As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"If that's the case, then I gave you too much credit. So I can honestly apologize. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you as an equal, and I shouldn't have taken a child's game so seriously."

"What exactly happened?" the canary asked, furrowing her neat eyebrows.

In fact, Izayoi Sakamaki already has the answer to this question, but he can't say it out loud.

(This feeling is really awful.)

"Hope others discover you?"—How could that be? Izayoi Sakamaki scoffed, the mere thought giving him goosebumps. But perhaps he shouldn't laugh, after all, it was himself five years ago. But speaking of which, he'd really changed a lot in those five years.

The canary leaned back forcefully, spreading her arms wide. A strong gust of wind, like a storm raging outside the ruins, billowed her long coat, making her appear enormous despite her petite stature.

"No way? Little Izayoi. The reason you held the game wasn't for such a small and weak reason. The letter you wrote was definitely not a lost child's application, but rather a challenge written under a stronger will."

"......"

"You're looking for a powerful challenger who can rival you, aren't you? This game is meant to find that kind of person. But all the participants are just ordinary people who are no different from passersby... I say, Izayoi Sakamaki. The reason you feel uneasy and angry is not because no one has broken the game, but because you originally wanted to hold a game that would excite and thrill people, but the actual level of the game is too low to succeed."

"Waaaaah...!"

(I was so naive back then, I was so easily swayed, but would I be any better now?)

Izayoi Sakamaki couldn't help but have doubts about this, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Canary was the shadow of his life—he seemed to have never beaten Canary.

With her back to the lightning, the canary began to approach Izayoi Sakamaki step by step.

“I’ll say it again, I am the victor, and you are the vanquished. You were the one who challenged me, and I accepted the challenge. Now that a solution has been found, you have an obligation to praise the victor as the host. Anyone who cannot do this should not have been the host in the first place.”

Knock! Canary, stepping on the heels of her boots, appeared before Izayoi Sakamaki. Despite being a petite woman, her figure now appeared enormous.

"I surrender!" That's what I meant to say, but what came out of my mouth was:

"You mean you want me to admit defeat?"

"That's right. Then, as the organizer, they declare victory for the hacker. That's how the game ends."

"..."

"After your game is over... let's start the next game together."

(If we could really have another match, I would definitely beat you this time!)

The canary continued speaking to itself:

"That's right, it's the next game. Alright, I'll be the host next time. As long as you use the money you've prepared, you can set up a pretty good stage... Hehe, I'll show you what a real host is all about."

"How about it?" the canary asked, tilting her head.

"So... what's the prize for the game?" Although Izayoi Sakamaki already knew.

"prize?"

"Hmm. Since it's a game just for the two of us, we don't need all the preparations we just discussed, right?"

"Hmm, that makes sense... So, shall we leave it at that?"

Canary bent her knees to match Izayoi's eye level.

Then she touched their foreheads together and, in a seemingly mischievous tone, told Izayoi Sakamaki:

“If I win… I can get a son who talks a lot.”

"..."

"If you win... then I'll be your playmate for life. The condition is that I'll also prepare a wonderful place for you to stay."

"How is it?" the canary asked with a smile.

However, knowing the outcome, Izayoi Sakamaki wanted to refuse, but her body obediently agreed.

"There's nothing I can do. You're the winner of this lousy game, Canary."

"Thank you. Now it's my turn to invite you as the host."

After saying this, Canary took Izayoi Sakamaki's hand and led the young boy forward.

The scene ends here.

Looking at himself, now recovered, Izayoi Sakamaki stood there blankly for a while. He touched the corner of his eye.

"What a nasty place."

Izayoi Sakamaki pulled out an envelope that had suddenly appeared in her pocket and looked at the familiar handwriting on it.

"Is this all I wanted?"

"How could that be! I decided on my target a long time ago."

Looking at the towering trees reaching into the clouds in the distance, Izayoi Sakamaki said confidently.

Before this, Izayoi Sakamaki, Asuka Kudo, and Yo Kasukabe had already divided up the tasks.

Kuon Asuka is a creature of fantasy, Kasukabe Yo is a creature of fantasy, and he is in charge of the last of the fantasy trees.

Chapter 306 The Story of Joan of Arc

At this moment, inside the Western-style house.

Abigail was lying on the sofa, watching the images in the bubbles. She found the contestants' comical antics quite amusing.

There are many more bubbles like this throughout the area. Each bubble will randomly play the contestants' information, and people in the area can select the bubble of the person they want to watch.

So, after the game started, Abigail quickly returned home. After all, the game was going to last for three days, and Abigail certainly couldn't stay in the Sky Forest for three days.

"Master, Miss Yan requests your presence."

Just as Abigail was enjoying herself, Leticia came over and said something to her.

"Is Xiaoyan calling me? Okay, I'll go right now."

Upon hearing Leticia's words, Abigail jumped up excitedly and skipped towards Homura's room.

Watching Abigail's retreating figure, Leticia turned around and began cleaning up the food scraps Abigail had left on the sofa.

"Little Flame!!"

Arriving at Homura's room, Abigail pushed open the door and entered. However, Homura was not in the room; a portal to another dimension remained inside.

Abigail stepped into the portal without hesitation, knowing it was left for her by Little Flame.

Entering the portal, Abigail found herself in a phantom space where countless tiny bubbles floated in the air. Abigail walked to Homura's side, looked at the bubbles in front of her, and said:

"Has the target taken the bait?"

"You've taken the bait, but you're really bold to try and use this game to shake the foundations of the gods."

Xiao Yan looked at the image in the bubble and said.

"Since we have this opportunity, we might as well take it. Besides, it can greatly increase the chances of Madoka's arrival."

"Will this really work?"

Xiaoyan was somewhat puzzled; she didn't know how much this method could shake the foundations of the gods. Similarly, she wasn't sure how much this method would increase the likelihood of Xiaoyuan's descent.

"Don't worry, although I don't know if it will work or not, it won't do us any harm anyway."

As Abigail spoke, she reached out and summoned a bubble. Looking at the image inside the bubble, Abigail chuckled and said:

"Now let's see what these believers of the gods will do when they know what the 'truth' about the gods is."

............

At this moment, on a vast grassland, a group of people were unsure of how to proceed.

"Bishop, is it possible to contact the Great Lord?"

At this moment, one of the knights in the group walked up to the bishop and asked him a question.

The bishop in red shook his head:

“No, since I came here, I have not been able to hear the Lord’s voice. I’m afraid we can only rely on our own will to complete the task that the Lord has given us.”

When the protagonist said these words, the group visibly became restless, appearing fearful and insecure without God's protection.

Seeing this scene, the bishop seemed somewhat displeased, and he immediately reprimanded the crowd:

"If the Lord saw you like this, how disappointed He would be! Isn't this situation a test from the Lord? Are you really incapable of anything without His protection? Perhaps the Lord is watching us; don't let Him down!"

"No, that's not it, Your Excellency. We understand. We will not let the Lord down. The Lord will surely bless us."

After being reprimanded by the bishop, the group became even more determined, but they were still confused, since they still didn't know where this place was.

"Captain, I've found something here!"

Just then, a knight not far away suddenly shouted loudly to the group.

"What did you find?"

The knight captain walked over; he was the same person who had been talking to the bishop earlier.

"Captain, I've discovered animal tracks here. Judging from these footprints, they should be from horses, and the tracks are made of horseshoes, so these horses must have been domesticated. And the direction they're heading suggests there's a human settlement nearby."

“Indeed, the Lord is watching over us. I will tell the bishop this news right away.”

The captain immediately returned to the group and told their bishop the news, and the bishop then decided to follow the tracks of the horses.

Having set a goal, the group arrived at a small village.

The villagers seemed somewhat wary of this group.

The bishop seemed oblivious to the villagers' reactions. After ordering his men to stop where they were, he walked over to the villagers himself.

Perhaps it was because of the bishop's kind face, or perhaps because the bishop was walking alone, that the villagers lowered their guard.

"Hello, may I ask where this place is? Can I meet your village chief?"

Upon hearing the bishop's words, the villagers exchanged glances, then parted to the sides, and an elderly man who looked rather frail stepped forward.

"Hello, I am the village chief. May I ask what brings Your Excellency the Bishop to our small village?"

"Actually, we came here to find a truth. The Lord told us that a truth was hidden in the direction we were walking, so we came."

The bishop was right, and in his judgment, the presence of such a village in this unknown place meant it was definitely no ordinary place. If they wanted to know why they had come here, perhaps they should start with this village.

"The truth? So Your Excellency came here following the Lord's instructions! Welcome, welcome!"

Seemingly after understanding the bishop's intentions, the village chief's face brightened, and he quickly greeted the bishop.
