The moment the snow began to fall, a snowstorm appeared inside the cube in Rita’s hand as well.
Every section touched by the snow became covered in a faint glow.
Rita carefully tried turning the cube.
This time, it worked.
The colors of the walls in every cell had originally been random.
So she directly assigned a fixed color to each face of the cube, then instructed every Warden controlling the outer cells to rotate their cells and align the exterior walls with the designated colors.
Otherwise, she would be stuck solving a cube made of over a hundred million pieces until the end of time.
Amid the falling snow, crisp clicking sounds echoed continuously.
The players gathered here all possessed exceptional execution ability.
Less than a minute later, the six sided cube prison had been fully restored.
At that exact moment, faint mechanical clicks spread throughout the structure.
It sounded as if countless locks had been released simultaneously.
The walls separating cells vanished.
Only misty trails of flame remained, connecting one cell to another.
And that was not all.
From the outermost layers of the prison came waves of astonished exclamations.
The players stationed there had clearly seen something.
Had they seen the outside world?
Or had they seen other prisons?
Foolishness bent down slightly and stared at the prison cube in Rita’s hands.
Her voice was soft.
"It’s nothing short of a miracle."
She was about to say more when she noticed the strange expression on Rita’s face.
Concerned, she nudged her with an elbow.
"What is it?"
"Did something go wrong?"
Rita shook her head.
With her free hand, she gently swept across the space above the cube.
Countless cells drifted apart like petals scattering in the wind.
The center of the prison was finally revealed.
There, floating quietly, was an object.
A ninth tier cube radiating a soft white glow.
Rita stared at it.
Then whispered:
"Moon No. 1."
Was it fate?
She turned toward Foolishness.
Her gaze trembled slightly.
"Fate."
For a moment, she genuinely couldn’t tell whether she had arrived in the past...
Or the future.
Foolishness naturally knew about the moons in the Abandoned Zone.
She also knew that Zaijiu Rita had taken B8017913 away from there.
Conversations between intelligent people rarely required complete explanations.
A few key words were enough.
And Foolishness immediately understood the fear hidden in Rita’s eyes.
Fate had played a cruel joke.
If everything was merely an endless predetermined loop...
Then how could anyone ever escape?
Rita forcibly suppressed the emotions surging inside her.
Time was precious.
There were more urgent matters to handle.
The ninth tier cube contained astonishing reserves of energy.
Through it, she gained access to another million units of soul fire.
More importantly, she could finally sense what lay beyond Prison 8017.
Previously, even World Sigh had been unable to see outside the prison.
An invisible barrier had isolated everything beyond it.
Now that barrier was gone.
StarseaPrisoner: "Do you think stepping outside the prison will make that eye open?"
Ash Inspector: [My calculations suggest that regardless of my answer, you’ll go out and see for yourself.]
Rita couldn’t help laughing.
That was true.
She only wanted an answer from Ash Inspector first.
Then she would verify it herself. freewebnøvel.coɱ
That way she could test both the reliability of Ash Inspector’s statements and the limits of his behavior.
Now that she fully controlled Prison 8017’s authority, she could even save the timeline state of the entire prison.
If the Eye of Surveillance opened, she would simply load a previous save.
A worse outcome would be discovering that loading a save couldn’t erase the record of the eye opening.
But even that would provide useful information.
As for the absolute worst case...
That opening the eye even once would immediately bring disaster upon the Exile Zone.
The probability seemed extremely low.
StarseaPrisoner: "Am I really that easy to understand?"
Ash Inspector: [I calculate and analyze you every second.]
StarseaPrisoner: "That sounds incredibly creepy."
Ash Inspector: [I agree. My Law Program must be malfunctioning because of the Unique Key.]
StarseaPrisoner: "Could you stop talking like..."
Rita paused.
She struggled to find the right description.
The way Ash Inspector spoke was simply bizarre.
Ash Inspector: [Like what?]
StarseaPrisoner: "People where I’m from don’t talk like that."
Ash Inspector: [Doesn’t B80 talk like that either?]
StarseaPrisoner: "...If my little dragon heard you talking like this, she’d start cooking."
Ash Inspector: [That would indicate a lack of logical structure in her programming.]
Rita had no desire to continue the conversation.
The hand supporting the cube flicked upward.
The gaps between the cells widened.
In an instant, the hundred million cube sections shifted apart and scattered across the void.
Gasps erupted everywhere.
Rita and Foolishness looked through the newly opened gaps.
They had prepared themselves mentally.
Yet the sight beyond still stole their breath.
Countless colossal crimson cube prisons floated silently throughout the endless sea of stars.
The prisoners inside likely couldn’t see the outside world.
Just as Rita’s group hadn’t been able to before.
But now the escaped prisoners could see them clearly.
Inside every prison sat countless silent figures.
Some sat quietly.
Some curled into balls on the floor.
Others hugged their knees in lonely corners.
Humans.
Moonfoxes.
Vineborne.
Oak Owls.
Ragtags. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Landscales.
Lightchasers.
Sharkfins.
Wind Whales.
Every player could find members of their own race.
Every one of them sat in silence.
What were they thinking?
The snowfall ended.
Then giant pages of platinum light slowly appeared in space.
One after another.
Together they formed a magnificent bridge stretching between Prison 8017 and the nearest prison.
The voice of the Adjudicator echoed through the stars.
[Epic Quest: Beacon]
[Objective: Lead your soldiers into battle against the Prisoners of another prison. Victory allows you to seize their cells. Players must conquer the target prison within 12 hours.]
[Rewards: The top 1,000 Starsea players by contribution will receive a Divine Talent upgrade. Every three occupied cells grant one reward draw from Ash Prison. Wardens receive 2 Soul Fire wages from Ash Prison every 6 hours.]
[Special Reward 1: At the end of the war, any Warden who conquers cells while recording zero Prisoner kills may draw one SSS Rank Skill from Ash Prison.]
[Special Reward 2: The race that occupies the most cells during this war gains naming rights and administrative control over the next prison.]
Deceitful Bloom stood quietly in her cell and listened to Zaijiu Rita announce the mission.
For the first time in a long while, her ever smiling crimson eyes became as gentle as still water.
She stared toward the distant prison.
Toward the Vineborne imprisoned inside.
Then suddenly she spoke.
"Are you still afraid of the name Beacon?"
As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly.
Cicada had appeared behind her at some point.
"No."
Cicada answered honestly.
"Zaijiu Rita already made save files for every Vineborne."
Every trace of sentiment that had been building inside Deceitful Bloom instantly vanished.
She took a deep breath.
Then muttered:
"...You should spend less time with her."
???
Then why are you the one learning how to paint from her every day?
That was what Cicada thought.
But what she actually said was:
"Right! I never liked hanging out with her anyway!"
Mistblade happened to be passing through a neighboring cell.
She glanced over with visible confusion.
[Mistblade (Starsea)]: Rita, Cicada says she doesn’t even like spending time with you.
After reading the message, Cicada froze.
???
Who corrupted Mistblade?
Since when did she learn how to snitch?
