〖 In 27 minutes and 30 seconds, all power that you are able to move within this space shall be taken under my control, at which point you will turn into this 〗Negary waved his hand, displaying an image of a ball of red and flesh, the entity previously known as Santa Claus.
He was still within the zone of combat between Negary and the Armor so the space where his body resided was continuously being warped, but as a part of his characteristics as an anomaly, he wouldn’t die from that. In the end, he was turned into a living ball of Christmas flesh.
This Christmas ball of flesh was currently trapped inside a maze in another aspect of reality, created by Negary. He was still continuously using his ability to move away, but his every action was being observed by Negary, and the maze would continuously shift its position to contain him, ensuring that he would never be able to escape. Naturally, he would also be fully infected and analyzed by Negary in just a bit of time, increasing Negary’s rate of infection in this world to 0.37%.
〖 Naturally, that is only if there are no interlopers 〗Negary snapped his finger, forcing several figures out from the void of space.
Among them was a half-naked robust Mediterranean man who stood inside a cauldron of water while carrying a long-handled hammer in both hands. As he was pushed out from the void of space, the hammer in his hand immediately swung towards Negary while muttering ‘gotta get over it’ under his breath.
Negary turned his gaze a bit, causing the spatial coordinates of that side to shift and create a crack in space, the crack just happened to perfectly block the hammer.
However, to Negary’s surprise, the hammer hooked itself onto the spatial crack, which the bald robust man used as leverage to pull himself forward. Very unscientifically, his entire body including the cauldron took flight, once again swinging the hammer towards Negary.
B-3-23: The Hammer Man in the Cauldron. Professing himself as Bennett Foddy, the only thing he wished to do in this world was to overcome all tough trials. Other than ████ and other situations of the same nature, he could be said to be invincible, his body impervious to any damage, including a vacuum environment.
If not for this hammer not being too destructive, he wouldn’t have been placed at B-class. Before taking off, his hammer had been smothered in another anomaly: B-2-22 The Turd, which was related to [REDACTED], which allowed Bennett Foddy to have the means to damage Negary.
On the other side, a small person the size of a thumb was wielding a small handgun to continuously shoot at Negary, the bullets he shot were extremely small, but each one was capable of exterminating a part of Negary’s virus.
1-6: The ‘I wanna’ mini-man1. A literal tiny man with brown hair, 8 cm in size, wearing a blue jumpsuit and a red cape, as well as a red bow on top of his head most of the time. He also carried a handgun with infinite bullets, whenever his bullet hit a creature, there was a small chance of him immediately killing the target.
The I wanna mini-man had an extremely weak body, any attack or sharp object could kill him. At one point, even a cherry seed crushed him to death, he hated all stickers, sharp-looking calligraphy, and anything sharp in general.
However, the mini-man had a Save Point, which he could use to unceasingly revive himself.
With his infinite revival and his gun that had a chance of instant death that the mini-man proclaimed capable of killing any living body.
The final person was considerably more terrifying than the others, hovering in the air while wearing a luxurious robe over his slightly chubby body.
What truly terrified others regarding him was that his body seemed to be made of only bones. His skull locked inside a metal cage while his pair of boney hands were wearing rings of various shapes and sizes.
「 Golden, you shall become the most perfect specimen in my collection! 」the skeleton declared with a strange twisted voice and pulled its luxurious robe open, revealing that its chubby body underneath was actually a bunch of skulls stuffed into the inside of its robe.
As the skeleton lifted its robe, the skulls each released 7-8 shadows, all of which converged in mid-air to manifest their forms: human heads attached to a spine, seemingly barbarians of Southeast Asian descent.
6-2: The Collector. He was able to store any living beings he killed in the skulls inside of his robe, taking them into his collection. He could then control his collection to fight, and before his entire collection had been destroyed, his body could not be damaged.
The ‘collected items’ he summoned were also extremely tough to get rid of, not only did they have abnormal vitality, but they could also utilize some of their abilities while they were still alive, and no one knew for sure just how many of them the Collector had.
Lonely Armor, Bennett Foddy, the I wanna be mini-man, the Collector, and the Yin Teeth Girl; these were the anomalies conscripted by S-1-3 Unusual Assembling Order, as well as the Compelling Main Character Victor, whose [Protagonist Aura] was being used to control the flow of the situation by the team of writers in front of the computer.
〖 So this is the power of your retaliation? Quite decent indeed 〗Negary chuckled.
There weren’t actually many anomalies suitable for combat, most of them being strange and unusual more than anything else; even if they were combat-worthy, they might not necessarily be suitable to participate in this fight to subjugate Negary.
For example, C-3-56: The Painless Man. He was able to ignore all pain, meaning that not only would he not feel pain, he also had the disposition of being unable to sympathize with the pain of others. Such a person could harm both himself and others without hesitation, making him suitable for combat, but only for man-to-man combat.
Naturally, other than anomalies capable of direct combat, there were also anomalies with various side effects that could support and aid these direct combative anomalies and make them stronger.
“The Great Demon King subjugation has officially begun!” the mini-man excitedly called out and ran forward, aiming his gun at Negary, continuously shooting without leaving a gap, only to trip on a gap in the flooring and splattered into a pool of blood.
From a small dot in the air, the mini-man reappeared, jumped twice in mid-air to land on a corner and began shooting once again.
「 Become a part of my collection, become one with us all 」the Collector’s voice seemed to contain force, the 7-8 heads that he summoned began to fly around, howling and screeching towards Negary, their black teeth clanking and gnashing nonstop as if desiring nothing but to devour the flesh of the living to soothe their suffering.
Negary waved his hand, summoning flashes of light in mid-air, each flash of light manifested several golden tentacles that madly squirmed as they struck his opposition.
“Light Slash!” the Armor had also become 100% focused, the heavy claymore in his hand swinging with considerable force and unleashed bright sword slashes to cut the golden tentacles apart.
More and more golden particles filled their surroundings, until a point where the unusual assembled unit felt almost like they were standing in the belly of a beast itself. Everything around them was glittering golden flesh, limbs, and fog.
“Get over it, get over it, get over it!” Bennett Foddy wildly swung his hammer in a circle, shouting his seemingly magical chant as he did so.
On the other side, the Yin Teeth Girl had brought Victor to a corner. Watching him trying to turn his eyes away to avoid looking at her body while they crouched, the Yin Teeth Girl’s smile towards Victor held a bit more trust.
As a member of the unusual assembled unit, her combat capabilities against Negary was essentially zero, but the SCR Foundation naturally had their reason for including her during their conscription.
The Yin Teeth Girl slowly spread her legs…
