One after another, the special tasting events came to an end.
Across the countless spaces scattered throughout the Land of Sweets, every participant had competed against beings they had never seen, or even heard of before.
When the final round concluded, the private spaces dissolved into countless specks of light, gently returning everyone to the rainbow cloud where the giant jellyfish patiently waited.
Paul was among the first to arrive.
He stepped onto the cloud with his hands behind his back, adjusting his glasses with a calm smile.
However, the expression on his face made it seem as though he had conquered the world three times over.
Caelum too arrived and looking at Paul's expression, he couldn't help but ask.
"You won?"
"It was inevitable," Paul replied confidently.
"My opponent underestimated me."
Caelum briefly wondered whether Paul's confidence had returned again.
Jojo arrived soon afterward.
Unlike before, he now carried himself with an unusual air of composure.
