What do you mean I have to fight Ultraman Tiga?

"You should be in charge of this matter. After all, you are the game designer, and I am only responsible for the program operation. I don't know how to handle these things."

"This is terrible. The outsiders seem to be more powerful than we thought, and the weapons they've shown aren't part of our art department's responsibilities. It seems like someone else is interfering with our work?"

"I don't know, meow, I'm just in charge of the background music, meow~"

"If those outsiders ruin the game's storyline, then the game will be completely ruined. Everyone should take this seriously and think about what to do."

Somewhere, a part of the creative force behind the game NieR: Automata is having a conversation.

Planning, programming, art, sound effects, quality control.

Just as the beings were at a loss, another being arrived and extended an invitation to them.

"Gentlemen, are you also troubled by interference with your work? I'm Penworm, here to help you."

"Penworm? That doesn't sound like a good name. What are you planning to do?"

"Don't worry about the details, I'm here to reveal the truth about this world to you."

"The truth? What truth can there be in this world?"

“Of course there is a truth, it’s just that none of you thought of it before… Did you think you created NieR? Yes, but no.” The Penbug’s voice was cold and mechanical. “I call myself a Penbug, but I am not an individual. There are countless Penbugs behind me. They are just like you. They originally thought they were the creators of a world, but after the intervention of outsiders, the truth came to light—we are just a part of the thoughts mixed in by the real ‘author’ when creating this world in a work.”

"Yes, thoughts, or rather, the managers of the original story of this world. Just like you, you are responsible for managing the original plot of the work 'NieR' to prevent things from happening outside the script, because you need to ensure the rationality of the plot, otherwise the logic of the plot will collapse and distort the ideas that the author originally wanted to express."

"So, what does all that you've said have to do with us?"

“Of course it’s related.” Penbug extended his hand to the NieR development team, extending an invitation. “I want to invite you to become Penbugs, to join us in finding ways to resist outsiders from altering the story, and even to try to travel to the world of the true creators of this world, to witness how these great works are loved by more people.”

"Do you really want to see this game changed by those outsiders?"

"Understood, we agree, we will join you and become pen bugs... So, what are we to do?"

"It's simple, just increase the difficulty of the game and make sure the invaders are defeated?"

"It's that simple?"

"Of course not. Adding the difficulty is to lure out the real threat... I will personally take care of him."

The pen-worm's voice even carried a hint of annoyance when it mentioned the real threat.

“I’ve prepared a big gift for him, and I hope he’ll like it… a script that I’ve carefully crafted for him.”

"Understood. We will adjust the difficulty of this game and launch an attack on outsiders... Although this will ruin the game, it doesn't matter, we can just use a new save file."

So the NieR: Automata development team began to change the world's parameters and launched an attack on the GUTS team and the androids.

With the addition of the GUTS team, the giant mechanical weapons on Earth were quickly defeated.

The two Victory Swallow EX aircraft were also preparing to return to outer space to report back.

On the ground, the situation with 9S has also improved.

Because Karen and Nori successfully established a firewall and eliminated the logic virus in the android system.

Therefore, while 2B and 9S are now severely damaged, they can still safely upload data.

It can also communicate with bunkers in outer space.

Therefore, during this process, Commander White also informed the two of the situation regarding the Victory Team.

After all, 9S and 2B were originally important elements of the YoRHa Project, and in the process, 9S even discovered the truth that humanity had become extinct.

So, the two of them soon learned that the people who came to support the ground were actually humans from another world.

"2B, I hacked into the bunker's database and found that these are indeed humans. The commander didn't lie to us!"

"Alright, stop talking and rest for a while. The resistance will be here to pick us up soon."

After completing their ground battles, the GUTS team began a cruise around the Earth to see if there were any other massive weapons they had overlooked.

On the ground, the defector known as A2 was observing everything from the shadows.

He just smacked his lips, it's hard to tell whether he was regretting it or happy that 9S didn't die.

Anyway, she turned around, ready to leave...

But in an instant, A2 turned his head, his face filled with wariness and hostility, and almost subconsciously, a long knife appeared in A2's hand.

Because A2 sensed that something with murderous intent was approaching.

Not far away on the ground, 2B and 9S helped each other up, preparing to get up and go to a safe place, while the nearby resistance fighters were also looking for them.

However, just as the two got up, something unusual happened beside them.

Those mechanical lifeforms that had been defeated had, in a defying scientific way, reassembled themselves and stood up again.

One after another, mechanical lifeforms, their eyes glowing red, kept chanting "Destruction, destruction!"

Faced with this sudden situation, 2B and 9S immediately prepared for battle... even though their mobile suits could no longer support them in continuing the fight.

"What's going on? Wasn't the logic virus already eliminated?"

"Damn it, POD! Prepare for battle!"

"Understood." The two accompanying PODs had already begun preparing to fire light blasts to repel these resurrected mechanical lifeforms... no, it was hard to say whether these were even mechanical lifeforms anymore.

But two PODs are no match for so many suddenly resurrected enemies.

During the melee, the two PODs were slapped aside by the enemy and will be unable to continue operating for a while.

Just then, a figure with long white hair rushed out.

That was A2. In just a few moves, she killed the mechanical life form in front of her.

“It’s you!” 9S exclaimed immediately.

Previously, 2B and 9S had a brief encounter with A2 in the forest, only to later learn that he was a defector.

"You two should behave yourselves. You've survived this ordeal, don't lose your lives now."

A2 shook the oil off the blade, then walked slowly into the swarm of mechanical lifeforms without looking back.

"Don't just stand there, wake up your PODs and let them assist me in the battle."

Chapter 190 "I've let go!"

Inside the bunker base, Ye Rui suddenly leaned back in his chair and began swinging his arms.

"Phew, I finally managed to eliminate the logic virus. My fingers are numb from typing."

"It's alright, this virus is pretty ordinary."

Karen appeared beside Nori, then slumped onto the table, staring blankly at Nori.

"Thank you so much, Karen. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to eliminate the Logic Virus so quickly!"

Nori began to praise Karen without reservation.

"Well, it's all thanks to your help, Nori, and the other team members. They stopped those giant weapons on Earth."

The two were chatting idly, but something seemed to be flashing on the computer screen.

Commander White also came to Ye Rui's side and suddenly spoke.

"Excuse me, I have a question. Could you please answer it for me?"

"Huh? Go ahead and answer me, if I can."

Ye Rui looked at White with curiosity, waiting for Commander White's question.

“You are from another world, and according to you, you will leave this world to find your companions, so you should have your own mission... So why are you helping us? It seems you won't gain anything from it.”

"Well..."

Ye Rui immediately sat up straight, his expression turning serious.

He immediately tried to answer, but seemed unable to think of a way to respond.

He thought to himself, if Daigo or Rena were here, they would definitely be able to answer this question.

So why did the GUTS suddenly help the YoRHa unit, and why did they help the androids?

The GUTS team is just passing through this world, only to find Ryou and help the YoRHa unit. Getting involved in the conflicts of this world would only waste a lot of their time.

As outsiders from another world, the victorious team rashly intervenes in the conflicts of this world.

Isn't this just meddling too much?

So, let's go back to the original question.

Why would the GUTS team risk their lives to travel across the universe to another world in search of Ryouki?

Why did the Chief of Staff, Ms. Hui, allow Li Xiang to rush into the black hole alone?

Why did Li Xiang enter the black hole and travel to other parallel universes?

Are all of these just meddling in other people's business?

"Actually... I don't know why we made this decision either."

Ye Rui thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a specific reason.

"Perhaps... it's because we're on the GUTS team! What other reason could there be for wanting to help others?"

White and Karen both stared at Wilde.

It's strange that such thoughts still exist in this world.

Karen simply smiled, because this was the Nori she knew.

Just then, red text popped up on the computer screen in front of Ye Rui.

The three of them were immediately drawn to the text on the computer screen.

"This is..." Ye Rui looked at the text appearing on the computer screen and immediately tried to contact the other members of the Victory Team via the communicator, but the communicator seemed to be unusable.

The text on the computer screen is...

【Hello, this is the GUTS team from the new universe.】

【I am... no, we are pen bugs.】

"Penworm, what do you want to do?"

Because of your arrival, the script of this world has been disrupted, so I want to play a game with you.
