The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　There's nothing we can do; the House of Lords is currently in the lead.

　If you help the player with the highest score to fight the player with the second highest score, wouldn't that widen the score gap even further?

　The Fool's Academy currently ranks fourth in points, but when combined with the points converted from academic credits, it can rank third.

　They played steadily and had a clear goal: to keep the points gap from widening and to hold onto the lead.

　Of course, it would be even better if we could snag that super-large rare treasure chest and instantly boost our academy points to the highest level.

　The Fools' House hasn't fought such a rich battle in a long time.

　This year, several powerful students have emerged from the Fool's House, and everyone is secretly working hard to compete for the Academy Cup.

　Edwin was struggling to cope and was on the verge of running out of options.

　The dragon boss was utterly useless, nearing death under Winnie Skadi's relentless bombardment. The treasure chest it guarded behind emitted a brilliant light, drawing everyone's attention.

　……

　The perspective suddenly shifts.

　In another projection, two third-year members of the Noble Academy received the signal secretly released by Edwin and suddenly accelerated to get there.

　However, another group of fourth-year students from the Knights Academy nearby heard the commotion and rushed over.

　According to the route, the two sides will meet at the next corner.

　Angelie, who escaped the pursuit of the third-year students of the Fool's House thanks to Joey's rearguard action, discovered a new secret room without being able to reunite with Anna.

　Without hesitation, she crawled inside.

　Anna didn't even wait at the agreed location for more than two minutes; she turned around and ran down to a lower level.

　The two little princesses both dreamed of being "lone heroes," and instead of shrinking back after going out alone, they became more and more excited.

　Heidi Euphemia, a third-year student at the Magic Academy, was also alone. She had become separated from her two teammates during a battle and decided to explore on her own. It was then that she encountered a terrifying monster that should not have been on her current floor.

　She didn't back down and drew the card directly.

　Klein, a third-year student at the Fool's House, had been trapped in the maze for half an hour, but he had already found a way to solve it.

　Shrek Holmes, a sixth-year student at the Knights Academy, was fully armed and wrestling with a humanoid monster. At the end of the cave where he was, there was a crystal treasure chest radiating a seven-colored light, clearly marked with a large number of points.

　"Ah! We've collided!"

　Diana's scream echoed through the palace in the Sky Garden. Although she immediately covered her mouth and cowered like an ostrich, it still attracted the attention of many.

　In the projection, Doron and Rose, third-year students from the Noble Academy, collided with a group of three fourth-year students from the Knight Academy at a crossroads.

　The moment the two made eye contact, they immediately controlled their magical spirits to move forward and entered battle without any further communication.

　During their nearly forty-eight hours of collaboration, Doron and Rose had developed a considerable understanding of each other.

　Doron's resident magical spirit took the lead, and he himself immediately summoned a dragon-hide shield, activating its additional ultimate skill to protect himself and Rose.

　Rose's eyes widened suddenly, starlight surged behind her head, and her body floated up under the blessing of the stars, with the magic cards between her hands radiating brilliant starlight.

　In an instant, countless starlight surged forth, covering the entire passageway before the fourth-year students of the Knight Academy on the opposite side could even react.

　The three fourth-year students from the Knight Academy changed their expressions drastically. One of the female students, who was being protected at the back, almost immediately activated a magic card hidden in her sleeve.

　The next instant, a teleportation array lit up beneath the feet of the three fourth-year students, instantly moving them to a location within their field of vision. Only the magical elf, who had already rushed out of the array's range, remained charging forward, instantly frozen by starlight.

　But just as Duolong relaxed his mind, he suddenly turned his head.

　Sure enough, the three fourth-year students appeared not far behind them.

　He was horrified, but Rose didn't even turn around. Her long hair, with a faint golden tinge, suddenly floated up. The starlight hanging behind her head gathered at the ends of her hair like a tornado, making her hair seem to extend instantly. It surged behind her with infinitely dazzling starlight.

　"Armed!"

　The knight academy student standing at the front row suddenly roared, and layers of plate armor materialized. He reached into them and forcefully pulled out a giant shield, which he then fixed in front of him.

　A light resembling the word "Defend" shone on the giant shield. But the next second, it was pierced by starlight, which pushed it backward along with the shield.

　"Roar!"

　A massive magical elf roared and charged out, presumably using its body to cut off the surge of starlight.

　"go!"

　The knight academy student wielding the giant shield suddenly shouted.

　Inverted arrows immediately appeared beneath their feet, and white light surged from below their shoulders, dragging them rapidly backward until they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

　The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

　However, if both sides are "heroes," then it comes down to a clash of raw strength. The fourth-year students of the Knights Academy are actually brave enough, but they are slightly lacking in raw strength.

　However, it is quite remarkable that they were able to recognize the difference in strength during the brief confrontation and ultimately choose to retreat to preserve their lives, which is different from the "reckless" impression that the Knights Academy usually gives people.

　However, the most dazzling character in this battle was Rose Flora, who seemed to be possessed by the "Goddess of Stars".

　Diana was thrilled to see Rose's outstanding performance. Dark also smiled with satisfaction.

　But they did not notice that a god was looking at Rose with an unusual expression.

　And it wasn't just one.

　Artemis had actually noticed this girl long ago; in her heart, Rose and Eudora were roughly of similar importance.

　Unfortunately, Rose had already been reserved by the "Goddess of Stars," so Chi didn't waste his efforts to invite her.

　The "Goddess of Stars" is an extremely special goddess, even in the eyes of the warriors.

　His birth even predates the twelve Porobos gods, and he is said to be a "manifestation of the imagery of the stars," that is, a god born naturally from the rules of the world.

　Such deities typically do not have a fixed form; they can only condense their divine bodies through mortal beliefs after a belief system has been established.

　Therefore, the "Goddess of the Stars" must leave behind a "legend" to solidify her image.

　Both deities who attain godhood through faith and those who achieve it rely on faith on different levels.

　Once the faith disappears and the legend vanishes, his physical image will completely disappear and can only be reshaped through "reincarnation".

　In the process of "reincarnation", the "Goddess of Stars" must go through the growth process from human to god.

　During this process, if a malevolent god is encountered, it may be abducted, devoured, and digested.

　Gods like the "Goddess of Stars," who are born naturally from the rules of the world, are like sweet fruits containing the power of those rules.

　Once absorbed and digested, one can directly obtain the robe's authority. Although the "Star Goddess's" stellar authority cannot be digested by just anyone, this also means that any god who harbors ill will towards it must be a high-ranking deity.

　Among the twelve Poirot gods, there was one who once played the role of the "evil god".

　However, in the end, they were severely beaten by the "Will of the World".

　Why is it called the "Will of the World" instead of the "Stardust Warriors" who protect the "Star Goddess"?

　Surely no one really believes that a group of mortals can kill "gods" just by donning divine armor?

　There must be a "world will" behind that.

　Therefore, after that celestial being was defeated, the twelve celestial beings never again had the idea of ​​attacking him.

　Of course, among the twelve gods, Artemis and Apollo already held a portion of the power over the galaxy and had no desire to become the "Goddess of the Stars".

　Over the course of their long lives, they had more or less interacted with the "Goddess of Stars".

　However, there was one among the twelve gods who had a grudge against him, so they could not become close friends.

　As for who that "evil god" is...

　That's right, it's the "Sea God" who's always eyeing the "sky". Limited by his own authority, the "Sea God" Poseidon couldn't grasp the power above the sky through his own understanding, so he intended to acquire it by devouring the "Star Goddess".

　However, that was a long, long time ago. Although the two sides did not "bury the hatchet," there have been no disputes since then.

　The one who truly touched Rose's existence was Aphrodite.

　Aphrodite's expression instantly softened, her smile returning to its usual radiant state. But the ripples in Chi's heart remained, refusing to subside.

　Because the robe sensed the aura belonging to Rose from her soul.

　That trace of aura was extremely well hidden, only leaking out slightly the moment Rose used the power of the stars, but the gods other than the one in the robe still couldn't detect it.

　The aura of the "Goddess of Stars" had completely enveloped her. This was truly an unexpected turn of events, something even Aphrodite herself hadn't anticipated.

　Pao had no recollection of ever leaving behind a "reincarnated clone" in the human world.

　However, the soul of the girl named Rose Florty did contain elements of the robe, albeit very faintly.

　Moreover, after discovering that trace of the soul's secret, he even found that Rose's bloodline was also his, only that the trace of bloodline was much fainter and no different from that of a human.

　Even if there is only a trace of soul and bloodline, with the power held by the robe, even a trace can make it multiply and grow stronger.

　If Sleeve hadn't already awakened and had the path to complete revival through "Magic Path," she might have used that trace of her own essence to completely transform Rose into her "reincarnation"!

　But now, there is really no need for it.

Chapter 1682 Darkdemon and Zeus's Great Nation-Building Project (5k)

　In any case, Rose is now a chosen one under the protection of the "Goddess of Stars." Even Aphrodite cannot easily transform her into her "reincarnation."

　Furthermore, Aphrodite has absolutely no reason to clash with the "Goddess of Stars" over the ownership of such a tiny "component." Therefore, this "side storyline" is essentially impossible.

　However, going back further, if there were no "Magic Path" and no "Goddess of the Stars"...

　Fortunately, there are no "what ifs".

　Rose and Doron, who had successfully driven back the Knights Academy team, did not linger. They immediately headed to the location of the super-large rare treasure chest.

　However, a slight shift in perspective reveals that the fourth-year team from the Knights Academy did not give up their investigation. They circled around, concealed their presence, and also rapidly approached the coordinates.

　However, they were ultimately too late.

　When they arrived, the ownership of the enormous rare treasure chest had already been decided.

　Rose and Doron's arrival completely shattered the balance of power among the three parties.

　Everything happened in a flash.

　With the giant dragon boss guarding the treasure chest blasted to smithereens, the three-person team from the sixth year of Fool's House immediately shifted their target and rushed toward the treasure chest.

　Their actions were premeditated. One team member piloted a magical spirit towards the treasure chest, while another team member instantly activated a "Field Card" to change the terrain and block the advance of the Noble Academy and the Magic Academy. Finally, the last team member launched a powerful attack, using offense as a form of defense.

　This area has spatial interference, so teleportation is not possible. However, changes in terrain can definitely slow you down, making it the cheapest way to block.

　However, the noble academy squad led by Edwin and the magic academy squad led by Winnie were also well-prepared.

　Edwin's magical spirit instantly transformed into an elemental torrent of water, rushing towards the treasure chest and passing directly through the rapidly changing terrain. It then transformed into a giant hand and swiftly grabbed at the Fool's House contestant.

　Winnie Skadi, meanwhile, manipulated her magical spirit to unleash her long-awaited ultimate attack.

　The already extremely low temperature around them plummeted instantly, and ice crystals appeared on the surface of the water elemental magic sprite.

　Just as the contestants from the Fool's House were about to touch the treasure chest, a giant ice lotus suddenly bloomed from beneath it.

　The contestant from the Fool's House paled in shock, instantly retreating using the reverse force of his magical spirit. However, his magical spirit was pierced by the ice lotus and frozen in an instant.

　The treasure chest located atop the ice lotus was frozen into an ice coffin amidst the freezing air.

　With more players joining the fray, the Fool's House team quickly became the target of a joint attack from the Noble House and the Magic House.

　In that instant, Rose and Doron happened to step into this area. The enormous treasure chest, frozen inside the ice coffin, immediately came into view. Without the slightest hesitation, the two chose to attack.

　Doron's lizard-type magical spirit charged directly into the arena, unleashing a burst of scorching flames that melted the ice coffin.

　Rose suddenly stretched her right hand forward, her figure blurring in that instant, and immediately a star-studded humanoid phantom floated out from her body.

　The starlight phantom unleashed a starlight path, its form transforming into a swimming fish, swiftly gliding along the path until it arrived before the treasure chest in the blink of an eye. Flames and ice crystals collided around it, and high-temperature steam filled the air, but none of this could harm it.

　It suddenly reached out and grabbed the treasure chest through the melting ice coffin. In the next instant, endless starlight burst forth from its hand, illuminating the entire area, reflecting a sea of ​​stars both above and below.

　"Click."

　The lock on the treasure chest was forcibly broken.

　With another lift, it opened the treasure chest. Points were immediately credited to the account.

　The ownership of treasure chest points is determined simply by who opens it. As for the competition for the treasures inside, that is irrelevant to this competition.

　The starlight phantom released by Rose was immediately covered by various ultimate moves and disappeared into starlight after the treasure chest was opened.

　Her face paled slightly, and she took a step back. A humanoid magical spirit emerged from beneath her feet and supported her.

　"It seems we've arrived just in time!"
