Chapter 990 - Ch. 990 – As Long as They’re Not Dead

Even if the world gets out of control, Takumi can easily resolve it.

But Takumi must be informed in advance about these developments.

Otherwise, he might restart the world himself—and that would completely erase Ruan Mei's research.

That's why she came to notify him.

If Takumi noticed anomalies and took action without warning, she wouldn't even have time to protest.

"Okay."

"Let it evolve naturally."

"If it can ascend again in level..."

"Then the value will be enormous."

"Even if it doesn't reach the main world's level, it might still get close."

Takumi thought it through and chose not to interfere.

Since Ruan Mei wanted this, he would cooperate.

He understood her concerns.

Even if he noticed changes, he wouldn't be too bothered.

After all, he was also curious about how that world would evolve.

After they finished speaking, Ruan Mei's projection vanished.

She had delivered the message.

Now it was up to the world to shape itself.

She was genuinely excited.

Many of her experimental subjects were placed in that world.

As the world upgraded, the species within it would surely evolve.

What would become of her specimens?

Ruan Mei was full of anticipation.

She had carefully mapped out an evolutionary path.

But in the blink of an eye, the world veered onto a different track.

It was suddenly far more fascinating.

After finishing her communication with Takumi,

Ruan Mei began examining that world's condition.

She didn't go there directly.

Instead, she remained at the research institute outside the world.

Those omnipotent energies would be enough to study for a long time.

They were truly incredible.

They had the ability to amplify everything.

So far, many uses had already been discovered.

Enhancing personal power was only the beginning.

They could boost other things too.

It was like universal energy.

Perhaps they were simply too advanced.

That's why they amplified everything.

Strength enhancement was just the base-level function.

Hence, deeper studies were essential.

Everyone needed to understand what these omnipotent energies truly were.

After checking on the world, Ruan Mei let it run its course.

Let things develop naturally.

Thinking this, Fujiwara Ruan Mei returned to her research.

She focused on studying the energy.

Meanwhile, Takumi notified Esdeath.

He told her about the world's evolving state.

Esdeath was surprised by the news.

"Mutating in an unknown direction?"

"In other words, it's becoming increasingly unpredictable?"

"How interesting."

"If monsters appear that you can't handle, I'll deal with them."

"Don't worry."

Esdeath's lips curled into a slight smile.

Finally, something interesting.

She was almost dying of boredom.

Now that excitement had arrived, she could hardly wait.

Hopefully, some real surprises would appear.

With that thought, Esdeath ended her call with Takumi.

Then she turned her attention to the battlefield.

Her daily job was monitoring the combat zones.

However, her sub-commanders were performing admirably.

She didn't need to micromanage.

Just occasional oversight was enough.

But during this particular review, she noticed something strange.

The monsters seemed... smarter?

They were coordinating.

They were using team tactics.

Esdeath's interest was instantly piqued.

"So it's already started?"

"Weren't the changes supposed to be just beginning?"

"And it's already this far along?"

Esdeath was genuinely surprised.

After observing for a bit, she issued new orders to Prometheus.

"Prometheus, collect battlefield data for me."

"Those bugs are using tactics now."

"I want to see how far they can evolve."

Esdeath now had to focus closely.

Would the bugs continue fighting solo like before?

Or would they evolve into full squad-level threats?

She was eager to find out.

"Understood!"

Prometheus immediately got to work.

It began collecting combat data nonstop.

Soon, various metrics were reported to Esdeath.

Just as she suspected, things were progressing quickly.

After a brief review, Esdeath issued alerts.

She told everyone to stay vigilant.

Don't let mistakes occur.

Real battles were coming.

Before, it was teams ganging up on isolated bugs.

Now, enemies were forming squads too.

The battle dynamics had changed.

She hoped her soldiers wouldn't falter.

Esdeath made sure to warn them.

Everyone receiving her command was startled.

They'd been fighting outside the world long enough to understand the bugs' threat.

Occasionally, those creatures would evolve or strengthen.

Sometimes, they made things miserable for the defenders.

And now? They'd evolved again?

Oh no!

It was an official order from the general.

Usually, she didn't micromanage.

As long as they didn't die, she didn't bother.

Orders and strategy were left to sub-commanders.

But now? She herself had spoken?

It must be serious.

Just as that sank in, a sharp alarm blared.

Hearing it, everyone's expression changed.

They rushed out to the battlefield.

And then... they saw it.

A colossal beast the size of a small world emerged.

Seeing it, many people gulped.

"You've got to be kidding."

"Huh?"

"What is that? You expect me to fight it?"

"How are we supposed to handle this?!"

"Hiss—!!"

"Stop joking! Everyone gather! Battle formation! Now!"

Everyone was stunned.

Who would've guessed such a creature would appear?

Could they even handle it?

Esdeath also got the message.

She arrived at the battlefield.

Staring at the behemoth, Esdeath was momentarily speechless.

She only said to stay alert.

But this—this was beyond expectation.

Now, this was truly a shock.

That beast was astonishing!
