The Chat Group revealed the identities of its members.
They are Uchiha Madara, the endlessly nested big boss in "The Legend of the Eyes: Five Villages Clash"; Kumoko, the non-human protagonist from "So I'm a Spider, So What?"; and Kikyo, the dog-loving miko who guards the jewel of four souls in the Inuyasha World.
Beryl immediately uploaded the death replay to the public screen.
She lightly coughed and typed a message into the Chat Group.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Welcome to the Chat Group. I am Beryl, the Group Leader of the Chat Group."]
[Uchiha Madara: "What is this Chat Group? Is it an illusion?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "All information regarding the Chat Group has been sent to your souls. You may review it at your leisure."]
After Beryl sent the message, the Chat Group's public screen fell silent for a moment.
Not long after, scrolling messages broke the silence.
[Kumoko: "Eh, a platform for communication across different dimensions, it looks really impressive... Can it help me? I might die very soon."]
[Kikyo: "What happened to you?"]
As the miko guarding the jewel of four souls, Kikyo had always suspected that this strange Chat Group was a trick of the jewel of four souls, yet she couldn't sense its presence.
What puzzled her most was that whenever her consciousness drifted away from the Chat Group, all she felt was a vast emptiness, as if everything around her, except for herself, was still.
Therefore, when Kumoko sent out what seemed like a distress signal, Kikyo couldn't help but test if it was a trick of the jewel of four souls.
[Kumoko: "It's this."]
[Kumoko: "After I woke up, I found myself in a strange world. Everything around me is so scary, and there are spiders eating their own kind."]
Kumoko used the Chat Group to capture a short video and sent it to the public screen.
In the video, countless Little Spiders gathered in groups of two or three, using their spider legs to pry open the shells of unhatched spider eggs, then eating both the shells and the spiders inside, making a "crunch, crunch" sound from time to time.
[Uchiha Madara: "Oh? Creatures from other worlds, I'm seeing something very interesting."]
After reviewing the Chat Group information, though he didn't fully believe it, Uchiha Madara generally understood its purpose. Upon seeing the video sent by Kumoko, he commented with great interest.
[Kumoko: "It's not interesting at all, hey! I just have a feeling things are going to get worse and worse."]
Kikyo: ["Is this a spider's nest? @Kumoko, did you turn into a spider?"]
Kikyo saw Kumoko's death replay. Although the video's perspective was a bit strange, it shouldn't have been from here.
So, Kumoko traveled to another place and turned into a spider.
From a miko's perspective, soul possession is not impossible.
[Kumoko: "Yes, I turned into a spider, even though I was human before."]
After saying that, Kumoko also sent everyone a panoramic selfie.
It was a creature different from ordinary spiders, more like some kind of monster.
[Kumoko: "@World's No. 1 Princess, is the Group Leader here? Can you save me? It's so scary, it's really scary here."]
As an ordinary student, why did she have to face something like this? Transmigration wasn't necessary at all.
See? That spider next to her just bit off another spider's head. Ugh! So scary.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "Unfortunately, I can't help you right now. I can only give you some advice: the place you are in is not Earth, but a world with magic and Skill systems."]
[Kumoko: "Eh? Not on Earth... I thought I had transmigrated to some deep mountain forest, turns out... But with system stats, it really doesn't seem like Earth. Wuwuwu, this is even scarier, isn't it?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Kumoko, the system can make you stronger. When your strength reaches a certain level, you can become human."]
[Kumoko: "Human! I can really turn back into a human?"]
Kumoko jumped up excitedly, waving her limbs. Heaven knew how desperate she had been after becoming a spider.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "It's true, but you must survive. If you die, then you won't be able to turn back into a human."]
[Kumoko: "I will try my best! Thank you, Group Leader! I am filled with power! To turn back into a human, awoooo!"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "...Good, good luck."]
In the God of Destruction Realm, Beryl wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. Is Kumoko really socially anxious? She's chatting quite happily in the group.
However, come to think of it, social anxiety was just something Kumoko perceived herself to have in her memories!
Beryl did not reveal too much information about Kumoko.
If she couldn't survive, saying anything would be useless. Beryl couldn't guarantee that if Kumoko died this time, she would be retrieved by the Chat Group.
Compared to Kumoko, Uchiha Madara and Kikyo in the group were much quieter.
Aside from understanding some initial information, they were both very cautious.
At this moment, a conversation popped up on the chat screen.
[Uchiha Madara: "Interesting, truly interesting. A platform connecting different worlds. I, Uchiha Madara, can dance once again."]
After a series of checks, Uchiha Madara confirmed that he was not under genjutsu, and he was already dead, his soul still in the Pure Land.
Therefore, this Chat Group was very likely an existence above the Sage of Six Paths.
"Hashirama, your magnanimity is still too narrow. After I achieve our dream, I, Uchiha Madara, will spread my name across all worlds beyond the Ninja World."
In the Pure Land, Uchiha Madara was filled with fighting spirit.
His gaze fell on the last option of the Chat Group.
"The Group Leader of the Chat Group must have special benefits. I, Uchiha Madara, do not wish to be controlled by others."
...In the God of Destruction Realm, Beryl was eating Spirit Tree fruit.
Suddenly, a look of surprise crossed her face.
"Uchiha Madara got carried away?"
The Chat Group sent her a message.
[Uchiha Madara has issued a challenge to you, wishing to defeat you and seize the position of Group Leader.]
[Ding! Due to a system error, a group member died after joining the group. A compensatory method is hereby provided."]
[The group members who entered the Chat Group this time have one chance to challenge the Group Leader. If the original Group Leader refuses, the Group Leader position will automatically transfer to the challenger.]
[Friendly Reminder: "Don't you feel ashamed sitting in the Group Leader's position if you don't even dare to accept a mere group member's challenge?"]
Beryl: "..."
Was she being scorned by the system?
[If Uchiha Madara's challenge is successful, he will automatically become the Group Leader, and the original Group Leader will be demoted to Group Administrator.]
Beryl sighed helplessly and casually clicked 'Agree'.
[Ding! Group Leader World's No. 1 Princess has accepted Uchiha Madara's challenge. The Group Leader Challenge Match will be broadcast live in its entirety to ensure the authenticity and completeness of the event.]
[Kumoko: "???"]
[Kikyo: "???"]
The pinned message flickering on the public screen left the two group members puzzled.
Beryl and Uchiha Madara were simultaneously pulled into the Arena.
Standing on a lush green planet, Beryl released her senses, gathering information from her surroundings.
An independent alternate dimension had created a planet, and everything on the planet seemed real.
"The Chat Group's abilities are even more terrifying than I imagined."
Feeling the substantiality of her body, Beryl was certain this was not her original body. This specially created physical body could almost unleash her full strength without reservation.
At this moment, a wild laugh caught Beryl's attention.
"Hahaha, hahahahaha... This body, this is what it feels like to be alive!"
Uchiha Madara bit his arm without hesitation, and scarlet blood immediately gushed from his arm, dripping "da da da" onto the ground.
Uchiha Madara laughed maniacally, his mouth full of the fresh blood from biting his arm, with a few drops of saliva-mixed blood occasionally trickling down the corners of his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Beryl was speechless, unable to help but inwardly grumble: "The leader of the Four Uchiha's Crazy Laughter, truly lives up to his name, acting like he has rabies."
