First, let's make a deal.

Adapter, you did well to supress Cthulhu.

But… It would seem that the seal of Azathoth has faded.

우보 사틀라

Why you!

You have guts showing your face around here.

You've got courage.

I'll make sure none of it remains!

크툴루

This Cthulhu is also unexpected.

The seal of Azathoth does not get undone easily, even so, it was undone by pure chance.

하스터

Give it up already, Ubbo-Sathla.

Even if you completely erase her existance, it's not gonna stop Azathoth.

Although it's existance...

Its an abomination, we know too little about the C Virus, even our combined knowledge isn't enough to properly study it.

What we need now is strength

The motivation and creed is not a problem.

Lord Hastur! My apologies!

……………

(This guy… I'll defenitely kill you when this is all resolved.)

What's gotten you so angry?

The purpose of this Cthulhu was to capture Azathoth and collect data, the purpose of the Adapters is to control and subdue Azathoth

Are there any common interests?

You're so stupid that you aren't even aware of that?

Now I have to teach fools too?

Azathoth is very unstable due to repeatedly Awakening and degenerating.

It's progressing steadily

Definitely heading towards full Awakening. And if that is the case, the whole of ALICE will be smothered with the C Virus. We cannot shut it down anymore.

There are no exceptions.

Wether it's AI or Avatars. All existence within ALICE will end up becoming erratic and void of any intelligence or intention.

Cthulhu does not want any of it.

Everything will degrade to nothing but a boring landscape.

That being said...

The measures of obtaining it all are quite simple. We'll just have to bide our time. Everything will naturally stabilize over time.

This Adapter will become the Key

The reason why Azathoth is interested in the Adapters, I do not yet know.

Exposure to Azathoth.

Playing with Azathoth will gradually stabilize the power that is constantly released from her.

And about the others…

Well, they should suffice as shield for the Adapter.

Azathoth Supression Operation

This looks like it could be a fun little experiment.

르뤼에

You done talking?

I've rounded up all the C Virus victims for the time being.

Everyone is going to participate

This pure speculation, but, it would seem that nobody wants this world to collapse.

Well, that's not the only reason

It looks like you are loved, Adapter.

Me too…

Never mind, it's nothing.
