[Title: If You’ve Watched the News, Read This First]
If someone without the qualifications of a leader declares themself emperor and establishes a new era.
There’s an old tale that the Goddess Nüwa sends down a beauty to bring ruin to the nation.
I really like this story.
(GIF of Wakamou standing under machine gun fire)
Is this the extent of modern weaponry…?
Humans have become weak upon acquiring guns.
(GIF of a terrorist charmingly forgiven by Wakamou)
“I don’t know how to use Charm or anything like that.”
Is this the face of mercy…?
Shouldn’t you be telling the terrorists to pick up their trash…?
Are they so weak that treating them like stray cats is the right approach?
(Video of Wakamou in a restaurant captured by CCTV)
Even with a sword in his head, there’s no damage at all.
Well, it’s not his main body, after all! Hahaha.
It’s terrifying that everyone’s still alive.
What is it with patting the assassin’s head and calling them cute??
-Collector=Superior, please brace yourself…
-The Leader saying King of Authority was super strong wasn’t just talk!
-I truly understand Japan’s supreme stature now.
-The Leader said, “If we fought more, I would have lost.” Our pride in Japan…
-Assassins, take pride, Wakamou Inarizushi is the embodiment of Far Eastern martial arts!
-The idea that modern weapons can affect a Climber…
-There was a time when we believed that too.
-Shall we return China to the Zhou Dynasty era?
-It’s trendy these days to reduce your age, should I make it 1,000 years since 17 is too young?
-Doesn’t it feel like they forgot to remove a zero?
-Isn’t he just like Dalki!!
-Laughed seeing him smile during a terror attack in the capital!
-Heard the Leader’s voice happily mentioning, “Saw it in a Hong Kong movie!”
-LOL for real, they’re actually shooting!
-(GIF of wearing 3D glasses making it feel like real shooting)
-That’s stuff you only see in hero movies.
-You’re saying the red pill isn’t Dalki? Got it.
-“Don’t ask about the past.”
-I get it for some reason, big up.
-Won’t even get the original back if I ask for nothing, I’ll back down.
-Please just remain our mama forever….
-You dared to make Wakamou look like a fool? Unforgivable. I’ll kill you, Collector!
-Is this the legendary beauty from Asia’s myths?
-Even Taigong Wang couldn’t kill me in the end.
-Wasn’t he around when Japan was nuked?
-Then wasn’t it truly a disaster?
Shortly after Wakamou left for China, breaking news spread about a terror attack in the heart of Shanghai, the new capital of China.
A world where there’s CCTV everywhere you go. Especially in Shanghai, it’s harder to find places without CCTV due to the Chinese government’s surveillance network for monitoring its citizens.
That’s why vivid footage made its way to the news.
Did the Chinese government want to announce Wakamou’s dread to the world? Did someone, while checking the video for police investigation, upload it in shock?
They tried to control the information late, worrying about upsetting the Premier, but once something spreads online, it’s nearly impossible to stop.
Wakamou, aware that an assassin had entered the private room of a high-class restaurant, walked into the corridor to fight.
A [Fighter] unleashes fierce attacks at close range, but Wakamou, standing still, lifts them like a puppet.
Confirming both arms are bound, simultaneous surprise attacks from above and behind pierce his body, but… Wakamou stands without shedding a drop of blood.
With a gentle back hug, he bends a person in half, and returns a sword lodged in his head with a friendly smile, though the creepiness couldn’t be hidden.
Savagely attacked from above in an attempt to kill, but with the lightest scratch from the fingers, arms and legs fall off grotesquely.
One assassin falls, engulfed in flames. Although it appeared to be spontaneous human combustion, Wakamou’s white flames couldn’t be hidden.
Then appears a [Wizard] at the end of the corridor, casting all kinds of spells.
He relentlessly hurls [Curse] type magic that would be fatal if not avoided, but Wakamou approaches nonchalantly, pats the wizard’s head adorably, and the Wizard loses all fighting spirit, vividly shown cowering on the spot.
Comments laugh at the Japanese shamans having seen what happened, but…
Those who don’t know about Wakamou express fear, asking if he’s a monster from the Tower.
Hearing the sound of subscribers dropping, Wakamou writhed in fear and despair… Could the believers have known that?
Korean believers, fearing a curse for canceling subscriptions, remained quiet.
Shortly after, a sight worthy of being called a highlight.
“I saw it in a Hong Kong movie!”
Wakamou, laughing, gets directly hit by an anti-tank gun without a scratch.
Even without flinching against bullets assumed to be made of rare metal.
“The bullets are too small.”
Bullets hit the eyes and get crushed, and shotguns fired at close range have no effect.
Though he showcased the bizarre act of putting a grenade in his mouth and eating it, the reason being to avoid harming citizens gives a sense of some sort of kindness… Should I say…
From the Korean president’s perspective, he was definitely a monster, shouting in anger with bulging neck veins at the Association President. As the President of the Korean Association knew she was strong… But didn’t know she was monstrously beyond human measures.
However, doesn’t she love South Korea?
Choosing to favor her, making efforts to make her a guardian deity protecting South Korea rather than siding with the President and seeing them off.
Countless myths and histories teach us what happens when we are rude to the gods who have helped and bestowed us with grace.
Feeling fear and intimidation is natural, but still, the fact she loves people cannot be arbitrarily determined to be a lie.
‘Something must be done’
Whether it’s the President or Wakamou Inarizushi─ The Association President decided to carefully monitor the situation even more.
Even if underestimated, if she truly decided to, conquering an entire nation would be a piece of cake.
In an era where Towers and Climbers exist, could it be that difficult for a being with god-like powers to rise as a king in a world where autonomous regions once oppressed under China’s rule strive for independence? The Association President felt she seemed indifferent to such things.

“[Yeah, yeah, Boss. The humidifier is on full blast!]”
“Did you put water in it?”
“[I was supposed to put water in?!]”
“Is the broadcast going well?”
“[Yep! Did you know the shrine maiden you like released a new original song?]”
“……”
Wakamou swallowed silently, taking in the grief and sadness…the despair.
He was in silence because he didn’t want to show this wretched appearance to Liu Ying outside.
Couldn’t show the drooping shoulders, after all… I’m the president.
Being an adult means trying to only show reliable sides to children.
A broadcast is a broadcast and reality is reality.
-Nice to meet you all! Please feel free to call me Miko!
“Ugh…”
Our shrine maiden who’s about to release a solo album achieved this success. What am I even doing here, far away in this distant land?
Not wanting to show his tears to Liu Ying or the Manager, sleeping inside Wakamou’s portal…
Wakamou caressed the package of the dating sim game [Sakura Dreamer], featuring his now-hard-to-acquire shrine maiden as a heroine, swallowing his sorrow.
Watched the live broadcast, announced new songs for everyone.
Wakamou wished to hit the button and watch it immediately, given the memories shared as a VTuber with his fans packed tightly into the MV.
Though it had cooled off, he wanted to watch, but he held back.
Pent up anger, hatred, suffering, torment….to return the love expression style [Collector] taught him, he was holding it back.
Just quietly wanting to do VTuber broadcasts and live peacefully, the act of troubling this much was undeniably a warped fan spirit.
-A VTuber, just by entering this profession, is the crystallization of courage!!
Recalling the shrine maiden’s wisdom, Wakamou internalized the courageous words.
Though in his current state, he felt like he could dark evolve from anger… As long as there are broadcasts yet to be seen, he could endure it.
“I’ll return before the members-only content opens.”
Before the yet-to-start broadcast goes cold, a reckoning with [Collector] awaited.
The Tower directly spoke, having tried to kill him before, and having caused the current chaos.
Under the same blue sky, we can’t live together anymore!!
—–
Deng Deng Deng──
“Damn South Korean President! Was it a trap from the beginning!!”
A mysterious broadcaster holding the [National Seal]. [Collector] had thought it was a type of [Legendary Class] until then.
Since then, faced with Wakamou’s astounding power…
It was questionable if he was even the same human, the sight staggering [Collector] enough to abandon his obsession with the National Seal outright.
Known as [Six Legged Beast], being wanted as a terrorist Climber was due to the Chinese government.
Even he hadn’t originally intended for it to escalate this much.
Living as one of China’s wealthiest, lacking for nothing, collecting relics and rare artifacts, only accidentally became awakened as a result.
The government pressured him to surrender his wealth or climb the Tower as a Climber, and even started seizing his collected artifacts as illegal─ Ultimately, [Collector] couldn’t endure it and revolted against the nation.
Tired of a country that, even with a college degree, offered nowhere to work for those striving for money. He grew exhausted with a country that only exploited its ambitious youth.
Abroad, they were derided as barbaric, dirty brutes─ scoffed at as uncultured, and disgusted by the unchanging national status, including that of the citizens.
He declared himself emperor and claimed to be a descendant of Liu Bei, seizing and ruling the entirety of Sichuan Province.
Now that Tibet, Xinjiang, and even Hong Kong broke away from the Chinese government and declared independence─ what more needed to be said?
The nation was already heading towards ruin, thus requiring a new China.
He was chosen as a Climber, and among Climbers managed to acquire a rare [Legendary Class].
By gathering followers, revolting against the Chinese government, and forcing even the Chinese military to retreat with his artifacts, he was considered a genuine heir to the Hanzhong King by his followers.
Although the Chinese government spread through media saying [Collector] was behind various acts of terror and claiming he collected people.
He’s not collecting people; he’s recruiting…!! What he collects are monsters…!!
“Damn, shouldn’t have taken the South Korean President’s offer because of lack of money!”
He believed he could reverse the situation with the [National Seal].
Intending minimal damage to civilians─ the sole target was Wakamou Inarizushi!!
─When a subordinate’s excessive loyalty led to an impulsive attempt to kill, he lamented over excessive devotion being problematic and pondered how generals were controlled in the Three Kingdoms.
While sympathetically considering him as a forsaken Climber betrayed by his own President who even sought collaboration with the Chinese government.
The reality was….. Wasn’t it akin to mobilizing a monster to kill him?
Nevertheless, he had to─He had to fight.
Towards the enemy beyond the wall surrounding Sichuan Province, amidst a barrage of artillery shells, ran a single Climber at full speed.
His hurried movements were seemingly driven by the intent to quickly slay the king and return─ making it clear of the objective.
“Fire!! Keep firing!!! Don’t let them get close!!!”
“Has the Alchemist coated the walls? What about reinforcement? Are the protection spells up?!”
Observing the commanders bustling about, Collector Liu Wei fell deep in thought.
He understood China’s desperation, but to awaken and pin this on him for pulling a fox’s whisker, wanting to quietly live.
For all the oppression and the disparity? After enduring the hardships during the Cultural Revolution, did it all slip the minds of those labeling him a terrorist opposing the nation?
Of course, he couldn’t proclaim himself a saint but acknowledged being a villain.
Victory always belonged to the winner.
With the alliance of Xinjiang and Tibet seizing Qinghai, progress was imminent. The Premier’s attempts to deflect public grievances onto foreign powers were no longer viable.
As the Qing dynasty eventually fell, having already begun ceding territory to the US, Russia, and even India, China’s future was bleak.
“Stop──!! Open the gates!!”
“But Liu Wei!!”
“Do you think we can win even if all our troops rush out? A Climber should handle Climber affairs. If I fall─ Align with either Xinjiang or Tibet. Never India. Understood, Deputy?”
“….Yes.”
Liu Wei, gathering artifact-grade items.
No, [Collector] commenced a stately stride towards the gate.
Bearing the flag symbolizing Shu Han on his back, fully equipped with every armament imaginable, labeled a terrorist Climber part of the [Six Legged Beast].
Yet, truthfully─ He was branded a terrorist Climber by international society and recognized as part of [Six Legged Beast]. Struggling valiantly, enduring the torment by the Chinese government, he worked tirelessly to reform the nation.
Admittedly, he couldn’t be deemed virtuous.
Many perished during his war against the Chinese government, and he indeed committed numerous acts of terror.
‘I can’t release a monster.’
While preparations allowed target luring, releasing anything was conjectured useless by the Collector. So much so, there were even chances of suffering risk from deploying an unintended threat…… Utilizing relics pilfered from all around the world’s museums, stolen, and looted to fight was his only means.
“In an era where nations collapse, and chaos reigns─ Meeting the most famed beauty of Chinese myth was unforeseen.”
“Liu Wei?”
With a soft smile, Wakamou freed his shoulders, asking, to which Liu Wei nodded affirmably.
“Does the Chinese government desire custody or my life? I craved your [National Seal]… ─It was my greed. I longed to be the king of this country…!”
“Hmm.”
“With the country leaving the masses, dissent to fight arises. Would Liu Bei have done so? Do you feel nothing with China becoming this?
Should you declare to become China’s king, would you accept support and endorsement?”
“Why should I?”
“Heh…a demonic answer befitting Dalki… The fight ensues… Do you enjoy modern culture? Is manga popular in Japan?
Shounen manga or something? Found a striking statement there. Ultimately, the one who triumphs holds ability! Ability brings companions, allows effort, and prevails!
In this reality, without means to rescue non-Climbers─ proclaiming my intent to be China’s king!!”
“…….”
“In this rotten world, there’s neither good nor evil! Only the strong survive and the triumphant are just! Come, Dalki!!”
“Before we fight, let me say this, though.”
“……”
“Because of you!! I missed the VTuber broadcast!!! The broadcast schedule got postponed!!!
And our Liu Ying’s debut original song bombed, so I’m here to beat you up!! China’s fate means nothing to me?!”
“What?”
“I will thrash anything that interferes with my VTuber broadcast!!! I swore to heaven!!!”
“What??”
Emission of mana to the extent that the atmosphere trembled─ Enhancing his body with mana, Wakamou assumed his stance.
Observing this, while [Collector]’s mind was rendering judgments, instincts as a Climber autonomously set his posture.
As it’s Dalki, she can be indifferent to decayed China! Perhaps even hope for chaos? During sleepless nights tangled in blankets with endless ruminations, Liu Wei, counted among those who desired global disorder, sustained a significant mental blow with Wakamou’s unexpected utterance.
Is this Dalki’s rhetoric that supposedly causes insanity?!
“1 Million Ton Right Hook!!”
“[Zeus’s Lightning]──!!”
Deeming even attempting to block with a shield futile, he generated lightning in his hands hurling it at Wakamou.
Gained through the conquest of the Tower – [Mythical] item.
[Collector] as a Legendary Class evaded profession constraints, with conditions attached but harnessed the power to wield items, He uncorked the highest-tier weapon upon commencement─ the lightning of Greece’s supreme deity.
As the blinding beam scorched Earth, the thrown thunderbolt impaled Wakamou, spreading staggering high-voltage currents as lightning vertically descended Wakamou from the overcast sky, engulfing him.
An item that boasts phenomenal firepower, taking 1 year for a single cast.
The Chinese government, even with formidable powers, dared not to engage easily with [Collector] due to fear that lightning might strike the government.
Quadruple the output enough to melt ordinary humans.
Worthy of the name [Mythical] item…… the feast of lightning storm akin to divine wrath unleashed upon mankind had [Collector] drenched in cold sweat as he fortified himself with the shield while denying the sight he beheld.
Tuga wiped the cold sweat from his brow and denied what he was seeing.
In the lightning, amidst the strikes, a shadow was approaching.
The sound of thunder and lightning roared with relentless force.
In the darkness brought by the cloud covering the sun, the blinding light flashed repeatedly, emphasizing the darkness even more.
“Zeus’s Lightning can’t inflict damage. It can only summon a Lightning Storm and apply an Electric Shock effect… but usually, that’s enough to kill.”
If it were the real Zeus’s Lightning, Wakamou would have evaporated without being able to respond, but since it could only use a part of its power, there was no damage at the moment it struck. The lightning spread through Wakamou’s entire body, electrocuting him…
Inside the lightning, Wakamou’s fist, refusing to back down at the Collector, was thrust forward.
Believing there was no bluff in the term “1 million tons,” he extended the Shield of Spartacus. The hero’s shield, known for withstanding any oppression!! He crossed the shield relic, the Spartani Hoplon, intending to block and endure, but─
Clang! Clang! Clang─!!
Earrings, necklaces, and even two rings.
The protective items and relics failed to withstand the shock, and the Collector was struck, sliding towards the castle gate.
“Huff.. huff…!”
Looking despairingly at the two completely shattered shields, he tightly gripped the Mace of Rustam.
Using the Hector’s Helmet relic, he synced with the wall of the Sichuan fortress, increasing durability and matching his body’s strength with the wall. In that state, he used the Coat of the Wolf of Marco and Xiang Yu’s Armor, and not forgetting the Bima’s Bracelet and the whiskers accessory from the Bogatyr.
As the Collector used all sorts of relics at once, his height gradually increased, transforming into a 2-meter giant, yet he still had to look up at Wakamou.
“Behold the power of legendary heroes!! Come forth, Amara Sarak!!”
Summoning the famed steed Sarak of the Serbian hero Marko Kraljevic, he rode it and leaped over Wakamou, swinging the mace down fiercely at Wakamou’s head.
“Strong, but even a warrior!! On mobility, we can’t lose──”
Despite wielding the transcendent strength buff, capable of tossing a chariot borrowed from forces of mighty heroes, the Collector started feeling something was wrong seeing Wakamou smiling while taking a direct hit to the face from the mace.
Was physical attack ineffective against him?
Galloping briskly, he shot arrows, but seeing Wakamou catching them mid-flight without even looking, the Collector clicked his tongue.
A different approach was needed.
Though aware of a weakness to Mana Burn, using it didn’t guarantee Wakamou’s death. Moreover, Sichuan province could be obliterated.
Using the Collector’s ability, he summoned relics and raised a spear aiming to pierce Wakamou’s head, striking in an instant, but Wakamou had disappeared without a trace.
Shocked, he heightened his senses, glancing around, but Wakamou wasn’t visible anywhere.
“Where did he disappear──”
Then, an uncharacteristically warm presence was felt behind him.
Punch! From a portal opened mid-air, Wakamou’s fist landed on the Collector’s face, causing him to fall off the horse and roll on the ground.
“Ha, haa?!”
Utilizing flying, invisible cameras for a casting of [My Worlds].
With the same charging momentum, as Wakamou vanished into the portal on the ground, the Collector hastily got up, but Wakamou emerged from a portal behind him, sweeping him into a tight grapple.
Crack─ Crunch!!
“I’ll engrave on that body how many broadcasts you have delayed because of you!!!!”
Boom─!!
With a single leap, Wakamou flew sky-high that even the castle appeared minute.
“Micomet Special─!!”
The Collector, although frantic in his lightness, like having a weightless body, tried to escape but, being held by arms and legs, was left overturned and free-falling.
“Stella!!!”
Boom─!!
Like a vertical impact blast, a Muscle Buster erupted!!
Wakamou’s shoulder, with the Collector’s upside-down neck, locked under him, and both legs grabbed, causing his armor to crack and shatter along with his helmet.
Finally, the wall of the Sichuan fortress started to crumble whole.
“Nya-ha-ro!!!”
Tumbling and gasping beside the prone, wheezing Collector, stood Wakamou in a victorious fighting pose.
Having been completely toyed with. Moreover─whether what relics the Collector owned was somehow pre-informed to him by the Chinese government…it rendered his aggressive assault utterly fearless, unlike anything seen before.
Even pushing for “no killing intention” intending to let live despite shattering limbs…this was…!!
“……You certainly mean to kill me…!!? Isn’t that right, Dalki!!”
“The power of life and death belongs to the strong, friend.”
Upon Collector struggling to rise, Wakamou leaped, executing a thrusting punch. The assumption of blocking it was nullified by the striking kick, leaving the Collector staggering, he crossed his arms, fortifying his defenses.
“Help Mr. Liu Wei!!!”
“Shoot that beast!!”
Arrows, magic, and bullets flew. Trying to protect their leader, despite being hit by such attacking volleys, Wakamou assumed a raised leg pose.
‘Upper!’
Raising his arm, as trajectories bent mid-air striking this abdomen and knee. Upon guard-breaking, lifting the chin with the foot’s tip.
In its position aiming skyward, he launched a merciless iron fist into the body’s midline.
“Graaah…! Everyone!!! Get away from me!!!”
A genuine master capable of contending with the King of Authority in Japan!! Barely eking in a slight opening, allowing him no moment of reprieve while getting pummeled, Collector yelled at the soldiers to retreat as much as possible.
The plea wasn’t to help but to withdraw, leading adjutants understanding the Collector had resolved something high-flying managed evacuations, strategizing a retreat with the standing Wakamou.
“Even if you don’t kill me. I will kill you. Does it matter?”
“I’m quite terrified of corpses, you see.”
“Hah─ [Whistle of Slobey Razboinik]!!”
The whistle echoed, containing the wail of a half-human, half-bird reputed to kill with just its sound.
The unique [Artifact-Rank] items from the Tower, only accessible to [Collector], began bursting forth.
“[Golden Scarabs], devour the enemy!!”
A multitude of scarabs surged from the ground, swarming over Wakamou, burrowing inside his body, biting flesh, adhering to him entirely. And still not halting, Collector marshaled all [Relics] to their maximum.
Emergent iron coffins entrapped Wakamou, piercing with barbs, consuming the coffin was an ignited bronze bull rampaging.
Scrree─ech
Though bellowed, the bull immured without cackling flames, shaking off flaming scarabs, the engulfed iron coffin dripped molten metal as fractures started forming…
And in that fissure, Wakamou’s arm protruded.
Trails of openings parting here and there appeared, revealing the unobscured back precisely, calmly striding out in a regenerative display.
“[Filippo Negroni]!!”
Towards lunging Wakamou, lifting a shield with Medusa’s illustration, instantaneously transmuted into stone.
Despite the stone form, not halting, Wakamou drove the stone fist into the Collector’s face.
“Haah… haa….”
Inquiring how to kill, he ended up pulling a book out with a bitter laugh.
“Let god’s fiery rain fall!!”
With requisite conditions only within a cloudy sky.
The moment used, the Tower-deployed one-time [Myth-Level] item, now engulfed and burning, the Collector vomited blood.
An item pledged never to be used even to contend against China, christened [Compendium of World-Burning Prophecy].
As fiery rain begun falling from heaven, [Fire Rat Fur robe] was donned over, enveloping the Collector.
That robe, which provided immunity to flame, even withstood the [Flames of the Idol] lightly shot by Wakamou.
“Please, burn to death…”
Infernos blazing. The entire front expanse of Sichuan ignited.
Unfathomable the scale disaster this spreading mountain blaze would spawn, but losing was unacceptable.
Not one, but two mythical items were devoured. Bearing significant losses while waging the battle.
Raging.
Seeming as the end of the world with everything───eventually subsided.
The eternally pouring fiery rain, the dark clouds engulfing the sun, the blaze engulfing the entirety of Sichuan, all vanished in a moment.
Then, at the heart, red plum blossoms scattered as a single sword… a mythical [Kusanagi’s Sword] was held loftily by Wakamou in serene elegance.
Transcending despair, beauty isolated seeming even from the world, transcended to seclusion, gazing skyward with resentment at the world, Liu Wei retrieved a mundane spear without exaggeration.
“I challenge you to a duel!! [Guan Yu’s Mao]… slay the enemy of my lord!!”
“Not about to use the Green Dragon Crescent Blade? That’s a bit disappointing.”
“It’s a shame for me too…”
Just an ordinary worn spear─yet with a congregation of light, appeared a war deity with long beard and red skin─raising a great Green Dragon Crescent Blade in verdant armor before the Collector.
Uttering no words, but the aura conveyed─Wakamou recognized it surpassed even the King of Authority as they took a stance with the raised sword.
Achieving reflection speed through physical enhancements, alongside superhuman visual awareness, transcending occupational limits with superlative combat intuition.
“Climbers are ferocious fighters!!”
“Let’s call a summon too! Liu Ying, you’re up!!”
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Uk1oK0sya3NRU1YxcUQyKzVnbkpjMUZJOFMwN29tcGJGUy9FeDhnY1JSLw
“Eh?”
A portal opened and Liu Ying jumped through.
“Ahem”
Confidently, even managing hands tucked in pockets, holding the Radiant Jade Seal in display, Liu Ying struck a stylish pose.
Though trotting close, landing a gentle punch didn’t even sway the summoned Guan Yu, who regards the situation hesitantly.
“Not calling it cowardice, Collector?”
“Shi…shit..don’t be ridiculous!! Sir Guan Yu would never behead his lord Liu’s descendant!!! Asking an attack command will be the end of me!!!
“I believed likewise!! Although an enemy, a true otaku indeed!!!
The [Collector] demonstrated to the Chinese government a [Summon] category trump card.
Enabling, proffering a relic-soaked item claiming to summon none other than legendary Guan Yu; Manager conveyed seeing no equal to Wakamou who had much to ponder over what course to take.
Liu Ying proposed it. She said through ample self-study, such a tactic was in her knowledge.
However, even Wakamou hadn’t envisioned success in such an absurdity.
“Ugh…such an authentic Liu lineage presence… so…succeed the kingdom as a true descendant and fulfill an unachieved dream of unifying heaven and earth…!!”
“Eh… stuff this… gone VTuber”
“Aaaargh!!!”
Flailing in hopelessness, the Collector collapsed in despair.
Defeated… now apprehended to be executed by China was a certainty.
Though striving as a Climber for those who followed… it was unwinnable…
“VTTTuuuBBBBeeer──!!!!”
Didn’t it mention a person’s senses peak before impending mortality? He tossed his weapon, desperately prostrating before Wakamou.
“For a new China!! Citizens granted freedom!! Create a nation where VTuber broadcasting is boundless!!! Please!! Accept in the bond of guanxi!!!”
“From today we’re lifelong friends!!!”
“Wakamou-sama!!!”
“Heh….!”
“Through a constitutional monarchy with the legitimate holding an uninfluential throne while the country’s administration rests upon us, as subordinates, make me your retainer!!”
Therefore, establishing a sole symbolic authority who reigns without governance.
Wakamou, indifferent, thought it beneficial if China were a nation where Vtubing was boundless, flipping his eyes ignoring Manager’s persuasion.
“Do you have any relics used by idols?”
“I-I’ll offer them…”
“Don’t need them!!”
“J-just in contact with the Association President…!!”
The turnaround of events was baffling, eliciting a brief request from Manager to wait.
Including Xinjiang, Taiwan, and Tibet, the U.S. government was also supporting democracy─The Association President considered having even a puppet-like state wouldn’t be terribly concerning, flustering Manager Wanda Haye.
Imagine how Manager felt hearing in real-time about China being considered a puppet state of South Korea.
In reality, if left unchecked, [Collector] reclaiming lands and becoming the new leader of the Chinese government was inevitable.
In that situation, albeit devoid of power albeit, having Liu Ying seated on the imperial throne as Liu’s heir.
“Regardless we gleaned valid evidence of China’s assault on our country amidst the chaos. The President’s complicity remains hidden but…huhu…..”
Shall I quit this job?
Reflecting earnestly, Manager sighed deeply.
“Then, alongside Mr. Liu Ying and Mr. Wakamou, forging a peach garden oath…!!”
“Ah, VTubers don’t mix well with men for popularity. Do it with the Manager.”
In that same vein, firmly decisive when needed be, Wakamou sharply retorted.
Manager immediately relayed to the Chinese government that Wakamou inflicted great injury subduing the Collector.
Wakamou had utterly no need to offer Collector back to China’s custody, uninterested in further provoking Wakamou.
Having witnessed the fighting! China agreed thereafter to handle subsequent matters themselves, taking a step back.
[Collector] Liu Wei, likewise, enacted no further complications.
Proclaiming plans to unify the Nine Provinces to leave the imperial crown to Mr. Liu Ying akin to Zhuge Liang…
Though Liu Ying remarked royalty or emperor was all nonsense, focusing rather on pursuing VTubing, Liu Wei’s unwarranted persistence annoyed Wakamou, leading to an exasperated punch, sending Liu Wei unconscious.
With that resolved, having settled the issue concerning Collector, Wakamou deferred the aftermath to the Manager.
Wasn’t seizing relics feat from Collector of course unachievable, thus Wakamou returned to South Korea alongside Liu Ying.
“Boss…what do we do now?”
“What do you think?”
Returning from China, Wakamou switched back to broadcasting.
Everyone, hyped for Wakamou’s long-anticipated stream, eagerly joined.
It displayed a bizarrely familiar green chroma key.
“Hello everyone, I am VTuber Wakamou Inarizushi broadcasting on YouTube…”
-Images-
“I apologize to my viewers for rescheduling streams due to personal matters….”
-Lol, why doing apology broadcasts-
-The Fox Deity, who subjugated Collector begging for mercy, yet cannot overcome the fans-
-Oh! Nothing after that, ya hear!
-There’s no remorse pal!
-Just mowing folks over into Yuri-no-mabushi…
-What wild ride was this stream lol
-Witnessing a virtual apology broadcast in one’s lifetime.
-“I conquered China” sorry.
-Conquered China in 2 days and merely apologetic…
-Laboring so impressively isn’t this why it’s entrusted to Him? Indiscretion punished.
-If sorry, a charm broadcast, please.
-Do a sakuranbo dance in thirds.
“Our expatriate Unicorn-sama’s shoopadoopa will be given.”
-Wahaha lolololol
-Content joyful just getting broadcasts loool
-Did they just bash him over god-awful streaming lol
Ultimately, dismisses as an ordinary VTuber, ignoring any political nuances, cashed with forthright cheek.
Begun via apology, Wakamou’s return broadcast adapted to assorted requests, culminating in dance routines.
Though unschooled in songs, Wakamou’s dance finesse was unmatched with Liu Ying wobbling awkwardly aside.
A mother-daughter apology dance rendition thoroughly satisfied viewers.
Manager’s calls dismissed, Wakamou remained sequestered engrossed in VTuber streams drawing clips alike.
