Chapter 282: The Smile on Her Face Turns Increasingly Twisted

The Holy Grail merged into takumi's body.

His power grew slightly once more.

At the same time, a mission completion notification appeared in the group chat.

Group Message: [Congratulations to group members... for completing the mission.] [takumi has earned 150,000 points.] [shiroyasha has earned 60,000 points.] [Zhongli has earned 15,000 points.] [Boros has earned 15,000 points.] [Houraisan Kaguya has earned 15,000 points.] [Heita has earned 10,000 points.] [Himeko has earned 10,000 points.] [Miori Shiba has earned 10,000 points.] [Matou Sakura has earned 3,000 points.] [Raiden Mei has earned 3,000 points.] [Bronya has earned 3,000 points.] [Suoh Mikoto has earned 3,000 points.] [Ais has earned 3,000 points.] [Congratulations to group member 'takumi' for acquiring: World Travel Gate.]

takumi alone took half the points and the World Travel Gate.

Then shiroyasha got 60,000 points.

Zhongli, Boros, and the others received 15,000 each.

Matou Sakura and Bronya were awarded the group's minimum guarantee—3,000.

Houraisan Kaguya: [Wuhu, takeoff!] [That's amazing!!]

This time, Kaguya was thrilled. She had unexpectedly received 15,000 points.

Fujiwara Chika: [So jealous!!] [Even the guaranteed minimum is 3,000!!]

Seeing the minimum score, Chika was truly envious. She had thought it would only be 1,000. But it turned out to be so much more?

And the missions they completed only earned them 2,000 each.

Isn't this too ridiculous? Even the guaranteed minimum score is more than what they got?

Damn, had they known, they would've joined the others to enjoy the minimum guarantee.

takumi: [I've never cared about points. I'm not interested in points.] [You all shouldn't fixate on points so much either.] [Improving your own abilities is what truly matters.] [You've probably improved quite a lot recently, haven't you?] [Isn't that something worth celebrating? That's far more important than points.] [You have to realize—this growth can't be bought with points.]

As he said this, the corners of takumi's mouth lifted into a faint smile. He began to comfort everyone in the group chat.

Seeing his message, everyone was speechless.

Fujiwara Chika: [What nonsense!!] [If it's about training, I can do that in your world daily. Fighting zombies is so boring!] [(?へ?╬)] [Are you trying to gaslight me?]

Training, my foot. That's nonsense!! They didn't need that kind of training.

takumi laughed at her reaction.

While everyone was chatting, shiroyasha returned. And with her came the War God.

"That felt great." "Altair is truly impressive." "Now that the mission is over, I'm heading back." "Remember to visit Little Garden next time!" "I'm going to strengthen myself now."

shiroyasha couldn't wait to take the War God back.

She had fought him.

And she was excited by his ability to grow stronger mid-battle.

During their fight, the War God's strength had increased significantly.

He was constantly evolving—this trait was amazing.

It was as if he had been born solely for combat.

That's why shiroyasha fought him for so long.

Now, if the War God were sent to Little Garden, he could likely reach triple-digit rankings.

Given time to develop, he could become even stronger.

If it weren't for shiroyasha's many techniques, she might've actually lost.

After all, she herself wasn't yet in perfect form.

But now, with so many points in hand, she could fully heal her divine core.

That was the best part.

Next up: two rounds of enhancement.

At this moment, the corners of shiroyasha's mouth were twitching like an uncontrollable AK.

A stronger demon lord was returning.

If she repaired her divine core and enhanced herself twice more,

she might reach the single-digit ranks.

How could she not be thrilled at that thought?

As the primordial star who governed the total mass of the universe,

her strength was unquestionable.

Later, she was also granted the divine core spoken of by Dazai,

making her one of humanity's ultimate trials.

Her domain was second only to the Decadent Wind.

Though as human history evolved, her core had been gradually compressed,

eventually disqualifying her from being humanity's final trial.

But the chat group didn't play by those rules.

With enhancements, everything could be restored.

Just healing alone was enough to return her to full strength.

Then with enhancements...

Tsk, tsk, tsk!!!

Just thinking about it made her excited.

"Going back to enhance?" "I suggest you finish the enhancements before heading back." "Otherwise, it might be troublesome once you're there." "If you enhance over there, the whole of Little Garden will know." "So why not strengthen yourself here first?" "Then go back and act like a pig to eat the tiger." "That way, you can reclaim your solar authority."

takumi grinned as he offered advice.

He suggested shiroyasha stay low-key.

Enhance first, then return.

Then she could gradually deal with her enemies.

Listening to him, shiroyasha blinked.

"Good point!!"

She agreed with takumi.

That's right—she should enhance first, then return.

Then conceal her power for a while...

She was well aware of what was coming in Little Garden.

With that in mind, her face twisted into a wicked grin.

Without hesitation, she opened the group chat and began madly purchasing healing powers.

No hesitation at all.

Watching her, takumi froze.

So decisive??

He muttered inwardly, then under the gaze of everyone,

shiroyasha's aura grew ever stronger.

takumi immediately shielded everyone present.

The others, sensing her rising power, were all shocked.

Especially the War God—he stared at her intently.

What was happening?

shiroyasha was growing stronger by the second?

This strange development left the War God utterly stunned.

At this moment, shiroyasha had purchased healing nine times in a row.

Only then did she completely restore her divine core.

"Hehehehe..." "This feeling—I've missed it so much!!"

shiroyasha was elated.

This sensation was absolutely wonderful.

The power of her prime state!

One word—ecstasy!!

Glancing at everyone, she wasted no time and began enhancing herself.

All 11,000 of her points were poured into it.

She had never enhanced before.

This was the perfect opportunity!!

As she operated, the aura she exuded became even more terrifying.

The entire world began to tremble.

takumi's Holy Grail reacted violently, notifying him incessantly.

"Hiss~!" "Ah~!" "So satisfying!" "Hehehe... Hahaha!!!"

Feeling the power coursing through her, shiroyasha was overjoyed.

Strange sounds erupted from her petite frame.

This feeling of omnipotence—was simply too amazing.
