Among the group, Ruan i was naturally the one most familiar with the layout of the sealed incubation sector— after all, she was the one who had engineered the Star-Devouring Swarm-King Skaracabaz.
Even Estelle couldn’t compare.
The five of them walked in a line.
And of all of them, Topaz was the most miserable inside.
Ever since learning they intended to create a Breeding Emanator, she had lost all sense of safety.
Only when they ran into those adorable cat-cakes earlier did she relax for a brief mont.
But the deeper they went, the more dread pooled in her heart.
Estelle, on the other hand, wasn’t nearly as nervous.
Yes, she knew how terrifying the Swarm once was.
But this ti they had three geniuses at the helm.
They were indeed creating sothing dangerous— but the creators themselves were... reassuring.
Especially Su Ran.
She had already fully acknowledged his terrifying creative ability as sothing even Herta couldn’t surpass.
Her goddess filter toward Herta had shattered the mont she saw Herta clinging to Su Ran’s leg begging to be taught.
Was there anyone in the universe—besides perhaps the Aeons— who could surpass Su Ran?
Estelle doubted it.
Before long, they arrived at the site of Skaracabaz’s incubation chamber.
The ruined tank still oozed strange fluids.
Topaz’s anxiety imdiately spiked.
"Hoh? Not bad at all.
Soft Girl, I’ll admit—you do have talent.
This replica might not reach true Emanator level, but it’s pretty damn close."
Su Ran analyzed a sample of the fluid, and visibly brightened.
Based on his simulation, the creature’s potential far exceeded his expectations.
No wonder it was called a Star-Crushing Swarm-King— it genuinely had the power to destroy planets.
Of course, because it was only a replica, its numbers were severely degraded:
stability, strength, lifespan—everything was low.
But for soone who wasn’t even an Emanator, Ruan i’s results were extrely impressive.
"Really?"
For the first ti, Ruan i’s usually calm eyes showed a flicker of emotion.
Being bashed nonstop by Su Ran until now, his sudden praise caught her completely off guard.
Was he... setting her up for another roast?
"But the flaws are everywhere.
If I rebuild it using your data and modify it according to my own frawork... Honestly, the amount of modification needed is basically equivalent to reconstructing it from scratch."
The praise evaporated instantly.
Ruan i’s expression froze.
Topaz didn’t have ti to laugh.
A sudden wave of dread washed over her.
Sothing was wrong.
She slowly looked upward— and her blood nearly froze.
A massive bug hovered high above them, its wings buzzing as it prepared to dive.
A direct kamikaze strike.
Herta snapped her attention upward too.
The giant swarm-beast plumted like a teor.
Estelle imdiately backed away in fear—
But just as the creature neared them...
It exploded like fireworks.
Instant burst.
Gone.
"..."
Ruan i stared blankly at the drifting remains.
"...Five seconds?
Impossible."
It had originally been able to survive fifty-six.
How could it drop to only five?
Su Ran crouched and touched the liquid residue.
"Just slightly modifying its paraters already affects its existence ti.
After all, the entire Swarm content in the Simulated Universe— I’m the one who added it.
It’s possible I understand breeding better than you do."
He ran his sticky, bug-fluid-covered fingers across the face of Ruan i’s puppet.
"Hey! That’s my puppet!" Herta barked, hands on hips.
"If you want to do weird things, don’t do them in public!"
"Stop fooling around!
Make the Breeding Emanator—now! Imdiately!"
She was furious.
That replica had only lasted five seconds!
Her excitent hadn’t even had ti to warm up.
And now these two were flirting?
She wanted blood, not banter!
"No rush.
Step by step."
Su Ran collected more samples.
Ruan i had left plenty of machinery behind in this chamber during her original experints.
Perfect for what he needed.
"Um... may I record this?"
Topaz finally squeezed out her request.
Whether Su Ran agreed or not, she had to report this to the IPC.
"Of course you can.
But you’re not allowed to record the internal paraters.
Those are my personal patents.
Ranking Queen— rember to upload it later and buy a top trending slot."
Su Ran waved casually.
"...Why are you calling sothing weird like Ranking Queen?"
Topaz felt a deep, inexplicable malice emanating from the nickna.
"But you’re seriously fine with recording all this?"
This was practically evidence of a cosmic cri!
The Swarm had once devastated countless civilizations.
Its plague had spread across entire galaxies.
Just hearing "Breeding" was enough to make most intelligent races tremble.
And he wanted... to go viral?
To trend?
"If the whole universe learns that I can create a Breeding Emanator, won’t I beco super famous?
I like being in the spotlight.
Becoming well-known sounds great."
...That was it?
Topaz stared at him in disbelief.
She’d expected a refusal.
Not... this.
"Don’t forget—buy a ranking slot!"
Su Ran reminded again cheerfully.
Topaz’s inner thoughts:
Buy your damn ranking my ass!!!
