Multiverse: In the Little Garden, Becoming a God by Proving the Eternal Through One

Qin Qi took the information he had asked others to gather out of his storage item and laid it all in front of White Night Yaksha.

"The physical evidence is here. If you want to see the witnesses, I can have them brought over."

Qin Qi had prepared almost everything by now. If White Night Yaksha wanted anything, he could have someone bring it over at any time.

"Galdo Gasper of Force Garo... I remember now. His was the community that refused to do business with you before, wasn't it?"

"I even heard they wanted to compete with you for business... What do you want me to do? Help you wipe them out?"

White Night Yaksha looked through the evidence. It was enough to bring the community to ruin, but she didn't think Qin Qi's goal could be that simple.

"I want temporary law enforcement authority. Leave his punishment to me. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

"After all, I just did you such a big favor. You can help me out now, can't you?"

Qin Qi spoke with a very polite and gentle smile.

"I suddenly feel like you've been plotting against me. Did you know all along that the matter with Black Rabbit wouldn't work out, so you had something else in mind?"

White Night Yaksha looked at Qin Qi suspiciously. She had vaguely sensed that something was off before.

The money needed to buy Leticia was indeed a considerable sum, but it wasn't much to Qin Qi. After all, he really knew how to make money.

Yet Qin Qi had refused repeatedly. From what White Night Yaksha knew of him, he shouldn't have been so single-mindedly profit-driven.

He cared more about connections than profit. At that moment, it suddenly occurred to her: had Qin Qi done it on purpose?

The second simulation will begin in a few more chapters. This time, he'll go to the world of The Outcast to broaden his repertoire of techniques and spells.

Also, a reader survey: what does everyone think of the story so far? Do you want to keep reading?

Chapter 29: I'll Give You Two Choices: Death or Demise. Which Do You Pick?

"No, I was planning to discuss this matter with you and ask for your help from the start."

"Running into Black Rabbit really was a coincidence."

"I admit I was putting on an act just now, but that was also to let Black Rabbit and Leticia know how valuable my help was."

"They wouldn't treasure something that came easily. If I'd agreed without a second thought, wouldn't that have made my help look cheap?"

"And it would have made your favor look worthless too."

Qin Qi had no particular designs on the No Name Community. After all, it had lost everything. But he did have plans for Black Rabbit.

The title of Noble of the Little Garden was gold in itself. Having her work for him would give the community a coat of gold.

Black Rabbit's adjudicator authority and her ability to speak the languages of all kinds of creatures were also extremely useful. They would be a great help in future cooperation with the phantom beasts of the Southern District.

"All right. You always make sure there isn't a drop left to leak. I'll give you temporary law enforcement authority. Write up a contract, and I'll sign it."

"But don't make too much of a commotion, or it'll be hard for me to handle things on my end."

White Night Yaksha shook her head. Qin Qi was always like this. Even if you knew he might be plotting against you, you wouldn't get angry.

That was because he always made sure both sides profited, rather than cheating you and keeping everything for himself.

Qin Qi had gained Black Rabbit and Leticia as workers, while White Night Yaksha had earned a favor. Everyone had come away with something good.

"Understood."

Qin Qi called Black Rabbit in and had her draw up a contract. Then he and White Night Yaksha signed it with Black Rabbit as their witness.

"I'll take Leticia back first, and then you can discuss buying her with Perseus."

White Night Yaksha checked the time. It was about time she returned Leticia to them.

"Why take her back? I'll buy her outright. I'll pay ten percent more than their original asking price as an apology for the discourtesy."

"And I won't waste any more time here. I have things to do, so I'll leave the rest to you."

"Black Rabbit, come with me. You're working overtime."

Qin Qi immediately gathered his people. Now that he had law enforcement authority, he would deal with Galdo tonight. He would never give his opponent time to react.

Galdo would never see the sun rise the next day!

At the Force Garo community's residence.

"Lord Galdo, the communities under our control have now all cut off business with Thousand Eyes."

"Won't that offend him? Should we..."

A subordinate was reporting the latest developments to Galdo. At the thought of Qin Qi, a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

"What's there to fear about offending him? He has Thousand Eyes behind him, but we have the Beast of 666 behind us."

"Besides, we haven't openly fallen out with them. This is just normal business competition for now."

Galdo thought nothing of it. How powerful could a mere community of humans be? Thousand Eyes was the only thing worth worrying about.

But as long as they didn't go too far, Thousand Eyes wouldn't interfere.

"Yes."

The subordinate hesitated, but still nodded. It wasn't as though no one had ever opposed Qin Qi's community before.

But they had all disappeared for various reasons. There was no evidence that Qin Qi had done it, but everyone knew it in their hearts.

Everyone except Galdo, that fool, a beast who knew only brute force and thought being ruthless enough was all it took to hold his ground.

The subordinate didn't dare contradict the proud, self-satisfied tiger. He left after giving his report. He was just an employee; it was enough to do his job.

The rest had nothing to do with him.

Before long, Galdo was the only one left in the castle. Dressed in a suit, he sat behind his desk.

He also held a book. Although he never read and never did any office work, having those things made him feel great.

Where Galdo couldn't see them, several dark figures silently landed outside the window and gently opened it.

They slipped inside and, before Galdo could react, unleashed a blast of freezing air straight at Gadel.

"You..."

By the time Galdo reacted, it was too late. The freezing air had reached him, and his limbs froze in an instant.

Only his head remained untouched.

"Who are you?!"

Galdo looked at their glowing red eyes and immediately recognized them all as vampires of the oni race!

He racked his brains but couldn't think when he had offended these vampires.

"Galdo, your crimes have come to light."

Qin Qi walked in right behind them, holding the contract for temporary law enforcement authority signed by the Floor Master, White Night Yaksha.

"Now you have two choices. The first is to die now. The second is to play a game with me."

"The rules are simple: we fight. If you win, I'll give you thirty minutes to escape. If you lose, you must confess to all your crimes."

"And everything belonging to the communities under your command, whether people of talent or treasure, will be mine. So, which do you choose?"

Qin Qi still wore that polite smile, but his words were anything but polite. He called it a choice, but Galdo had no opportunity to choose.

"You... you're framing me!"

Galdo's pupils contracted as he read what was written on the contract. No one should have known what he had done.

"Three seconds. If you don't choose, you die."

Qin Qi gave Galdo no chance to argue and immediately began counting down. "Three, two..."

"I choose the game! I choose the game!"

Galdo immediately chose the game. Faced with the threat of death, any creature would choose to live as long as possible.

"Rabbit, the contract."

Qin Qi spoke to Black Rabbit, who had followed him here.

"Mm..."

Black Rabbit was a little slow to react and froze for a moment. Then she hurried over and listened to the will of the Little Garden with her ears. A contract began to take shape.

"Black Rabbit... wait, I want to report this! This man is threatening me to force me into a game!"

"I want to report it!"

The moment Galdo saw Black Rabbit, the thought flashed through his mind. He had made threats, and now Qin Qi was making threats too.

Normally, he wouldn't have been able to report it, but Black Rabbit, who possessed adjudication authority, was right here. He could report it to her!

"Report accepted... The Little Garden has judged that there is no irregularity."

Black Rabbit was worried when she heard him, but the message that came from the Little Garden afterward made her breathe a sigh of relief, and she spoke.

"Will you proceed with the game?"

Black Rabbit asked in a businesslike manner.

"No, impossible! He's obviously threatening me! Why is there no irregularity? You... I know you're in this together!"

Galdo was stunned, then began shouting wildly. He couldn't understand why there was no irregularity.

He was guilty for making threats, but this man wasn't!

"Idiot, do you think I'm like you? Kidnapping and threats are what barbarians do. I'm merely acting according to the law."

"I'm not threatening you with death. I'm merely executing you according to the laws of the Little Garden. After all, I have temporary law enforcement authority."

"Nor am I threatening you into playing a game. I'm interrogating you in the form of a game, with just a little something added for myself. Everything I've done is legal."

Qin Qi's smile grew even brighter. How would he have dared bring Black Rabbit along if he hadn't made preparations? Everything was legal and reasonable.

At the very least, it looked legal and reasonable.

"Now you can agree to the game, or you can choose to be executed by me on the spot. Choose."

Qin Qi looked down at Galdo, his gaze turning cold as he spoke.

Chapter 30: A Dynasty Overthrown Overnight, Ruling the Entire Outer Gate!

"I agree!"

Galdo knew that even if he agreed, he might not survive, but his instincts as a living creature still drove him to agree.

They signed the contract with Black Rabbit as their witness, and then the fight began.

"Let me go."

Galdo looked at his body, still encased in ice, and made his request.

"Why should I let you go? The contract never said I had to free you before the fight."

"Black Rabbit, do the rules of the game say I have to let him go?"

Though Qin Qi was asking a question, lightning danced over his palm. The next second, a bolt of golden lightning as thick as a thigh surged into Galdo's body.

The intense heat of Hamon roasted Galdo's body from the inside out. In an instant, this regional ruler of Outer Gate 2105380 had become a roasted tiger.

"Mm!"

Black Rabbit froze for a moment. Qin Qi's sudden attack had startled her. She hadn't expected the store manager who wore a gentle smile every day to be so ruthless when he got serious!

"The rules don't specify whether he has to be freed, so a fight under these conditions also complies with the rules of the game."
