Kusu sighed as she watched the fragments slip through Beryl's fingers.
"You used a bit too much force," Kusu said, "This thing called a Vision isn't very powerful to begin with; it's for weaker beings to train with."
"How would I know?" Beryl shrugged, "I thought what you made would be a bit sturdier."
"Do you want another one? If so, I'll make one for you," Kusu said, holding two Visions she had brought back from Teyvat.
"Forget it," Beryl waved her hand, "There's no rush for these. If necessary in the future, we'll just make a few and throw them onto some planets to see the effect."
She thought that perhaps after the Naruto World was pulled over, she could throw a few onto it to test.
The nature transformation of the Naruto World was quite similar to the elemental force of the Vision.
"As you wish," Kusu nodded.
...
After some time.
Beryl was still lurking in the Chat Group, and the Chat Group was rather quiet, with everyone busy with their own matters.
Ever since he learned that Kikyo could cultivate in her soul state, the cultivation-crazed Uchiha Madara couldn't resist.
After all, if the world mission was completed, both he and his younger brother could be resurrected, so Uchiha Madara was not in a hurry to use the Dragon Balls for resurrection.
To help Uchiha Sasuke, who strongly resembled his younger brother Izuna, Uchiha Madara also entered a state of cultivation.
He also purchased some cultivation methods from the Chat Group that could enhance his strength.
Suddenly, a message broke the silence of the Chat Group.
[Kumoko: "Help me, Group Leader!"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "?"]
[Kumoko: "When the Demon Lord and I were heading to the demon territory, we unexpectedly stumbled upon a strange ruin, and then we ran into Potimas. Our group began exploring the ruin..."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Get to the point."]
Potimas, Kumoko, and the Demon Lord teamed up. Could it be that ruin?
Beryl seemed lost in thought.
[Kumoko: "Yes, yes, yes. In short, at the bottom of the ruin, we found a bomb capable of destroying a continent. This bomb looks like it's about to detonate."]
[Lumine: "A bomb that can destroy a continent, a man-made object?"]
Lumine, who was secretly observing Aether in Inazuma, was quite interested when she saw the message Kumoko sent in the Chat Group.
[Kumoko: "Yes, yes, yes. I don't know if Potimas made it, but I always feel it has some connection to him. However, he can't control the bomb now, and it's about to explode... There are... there are only three minutes left."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Kumoko, do you want to turn into human?"]
[Kumoko: "Wuwuwu, Group Leader, you're still talking about that now! Little Spider wants to live. Turning into human can wait!"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Kumoko, if you swallow that bomb, you might become a god."]
Seeing Beryl's message, Kumoko, who was in the ruin with the Demon Lord, panicking like an ant on a hot pan, slowly had a question mark appear on her forehead.
[Kumoko: "Group Leader, don't lie to me. If I swallow something like that, even with my Skill, not even my ashes would remain. Group Leader, can you spare some time from your busy schedule to come over and defuse this bomb?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "No, I'm still cultivating right now. My power has been a bit out of control lately. If I go over to your side, it might not be just a continent that gets destroyed, but the entire planet might explode."]
[Kumoko: "..."]
[Lumine: "@World's No. 1 Princess, Group Leader, is it true that Kumoko can become a god?"]
Lumine, with a dazed expression, was lost in thought. The Group Leader wouldn't joke about something like this.
That is to say, in the predetermined future, Kumoko very likely became a god by swallowing that bomb.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Yes, but that was what Kumoko did in the predetermined future, before she joined the Chat Group."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Now... I don't know. Maybe with a bang, she'll be blown to smithereens."]
[Kumoko: "Eh eh eh!"]
[Kumoko: "I... I really ate it?"]
Seeing the message in the Chat Group, Kumoko was instantly dumbfounded.
Such a huge bomb, still emitting infrared-like light.
Could a human possibly digest this in one bite?
Kumoko's eight legs were trembling, and she coughed a few times, glancing at Potimas:
"Hey, Potimas, don't you have a way to stop the bomb?"
"No, once the bomb counts down, even I can't do anything," Potimas said indifferently, "Anyway, this body is just a clone, it doesn't matter if it dies."
Kumoko: "..."
What a jerk!
What to do? What should I do?
[Kumoko: "Um, can I ask a question? If I swallow this thing, will I really survive? What's the probability?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Fifty percent."]
[Kumoko: "Is it that high? If the Group Leader say that, I feel confident."]
[Haibara Ai: "The Group Leader means it's either success or failure. Be mentally prepared."]
[Kumoko: "..."]
That's like saying nothing at all. Could there be a way to both succeed and fail?
Kumoko gritted her teeth, watching the bomb count down, with only thirty seconds left.
"I'm going for it! To turn into a human!"
Kumoko roared and charged towards the bomb.
Her speed was so fast that even the Demon Lord and Potimas beside her didn't have time to react.
With her mouth wide open, Kumoko swallowed the bomb in one gulp.
Kumoko's bizarre action stunned the nearby Demon Lord Ariel and Potimas.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't just eat anything!" The Demon Lord's scalp tingled, and she quickly ran to Kumoko.
Even she, who could swallow anything, wouldn't dare to eat such a bomb.
Is Kumoko trying to die?
Actually, the Demon Lord had a way to forcefully make her power transcend the system's limits and use it to counteract the bomb's power.
However, that would greatly consume her lifespan, even leaving her with only one month to live.
In the original work, Demon Lord Ariel defeated Potimas using this method.
"It's hopeless," Potimas said with a smirk.
"Shut up!" The Demon Lord compressed and released a powerful energy, sending Potimas flying away, directly crashing into the wall behind him.
Ariel no longer paid attention to Potimas; he was just a clone, easily killed with a wave of her hand.
She was worried about Kumoko now.
"Shiro!"
Kumoko was clutching her body, rolling on the ground, her face contorted in pain, which made the Demon Lord's heart ache.
"Why are you so foolish? I still had a way. There was no need to swallow the bomb."
Time passed second by second.
Demon Lord Ariel could only stand by, watching helplessly as Kumoko's struggles grew weaker and weaker.
"Damn it," the Demon Lord gritted her teeth.
If they hadn't unexpectedly encountered Potimas, she and Kumoko wouldn't have gone so deep into this ruin, nor would they have accidentally activated such a continent-destroying bomb.
"It's useless. The power of that bomb is not something your spider friend can swallow. Even you, I'm afraid, wouldn't be able to."
Potimas peeled himself off the wall, still maintaining his arrogant smile.
"Go to hell!"
Ariel raised her hand, a coldness erupting from her black eyes, and a powerful energy pressed down on Potimas like a tidal wave.
Boom!
Potimas exploded instantly, his mechanical parts scattering all over the ground.
"Hmph, even if Shiraori dies, it's not for you to say."
Ariel lowered her hand and took a deep breath.
She took a few steps back, her gaze still fixed on Kumoko.
"If I can absorb some of the bomb's energy, perhaps I can..."
Ariel thought of her Skill.
However, with Kumoko in such an unstable state, any external interference might cause her body to suddenly lose balance and explode.
Damn it, can I only watch?
"Hmm?"
Ariel keenly noticed that the chaotic energy around Kumoko began to stabilize.
Moreover, a cocoon began to form around Kumoko.
"Th-this is..."
The energy stabilizing meant that Shiro had passed the most dangerous period.
"Is she evolving?" Ariel asked uncertainly.
However, Ariel's anxious heart eased slightly.
At this moment, in the Chat Group.
[Lumine: "Kumoko hasn't been active in the Group for a while."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Perhaps she's evolving after just swallowing the bomb, or she was directly blown to death! We're just waiting to go to her funeral."]
[Lumine: "..."]
Group Leader, you can talk, but please don't talk anymore.
