(An animated GIF of Wakamo swinging the 70th-floor tower and sending the architect flying.)
Real-time footage shot and uploaded from America lololol.
Helicopters took off because they thought it was a terrorist attack, and reporters swarmed in.
It got perfectly captured lololol. Wow~ So this is what No. 1 strength looks like?
-Technique No. 2 would cower in fear.
-America got beaten by raw strength from a woman.
-Tower weaponization beyond mere collapse...
-She realized the wild ambitions that countless nations dreamed of, all with brute force!!
Russian bastards lololol they were total noobs lololol.
ㄴFor real lol just yank out the tower and swing it~
-This, for real, swinging the tower as a weapon makes you invincible, right?
-Smashing the swinging tower would cause a total catastrophe, it's a lose-lose lololol.

[Title: Let's Examine Our Wakamo-nim's Abilities]
Architect Doris J. Jackson.
A mad six-realms monster who broke out of prison and then built a new one.
Robbed banks, smashed up police stations.
Can dismantle and rebuild an entire city overnight.
Can even collapse towers, extorting money as a criminal.
Took on 3 shooters, got shot while smashing their heads with a hammer ㅇㅇ
Her tenacity is insane, and rumors say she's from the Hoods.
Word is, even under torture, she never cracked.
(A photo of Jackson defecting to Korea, saying she loves K-POP.)
Wakamo moved into the 1st-floor tower and immediately started city construction.
Heard the new captain got so excited looking at the materials he started dancing.
They say he trembled with joy, shouting "Long live Wakamo-nim!"
Draws 40-50 city construction blueprints per hour.
Pursues maximum efficiency, constantly revising and adjusting the city.
No clocking out, gets feedback while scarfing down food, works himself to death.
Word is, once the city's done, it'll feature in architecture magazines.
Interviews and awards incoming? Wakamo's 1st-floor tower is almost the size of New York.
About twice the size of Seoul.
Collector Yung Wei got beaten up by Wakamo-nim too.
Said he'd make Wakamo-nim the state religion, got punished for it ㅇㅇ.
But even architect Jackson chants "Long live Wakamo-nim" and works voluntarily?
What does it take for a Black guy to slave away for his master like that?
We've seen it in history books.
Don't dig too deep into the boss's identity.
-No, she turned a Doberman into a retriever.
-What makes them that loyal lololololol
-Heard she asks the residents where to build the shrine.
ㄴThat's a major decision ㅇㅇㅇ
-Japan's Fist King loves her, China's Chairman worships her, America's Black guys call her master...
ㄴThe last one's super dangerous lolololol
ㄴIs this for real lololol?
-Every talent in the six realms is getting raided by the boss.
-What's the secret lolololol
Architect Doris J. Jackson washed her hands of the [Six Realms], officially defected as a Korean climber, and moved into [Wakamo 1st Floor].
Naturally, there was tons of controversy in America about trusting and bringing in a famous criminal, but seeing her pour her soul into sincerely building the city, saying all her happiness is thanks to Wakamo-nim.
Her fanatical, cult-like praise even instilled fear in people, so they stopped digging.
They got anxious about what might happen if they pried too much.
Plus, articles trying to stir controversy about Wakamo vanished in seconds, and the writers suffered unspeakable mental damage, so no one wanted to know the truth anymore.
The existing residents? Roads, buildings, all sorts of structures popped up overnight—super convenient, nothing to complain about.
Bridges appeared, a harbor in the sea, a cable car to the mountaintop—all whipped up in a day by sleepless architect Jackson. No one hated it.
Of course, some were uneasy about the criminal.
But with the basic residency rule being subscribing to Wakamo Inarizushi, they figured if Wakamo brought her, it's fine—trust in her led to friendly attitudes toward Jackson, even thanks, making him feel proud in a way, thanking Wakamo.
He worked overtime beyond overwork, cutting sleep to build the city.
Wakamo's fortune was so vast that buying merch wouldn't dent it, so she gave him free rein, letting him indulge his dreams in this golden age of happiness, even erecting a massive Wakamo Inarizushi statue in the city center.
Of course, Wakamo heard and politely asked him not to.
Her humble, frugal mindset moved him, and in a reporter interview, he said:
"The tower sealing Wakamo-nim's power is humanity's loss. Do you know how benevolent, virtuous, and magnificent an idol she is? She gave a criminal like me full support, trusted expert opinions above all, infinite trust—such excellence! What is a 'nim'!!"
It got a bit overboard, and the latter half was too extreme, so it got cut.
Wakamo wondered where she learned that.
She just let him do whatever he wanted—why'd he turn into a fanatic?
She mentioned there might be commissions from China and Japan needing architecture, feeling a bit sorry.
More work? Places needing him everywhere!! He cheered.
Thrilled to work under someone who valued his skills, clapping at the wings for his dreams—Wakamo felt pity.
...She really suffered a lot.
As a climber, he's a senior with 6 years under his belt.
With his 『Legendary Class』—read as "mom-and-pop one-man Mormot Inc. with no 4 insurances"—pioneering from scratch, how hellish were those days... Wakamo empathized so hard she offered to let him rebuild Korea's capital.
Seemed like just piling on work.
But sliding on the ground, flipping in the air at the glory of leaving his name as an architect rebuilding the capital—he looked happy, so it was fine.
Legendary Classes are all nuts, clearly.
"Master gave a present!!"
"No, don't say it like that, people will misunderstand!!"
"Blacks can make those jokes!!"
"......."
Hard to argue, so Wakamo shut her mouth.
Whatever she said, it'd backfire...
And just like that, she accidentally became the fox god who went to America, freed Black slaves from cotton fields.
Café flooded with memes surpassing Kim Gu's cultural victory—Wakamo's regressive era.
Amid it, SM outfit Wakamo whipping a happy Black guy fanart—really okay?
Articles about Wakamo hugging him, with believers commenting "She hugged him? My horns hurt so bad... Unicorn piercing, can't take it..." made her dizzy.
Wakamo-nim's chair, human pony—fanart board turned Sodom and Gomorrah. Wakamo laughed it off as fans having fun.
Then she spotted Aska posting she's Wakamo-nim's exclusive slave, pondered, and gave her 3-day ban for sexual harassment.
※※※
"Harro~bo~! Wakamo-ya~!"
"Starting today, I'll be in your care. Order Maid Aoi Aska."
"....? Aska, what's with that greeting?"
"The evolving future era! Order Maids in every home... That's right. Roboco."
"Is it broken again...?"
-lololol Starting off with nonsense again lololol
-Master's working the slave hard lololol
-Still seems high-performance lololol
-She actually ranks high in performance.
-Among real AI VTubers, she's top-tier.
-Boss posted her own whipping pic on the café, got 3-day ban-worthy.
-WHAT THE FUCK?! Missed it!!!
-lololo You missed that lololol
-Your fault for missing it, believer!!
"Alright~ Today's Wakamo Corporation collab!! I wanted to join a big streamer server, but... [Build Craft]!! Wakamo Server launch!!"
"I, Aoi Aska, made it in one day."
"Everyone, look forward to it! We'll spend the whole day healing our hearts! Fishing, decorating houses together! Building structures!!"
-Just hire the architect and do it IRL?
-Slave, build a concert hall.
-Already did.
-oh lolololol
-Not getting exploited, I'm the one rubbing lol
-Wakamo-nim has a devoted Black worker...
-You're Yasuke from today.
-lololololololololol
"Aah, really! What do you take me for!! I'm not making slaves!!"
"Indeed!! Aska is a pet!!"
"No, don't make it worse! That's even weirder!!"
"Then call me a preschool beast. Ungae, Aska 1zal."
Wakamo pulls out her fan and smacks Aska's head.
Now it's routine, believers just laugh.
Born this year, not even 1 year old, no ID—preschool beast!!
Aska shows ambition to gain human rights as a VTuber someday; lesser beings just laugh.
-Our superior being has no rights lololol
-Humans have resident numbers, why not you?
"Isn't numbering for livestock?"
-That's true...
-Solid point...
-What? Koreans are slaves?! Not wrong...
-Rather be raised like livestock.
-You there! Subscribe to Wakamo-nim, become human livestock on Wakamo 1st Floor?
-Write "believer," read "slave"...
"Really!! Stop teasing!!! Alright!! Everyone, log in!!"
Pumpkin-excited Wakamo claps, says chit-chat's enough, let's enter [Build Craft] together.
Bring pigs, cows, chickens for farms... Decorate dream houses... Farm, fish...
Days of blood and guts every day. Climbing's all fights—need this lazy healing time sometimes.
Believers might want dopamine, but Wakamo wanted to try it.
[Wakamo Corporation Build Craft Server] built and decorated by affiliated VTubers... Just imagining it feels warm and cozy, right?
-Chatting while fishing together sounds fun lololol
-Already hyped what Pilot builds, upvote lol
-Can this crew even build houses well?
-Newbies dying in lava so many...!
-Boss knows a ton!!
Entering with hyped viewers, vast landscape unfolds.
[Build Craft] is a famous game where everything's blocky: survive alone or with others—build, hunt, farm, gather, PvP, explore, circuit design, even make your own game. No set goals, total freedom.
Corp VTubers make servers for memories, streamers run massive ones for big collabs—its charm.
Now Wakamo Corporation, with 4 members, starts theirs.
Pioneer this server together, show off to new members later, share memories with viewers—wholesome days...
History's first page! Being written now!!
Super excited Wakamo controls her character, runs to tree, punches it bare-fisted, starts crafting tools.
Watched tons of VTuber Build Craft vids.
She's confident her game knowledge is tops in the group.
As president, planned command and leadership sleeplessly last night—super hyped!
"Uh, is this the Build Craft I know? Aska?"
"What's up, cotton candy sheep."
"Don't call me like some smoker! My name's Mare Pilot!"
"My bad, bit my tongue."
"No, on purpose."
"Bite your tongue and die."
"Definitely on purpose!!"
Pilot checked coords pre-meet, listened to crew tips, researched info... but something's off.
Subtly different from YouTube vids.
First, brain icon bottom-left corner suspicious.
Captain too thrilled for group play to notice.
Graphics too high-quality, character skins prepped, movements unlike standard Build Craft—Pilot felt ominous dread alone.
"Chilly..."
Meanwhile, lone Ichigo felt weird unease.
"Something feels off..."
Hajime Ichigo's crisis sense tingling.
Her "survival thrill" reacting full blast.
Sensitive as feeling static from airport gates' magnetic fields—instinctual danger sense.
Rustle—
Grass rustle nearby. Cow? Pig? Chicken? Ichigo spins screen.
"What the hell is this?"
-Alien ㅇㅇ...
-Saw this in a movie.
-Damn, implemented perfectly?
-lolollol
-lololloloolololol
-lolollol??????
-Ichigo!! Run!!!!
-Running but shaaa!!!!
-Fell for it!! Aska's trap!!!!
SF horror movie alien charges Ichigo.
Superhuman reflexes: walls up blocking path, digs down, seals ceiling, escapes.
Friends marvel at survival expert's 3-second response.
"What kinda hell is this...?"
-No.
-No way.
-No one'd play this lololol
-Wild aliens?!!
Sudden alien invasion on peaceful healing server.
Movie promo? Friends ask; Ichigo tilts head, yeah something's wrong.
Anyway, collab, so she grabs pickaxe, digs tunnel.
Descent: eerie screams, monster howls, creepy BGM everywhere—friends shiver scared, but Ichigo calm.
"Back in the day, worse spawns nonstop."
-ah lololol
-"Die and character respawns."
-Vs real apocalypse, endlessly cute lololol
-Different hells endured!!!!
-But boss can't handle this?
-? Why?
-Boss is a huge scaredy-cat lololol
-??? What?
-Unbelievable, but our boss is a massive coward lololloloolol
Wakamo stares blankly at blazing forest.
Her solemn face speaks volumes without words.
Her [Build Craft] wasn't this horrific.
Not this hellish...
"Added biome natural sounds, realistic audio for immersion, echoing threats for chills—sound mod installed."
Aska explains like a chef proudly detailing care to fancy restaurant guest.
Took a day, but poured love thinking of Wakamo-nim—beaming proudly at her Wakamo Server.
"Alien mod, parasite mod, night horror monsters, etc. Tons of mods. Brain at screen bottom? SAN drops, see ghosts—sanity mod. Fishing/farming recovers it."
Didn't wanna know.
Field corrupts over time, parasites wave by date—desperately survive, defeat evil Mother Brain(?) threatening world. Aska boasts her masterpiece.
"Why'd you do this...."
Wakamo, suppressing scream urges, fearfully smashes parasites with wooden sword, finally joins Aska, asks.
"....Why? Why...?"
Aska tilts head 90 degrees, baffled why asked.
"'Cause... it's fun."
"You're insane!!!"
"Captain, some folks defy logic. No bribes, threats, persuasion, negotiation work. They just wanna watch the world burn."
"No, Pilot!! It's actually burning!! My server!!!"
Pilot says she's always like this, Wakamo reluctantly accepts.
But requested fun-for-all server, she spent a day on cosmic horror world?
Wakamo tearfully protests maker.
"What's fun about this crap, Aska!!"
"Believers wanna see Wakamo-nim scream. Fun broadcast's all that matters, right? Scream in terror, delight the faithful, Wakamo-nim!!"
"Kyaaaaaaaah──!!"
-ah lololol this is it lololol

-Tower climbing baseline lololol
-Boss panicking screaming already lololol
-Nails the owner perfectly.
-High-perf robot grasps viewer needs spot-on...
"No!! But scrapheap!! Wooden sword—how we supposed to fight this?!?"
Pilot snaps at Aska seeing alien/horror/parasite hordes—there's a limit!
Aska raises hand: Didn't I say high-performance maid?
"Service time for flea-level viewers♡ Moe moe~"
Flirty voice full of love, winks.
Hands high, hearts to viewer screens.
"Divine Qi Fear Beam!!!"
Pew—
Boom.
Hand beam vaporizes rushing aliens.
"See? Aska's power? Not some basic AI VTuber!"
"No, total mess!! How do you even shoot that?!?"
-lololloloololloloolol
-Going insane!!!
-She's in her own game mode lololol
-Why qi beam?!!
-Horror or action, pick one..!
"I'll teach you, alcoholic. 'Some things science can't explain'... Nah. Find rules for the unknown. That dogged effort? That's science."
"Dogged indeed. Beat fantasy with science."
-Where you even agreeing lololol
-Why captain compromise so fast lololol
-How'd she get convinced!!!
-But these bitches quoting anime lines!!
-Doctor Stone's fun...
-Post-apoc humanity rebuild server?
Pilot valiantly charges with wooden sword; Aska blasts her and foes alike from behind with qi beam.
Ichigo steadily mines, builds underground base, sips tea leisurely.
Wakamo chased by monsters, screaming "I don't know this game!!" hoarse, tearfully calling mom in terror.
Corp VTubers nurturing Build Craft server.
Wakamo Corporation kicks off massive long-term content.
