Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Fire Dragon Rend

As Uchiha Madara was giving a detailed explanation to the new group members, Beryl quietly interjected.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Eh? I was only gone for a moment, and two new members joined the group."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Hello everyone, I am Beryl, the Group Leader of this Chat Group. If you have any questions, you can ask me."]

Not long after Beryl finished speaking, a question appeared on the screen.

[APTX4869 Researcher: "@World's No. 1 Princess, the administrator just said that the Chat Group can revive the deceased. Is that true? Can you explain in detail how it's done?"]

Uchiha Madara had only just become an administrator, and the administrator's permissions did not provide much description for actions like revival.

After Haibara Ai learned some information from Uchiha Madara, she immediately pressed her questions when she saw the Group Leader come online.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "The person you want to revive, is it your older sister?"]

[APTX4869 Researcher: "You... how did you know?"]

Haibara Ai was surprised. She did say she wanted to revive someone, but she had never revealed in the group that the person she wanted to revive was her older sister.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Don't worry, I am not a member of Black Organization. As long as a group member joins the Chat Group, the past and future trajectories of the world you live in will be captured to a certain extent."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Of course, the past and future mentioned are based on the assumption that you haven't joined the chat group."]

[APTX4869 Researcher: "I... I see."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "The purpose of the Chat Group's existence is to better change the predetermined future and even revise past regrets. Of course, you can also obtain powerful strength if you wish."]

[Princess of the Abyss: "Strength, huh... @World's No. 1 Princess, Group Leader, are you very strong?"]

In Teyvat, as the Princess of the Abyss who rules the Abyss, Lumine yearned greatly for powerful strength.

After all, she would eventually have to fight the Heavenly Principles.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Different worlds have different laws, and the expression of strength will vary. It's difficult to compare without actually fighting. As for me, in my own world, I'm pretty good."]

Beryl's words were ambiguous, but Lumine did not press further. She still maintained considerable caution towards the Chat Group.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Earlier, a new group member asked about revival."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "I'll explain it here. Once the Chat Group reaches Level 3, a trading system will be activated, and the answer you're looking for will be in there."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "There are two ways to upgrade the Chat Group: group member activity and the number of group members."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "@APTX4869, do you have any more questions?"]

The Chat Group's public chat fell silent for a moment, then a message appeared.

[Haibara Ai: "No more, thank you, Group Leader."]

At some point, Haibara Ai had changed her group nickname to her own name.

"Revival..."

In Teyvat, Lumine was also peeking at the Chat Group's messages, and she murmured, "In many worlds, topics related to revival often involve forbidden knowledge."

"To be able to speak about it so freely, the Group Leader's strength might even surpass the Heavenly Principles."

However, in the next moment, a warning message from the Chat Group made Lumine's face show confusion.

Other group member?

[Ding - Detected group member Kumoko, encountering life-threatening danger. Life force is rapidly decreasing.]

Just after this message popped up in the Chat Group, the Chat Group's live stream was opened.

[Kumoko: "Help! Help! A spider is going to die."]

The screen showed an extremely high-temperature magma area.

Kumoko was clinging to a protruding rock far from the magma on the ground.

She was panting continuously, a large part of her abdomen was missing, and she had lost several of her spider legs.

Blood continuously seeped from the wounds.

It could be seen that Kumoko's health bar, displayed in the numerical template above her head, had already dropped to a very low level.

[Kikyo: "Such severe injuries."]

[Uchiha Madara: "Did you encounter an enemy?"]

[Haibara Ai: "Is this also a group member?"]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Where are you now? @Kumoko."]

Surrounded by magma?

Kumoko was so severely injured, and still in a magma area.

That Fire Dragon Rend, half-crippled, that Kumoko's mother slapped into the magma?

[Kumoko: "Group Leader has finally appeared! I need urgent help..."]

In the original work, Kumoko was always alone. Now that Kumoko had joined the Chat Group, she subconsciously contacted the Chat Group, specifically the influential Group Leader, hoping that the Group Leader would have some way to help her.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Fire Dragon Rend?"]

[Kumoko: "Eh, the Group Leader knows too? It's him! That guy is so hateful, relying on his stats being so much higher than mine, he keeps bullying me."]

Fire Dragon Rend spewed a stream of fire, and Kumoko quickly jumped to dodge.

Kumoko leaped onto a nearby stone slab floating on the magma.

[Haibara Ai: "A fire-breathing dragon!?]

[Kumoko: "It's this dragon. I don't know how I provoked him, but he tries to kill me on sight. I'm so weak and pathetic, does he really need to do this?"]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Kumoko, I can transfer some of my power to help you eliminate this Fire Dragon, but are you sure you want my help? Especially when someone is monitoring you."]

[Kumoko: "Ah, is someone really watching?!"]

For some time now, Kumoko had vaguely felt like someone was watching her, but no matter how carefully she searched, she found nothing.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "The person watching you is the developer of your current numerical system, and she's also the one who sent you to this world. She's a god, you know!"]

[Kumoko: "Eh, no way. I thought the numerical interface was developed by you, Group Leader. So it wasn't, and it involves some kind of god? I'm just a weak little spider, why am I so miserable?"]

Being watched by a god, she didn't want that kind of attention.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "I can help you, but if it is discovered, you might be dissected."]

[Kumoko: "Group Leader, can't you defeat that God?"]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "We haven't fought, so I don't know. The Chat Group can only transfer a portion of my power. If I fail, you'll definitely be the one to suffer."]

[Kumoko: "...Then I'll just solve it myself."]

A Fire Dragon and a God who can create a system—anyone with half a brain would know which one is easier to deal with.

At least, this Fire Dragon still seemed to offer a glimmer of hope.

Kumoko had previously suspected that someone was monitoring her.

This was also why, even during battle, she kept talking in the Chat Group without any change in her expression; she didn't want to be discovered.
