＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

■ Vito

We were invincible.

Other than Hikaru, he had no parents and lived with children in the same situation in the garden.

Still, we didn't think we were unhappy.

Hikaru was the leader, Michi was the know-it-all, the big one was the moodmaker, the little one was attentive, and the licking gourd (morsel) was... together.

I was the strongest fighter, so I fooled us and busted the school guys who badly said rich hikaru.

I was always fighting because if I was strong, my people wouldn't be fooled.

So whether you preached to Hikaru or made a big tease of him, I was rather happy.

If we had all six of us, we'd always be invincible... and we'd always have fun.

◆

But... that day's accident broke my day.

The last thing I saw from inside the car was the ceiling of a collapsing tunnel.

◆

It's not bad that Hikaru invited me on a trip.

The gardener I was driving wasn't bad either.

So everything else (...) was bad.

Just like without our parents.

Nobody, in the dark where you can't see anything.

I was alone, not invincible, not even fun... anxious.

Where I'm not, I thought they'd make fun of me or say bad things.

Even if I can't see anything (...), even if I can't reach them (...), I have to protect them...

◆

... Soon I was in the mountains.

I thought it was a dream, but for the first time in a long time, I had a feeling for my body.

There's a grown woman there like an animal, and she's been explaining this to me.

This is a game, he said something unexplainable.

I grabbed him and tried to hear where everyone was.

But I was lightly impressed and said, "I'm not Cheshire. I'm sorry to be moffed," he said again without any explanation.

Then they told me what the makings of the avatar were like, and they told me to choose who I was.

I regret getting caught up in it and I regret not being able to protect everyone from accidents... I wanted myself to grow up more.

Then they told me to pick a country, and everyone asked me where I went.

But the animal woman said, "I don't know," and went on to say, "If you're a friend or companion, you'll see for yourself".

To put it naturally, I was convinced… I chose a country where cherry blossom trees stood out, which Lick Guard said I was looking forward to on a trip.

So, naturally.

In that country...... I reunited with everyone.

◆

I traveled with everyone.

We all did our best.

◆

For everyone's sake, I - defeat the bad stuff (...) that hurts us.

◆ ◆ ◆

■ [Red Crystal Crusher] Cockpit

Three people, other than Hikaru and Vito, were unsure what to do.

The [catastrophic warfare] Vito took out is their trump card, but at the same time there are restrictions on its use.

If I use it now, I won't be able to reuse it for the other month. Last time I used it against [King of Light] 's summoning monsters and drones... I have lost all the terrain and monsters around me.

Originally intended for use in < super > or < fort > attacks.

In fact, the king who ruled over them would have moved at that rate as well.

If you're going to use it here, the trump card of a borrower... is something that surpasses [disastrous warfare] in pure combat power.

But Vito, who killed Melo, has no hesitation in using it.

I would probably use it even if it stopped me.

Regardless, if Smalls doesn't connect to Igoronak's back machine upstairs underground, we won't be able to send him in...

"Uh..."

Small looked at Hikaru, as he turned to judgment.

Hikaru sees Vito, not [causing a disaster].

"... Vito. What do you think caused the consequences of this one?

"It's that silver-haired son of a bitch! To the black bastard who escaped to it, the spear woman who got in the way! The king who sent Melo over there so he could put a collar in us!... everything!

A countermeasure to Melo's belonging to the kingdom, he said, was the King's proposal.

Dissenting opinions emerged as dangerous within irrespective Members, but at the same time biased towards the conclusion that rejection was difficult.

And eventually Melo himself tolerated it in fear. 'Cause... if you refuse the King of the Empire's favor, it's hard...?',.

And she did her part, succeeded in the ambush... and died.

Is it a death penalty or a reunion that will never come true again? I don't know now.

Vito said the blame - as it has always been - lies around us.

"No."

But Hikaru denies it.

"This is what happened... me"

Melo died because of himself.

"Huh?"

"I'm the leader of the team. I was also negotiating with the Empire."

Or if Hikaru could have stood around better, would he have been involved in this fight in a better way... or would have done it without it.

But Hikaru feels impudent about his own lack of power, which he could not.

"... Above all, I was the one who instructed Melo to impose a mechanism to block the exit"

If it weren't for that process, or maybe I could have gotten away with it without bowling with Luke.

But there was also greed.

He said that if he dropped one flag here and achieved merit, he could carry his relationship with the Empire to his advantage and maybe remove the shackles of the future.

Besides, all the < masters > of the kingdom lost sight and thought that there was no first risk of being able to hurt Melo.

But the risk that wasn't supposed to be the result... peeled my fangs in the form of Luke Holmes.

Or maybe the quote was sweetening because I had never made my buddy a death penalty before.

That's why Hikaru thinks responsibility lies with him.

"But...!

Vito can't blame Hikaru for being one of them.

And even though it's vito and distracting from the inside, I really do.

In the first place, he said that the culprit who came to this request was himself (...).

Not when I ambushed Luke in the third plane, but more... back to when I started working as Igoronak.

Vito is responsible for his name as Igoronak the “immortal”.

I used my < Embrio > as a sign and worked on various quests and crusades.

I moved to show strength, not to protect myself.

By doing so, did you try to create a virtual statue for not being licked from the others, or was it a symbol of strength that he psychologically needed?

That may be attributed to the life before we set foot in < Infinite Dendrogram >.

However, because of his activity, he was blinded by the king and... his secrets were also revealed.

So it can also be said that the first cause is in Vito.

As Hikaru blamed himself, even Vito knows at the bottom of his heart.

"Still, I...!

Still, I won't forgive you.

He can't forgive us all but ourselves for taking away our beloved companions.

It also resembles the blind divinity that is also his < Embrio > motif.

Or maybe the only thing he sees in his world is his people.

Except for my people... who are essentially enemies in their world.

"Small"

Holding his fist and keeping his gaze on the teeth-eating vito, Hikaru goes small......

- Open the gate.

- I gave instructions to allow Vito's wishes.

"Huh!?

"Yes, okay...?

All the other members are surprised by Hikaru's words.

Because I denied Vito's suggestion and thought I would withdraw as it was.

"I don't mind. This one lost his people in a plan set up by the King. I have no further instructions to follow. I fulfilled the minimum.... From here on out, we will move."

Hikaru puts his fingers together and tells the members sitting in the front seat.

The voice is slightly heavy.

It was a voice that seeped anger at its own impudence and at enemies similar to Vito's.

"Our two names are" Immortality (The No Return) ""

That's two names attributed to Igoronak's style of combat, which pushes forward regardless of damage and destroys enemies, but in another sense Hikaru was convinced.

There's nothing more in the name of showing ourselves.

"There is no way back to us.

There is no way for us to start over.

We just move on. "

The past cannot be changed, only to push the path laid down by past tragedies.

That's Igor Ronak, the way they are.

(Or maybe only Melo... Only she with that gentle < Embrio > believed she could 'start over')

That melo, too, is not here now.

Therefore, Igoronak moves forward.

Shake off all constraints.

"Except Vito. Engagement in the Labyrinth is the last with [catastrophic warfare] input. Success or failure."

Which way, on this battlefield, we can't unleash all their power.

That's why it's the last time in [disaster warfare].

This will also exert its power inside the labyrinth... destroy only the inside of the labyrinth.

"However, it takes the full and defeat of the status quo"

"... Oh!

Vito nodded forcefully at the GO sign that was put down.

"Michi. There's no Tian inside the labyrinth, right?

"I'm not here."

"Okay. MP donation - 20 million (...)"

"Aurai! Hikaru!"

Hikaru gives Vito the biggest MP ever.

Vito flushed all of his MP straight down to [catastrophic warfare].

And let the small open gate dive into the [catastrophic battle] turned into Igoronac.

"[Disaster induced war] Igor Ronak out. - Countdown Start"

And the final attack on the Tomb Labyrinth by Igor Ronak of "Immortality" began.

◇ ◆ ◇

□ ■ - Basement level 2

"Mmmm...!

There was movement in the semi-destructed [Igoronac type], which stood in front of Marilyn's eyes.

Another presence emerged from the back, as if to peel it off.

That's a wary, colored power suit...... [Disaster Causing Destruction Fuse].

Both hands are equipped with [steel cracks] just like previous fuselages.

"The appearance and, above all, the amount of force put in is different! Extreme alert!

Ancient Epic Benefit Armor with the power of Embrio and above all the magic of Hikaru.

Marilyn also felt the magic that outweighed even the magical superiors.

"- Countdown Start"

And when he showed up completely, [causing a disaster] moved...

"-" Die All "-" Together! "

- I pressed the blade of the chancer rotating into the abdomen of my own fuselage.

"Become!?

Marilyn is stunned by the self-bladed mechanical weapon.

But the consternation is soon replaced by another consternation.

- All the time, Marilyn's whole body was floating like a tsubo.

It also rises on two spears with altered bodies, armor, and horns.

That's not all.

The Tsu pattern was half-broken [Igoronac-type] and [Broadcast-eye], [Igoronac-type] with Igoronac-type skills and remaining rolled on the floor, and even raised in tiles on the walls, floors and ceilings of the Cemetery Labyrinth.

"Ko, is this......!?

They are thorny lines similar to tsu, but not entangled.

Float up against everything, one bottle at a time.

However, the pattern changed slightly from edge to edge... and the colour changed.

As if, like a fire line (...).

"No way suicide bombing skills (...)...!"

Nature has a suicide bomber amongst its elemental monsters.

If you encounter an enemy, blow yourself up and bury the enemy… a group of monsters with characteristics that suffer from understanding based on survival strategies.

There are various theories within the < Infinite Dendrogram > that the reason for this is to keep the rest of the herd alive, or to gather resources and reconstitute them after they all die.

Marilyn intuitively perceived the person in front of her as the same, but at the same time suffered from understanding.

(Why, I'm self-blading......!? The extreme of perplexity!

If you're simply going to blow yourself up, you can explode without a self-blade or anything.

Well, a suicide bomber, Theory, is to take him down before the suicide bombing. It is only foolish for a suicide bomber to take damage from himself before the explosion.

(No way, the kind that explodes by being destroyed? But if there is going to be a massive explosion, the Lord alone must be missed...!

Marilyn thought the Lord had to take it off, even if he could not help himself in the blast.

Fortunately, I also thought it would be easy to escape into the sky if we left the labyrinth because of Audrey's presence.

(No, wasn't the attack from inside the labyrinth to outside thorough in the first place?

"Marilyn"

"Ha! Lord!

In Marilyn's brain, bewildered and conceived about the abnormal situation in front of her eyes, a thought came from Luke, the Lord.

'Something's going on over there right now, isn't it?

'Yes!'

Marilyn immediately informed Luke of the situation in front of her.

To that information, Luke seemed to be thinking about something.

"... the pattern is floating on me and Liz."

'Then get out of here immediately...!

"I already tried to get out (...)"

"That was good......"

Apparently the Lord, who was on the first basement floor, which was also close to the exit, was already able to escape, although Marilyn was relieved.

'So, the pattern is still floating. And the fuse line is going on.'

"There's nothing abnormal about the guard at the entrance, so the human being who was inside at the activation point... no, I wonder if it's activated for all the organisms and all the objects"

Or the range of effects may not be that wide, but it reaches from the second basement floor to near the entrance to the first basement floor.

I mean, not only Luke and Marilyn, but the Rays would be eligible.

'This is probably a curse. After activation it will not be released even if it is out of range. Even with [high-altitude spiritual water]... you can't.'

I tried to un-curse it and it seems to have failed.

"Marilyn. Attack that self-bladed opponent in depth."

'I understand!

I don't ask why.

I don't care what you do if it works when destroying it.

If Luke tells you to do it, I will, Marilyn had no suspicion in that regard.

"Disturbance Pyle!

The Righteousness unleashed by Marilyn hits the [disaster-driven battle] with no way to avoid it.

But there were only minor scratches on the body.

'No! It only works a little! Two!

"Yeah, I get it."

(Huh? What the hell did I find out? No way my incompetence!? I'd be shocked if I were!?

Luke tells confused Marilyn.

"Even when Marilyn attacked, the progress of the ignition line was constant. This isn't about the damage they've taken, it's a simple time lapse."

"This fuse line counts down. Curse activates when all colors change '

"One, I mean?

"It's just like a suicide bomber. We just have to take him down before he blows himself up."

'Okay! I will defeat you!'

Marilyn then moved immediately to begin the pursuit of the [catastrophic war].

Even in the meantime, [catastrophic warfare] continues to attack itself.

Creepy enough, I'm not paying attention to the attack.

As if... you think you can never break it (...).

◇ ◆

Luke continued his reasoning to the [catastrophic battle] as he traveled fast by Liz from the entrance of the Tomb Labyrinth to the second basement.

(... definitely works when the color of the ignition line changes, but the problem is two. One is that the pattern even appears on the building materials of the Tomb Labyrinth)

Essentially, it is considered indestructible, including the Tomb Labyrinth.

The exception is when [Destroyer King] 's Destruction Authority launches a powerful attack.

However, this ignition line is also applied to the.

Hopefully this is just happening and it doesn't actually work.

However, if it breaks through and destroys even the resistance of the Divine Dungeon, it could cause damage and deadly effects through even means of evasion such as [brooch].

(Second, the reason for self-blade)

There is no point in attacking yourself if you decide on the target of the effect at the time of activation and the effect at the countdown.

Instead, they should run around not to be destroyed.

But self-blade... accumulating damage to itself means...

(Accumulation of damage...... same as Ray and the others (...))

The process of turning the damage taken into the value of the effect.

Self-blade is not counter shaped, I guess, regardless of the damage source.

(Assuming you send accumulated damage straight into all objects)

If the immense amount of damage that cannot be rendered inevitable and deactivated is inflicted on everything that has been granted the ignition line.

(then…)

- At that time, it would turn the upper layer of the Tomb Labyrinth into whole dust.

- Involve all living organisms present.
