This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 1257 Combat Power Update and Divine Game Settlement
The voting prompt remained fixed in front of her.
There was no countdown, no pressure, no urgency.
But it refused to disappear without an answer.
Rita selected "Yes."
Only war could bring change. Only conflict could create something resembling fairness.
If a handful of players could decide the fate of entire worlds, that would be far more unfair.
After a while, B80 was called away by Shadow.Q, who had clearly been waiting outside the study for quite some time and had run out of patience.
Only then did the result finally appear.
Approval Rate 100 percent
Announcement. If Starsea remains disorderly in the next era, the invasion sequence will continue.
The Disorderly Starsea initiates a second public vote. All current Divine Game players have voting rights.
Public Vote. What does Starsea need. Divine Game or Demon Game.
Divine Game or Demon Game
Rita chose Divine Game.
If Starsea managed to stabilize, then Demon Game players could at least enjoy some peace outside the game.
But if the next era remained chaotic, players would be fighting wars while also being tortured inside the game. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
At that point, the pendulum would not even be necessary.
What surprised Rita was the result.
It was exactly split down the middle.
Before she could even begin to imagine what the other half of players were thinking, the voting phase ended and new notifications appeared.
Equipment slots removed. New restriction added. Players may only have six active magical items at any time, including equipment, tools, toys, and artifacts.
Items can be marked with a soul fire imprint. Marked items cannot be used by others without permission.
Player Relic will always remain active. Players may designate five additional active items. Replacing any item will trigger a cooldown of six Starsea days and will affect ranking.
Rita moved quickly and selected her five items.
Wrathful Moon
Cat’s Ideal
My Sigh
Cat’s Schedule
Gacha Machine
The Foolishness Game she had just obtained was once again set aside.
At its core, its abilities were simple.
Foolishness cleared incorrect thoughts.
Arrogance boosted attributes.
Romantic retrieved lost treasures.
Blank rounds allowed rollback.
None of these were essential in direct combat.
The most critical function, rollback, could already be replicated through her snowman. And without the same level of randomness.
The Gacha Machine, on the other hand, was far more practical.
It could bypass rules to store items, hide prepared Doormat Balloons, effectively letting her carry three sources of healing at all times.
More importantly, it functioned like a safe, protecting divine relics within game rules.
She was already aware of its limits. It could still be destroyed by divine abilities, and it could not break the overarching rules of Starsea.
But in terms of usability, it far surpassed Foolishness Game.
As for Cat’s Schedule, it was irreplaceable.
It was the only way to manipulate cooldowns of items. Her School Rule No 801 could only affect skill cooldowns, not items.

Comprehensive Starsea player ranking generated. This ranking reflects panel data and peak capability values. It does not account for combat intelligence or the ability to convert knowledge, skills, and creativity into real battle advantage.
A separate Starsea battlefield ranking has been generated. War skills and world skills have been converted into special titles based on quantity and level.
As the notifications continued, Rita kept tapping the ranking interface on her wrist, as if she could somehow speed things up.
At the very least, she wished there was some kind of transition animation.
There was not.
Only after everything finished did the rankings finally open.

Looking through the list, what surprised Rita the most was not Lightchaser being ranked outside the top 100 despite placing second.
Her base stats and equipment simply could not compare to long-time Divine Game players. Ranking at 101 already showed the strength of her divine talent.
What truly surprised Rita was TingoJE reaching rank 10.
Its divine talent was Oasis.
It had already been strong before, but this ability was clearly exceptional. Just unlocking it had pushed it into the top ten.
Before Rita could check the battlefield rankings, the Divine Game settlement arrived.
