Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

176 minutes, speaks

My brother is in charge of Queens.

I don't have a name yet.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. I mean, I'm no longer a queen.

Are you aware of the main unit?

That I'm connected to the main body, but almost another being.

I'm not the only one.

Parallel intentions, which were attacking other Queens and Demon Kings via their souls, have become much smaller and different from the main body already.

Maybe it's because we ingested someone else's soul, but right now we're separate from the main body.

We didn't originally have a concept of a body in parallel will.

All parallel intentions were the same, and there was no upward or downward relationship there.

The person in charge is just different.

While each works as a different will, the backbone is exactly the same.

That was us.

That's changing now.

A pyramid could be made in which completely other intentions would be inferior, based on the will that remained in the original flesh.

I don't know if you are aware of the main unit, but we are an accessory to the main unit.

Well, I'm not dissatisfied with that.

It's just that the existence of me separated me as a queen apart from the main body.

So far, no orders have been issued from the main unit to act unscrupulous.

The body now has the power of command over us.

Or they're holding a biocidal robbery.

If the body cares about it, we will be absorbed into the body of every soul and virtually die.

So you can't go against the main body.

Well, I don't seem to be willing to do that to the main body at the moment.

I've got my new body.

Blah, you didn't have to have a body or anything if you were just going to retrieve me.

Because all you have to do is let the soul of the main body absorb my soul.

In that case, my presence will melt into the main body and disappear.

Did you instinctively avoid that?

This isn't much different from what you're doing, is it?

The Demon King created Queen as his own split.

The queen bred and made a species called the Talatect species.

The Demon King rules over it.

This is the true army of the Demon King.

Pyramid culminating in the Demon King.

The difference between us is, I wonder if I have the will right.

Queen is just a tool to the Demon King.

Even though he was such a powerful demon, he had only a weak will to the extent that he was eaten and killed by me.

Now, intelligence is pretty expensive.

That's more like a computer than an organism.

A living machine with excellent arithmetic functions but no will or emotion of its own.

That's what Queen was.

Live mechanically, lay eggs to increase your hand pawns and leave them alone.

Put it under your own control when you grow up to some extent.

It's like some kind of factory, a production line for demons as if they were in line with the manual.

So I was the foreign body that got into it.

Me, or the main body.

Me and the soul of the main body are still linked today with the same strength as they used to be.

But it's as strong as that, and it's fused with other souls.

Queen in my case.

Thanks to the weakness of the original Queen's will, it has no effect on ideas or anything.

But as a being, I'm already completely different from before.

Well, that's why I don't know what's wrong.

So far, no harm has been done.

However, you have also decided that the body should not instinctively increase the parallel will to mutate as it is, and no new will has emerged even when the skill level of parallel will has increased.

I only use it to such an extent that I exercise magic unconsciously.

The asshole in the main unit seems to be constantly releasing a very trace amount of magic on himself to increase his skill level.

Unconsciously.

My guess is that that is a level of parallel willingness skill that I don't express as a will.

With the main body now, don't split the will, but when I was in charge of magic, could I make a similar move?

Or laughed when the old man started imitating the main body.

The old man blows himself up, and the main body says he's imitating himself, but he's stupid without realizing it.

Don't tell me the truth because it's funny.

The old man remains after the main body has left with a metastasis.

Hi. They've been grabbing something in the last few days.

Looking at it, the construction of magic is becoming quite precise.

Magic manipulation skills have also risen to the next level.

There was quite a bit less darkness arrow cod and suicide bombing like when I came here.

Still, I do blow myself up sometimes though.

I'm free too, so I decided to improve my skills.

Me and the body's skills are linked.

If I improve my skills, my body's skills should be improved as well.

Well, even if I try to raise my skill level, it doesn't just go right up like the main body.

My skills are borrowed from the main body.

My skills as a queen have already been absorbed into my body.

Skills aren't the only ones that have been absorbed though.

So even if I want to increase my skill level, it's hard to rise because I'm a borrower.

Still, it adds up to proficiency.

It imitates the body and activates minimal magic, wrapping it around itself.

Mm-hmm.

It's hard to get out of the way.

The main unit was always unconscious, but it's always tough to let it unfold when it's me.

Now I know why the old man blows himself up.

The old man looks at me with a sparkling eye when he activates his magic.

No, because I'm not happy to be stared at by an old man like that.

Oh, my concentration's out and my magic's messed up.

Turn off the magic before it erupts.

Damn right.

Activate all the ice magic you can remember new to your eight-hitting mood.

It's just magic to fly lower level ice, but my status makes it a hell of a power.

I keep the size of the ice, explode and release the density and ejection speed of the ice.

Can you change the density of the ice?

So, you'd think, that's what the ice generated by the magic of this world can do.

Dense ice increases its weight and strength.

By the way, the generated ice returns to magic over time, so eating doesn't quench your thirst.

Fantasy indeed.

The ice ejected puts a hole in the wall of the labyrinth.

Phew.

Even the tanks of the original world will penetrate.

It cleared my mind, and should I continue to improve my skills?

So, old man, don't look at that cancer.
