Chapter Title: Fox God VTuber Climbing the Tower
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The castle collapses once more, crumbling and falling to its knees.
No sooner had it fallen than orcs began swarming up its walls.
Advancing goblins let out hideous shrieks, drooling as they charged with weapons raised.
Despite Wakamo Corporation's valiant efforts, which had felled at least ten thousand of their ranks, the horde was still vast.
In its final moments, Adolf's [Skill] turned the monsters into statues of plaster, but the steel fortress ultimately buckled beneath them.
With a thunderous *KWAANG*, the castle toppled with such force that it shattered entirely.
What of the [Guardian Stone] inside?
The legion's numbers were so overwhelming that even viewers gripped their seats in tension. It was endless—they killed and killed, yet they kept coming, to the point of utter exhaustion.
Imagine this: if the Korean tower fell, unleashing a hundred thousand green-skinned legion?
Even if they couldn't approach the tower or leave its domain, they'd fill an entire district of Incheon to the brim.
-Ugh, that wriggling mass is fucking disgusting...
-My lunch is coming up...
-The way they trample their own to advance is pure madness.
Anyone could see it was an unnatural horde. American viewers now understood why Wakamo had called it underwhelming.
Nothing short of a [Man-Eater] could handle this level of insanity.
America's top [Man-Eater] had once single-handedly torn through over five hundred thousand monsters—more than this horde—earning a legendary record.
The problem was that climbers were mixed in among them.
It had taken the U.S. military's full mobilization to barely slay that special, extraordinary [Climber].
And this monster legion was madness incarnate.
They knew no fear or hesitation.
They trampled fallen kin, piling their corpses into crude hills, then charged relentlessly to tear climbers apart and destroy the [Guardian Stone].
*PSHAaaaa—*
The fully collapsed castle suddenly swelled taut, then erupted in a massive gas explosion.
Thicker than the choking dust clouds, a poisonous fog engulfed the green-skinned legion from the fortress's ruins.
The massive moving fortress bloated like a whale hauled from the sea, unleashing chain reactions of gas blasts!!
Green, purple, and yellow gases swirled chaotically, devouring the battlefield like living monsters.
"Nazis had no fuel for their army but sent plenty to gas chambers in the camps!!"
Adolf Lucia's voice, spewing bottomless loathing for her homeland, boomed so loud it nearly drowned out the legion's screams, wails, and roars.
Some viewers tuning in complained, wondering what she ate to rival a train horn.
"Even in the 21st century, do you know the company founded by Adolf Hitler under the German Labor Front still conducts gas chamber experiments, my friends!!"
-Why the sudden crazy talk?
-Fact: There was actually an article.
-Wasn't that the monkey experiments?
-It was to test if exhaust fumes harm health.
-Humans dying is eco-friendly.
-Someone stop this mad German.
-Why say that while unleashing gas lololol
"Life forgives no weakness!! We're purging monsters with gas to forge a better Lebensraum!!"
-Adolf! Adolf! Adolf!!
-Wow, this is real demagoguery~ Epic.
-That girl's got something that drives people insane.
-This is why artists are trouble.
-Demagoguery is an art, man!!
Even Pilot wasn't this bad, but Adolf Lucia spouted madness the moment she opened her mouth. It spiced up the VTuber stream, but from Wakamo's view, she felt like a ticking time bomb she couldn't shake off.
Jackson had said Adelheid had changed a lot, but this was society's fault...
"We know Wakamo-sama stands before us, the Wakamo Führer marches with us, and the Mein Führer follows us!!"
-It's showing her true colors now?
-Where do these fanatics come from...
-Insane freaks you won't see anywhere else.
-Truly untouchable, fuck...
-White Dragon's presence is getting buried.
-On the flip side, how do you even beat this lololol
-Mad German artist on a rampage, fuck!!!
"For my dictator!!"
-I'm losing my mind lololol
-Why's she speechifying from a unicorn?
-Is this the apocalyptic knight?
-Even checking the unicorn's mood in all that, for real?
-Glad she's on our side.
-Doesn't that mean Germany is screwed?
-Hippie revenge arc incoming...
From who-knows-where, Lucia hoisted a flag Wakamo didn't recognize, trumpet in mouth, blasting it for all she was worth.
"Speak!! Louder!!"
She began blaring *Lili Marleen*—the song beloved by Germans and Allies alike—on her trumpet, gripping the unicorn's reins as she charged.
It was worrisome plunging into the poison gas, but Wakamo cleared her path with [Idol's Storm].
A lone knight on a white steed pierced the collapsing front lines, where goblins and orcs melted, burned, or rotted alive.
Hoisting Wakamo Corporation's flag high while trumpeting the song, the sight evoked the white horse rider from Revelation.
-Plague's White Knight lolol
-No bow, so nah.
-But it's a disaster Germany unleashed, right?
-German on white horse racing through ethnic cleansing by gas.
-Nightmare fusion lololol
And behind her emerged [RX-78-2 TANK], smashing through the fortress.
Kang Yeoul had transformed using [VTuber Model], and Wakamo's party rode inside, unleashing attacks in all directions.
Even with no one at the controls, the steering wheel and gears shifted automatically—the believers burst out laughing.
With ultra-high-performance AI VTubers, why not next-gen autopilot? Yeoul's tanks rose in esteem daily.
Cannons blazing, it pulverized road-blocking orcs and charged freely.
No matter their numbers, it crushed them underfoot without pause, the spectacle bringing a strange satisfaction.
Still, there were too many.
Monsters hurled themselves on, drakes and rhinos rammed it, goblins clutched bombs and self-destructed on impact.
The tank reached its limit; Asuka shifted from unicorn to princess-carry Lucia aboard.
Too many—the orcs swarming the fleeing tank resembled endless zombie hordes from movies.
Even spamming [Idol's Storm], [Idol's Thunder], and [Idol's Flames] for wide-area barrages, Wakamo's attacks weakened against the monster wall—no further explanation needed.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAGH──!!!!"
Finally, they faced the green-skinned legion's commander.
A colossal beast roared, dwarfing any mere orc.
An ogre? No, even ogres looked human by comparison.
Its upper body grotesquely oversized against its legs, a monstrous face that overwhelmed viewers, clad in armor of assorted monster bones.
Not just any drake—an elite boss drake mount—and the commander emerged brazenly, raising its weapon high.
A 2-meter greatsword matching its bulk; at its command, elite monsters [Summon]ed around it.
"Mana Burn!!"
At Pilot's urgent cry, Wakamo cast [Idol's Mineral], transmuting the tank into solid metal.
It became a giant statue, but the orc elite wizard's Mana Burn merely scattered off the metal.
"WA!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Orcs roared in unison, mana-charged energy slamming Wakamo's party.
"Uwaaaah!! Aaaah!!"
Asuka's eyes lost focus, screaming in panic.
Afflicted with [Fear] status, Adolf knocked her out by smashing her head with an orc plaster statue.
"Tingly..."
-No way, group debuff hits only one?
-Party of iron ladies immune to death fears...
-Asuka... invincible online, fragile IRL...
-Smashes her head with a statue, no hesitation lolol
-But that statue's alive...?
"Pardon? Oh, yeah. Dismembered orcs, plaster orcs—all alive!"
-Don't wanna hear that.
-Gallery has Adelheid's monster collection.
-All statues, right? Right?
-She calls 'em taxidermy.
-Grants immortality. Say thanks?
-Freeze-dried~ non-rotting monster taxidermy~
-See the Six Freaks taxidermy there too.
-At this point, anyone picking fights with Wakamo boss is insane?
-Peak human folly lololol
Looking back, Wakamo had faced [Possession] or [Charm] attempts to seize her body, but never [Fear] debuffs.
Beyond overwhelming, it stiffened bodies into [Stun]—even enduring fear left Ichigo paralyzed in agony.
Like muscles seizing in shock... full-body cramps?
Pilot seemed unaffected.
Lucia? Baffling why it missed her, but she drew her chisel, burning with zeal.
"Huge orc!! Bigger artwork!! Glorious gallery!!!"
-All she knows is art...
-Monster fear? Sweeter than society's bitterness.
-Turns that sensation into art.
-Driving me crazy lololol
"Know of Japan's bullet hell specialist VTuber group, believers?! We're climbing specialist VTubers!! We won't yield to this!!!"
Wakamo punched through the tank's front, forging a path, then strode boldly toward the commander.
Behind her, Adolf licked her chisel with a sinister grin, Pilot cracking her neck with yakuza swagger.
They left Mei guarding Fear-fainted Asuka and Stunned Ichigo—Kang Yeoul stayed [Idol's Mineral]-solid.
It sheltered allies from orc and goblin attacks.
From that state, [Arrows] flew.
No bow—Wakamo mana-infused and hurled arrows pierced a [Wizard]'s head; Log swatted another mid-flight with reverse-grip sword.
The arrow spun wildly airborne, seeming doomed.
But it righted, pierced the wizard, and returned to Wakamo.
-Yondu Udonta! It's you!
-Wow! Mary Poppins!
-Wakamo wields a weapon!
-How even lolol
-Amazing every time.
-Just shot arrows? They hit, right?
-100% accuracy lolol
"Want something more fun?"
[Idol's Storm] for acceleration, Wakamo's [Mana Manipulation] for direction control.
[Projection Setting] turned the arrows invisible—orc faces paled.
Their high intellect foresaw doom. Add [Idol's Mineral] to arrowheads—
"[KRWAAAAA!!!]"
Orc elite warriors cloaked shields in red mana, forming ranks.
Even [Idol's Entity] wouldn't pass; translucent mana barriers rose like walls—but Wakamo's arrows erupted from *underground*, skewering from below to skull.
Orcs charged, seeing kin collapse.
"[Miniature Diorama]!!"
Lucia raised a cube glass case; her [Skill] activated, sucking in the commander and area wholesale.
Wakamo snatched the falling diorama, pocketing it.
Over eighty thousand orcs swarmed to kill her, but Wakamo's hand rested on her waist scabbard.
[Cheonchongun Sword] gleamed, drawn by her hand.
No fancy functions—but its blade mineral was top-tier [Rare Metal], unprocessable even now.
Edgeless, yet swings shattered most things!!
Mana-infused glow made it a lightsaber draw—believers cheered.
Unyielding against the horde, Wakamo cleaved through with one sword, unleashing One-Man Army.
The screen shifted to a beach with crashing waves.
They'd entered Adolf Lucia's [Diorama] world.
Dioramas recreate scenes in miniature, from 1822 French optical devices—beloved modern art.
Miniatures made them popular in all forms!
Even Hermann Göring loved model trains and planes for dioramas—its history speaks for itself.
And Adolf Lucia learned such a [Skill] climbing the tower.
Waves crashed on the shore; atop the hill, Greek temple ruins lay scattered.
A diorama of a Greek coastal scene, with the [Guardian Stone] floating nobly inside.
Now orcs understood why they'd tracked the stone only to meet Adolf atop the castle.
She'd had it from the start! Unlike Wakamo's [My Worlds], this was vicious in its own way.
"[Miniature Art]—!!"
Lucia clutched her chisel, slicing charging orc warriors along seams, dismembering them instantly, then hurled the miniature with all her might.
A massive tank lorry flew in.
"Tank lorry!!"
Cackling, she tossed who-knows-where-from Molotovs; explosions engulfed the commander and sucked-in orcs in flames.
Sea, terrain—all artwork—so fire spread inside; Lucia burned too, yet cackled like a witch.
"My [Skill] kills no one!! Same for me!! Burning pain~? Hehhehehe... Ahahahahaha!!! This is ecstasy!! Hot inspiration surging!!!"
-With respect, you're really on fire.
-Burning but not actually?
-But burning pain is real.
-Orcs screaming confirms.
-Why's Lucia fine?
-Life's more hellish than flames?
-Endures via faith in Wakamo.
-More like, what's with chiseling monsters lololol
"Everything in this diorama is [Art Piece]!! Jackson's model-building materials!! So slicing with chisel? No problem!!"
Lucia carved even flames into art, giggling.
Thus, her [Miniatures] grew inside—still dioramas, break glass to escape, but Lucia wouldn't allow it.
[Orc Commander casts [Fair Duel]!!]
[Target: Mare Pilot designated!! None may interfere!]
Lucia's assassin rush to dismember the commander—chisel repelled.
The commander's greatsword swing repelled her too, sending her flying—but spared.
Flames gone, the lone-rising commander grinned at Pilot.
".....Why me? Think I'm weak 'cause I haven't fought?"
-But Captain... did nothing...
-Real talk lololol
-Facts, no rebuttal lolol
-Captain just belt-swapped and spectated today lolol
-Orc commander sees shorty as weak, challenges instantly.
-Coward...!! No interferring?!
-Crush it, Captain!!
"Won't tolerate more insolence. Mad's fine if elegant, but filthy mad? Fine! You want ironclad *deeeeel!!"
Pilot metallized fists, clashing for metallic clang, fuming.
She'd done nothing, yet targeted first for weakness—absurd.
But this commander inflicted [Fear] even on emotionless Asuka.
Unknown skills, but Pilot raised fists in stance.
[No damage without weapon!]
[For fair duel, equip [Weapon]!]
"Whoa!! Insane!! Karate masters say body is weapon!!! Scraping my nerves?!?"
Pilot crossed arms blocking raised greatsword, gritted teeth, iron-fisted the giant body—no damage.
Korean tower analyzes climbers keenly.
Knowing Pilot's unarmed style, commander targeted her!
"Fuck, annoying!!"
*KAANG!!*
Palm-pressed the fierce swing's blade—sword aura whipped her waist, follow-up slash hurled her to sea.
Diorama "sea"—mere facsimile.
Tumbling on surface, Pilot grumbled "filthy" rising, hand to belt.
"VTubers are idols!! Always cautious to avoid scandals! Especially Japanese idols in Korea—exhausting!!"
-We get it.
-No need to ask.
-Japan has hate-Korea bookstore sections.
-Kyoto cheers you, Captain.
-Fr lol Kyoto beat Tokyo in baseball~
-Real capital of Japan? Right?
-Wakamo claims it, what can ya do.
-Lolololololol
"Crew's carefree—nice!! Hoo... Shall we? Got this belt from Captain!!"
-What's that?
-Looks like [Shape Shift] mage gear?
-Nah, shifts make it fall off lolol
-Spares belt, so no fight?
-Treasures boss's gift...
-So what gear?
Korean tower blatantly pushes it—Pilot hesitated, fearing chaos.
"Dad always said... Dokdo's Korean land!"
Perfect time to name-drop Kwonwang(?), flaunt strong backing—Pilot posed.
"Set Up!"
Belt deployed—*charrrk*—armor surged, deflecting commander's swing.
Overkill features—gaudy helm enveloped head.
Clanking armor sounds, thick helm-clad Pilot posed.
"Ahh—! Don't tell!! Using this, Korea'll steal it!!!"
-No fucking way lololol
-What's Dojeonggap?! What?!!
-Why actually transforming!!!
-Transformation, why not.
-Dokkoeshipping??
-But why steal that? Asking cuz clueless.
"[National Treasure Summon]!!"
Pilot gripped two 2m longswords, third in teeth.
Lips metallized for grip—mouth-sword, she yelled.
"Ultra Super Triple Blade Style!!!"
-That sword looks familiar.
-It's Admiral Yi Sun-sin's!
-Ah! Museum longsword~
-Why's Captain wielding it lololol
-And three swords on ground??
-Wearing Yi Sun-sin armor? Right now?!
-Why give Captain that!!!!
-Turtle ship owner? lolol
-This explodes, fuck lololol
-But why triple style?
"I don't know swordplay!!"
-Looks it lololol
-More swords = stronger lolol
Fearing drop, arms metallized press-grip—Pilot water-sprinted charge.
Clashing swords/greatsword—light Pilot pushed back—but arms blackened.
Hand longswords/mouth tanto [Shape Shift] remade wholesale—
*KWAANG—!!*
Swords collided—Pilot's heavier side repelled orc's.
"Triple Style Secret...!"
Crossed sword hands, raised mouth-blade forward—Pilot posed, focused.
Crew protested: "Joseon armor/swords for *that* tech?"
Body-parts lightning-shift exploded acceleration; [Element Shift] wind-wrapped, slashed past commander.
"Orc Beheader!!"
Charge pierced—three blades simultaneous chest slash; wind vortex scattered on beach.
*Pu-shaaak—!!*
2m blade dug through chest.
Bleeding commander staggered, eyes bulging at blade's toxin.
Ichigo's poison [Shape Shift]ed—toxin spread, commander collapsed dead.
-Fucking cool af lolol
-Wind wrap visuals!!
-Captain solos, no crew needed lololol
-IRL-impossible triple style Captain.
-Set legs on fire too.
-Lolololololol
-Just stupid strong, Captain!!
"Huu—"
Mid-slash, commander's sword grazed Pilot five times.
Scraped helm pieces worried repair—but she nonchalantly belt-reverted armor, flashed victor smile.
"Path to dojo clear!!"
-Triple style IRL shatters teeth.
-Ah! Master Shape Shift!
-Info: Wizards stronger.
-Just Wind Blade x3.
-But no romance.
-Lives/dies by romance Captain.
-True man of the sea!!
Screen shifted—applauding Iosif.
Planned surprise appearance scrapped—too many monsters, commander's challenge.
Pity; steady shots of missing 1st-gen built countdown—victory fanfare blared long-missed.
[Incheon Tower Floor 51 achieves Platinum, opens to all humanity!!]
[Tower Platinum clear boosts rewards]
[Climber gains +10 Ability Points]
[Choose 1 Reward]
[Idol's Tidal Wave]
-Consumes mana to summon waves.
[Object Interaction]
-Consumes mana to lift objects.
[Idol's Light]
-Compresses mana into physical light beam.
[Model Adjustment]
-Resize model.
Generous +10 stats for all climbers.
Pilot, Lucia, Ichigo thrilled with rewards. Asuka got none, awkwardly scratching belly; Wakamo eyed skill options wistfully.
'No [Skills] from guide. Idol route...?'
Nonexistent route unlocked—call it [Idol (Wakamo)] now.
All decent; Wakamo gave one to Pilot, picked [Model Adjustment] as fine.
[Acquired Skill [Model Adjustment]!]
Exiting diorama—Lucia, Pilot, Ichigo, Asuka emerged to monster corpse fields.
-Killed all that..?
-Faces 100k horde unflinching.
-Didn't know? Jedis don't fear numbers.
-Fr lololololol
-Jedi more, goblins win.
-Still ~20-30k dead?
-That's a ton lololol
Wakamo hid parts deliberately. Tested [Cheonchongun Sword]—Japan-reforged, edge holds fine.
Usually power-controlled fearing breakage—unneeded.
"Captain, armor wrecked—repair..?"
"No gear experience, dunno."
"Ah...."
Too sad—Pilot bowed, regretting ask.
"But Sachan... too many...? 100k a bit..."
Emperor-job forcing on Ichigo level.
Without Lucia, [Guardian Stone] lost to numbers.
20k next? Hopeless.
Moving castle—Jackson/Adelheid days-fixed—now rubble, remake from scratch.
Architect-training Jackson learned [Skills] climbing Russian tower—no time.
Honestly... full 51 floors plenty diligent.
No overdoing next?
Wakamo's rewards downgrade to trash... but Japan tower!!
"Japan tower rewards best, as expected!"
"Right~?"
Pilot suggested Kyoto tower too. Easier stats.
Korean tower... disappointing items from US tower...
"Iosif's no-show environment... tough choices..."
"Outcast setup's hard too!"
Post-stream, Wakamo chatted Lucia over goodbye.
Lately streams felt flat, low dopamine—regrets.
Climb streams succeed but risky... VTuber ideal...
"Revolution topples Korean tower?"
"No, Lucia...."
"But Iosif...."
"Not *that* Iosif!!"
Showing sulky Lucia—like scripted skit—stream ended.
Viewers scattered to communities.
No need movies—live stream suffices, they shared clips gleefully.
German artist's absurd skills, tower's unprecedented [Transform Item] heated climber forums.
Shockingly, belt-deploying armor debut: Pilot's [Immortal Dojeonggap] first ever.
Japanese OK? Wakamo earned/gave it...
Climber gear transcends nationality.
Turtle ship? Armor natural—believers enjoyed.
Some sulked no [Qi Cannon Blast].
Triple-style Pilot fanart flooded cafe; dad texts/calls poured.
Kwonwang avoided hassle—never said that!
Daughter's mess? Dad cleans—scolded.
Effulgent daughter: "You intro'd, take responsibility."
"52nd floor, I can appear? Right?"
Iosif, post-stream disappointed, asked Mei anxiously.
"Uh.... Climb first? Floor 9 now?"
"Just climb?"
"....Yeah?"
Mei soothed Olga—co-op via Climber Association.
She climbed to 40 in 3 days.
"Russia's #5... me...."
Sulky Olga at breakfast table.
"But VTuber strength unrelated to climbing prowess?"
Adelheid, pure curiosity over prepared meal.
"Content with viewers over climb time better?"
Too spot-on—Olga speechless, eyes squeezed shut.
"But! Wakamo prez said climb-concept VTuber group on stream!"
"True?!"
....Meant rhetorical.
"Wakamo prez meanie~"
Mei, out-of-body retort, munched sausage like no biggie.
