Chapter 81: No way, is Svarog really that fierce? How is this even playable!

~7 min read 1,391 words

Afterward, things began to unfold just as they had in the plot. Before long, Bronya intentionally chased after them into the Fissure Realm.

But not long after entering the Fissure Realm, she looked up and saw Sampo.

"Oh, you actually came!" March 7th stared at Sampo in shock.

Bronya also looked at Sampo in shock; among everyone present, only the Silvermane Guards were kept in the dark.

Seeing this scene, how could Sampo not understand what was happening?

"Yo, you're all players, huh!" He raised an eyebrow, and his next move was simple.

Afterward, Sampo's approach was straightforward; he simply threw a smoke bomb down, obscuring everyone's figures.

"Go!"

Sampo said quickly in a low voice.

"Right." The Astral Express crew quickly followed Sampo, and upon seeing this, Bronya hurriedly followed them.

As they ran, they quickly headed toward the Underworld.

After arriving in the Underworld, it didn't take long for the group to reach Natasha's clinic.

"Alright, we've arrived," Sampo said.

"Sampo?" Natasha was startled for a moment, then remembered, "Welcome, everyone."

Her tone was extremely calm, which made the group relax all at once. Very good, there were quite a few people playing the game in the Underworld as well.

"Miss Natasha?" March 7th asked, looking at her.

"Indeed, it is I. It seems the audience for that game is truly not limited to the Underworld, is it?" Natasha was also exceptionally surprised by this.

She hadn't expected everything to evolve to this point, and even less did she expect that things would actually happen just as they did in the game.

"I think its audience is likely much broader, and the scope of its influence is also much wider," Stelle thought for a moment, then stepped forward to say to Natasha.

"Seele has gone out and hasn't returned yet. You must be tired, right?" Natasha looked at them and suddenly said, "After chasing for so long—not just you, but this Silvermane Guard lady as well—why not rest for a while?"

"That won't be necessary; we are still quite clear-headed."

"Is that so? But Seele hasn't returned yet, and you all look quite exhausted. Since you can't sleep, why not rest for a while? I'll have Sampo go call Seele back." As Natasha spoke, she looked toward Sampo.

Sampo nodded immediately and said, "I understand."

Although he was unreliable, he wouldn't drop the ball at a critical moment.

So the three of them sat down. Bronya was a bit uncomfortable at first, but she soon relaxed. Natasha was indeed a very gentle person; she appropriately eased the other party's unease.

"How far have you progressed in the game? Why not continue the game's plot first? It's a good chance to see what we need to do next," Natasha said to them after thinking it over.

That was a good idea, so Bronya and the Astral Express crew took out their phones.

However, at this point, the Astral Express crew had actually pushed the plot of Jarilo-VI quite far, though Bronya had not.

"Actually, the subsequent plot should be finding medicine and steel plates, fighting Svarog, and then... that's about it, right?"

"That's right, the plot is basically like that."

Just as they were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and soon Seele's voice could be heard.

"You are Seele?" Bronya stood up.

She had a vivid memory of this person who had struck her awake with a single blow, but this was her first time meeting her.

"That's me. How about it, Miss Bronya, are you going to Rivet Town to confirm your identity?" As soon as Seele entered, she looked toward Bronya.

"... Why do I smell gunpowder?" March 7th couldn't help but whisper.

The scene before them was truly uncomfortable to witness, but since things were indeed like this, it made people feel quite worried.

"Hehe, I assume you've seen the plot and know Seele's personality. She is just that kind of person—tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She's not a bad person," Natasha stepped forward to say, and took the opportunity to say to Seele, "I think the most important thing right now is to negotiate with Svarog's side, and then we should move forward."

"... But that guy Svarog is too stubborn..." Seele felt helpless when she thought of Svarog.

"If it really doesn't work, can we only fight?" Bronya thought.

"As for that... I'm wondering if Clara is playing the game. If she is, she should understand something about this matter. I just don't know how far she has progressed in the plot," Natasha said, hesitating for a moment.

Considering the game's reach, Clara shouldn't be unaware of it, but who knew how far she had progressed?

Did she know what Jarilo-VI was about to face?

"Regardless, we have to go there to find out," Seele said very directly.

"By the way, where is Clara now? Does anyone know?"

As Bronya said this, she looked at Sampo, and the others also looked toward Sampo together.

Sampo was suddenly the center of attention. He couldn't help but be startled, then helplessly said, "As expected, at times like this, I, Sampo, have to step up!"

"That's right, we're counting on you. Quickly tell us Clara's whereabouts!" Natasha nodded and continued.

Sampo thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I think I do know, but there's no need to go over there, because..."

He pointed outside the door, "Clara is already here."

"Knock, knock!"

Along with his voice came the sound of knocking on the door.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Clara's slightly shy voice came from outside the door.

"It really is Clara's voice!"

"She actually found her way here on her own!"

"I told you, the coverage of this game is truly extensive!"

Everyone was surprised by the game's wide reach. Not long after, Natasha opened the door for Clara and welcomed her in.

"Sister Bronya, Sister Seele, and everyone... It seems everyone gathered here because of that game?" Clara was also very surprised to see the key figures gathered so excessively in the clinic.

"That's right, so if you've seen the plot, Clara, you must know our purpose in finding Svarog!" Seele got straight to the point.

"Mm, Clara has thought about it. Clara absolutely cannot sit by and watch everything happen, so Clara agrees to take everyone to talk to Mr. Svarog," Clara nodded, then continued to say to them.

"But Clara also has one thing to ask of everyone... If possible, could you please try not to fight Mr. Svarog?"

"Although Clara knows the outcome, but... Clara is still very worried about everyone, and also very worried about Mr. Svarog."

They all heard Clara's words, but no matter who it was, they felt the possibility of this was simply too small.

"As for that, I actually don't think it's very likely!" March 7th couldn't help but say.

"Mm, I think so too," Dan Heng also nodded.

No one thought that super-large robot Svarog would be willing to change his mind, but this matter was truly important to them, and no one was willing to let it drag on.

"... Alright," Clara said hesitantly, but still decided to help them.

There was no other way; just as the plot said, to resist the Architects, they couldn't rely on their strength alone.

Wildfire, Svarog—all usable forces had to be gathered to have a chance at success.

"Then, let's go now!"

So very soon, they really went directly to find Svarog, and this time, even Natasha and Sampo followed along.

When they arrived at Svarog's base, it was obvious that Svarog was busy with his own affairs.

"Mr. Svarog, I've brought everyone here to see you. They say they have something they want to talk to you about," Clara said to Svarog.

"Clara, why did you bring them here?" Svarog's voice was extremely cold, just like a machine's voice.

But no one expected that this matter could actually reach this point.

"Because Clara feels it would be better if Mr. Svarog discussed it with everyone," Clara said.

"I think there is no need to discuss this matter, because data does not lie," Svarog said.

"... If all you speak of is data, I think we need to discuss variables with you," Stelle thought for a moment and threw out the concept from the plot directly.
