Roy withdrew the power of Bloody Absolute Zero.
The iceberg gradually melted.
When it was halfway melted, the ice exploded.
Bang!
Shiroyasha broke free.
"Achoo!"
Before she could confront Roy, she let out several sneezes.
Her cute appearance made Roy burst into laughter.
"Shiroyasha is really adorable! Hahaha!"
"Hmph!" Shiroyasha puffed out her cheeks, glaring at him. She couldn't believe she had lost, especially on her own game board.
This loss of face was unbearable. Thankfully, this Gift Game hadn't been announced publicly.
Otherwise, her reputation would be ruined.
Behind her, Shirayuki-hime and Gryphon shivered violently.
If Shiroyasha hadn't protected them, they would have perished under the Bloody Absolute Zero.
Absolute Zero could even obliterate souls, let alone Bloody Absolute Zero, which was twice as powerful.
Just then, Black Rabbit spoke. "Shiroyasha-sama, according to the terms of your contract scroll, you lost this Gift Game."
"Yes, I know!" Shiroyasha was frustrated. She hadn't expected to lose.
She turned to Roy. "Although I lost, it's best not to make excessive demands. After all, I belong to Thousand Eyes now."
Roy frowned. Shiroyasha's meaning was clear; it wasn't that he couldn't make unreasonable demands, but her emphasis on the Thousand Eyes community indicated she couldn't join No Name.
Roy then recalled that Shiroyasha's affiliation with Thousand Eyes wasn't entirely voluntary.
She had joined after being defeated by the Twin Goddesses.
The Twin Goddesses were also Solaric-level powerhouses in Little Garden, and there were two of them. No wonder Shiroyasha had lost.
This was one of her few defeats.
In other words, ownership of Shiroyasha still rested with the Twin Goddesses.
Having Shiroyasha join No Name would require the Twin Goddesses' agreement.
This complicated things for Roy. He had indeed wanted her to join No Name, but now it seemed impossible.
The Twin Goddesses were currently beyond his ability to challenge.
Little Garden's Solaric-level beings were Omniscient and Omnipotent, residing at the pinnacle of Little Garden's power structure.
"Alright then," Roy sighed. "I won't make that request."
Black Rabbit, who had been nervous, also sighed in relief.
"Then state your request quickly!" Shiroyasha urged.
Lucoa, Saeko, and the others watched him, likely having an idea of what his request would be.
"My request is for you, Shiroyasha, to become my servant."
"Huh?!?!"
As soon as Roy finished speaking, Shiroyasha, Black Rabbit, and the others were utterly astonished. They hadn't expected this kind of demand!
Generally, while "Servant" could imply family, it more often meant a pet or subordinate.
Like Shiroyasha's servant, Shirayuki-hime—that idiot snake Goddess was merely her pet.
For powerhouses of the same level, becoming someone else's servant was difficult to accept.
But this was a Gift Game; even Shiroyasha couldn't refuse this demand.
"Roy, you…" Black Rabbit looked at Roy in shock. She hadn't expected him to demand Shiroyasha become his servant. This was incredibly bold.
Roy ignored her.
Getting Shiroyasha to join No Name was impossible, but making her his own servant was achievable.
This was his primary objective.
Although Shiroyasha was currently only Stellar-level, if she reclaimed her Divinity and original power, she could become a Solaric-level powerhouse again.
By then, Roy's strength would also break through to Solaric-level.
At that point, with Roy and Shiroyasha allied, who in Little Garden could possibly stand against them?
This was Roy's ultimate goal.
"So, Shiroyasha, what's your answer?" Roy chuckled.
Shiroyasha looked at him with a complex expression. "Since I lost to you, do I still have a choice?"
The Host Master was created with the power of Little Garden's Gods. Even she couldn't resist it, so she had no right to refuse.
"Hehe, Shiroyasha, don't worry. Even as my servant, I won't force you to do anything. And eventually, I'll snatch you away from the Twin Goddesses."
"Just you?" It wasn't that Shiroyasha looked down on him; his current strength was simply too weak compared to Solaric-level beings.
Although only one tier apart, the difference in strength was monumental.
Stellar-level beings were utterly insignificant compared to Solaric-level.
"That's right, just me!" Roy chuckled, displaying unparalleled confidence.
Shiroyasha was skeptical but didn't question his words further.
——
"Let's sign the contract," Roy said, taking out an Evil Piece.
"What is this?" Shiroyasha took it, puzzled.
"This is called an Evil Piece. Accepting its power will make you my servant, and it can also increase your strength!" Roy explained with a smile.
"Oh? It can increase my strength?" Shiroyasha was skeptical. She was inherently the Star Spirit of the Sun and White Night; her power had been at its peak since birth and couldn't be increased.
"If you don't believe me, just try it," Roy laughed.
The Evil Pieces granted by the system ignored level restrictions for improvement, even for someone like Shiroyasha.
Shiroyasha didn't speak, silently accepting the power of the Evil Piece.
The piece's power slowly merged into her body.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a tremendous force caused the entire world to shift color, as if something terrifying was about to descend.
But the sensation vanished in an instant.
"It actually increased!" Shiroyasha opened her eyes, examining herself in amazement.
And it wasn't just a minor increase; it had raised her power limit as the White Night Demon Lord.
In other words, once she reclaimed her Divinity and restored her Solaric-level power, she would be even stronger than before.
Shiroyasha looked at him in amazement. "Roy, how did you do that?"
"Hehe," Roy chuckled lightly; his own strength hadn't increased much.
Only when Shiroyasha reclaimed her Divinity and became the White Night Demon Lord again could his strength break through to Solaric-level, potentially becoming omniscient and omnipotent.
Of course, this power boost came from the Evil Piece; perhaps it wouldn't truly make him omniscient and omnipotent.
Maybe I can acquire that Authority! Roy was already thinking about other matters. If he succeeded…
But now wasn't the time for that.
Next, Roy learned from Shiroyasha how to create his own game board.
With his strength, creating such a portable planet wasn't difficult; he just lacked the method before.
Under Shiroyasha's guidance, he quickly learned the technique and created his own game board.
It was called a game board, but it was essentially a pocket dimension.
All the rules on the planet were set by him. For example, like in the Toriko world, he could make all the plants and animals on his planet edible ingredients.
Or, like in Pokémon, the entire world could become a world of Pokémon.
The planet Roy created was like this—full of Pokémon, and the entire planet was filled with various ingredients.
Hmm… a foodie's idea.
And the Pokémon would keep the planet from being too boring.
Next, he just needed to place his servants inside.
Thus, his own world was created.
"Yo~~ Roy, the game board you created is really childish!" At this time, Shiroyasha, Black Rabbit, Saeko, and the others were all inside Roy's game board.
Looking at the cartoon-style planet before her, Shiroyasha couldn't help but complain.
"I quite like it here. It's beautiful—no conflict, carefree," Black Rabbit said with a look of longing.
Hearing Black Rabbit say this, Shiroyasha was also a bit moved, but being somewhat tsundere, she wouldn't admit it.
"Hehe, you can all live here too eventually," Roy chuckled.
"Really?" Black Rabbit was excited.
"Of course!" Roy nodded naturally. He wasn't planning on letting this clumsy rabbit go.
After admiring the game board—
Roy and the others said goodbye to Shiroyasha, preparing to return to the Arcadia headquarters.
But when they returned, there was an extra person—no, it should be said, an extra clumsy snake.
"Roy-sama, is this pressure okay?"
At this time, inside Arcadia, Roy was lying on Shirayuki-hime's lap, being comfortably served by her.
Shirayuki-hime, in human form, had long black hair and an exquisite face, ranking among the top even among Roy's servants.
Plus, she was indeed very fair—yes… very fair all over—and had black-stockinged thighs.
Finally, adding her gentle, weak, and cautious temperament—this perfectly matched Roy's preferences.
"Yes, not bad." Roy smiled and nodded. Although her technique wasn't as good as Akeno's or Rias's, it was good for a first time.
