EP.933 Part 2 Chapter 8-18 What is a Cube?

<Scenario Clear!>

The message should have appeared.

The tattooist collapsed.

As a result, the Pine Tree Squad will all be freed from the tattooist’s control, and fortunately, they won’t die.

“The Cube’s influence has completely undone the control.”

When the tattooist became a Terralist through the Cube, the situation changed somewhat.

Originally, if the tattooist had died, everyone marked with her tattoos would have suffered an explosive death.

However, when the tattooist merged with the Cube and connected to the polluted magic of another world, the magic that made up her being also became polluted, preventing her from exerting influence outside herself.

Thus, the Light Blade was also liberated.

All members of the Pine Tree Squad were freed.

They may not realize it right away, but the sharp ones will notice the disappearance of the tattoos around their necks while heading to take a shower.

Story-wise, these individuals will assume the role of villains in the mid-game.

The tattooist served as a kind of inhibitor, and once freed from the constraints of the tattoos, the villains began committing various crimes across the Korean Peninsula.

“One might call it a side quest.”

I know I’ll have to deal with them directly, which is annoying for main gameplay, but during the final battle, when Terralists appear on Earth, they are among those who become contaminated, so caution is necessary.

“My goal now isn’t to save the Earthlings in the game, so it doesn’t matter.”

My objective is to romance heroines.

If capturing villains could build rapport and allow me to date heroines, I’d capture every villain on Earth, but unfortunately, that’s not the case.

“My purpose is the Cube.”

Goooh.

The hexahedral Cube approached and gently rested on my outstretched hands.

The spirit within the Cube seemed to recognize me as its master, as the surface began to boil upon touching my hand.

“Boss!”

“I’m fine. It’s just changing form.”

The Cube acknowledged me as its master.

If I don’t initiate a “deal” with the Cube, it might either cause me to go berserk again or reverse any gains obtained through its use, but since I intend to engage in mandatory female-only play scenarios involving Penril anal sex with Hikari, it doesn’t matter.

<Cube Activation Confirmation?>

The system finally revealed itself.

Since this is a multi-playthrough run, using the Cube isn’t particularly useful, but it’s still an effective “cheat key.”

In-game functions of the Cube include…

– Forced Attribute Unlock: Forces the target to unlock a designated magical attribute.


– Increased Magic Supply Limit: Raises the level of magic supply granted to the target by one.


– Increased Core Drop Rate: Grants an additional core at a certain probability.


– Forced Support Connection: Forces two heroines into a 3P scenario.


– Jujicustom: Increases penis size by 1.8cm.


– TS Syndrome: Changes gender permanently until the next Cube use.


– Futanari: Equips a penis (O/F).


– Sensory Sharing: Allows the player to feel what the heroine feels (O/F).

…and more.

The Cube’s functions are truly diverse, ranging from manipulating the abilities of special powers users to adult content-related abilities fitting of an 18+ visual novel.

Especially regarding sexual abilities, options range from permanent application to ON/OFF toggle, making it highly sought after by many players.

A Cube that can blow up half the Korean Peninsula with a nuclear-grade ability or provide 20 billion in funds can also increase the player’s penis size by 1.8cm.

If all 27 Cubes were used solely to increase penis size…

“That would make you Rasputin.”

Collect all 27 Cubes and you can become a Rasputin-level entity like Sun Icheol.

That’s the Cube.

What the senior officers coveted, the Heart of the Otherworldly God, is actually the Cube.

And collecting all the Cubes…

“Boss?”

“Yuna, do you feel anything looking at this?”

“Hmm… Can I be honest?”

“Yeah.”

“It seems like it could be used as a mood light when supplying magic.”

Pssshhh.

The Cube began spinning, emitting a soft orange glow.

It appears the Cube agrees with Yuna’s suggestion, resembling the lighting of a love hotel or motel room.

Seriously.

The Cube is a living personality in itself.

Being 1/27th of an Otherworldly God, it assists commanders in matters related to human destruction and sex.

Of course, power comes with a price.

It might be minor, but the cost associated with utilizing the Cube varies widely.

“Now, using this, I can make you stronger.”

“Boss, isn’t this super dangerous?”

“You’re right. Look what happened to the tattooist…”

“That’s because she didn’t know how to use it. As your commander, I can use it appropriately. There’s a way to balance the entropy of power usage. For example…”

I aimed the Cube at Kim Nori.

“Nuri, do you want to reach S Rank?”

“…I want to, but I don’t want to end up like that earlier.”

Kim Nori pointed at the remains of the tattooist.

The area near where the Cube emerged from the concrete was soaked in black ink—likely the tattooist’s blood—causing the concrete to corrode.

“Since the commander said it, I trust you, but you’re not going to turn me into something like that, right?”

“Of course not. In fact, I can transform you into a 169cm D-cup beauty.”

I handed the Cube to Kim Nori.

“Accept it, Kim Nori. Gain the perfect figure. You shall truly become S Rank.”

“…Then, big brother, what’s the cost?”

“……”

Kim Nori’s enhancement through the Cube.

The cost is…

Kuuguu…!!

A massive vibration echoed from above before I could say anything, putting everyone on edge.

“What was that?!”

“They’re fighting with the Light Blade. Ms. Hikari, is there an external camera available?”

“Yes, yes, there’s one up here.”

We returned to Hikari’s lab and watched the battle on the giant display.

“That’s the combat of S Rank.”

We decided to casually observe the battle between the three officers and the Light Blade user, Heo Yun-hwa.

“Ms. Hikari, can we record this?”

“Eh, yes!”

“Then please record this.”

Data from the Light Blade’s battle.

There will definitely be a use for it later.

“We’ve recovered the Cube, and now all we can do is hope the officers escape the Light Blade’s attack.”

Will they be able to escape against the Light Blade’s assault?

Simple.

“Escape before using the ultimate move.”

Escape before the Light Blade uses its ultimate technique.

I clapped my hands at the right moment.

* * *

Kaang, Kaang!

The metallic clash resounded.

Magic colliding with magic, yet the clash of swords hit the eardrums just as strongly.

And the speed was incredibly fast, like a broken electric drill pounding against the ears.

Kaang, Kaang, Kaang!!

How many times do they clash in a second?

Ordinary Ui couldn’t possibly discern their clashes.

All he could see were rough mint-colored trajectories and straight gold and white paths.

If the mint trajectory was wind itself, the gold and white trajectories were as linear as ice crystals.

Kaang!

A loud sound rang out as the wind rolled along the ground and landed.

Spreading legs left and right, digging claws into the ground to stabilize, Penril Mask was entirely feline.

“Huff, strong, nya.”

Penril Mask slowly glared at the landing girl and swallowed saliva.

“As expected, an SS Rank Hero. The reputation is no lie, nya.”

“……Shut up.”

The unmistakably female voice threw Ui into confusion.

The girl’s fighting style and abilities were identical to a hero he knew.

No, exactly the same.

Light Blade.

He realized he had uncovered the Light Blade’s secret.

The truth that Light Blade was actually a girl!

“Nyahah, pretending to be an uncle all this time was just a disguise, nya.”

“There’s no way.”

“Then what, nya? An uncle with a beard transforming into a magical girl? That’d be disappointing.”

“…Looks like you need to die to come to your senses.”

Light Blade lightly stepped on the ground.

Then sparks flew in front of Penril Mask’s face, causing her to cross her arms in an X.

“Ugh?!”

Light Blade’s dual blades swung downward, pinning Penril Mask from above.

Penril Mask tried to create distance by extending her legs backward, but Light Blade quickly landed and charged forward.

Slashing, stabbing, slashing again—the attacks were lightning-fast.

Even Penril Mask’s full-speed retreat was pursued physically by Light Blade, who was incredibly swift.

At this rate, Penril Mask’s head would be severed…

Suddenly.

Pajijik!!

“Grk?!”

Something sparkled around Light Blade’s neck.

Penril Mask smirked, seizing the opportunity.

“Mint Chocolate Kick!”

The wind-packed roundhouse kick from Penril Mask forced Light Blade to step back with crossed swords.

Gooohh!!!

A massive mint-colored blade of wind spread to Light Blade’s left and right.

Penril Mask jumped back further, pressing the damaged mask with her hand.

“Haha, as expected. Just like the captain said, nya. You’re free now, nya.”

“…What do you mean?”

“The nation’s shackles around your neck have been released, nya. From here on, handle things yourself.”

Pssaak.

A hole formed in the ground.

Penril Mask leaped down, and Light Blade hurriedly followed.

However.

“Receive this, nya! Mint Storm!”

Gooohooo!!!

An overwhelmingly different, even threatening whirlwind rose high into the night sky and disappeared.

“……Hmph.”

Light Blade instinctively realized.

The surrounding magic vanished in an instant.

“…….”

And he turned his head.

Currently, the only survivor nearby.

“Ah, aaa…!”

Ui, alone.

Light Blade quietly raised the dual blades.

* * *

“With Hydra’s power, moving underground. Penril possessed Raon, and Azidahaka disrupted the villains around us. It was a perfect escape.”

“Huff….”

We slipped away to a deserted place.

Though it might be difficult to return to New Seoul for a while, now that the Cube’s functions are fully activated, we can retreat to a safe space to store our strength.

“There will soon be turbulent times ahead. Many villains harbor significant resentment towards Sun Icheol.”

“Do you think they’ll expose him?”

“Yeah.”

The beginning of Sun Icheol’s downfall.

And the arrival of new heroines.

This summer, after defeating the three officers and meeting them again.

“We should prepare ourselves soon.”

Gradually increasing to S Rank while actively utilizing the Cube’s power.

“So, big brother, what’s my cost?”

“It’s nothing major.”

Really, it’s nothing major.

“Having secret sex in your room while your parents sleep in your house.”

“Ooooh….”

“Or secretly having sex in the women’s restroom during a school reunion while feeling jealous?”

“Okay.”

“Or getting inside a special glass container and having public sex on the street? Of course, it won’t be visible from outside.”

“Ohho….”

“Or drawing a micro-bikini with black paint and walking along the beach before having sex?”

“…These are all quite extreme.”

Etc.

“Is it really necessary to do such things to use the Cube?”

“Of course. The keyword for using the Cube is this.”

I stroked the Cube and asked.

“Heterosexual desire.”

Smile.

The Otherworldly God is smiling.

“The Cube says, after making you S Rank, it wants to take you somewhere for sex.”

“Where?”

“Your classroom from last year’s graduation, your seat. It wants you to put it on top of your desk and have sex there.”

Nuri’s face immediately flushed red.
