Nonetheless, the moment Croakatoa gulped down the Sea Sapphire was basically the moment the gem was secured.
After all, no player would leave behind a pile of feces when their corpse disappears. Moreover, if Xi Wei really did establish such a hardcore setting, the courtyard where the battle against the high priest took place in the Rotten Bones event would have ended up smellier than a dung hole.
And if they did create one dung hole with every major battle, even if Xi Wei would ascend as a Greater God thanks to the Players' effort, none of the other gods would believe him when he introduced himself as the God of Games…
Therefore, as Eleena's familiar, Croakatoa naturally inherited the Players excellent System that prevents them from taking a dump anywhere, and he soon returned with the Sea Sapphire.
But the problem was that the System had judged that Edward's party did not secure the Sea Sapphire.
