"Oh ho... I didn't expect you, you rabbit, to have such privileges?" Izayoi Sakamaki raised an eyebrow and said with amusement, "Alright then, the referee for this game is in your hands!"

After speaking, Izayoi Sakamaki looked at Arthur and said meaningfully, "King of Knights, you wouldn't object, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Arthur nodded slightly. "Okay."

With their consent, the contents of the "contract document" in their hands were slightly altered.

"Great..." Seeing them agree, Black Rabbit instinctively jumped up and cheered, "Black Rabbit will be the referee for this Gift Game, and you two can't cheat..."

Black Rabbit pointed to its ears, saying with a hint of smugness and pride, "Black Rabbit's eyes and ears are connected to the central hub of the Little Garden. Any action deemed cheating by the Little Garden can result in Black Rabbit declaring victory for one side."

"You're awesome..." Izayoi Sakamaki said, holding the parchment in one hand and giving Black Rabbit a thumbs-up with the other.

"Hehe..." The Black Rabbit, feeling a little embarrassed by the 'praise', smiled.

Looking at this adorable 'rabbit', even Arthur couldn't help but smile kindly.

"You two, please take your positions." After laughing, Black Rabbit stood between the two with great interest, first giving Izayoi Sakamaki a grateful look, and then looking at Arthur with anticipation.

What this expectation implies is self-evident.

Arthur, however, felt a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth as Black Rabbit stared at him with an open and predictable look of anticipation for his defeat.

However, considering that Black Rabbit's actions were purely driven by her personality and her desire to recruit talent for the Community, Arthur didn't pay much attention to it.

Moreover, he wanted to give it a try.

Moreover, he wanted to give it a try.

The laws governing the Little Garden are incredibly powerful.

Or rather, the rewards given by the system can escape the laws and regulations of the Little Garden.

Yes!

Arthur is going to cheat.

(EX) represents something immeasurable, or infinity.

But is this infinity truly infinite?

Arthur was very curious.

Regarding the inherent skills rewarded by the system, are they based on the Type- Nasuverse's system, or are they more advanced?

Now, there is a stage even larger than Type-Moon.

That was the moment Arthur would have to prove himself.

Whether it's a failure or not, just being able to provide Arthur with an answer would be enough to satisfy him.

As for the so-called price, let's just consider it the path that God chose for him.

Thinking of this, Arthur's gaze toward Izayoi Sakamaki became serious, and he slowly raised his right hand, clenching his fist.

Izayoi Sakamaki, also sported an excited smile and raised her right hand.

"--Stone--"

"--Scissors--"

"Cloth!!"

As the chant for rock-paper-scissors ended, Arthur unleashed his Observation Haki to its fullest extent, peering into the future.

However, when images of the future surfaced in his mind, there were dozens of different answers.

As his fist slowly descended, Arthur looked at Izayoi Sakamaki, a look of horror appearing deep in his eyes.

Izayoi Sakamaki's eyes no longer met his gaze, but instead stared at his fist.

The two men slowly lowered their fists, finally extending their thumbs and index fingers.

"Both chose scissors, it's a tie!" Black Rabbit announced the answer from the sidelines.

"Oh... you're quite hesitant." Izayoi Sakamaki lowered her fist, looking at Arthur with a half-smile, and said, "You thought of throwing fist three times, paper six times, and scissors twelve times, and finally threw scissors. Do you think you can see what I'm going to throw?"

"That... you were talking about you, weren't you!" Arthur finally spoke after a long silence.

"If we're playing rock-paper-scissors, I'm the one who won't lose." Izayoi Sakamaki pointed to himself, then to the sky, uttering arrogant words. "Because I am perfect, and heaven will never create a more perfect human being than me."

"Interesting..."

Arthur never expected that such a bet would make his blood boil and ignite his fighting spirit.

(PS: These two chapters mainly develop the character of Izayoi, who is one of my favorite anime protagonists.)

Finished at 2 AM, going to sleep now. Wake up at noon and go out for some fun with my best friends! If there's no update tonight, it means I'm too tired from playing games, or maybe I'll play all night. Please forgive me! I'll definitely resume three updates a day tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone for the birthday wishes, muah (づ ̄3 ̄)づ...).

Chapter 482 Victory

(I'm back, but I haven't been out in ages and I got carsick! I didn't wake up until 8:30. This is the first update. There's one more to go. I probably won't be able to write the third update today, but I'll finish it around midnight before going to sleep.)

"Interesting... Continue!"

Arthur's lips curled into a smile, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit as he spoke.

Then, he raised his right hand and stared at Izayoi Sakamaki, who was all smiles.

Their fists clenched again.

"--Stone--"

"--Scissors--"

"Cloth--!"

As the chant for rock-paper-scissors rang out, Arthur's eyes gradually deepened, and a series of images of the future flashed through his mind.

Meanwhile, Izayoi Sakamaki on the opposite side was also staring intently at Arthur's fist.

Arthur's fist was clenched so tightly that it was impossible to tell whether it would reveal "rock," "scissors," or "paper" when it fell.

But that wasn't what Izayoi Sakamaki; he was focused on the moment Arthur's fingers moved.

With just the slightest movement, he could deduce what gesture the King of Knights from a parallel world or another world would make.

Yes!

Arthur uses his Observation Haki to foresee the Future Sight, while Izayoi Sakamaki relies on his eyesight.

Simply having good eyesight is not enough to disrupt the future that Arthur foresaw.

Izayoi Sakamaki most powerful is his physique, which is practically a bug.

"Gifts " is the collective term used in the Little Garden to refer to abilities, Sacred Gear, and weapons.

In other words, Arthur's inherent skills, abilities, Longinus, and Noble Phantasm are all things called "Gifts " in the world of the Little Garden.

Izayoi Sakamaki's Gift, however, was something that defied the heavens and violated the common sense of the Little Garden.

It is precisely a kind of "code- Code Unknown" that possesses all the conditions of "unknown origin, unknown name, and unknown effect".

The reason it violates the common sense of the Little Garden is that Izayoi Sakamaki's body and the power within him give him the ability to simultaneously possess both the "Gift to shatter heaven and earth" and the "power to shatter the Gift."

He possesses fists capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas, can throw objects at third cosmic velocity, and has Immunity constitution that renders him completely immune to petrification and curses, allowing him to withstand instant-death attacks just like Arthur.

This concentration of power within her makes Izayoi Sakamaki a truly miraculous being.

If not for this Little Garden, which is called the end of all universes.

No matter which world she goes to, Izayoi Sakamaki is a trendsetter who stirs up trouble.

Aside from a few exceptionally powerful martial arts worlds, the protagonists of other anime and manga worlds don't even have the qualifications to be compared to him.

More importantly, Izayoi Sakamaki also possesses wisdom that rivals hers.

Perhaps, as he said, God truly could not create "human beings" beyond Him.

With such a body, Izayoi Sakamaki's eyesight and thinking are naturally among the best.

He can disrupt the future that Arthur envisions.

It was entirely because the moment Arthur's finger twitched, his mind was also calculating Arthur's next move: would it be "rock," "scissors," or "paper"?

The moment he made that decision, his body reacted with a speed and agility that no human could match.

So after the slogan "Cloth" was uttered.

So after the slogan "Cloth" was uttered.

Arthur and Izayoi Sakamaki made the same gesture at the same time.

Extending the thumb and forefinger simultaneously forms the "scissors" shape in Japanese rock-paper-scissors.

"You really like scissors..." Izayoi Sakamaki's smile wasn't as wild anymore, but her gaze towards Arthur still revealed a strong curiosity and a renewed fighting spirit.

The King of Knights before me, whom I've heard so much about in mythology, is truly extraordinary.

You can clearly see the finger joints, and they seem to be moving, but it's all an illusion.

Thinking about this, Izayoi Sakamaki became increasingly interested, so she took the initiative to say, "Again, let's continue!"

After saying that, he clenched his fist and raised it.

Similarly, Arthur, who had taken in his expression, revealed a meaningful smile.

I see!!

The scissors that Izayoi Sakamaki made him understand.

At the same time, the second experiment also allowed him to get what he wanted.

"Immunity) " truly surpasses the level of the Nasuverse.

Future Sight is clearly a form of cheating.

The first time was fine, but the second time Black Rabbit didn't react, which means that even the same central processing unit didn't detect Arthur's cheating.

This (EX) is truly immeasurable.

It is the ability to deceive even the Little Gardens, to pull off deception.

At the same time, the two draws also allowed Arthur to see how Izayoi Sakamaki was guarding against his Future Sight.

Thinking of this, Arthur didn't speak, but also raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

"Stone--"

"--Scissors--"

"Cloth--!"

Amidst this chorus of slogans, Arthur and Izayoi Sakamaki lowered their raised fists once more.

"..."

This time, however, a look of surprise appeared on Izayoi Sakamaki's face.

Arthur stretched out his five fingers, as if to envelop (Zhao) his tightly clenched fist.

"Arthur Pendragon wins; Izayoi Sakamaki loses!"

Looking at the result before him, Black Rabbit's eyes welled up with tears, and he said in a choked voice, "I'm sorry, Izayoi! Black Rabbit has dragged you into this..."

"... How did you do that?" Izayoi Sakamaki ignored her completely, instead staring at Arthur and asking his question.

They didn't care about the cost at all; instead, they wanted to know exactly how Arthur had won against them.

"Guess..." Arthur said with a sly smile, glancing down at the parchment that had transformed in his hand.

The moment Black Rabbit announced the results, the parchment in Izayoi Sakamaki's hand turned to ashes and disappeared, while Arthur's parchment became a true "contract document."

You can make a reasonable request to Izayoi Sakamaki.

Chapter 483 Arthur's Decision

"... The so-called Gift Holders refer to people with special abilities! I'm sure everyone here realizes that you're not ordinary people, right? You are all Gift Holders... Besides special abilities, there are also various weapons and items, all of which are types of Gifts. Therefore... the Gift Game is a game unfolding for this extraordinary and complex 'Gift'."

"The competition that Izayoi-kun and Arthur just held was a type of Gift Game, an individual competition."
