I, Izayoi Sakamaki, Joined the Chat Group at the Start

Seeing his prey right before him yet unable to kill it, Garde flew into a rage. The force surging through his body shattered the vines inch by inch.

But there was far more than just these vines—there were practically endless vines.

Countless vines, drawn by Hisato Asuka's Gift Aura, surged toward them in an unbroken tide.

Taking advantage of Garde's inability to resist, Kasukabe Yō swiftly moved behind him and drew the designated weapon, the Cross Sword.

"Hisato, it's up to you."

Handing the Cross Sword to Hisato Asuka, Kasukabe Yō said with a smile.

Hisato Asuka did not refuse. Taking the sword, she said confidently, "Then let me bring this battle to an end."

The silver-glinting Cross Sword became a weapon of death, plunging viciously into Garde's chest as blood burst forth.

Garde, tenacious as he was, could only roar as his life faded away.

"It's over."

"Yeah, finally. So, blond vampire loli over there, what do you think of them?"

Leaping down from the clouds, Izayoi Sakamaki crashed down like a missile beside the mastermind who had been watching everything from the shadows. The tremendous impact annihilated everything around him, reducing it to fragments that filled the sky.

Little Garden Knight, Pureblood Vampire, Leticia!

Information about the blonde loli rapidly surfaced in Izayoi Sakamaki's mind as his gaze swept over her.

"I never thought I'd be discovered."

Amid the dust filling the air, countless Ghost Trees sprouted from the ground once more, lifting up the golden-haired loli.

Frowning, she looked at the boy who had suddenly landed beside her. She had never imagined her spying would be discovered so easily.

Had losing my Spirit Rank weakened me this much?

"With such clumsy hiding skills, only a careless fool like Black Rabbit would fail to notice you, right?"

As he spoke, Izayoi Sakamaki curled his lips into a smile. "No, wait. A rabbit's ears are connected to Little Garden's central system. If you wanted to avoid being discovered, you'd have to know Black Rabbit very well, wouldn't you?"

"Isn't that right? Garde's accomplice and Black Rabbit's beloved senior?"

Leticia was rendered speechless by his unquestionable words. She stared at the boy before her in disbelief. "How did you discover my identity?"

"Oh, that? Probably just a guess." Izayoi removed the headphones he had been wearing. "I think the two of us should have a proper talk. After all, we're companions from the same community."

"No. I'm only merchandise now. I'm no longer a member of No Name."

A trace of sorrow and melancholy appeared in Leticia's eyes. Naturally, anyone forced to leave their homeland after being treated as merchandise would be saddened.

"That may not be the case."

I beg everyone for your support—flowers, monthly passes, rating tickets, all kinds of support.

Vibranium

"Are you all right, Lady Hisato and Lady Kasukabe Yō?"

As soon as the battle ended, Black Rabbit ran over to the two of them and asked worriedly. "We're fine. Who do you think we are? By the way, where's Izayoi?"

Hisato Asuka proudly flicked back her long hair, then suddenly realized Izayoi Sakamaki was nowhere to be seen. Frowning in confusion, she asked.

In her view, Izayoi Sakamaki should have been very interested in this sort of thing.

"I don't know. Lord Izayoi disappeared as soon as the battle began."

Black Rabbit shook her head helplessly, inwardly wondering where Izayoi Sakamaki had gone.

"Maybe he found something more fun?"

Kasukabe Yō picked up her kitten and thought for a moment before answering.

"Even if not, it's probably something close to that. Forget it, let's head back first. Maybe he's already waiting at the community for our report."

Rubbing her temples helplessly, Hisato Asuka felt somewhat exhausted. After all, this was her first attempt at using a Gift to control another Gift. It was only natural that it had drained so much of her energy.

At that moment, Izayoi Sakamaki was sitting on one of the few sofas in the community, drinking tea prepared by the little loli as he considered what had happened with Leticia.

As an Original Demon King, Leticia might not have been overwhelmingly powerful at her peak, but she had certainly not been weak.

She was at least at the Four-digit level. Though she could not compare with someone as absurd as Izayoi Sakamaki, she was more than capable of throwing her weight around in the Outer Gates.

That would be perfect for sharing some of his burden, allowing him to begin preparing his advance into the Three-digit level.

"The prize of a Gift Game? But according to the original plot, that prodigal should change his mind."

It seemed he would have to pay White Night Yaksha another visit tomorrow.

Taking a sip of the fragrant tea, Izayoi Sakamaki smacked his lips. The tea here really was better than anything in the real world. It even seemed to have a faint effect of strengthening one's mind, though it was useless to him.

After roughly estimating Black Rabbit and the others' speed and timing, Izayoi Sakamaki immersed his consciousness in the Chat Group.

Hawkeye: "I've sealed away Yoru. I only use a Wooden Sword now."

Tony: "Tsk, tsk, what spirit. But can you let me take a look at that Yoru? I'm short on materials."

Tsunade: "..."

Hawkeye: "I refuse."

Tony: "So stingy."

Minamiya Natsuki: "Why do I feel like Hawkeye is already being generous by not drawing his sword and cutting you down? You actually dared ask a swordsman for his sword to use in an experiment?"

Kurogane Ikki: "A sword is a swordsman's life. It must never be abandoned."

Takanashi Rikka: "The Evil-Eye True Sight is the foundation of my existence. It must never be abandoned!"

Fūrinji Miu: "I wonder if Izayoi has been eating properly these past few days. Sigh."

Tsunade: "Sigh, this damned youth."

Izayoi Sakamaki: "Tony, aren't you rich? How can you not even have materials?"

Tony: "Administrator, you don't understand. My world only has a bunch of strange mutants. There aren't any powerful metal materials at all. If I want to arm myself with technology, I can only turn to the Chat Group."

Seeing the administrator reply, Tony's eyes lit up, and he immediately began playing up his misery. Forget the administrator's high-level Gifts—even a little metal scrap leaking from between his fingers would be enough for him.

But what Tony never expected was that Izayoi Sakamaki was dirt poor. Although he had the ability to rob the rich and aid the poor, he had only been in Little Garden for a short time and had not yet had the chance to put his skills to use.

Izayoi Sakamaki: "Why ask me? Doesn't your world have plenty of high-level stuff? Like Vibranium or the Cosmic Cube."

Tony: "??? What are those? Why have I never heard of them?"

Tsunade: "Cosmic Cube? It sounds pretty advanced."

Izayoi Sakamaki: "It's considered quite a powerful thing. It's said to possess infinite energy, though that isn't its original name."

Tony: "Wait, why do I feel like you know my world better than I do? Confused.jdp"

Takanashi Rikka: "Heh heh, ignorant mortal. The administrator is so powerful. Isn't it perfectly normal for him to observe countless worlds?"

Tony: "...That actually makes some sense... But I don't know where those things are right now. And getting them definitely won't be easy. Hinting wildly.jdp"

Tsunade: "Tsk, tsk... Tony, are you trying to get something for nothing?"

Minamiya Natsuki: "I heard there are Red Packets?"

Fūrinji Miu: "Red Packets? Where?"

Esdeath: "Red Packets? That Water Tree last time greatly improved my subordinates' combat strength. I hope this time won't be too disappointing."

Tony: "..."

Ding, group member Tony has sent a Red Packet.

Ding, Tsunade has claimed the Red Packet.

Izayoi Sakamaki has claimed the Red Packet.

Esdeath: "Why is it all gold? Useless."

Tsunade: "I just gambled away all my money. Now I can go have some fun at the casino again."

Tony: "At least it's something. Other than money, I have nothing now."

Takanashi Rikka: "Geek Repair, you evil capitalist!"

I beg everyone for your support—flowers, monthly passes, rating tickets, all kinds of support.

Perseus Attacks

Information about metals?

Looking at the dozens of kilograms of gold that had appeared in his System Space, Izayoi Sakamaki began recalling what he knew. When it came to Marvel's most famous metal, it had to be Vibranium. Captain America's Vibranium shield had blocked who knew how many world-ending attacks.

There was certainly some exaggeration involved, but Vibranium's durability was not weak in the slightest.

According to its setting, Vibranium could absorb surrounding vibrational energy and kinetic energy. When absorbing kinetic energy, there was no noticeable increase in the vibration frequency of Vibranium's own molecules. When absorbing external vibrational energy, the energy was stored within Vibranium's molecular bonds. Usually, the more kinetic energy Vibranium absorbed, the harder and more durable it became. But if enough force was used to shatter it, Vibranium would explode and release most of the energy it had absorbed. Theoretically, Vibranium could not absorb energy infinitely, but Izayoi Sakamaki had never seen how it actually worked with his own eyes, so he could not be certain.

And the place with the largest supply of Vibranium was Wakanda. Nearly ninety percent of the world's Vibranium was there.

After organizing this information, Izayoi Sakamaki sent it to the Chat Group.

Izayoi Sakamaki: "Vibranium is mainly found in Wakanda. Don't be fooled by its long-standing isolation or its outward appearance as a poor, backward agricultural nation. It's actually the most technologically advanced country on your planet."

Tony: "Wakanda? I always wondered how such a small country could remain isolated for so long. So that's why."

Minamiya Natsuki: "A single special metal created a powerful country? Just how powerful is this metal?"

Takanashi Rikka: "Could it be... the corpse of the God of Light?"

Izayoi Sakamaki: "Stop persecuting the God of Light. He's already sick of being the final boss."

Izayoi Sakamaki: "But Vibranium is known as Anti-Metal. It can store the kinetic energy it absorbs. Simply put, it's perfect for making armor and shields."

Tony: "Understood. I'll start preparing now. The next time we meet, I'll definitely become second strongest in the entire group!"

With that, Tony hurriedly went offline. Looking at the empty room, he asked, "JAX, give me everything you have on Wakanda."

"Understood."

Before long, a file was compiled and sent to Tony's computer.

"Looks like I'll need to figure out how to open Wakanda's doors."

Looking at the information displayed in the file, Tony rubbed his stubble and began to think.

His armor had already reached its final stage. He had found an energy source through his father's relics. Now, all he needed was to incorporate Vibranium into his armor, and it would be complete.

"Should I ask the administrator? Forget it. I can't keep relying on others. I should find a solution to such small matters myself."

Thinking of the omnipotent and powerful administrator, Tony quickly shook his head. The administrator had already saved his life. If he continued demanding more, that would truly be pushing his luck.

As an arms dealer, Tony was also a business genius. He quickly came up with a way to open Wakanda's doors.

Division—help those who wanted to communicate with the outside world.

It was remarkably similar to how his father had profited from war back then. It was also the simplest and most convenient method.

He picked up his phone and was about to call one of the company shareholders, but hesitated. Instead, he called his assistant, Pepper.

Ever since the Terrorists' attack, he had become far more cautious.

Right on schedule, Izayoi Sakamaki exited the Chat Group. Before long, Kurotsuchi and the others returned.

"Yo, nice job. That was much cleaner and more efficient than I expected."

The moment they met, Izayoi Sakamaki gave a thumbs-up and praised them, leaving Hisato Asuka and Black Rabbit no chance to complain.

"You... Hmph, it's good that you know."

Sure enough, Hisato Asuka, who had originally intended to demand an explanation, immediately switched sides at Izayoi's words. She folded her arms proudly and became smug.

"...Didn't we agree to confront Izayoi together?"

Stroking the cat in her arms, Kasukabe Yō muttered. She was quite happy as well, because ever since they had met, Izayoi Sakamaki had put immense pressure on them.

It was not pressure from his aura, but the pressure of competition, leaving them hardly able to breathe.
