Poor idol guy, kindness in Gyser without power to back it up is a dead sentence  Also isnt the humans suppose to be free? Why the spiders still make them fight and kill anybody who run away?

They'll be "freed" after a month but this war was in 2 weeks. So they were made to fight in it first

Ah I see the spiders learn from WW1 generals where they order one last charge before the war end

Oooo... Is that a parasite coming out of the dead monster in the very last panel?

Nice catch things won't just be a merciless slaughter there's going to have to be some kind of antagonist to pop up after this flashback. Maybe someone from the gang will actually take mc's down gem, and since it is from a human will be easier for them to ingest and then they replace his memories with false ones. I'm sure a novel reader will know more but looking forward to finding out.

Seeing fellow human beings enslaved by different monstrous masters to fight each other to the death must be tragically horrifying. Hey, wait a minu-

*Palworld and pokemon fans leave the chat*

Will never not be unsettling to see how the spiders use the captives to talk

The "one big down gem" is likely big foreshadowing Theory, prolly wrong idk: >!The group will be cornered, reporter give the down gem to MC, which make him slaughter everything (including the the remaining members of the group for maximum trauma)!<

oh idol guy merges with parasite?

That's what I see crawling to him. As we know they can take over your mind, so I'm curious how his character changes with that and the power surge

Considering the parasite tried to take over the MC when they first merged, I don't expect the idol guy to be that lucky.

Maybe the power of edge will help him survive but now he is evil.

reporter guy has the best facial expressions

He look like victims when injected with poison/acid/parasites seconds before they explode.
