Chapter 33

33-1
Kumoko awakens to a pounding headache being caused by the influx of information from [Taboo] reaching Level 10. The sheer volume of information was too much to handle so Kumoko has allocated Information Brain to processing all the data, but from the processed fragments she has so far processed, the world she is on has fallen into ruin. Kumoko is so angry with D|Administrator D for reincarnating her on such a world she has acquired the [Wrath] skill.

Contemplating how to prevent the world’s collapse, Information Brain considers her options, casually suggesting slaughtering loads of humans and demons, much to the horror of the other parallel minds. Reviewing what she has learned she decides she needs to get stronger as Earth Dragon Araba and Mother are not the strongest beings around, such as D and the man in black, who she now knows is called Administrator Güliedistodiez.

Thinking things over, she realises she is too weak at the moment but if she keeps defeating enemies and getting stronger then maybe she can do something to prevent the world’s collapse. And in doing turning the borrowed power of skills from The System into real power, focusing first on the Earth Dragon and then an Administrator. And if that is not enough to stop the world’s collapse, if she becomes powerful enough, she can escape the world itself.

Kumoko has also noticed that she is being manipulated by her Mother via some form of skill that is connecting their souls. Kumoko noticed due to her being influenced during the fight with Fire Dragon Rend. Using that soul connection, Kumoko sends her parallel minds to fight Mother while Information Brain remains in the main body.

Deciding to work off some stress, Kumoko decides to go hunting and teleports down to the Lower Stratum, and comes face to face with Earth Dragon Kagna.

33-2
Kumoko appraises Earth Dragon Kagna’s and realises he is orientated for defence to the point dealing any damage would be extremely difficult. But because he is overspecialised, Kagna is very slow an easily dodged. Suddenly Earth Dragon Gehre attacks from behind and forces Kumoko completely onto the defensive. Kumoko desperately dodges until she can teleport away.

Back home, Kumoko reviews the situation, noting that Gehre’s defence was low due to the specialisation in speed so one on one she could potentially take out both Gehre and Kagna, but not if they are together. Deciding she might be able to tackle Earth Dragon Araba, Kumoko heads off to confirm his statistics. Teleporting to the pit, Kumoko spots an Elroe Baraggish and upon seeing its statistics, decides it is way more powerful than either Gehre and Kagna.
