"Welp, this much should be enough."
This wasn''t my first time doing this challenge and usually this whole of the things only takes a little over a few minutes topletepletely if I want to with the bare minimum requirements but if I were to fo that the same way this time as well, I would have lost the race to the top… not that it mattered.
"You arete~! I have been waiting here for thest twelve minutes~! Huhuhuhu~!"
"You cheated. You are a cheater. A bloody cheater."
I spent my stamina, Mana, sweat, a few drops of blood identally as well to get to this ce as soon as I could, but here she was, drinking tea with her Cary and the guardian of this special ind.
"Keke, the bet wasn''t to see who reaches the top bypleting the tasks. We were just racing to the top without ant particr methods so I didn''t technically cheat or anything. This was normal." "Of course, haaaa… I had expected this alredy,"
I knew the second I felt those weird trembles and saw that strange shape win the sky that she must have used that other method that I was expecting the least.
And, seeing how the adult dragon severely times stronger Than any of us, the being that was the sole epitome of existence in this specially created space, was feeding her small Cary with a delighted expression on her face, it was clear what might have happened.
"It was still unfair…"
Cary was a dragonlord so she must have used him and made her take the two of them all the way up here. And she was the only being in this ce that was capebale of doing something like this in the first ce so, it was understandable.
She didn''t technically cheat as she said, but this was still unfair.
"You get a half-wish for doing this dirty thing."
"Whattttttt? In fair! You can''t do that!"
"Of course I can. It''s my wish, so earn the second half yourself."
There was still a moral code between the two of us that we didn''t speak about and she broke it by not following the basic rules of this whole change.
''She certainly arrived to this garden before me, but what did it matter if she couldn''t even use this ce and it''s interfaces as well as privileges only those who reached here by the legitimate means could?''
She arrived before me, but the one that actually got here first was me. So, this half-wish was definitely valid.
"Tsk. Bastard. Stingy bitch bastard."
"How am I a bitch and a bastard at the same time, dummy?" I shook my head with a helpless smile on my face, and walked up to her.
"Why not? You are my bastard in the day and my bitch during, you know."
And with a smirk on her face and with an inappropriate reply in the most inappropriate way, she licked her lips.
She was the bitch here. A bad and mean bitch.
"Anyway,e here. Make tea for us."
"Sheesh. You can''t do a thing without me, can you?"
"Of course I can do a thing without you. You know, the thing with my hand-"
"Just shut up."
Top of the Shrine of Chiragya, the heavenly garden of prayers. Practically the most amazing ce present on this entire.
A in garden situated on the very summit of a special structure sorge and so well crafted that this garden practically hung between the heavens and the sky.
"This ce is as beautiful as we know."
"Right? I even thought it was even better than thest time we were here."
"Hmmm. Probably."
The ce where the sky ends and the realm of clouds start, this special garden was situated so high that the clouds were present just a few meters above us. I can jump high enough to touch the visibleyer of the couds that waspletely separate from the high ground of the sky that we were in.
''This ce… it was mystical.''
The clouds above this ce were not the same clouds as what we see in the outside world.
This entire ind was located in a special spacepletely isted from the outside world and only those with the keys to this ce, or those who uncover the entire truth of the first conqueror coulde to this ce. And it wasn''t easy in any manner.
''Just the beauty and mysteries of this ce made it so special that even I had to spend years inside the game to understand this ce enough to actually clear all the tests and reach this ce.''
The garden of Truth, especially the Central Gazebo where she was sitting was a ce the first conqueror Chiragya made with the concentrated essence of his own life force and all the energy of his cursed Luck.
The concentration of the power of Luck in this ce was some of the highest one can find not in the world, but in the entire Worldline.
But that wasn''t all.
The white Gazebo made with Divine marble, the soil of this garden that was picked up from the realm of the spirits, the special flowers and herbs that grew upon it, to the sky and horizon before us where a beautiful sunset will soon take ce, this ce was a wonder of nature.
Above us were couds, and a green forest below.
When we looked forward, an endless blue sea graced us with its serene beauty, when we looked up, the sea of clouds resembling white cottons danced alongside the winds.
We set in between these two realms, one mortal, the other mystical, in a ce where few could ever reach…
The winds here carried Elixir like freshness, rejuvenating. The smell of fresh flowers that we could directly use as consumables filled our noses.
The beauty of this ce wasn''t the best in this vast Worldline, however… it was special for us. It held special meaning to both of us.
"Here."
"Thanks~!"
[{ Where''s mine? }]
"You wanted one as well?"
[{ Of course! Why would I drink this-… this less amazing one before- }]
"You wanted to call it shit, right? Well, I know you did but it did not work! Fuck you, bastard. Just drink what you have! I made it with love and care! Hump!"
El was pretty good at cooking herself so I have no doubt the tea Cary was drinking was nothing inferior to what I made for her.
She just liked drinking the one I made, it wasn''t like I made it in some otherworldly manner which would make it taste out of this world or something.
Tea was tea. "Anyway, darling. You can use the control panels now, right? Show me what the others are doing."
"Wait a little. The system is calcting the rewards."
"Hmmmm…"
The entire Garden of Truth was made by Chiragya to tell his sessors his own truth that we both knew already.
He was just cursed by a weird luck and because of that, everything happened in his life that brought prosperity to the world, his entire life that went on for thousands of years only brought him utter, and unbearable despair.
''He made this ce for his sessors who he thought would be much better off with the powers and things he had gained throughout his life.''
This garden itself was thest legacy he had left for his sessors, an observation point from where one could not only observe every single thing happening all around this ind, but also the main control point from where one could ess everything that he had left behind in this world.
''This ce was the personification of his main Authority. Which, technically,belled this ce his ultimate inheritance.''
And we technically owned it now.
[Ding!]
"Oh, it''s here."
"What did you get~?"
The rewards were here, and with them, also the sunset, and the moment we had been waiting for.
