Following the logic of Divine Game, it was inevitable that players would eventually be sorted into different brackets based on performance or strength.
And because of that, Rita knew this—this crushing phase—was her window.
Sure, staying low-profile would let her hang out in the Fish Belly division longer.
But hiding her strength meant wasting her edge—letting all those Blocks slip right through her fingers.
She couldn't do it. She wouldn't.
There was one thing Rita didn't want to admit, but had no choice:
She couldn't forget the last game's divine assessment.
That phrase still lingered in her mind:
"You wasted [Midnight Exile]."
So now, she would make full use of it. Before player pools got reshuffled, she needed to extract as many Blocks as possible and convert them into game item fragments.
If the sorting was based on Block count and their attribute bonuses, converting Blocks into [Game Machine That Loves Games] pieces might delay her bracket change.
