I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Jill narrowed her eyes. What was the other party planning?

During this time, Izayoi whispered to Mandela, who was standing behind her, "I said, what level of behavior qualifies as an improper situation in the game?"

“…You don’t even know this kind of thing and you still dare to come along?” Mandela clicked his tongue in disbelief.

"You probably know that the participants' lack of ability or knowledge doesn't mean the game itself is flawed. Whether it's being ordered to kill the undead or being required to fly, the problem lies with those who can't do it. In this case, even if the knowledge passed down from 'The Pied Piper of Hamel' is needed to crack the game, it's still 'the participants who don't understand it are at fault'."

"Oh? That's really unreasonable."

“If we’re talking about potential shortcomings in this game, the first one is the seal on the White Demon. Although the contract states that she ‘participated,’ she is unable to ‘combat.’ This cannot be ignored; there should be a written explanation for this,” Mandela said in a low voice.

"However, all that was written was the sentence, 'Break down the false tradition and establish the true tradition.'" Izayoi fell into deep thought.

Their conversation ended there.

After meditating for a while, Black Rabbit lowered its head in embarrassment.

"...They have received the reply from the Little Garden. There was nothing wrong or improper in this game. Lord White Demon's seal was also formed using legitimate methods."

The sound of gritting teeth echoed in the VIP room, because this answer would undoubtedly put the current contestants at a disadvantage.

“That’s the obvious outcome. So, let’s leave the rules as they are; the question is when the game will restart,” Pest said.

Everyone was stunned.

Are you kidding me?

Black Rabbit initiated the deliberation resolution just to buy time, right?

By suggesting that the game not start immediately, Pest is essentially giving the contestants time to solve the puzzle.

Does this mean that Pest is not afraid of the game's victory conditions being cracked at all?

Only Jill, standing behind, blinked briefly, her gaze turning icy.

This guy... clearly wants to...

"I want to ask the judge in charge what is the latest possible date for the resumption of proceedings?"

"The...the slowest? Uh...in this case...a month, I guess?"

"Then, let's use one month as the unit—"

"and many more!"

"Wait!"

"Please wait!"

[No name] All three representatives spoke up, stopping Black Rabbit's actions.

"Huh? Huh?" Black Rabbit was stunned.

"That's why I said it's troublesome. This kind of game, which is "completely easy," is taking a whole month to continue—"

Jill's face showed deep displeasure. "It's annoying."

Chapter 459 A high-stakes gamble using one's own treasure trove!

Gil's words made Pest look directly at him.

“What’s wrong? Am I wrong, Black Death Lord?” Jill raised an eyebrow. “Because I’ve gathered all the information about this game from the very beginning. Just now, I cracked the condition in the game: ‘Break the false legacy and establish the true legacy.’”

“…” Pest’s eyes darkened. “Are you kidding me?”

“While I do enjoy joking, I…” Jill’s eyes darkened slightly, “I won’t joke about something that involves everyone’s lives.”

"And can you defeat me?" Jill looked at Pest with a half-smile. "Or do you want me to expose your game right here and now and force you to change the rules?"

Finally, a murderous intent towards Jill appeared in Pest's expression.

"Furthermore, based on what you said to me before—'Do you want to join my community?'—we can infer that your community is probably a newly formed one. Oh, and another thing, it's said that the Demon King who led [Grimm Grimoire Hameln] has passed away. From these two points, we can infer two more things—first, your community is a newly formed one and needs a lot of talent; second, you are a completely new Demon King."

Jill's upturned lips and the confident smile on her face, as if she had everything under control, made Pest even more annoyed.

"So what...?!"

“Let’s negotiate,” Jill said. “If you want talent, then restart the game in three days.”

“…So what? That’s not a reason for us to back down,” Pest said, staring at Jill.

“No, it’s a reason. Because you should want to acquire talent like us without any casualties. If we leave the participants unattended for a month, we’ll all die…right, Sandra?” Ren picked up where Jill left off and continued.

"Huh? Ah... um." The topic suddenly shifted to herself, prompting Sandra to respond reflexively.

Although she later tried to correct herself in a panic, Ren didn't listen to her and continued to state: "That's right, 'if they die, we can't acquire talent,' which is why you chose this time to make negotiations. Because you can't bear to lose those outstanding talents who will actually die in thirty days." Ren said firmly.

Although it was only for this one time, Ren had absolute confidence in his answer.

Even so, Pest remained unconvinced, replying, "I'll say it again, so what? We have the right to decide when to restart. Even if it's not a month... twenty days, as long as we restart the game after twenty days, we can bring back the talent who died before..."

“Then we shall kill all participants who show symptoms,” Mandela said directly.

Everyone was startled and turned to look at Mandela. His eyes were very serious.

"There are no exceptions, whether it's Sandra or the [Little Garden Nobles]... even myself. Among the comrades of the [Salamandra], the rulers of the hierarchy, there are no weaklings who would surrender to the Demon King!"

Even if it's just bluffing, it's still an overly radical declaration.

Jill simply listened without intervening; sometimes, overly radical declarations can make the other party feel constrained.

However, Izayoi had a sudden inspiration and continued speaking Mandela's words.

"Black Rabbit, is it still possible to change the rules now?"

"Huh... Ah, YES!"

The black rabbit seemed to sense something and forcefully straightened its ears.

"Come and negotiate, Black Death Demon King. We're willing to add a rule prohibiting suicide or killing of comrades. In return, you can't attack us during the suspension period. So, we'll resume in three days."

“No, two weeks.” Pest refused without hesitation.

"Add Black Rabbit, allow Black Rabbit to participate in the war, and the game will restart in three days!" Jill directly used Black Rabbit as a bargaining chip.

Black Rabbit was originally a referee, so according to the rules, he was not allowed to participate in the battle for fifteen days.

However, Black Rabbit can participate in the battle if the organizers agree.

“Black Rabbit is a noblewoman from the Little Garden. Because she’s not a participant, you can’t win her over, but now you’re allowing her to participate, and the time has been shortened to three days from now!” Jill said, her eyes gleaming.

The Black Death has an incubation period of only two days. In order to ensure that everyone can maintain their best combat effectiveness, the best time to start is to restart immediately. However, the enemy is definitely not stupid, so we can only choose to wait three days... This is the only way.

“Ten days, no less,” Pest said, narrowing her eyes.

"..." Just a little bit more, Jill. Think of a way to restart the game in three days!

correct!

The saying goes, "Man dies for licking a bag"... wrong, man dies for money, birds die for food.

So……

Jill closed her eyes.

Then, countless golden ripples appeared in the air.

The intense aura emanating from above moved everyone except [No name].

“Add these!” Jill bluntly stated, “These are all weapons imbued with divine power. Use these to shorten the time to three days for the explanation!”

"Hiss—" Everyone gasped in shock.

What is divinity? It's the goal of every community in the miniature garden!

Weapons imbued with divine power possess immense strength; such things are extremely rare and hard to come by!

And if it's just one item, that's fine.

However, Gil Guangguang alone displayed more than forty items!

What does forty divine weapons even mean? After all those weapons are used up, who knows how much intact land will be left on a continent?!

“That kid… he’s practically showing off his wealth…” Mandela said, looking at the divine weapons with astonishment.

"I possess over a thousand divine weapons!" Jill stated bluntly. "If you're willing to let time restart in three days, all these weapons will be yours after we're defeated!"

“Little guy…” Izayoi narrowed his eyes.

Jill, is this an attempt to save them all?

“…” Pest fell silent.

Those thousands of divine weapons were an unexpected bonus...

However, Pest was still skeptical of Jill's claim that she had already cracked the Gift Game.

“Five days, that’s the bare minimum,” Pest said.

"Deal!" Jill slammed her hand on the table.

I never expected the spotted little girl in front of me to agree to restart the game in three days, so five days would be enough!

Pest looked at Jill and said with a beautiful smile that bloomed like a flower, "I declare that I will absolutely make you—my toy."

In the end, she lost to Jill in the negotiations.

A fierce rage flashed in her eyes. A strong black wind swept by, causing the participants to cover their faces. The organizer, the Black Death Demon King, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a black contract document.
