This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 1162: Divine Game Quiet Mountain 45

Each time Rita used her SSS-level skills, the sky would manifest various Celestialkin weather patterns.

In the past, she had only considered these weather effects as visual effects. But after resonating with the Celestialkin’s various weather systems, she realized that these were, in fact, free, no-cost skill libraries.

Whenever the weather changed in the sky, Rita could manipulate it into a skill and send it crashing toward her enemies.

Looking at SS Rita, who, despite sporting two dark circles under her eyes, seemed to grow stronger the more she fought, it became apparent that she was only becoming more energized and determined.

Meanwhile, with every strike from Quiet Mountain’s players, SS Rita was subjected to a soul-deep pain. With each blow, a mask of anguish seemed to form over their faces. Even QM Rita would occasionally adjust her mask with her thumb and middle finger, as if checking to make sure it was still there.

QM Maple Syrup shouted at QM Mistblade, "Isn’t your demon talent working?!"

Mistblade was confused, but QM Rita, understanding the situation, explained, "She’s exploited a loophole in the Demon Game and has looped through the game at least hundreds of thousands of times. Her mental strength has long detached from the divine gift."

Just as her words fell, a massive sword beam, almost a hundred meters long, slashed through the air. The ground of Midsummer was instantly cleaved, leaving behind a bottomless abyss, with QM Frenzied Shark sent plunging into the depths.

But that wasn’t the end. The golden sword beam exploded, splitting into thousands of lightning bolts that shot toward the closest players. Except for Kessa, who was still chasing QM Maple Syrup, all the other Quiet Mountain players were hit.

QM Frenzied Shark, who had just climbed out of the abyss, turned to QM Rita and said, "Isn’t that your skill?"

QM Rita: "Well, it is my copy."

Rita: "..." So Quiet Mountain’s clones did retain all the personalities but only lost the memories?

Otherwise, why else would they still make snarky remarks even at such a crucial battle moment?

But they were also different in some ways. Rita didn’t like fighting alongside so many players, nor did she feel comfortable with it.

But QM Rita was completely at ease. She didn’t seem embarrassed about needing so many people to take down SS Rita, and more importantly, she had a certain level of coordination with these Apostles of God.

The tone of the Quiet Mountain players’ conversations was serious, but not heavy, because they could all smell the flowers.

It wasn’t the scent of SS Rita’s flower sword but rather the scent from QM Cicada and QM Tune’s flowers.

They smelled the flowers, and so did Rita.

Snake bones and clear springs—QM Cicada and QM Tune’s vines were pulling toward her from different directions.

Even though Rita was already struggling to handle the six opponents, having only just kept herself from dying despite using Absurd Story and temporarily hypnotizing Kessa to pull her away from Maple Syrup, taking on the four Apostles of God led by QM Rita was still pushing her to the limit. She could only guarantee her survival, and even that had very little room for error. Any mistake could be catastrophic.

At this moment, Rita knew she couldn’t handle more of the Apostles of God.

She immediately activated the advanced version of Wildfire Reignited.

The technique cost her 10,000 of the 10,037 remaining energy points, leaving her with just 37 points.

But before she could even feel the sting of that expenditure, she heard two system prompts:

[Please set your Second Phase’s activation conditions and keywords for Second Phase burst.]

[Please set your Third Phase’s activation conditions and keywords for Third Phase burst.]

Disgusting... No, powerful skills!

Not only did she gain another phase, but she could also set burst keywords. Rita instantly felt that this ability was worth the cost.

Before she could finish setting it up, Quiet Mountain’s eight Apostles of God were already charging at her from different directions.

QM Kessa had somehow regained her sanity. QM Mojie’s tentacles lit up, and as Rita was about to block QM Rita’s attack, she found herself involuntarily lowering her wrist and facing QM Rita’s blade head-on.

Amidst the swirling smoke, Rita’s flower sword and lightning sword dissipated into the wind, unable to reassemble. She had no choice but to retract the flower sword and revert it to vine form. The accompanying thunder once again transformed into a downpour.

It wasn’t until this moment that the Apostles of God began their full-on assault.

So they were waiting for QM Cicada and QM Tune?

No... It wasn’t just them.

The sounds of deer calls and whale songs rang out simultaneously.

A massive wind whale swam gracefully through the water in the sky, spinning elegantly.

On the ground, a beautiful Mountainbound, like a divine apparition, stood at the center of the battlefield, its translucent frosty white antlers glowing. The injuries of all the Apostles of God were instantly healed.

The ten Apostles of God had all arrived!

The tank-like Quiet Mountain JE.

Melee: QM Rita, QM Mistblade, QM Maple Syrup, QM Kessa, QM Frenzied Shark.

Ranged: QM Cicada, QM Tune, QM Mojie.

Healer: QM Frost Deer.

QM Rita, QM Mistblade, and QM Maple Syrup were all level 18. At least two of their attributes couldn’t be numerically represented anymore—they were marked with question marks. The remaining seven were level 17, slightly weaker, but still had one attribute represented with question marks.

There was no time for trash talk. They went straight into the battle.

It was as if they were treating SS Rita as a boss.

Nivalis had already bid Rita farewell in her mind: "I’m glad I got to know you in this life. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you... I kind of like this way of dying. The only regret is that I didn’t get to make an appearance."

B80: "Me too, Rita. Though I’m running out of power, could you at least let me die at home?"

Rita: "...You two talk less, it’s better than anything."

She waited for the right moment, activated Crimson Dandelion, adjusted her position, and charged into the encirclement.

It was only then that she finished setting up Wildfire Reignited.

Second Phase Activation Conditions: Health below 30%; within 5 seconds, receive effective attacks from six enemies with a combat power of no less than level 17, with each hit dealing more than 100,000 damage; the number of negative effects on the player exceeds 500.

Second Phase Burst Keyword: Mental Control.

Third Phase Activation Conditions: Health below 10%; within 10 seconds, receive effective attacks from eight enemies with a combat power of no less than level 17; all cooldown abilities of divine relics and Player Relics are reset; the player has used three divine skills consecutively without completing a kill.

Third Phase Burst Keyword: All attack skills chain unconditionally.

As soon as Rita finished setting it up, a white flame ignited on her forehead.

The tail of the white flame solidified, swaying in the direction of the wind.

Just as she was about to be overwhelmed by the incoming skills, Rita braced herself and shouted the line she had been preparing for a long time.

SS Rita: "Feel the fear! Tremble in terror! I will bring death and disaster to Quiet Mountain!"

QM Rita: "......"

Nivalis: "I hate myself for not dying earlier..."

B80: "One thing, Rita, don’t let me die outside. I’m good dying at home."
