Chapter 118: Trap (2)
Once the excitement starts, whether for fun or just out of boredom, the crowd enjoys the chaos.
The Community was especially prone to this.
[LEZGOO]

[Upvote if she’s ur ideal type]

[Orc Bros Secret Love Affair.avi]
…All kinds of disgusting shitposts flooded the forums, mixed with rampant bait posts. Even threads with seemingly normal titles led to horrific images, enraging users and sparking retaliatory cursed images that created new victims.
It was chaos on top of chaos!
Naturally, anyone logged into the Community caught on to the madness quickly.
“Hmm…”
Succubus Queen Selena, worn out from her exhausting research. Keisha Winsler, struggling to solve the fortress’ various internal problems. Virdel, suffering through Maxien’s brutal training.
Even those who were not as prominent as these users could easily grasp what was happening.
It was only a matter of time before the Community’s mischief reached someone.
“Carry on. I’ll be heading out for a bit.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
With a gust of wind, the unknown speaker disappeared.
***KABOOM-
The dragon’s massive body was thrown back.
“Ugh! What kind of monster is this?!”
“Only someone like you could have endured that! Be careful!”
“Humph!”
CLICK-
Yongyong’s chest opened, revealing a particle accelerator.
“Go to hell!”
FLASH-
Twin beams of light, containing power that rivaled his Dragon Breath, shot from Yongyong’s chest towards the enemy.
PZZZT-
It was a particle weapon he had kept off the livestream due to its embarrassing design.
-SKREEEEGH!
A 10-meter-tall giant figure, clad in red metal, was momentarily held at bay by the beam attack.
The creature was a Kaiju with two heads, four arms, and two legs.
-SKREEEEGH!
The attack had barely halted its advance, but it had not dealt a significant blow.
“Grr. Is it a Tank-type?”
Despite this, the twin beams were undeniably effective. The Kaiju had shrugged off all previous bombardments with ease.
“Let’s see how long you can hold out!”
The Kaiju advanced a step at Yongyong’s provocation but was immediately pushed back, unable to close the distance.
“Hahaha.”
Yongyong laughed casually, but the reality was different.
This is no ordinary Kaiju.
It was fundamentally different from the countless Kaiju he had slain before.
BANG-
The Kaiju’s figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind him.
“Holy shit! It’s got speed too?”
Even with over 1 million battle power, Yongyong was struggling. What kind of Kaiju was this?!
Is this the kind of foe Oradge always faced?
BOOOM!
“Gaagh!”
Yongyong was thrown back but swiftly straightened himself and soared into the air.
RUMBLE-
The ground where Yongyong had stood caved in. The red creature emerged from the smoke, undaunted.
“Goddamn!”
Yongyong’s eyes filled with indignation.
“I wanted to be DPS! Not a tank!!”
“Hang in there a little longer, Yongyong! You are the only one who can handle it.”
“Blow up everything! Blow it all!”
Spirit Summoner Barron was fending off a swarm of lesser Kaiju with his Fusion Cannon, merged with Spirit Kings, while Perpe whirled her greatsword furiously in the middle of the Kaiju army, blasting away all the mid-level Kaiju.
“Aaaaargh!”
BOOM-
Thanks to his Stellaruim-coated skeleton, Yongyong managed to block the red Kaiju’s attacks… though he was already left looking like a total wreck!
Of course, despite his focus on the monstrous red creature, Yongyong did not stop bombarding the Kaiju army with his long-range weapons.
PZZT- BOOM- BOOM-
Kaiju after Kaiju turned to ash following his bombardment.
His attack definitely packed a punch, but that was not important.
“What of the barrier?”
“I’m already at my limit just handling this guy!”
“Perpe seems to have lost her head… I will take the red one! You analyze the barrier!”
“Forget it! Lord Full Metal War Dragon is gonna handle it somehow.”
Don’t underestimate us dragons!
Yongyong endured the red Kaiju’s attacks, bombarded the Kaiju army, and investigated the barrier with magic—all at the same time
“Ugh!”
His decision was rooted in his recent research on dimensional magic, just before arriving in World.
If Barron faced this guy now, he’d be sliced in half instantly.
Not to mention, the Kaiju standing before him was no ordinary opponent.
“Damn it!!!”
***[Haha. It serves them right.]
[How good of them to fight in our stead.]
[However, I am surprised. I did not think they could fight a Transcendent Entity without a Sacred Relic.]
[None of them are ordinary.]
The Sephiroth clan observed Yongyong, Barron, and Perpe inside the barrier.
[What kind of technology is that? Magitek?]
[I have never heard of fusing spirits and machines.]
[A metal dragon… I’ve never seen such a species before. How tempting.]
[They cannot be underestimated.]
[Pah! They are still nothing before our Sacred Relics.]
[True. No matter how they struggle, it is hopeless for them.]
[In any case, Transcendent Entities have begun to emerge, unlike before.]
[It means this world is equally tempting to those of Chaos.]
[Hmm…]
[Still, I will make a full report. Their strength far surpasses our expectations.]
[Perhaps… we should reconsider the Sky Ship operation that is underway.]
[Bah…]
The Sephiroth clan members wore complicated expressions as they watched the ongoing battle. The beings they had always considered inferior and insignificant were actually holding their own against a Transcendent Entity, a foe that even the Sephiroth would struggle with.
But as the atmosphere grew heavier…
“It’s great that there are so many. This ought to make Karlstein happy. Hmm. What should I ask for as a reward?”
[Huh?]
[What are you saying…?]
[Wha?!]
The Sephiroth clan members were astonished to find an unknown woman in their midst, as if she had always been present.
“What’s this? How do you use it? Is it connected to that?”
The woman was observing a glowing orb floating in the air.
[Th-that’s!]
[Why is that there?]
[Uhh?]
[Who are you, woman?!]
[Put that down at once!]
The Sephiroth reacted violently.
“Mm… I should bring this back too.”
The woman cast a sweeping gaze, tossing the glowing orb up and down.
“Yup. Looks like I won’t have enough collection boxes.”
[C-collection boxes?]
[What are you babbling about?]
[Put that down this instant or—!]
Her cold, indifferent gaze bore down on the Sephiroth clan members like a human inspecting insects. A chill ran down their spines.
“Didn’t you mention they were a problem? That’s why we had them specially made, of course. This is our latest research breakthrough, and I needed samples.”
The starlight-haired woman smiled for the first time—right before they all lost consciousness.
“Hmm. Now, what are those guys doing over there?”
***“Barron! Hold off the red Kaiju for a bit! I think I’ve found some kind of opening!”
“Very well, leave it to me! I will slow it somehow.”
“O-on second thought! Lead it towards Perpe! She should be able to handle it for a while!”
“…Never did I imagine learning the taste of weakness in this world. Very well. Trust me.”
Yongyong began charging Ether Breath in his mouth.
“Get lost, you pain in the ass!”
FWWRRRR-
He could not deal a major blow due to the short charging time, but it had instant effect in pushing the red Kaiju back. Even if it could withstand a full charge, it could not stop being pushed back.
Damn, I never thought I’d be using Ether Breath just to knock something back.
Yongyong was struck by both dismay and incredulity at how this world was turning out.
But regardless!
Taking advantage of the brief reprieve, Yongyong pressed his tail against the barrier and hastened to analyze it. His tail split into four analyzing devices that worked frantically to break down the barrier.
All kinds of figures and magic formulas appeared in his vision.
“All barriers are made up of ports, rooms, and firewalls!”
He had sensed a weak point during the earlier battle, though it had only lasted a moment.
“Hahaha. A barrier like this is nothing to yours truly!”
But as he worked on analyzing and dismantling the barrier, his eyes closed in concentration…
“Huh?”
…Why does it feel like it’s being disabled by itself? No. It’s not being disabled… it’s just being destro—Ah? Something… something is…? Eh?
The outer barrier had seemed incredibly dense, yet Yongyong sensed something was shredding through it like paper.
He leaped back, his alloy scales bristling with alarm.
“Shit! Goddamn! What is it this time?!”
Yongyong activated the Ether Engine in his wings, generated a force field, and used it to rapidly propel himself far.
I need to get away!
“Barron!! Perpe!!”
Catching on to the situation, Barron used the Ether Wave Device Yongyong had given him to wake Perpe up and carried her in his arms.
“Yoong-yooong—!”
Barron reached out, feeling time stretch in that brief moment.
“RUUUUNN!!!”
Yongyong grabbed Barron and Perpe, deployed dozens of shields around them, and curled up.
The red Kaiju lunged towards them, but now was not the time to worry about that.
“Get down!!!”
Following Yongyong’s urgent cry—
KRRRK-
…
KRRK-
Black and white reversed. Utter silence fell over the area, consuming all sound.
!!
THUMP-
KRRK-
All Yongyong could feel was the sensation of something breaking.
AAAH! I’m losing it! Th-this feeling!
He recognized this feeling—it had occurred once before. Though less intense this time… Yongyong was certain it was similar to the time Oradge got serious.
AHHHH!
Space itself tore apart.
KRRK-
Yongyong’s senses twisted as dimension warped around him.
Yes, he remembered this awful sensation of his very senses being crushed, even though he was untouched.
Seconds later…
“!!”
“GAAH!”
“Ahhh!”
“A-are you all right?”
Yongyong was blown back by a tremendous aftershock.
The external strike had obliterated everything within the barrier, leaving a wasteland and slicing through something.
“Koff!”
Yongyong relaxed upon confirming that the other two were safe in his arms.
F-fuck!
Even in Full Metal Wardragon form, he could not help but curse from the pain.
I got off light thanks to dodging a direct hit… No, it’s because we were never the actual target…
A starlight-haired woman emerged from the breach in the barrier.
It-it’s her!
Yongyong knew her. How could he not?
“M-Maxien Asteria.”
“Mmm?”
She was the entity who had proven to be the strongest right after entering World.
Yongyong’s tail instinctively curled inwards at her gaze.
Th-this is what 12 million battle power feels like?
And at that moment.
BUZZ-

Yongyong continued to feel his sanity slipping.
