[00:01] Pearl
    We're finished!
[00:04] Fay
    Can't you use Teleport?
[00:06] Pearl
    The farthest I can teleport is 30 meters!
[00:10] Pearl
    It'd be pointless this high up!
[00:15] Pearl
    Leshea...
[00:16] Leshea
    We should be fine at this speed, right?
[00:30] Leshea
    Ow!
[00:31] Fay
    Leshea!
[00:35] Fay
    Ow!
[00:37] Pearl
    Ouch...
[00:40] Fay
    Are we... on top of Uroboros' body?
[00:44] Fay
    Guess that means that the game's begun.

[02:25] Apostle A
    Tch.
[02:30] Fay
    It's all right.
[02:32] Fay
    Uh, hey. I'm Fay.
[02:35] Fay
    First, why don't we
    exchange some information?
[02:37] Orvan
    We'd appreciate your help.
[02:41] Orvan
    I'm Orvan Misketz. I'm the
    captain of Team Inferno.
[02:45] Orvan
    It's been a while.
[02:47] Pearl
    I-I'm sorry.
[02:49] Orvan
    Right.
[02:53] Orvan
    We've already had four members game over.
[02:55] Orvan
    Three couldn't handle the crash and
    were returned to the real world.
[02:59] Fay
    What about the other one?
[03:01] Orvan
    It was them.
[03:07] Pearl
    What's that whale that's flying in the sky?!
[03:10] Orvan
    The Arcane Court calls them Leviathans.
[03:13] Orvan
    They wait for humans to
    fall off Uroboros' back.
[03:18] Orvan
    Once their prey come falling, those whales
    immediately turn into ferocious piranhas.
[03:24] Apostle A
    I can't believe we have to go up
    against a god who's never lost.
[03:27] Apostle B
    This sucks...
[03:29] Apostle C
    We only have one more loss
    before we have to retire.
[03:32] Orvan
    You all need to cheer up! Don't
    forget this is being streamed.
[03:38] Orvan
    People around the world
    are watching our fight.
[03:42] Orvan
    Don't let them see you acting pathetic.
[03:43] Team
    Y-Yes, sir!
[03:51] Pearl
    Is that the meep here?
[03:53] Meep
    There's no point in me explaining anything.
[03:57] Fay
    Hey, what kind of game does
    Uroboros want to play with us?
[04:02] Meep
    The Forbidden Word. If you make my
    master say a certain word, you win.
[04:07] Pearl
    And what's the special word?
[04:10] Meep
    The game's objective is
    to find out that word.
[04:13] Meep
    Also, the word changes every game.
[04:16] Fay
    Well, that seems fun!

[04:28] Fay
    Are these its horns, too?
[04:32] Pearl
    They're basically buildings.
[04:36] Orvan
    The overall length of
    Uroboros is 10,000 meters.
[04:39] Orvan
    Out of all the gods, it's
    definitely the longest.
[04:42] Orvan
    According to our research, apparently
    there's usually a hint on its head.
[04:50] Meep
    This is a random trap.
[04:52] Meep
    If you don't find out the forbidden word,
    you won't be able to escape from here.
[04:58] Leshea
    Sky, clouds, horns!
[05:01] Leshea
    The forbidden word should
    be related to this game.
[05:05] Pearl
    Scales, Leviathan, electricity.
[05:09] Meep
    Oh!
[05:10] Meep
    I forgot to mention this.
[05:12] Meep
    You've actually already said the word.
[05:16] Orvan
    That's a huge hint!
[05:21] Pearl
    There's a time limit?!
[05:23] Leshea
    Uroboros is definitely purposely
    interfering right now.
[05:27] Leshea
    It's telling us that this should
    be easy enough to clear.
[05:30] Apostle C
    That's impossible to do so suddenly.
[05:34] Apostle A
    Horns, building, escape!
[05:36] Apostle B
    Game over, piranhas, retire!
[05:41] Fay
    Ouch.
[05:46] Pearl
    Huh? Why?
[05:47] Orvan
    That's it!
[05:50] Leshea
    Ow!
[05:52] Fay
    Ow!
[05:52] Pearl
    Ouch...
[05:54] Orvan
    So it's "ouch"... That is the only
    word we've said more than once.
[06:02] Leshea
    Is it telling us to leave now
    that we've found the answer?
[06:16] Pearl
    Um, can this god speak the human language?
[06:20] Fay
    It probably won't.
[06:22] Fay
    With how everything's played out so far...
[06:23] Fay
    I'm pretty sure the victory
    condition to make it say
[06:26] Fay
    "ouch" isn't as simple as it sounds.
[06:28] Fay
    For now...
[06:30] Fay
    let's try out different things.
[06:32] Pearl
    What are we going to do?
[06:34] Fay
    We're going to make it scream "ouch!"
[06:37] Fay
    Ow!
[06:38] Pearl
    You trying to stomp on this is like an ant
    going berserk on the back of an elephant.
[06:43] Fay
    Then why don't we try that?
[06:45] Orvan
    Focus all your power onto a singular point!
[06:47] Team
    Yes, sir!
[07:01] Apostle C
    But I used all my strength!
[07:03] Leshea
    Okay, okay. I'm next!
[07:13] Fay
    Wait, Leshea. If you go all out...
[07:15] Leshea
    Here I go!
[07:35] Fay
    I had a bad feeling about that.
[07:38] Pearl
    Leshea...
[07:41] Leshea
    I'm sorry! That was definitely my fault!
[07:45] Orvan
    Of course, we'll accept a personal
    apology from the dragon god.
[07:49] Orvan
    But there's no sign of
    Uroboros speaking at all.
[07:54] Fay
    This is a game of ingenuity.
[07:56] Fay
    Unless we can figure out how to get
    the god to say the forbidden word,
[08:00] Fay
    we won't clear this.
[08:01] Meep
    Oh, I forgot about the hidden rule.
[08:04] Apostle A
    Hidden rule?! You didn't mention that!
[08:07] Meep
    Sorry.
[08:09] Fay
    Now, now. Hey, it's okay. You told us now.
[08:13] Leshea
    So what's the hidden rule?
SIGN    Hidden Rule 1
SIGN    If you do
    XXXXXXXXX,
    XXXXXXX
[08:16] Meep
    If you do a certain thing,
    something will happen.
[08:20] Meep
    That's hidden rule 1.
SIGN    Hidden Rule 2
SIGN    After
    causing
    hidden
    rule 1
    to happen,
    you can
    momentarily
    XXX a
    XXXXXXXX
[08:23] Meep
    And when you cause hidden rule 1 to happen,
    you can momentarily do something else.
[08:30] Fay
    I see...
[08:32] Pearl
    The god's subordinates, the
    Leviathans, are chasing us.
[08:37] Fay
    Well, we are their prey.
[08:39] Pearl
    But I don't taste good at all!
[08:42] Fay
    Calm down!
[08:43] Fay
    They'll only come after you if you fall!
[08:49] Fay
    U-Um, Pearl...?
[08:52] Fay
    There's something way scarier
    than the Leviathans behind you...
[08:55] Leshea
    I see... I guess you're like that, too, Fay.
[09:00] Leshea
    Even during the days of ancient magic,
    the wisest sage in the kingdom said
[09:06] Leshea
    that a young maiden's bosom has the charm
    to overpower even the magic of the gods.
[09:11] Fay
    You sure that guy was actually a sage?!
[09:14] Leshea
    And then there's you, Pearl.
[09:16] Leshea
    I thought you were going to prove
    yourself to that lot back there.
[09:20] Leshea
    If you just keep whining,
    they're just going to think,
[09:22] Leshea
    "Welp, I guess she hasn't changed after all."
[09:27] Pearl
    W-Well...
[09:31] Pearl
    You're right. I can't complain here!
[09:36] Leshea
    Think you can work harder?
[09:37] Pearl
    I will!
[09:39] Leshea
    Can you run?
[09:40] Pearl
    I can!
[09:41] Leshea
    Okay, let's go explore!
[09:44] Pearl
    Right!
[09:48] Fay
    Good grief.
SIGN    Gods' Games We Play
[09:57] Pearl
    Is this the tail?
[09:59] Leshea
    Over here!
[10:01] Leshea
    Look at this thorny thing.
    It's super suspicious.
[10:04] Fay
    Yeah that scale's color is clearly distinct.
[10:09] Pearl
    I got it!
[10:10] Pearl
    I've discovered it!
[10:13] Fay
    Huh?
[10:14] Pearl
    This is a game to make Uroboros say "ouch."
[10:17] Pearl
    Which means... the scale that's a
    different color must be its weak point.
[10:21] Pearl
    So this thorny thing must be a diversion!
[10:25] Fay
    Er, Pearl... I have a really bad
    feeling about this, so—
[10:28] Pearl
    So basically, if you punch this scale,
[10:31] Pearl
    it'll be unbearably painful for Uroboros,
    who will let out a scream and surrender!
[10:35] Fay
    Welp, there it is.
[10:36] Fay
    This must be what Chief
    Secretary Miranda meant
[10:37] Fay
    when she called Pearl the
    Assumption-Autopilot Girl.
[10:42] Fay
    Okay, guess it's worth a try.
[10:44] Fay
    Pearl, attack!
[10:46] Pearl
    Leave it to me!
[10:48] Pearl
    This is going to be the memorable moment
    that I take down the undefeated god!
[10:54] Fay
    Oh, yeah. Just a word of advice.
[10:57] Fay
    Once you punch it, run.
[11:00] Pearl
    Wait, what?
[11:01] Orvan
    Pearl? What are you doing?
[11:03] Pearl
    Captain Orvan, just watch me!
[11:12] Fay
    Yup, I knew it.
[11:14] Pearl
    Huh? What?
[11:17] Fay
    Pearl...
[11:18] Fay
    How would you feel if someone
    suddenly smacked you on the head?
[11:22] Pearl
    Well, I'd get mad, of course...
[11:25] Leshea
    Watch your head!
[11:34] Orvan
    It's the god's trap!
[11:36] Orvan
    Careless actions will
    spell danger for our team.
[11:41] Pearl
    N-No. I just... wanted to be
    useful to everyone this time...
[11:49] Fay
    Calm down, Pearl.
[11:51] Fay
    Even if you hadn't, I would've tried it.
[11:54] Pearl
    Huh?
[11:55] Fay
    It's important to test our theories.
[11:57] Fay
    We have to test everything one at a time
    to discover the rules and victory condition.
[12:02] Fay
    Even if that attack had
    taken me out of the game,
[12:06] Fay
    I wouldn't hold you responsible.
[12:10] Fay
    We have to keep going even if there are traps.
[12:12] Fay
    With that in mind,
    the most important thing here is...
[12:15] Fay
    to not blame teammates even
    if they make a mistake.
[12:19] Fay
    Captain Orvan. You called that a trap,
[12:24] Fay
    but I can't imagine that
    a god this unconventional
[12:26] Fay
    would be happy using a trap on a few humans.
[12:31] Orvan
    Then what do you think it is?
[12:32] Fay
    It's a legitimate step towards
    conquering this thing.
[12:35] Fay
    If you attack Uroboros'
    tail, it'll retaliate.
[12:38] Fay
    That's the first hidden rule.
[12:40] Apostle B
    That's absurd!
[12:42] Apostle B
    Just look at this!
[12:43] Apostle B
    One wrong step, and we
    would've all been finished!
[12:47] Fay
    Only four members were thrown out.
[12:49] Fay
    But if Uroboros really wanted to target us,
[12:52] Fay
    it's way too strange that
    there aren't more victims.
[12:54] Leshea
    You're right. It's super strange
    to have all those beams miss.
[12:59] Leshea
    That's why it disguised it as a trap
     and landed only a few direct hits.
[13:04] Orvan
    Then what are you going to do next?
[13:07] Fay
    Look for the second hidden rule,
    of course.
[13:10] Orvan
    Any ideas?
[13:11] Fay
    Nope. Not at all.
[13:13] Apostle A
    Oh, come on...
[13:15] Fay
    This game doesn't have a time limit.
[13:18] Fay
    We can take our time reaching the final goal.
[13:26] Fay
    Hidden rule 2 involves doing something.
[13:30] Fay
    This "momentarily" part is weird.
[13:33] Fay
    What option have we not tried yet?
[13:37] Apostle A
    Man, I quit!
[13:38] Apostle A
    I don't understand any of this!
    It's impossible to clear this!
[13:42] Apostle C
    Even the Arcane Court accepts
    unconditional surrender with Uroboros.
[13:48] Apostle C
    Our opponent's too much.
[13:50] Orvan
    But we have some members that
    have already lost twice.
[13:54] Apostle A
    Well that's because six months ago,
    a certain someone held us back.
[13:59] Apostle C
    If we weren't all wiped out last time,
[14:01] Apostle C
    we'd still have a chance even
    if we lost to Uroboros now.
[14:07] Pearl
    I'm sorry. I...
[14:09] Apostle B
    We got stuck with Uroboros
    because of you anyway!
[14:12] Apostle B
    Why do you keep insisting
    on getting in our way?!
[14:16] Leshea
    Silence.
[14:18] Leshea
    Do you lot enjoy persecuting
    this girl that much?
[14:24] Leshea
    You're an eyesore. If you don't
    want to be here, then leave.
[14:28] Leshea
    I'll happily return you
    to the human world.
[14:33] Apostle B
    B-But it's not fair for a former
    god to protect a human like that.
[14:39] Apostle B
    It's true that we were all
    wiped out because of her.
[14:45] Leshea
    You fool.
[14:47] Leshea
    Ugh, never mind, already.
[14:49] Leshea
    You're so off the mark that it's not
    even worth getting angry about anymore.
[14:53] Leshea
    This isn't about your feud with Pearl.
[14:56] Leshea
    The reason I got mad is we're
    trying to play this game seriously
[14:59] Leshea
    and your terrible attitude is ruining
    everything because you're too emotional.
[15:04] Leshea
    This game is exciting, so why
    don't you just enjoy it more?
[15:09] Apostle A
    Enjoy it? You can't be serious.
[15:12] Apostle A
    There's no one else here other than
    you that hasn't completely given up.
[15:16] Leshea
    But there is though. There's a human
    right here truly enjoying this game.
[15:22] Fay
    Those beams were far too powerful.
[15:25] Fay
    Shooting those beams towards us humans...
[15:28] Fay
    If there's a reason other than overkill...
[15:39] Fay
    I see.
[15:42] Fay
    I'm going to make Uroboros mad one more time.
[15:44] Orvan
    You can't be serious!
[15:46] Fay
    There's going to be even
    more victims this time.
[15:49] Fay
    But in exchange, we'll definitely win.
[15:51] Fay
    So even if you fall back into the real world,
[15:53] Fay
    I want you to keep watching until the end.
[15:55] Orvan
    What are you talking about?
[15:58] Fay
    Leshea! Hit it as hard as you can again!
[16:02] Leshea
    I'll make sure it hurts.
[16:12] Apostles
    Wha—
[16:32] Fay
    There!
[16:33] Pearl
    Huh?!
[16:37] Pearl
    Why are the god's subordinates doing that?
[16:39] Fay
    No one ever confirmed that the Leviathans
    were the god's subordinates.
[16:44] Leshea
    I guess they were just neutral monsters.
[16:47] Leshea
    It's not just us humans that are mad
    about getting attacked by this god!
[16:55] Pearl
    Wait—
[17:00] Fay
    Finally, Uroboros is on the move!
[17:04] Pearl
    Does that mean we've completely
    figured out Uroboros' game?

[17:15] Meep
    That's amazing!
[17:17] Meep
    This is the first time someone
    made it to the final stage.
[17:21] Leshea
    Now, we just need to get it to say "ouch."
[17:23] Fay
    Let's go!
[17:25] Leshea
    First, we need to find its real weak spot.
[17:28] Leshea
    It's not in the tail, but its true
    vital point must be somewhere.
[17:32] Fay
    In that case... it must be below!
[17:35] Fay
    Uroboros didn't have any eyes.
[17:39] Fay
    No... it's hiding them!
[17:44] Fay
    The place you can only get
    to by using the Leviathans...
[17:47] Fay
    Meaning... it's right here!
[17:50] Pearl
    That's where its eyes are?!
[17:52] Fay
    To get Uroboros to say "ouch," we need
    to destroy these super flashy eyes.
[17:58] Fay
    Crap! Stop!
[18:03] Leshea
    In that case...
[18:08] Fay
    Both of those eyes are defense systems.
[18:11] Fay
    Enemies that approach the right
     get shot with the left.
[18:14] Fay
    Enemies that approach the left
     get shot with the right.
[18:17] Pearl
    Wh-What are we going to do?
[18:19] Fay
    We need a way to avoid detection.
[18:26] Pearl
    Hasn't this already been
    more than "momentarily"?
[18:31] Leshea
    Fay!
[18:32] Fay
    It's up to you!
[18:38] Fay
    Pearl, listen to me.
[18:44] Pearl
    Are you serious?!
[18:45] Fay
    It has to be done, and with perfect timing.
[18:51] Pearl
    I'll do it!
[18:54] Fay
    This is the end!
[18:58] Fay
    Climb!
[19:03] Fay
    Pearl, I'll leave this to you!
[19:05] Pearl
    Right!
[19:18] Fay
    It's following me!
[19:20] Leshea
    Lookin' good.
[19:22] Leshea
    I'm not going to hold back!
[19:34] Leshea
    Er... Maybe that was a bit too slow.
[19:42] Leshea
    Fay! I at least made sure
    to hurt it a little.
[19:48] Fay
    The gods only smile upon
    those who create miracles!
[19:59] Orvan
    It's no use. The light is definitely faster.
[20:03] Fay
    Time to compare our answers, Uroboros!
[20:07] Fay
    Transfer!
[20:08] Pearl
    The Wandering!
[20:20] Fay
    The one to defeat a god is a god themselves.
[20:23] Fay
    This was the strategy to beat you, Uroboros.
[20:38] Orvan
    Well, would you look at that?
[20:41] Orvan
    We're all one when it
    comes to the gods' games.
[20:44] Orvan
    Meaning since we challenged
    it at the same time,
[20:46] Orvan
    it means we also won against Uroboros.
[20:50] Apostle B
    Pearl actually...
[20:52] Orvan
    Everyone, it appears we've been repaid.
[21:09] Fay
    Are you Uroboros?
[21:11] Uroboros
    Not bad, tiny humans.
[21:13] Uroboros
    I guess I'll admit defeat this time.
[21:17] Uroboros
    Oh, yeah. You can have this.
[21:20] Uroboros
    It's one of my eyes.
[21:22] Pearl
    Wait... is this a God's Diadem?
[21:24] Meep
    Yup. This is the first time my master's
    been defeated, so you get a special prize.
[21:31] Fay
    Huh... What's this do?
[21:34] Uroboros
    If you have that eye, you can
    choose to face me anytime.
[21:38] Uroboros
    Next time, I'll think up an even
    harder game, so let's play again.
[21:46] Uroboros
    Huh? You're not happy? I'm going to make
    the next one a hundred times harder...
