Cute Bug Overlord, Joins the Chat Group!

A light screen appeared before her.

[Pulling group members... Pull successful!]

A new avatar slowly appeared in the group chat.

It was the avatar of a silver-haired girl.

Her group ID was—[Greenhorn Fighter Ta Rua]

Immortal Black Snake

Amid the icy, snow-covered Ursus Tundra.

The girl set down her axe and wiped the slight sweat from her forehead.

"Phew, today's firewood is chopped too."

Looking at the results of an hour of labor, she felt a sense of pride.

Unlike her pampered life in the duke's estate, the feeling of working with her own hands and reaping the rewards herself—was good.

This way—

She could also remind herself at all times that she would not become that snake.

[Joining the Dimensional Chat Group... Join successful!]

Then, a strange light-screen panel suddenly appeared before her.

"?"

The girl blinked.

The light screen did not disappear.

Silence filled the air at that moment.

"Koschei, are you playing one of your boring mental tricks again?"

After a moment, she muttered to herself.

"Heh heh."

A soft chuckle surfaced in her mind.

"Talulah, it seems your malice toward me has reached the point where you would slander me without cause?"

The elegant yet chilling voice replied.

"..."

Talulah did not answer.

She merely cast an inconspicuous glance at the strange light-screen panel before her.

Dimensional Chat Group—what was that?

It did not seem to be one of Koschei's mental tricks.

The snake's arrogance meant he would not lie.

Besides, thanks to her long struggle against the snake, she had learned how to construct a mental barrier that prevented her thoughts from being observed.

"My malice toward you has no limits, Koschei."

The girl plunged her axe into the stump before her and spoke coldly.

"Talulah, your malice toward me is unnecessary. This land's malice toward living beings far exceeds anything you can imagine."

"If you had witnessed that endless purple tide with your own eyes, you would understand that only a unified Ursus Empire could protect this land amid such calamity."

The chilling voice spoke elegantly and slowly.

"Heh."

Talulah neither agreed nor disagreed.

She had never seen anything Koschei spoke of with her own eyes, and she would not believe it.

She would never become that snake.

An unquenchable flame burned in the fighter's eyes.

At the same time, the [Dimensional Chat Group] stirred.

[Ultimate Invincible Super F***ing Cute Paramecium!: Huh, the group has another newcomer? Welcome to the group! I'm Kiana Kaslana, the second member of this group!]

[Ultimate Invincible Super F***ing Cute Paramecium!: If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me!]

Talulah glanced at the avatar belonging to that ID—

That smile possessed a beauty untouched by knowledge.

[Happy Little Orca: Welcome, newcomer. I'm Skadi.]

The avatar called Happy Little Orca looked calm and rational.

Though its owner seemed rather aloof.

[Super Happy Zerg: Zerg wants food!]

The last avatar to appear... looked rather young, as though it belonged to someone underage.

[Greenhorn Fighter Ta Rua: Hello, everyone. I'm the newcomer, Talulah. It's nice to meet you all.]

Talulah instinctively learned how to send messages.

Wanting to leave everyone with a good impression, she phrased her words very politely.

There was just one problem—

What kind of name was Ta Rua?

She could accept Greenhorn Fighter.

She admitted that she was not yet a mature fighter, and that she was still feeling her way along her path of struggle.

But she could not accept Ta Rua!

If Alina found out, she would definitely laugh at her!

And everyone in the village would start calling her that afterward!

Talulah could barely take it.

[Greenhorn Fighter Ta Rua: @Ultimate Invincible Super F***ing Cute Paramecium!, how do I change my name?]

Honestly, was this person called Kiana Kaslana... a little narcissistic?

The girl stared at the ID she had tagged.

She did not have the nerve to call herself something like that.

Besides, if she remembered correctly... paramecia were some kind of single-celled organism, weren't they?

Why would someone choose an ID like that?

[Ultimate Invincible Super F***ing Cute Paramecium!: ...I don't know.]

[Ultimate Invincible Super F***ing Cute Paramecium!: I think the Paramecium in my name is unnecessary, but I can't change it.]

[Ultimate Invincible Super F***ing Cute Paramecium!: But it seems to change under certain circumstances.]

[Ultimate Invincible Super F***ing Cute Paramecium!: Once, when I was extremely angry, I saw my name turn into Furious Queen.]

[Ultimate Invincible Super F***ing Cute Paramecium!: If I could change it, I'd want to change Paramecium into Beautiful Girl.]

"..."

Talulah blinked.

Confirmed. This girl called Paramecium was extremely narcissistic.

[Ultimate Invincible Super F***ing Cute Paramecium!: All right, enough talking. I still have class! Damn it, why does that Raiden Mei have to go to the same school as me?!]

She was actually still a student?

Did she live in some mobile city?

Talulah could not help but wonder.

[Super Happy Zerg: Zerg is hungry, Zerg wants food!]

[Greenhorn Fighter Ta Rua: @Super Happy Zerg, I have some food here, but do you know how to send it over?]

[Happy Little Orca: Talulah, you don't need to ask Zerg.]

[Happy Little Orca: He doesn't understand anything.]

[Happy Little Orca: Also, this group chat currently does not seem capable of transferring things.]

[Happy Little Orca: Besides, the amount of food Zerg needs... may be rather large.]

[Super Happy Zerg: There's food! Zerg wants it!]

Before Talulah could think over Happy Little Orca's words, another light screen suddenly appeared before her—

[Super Cute Zerg cannot absorb enough energy. Would you like to invite him over and feed this poor child?]

"..."

The girl fell into thought.

Should she invite this person called Zerg over?

Talulah's eyes narrowed slightly.

She had once been raised as Koschei's heir, so she was no overly naive young lady.

"My dear Talulah, it seems you have worked too hard today. To think you would space out for so long, something so rare." The chilling voice lingered like a ghost. "Is something troubling my dear Talulah? If you do not understand, why not seek the wisdom of the snake?"

"Koschei, I won't trouble you to guide me."

If she listened to Koschei, the final result would be becoming the [Immortal Black Snake].

Talulah would rather burn herself out and become ashes upon this land than become an evil god that lived forever.

The fighter-like girl made up her mind.

The Immortal Black Snake did not seem to have noticed the so-called [Dimensional Chat Group], which meant—

This was something beyond the snake's control and knowledge.

Perhaps she could find a way through it to escape the snake... or even kill it.

And the first step was to invite the being called Zerg over.

As her decision solidified, the light screen before her dimmed.

Immediately afterward—

Space began to ripple faintly.

In the end, a deep-blue portal unfolded before her.

A small figure ran out from within.

"Zerg wants food! Zerg will do anything!"

The tiny Cute Bug Overlord directly expressed his wish.

"..."

Talulah lowered her head and looked at the person before her.

Cute, innocent, flawless...

Like someone who should not exist upon the land of Terra.

Because he was utterly out of place in that unfair world.

Especially those pitiful eyes, like a young beast begging for food.

Following his previous successful experience, Zerg attempted to obtain food.

The extracted Biomass had drained his energy reserves dry.
