＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ ■

The battle between the mechanical giant god and the mightiest dragon is waged.

Kingdom to include its < canyon > in the national territory.

Continent with kingdom on board.

And there was that space in a place that could not be traced from the continent...

Several figures are gathered in places that are supposed to be different spaces, as if they were a section of a spaceship.

No, it may be a mistake to say that a person......

For some of them are far from men.

Still, they are beings with common characteristics in deeper parts than figure and so on.

Their name is Management AI.

First name,.

It manages the world of Infinite Dendrogram.

The management AI was watching the screen floating in that space, not everyone but a few people.

Inside the screen, the mechanical giant god and the most powerful dragon are fisting and clashing.

"Oddly enough, you were right. Javawok."

Management AI III in charge of the monster, who looks close to the animal beast man of the carnivore - commonly known as "Queen" speaks to a colleague standing beside him as he leaps to the battle on screen.

"As I was saying, what does that mean, number three"

"Ha. It's decided." Nothing happens if you throw a regular SUBM in a kingdom with all the delicacies. "And that means even that [Gloria] hasn't changed. Big guys."

Management AI IV in charge of looking suspicious - to Javawok, Queen goes on to say.

"We couldn't achieve the goal of increasing the number of Super Enbrios, but this can happen. What a country with so much delicacy. Some more should be born without SUBM intervention. Don't worry too much about this one."

Queen intended to comfort her colleagues with this failure and put it that way.

"Right. This time it was a failure."

Javawok nodded at the words,

"The next (...) [Gloria (...)] will do better"

Like nothing, I vomited words that would be desperate if humans listened.

Or... words you may not understand when you hear them.

"... next," he said?

Queen asks Javawok's words with a strange face.

"It sounds as if we could mass-produce that monster with the equivalent of Gloria?

"No way, that's not true. That is so miraculous a product of a millennium. More Super would be easier than that mass production."

Javawok shakes his head small and denies it.

And to correct Queen's misunderstanding, I said:

"Simply because [Gloria] talks about playing it completely from the backup (...)"

That word, which was unleashed like nothing too much, was enough for Queen to breathe.

"... Fully Played?

"Oh."

"Does that include the core?

"Absolutely. If even the backup is safe, the playback begins when either core is crushed, whichever is complete. However, there are shortcomings. I thought I could use this feature to increase [Gloria], but the core could not be replicated as long as the original existed. It seems that none of the cores can be replicated unless all three cores of the body stop functioning. Well, the ability itself can be restored from backup when the corresponding core is crushed, so there's a good amount of rug in the time to full playback."

"Wait, wait... wait!

Queen blocks Javawok's words from trying to explain [Gloria] 's function for a long time.

If you try her, this story is pregnant with an extra serious problem than such a functional description.

"So many times will [the superfighter] come back to life with the neck that he defeated by throwing a mythical weapon, and the neck that [the female pope] defeated in exchange for all his levels?

"Don't be."

"... Jabberwock, I didn't hear that."

"I didn't say that. Well, you can rest assured. [Gloria] rises again and again, and imposes a test on < Master > again and again. - as many times as (...) until < super > is aligned."

Queen's spine freezes in Javawok's overly pale words.

And notice.

We had a different [Gloria] input stance with this Javawok.

The Queens had the idea of sending out a powerful SUBM because it was a kingdom full of delicacies.

But... I understood that Javawok was different.

"... what's the means to stop that?

"I'm prepared regardless. You can always stop the backup function with my authority. Besides, destroying the backup stops."

"What is the backup you've been talking about?

"This is it."

Javawok toggles the display of the screen.

What was shown was an underground cavity without light.

It's hard to tell because it's a hollow, empty natural cavity, but according to the data added to the screen, the depth is more than 3000 meters. The cavity has a ceiling of more than 100 meters and an area of several kilometers east, west and north. It's a huge cavity.

And in that cavity... there was a giant object lying.

"Is that... a tail?

It has four protrusions, a long tail covered in golden scales.

It's the tail of [Gloria] who was cut off by Fortesura in the battle of Kremyr.

"Precisely the fourth head of [Gloria] … if you can name it to match the < Master > of the Kingdom, it's four corners (...). There's a core in there too."

The tail of [Gloria] - the four corners were unknown after the battle of the claiming mill.

Some doubted that the wings had remained but only the tail had disappeared, but concluded that it had been lost because it was in all that fierce fighting.

In fact, however, he moved independently of the main body and hid himself in a lake that was nearby.

He then dug the ground out of the lake and placed himself in this underground cavity.

"Hmm, just fine. Four Corners of" Rehabilitation of Immediate Death (...) "begins"

When Javawok said that, the tail cross section flourished...... from which two heads grew.

Its head, each with a short one and two corners, was… immature but indisputably [Gloria] 's bereaved head.

[Gloria] 's tail crawls through the underground cavity as it becomes like two snakes.

"Have you played it yet...?

"Not yet. The shape alone doesn't contain a core. However, the core will also be restored at a time when the body has been completely crusaded, as mentioned earlier. Until then, only the body will be reconstituted first. Right, assuming the main body is knocked down at this time...... we'll be able to (...) resurrect tomorrow. Four corners are excellent at regeneration."

…………

Too, too soon.

Assuming, then, that the [Destroyer King] defeats the [Gloria] of the Triangle, the Kingdom will not even be given little time to rejoice in victory and survival.

Unless the backup is lost, I guess that will be repeated over and over again.

"The Glory Select Endless Routine"

In response to the outgoing queen, state the code that Javawok assigned to [Gloria] with some name - Javawok.

"Encourage evolution to < Super Embrio > and repeat (...) sorting endlessly (...). That's [Gloria]. If we could stop that, it would be easier for us to stop that."

"... won't the kingdom disappear?

"That's when it is. It might be better to disappear one of the countries and become a kanfull agent. Besides, I'm thinking about letting [Gloria] hit the whole continent until we get 100 of them together."

It's a new disaster.

A scourge of ravages that can continue without ending until < super > is aligned.

That would drastically upset the balance so far without having to be bad.

Aside from Queen, a few of the management AIs who were listening start thinking about whether they should use their body to carry out the destruction of the fourth head, which continues to regenerate underground.

But if any other managed AI tries to intervene in this matter, Javawok will stop.

That is, the battle against the man considered the strongest of the managed AIs alongside the managed AI No. 10 bander snatch in charge of security.

No, in the worst case scenario, that bander snatch would also turn to the side that prevents [Gloria] from overthrowing.

That's a machine that doesn't have the very idea of choosing the means to accomplish its purpose, so it can take Jabbawok's side.

when they were distressed about what to do,

"Javawok"

The management AI that was on the spot - the management AI XIII in charge of chores, Chesha, called Javawok's name.

Regarding Cheshire's call to Javawok's name, other management AIs expected Javawok to be trying to convince him to stop the backup by authority.

But... no.

"Let me give you some advice."

That's just, advice.

"I have more opportunities to deal with the Master than you do. Let me tell you something from that experience."

"What?"

To Javawok's inquiry, Chesha grinned with a cat's face... I said this.

"'Cause they're free - fewer people move the way we think they do."

And shortly after Chesha said so,

- < Master > approaches the backup of [Tripolar Dragon Gloria].

Someone's voice is flowing that informs you of the change in circumstances,

"< Master >? Who the hell is in that basement?

its voice in response to Javawok's inquiry,

- [King of Crimes] Zex Würfel

I gave the name of the killer (...).

◆ ◆ ◆

■ Kingdom of Alter and underground cavities

Time rolls back slightly.

That was a giant tail.

tail severed by Fortesura in the Kremyr defense.

That is the four protrusions… the four horned necks of [Gloria] with horns.

…………

Its head without a mouth and without uttering any words.

However, from the cutting surface of its tail… those who speak grow up.

It's

"FLUUUSHH......"

"SHUOOOOW......"

It is the neck of one horn and two horns, extinguished by Figaro and the dependent moon night. It's like a two-headed snake with a Y shape.

Precisely, it's an immature head compared to those, like a reptile just born out of an egg. The power it emits is also much weaker if compared to the body.

However, it is not difficult to imagine that it is gradually becoming enlarged and hardened and will be the same over time (...).

That is the power of the four-horned neck - "Rehabilitation of Immediate Death".

The tail was a mechanism for separating, if necessary, from [Gloria], the body.

Even if it is not disconnected by Fortesura, it can be automatically cut a thousand times if it is relative to a strong enemy.

Then, hide yourself with only the tail and let it regenerate when the body is extinguished.

[Gloria] will not die unless he knocks down this four corner neck, which is hidden as well as the main body.

Many times from the tail, revive.

< SUBM > In order to be, if there were no announcement after the defeat, they would notice, but still [Gloria], who did not set aside time and produced three more necks, is back.

Resurrect many times, keep fighting many times.

That is the last trick of [Gloria], the most complete monster.

Keep sorting forever… It's no exaggeration to say it sucks.

…………

We are now engaged in a battle where the body that has shown its greatest power may be the last.

The wins and losses are not known in the four corners.

But if the main body wins, it will sleep until the time comes for the main body to die, and if it loses, it will play from here. That's all.

However, [Gloria], which is played, will be weaker than [Gloria], which fights only a little on the ground.

Because [Gloria] 's combat experience, which is regenerated, stops when his tail is cut off on the ground.

Yes, if this system of playback loops, then the tail… should be self-cut and hidden at the point of complete playback.

Not to do so is to store the body's combat experience in four corners.

Simply put, it's like memory with the game's save data.

[Gloria], who will now play, retains the battle experience of slaughtering [Thunder Dragon King] and Tian of the Kingdom.

But since the disconnection... the battle with the Master has disappeared.

Regenerate as an individual slightly inferior to [Gloria] who is fighting on the ground now, both on a level and in combat technique.

But there's no problem. Experience should be gained again.

Either way, after the main body is destroyed, it plays as a second [Gloria] to make the kingdom......

"- Oh, you were still there."

At that time, the sound of water droplets dripping off and… the voice of a man wooded into an underground cavity.

In the darkness of ignorance, but the four horns that have already regenerated the heads of the two horns to obtain the Endangered Realm perceive it by the Realm.

The liquid flowing from the cracks above the underground cavity, that's what started talking about.

The liquid gathers in one place… immediately forms the shape of a person.

The face of a man who seems to be everywhere, only as distinctive as black edged glasses.

But I already understand the four corners.

The person in front of you is no less terrifying than those who have lost their heads.

"You're already getting one corner and two corners back together. Did you still (...) have the ability to play"

Man - [King of Crimes] Zex Würfel vomits words as he is convinced, pushing up glasses made from his own flesh.

At the time of receiving the request from [Tenryu King], Zex understood [Gloria] 's karakuri.

There are three main reasons for that.

First, inconsistencies between combat records and combat results. That [Sword King] Fortesura cut off the wings and tail of [Gloria] in that battle, but only the wings had fallen on the battlefield trail.

Secondly, a comparison with one's own nature. Zex is a slime, and it is also possible to reconstitute the whole body from a thousand chopped parts if it is a somewhat larger chunk. That's what Slime can do, so it's not necessarily that < SUBM > can't... tail [Gloria] lost from the battlefield trail.

Thirdly, the suggestion of [Tenryu King]. [Heavenly Dragon King] is his own undead everywhere over this continent... flying the dragon of the Spiritual Body and sharing its sight. With so much information-gathering ability, [Tenryu Wang] had hinted that there were multiple [Gloria]. That definitely means it exists.

Convinced of the existence of a second [Gloria] that regenerates from the tail for the above reasons, the spaces that [Tenryu King] 's undead could not see - searching around the basement and underwater sequentially from near the claiming mill.

That's how now Zex discovers [Gloria] to play.

"I found it."

"Kukukuku... as you read it"

When Zex mutters to himself, the voice of [Tenryu King] responds.

No matter what [Tenryu King] looks like there, there is instead a piece of scales in Zex's hands.

It is the scale of [Tenryu King], and this is also the undead made by [Tenryu King] with his unique skills to separate souls.

It's what I usually use to invite Zex to Mount Sky.

And because it is an undead, arguably a division of [Tenryu King], it is not compromised within the Endangered Realm.

"It's the basement above the proposal. You can't fight a [flare] in a place like this."

'Oh. Worst case scenario, the kingdom's ground itself will melt. Besides, this guy's suspicious that he might die from it, so it's not funny. Kukukukukukukuku'

"You're laughing."

Using tens of thousands of degrees of ultra-high heat, it is also known as the "Star Dragon” [Hui Long Wang Drag Flare]. If he fights on this occasion, he could cause a crustal fluctuation in the kingdom.

That's probably why Zex, who is most comfortable adjusting his power (...), was asked to crusade.

"But are only one corner and two corners growing? So it's just the knocked down neck."

"Sounds like it."

Zex also grasps in the message of [Tenryu King] that one and two corners of [Gloria] have already been crusaded.

"If Shu doesn't take him down before he settles, it's going to be a little bad."

And Zex grinned,

"So let's get started. At the bottom of this darkness... this killing of me and you."

- I stepped into four corners at supersonic speed.

"Shapeshift - Sword (Schwert)"

Zex transforms his right wrist into a blade of mythical metal equivalent hardness.

At the same time, slime back from the two arms of your right arm to your wrist and shake like a whip with a blade.

None of us are lost in that step or in the attack. Zex moves, as if even in an unknown space it is firmly visible.

Zex's attacks easily tear apart and damage the Scale's Defense that had four corners - an END that reaches about 30,000.

…………

Four corners were considered very naturally "bad" for being damaged.

More than the three corners are still on the main unit, the status enhancement due to HP drop using Rise and Rehabilitation is not on the four corners.

On the contrary, neither the two remaining heads can use wound changes nor the True Death Junction because they do not yet have a core.

Possible are:

"OOOVVERR (final) RDDRRIVE (pole)"!! "

The "Ultimate" of power that is no different from the body and dimension, released from a single corner of playback.

The braces of light penetrate the space where the zex, evacuated in a daylight manner, and evaporate the bedrock, illuminating the unknown underground cavity as if it were midday.

"This makes your liver cold."

Saying that with a cool face, Zex overlaps the offense.

The four corners are still letting the braces spit on one corner during that time, but they don't hit.

The light emitted by the neck of the regenerated single corner is thinner than that of the body. Power is the only thing that doesn't change, but it's narrow in scope and hasn't captured the opponent.

In addition, Zex has no reason to know, but the Endangered Realm is also weakened. It's now a junction to the extent of killing level 250 or less within a radius of 100 meters.

Because we haven't been able to play our core yet, our abilities have weakened from one corner to the next.

Still, the opponent is a mythical monster who possesses two ancient Epic specialization abilities.

But Zex has no intention of losing, and no shards.

Rather, this is what I think.

- I'm sure this is the easiest I can do.

From Figaro, who fought [Gloria], who had full power.

From the moon and night we fought [Gloria], where the power of absolute death was extreme.

From Shu, who is now fighting against [Gloria], who has turned it into pure strongest,

My battle must be easy, he said.

That's why you can't lose, he said.

"Shape Shift - Machine Cannon"

Zex deforms the left wrist to the tip of the gun.

Whether it is a machine with a complex mechanism, Zex is allowed to deform his body.

The bullets released are bounced by scales whether they are not as powerful as swords.

With the firepower of the Gatling cannon, we didn't get to break that defense.

But that doesn't matter.

……!?

Four corners notice the discomfort on their body surface.

The bullet you were supposed to have played adhered to the body surface, damaging the scales slightly.

The bullet had at some point turned into black liquid - slime.

Just as the Gatling cannon is deformed Zex himself, so are the bullets unleashed.

Immediately after the landing, he returns from the bullet to the slime, scratching and hurting it.

…………!!

Of the four horns without a mouth, the two necks that regenerated also rattle bitterly.

Zex approaches [Gloria] suddenly again in that gap.

Now closer than before, in time closer than the Sword of the Whip.

"Shapeshift - [Destroyer] 's Right Arm (Lecht Alm)"

In the third shape-shift, Zex's right arm turns into a right arm that is not his.

Beat [Gloria] 's body surface with its right arm, far more muscular than his.

Shortly afterwards [Gloria] bent his body as if it had suffered the greatest damage to date, … and at the same time Zex's right arm was severed a thousand times in recoil.

"Shu still has a STR too high, and even the degraded version will take your arm off with recoil"

Zex said so calmly as he retrieved his thousand cut right arm back into the slime to himself.

Swords, machine guns, and the right arm of [Destroyer King] Shu Sterling.

The deformation to these is all done with one skill.

Shape Shift.

It is the active skill of Nun, the < Super Embrio > of Zex.

Nunn possesses only four skills, including ShapeShift and Passive Skills, Liquid Lifeforms and Special Skills.

This skill deforms the flesh of Zex in the name of deformation (shape-shift).

It usually deforms just the shape so that it's human shaped, but it's supposed to be one step above that.

It is a skill that is acquired even to the ability of the deformed subject.

Currently, Zex is deforming his left arm into the second form of Shu Sterling's Embrio.

Shape Shift does not originally acquire equipment skills apart from the appearance and strength of the equipment.

But if it's not an item, it's possible.

…………

[Gloria] attacks Zex as if he were his own giant.

Zex again hits the counter against Sole with the right arm of [Destroyer King]...... smashed and scattered under attack.

But that body, which should have been crushed, will soon regenerate and get back to normal.

It is the effect of Liquid Life, which excels in regeneration and almost renders physical attacks powerless.

"Shapeshift", which freely deforms and acquires even abilities; "Liquid Life Form", which plays well and almost disables physical attacks; and "Crime History (World Records)", a passive skill in the reinforced system that makes [King of Crimes] 's only skill and is deep.

Due to the combination of these three skills, there is no gap between the attacks.

That's the basic fighting style of [the criminal king].

"That deformation to the neck of a single corner doesn't seem possible in Shapeshift. You can't increase repertoire."

Seeing [Gloria] spit the braces out of her mouth, Zex squeaks so much as she gave up.

It stems from Nun's shortcomings.

There are also three shortcomings in nuns that have a breaking versatility.

The first is that in Shape Shift, the level difference from the subject is related to the accuracy of the deformation. Even if the level difference is equal, the ability falls to about 50%, and if you acquire the exact same ability, you need to double the level of the target. The same is true of the Embrio form, which can only acquire full abilities up to the third form.

The second is that skills that do not know the details of their abilities cannot be used even if they are deformed. I don't know how to use it, it's not included as a function during deformation in the first place.

And the third is...... lack of resources.

Shapeshift, a omnipotent deformation capability, and Liquid Life, a powerful defensive capability. Only one of these is powerful, and that is the ability not to be strange even if it is equivalent to the whole thing.

Therefore, Nun, who has earned both, is significantly inferior to the others in other parts.

It is a status correction to.

Nun is the rarest in the world - it is an embrio of all status negative corrections (...).

All statuses have been roughly halved, and their negative correction extends to SPs to maintain deformation. Shape Shift is a form that depletes SP and even creates a time limit for deformation.

Instead of being anyone, it bears a huge hand on other masters in the performance of the vegetables.

That's Zex Würfel.

It is because we have already solved all three shortcomings (...) that [King of Crimes] Zex Würfel is feared.

"Kukukuku"

"Oh, I hear another fun voice, what's up?

'What? Your friend is fighting a really creepy battle. Such battles have been fought since the days when [the king] and previous generations of [dragon emperors] were present. "

"That battle, this makes me want to see a little too....?

In the battle against [Gloria] on the way to regeneration, Zex still had room to exchange words with [Tenryu King].

But the look changes slightly.

Zex staggered - tearing his own body apart (...) and sprinkling it all around him.

- Immediately after, countless threads of light ran through the underground cavity.

"The Ultimate" narrower in scope than the body that had been released from [Gloria] 's mouth.

That now turns into an even thinner light - hundreds of threads of light (...) to ramble through the underground cavity.

The light emitted by [Gloria] remains unchanged only in its power, increasing only its number far enough to dissolve the underground cavity itself.

[Gloria] is a monster who can create new skills on his own.

That's this regenerated [Gloria]...... even if it's four corners, it doesn't change.

In response to the predicament of Zex in front of the eye… new skills were being developed to further divide the force of a single angle weaker than the original, and the surface pressure was jumping exceptionally high.

That new skill, which should also be referred to as the Diffusion End Spread-Over Drive, exhausted all of the underground cavities and evaporated about 20% of Zex's body, which had been avoided by pre-splitting.

However, while the volume (HP) is sharpened considerably, the fragments of Zex gather and regenerate immediately after the Diffusion End has subsided.

Turn your arm into a gatoring cannon again and fire yourself into [Gloria].

But that bullet doesn't reach [Gloria].

I went as close as I could to touching [Gloria] - becoming the dust of light.

Now around [Gloria] … dense enough junctions are unfolding to be visible.

It's The Endangered Realm.

It is a compressed "extinct junction" with a deployment radius of 50 cm (...).

That is not the power to extensively annihilate, as is traditionally the case.

Just the power to wipe out all the creatures that have come into my surroundings and protect myself.

If it is now the "Endangered Connection" - the "Compressed Endangered Connection", it will be easily obliterated whether it is a human being above the 1000 level. The fact that the bullet that is Zex's identity is extinguished is proof to the left.

In addition, the constriction of the junction also makes no gap as a defensive capability.

The "Endangered Realm" as usual would not have been able to compress it, but the weakening of the force had made compression easier on the contrary.

Diffusion End and Compressed Extinction Junction.

In this short time, it can be said that the [Gloria] of the regeneration has gained no less power than a single- and double-horned trump card.

Impossible as it should be... but there are factors that have made it so.

The situation was (...) too bad for [Gloria (...)].

The three neck core has not yet been restored and is far from peak season.

Relatingly, I don't know what I'm good at or what I'm bottom of [Criminal King].

A situation where there will be no later if the self that is the backup is destroyed.

To the adversity, the crisis of life, that we never experienced, [Gloria] 's survival instincts reconstituted the power that we now have to braid two skills.

As the most inferior in output but skillful [Gloria]...... here the four corners were acquiring a new style of combat.

"The thinner rays were diluted and diffused. In addition, by further narrowing the boundaries of the junction, you raised the lethal target?"

As he pressed up his glasses, Zex calmly broke through [Gloria] 's hands.

This is a very bad situation for Zex.

Zex has no other technique than to fight his body as a weapon, so the Compressed Endangered Realm is a natural enemy.

Besides, in the "Diffusion End" attack range, the whole body of Zex will eventually be wiped out.

"I see. You thought about it. Creative ingenuity, I think it's great. Especially the change in the junction is great. You must be one of the few people who can break it."

In a situation where such a situation was reversed, Zex said so to impress.

And I laughed nicely,

"So that's -" Destroy (...) Every Connection, "okay?

I asked him to confirm.

"Then I know this too. Because my friends are good at those methods of warfare."

…………!?

Four horns wander into an unspeakable sense of intimidation.

There was indeed admiration and surprise in Zex's attitude.

But the two powers gained by the Four Corners... the shards are not seen as a threat either.

It's as if you already have a way of dealing with (...)

"Can you hear me, Zex?"

"Oh, what's up?

To the words of [Tenryu King] heard from the scales, Zex responds wondering if anything had happened.

"It's time to settle up there too"

"I see, that's a problem"

Zex received the word "Shu's victory is near" that the settlement was close.

As much as that, Zex trusts Shu's power.

But if the main body perishes, this regeneration [Gloria] will also grow a three-horned neck.

[Gloria] will be aligned here, including the neck that raises the status the lower the HP.

Therefore, we can no longer choose a long-term battle.

"Then there will be dealing with the juncture, and with that I (...), let's settle it immediately. I'll borrow everything, Shu (...)"

Immediately after that word, the signs of Zex are further transformed.

Four corners felt that the ignorance of the specialty of things that were not people in the shape of people in front of them would be replaced by something completely different while maintaining that fear.

It's like the ocean at night turns into a tsunami... an overwhelming sign of power.

"Ha-ha-ha."

Zex is losing the shape of man and returning to the liquid.

At the same time, the volume is inflated.

A vast underground cavity that was over 100 meters high to the ceiling swells to the point where it feels narrow.

[Gloria] attacks in the Diffusion End, but the expansion speed is exceptionally above extinction.

It's as if you're trying to be something with a huge amount of HP.

And as he swells up, he transforms his appearance to the inside... and Zex just utters a word.

"" I deserve to look (nun) "- ■ ■ ■ ■"

Immediately afterwards, the dark liquid formed one form...

To be continued
