Chapter Title: Fox God VTuber Climbing the Tower
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"That's how it turned into Operation—Time—!!!"
"Ooh!!"
Regardless of whether the [Black Imoogi] was causing chaos outside, the four gathered members decided to take some time to discuss their thoughts on the current situation.
Even if reclaiming Seoul was delayed a bit, would Korea really fall?
"Report: The assailants numbered 20 in total. Without factoring in Seoul's danger level, we assess that 16 failed to arrive due to monsters or perished."
"A ragtag bunch!! Even so, isn't that way too sloppy hiring?!"
"Well... If there's no personal grudge, no sane climber would take an assassination gig. Better to climb the tower."
Pilot answered in place of the dumbfounded Unicorn Agent.
One of the climbers they fought had come to kill her just because he couldn't afford drugs.
The other was a pathetic loser who showed up to kill Sadako, the Fist King's daughter, out of grudge against the Fist King.
"Hmph! What's wrong with a wizard using magic!"
The guy was cackling about how he'd smashed her with his own magic—Pilot, giggling away.
The three Awakeners who ambushed their group had been fully captured alive, without fatalities.
The agents had neutralized them with measures in mind for potential tower entrants in Korea and confined them in a suitable spot.
No matter how Wakamo thought about it, they seemed far too half-hearted for anyone trying to sabotage Seoul's reclamation.
Still, 20 was a decent number. They'd heard Seoul was dangerous... Blinded by money? No, so they really were just a motley crew... Greedy for cash?
"For reference, excluding target Wakamo, the others were 4 million per head."
"What~? Even a bar prostitute gets more than that!"
Asuka nodded in agreement with the Unicorn Agent's words.
"Our Wakamo is a pro. Not some streetwalker—400 million? Please."
"Saying it like that makes me sound like a hooker, Asuka."
"Uwo tta tu tta."
"Blue screen only pops up when it's bad for you?"
Anyway, Wakamo patted Asuka's head, praising her.
Seizing the moment, Asuka buried her face in Wakamo's chest and took a big inhale.
Her mouth was wrecked from damage, so she tried to suck on the chest for mana recovery—Wakamo flicked her forehead.
If she willed it, she could even emit liquid mana, but it was highly compressed pure mana. It'd melt the ground, and undiluted, even Asuka's jaw would dissolve and leak.
How dangerous? Ichigo could mod it into bombs!
"I'll mix you some formula, so settle for that."
"Mama is the best!"
"This is the reality of a super AI treating the modern net like her playground...?"
"Plus, Asuka can run DOOM."
"I concede... You are a super AI..."
With everyone relaxed, jokes flowed naturally.
They chuckled softly, but it was just to ease tension.
Meanwhile, the support team treated their wounds, and the Unicorn Agent extracted embedded bullets.
"Too bad there's only one test suit from the government."
The Unicorn Agent grumbled to the technicians checking gear.
The cutting-edge protective suit, using magic stones as energy and including an exoskeleton, was Korean-made from materials Wakamo's tower runs yielded.
Designed so even normals wouldn't lag behind climbers physically and could shield against [Skills].
The technicians busily reviewed combat data, so only the four VTubers sat resting.
"So, any ideas on editing for the channel?"
"Asuka has a suggestion!"
"Let's hear it."
"Cut the hacking parts, CG them as all monsters, and upload! No issue once my ordered top-tier PC arrives!"
"Where'd the money come from?"
"Found it on the street."
"Aha."
No need to let viewers know climbers tried to kill them.
Won Da-hye's manager-hired CG team and super AI Asuka with 1,000 IQ could handle it.
They discussed edit points, added talking-monster lore to sell the VTuber broadcast fakeout, and planned big.
With a design team, they requested monster designs. Ample investment meant no issue.
Handed over footage, now onto [Black Imoogi] handling.
"Plan B success—lured to 63 Building, so next, we drop a 'tactical nuke'."
Ops team prepped contingencies. "Tactical nuke" sounded like missiles, but he clarified it was metaphorical for Wakamo's team.
They wanted max damage to gauge [Black Imoogi]'s power.
Wakamo's attacks wounded it somewhat, so it was killable.
But it was too damn huge.
"Might as well! Grab a cool shot! For sailors and OneX viewers, y'know..."
"Hmm... Add that later separately."
Added studio shots.
Detailed edits, CG, 3D modeling spots.
Planned studio shoots, then the group rose.
Unicorn Agent seemed swapped, but Wakamo said nothing to his thumbs-up.
No need for a shot guy to push after taking bullets.
"Alright, Plan A!!"
"Yes!"
※※※
The rampaging [Black Imoogi].
Chased by it: the [Alchemist].
A pure white something burst ahead of her, running parallel.
"[Who?!]"
"You're ugly! Die!"
Asuka atop it loosed an arrow that jammed perfectly in components, erroring motion—Imoogi headbutted, flinging the mecha far.
It rolled eyes at Asuka, but firepower from 63 Building pelted Imoogi, drawing focus.
"Run, Inari!!!"
Seizing the gap: a massive white fox with three tails.
Asuka and Unicorn Agent in saddle charged the ragged mecha; [Alchemist] reactivated it, spraying bullets.
White fox's wing-cloak blocked and deflected all incoming shots spectacularly!
Bullets auto-bounced off invisible film; mecha spewed steam, skidding ruined streets.
Sliding sideways, it spewed flames, fired soy missiles, guns blazing ferocious assault.
"Unicorn Agent! Hold tight!"
"Unicorn touching a virgin forfeits! Legs only!!"
"Ooh, hot guy."
Voice-modded Unicorn Agent yelled, deploying rear heavy MG at mecha.
Invisible angle: ammo bags on white fox's waist bulging!
"Watch, Uni-uni──!!! 500 RPM daddy burst!!"
Agent gripped Unicorn doll, prayed, pulled trigger.
Insane bullet storm shredded mecha plating to scrap instantly.
Not plain rounds—rare metal pricey ammo; [Alchemist] urgently raised shield, but—
Asuka's bow ignited, arrows aflame.
Tried arm-to-drill block, but arrow snaked midair, dodged upward.
Swooped like predator, hit cracked seam, massive blaze.
[Idol's Flame] burned from inside; unrelenting, spreading along arrow—[Alchemist] detached arm.
Three-tailed fox closed in; other arm's plating popped off.
Targeted "Ma-po" arm deliberately with Unicorn/Asuka barrage.
Lost deadliest weapon, judgment: "Restrain".
Wakamo noted surrender meant no attack.
And opposite arm hid same under plating.
Korea tower entry escape? Needed drag means—"certainty" she had—and hit.
Opposite arm launched ring, instantly binding Asuka, yanking back.
Didn't stop; Unicorn assaulted ring, so [Alchemist] fired at him too.
Bullet-torn rings: only two left.
"[Damn—!!]"
Conserve, fired at charging three-tailed fox, binding.
"[Gotta take hostages now....]"
From ring interior, Wakamo burst free.
"[What?!]"
VTuber Model to [Three-Tailed Fox] for run; reverted, tossed [Kusanagi's Sword] to "air"—[Alchemist] desperately fired last ring.
Wakamo couldn't react, bound, arms pinned.
243cm Wakamo fully wrapped; Asuka/Unicorn tumbled, legs pinned too.
Somehow caught, smug on luck—
Again—Wakamo erupted from ring inside.
Shrunk to kid-size, snatched earlier-thrown [Kusanagi's Sword]—not mana, [Wind]-cloaked blade, lightning-slashed behind mecha landing.
Swirl—
Grabbed spinning sheath, sloooow sheathing: sring—
"Cleaved the worthless."
Click—mecha bisected, slumped; [Alchemist] inside fainted out.
Portal agents restrained Alchemist, swiftly recovered mecha.
Asuka/Unicorn rings unremovable yet, carted off—but no need for later ops.
Star was Ichigo anyway.
Wakamo eyed [Black Imoogi] coiling up 63 Building.
Used overhead cam for intimidating close-up snake face.
Confirmed recovery, Wakamo portaled in, checked shots.
63 Building shook wholly as [Black Imoogi] coiled up terrifyingly!
"This that Korean movie..."
"Quiet."
Familiar somehow, but no! Pilot/Icchigo stomped rooftop; Pilot spotted below, yelled.
"Jump!"
"Whaa?!"
"We got one more teammate!"
Shackled Asuka coldly noted turtle ship was Wakamo too, so not extra?—AI logic, but Unicorn "both" scolded for no romance.
Racing rooftop, Han River leap—caught by "burned-gone" turtle ship.
Surfaced below, smashed into Imoogi midair, boarded Pilot/Icchigo.
"Always wondered: how do tokusatsu guys mount this?"
Pilot's pure Q: Super Ranger, Kamen Rider...
All transform-jump onto robot—how IRL?
"Special effects."
Icchigo curt: SFX, ignore.
Cut: Icchigo at helm yells transform at Imoogi lunging.
Pilot gripped lever by wheel, roared.
"Change!"
Clean record end!!
Viewers' reactions worried Wakamo plenty!!
But cool's all that matters!!
"Why turtle ship transform?"
"Cuz it's cool!!!"
Wakamo's cams captured live.
Turtle ship rammed Imoogi, sliding building base. Actually empty inside.
All safe, prepping next.
"Ready!!"
Won Da-hye signal—Imoogi-bit turtle ship glowed.
VTuber Model release—towering new form surged.
[Weight of Faith] minimized mass for agile moves!!
"Spot!"
Da-hye cue—helicopters overhead blasted lights on 63 Building.
Darkness fled: red-blue silk sky, gold scales—two-layered armor giant.
Arms crossed, massive general stood majestic on roof.
"No entrance line?!"
"Didn't think!!"
"Silver wings bearing hope! Shine peace green light or somethin'?!"
"Narration later─!!!"
Da-hye's unexpected jab—irritated Wakamo snapped.
Plopped down, eyes shut, full focus puppeteering— no reply spare.
View soared huge—Seoul panorama hit.
Cameras spun ruined-yet-nostalgic capital.
Arms-crossed [Warrior God Sword Dance Divine General Dragon General Deity].
"Quuuu—!!"
Drew sword, rooftop leap—Warrior God soared light, dodged Imoogi bite, downward slash.
Full weight—BOOM! Ground cracked, body slumped limp, but—
Blade barely bit. Tougher than thought.
Boss, duh!
[Idol's Flame]-cloaked Imoogi lunged maw; upward sword closed it, big backjump distance—sword high.
Blade gathered storm.
Wind-amassed gale slash whipped typhoon, debris vortex forward.
Storm swallowed it—grrind! Scratches only; Imoogi eyes flashed, maw wide.
Gathering energy—blasted flame!!
Un-dragon monster tech scorched Han even. Rails melted bent, bridges buckled snapped.
Flames direct-hit, form-held Warrior God endured.
Soon, midair grabbed upper jaw, yanked back hard.
Two portals: arm out other end—absurd yank Imoogi head back.
Flames skyward, burning smog—Imoogi stopped blast, tail whipped Warrior God hard.
Tanked, other arm seized lower jaw, pried wide.
Upper-grab arm "severed"—plummeted.
Empty portal above Imoogi: trailing severed arm—huge container.
CRUNCH—!
Panicked spit, but atop-falling Wakamo surged full weight, smashed down.
Maw tore, blood gush—container inward.
Target spot, reattached arm Warrior God throttled.
Imoogi writhed breathless—but BOOM! Throat explosion start.
"Kyaaaaak!!!"
Container: Ichigo's toxins/explosives packed.
Inward blasts tortured; bloodshot eyes glared death at Warrior God, charged—
Halted at massive mana in gut.
"Foresight is explosion—!!!"
Icchigo yell—container-with Wakamo arm (severed).
Mana-full, lizard-tail toss—[Mana Burn] hit.
Beeee—!
Eyes/maw beaming Black Imoogi split, light geysered, exploded.
Inner 300k mana spectacular blast!!
But endured, writhing to regen.
Wakamo shocked.
600k levels city; half internal and still form-regens!!
True foe.
Cracked steel skin gaps—Warrior God sword swung.
Head severed, spun wild to ground.
"Shoulda named the finisher."
Pilot's sigh capped scene.
[90-floor tower generates in Seoul Yeongdeungpo-gu!]
Familiar alarm—collapsed site: new tower rose.
Sky darkness lifted.
Tower light—assault monsters mirage-faded gone.
Warrior God front: huge Imoogi corpse vanished; ruined city remained.
Smog innards glowed sun victory-shower; Warrior God looked up, sword ground-planted pose.
"Mana pots NOW!! Can't move!!"
Wakamo panicked—mana triple-digits.
Drum-barrels gulped, bought-elixirs downed.
Asuka quizzed ops amid Wakamo's frenzy.
"Tactical nuke?"
"Association Chairman airlift via fighter."
"...So no need for this hassle?"
Asuka puzzled, but...
Good footage, whatever.
Finale—Icchigo radioed.
"This is hardme Icchigo. Mission clear."
"[Pro as ever, FOX team. Good work. Prep return.]"
Helis to Warrior God...
Icchigo's 2nd membership vid—done!
