The Lone SF Transmigrator in the Otherworld Forum
Chapter 54: Blue Ray (3)

A being shrouded in dark, ominous energy instantly beheaded two of the three. Those whose heads were severed didn't even realize it until the moment of their death.

[Kyaaak!!]

The remaining one with six arms hurriedly tried to escape, but...

Whoosh-

A blue blade-like claw was already striking from behind. Black, ghostly flames streamed from the compound eyes of the attacking Kaiju.

-!!

At that moment, the Kaiju sensed something chilling.

This fast?

Whooooosh-

The attack that had instantly killed 'Blue Ray' was now surging towards them. A truly tremendous spear imbued with immense power was flying like an arrow, splitting space.

The distant flash suddenly arrived at close range.

There was no time to hesitate.

However, the reason the compound-eyed Kaiju could act calmly without rushing was because…

It realized that the attack wasn't aimed at it.

The expected path of the flash was somewhere between the starlight-haired human woman and this location.

Presumably, it was an additional attack launched to protect the starlight-haired human woman.

As expected, they hadn't noticed its true purpose at all.

The compound-eyed being was certain of achieving its goal. Those bastards had misunderstood its target.

If it could just eliminate all these parasites living off Dimensional Water and close the passage...

However, the Kaiju soon had to hurriedly twist its body.

Swoosh-

The red flash suddenly burned golden and appeared right in front of its face. An unnatural movement as if it had been aimed here from the beginning. As if causality itself had twisted.

The Kaiju's compound eyes widened in disbelief.

Th-This power is...!

***

Beep-

-We ended up losing it after all. It would be difficult for it to survive, though.

"..."

Karlstein's eyes sank deeply. Analyzing the waves emitted by the Kaiju, it was estimated to be a Double Numbering Kaiju.

Moreover, a dangerous entity specialized in stealth and mobility.

"Is it a previously registered entity?"

-No. It appears to be a new type of entity.

"Hmm..."

If I had known this would happen, I would have brought more reliable armaments.

He had only brought two weapons to use as throwing spears.

It was regrettable, but it couldn’t be helped.

After all, no one could have predicted such a being would suddenly appear.

Double Numbering.

Two-digit entities were on a completely different level from Triples. The fact that it had been hiding without being detected by any observation equipment showed how dangerous it was.

Considering that Single Numbers generally didn’t interfere with human affairs, it would be correct to view Double Numbers as the actual leaders of the Kaiju side.

Yes, it was a pity, but it was right to conclude this matter here.

Moreover, the results gained from this incident were not insignificant.

If it had remained hidden, no one could have predicted what kind of disaster it might have led to later. The fact that it revealed itself and was repelled by having its upper body blown off could be considered a great achievement.

Besides, the reason why it came out, even releasing its stealth...

It seemed like it was to kill the Cerebrates...

Was it because it was more hostile towards the Cerebrates than humans?

Karlstein didn't think so.

Rather, the Kaiju's actions seemed more like trying to prevent contact between humans and Cerebrates.

This implied many things.

It was quite different from the behavior patterns Kaiju had shown towards humans so far.

How to put it… Perhaps you could call it a strategy? Rather than the irrational hostility shown until now, a more high-dimensional level of animosity was felt.

"Haha."

At this, Karlstein laughed.

Honestly, that was even better for him.

The opponent is acting strategically? This can be applied in reverse as well. Saying that the opponent has a strategic goal means that it can be used against them too.

If they are trying to prevent contact between humans and Cerebrates, we just need to do the opposite. That alone would be a blow to them.

So how could he not laugh?

Even with half of its upper body blown off, it managed to kill all three Cerebrates before escaping. This being with such amazing life force eventually managed to open an Astral Passage and inserted its body into it.

If Maxien, who was at close range, hadn't split it into upper and lower halves, it might have recovered its body someday and faced them on the battlefield again.

Where Maxien had been, the lower body of the Kaiju and silver liquid were floating around.

The corpse of the Double Numbering would become material for Ether weapons. And by researching this, better strategies and weapons could be produced.

Moreover, although it tried to collect the silver liquid, it failed. By the time it had killed the Cerebrates and collected about half of the silver liquid, Maxien was already at close range.

Thanks to that, they were able to secure the remaining half of the silver liquid.

However...

-There are anomalies in the Astral Signal Responses in that area.

Whatever it was that the Kaiju did on the other side of the passage, abnormal reactions were observed.

"Hmm."

As expected, it was certain that those bastards could properly handle the Astral Dimension.

Just as humans used the Astral Dimension for Warp, it seems they did the same.

It was not the first time a Kaiju has been observed using Astral Dimension Passages. However, they had never used it this blatantly before.

In essence, it must have been that urgent.

The corner of Karlstein's mouth turned up slightly.

The overwhelming pressure that had been crushing the surroundings since the appearance of the Double Numbering entity gradually subsided.

"We can't know exactly what the abnormal reaction is?"

-It is not possible to determine to that extent.

"Hmm."

It was like saying that the Kaiju's ability to use the Astral Dimension was superior to that of humans.

However.

How long would they be able to maintain that superiority?

Yes, the Kaiju constantly evolved.

But humans also continuously develop and evolve.

The speed of technological advancement?

The fact that humans reclaimed the Barrier was proof enough.

As long as they didn’t do stupid things like the previous Emperor.

That wasn’t all.

Hadn’t he recently acquired a powerful means related to dimensions?

-Master. Will you be alright? That power is...

"Hm? Ah..."

Karlstein looked down at his hand. Golden fragments were swirling around.

"It should calm down after I rest a bit."

-Master.

"At this rate, won’t I have to walk back?"

-....

He saw the Imperial Ship coming to an abrupt stop and hastily reversing in his field of vision.

-Ordinary people absolutely cannot withstand it.

"Well... Anyway, while I'm resting, hurry up with the next update."

-Understood, Master.

"It seems we need to proceed quickly with the Community side as well."

-I will implement it immediately.

Karlstein's eyes burned with intensity.

A major update was carried out in the Community.

It wasn't a grand update. However, users from Earth couldn't help but replace it quite familiar.

Naturally, the users' reactions were not just heated, but positively blazing.

ㄴLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

ㄴThere’s not a single moment of boredom.

ㄴAh, what is it this time? As long as it's not something crappy like the Gacha Store.

ㄴ(JinNotGungjin): That was not necessarily a bad thing, though.

ㄴthat's only for guys like you ㅡㅡ ah this fucked up luck based game

ㄴu motherfucker. are u sure u didnt offer up ur ass to the admin? did u spread ur asscheeks open? how? why? how did u do it?

ㄴI spent ten times more than you, but only got one SR. What the hell. How the fuck does it make any sense?

ㄴ(JinNotGungjin): Perhaps if you had spent just one more time, you would have gotten it too.

ㄴhas this crazy fucker lost his mind?! @^$#%^#^@&$*

Users who were tired of boring lives in their respective otherworlds especially couldn't help but welcome it.

ㄴHow should I describe it… What’s this unpleasant feeling of various things coming out but my pocket getting lighter?

ㄴI was honestly getting quite bored, so this is pretty good. Shitty classical literature was my only entertainment.

ㄴit’s a bit better for ppl who at least use their bodies. as for the liberal arts majors tho...

ㄴOradge, release virtual reality games! Release them!

ㄴI wonder how the other guys are doing?

ㄴikr? i hope those guys get exposed LMAO they were probably just talking out of their ass since they are anon.

ㄴLOL trueeee. if u take their word for it, they're all sword masters and archmages LMAO

ㄴExactly.

ㄴIs Magical Keisha coming out?

ㄴYoung man. Your taste is quite unique.

ㄴWhat's this? High-quality paid service? This costs points too?

This time was different in that not only could you spend points, but you could also earn them.

ㄴwhat's this now?

ㄴDunno. The Oradge's schemes are endless.

ㄴAh... I don't have any points left now!

ㄴAh. I’m broke this month tho.

ㄴbut it looks like you can earn points with this update?

ㄴApparently, if you apply separately as a streamer, the rewards are sweet af.

ㄴbut that's only possible if you get sponsorships LOL

ㄴLooks like the Oradge has gone crazy for money. what's with the 10% commission?

ㄴIf ur so salty, why don't u make it urself LMAO

ㄴThey say 5% will be used for relay expansion, and the other 5% for content development and research.

ㄴain no way they dont take commission on the developed content too HAHAHA

ㄴah whatever. go have a cry then.

ㄴIf you don't subscribe, it doesn't matter, right?

ㄴahhh how can I resist this HAHAHAHA ahhhhHHHH HAHAHAHAHA

ㄴapply as a streamer, earn some points, then roll one SSR in the Gacha Store and my life would be set ez fucking clap

ㄴAre you crazy?

ㄴjust hearing it makes me dizzy ㅡㅡ

ㄴA perfect example of how gambling ruins people.

Amidst everyone's expectations, or lack thereof, the Sponsorship System and Galactic TV were opened.

And surprisingly, the first streamer was a famous figure.

"Hello. This is Lich King Raymond of 'TheLichIsRich'. Huhu."

A skeleton was grinning eerily on the screen.
