The Halloween Queen's massive liquidation continued to shake Little Garden.
Using lands and commercial districts as bargaining chips, she exchanged them for countless Gifts, Divinities, and rare treasures.
Naturally, many people found her actions suspicious.
But suspicion didn't stop anyone from trading with her.
After all, many Gifts sitting inside storage vaults were practically useless to their owners, while the Halloween Queen's territories and businesses were immensely desirable.
Even if no one understood her true intentions…
That didn't stop them from wanting her assets.
Thus, communities large and small eagerly brought out their treasures to negotiate with the Halloween Queen.
And it wasn't only ordinary communities.
Even powerful pantheons joined the exchange.
The Greek gods.
The Buddhist faction.
Various divine groups all participated.
The Halloween Queen welcomed every single one of them without hesitation.
She didn't care who they were.
After all…
She was planning to leave anyway.
Why would she care what happened afterward?
For nearly half a month, her subordinates continuously handled transactions throughout Little Garden, accumulating enormous quantities of Gifts and Divinities.
Meanwhile, Shiroyasha had quietly completed her own mission.
Every god carrying one of her Sun Sovereignties had been ambushed and sealed away without anyone noticing.
Once everything was prepared, Shiroyasha decided not to delay any further.
To avoid complications, she immediately headed for Izumi's world.
The moment she crossed over, her expression changed.
She could feel it instantly.
The laws governing this world were absurdly powerful.
And more importantly—
The sun itself resonated with her.
The Sun Sovereignties within Izumi's world reacted as though welcoming their original master home.
The sunlight throughout the entire world suddenly grew warmer and brighter.
Many Sun Gods living within Izumi's world sensed the abnormality immediately.
Something extraordinary had entered this universe.
Naturally, none of this escaped Izumi's notice.
The moment Shiroyasha arrived, he had already detected her presence.
And after noticing the resonance with the world's sun, he immediately understood the reason.
As a Star Spirit deeply connected to the sun itself, it was only natural for Shiroyasha to trigger such a reaction.
Even Avrora Florestina was affected.
After all, the stellar beasts within the artificial sun had been created using portions of her Familiar powers.
She instinctively sensed the disturbance as well.
Curious, Avrora immediately wanted to investigate—
But Izumi stopped her.
"Stay here."
"An important guest has arrived."
"And next…"
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"I'll probably be using the rest of your Familiars as well."
With that, Izumi vanished from the room.
Avrora blinked for a moment before her eyes suddenly lit up.
She instantly understood what he meant.
The Sun Sovereignties.
Thinking of that, anticipation filled her face.
...
Meanwhile, elsewhere—
Shiroyasha wandered through Izumi's world with sparkling eyes, openly staring at the countless adorable girls she passed by.
Her gaze was so shameless that she looked more like a suspicious old man than a legendary Star Spirit.
Just as she was admiring another group of lolis, someone suddenly stepped in front of her and blocked her view.
Shiroyasha frowned in annoyance.
"Oi, move—"
But when she looked up and realized who it was, she immediately stopped.
"Oh."
"It's you."
"Move aside already. You're blocking my view of the cute girls."
A disturbingly pleased grin spread across her face.
Seeing her behave like a degenerate uncle despite looking like a loli herself, Izumi felt utterly speechless.
"That's enough."
"You're a loli too, you know."
"Stop staring at other people like that."
"Aren't you here to recover your power?"
"Don't forget why you came."
Hearing that, Shiroyasha finally snapped back to reality.
"Hehehe…"
"Right, right."
She withdrew her gaze reluctantly before turning serious.
"I brought everything you wanted."
"So hurry up and begin."
"I agree to all your conditions."
