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...


    <em>Whoosh-</em>


    A blue de-like w was already striking from behind. ck, ghostly mes streamed from thepound eyes of the attacking Kaiju.


    <em>-!!</em>


    At that moment, the Kaiju sensed something chilling.


    <em>This fast?</em>


    <em>Whooooosh-</em>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 sh suddenly arrived at close range.


    There was no time to hesitate.


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


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


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


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


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


    Thepound-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.


    <em>Swoosh-</em>


    The red sh 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''spound eyes widened in disbelief.


    <em>Th-This power is...!</em>


    ***


    <em>Beep-</em>


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


    "..."


    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?"


    <strong>-No. It appears to be a new type of entity.</strong>


    "Hmm..."


    <em>If I had known this would happen, I would have brought more reliable armaments.</em>


    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 apletely 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 toter. 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...


    <em>It seemed like it was to kill the Cerebrates...</em>


    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, Karlsteinughed.


    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 notugh?


    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 be 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...


    <strong>-There are anomalies in the Astral Signal Responses in that area.</strong>


    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 tantly 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?"


    <strong>-It is not possible to determine to that extent.</strong>


    "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 reimed 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 rted to dimensions?


    <strong>-Master. Will you be alright? That power is...</strong>


    "Hm? Ah..."


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


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


    <strong>-Master.</strong>


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


    <strong>-....</strong>


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


    <strong>-Ordinary people absolutely cannot withstand it.</strong>


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


    <strong>-Understood, Master.</strong>


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


    <strong>-I will implement it immediately.</strong>


    Karlstein''s eyes burned with intensity.

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