it is essential to ensure that no mistakes occur. On a battlefield of this scale, even if one could teleport instantly, there is no need to risk having oneself separated by a layer of space.

Even with the help of the Halloween Queen, it would be the same, because conversely, as long as there is another enemy with similar abilities to the Halloween Queen and a stronger spiritual level to hinder them, it can slow down the speed at which others can intervene.

Although its existence has not been confirmed, it is still necessary to take precautions even under the highest level of alert.

"On the other hand, even though it should be the most tense moment, everyone here is more relaxed than ever before."

Just then, Alpha walked over slowly, swirling his wine glass and speaking.

As if to prove her point, the Goddess of Creation now looks quite relaxed.

"Isn't it just a matter of atmosphere? Kurima, that guy whose stance is against us, is actually the happiest one here..."

The little monkey tilted its head.

"Besides, banquets are meant to be relaxing."

"……Too."

The goddess of creation smiled gently and said nothing more.

In theory, even when faced with a trend of this scale, those present should still possess the detachment to withdraw at any moment, and their ease is to be expected.

But Alpha knew very well that everyone present had a reason to fight for it.

Leaving aside Kurima, who's causing all this trouble, the rest probably won't back down an inch.

Especially───

The goddess of creation gently swept her gaze over the dragon goddess girl who had snatched the empty wine glass from Bai Ye's hand and placed it in front of her to examine it.

"Order...?"

Alpha exhaled and exchanged glances with Omega behind him.

Ultimately, the current war is just an appetizer.

"Perhaps this is the last chance to relax."

—Before becoming an enemy of the true order.

The banquet eventually came to an end.

A week has passed quickly.

The Star Sovereignty War has finally officially begun.

Chapter 792 The Starting Point of the Future

"Well... while I can understand that the Celestial Army isn't too interested in this Star Sovereignty War, which is probably just going through the motions, the game content is just too casual."

Izayoi held the game files handed out by the organizers with a look of disgust.

I originally thought things would get more formal once we got to the main competition, but to my surprise, the only condition for passing the level was still a short line of text from Wu Bi.

"'Find the secret of Atlantis'...? It seems even shorter than the preliminary round."

"Those guys were probably too lazy to think of any complicated puzzles... Hmm, thinking about it, it fits the style of that little girl in the black robe."

Kuon Ayatori squinted and complained, while even Izayoi had to admit that the possibility, as Asuka said, was indeed very high.

However, this brevity is actually...

"Did it actually increase the difficulty of the puzzle?"

Izayoi pursed her lips.

Such conditions for solving the problem are too vague, and there are no hints at all. Moreover, Izayoi, who can discover a bunch of anomalies just by casually sensing a few things, does not think that there is only one secret about the land beneath her feet. Whether she has to find them all, find the one buried the deepest, or whether all the secrets actually point to the same answer... these are all unknowns.

"What should we do? We have absolutely no idea what to do."

Kuon Asuka frowned.

A problem with only a title and no description is impossible to solve.

"Do not……"

However, Izayoi shook her head.

"There is a direction to be taken, of course. There is no rush to crack the game now. After all, this game has another purpose. And given the nature of this game, where even the questions are unclear, it is not surprising that the purpose along the way and the clues to crack it are combined together."

"Ah...yes."

Kudo Asuka nodded in agreement after hearing this, while Kasukabe Yo beside her also looked eager to try.

Finding the secret of the lost island is the key to solving the game, but there are other detailed rules as well.

For example, allowing the contestation of star sovereignty among different entities.

If robbery is permitted, then violence is naturally not prohibited either.

In the traditional sandbox game model, it is a 'test of strength'.

Considering the original purpose of most people participating in this game, this is probably the focus of those who are eager for quick success... In addition, given that this lost continent is not a very safe environment, this game undoubtedly poses a life-threatening danger.
