However, this time Bai Ye was not easily persuaded.
"I've had a vague feeling about this for a while now... What exactly are you planning to do with this incident?"
Bai Ye felt she had found the crux of the matter and spoke with righteous indignation, but she regretted it as soon as she asked the question.
Alpha managed to suppress his laughter, while Omega next to him immediately revealed a smug expression of triumph.
Bai Ye felt as if he had suddenly been drawn into something incredible.
Chapter 819 Showdown
Outside in Germany, in front of the door of Ymir's research lab, Yan looked around.
Although he was only gone for a few days, returning after experiencing so many thrilling things always felt like a lifetime had passed.
According to Rainbow Bird, Flame seems to be a guy called Halloween Queen who inexplicably granted sovereignty over the sun and forcibly inserted it into the competition.
The reason I was able to come back this time was because I asked the other party for help... It's not during the competition period now, so even if I ask for help, I don't have to pay the price within the rules.
"Is this Mr. Yan's laboratory for researching stellar particle particles?"
Behind him was an extra guest.
The Medici girl looked around with the curiosity of a real young girl.
Because of Yan's request, the other party finally stopped addressing him, a peer, as "Your Excellency," and it seemed that she had grasped the boy's attitude as a result. In their subsequent interactions, Misia behaved much more like a "girl."
Even so, while Ayaka, who was usually quite carefree, was fine, Ayaka was still very wary of this suddenly appearing mysterious guest.
For Flame, it was a good thing that the rainbow bird could help keep an eye on the girl... He didn't completely trust the bird either.
However, he cannot miss the opportunity to gain assistance.
Even Rainbow Bird had no objection to this... The funding their family could provide was not unlimited, and such support was naturally always welcome for the research itself.
Flame then took Misia directly into the research institute.
The research institute did not seem to have stopped operating despite the sudden disappearance of its leader. Of course, it couldn't have been because the commercial spy James had taken pity on them and made arrangements before leaving. It was probably because Rainbow Bird had already given them some instructions.
When the group arrived at the reception room, Misia clearly didn't care much about their wariness. After a polite conversation, they took their seats.
Then Flame exhaled.
"Then, Miss Misia, please explain about breaking through to the third match."
"Um……"
"boom!"
Just as Misia was about to speak, the door to the reception room, which had been casually closed by Rainbow Bird, was rudely pushed open.
"Wow, this place looks quite lively."
"Sixteenth Brother?!"
During an uncertain conversation, her anchor suddenly appeared, and Yan's eyes lit up with excitement.
After finally finding Suzuka and Ayatori from Asterius, he couldn't find Izayoi and the others, so he had to ask the newly appointed King Minos to deliver a message, which fortunately arrived in time.
Misia seemed genuinely startled by the commotion, but she quickly recovered and hurriedly stood up to offer her greetings.
"You must be Lord Izayoi..."
"Wait, let's skip the formalities. I've already heard about it from Asterius."
Izayoi waved her hand.
"So, I'll just consider you an ally of the Third War... no, a guide."
"The guide?"
The strange term prompted Flame to ask a question.
"Hmm, Flame probably doesn't know yet, but the rules for the next match have already been released."
Izayoi placed several sheets of parchment on the table, and Homura picked them up casually.
"Well... the participants are the survivors of the first competition. Those who withdraw midway will be subject to additional penalties. The competition will be held outside the world and requires a 'guide' from the outside world. Participants are allowed to seek assistance from this guide. In addition, unless they are threatened, they cannot endanger the lives of humans outside the world, leave their blessings outside the world, or use the simulated creation map. Anyone who violates any of the above rules will be disqualified from the competition and forcibly expelled from the outside world."
So far, everything is going quite normally.
Then Yan's eyes widened slightly.
"In principle, the starting point is... the early stages of the development of the 'Environmental Control Tower'..."
After staring at that line of text for a few seconds, Yan forced herself to continue.
Next are the most important victory and defeat conditions.
The conditions for failure include all the previously mentioned prohibitions, such as not receiving assistance from a guide, and not possessing sovereignty over the star after the event ends; in short, it's quite normal.
And the conditions for victory...
"To restore the glory to the crown that has lost its light... and trigger a 'historical transition'?"
Here it comes, the rules that don't speak human language.
I had heard Izayoi mention this as a tradition of the Little Garden before, but this was the first time Homura had witnessed it.
At least the conditions for winning the first game were clear, but no hints were given.
As it turned out, not only were there no hints given, but the conditions themselves were also unclear.
However, this time someone provided the answer directly.
"I'll be frank, the victory condition is to assassinate the Grand Master."
"what?!"
Misia's serious statement, delivered without even glancing at the parchment, left Yan speechless with her mouth agape.
He didn't know much about religion, but he did know the meaning of the title 'Papal'.
Not only him, but also Ayano and Suzuka looked surprised.
Even Izayoi raised an eyebrow, but seemed to have been prepared for this conclusion.
He just rubbed his temples and sighed.
"Then please tell me in detail, Miss Medici?"
……
……
"Oh, I didn't know that was the case..."
Byakuya struck a thoughtful pose, fanning himself with an open folding fan in one hand, while pressing down on Kurima, whose face clearly read 'I'm very interested,' with the other.
Then, in the next instant, the folding fan that was originally held by the Protoss crashed through the wall at supersonic speed and flew into the sky.
Accompanying this was the roar of the White Night.
"Yeah, right! Do you think I'd just accept this calmly?!"
The two goddesses, who had calmly dodged the attack, remained expressionless.
“What we have said is not untrue.”
"Amidst this decadence, there remains a threat that we cannot withstand."
"Therefore, we must gather all available forces to unite against the enemy."
“A ‘completed sand garden’ is indispensable.”
The two goddesses stood expressionless, each saying a sentence... This was their old trick for fooling others back in the day; it's an outdated tactic in today's miniature gardens.
However, bringing out this model again actually proves their seriousness.
Bai Ye pressed his temples.
"You just said... that enemy's scale is above that of the Little Garden?"
"A sand garden is an order formed by integrating order."
"But that—does not need integration; it is order in itself."
This back-and-forth exchange made Bai Ye's hair stand on end.
"Whether it's human language, mythology, or Protoss, just speak in a language I can understand."
"In short, they are a very strong enemy."
Omega is straightforward.
"In terms that even you can understand, it is a miniature garden that integrates countless miniature gardens and other worlds, yet does not require the organization of their order."
After sighing, Alpha began to explain in detail.
"What is that...?"
Although Bai Ye wanted to complain, the scale of the enemy mentioned by the two goddesses made her feel alarmed.
"If such an enemy really exists, then there's simply no way to resist, right?"
Those in high positions within this miniature garden can easily destroy any world beneath it. If we extrapolate from this, the enemies mentioned by the two goddesses could also easily destroy the miniature garden.
"It's not that simple; they're different from us."
"Yes, her scale is indeed large, but she has a chance of winning."
"..."
Bai Ye squinted. Although the two goddesses' words sounded terrifying, she didn't know where their 'chance of winning' lay. However, everyone present, including herself, was still at the top of this little garden. Whether it was the wind of decadence or this new enemy, they wouldn't back down for an enemy they hadn't even seen yet.
But there is still one thing that Bai Ye doesn't understand.
"So you're trying to drag me into this... No, if the target was Hakoniwa, I wouldn't have stayed out of it in the first place. But how did Hakoniwa end up getting involved with someone like that?"
So the two goddesses then turned their attention to Orpheus, who had remained silent from the beginning.

"What is certain is that the Papal States do not support the development of stellar particle bodies."
