□ ■ About Tom Cat

“The converted cat mansion” Tom Cat.

His name is widely known throughout the kingdom without distinction between Tian and the Master.

Make it the former dueling king, the current second place.

And in the kingdom - for eight years (...), the man who kept standing on the throne of the dueling king.

Eight years of time means a lot.

Because… not so much time has passed since the launch of < Infinite Dendrogram > in 2004 to the present time.

Well, he's lost to Figaro more than two years ago in internal time and has left his seat.

Obviously the calculation of time is not right.

This illustrates one fact.

Tom Cat is not an average player, he said.

Ask Tian and he will get the answer "He has been active since before the increase of".

From that, it was rumored that Tom Cat was a player on the operational side...... an alpha version of the tester.

He also got a question from the player about it, but all he had to do was return it "with no comment -".

At one point, there was a thread on the bulletin boards everywhere saying, "How about a tester being the dueling champion," but eventually a hypothesis was made and it went down in flames.

It says, "Will Tom Cat's Embrio, the tester, only evolve to the sixth form?"

Though Tom Cat has a very powerful capacity for separation, his Grimalkin is the sixth morphologic stop.

I'm obviously working longer than the other players, but I don't see how I'm going to be super.

It is a hypothesis that his < Embrio >, the tester, is in some way restricted.

In addition, there were times when his level had stopped at just 1000 levels of 500 to senior positions and 500 in [Cat God].

There were certain restrictions on both levels and.

From that, it was thought, "Isn't he more like a wall prepared by the operation than he was ahead as a tester".

One day I will continue to stand as the dueling king of the kingdom as a wall that can be crossed by succession, the prepared < master > of the operation.

That's [Cat God] Tom Cat, he said.

Then players were more willing to go beyond the challenges imposed by the operation than dissatisfied ones.

As a result, many of them join the duel with Tom Cat.

Among the duel rankers still present, the “Masked Cavalry” Riser and the "Flaming Wrath” Bishmall are those who have been challenging Tom Cat since then.

As a result, among the incisive rankers, Figaro broke Tom Cat and Tom Cat, said to be the prepared wall of operations, retreated from that throne.

After that, he never tried Figaro again after falling to second place, and now he continued to stand as a wall to ascend to second place.

Tom Cat's name was also less talked about internally and externally in those days.

Some of the new duel rankers like “Black Raven” Juliette and “Vagrant Golden Sea” Chelsea don't even know that there was such a story about Tom Cat.

That's how it's Tom Cat's commotion that has now become a thing of the past, but about that suspicion - it's all right (...).

Tom Cat was on the operational side, active since before the start of the official service, a presence with restricted forms and levels of < Embrio > and standing in the dueling champion in the role of a wall to incise the rankers.

There's no mistake there.

However, it is not enough.

The decisive truth had fallen short of that hypothesis.

◇ ◆

Now, let's have a little (...) conversation here that has nothing to do with the previous dueling king of the kingdom.

Six hundred years ago in < Infinite Dendrogram > time.

A time when an all-out war between the absolutely powerful: [the King of Champions] and [the Dragon Emperor] was at stake.

As the third absolutely powerful, there are those who suddenly appear in history.

Its name is [Cat God] Schredinger Cat.

Oddly enough (...) the guy who got the same super job as Tom Cat.

History books tell us that he was hardly there at the time - < master (...) >.

Prior dueling kings and third absolute mighty.

I see nothing but Job that shows the connection between these two.

□ ■ Deepest/Brilliant Jade Soldier Plant

The battle between Tom Cat and the [leader of the Windsor] was hard to say five minutes.

AGI was the only thing Tom had a small portion of, but all the other elements, including the firepower, were inferior.

Alternatively, if Tom's level were 500 more, it would be different again, but I can't even hope for Tom with limited abilities.

The same goes for combat skills. The [leader of the Windsor] is never inferior to Tom, the fierce warrior.

That's because in the last two thousand years, during the years of managing and waiting for the production of the Brilliant Jade Soldier and the development of the [Accra Vaster], his program has not failed to simulate.

It was his first real battle, but his program had fought as simulated, super-high-difficulty in two thousand years.

Therefore, there is not enough skill difference between the two to mask the spec difference.

Still, Tom hasn't received a single fatal wound.

His movements were skillful, even compared to yesterday's battle in the hall and the rambling battle with the doll now taking place elsewhere.

Instead, the seven bodies brawling with the doll are more cluttered in their movements than they were yesterday.

It's like saying, "His consciousness is focused on one Tom here to move his body."

"MEOW!!"

Tom jumps like a cat in the meantime, roars, and cuts off the [leader of the wind chipper] with a dagger in his hands.

A blade laceration is carved into the armor of [the leader of the wind chin], but that's not enough damage to break the armor and reach the internal mechanism.

"[Melee Defense Electromagnetic Emission Mechanism]"

On the counter to melee attacks, [the leader of the Windsor] extends dozens of electrodes from the clearance of his armor, emitting thunderbolts all around him.

Tom slips away from the area, but the [leader of the Kaisenko] 's laser, unleashed without a haircut, plunders his left shoulder.

"... are you surprised or something?

Tom was a pioneer in [the leader of the Windsor] as he rolled out new mounted armaments one after the other. It is nevertheless a trade fair for weapons of civilization from earlier periods.

"From the size of the fuselage, there won't be a load of compressive demon-guided heavy particle acceleration cannons on the boulder, but that's not a disadvantage in the long run, this," Tom said, heightening his alert.

At the same time, however, Tom's movement was alarmed by the program of the [leader of the Windsor].

That's not why Tom's abilities are at stake.

Because I didn't use my job skills at one time.

Yes, Tom hasn't used his job skills until this point.

That's not just this [leader of the wind followers] fight, not even once, going back to yesterday's battle in the hall and even all the duels he did.

There will also be talk among the dueling rankers who were looking to defeat Tom Cat at the time, and their conclusion is that "Tom Cat's ability to separate will render his active job skills unusable as a disadvantage".

While in [God], a skill specialization position, it was also said that it was not synergistic. Or maybe it's a job that weighs on passivity, or something.

However, the cause of [the leader of the wind chipper] 's concern is a little ahead of him.

'Ask a question. Who are you? "

"Oh, you finally feel like talking to me? I'm [Cat God] Tom Cat, as I said earlier."

'Ask questions on top of each other. What is [Cat God]?'

…………

The battle program of [Windsor's Supervisor] questioned that Tom did not use his job skills and that the job was unknown.

And now I hear his job from Tom, and [the leader of the Windsor] questions it itself.

Because......

"Such a job - it doesn't exist (...)"

Because [Cat God] does not exist on the 2,000-year-old job list in him.

All jobs were laid down a long time ago and will not increase from then on.

Even the [Brilliant Cavalry] jobs related to the operation of the Brilliant Jade Beast already existed before the Brilliant Jade Beast was developed by Flagman.

[Cat God] does not exist on a list that should be grasped and covered about jobs.

Then what is [Cat God]?

"Well, this is my status window."

"What is a window (...)"

"… is the update not applicable? Well, at a time when I hadn't found it, I was thinking about the possibility."

Tom sighs in response to [the leader of the wind chin].

"When that happens, I figured you'd have to break it too. But the brilliant Jade Man who is already in people's hands... do you have to leave him alone?... the hatter will do a messy job too."

Tom threw up like that just a little irritated, thinking of the face of a certain being.

Immediately afterwards, he kicks the floor and walks to destroy the [leader of the Windsor].

That's not a move I thought about safety margins earlier, but a beast-like move where you risk yourself to reap the lives of your opponents.

However, [the leader of the wind chinos] responded to the move.

The cover that was on the forearm of my left hand detaches, from which something flies as if it were a missile.

Tom turned into a fleshy motion as he dodged it, but the missile also tracks Tom again.

And the missiles accelerate.

"Huh!?"

Reaching speeds even several times higher than Tom's ultrasonic manoeuvre, the missile landed on Tom's abdomen without aiming too far.

- I blew that torso up and down.

Tom's upper body, fatally injured, falls to the floor with the sound of solid and liquid splashing.

Only the upper body runs a large amount of blood and fluid from that cross section.

"... this, here we go. Options for [Black Ball Tracker (Jet Chaser)], [Supersonic Tracking Ammo],? It was loaded with a lot more than I thought,"

Tom, mortally wounded, utters words as he zeroes his blood reflexes out of his mouth.

It's an obvious fatal wound, but it doesn't look like he cares about it.

Because this body is only a good substitute for him.

"But it's not good. Keep it up and the next growth will be over there, in a brawl with the dolls. Getting here again is a little bad considering his doll, nah."

Such a slight deviation. Whereas Tom is blurred, [Windsor's conductor] targets the laser cannon.

It has nothing to do with whether it is fatal or not.

There was no reason for [the leader of the Windsor] to hesitate to attack Tom, the enemy, as an intruder.

If it stays like this, Tom here will disappear and there will be a whole lot more Tom in turmoil.

But...

"Special note number three, Crisis response of equilibrium collapse due to unspecified force.

and Special Note II, Crisis Response to Confidential Exposure.

For the state of application of both special notes, apply for overlapping body use. "

Tom spoke so unrelated to the prolonged manner in which he had spoken until then - he chanted so in a machine-like voice.

0.5 seconds after words whose meaning and intent are unknown.

- Body use, approval

Such an announcement reached him, and at the same time the laser of [the leader of the wind followers] evaporated his upper body.

To be continued
