Anime chat group , you let me come only after the world is destroyed?

Xiao Ju looked at the many familiar faces and couldn't help feeling quite happy.

Facing their questions, she grinned cheekily. "I've been here for a long time already! Surprised, aren't you? Hehe!!"

Seeing their reactions, Xiao Ju beamed with pride. Shocked, huh? As expected of her!

"She's with me~! Any problem with that?" Shiroyasha said with a grin, flashing her cute little fang.

The Halloween Queen frowned upon hearing this. "So you're saying the core of Little Garden was stolen by the two of you together?"

Xiao Ju pointed at Shiroyasha. "She did it alone! I didn't tell her to do it."

Though they were indeed in cahoots, Xiao Ju didn't want to take the blame for stealing the Little Garden core. Even if it wasn't a black mark, she wasn't going to shoulder it.

Shiroyasha didn't really mind.

Hearing this, the Halloween Queen and the others couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

"Alright, cut the act. Since you're here, it means you've defected too. I've already handed the core of Little Garden to the master of that world. From now on, this will be the new Little Garden—with even greater potential. Hmph! If you want in, it's not going to be easy. Come on now, time for a holdup!"

The bluff was over. She had come here today to rob them.

These folks who escaped from Little Garden must have brought valuable items with them. Since they were here, they weren't leaving empty-handed. This wasn't Little Garden, where people could come and go as they pleased. If they wanted in, they'd have to pay a protection fee!

The Halloween Queen's eyelids twitched. This damn woman!!

"Shiroyasha, don't go too far!"

Everyone became visibly annoyed. Was this woman really robbing them?

Shiroyasha, however, was unfazed.

"Too far? I could do even worse, believe it or not. So cough it up, and I'll let you in. This isn't Little Garden anymore. No matter how arrogant you used to be, here you're going to have to crawl."

Think you can act tough? Not without her permission.

"What do you want?" the Halloween Queen asked with irritation, although she still spoke. Truth be told, if she could beat this woman, she would've already fought her.

It was outrageous—looting during a crisis? She'd already been robbed once, and now this chick wanted to do it again? Infuriating!

Her Sun Sovereignty had already been stolen by Shiroyasha.

The Queen knew very well just how powerful Shiroyasha had become.

Now, Shiroyasha stood guard here, confirming one thing—the source of her newfound strength had to be that world behind her.

Her power had completely changed. Her divine spirit rank had not only recovered but was stronger than before.

All signs pointed to that mysterious world being no ordinary place.

But at this moment, Shiroyasha froze.

What should she ask for?

This was a serious question.

They were carrying a lot of valuable things. Divine Authority? Gifts?

After some thought, Shiroyasha made up her mind.

"Do you have any Divine Armaments? I want those."

Her lips curled into a satisfied smile. These people had a lot of Divine Armaments. If she could hand those to Takumi, wouldn't it be great if everyone had one?

As for their gifts or abilities—Takumi couldn't easily replicate those. So Divine Armaments alone would suffice.

...

The crowd fell silent at Shiroyasha's request.

They had thought she'd ask for divine ranks or powerful gifts.

But Divine Armaments?

Could it be that, in that world, such items were the most valuable?

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Should they agree?

Seeing them hesitate, Shiroyasha added, "Just hand over your weapons for now. I'll return them later. I'm not being unreasonable—just borrowing them temporarily. I, Shiroyasha, have a reputation to uphold."

It was clear they misunderstood something, so she clarified: she'd return their stuff later.

Whether it would be the original or a replica… well, who knows?

After all, Takumi was going to copy them all anyway.

Just thinking about it made Shiroyasha quite pleased.

The others, however, were speechless.

Reputation? Shiroyasha had that?

What if she later said, "I'm a Star Spirit, not a human. Reputation? That's a human thing, not ours."

No one doubted she could pull something like that.

But right now, they had no choice.

If they didn't hand over what she wanted, this woman probably wouldn't let them in.

The Halloween Queen fell silent.

Little Garden had already fallen. It was doomed the moment Shiroyasha took its core.

If they didn't go in, they had nowhere else to go.

The endless void was too vast. Finding another world was like finding a needle in a haystack.

They had only arrived because of their connection to Little Garden.

Without that guidance, they might still be trapped in the dying remnants of Little Garden.

They had reached the door—how could they not enter?

No matter what, they had to get in.

What was lost could be reclaimed later.

As for forcing their way in?

No one dared even consider it.

It was obvious Shiroyasha hadn't created this world. She was just another outsider.

No one knew how many powerful beings were inside.

So in a place like this, nobody dared bring their old arrogance.

Because they might die.

That was the caution everyone had in an unfamiliar world.

After that, Shiroyasha had a great time.

Because everyone obediently handed over what she asked for.

Meanwhile, Takumi had already guided the Honkai World into orbit.

Once that was done, he didn't rush off to do anything else. Instead, he came to check on Shiroyasha's side.

When he arrived, he saw Shiroyasha collecting entry tolls.

Seeing this, Takumi's lips twitched.

Let one in for every one who pays.

No one's getting in for free.

Xiao Ju and Ophis were helping on the side.

Seeing Shiroyasha acting like a highway bandit, Takumi was speechless.

Damn it, she really was good at this.

Clearly, she was born to be a bandit.
