[Title: Are They Really a Villain Alliance???]
An art school drop-out from Germany just joined the Wakamou Corporation.
Blue Thunder’s Cybernetic Ultron Tengu Bolt.
A karate traditionalist Japanese Navy admiral who’s a pirate in name but a navy in spirit.
The last descendant of the Hwangjo family, reborn as Yoo from Incheon.
“Dalki”
This is truly the Surreal (Virtual) Liberation Front…!
– Seriously, are they the Suicide Squad LOL
– Shouldn’t they come from Italy?
– Feeling like a Russian secretary here.
– Isn’t this at the level where we need to consider international relations?
– Legendary Class has at least three members in one group…
ㄴIsn’t it four??
ㄴThat person hasn’t worn the crown yet.
ㄴLOL they’re insisting on the royal succession.
– If you call the King of Authority in China and the ninja in Japan, this company will come running.
– There’s a Vtuber company that’s the strongest in East Asia.
ㄴTheir finances and military are both top-notch…
ㄴThe Leader warned against calling him Dalki, is that cool?
ㄴDude, why didn’t you tell me earlier?
ㄴToo late to delete it, bro. I’ve got the PDF.
ㄴPDF LOL.
– Oh, Wakamou bro!! Because of you, they’re all becoming idiots!!

[Title: Let’s Learn About Adelheid von Bismarck]
Let’s take a closer look at our ‘Artist’ from Germany.
This young lady’s skills are a global laughingstock.
To climb the tower, you have to kill the monster, but she can’t kill monsters by any means.
If Adelheid tries [shoveling and burying alive], the monster wouldn’t die even if it’s buried LOL.
Damn, it’s absurd, but in a way, she’s the proof of the tower’s mystery itself.
She ignores physical laws and common sense.
Germany sponsored her for a year, but the country ended up suing her for being a useless mess LOL.
While neighboring countries like the UK have [Sword Masters] or France-born [Artists] and Poland’s [Drivers] achieving success…
Germany was so embarrassed they erased her existence.
In the end, this promising artist’s life was ruined by the tower, diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer stage 2.
Even after selling her artworks to pay off her debts, she had over a billion in debt, but Wakamou’s CEO recruited her and paid it off.
Now it raises the question: Can they develop this? But Wakamou Leader pulled it off, 10th floor cleared.
You all know climbers rarely die of cancer.
Anyway, Adelheid is living a tragic life like a modern Gogh, even disowned by her parents.
Asked Asuka, and she’s now a devoted believer in Wakamou…
– Why bother brainwashing? Just let them follow in spirit and soul.
– Ah… my mine Führer… you were here…
– My soul, my light, my life, my love… Wakamou…
– The Leader’s foresight is incredible LOL
– Heard an architect introduced them? Legend classes in non-combat fields share contacts, apparently.
– There’s a Fox Deity that extends a hand to the discarded by the world…
– Meaning, I hope there’s participation…
– By the way, isn’t this a red pill reference?
ㄴAh.
ㄴYou’re not going far bro LOL.
ㄴSpreading the red pill naturally, I see LOL.
ㄴLeader, let’s go for human sacrifice~
ㄴWakamou-sama!! Sending one up!!
Wakamou Corporation.
It’s the largest Vtuber company in South Korea.
With two legendary class climbers currently belonging, it’s arguably the unparalleled top of climber enterprises in Korea.
Receiving support from the Climber Association and the government, there’s no force daring enough to oppose them.
Rather, the Wakamou Corporation seeks coexistence by sponsoring and supporting climber guilds to keep society running actively, so there wasn’t really any force opposing them.
The power of the president Wakamou was simply beyond what humanity could handle, so there wasn’t any wish to incur any displeasure.
Her concern was, among the best Vtubers like the mighty pink orca from Germany and automatic dolls, how to highlight Adelheid… actually, “Adolf Lucia’s” charm.
Running her Vtuber company genuinely, she boldly invests in her affiliated Vtubers doing whatever they want, that was the greatest feature.
Though she dreams of an ideal idol Vtuber form, dreaming for them, Wakamou never demands or asks them to do so.
Though it’s obvious what type of Vtuber she likes, enough for everyone to know without her saying─ if you try too hard, Wakamou will tell you firmly to stop.
She has already told Pirate and Asuka not to do so.
Lucia, in particular, seemed to be getting obsessed and destructive over it, so Wakamou had told her to do the broadcasts she genuinely wanted, about 37 times.
Mei Xiao Long Bao was told about 159 times, but Wakamou’s persuasion was quicker.
“It sounds good every time!”
Balancing editing work with schedules, Wakamou played through Ichigo’s songs on her playlist, replaying them.
Ichigo’s debut album [Laughing Flower Bloom]. A rock music-like second album [All or Nothing].
And the recently released [In Your Faith, Hope, and Love]!!
The indie music with a romantic feel featured Ichigo and her members eating, preparing broadcasts, showing daily life scenes, praised by their fandom friends.
For the second album, many felt the voice was too cute to match the powerful songs, so while the video was good, the music was somewhat lacking.
Analyzing and researching what music genre suits her, yet boldly tackling many things, Ichigo has been fervently playing a Romance of the Three Kingdoms game, thanks to friends gifting and recommending it.
She was the only member growing into the ideal Vtuber Wakamou pursued, and Ichigo received a lot of love from her fans for her consistent daily effort, with many posts on the café.
Meaning, to cater to fans, it seemed time to soon prepare the third membership broadcast…
Considering if there’s any need to do something other than the Seoul liberation, Wakamou checked if areas in Japan were impacted by tower collapse.
Community posts occasionally asked if other affiliated Vtubers wouldn’t do special membership broadcasts.
Asuka, who ran broadcast 24/7, somehow managing two accounts… though broadcasting separately for memberships.
Mainly doing ASMR, with the non-human nature shamelessly granting all requests. Studying all sorts of data, she showcased impressive professional skills, mesmerizing fans by reproducing everything vocally without purchasing numerous props.
Pirate, as usual, focused on small things like watching anime or theater movies with viewers, spending time chatting, casually conversing, as they say…
Recently moving from alcohol discussions to a car obsession, Pirate even created a car board on the café, often playing racing games, chatting on car topics.
This seems to have failed seriously, as the chat window revealed all crew laying down asleep.
Failures happen sometimes…
“Tsk…. I don’t want to debut first-generation members in sequence….”
Normally, companies go through interviews and preparations, then debut all at once within one or two days.
Referencing numerous Vtuber companies, Wakamou was contemplating managing limited teams like otherworld idols.
But naturally, as membership grew, ambition ballooned, increasing concerns.
In an era with neo-Nazi eugenics pessimism, anti-technology human sacrifices, honorary Aryan rabbit Vtubers, wouldn’t a German art school drop-out artist be okay?
There was also the option to debut together with Mei Xiao Long Bao as a first-generation stream.
However, simultaneously managing Wakamou and Mei Xiao Long Bao as Vtubers broadcasting together was too difficult a hurdle currently. Practicing diligently but, during editing and mulling over these worries, Mei was drooling, staring into space.
When asked if Adelheid was doing drugs…?
“It’s legal to smoke marijuana in Germany! Do you want a puff? Uh-huh… Drugs do inspire art…! But relying on such petty substances is what baguette folks would do!! Adelheid’s art… beauty… is… in a clear consciousness! Love for Wakamou!! And──”
Hmm, connected unnecessarily.
Adelheid doesn’t know much else but could probably chat alone looking at the screen.
Blinking her eyes, pondering if doing 『Seoul Liberation』 wouldn’t be a bit too soon.
Mapo-gu, Seodaemun-gu, Jongno-gu.
With just these three areas successfully reclaimed, later regions’ reclamation becomes feasible with the Korean government and Climber Association’s power.
This time, aiming to push through Seodaemun-gu.
The capital of Korea, lost with the emergence of the tower. Climbing and cooperating with climbers, it took them over 10 years to restore this far.
Founded the organization to manage and operate climbers after conquering towers─ took 10 years to stabilize the country.
Initially aggressive drafting and repressing climbers led them to flee abroad. Thanks to Wakamou, Korea has been changing and stabilizing so much that those returning home have emerged.
Most of the populace condemned them as traitorous deserters, keeping them away. Climbers are just ordinary humans, scared of risking their lives.
Realizing the constant life-and-death battles were somehow carried on, brought a little contemplative smile.
Now it’s a funny thing to think so late, but Wakamou Inarizushi only needed to do the Vtuber broadcasts.
Being a Vtuber doesn’t mean you climb the tower… being a Vtuber means you climb the tower!!
Better contact the manager for the Seoul Liberation plan…. Ah, they’re on leave.
Hearing news of a useless trash expectation, only a mere climber, a legendary class at that, being taken away was tough from the start.
Heard after becoming a climber, the German government tried everything for a year, with rumors of other countries approaching, [Six-legged Beast] being sent── in essence, the world touched base but failed and left.
She’s survived well. Praising her for being earnest and persevering.
Wakamou Corporation practically picked up a physically and financially ruined artist, an invaluable asset.
Maybe they’re in shock, stunned seeing Wakamou get her up to the 10th floor?
Germany, for honor’s sake, shouldn’t thoughtlessly demand their citizen back. Her parents disowned her.
Having overinvested in an engineer became [Six-legged Beast] yet she isn’t discarded, kept to preserve national power for other country’s contingencies, isn’t this an unfortunate national procedure?
But that isn’t bad.
With resources pouring from the tower now.
Climbers are unmatched premium human resources.
More numbers raise national strength, a single special one can reverse a nation’s standing.
Even Korea, before Wakamou’s appearance, maltreated climbers, known as a pitiful nation where climber human rights were rock bottom.
Now central to the East Asian coalition, proof of climbers’ significant influence globally.
A well-raised climber can overturn everything!!
Wakamou’s influence has global dynamics shifting, climber courtesies soaring sky-high unaware of heights.
Making tidy profits from stocks due to this.
“Not needing to profit from this, but habitually…”
It was decided to invest all earnings into Adelheid for now.
After all, asking Wakamou to buy everything, working hard climbing the tower─ It’s mostly art tools thus unsure if it’s ideal.
“Then shall I climb soon?”
Planning schedules, finishing editing, organizing agendas with contemplations.
Wakamou sipped Mei Xiao Long Bao made coffee while Wakamou stretched with all might.
Didn’t particularly feel refreshed or anything, just a simple habit.
“A jump when entering is courteous!”
*
“Pirate told a school skipping story. Living in the city is nice. I’d only meet a bear if I did that, living in the countryside.”
Starting a broadcast, Wakamou told Pirate’s ditching tale, promoting it for believers’ enjoyment.
– A tiger is better than a bear.
– Can Leader run away from bears at that level??
– Did Leader have the concept of school in childhood?
– Teaching children during a mundane tribe era…
– Learning days from the Queen Mother LOL?
– The volcano supreme panel master always jumped walls…
“Meeting a bear mostly means death. Hard to escape too.”
– You can’t flee though you run at lightning speed?
– Bears from Asia were speedsters it seems.
– Heard they were fast, but faster than lightning…
– No wonder game bears were so strong LOL
– Strong bears trained, leaving only weak ones alive.
– It’s because bears ran from Leader, survivors remain.
– So bears instantly wary seeing people!
– Should we journey back to the mountain for a reminder of the bear’s discipline?
“You folks, don’t tease me too much for claiming countryside roots?”
– Countryside (beyond reach)
– Hey, don’t mock your ancestor!!
– Could be older than the nation founder embodying Hongik Ingan ideals.
– Already expired…
“Well, how will this tower climb go~~”
Honestly, wishing it was less exhausting.
Excited with spectator participation skills yet.
Difficulty spiking onwards, tower collapse threats, tired Wakamou beyond whims.
Yet as they say, with great power comes great responsibility?
Resolutely shaking off fears, Wakamou stepped toward the next level.
[Climbing Incheon Tower 44th Floor World]
-[Climber Wakamou Inarizushi’s] achievements heighten the difficulty!
-Overcome the [Elite Monster]!
-Defeat [Amabupugana].
[Platinum Achievement Conditions]
-Defeat [Amabupugana] (0/1)
-Avoid possession by [Amabupugana] (0/1)
PFFFAAAH!!!
A massive gathering of human-shaped somethings in midair.
Realizing they’re spirits, Wakamou swiftly leapt backward to face off.
Snapped fingers shooting [Idol’s Flame], yet striking elsewhere, with no target acquisition, exploding oddly.
– What is that??
– No clue?
Wakamou hastily researched the unknown monster name online.
Information promptly emerged on a monster appearing in the Southern African tower, possessing comrades, rampaging, ultimately forcing suicides, a ghost-type monster.
Meeting one requires specialized skills, as a ghost it’s immune to physical hits.
Then from logical reasoning, magical spells should work but examining system warnings indicated to proceed with caution, offering paid services to provide voodoo-imbued weapons, Southern African climbers posted product links.
So basically, the encountered being captures climbers, causing party members to fight each other, a genre monster.
Research finds when appearing during a tower collapse, it remains within.
Even if it captures a climber, it doesn’t leave the tower, further explained, leaving Wakamou in a quandary.
Was experimenting on an obviously possessor monster with climbers, what were African climbers’ human rights like, great worries.
“Asuka!!”
Frantic, Wakamou intended to counter with Asuka’s [Magic] but couldn’t summon her, lowering eyebrows.
Factoring priority orders… Asuka’s presently airing an ASMR membership broadcast.
Yeah, interrupting membership broadcast isn’t courteous to fans!!
With no room to escape, even lightning, fire, magically enhanced attacks failing, phantom infiltrates Mei’s body successfully.
Planned to endure until Asuka’s broadcast ended, too cramped ensuring seeking out a meat shield.
As the ghost entered the body, Mei’s eyes rolled, trembling fiercely.
With curiosity over controlling it, Wakamou meddled a bit.
Then the immediate “crack” sound heard.
[Incheon Tower 44th Floor has accomplished Platinum requirements, unlocking for all mankind!!]
[Tower Platinum攻略boosts rewards]
[10 additional attribute points awarded to the climber]
“Huh, huh…?”
Mei, near seizing with a ghost’s possession, returned to normal as Wakamou meddled consciously, blinking confusedly.
Equally bewildered noticing, Wakamou recalls feeling an “insect” sort squished recalling while focused on Mei.
How did this happen? What logic underpins this?
[Select a reward from below]
[Idol’s Light]
-Compress owned mana into physically striking light.
[Idol’s Ore]
-Carving composed mana into ore forms.
[Idol’s Reality]
-Transform physical body into form-based.
-During transformation increased mana consumption.
Job Exclusive skill 【Holopause】
-Teleport limited to defined area.
Feeling anything but thrilled… Scratching his head, baffled why, despite Mei’s body seized, Wakamou interfering led the monster to its demise lingered perplexingly.
Such a mystery, unsolved, with Wakamou’s nature, doomed sleepless contemplation would ensue.
No longer able to sleep much worried perhaps several days.
Now that my body can no longer sleep, I was already worried about how many days I would spend pondering.
Thunk—
“Ah”
[Skill [Idol’s Form] acquired!]
“Tsk…. Thankfully the broadcast was turned off.”
Contrary to his usual self, Wakamou had been contemplating with arms crossed and ended up mistakenly selecting the wrong option for the reward.
It couldn’t be helped, but turning one’s body into a form?
According to what Wakamou knew, a form was an illusion without a solid presence. Could it mean one could change it freely or something?
I tried it out as a test, but I didn’t feel anything had changed.
Thinking ‘what is this?’ I headed towards the door leading to the next floor, and my body passed through it.
I was only briefly surprised. When I tried to pick up a stone on the ground, my hand went right through the stone.
“Huh?”
When adding in the [Projection Setting] obtained earlier… could I move like… a ghost?
Become invisible and phase through walls without anyone seeing like a ghost?
“…..”
No, this is a stealth skill that’s useless for a VTuber broadcast.
I mean, a VTuber talks even when the screen is off. Tower!! Are you mocking VTubers? There’s no such thing as a VTuber who isn’t visible!!
There are bonsai VTubers out there in the world!! Even invisible VTubers wear clothes!!
“Sigh”
I canceled all the skills for now and took a step towards the next floor.
When thinking about it, launching a [Mental series] attack… this was pretty much a first for me.
“Waaaah!!!”
And right after turning the camera back on, Wakamou, standing at the riverbank of a gigantic river, screamed in surprise at something he saw.
A naked woman was flaunting her chest, waist, hips bigger than her waist, and shaking her thighs provocatively!!
It was a woman with an enchanting smile, dancing as if seducing Wakamou while hovering above the vast river.
-Papapapapapa
-LOL
-Wow!! King Boobs!!!
-The newbie trying to assassinate Wakamou Leader’s broadcast lol
-Tower you dog!! Using such cowardly methods!!!!
-Attacking with the deadliest means, damn lol
I quickly blocked it with [Light] using the VTuber asset, but an unease crept up wondering if about 0.2 to 0.1 seconds were exposed and captured.
If luck wasn’t on my side, I’d have to rest with a ban for several days, and in the worst-case scenario, become a loser who can’t broadcast forever.
Even when pressured to bring down a dragon in 30 minutes, I hadn’t felt such fear and terror, trembling in panic.
A broadcast ban!! A broadcast ban!!! Tower, are you trying to assassinate me like this?!?!
Since normal methods don’t work on Wakamou, aiming for the outside of the Tower using broadcasting policy… what a wicked scheme!!
Thankfully, either the YouTube moderators watching over Wakamou let it slide, or showed mercy.
Thankfully, the broadcast didn’t end abruptly in the middle of the live stream.
To think a naked woman would suddenly pop out from the Tower….
[Climbing Incheon Tower 45th Floor World]
-The difficulty increases according to the achievements of [Wakamou Inarizushi] the climber!
-Overcome the [Elite Monster]!
-Defeat the [Drowning’s El Nadaha].

-Isn’t it the famous water spirit from the Egypt Tower?
-Dude, dudes from foreign countries come here just to see it.
-The crazy spirit hunters lol
-By the way, the reason for the climbing death rate rise in Egypt is also her.
-Huh..?
-Pretty, but… is it that great?
-It’s a man-specializing attack.
-Damn! You get a girlfriend!!!
-Oh (understanding)
-Oh (contemplation)
Listening to the viewers, they said [Drowning’s El Nadaha] is a female water spirit, a monster particularly popular in the Egypt Tower.
Indeed, with a model-like ratio, large chest, and long hair. She kept sending extremely seductive looks in an alluring form.
The most dangerous thing about this monster is its special [man-specific attack], they said.
A monster that nullifies all resistance and item effects and puts men under hypnosis to obey its commands unconditionally.
However, it can only enthrall one person at a time.
If it can’t enthrall, it just throws around [curses]—weaker than expected, being easier at higher floors.
Hence, it’s particularly popular among the abnormally fetishized, hearing those words made my head ache.
Then, from the moment I entered, Wakamou wonders if she had been attempting to seduce him.
-But it doesn’t appear when it’s a female climber lol
-Then why did it appear for the Leader lol
-Confused by the stature maybe?
-Persuasive..!!
“Sigh”
Letting out a heavy sigh akin to falling deep into the earth as if making sure the believers would hear it, Wakamou approached without being mesmerized, and met her gaze.
Closing the distance and approaching, maybe misunderstanding it thought Wakamou was captivated and started pulling him to enter the river.
But Wakamou didn’t budge.
Then, El Nadaha looked back with a puzzled expression wondering why.
At this point, Wakamou buried his fist into El Nadaha’s face.
Her neck snapped backward instantly, staggering, she then melted like a water balloon bursting, flowing back into the river as she vanished, a water spirit disappearing.
‘….Could it be, I’m registered as a [male] in the Tower…?
The creature that female climbers can only see by partying, Wakamou saw without concern.
He still couldn’t shake off the curiosity about why hypnosis or charm didn’t affect him.
It seemed to be thanks to [Idol’s Form], but knowing the principle would give peace of mind, wouldn’t it?
Moreover, there’s a problem already I couldn’t solve, and it seemed like another one just appeared.
‘It’d be better if Wakamou being a man remained hidden even if the Tower has never disclosed gender.’
Preferably, it’s better if such an outcome has no possibility whatsoever.
Pretending to be a female VTuber, but actually being a man… Being someone who blatantly claimed the furry body isn’t a woman, but a man!
Dammit, doesn’t this make me an absolute scumbag who deceived the believers?
Don’t want to say something dumb like compensating with Tower climbing rewards during a press conference.
‘It won’t get revealed, right?’
There’s no way something like this could reveal gender.
Furthermore, there’s no reason for Wakamou to be suspected since charms didn’t work!
“A VTuber won’t get charmed by a real-life woman, I’m an otaku.”
[The 45th floor of Incheon Tower will be opened to all humanity by achieving the Platinum conditions!]

“….What..?”
A splendid necklace, something Pharaohs of Egypt might wear, encrusted with mixed gold and jewels appeared.
Seeing the depicted artwork, the thought of this being Egyptian came before the jewels.
Neate, who’s that anyway, was questionable… But it was a necklace that could transform into a bow.
However, the mana required to use the skill at a staggering 500,000 made me marvel.
Could there exist a person in this world who can use it besides Wakamou?
It wasn’t the first day the Tower gave hard-to-understand items.
But how to interpret giving an Egyptian item, well…
I tried hanging it around my neck but it was too lavish so I tucked it between my chest.
Meanwhile, the believers wailed about [Summoner] class being overpowered.
On investigating the internet, there apparently was someone who actually tamed it.
Having the “Water Spirit” as part of their spirit family, some seemed to be going up the spirit lineage.
Right, if one could do whatever they wanted with such a beauty, wouldn’t even a non-existent willpower arise?
“….Feels fishy?”
The entire 2 floors were so ridiculously easy.
This implies… something catastrophic is going to show up, following familiar patterns.
Ring ring!!

-Defeat [Painful Dark Magic Witch Mambabarang]!!
[Platinum Achievement Conditions]
-Defeat [Painful Dark Magic Witch Mambabarang] (0/1)
“[Hehehe….]”
The opponent was flaunting a look over-exaggeratedly screaming I am a witch to everyone.
A witch looking like she crawled out from a swamp, half-decaying like rotten mold, was covered with bugs, glancing at Wakamou and cackling sinisterly.
Although it was another heroic monster, unlike the China Tower, there wasn’t any particular alert or anything.
While pondering how to attack, bugs leaped from behind and beneath Wakamou, swarming into his ears and up his nose all at once.
“[Writhe in pain… Die..!!]”
Mambabarang.
Known as a witch in Philippine legends─uses bugs and spirits to enter a person’s body, practicing dark magic with bugs to torture or kill the opponent.
It’s a sinister monster specialized in torture magic that could inflict terrible pain just by having a strand of the target’s hair, piercing it with a needle as a medium binding to a bug.
Moreover, wielding swarms of carnivorous bugs, paralyzed climbers impressed with pain are offered to the bugs.
Once bugs penetrate through the ears, nose, mouth, wounds, and any openings─leading to suffering from various diseases and ultimately dying horribly.
The viewers’ chats surged with intensity.
The monster seemed notoriously infamous even in the Philippines.
There were plenty of knowledgable viewers.
It was a monster that emerged along the Tower collapse, making the entire region its bug nest, and massacred anyone who came for reconstruction, they warned Wakamou.
Piercing through countless monsters and bugs is challenging enough, but injured by those bugs, the witch’s curse renders invalidation with fatal precision.
Scattering curses and disease while launching spirit masses from her sleeves, Wakamou watched the witch cackle, bursting the bugs she clenched with her grip, mercilessly shoving bugs into needles, wringing out their guts with a snicker.
“[Kikikikikihi!! Hyahahahaha!!! Aha…ha…ha?]”
“……”
Even in a situation where blood should be pouring out every seven holes from screaming pain, seeing him standing nonchalantly made Mambabarang summon a massive bug monster to attack, directing it to devour Wakamou swiftly as it charged ferociously across and turned its head back to the master afterward.
And there stood Wakamou, with arms crossed, staring at the witch.
“Are you done?”
“[…..??]”
If Wakamou were an ordinary climber, it would have been a struggle, but the compatibility was disastrously unfavorable for the opponent this time.
Wakamou doesn’t feel pain or anything.
Even if bugs crawl inside his body and rampage, he remained unscathed!!
After all, with potions in his stomach, blood packs, and even a sword carried inside, how could bugs moving in cause a significant impact?
Mambabarang’s curse wasn’t weak at all. Even to overwhelm Mei Xiao Long Bao’s Jiangshi by eating through with bugs was fierce enough.
Even now, bugs that invaded his body, laying eggs and multiplying swiftly, gnawing away inside, yet Wakamou stood unfazed.
The witch, sensing something went off, looked up at the sky seeming to protest to the Tower, but.
With an incredible burst of speed, Wakamou closed the distance, stabbing his finger deep into her temple, embedding it forcefully.
“[A mere punch from you is less than a mosquito bite!]”
With eyes rolled back, frothing black bubbles at her mouth, the witch spewed poison encompassed everywhere, starting to melt all surrounding terrains. A toxic venom so deadly it could turn living beings into liquid instantly! On top of that, the spreading black dark mana engulfed anyone weaker in mana.
Unceasingly gushing bugs seemed to disassemble and devour Wakamou both externally and internally while enduring a perpetual curse cast until the witch perished.
Howling and convulsing in excruciating pain─eventually leads to death by shock when one’s breath falters!!
The witch’s spine-chilling voice and curse-laden laughs were dreadful to the point of being a nightmare causing shivers and dread among the audience, unable to type in the chat.
Yet, caring not for such things, Wakamou casually withdrew his stabbing hand and turned his back.
“[…?]”
“You’ve been dead this whole time”
“[──!?]”
Through the stabbed fingers, inserted deep inside her mind, was unleashed the flame Wakamou favored among the many items created by [Liu Ying].
As an explosion rampaged in her mind, Mambabarang, clutching her inflating head.
Soon after, blood sprayed from the witch’s head due to the internal pressure.
Mambabarang’s deadly venomous blood splattered about but failed to dissolve on Wakamou’s body as he walked ahead without a backward glance.
“[Aiiiiiiiiik──!!]”
Boom!!
The explosion from the ballooning head resulted from contacting the air, triggering another explosion, setting the witch’s body ablaze.
Then, as the witch spread poison and fire touched, a more massive explosion ensued, engulfing the entire level in flames and fire.
With [Idol’s Fire] devouring and burning the flames instead, leaving Wakamou unharmed, he simply continued his path nonchalantly.
The broadcast cut off depicting the departing Fox Deity amidst the apocalyptic scenery of melting and burning chaos!
Amidst the notoriety of being a fearsome boss monster that appeared following the Tower’s collapse in the Philippines, notorious witch Mambabarang fell misery and died inoffensively, leaving the audience relieved.
And soon, overwhelmed with excitement and thrill, they stormed the communities.
Not only to announce the victorious news but to mock those who missed witnessing such a spectacular scene.
“….Come on, among the fights thus far, wasn’t this one of the weakest!!”
Feeling like the Tower specifically set up a reversal in superiority for Wakamou, who was fending off assailants daily.
….For now, bias or possession seemed to be nullified. Even charms weren’t effective.
Without feeling pain, curses or poison were virtually meaningless.
Hence, eventually, those that pertain to [Mana] are the dangerous ones….but it remains challenging to counter all.
As long as I’m cautious with [Mana Burn], for now.
That’s catastrophic if hit.

“…..What?”
[Skills] generally have a [Cooldown] attribute.
Apart from those, it essentially means being able to spam skills limitlessly for 5 minutes.
But to Wakamou Inarizushi?
5 minutes wasn’t a mere metaphor; this meant he could truly become the “Fox Deity” with this trump card item.
“What’s the recipe…can’t Liu Ying make it?”
I felt like I got a genuinely precious tool…a proper item at last.
Then really, I might be able to create something like a Jovian storm on Earth?
….That might as well lead to Earth’s destruction.
So could it be the [Penalty] part that’s the issue…?
Surprisingly, it seemed the Tower paid attention to power balances.
‘Come to think of it, the Association President had said I’d soon realize why he couldn’t climb the Tower further.’
While having gathered previously under the peach tree drinking together, the Association President discreetly warned me about the future.
Climbers, upon conquering the Tower and ascending floors, face greater trials.
Yet the Association President’s words carried a more substantial implication than sheer “difficulty.”
“Should I call it a day…?”
By now, special adversaries started appearing every 3 floors.
….Come to think of it, viewers had mentioned that the Philippine Tower had fallen, bringing Mambabarang to the outside, right?
So perhaps that’s why the Tower didn’t provide notice?
I almost overlooked it, but on careful reflection, there were quite a few noteworthy aspects.
“Something feels like it’s pushing to let me reach the 50th floor sooner….is it just my imagination?”
It’s already 46 floors up, the 3rd floor being surpassable in less than an hour.
Outright over simple due to an overwhelming reverse compatibility, it was unilateral.
“Contemplating all this won’t yield answers….”
With no other choice, before exiting, I prayed to the Tower, quietly hoping to keep VTuber personal details including gender confidential, humbly bowing and formally exited the Tower subsequently.
Indeed, dealing with an overwhelmingly significant presence, let’s not risk provoking it needlessly.
Wakamou, attempting to leave, glanced back at the elixir in hand, deliberating.
“Twisting the body, I’m good at that”
No matter what comes, I’ll respond.
I might be a VTuber broadcasting type to save potions even before the final boss.
It’s more fun for VTuber broadcasts after all!
