The arrival of the StarSea players not only failed to help SS Rita, it became a liability.
Just as QM Rita had planned, the mind control coins no longer flew only toward Quiet Mountain players. With far more StarSea players present, the chance of them being affected skyrocketed.
This directly freed up Quiet Mountain's combat power.
StarSea players posed no real threat to Quiet Mountain players. As long as they were not controlled by SS Rita, Quiet Mountain had countless ways to coordinate, survive, and deal damage.
QM Mistblade withdrew the effect of "Downfall" from SS Rita and instead applied it to the strongest players inside the cage. QM Maple Syrup did the same, using "Decay" on the weapons and equipment of StarSea players.
QM Rita released the cage once more. Hundreds of chains shot into the air, and all enemy targets inside the cage were forbidden from flying.
