“Okay, we have reached our challenge target. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to be attempting a perfect run, meaning clearing all objectives while capturing all of the soldiers in my section without killing any of them, collecting all of their information, gathering all of the available data, and any damage I receive will reduce my power output by one percent until I hit thirty percent.
From there onwards, every point of damage means a reduction of one percent from the prize pool, calculated from the final total of Merit Points. And if I'm killed, then the prize pool will be refunded,” a streamer in Uchiha Madara’s avatar, clad in Sengoku-era armor, said. He was inside a comic-con-looking area, due to the number of characters from different media, as he walked towards an open wormhole. The wormhole was connected on the other side to an already open stargate carried by the stealth breaching pods that had infiltrated the ship and were yet to be discovered and destroyed.
More than a million people were watching him, as he was a very famous streamer and speedrunner. He was embarking on a speedrun mission with full enthusiasm because there were a hundred thousand Merit Points on the line as a reward, gathered from the viewers who financed it should he successfully accomplish the mission's goals.
@listener wants to bet that he is going to lose seventy percent of his strength in ten minutes.
“Mister @listener, how much are you willing to bet? I will match it,” the streamer asked as he highlighted the comment, not wanting to lose the opportunity to earn additional Merit Points that would help him upgrade his Madara, because at the moment, he was very weak and nowhere near his full power.
@listener: 1,000 MP if you don't die in ten minutes.
@Listener responded with a comment before another screen appeared in front of the streamer. He read it slowly before showing a sinister smile as he clicked the accept button. Moments after he clicked accept, an announcement was made to all the viewers of the stream: {@Listener has bet one thousand MP that will be given to @Glizzy should he survive ten minutes following boarding the ship, and he would receive a similar amount if @Glizzy falls to thirty percent of his strength within ten minutes of being inside the ship.}
@ponga: Whooooooo, now go and show us!
@nugised: Why are you delaying? Are you getting cold feet now that there is a chance of you losing MP you don’t have?
Comment after comment came in, either supporting him or increasing the amount they placed on the bet, choosing their sides, and expanding the pool to another hundred thousand MP that would be paid out to all of the winners.
Feeling the MP on the line had reached a satisfying amount, he finally walked through the stargate. The feed went dark for a moment before showing the footage on the other side, which was nothing but light.

He had found himself in a rain of fire the moment he exited the stargate in the breaching pod, losing fifty-seven percent of his strength before he could even deploy his shield to protect him. This caused the streamer to have beads of sweat on his real body’s forehead as he realized he was on the verge of losing his remaining strength, which would then start eating into his prize pool. It would also mean that he would have lost the bet and would have to pay the one thousand MP to @listener.
“Now I have evened the odds. Let’s get started,” he said, as if the surprise welcome attack was by design.
But as he was getting cooked and mocked by the chat, his hands started forming hand seals as his cheeks puffed, and a voice-over was heard: “Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction.” Just as he was about to breathe out and cook the entire corridor in a fit of anger for being humiliated and to repay the cooking he was receiving from the chat, a red warning screen appeared in front of him, reminding him that this attack would likely kill the soldiers and end his mission in failure.
This caused him to instantly redirect his attack upwards, as he couldn't cancel it, having already dedicated mana to the fire rune that was about to activate.
The fire covered the roof, increasing the temperature in the room as the soldiers lay on the ground to avoid dying. But this was not a fire happening on a planet; it was happening inside a spaceship, meaning the oxygen was limited and burning up very fast.
The upwards-directed fire burned the oxygen in the room, entering the HVAC systems and burning the oxygen in every connected corridor until it was met with safety locks. Only then did the fire stop spreading and die out after the fire suppressant measures activated, followed by oxygen finally re-entering the sector. By then, all the people within the sector were down, having fainted from the lack of oxygen.
“Everything is going according to Keikaku,” he said, looking confident as people on the chat praised him or were surprised by how he had managed to not only think of it but also implement it successfully.
“How did I come up with it? It is because I went through the collected data on the making of this civilization's ships,” he said, bringing up a 3D representation of the ship as he prayed his guess of how it worked was actually true. He pulled up and highlighted the HVAC system, which actually showed how, for safety measures, the HVAC systems only allowed free air movements within a sector before being met with safety locks that prevented air from moving between them. Breathing a sigh of relief, he said, “This system acted as the cause of their loss of consciousness since the safety locks also limited the amount of oxygen in a section, resulting in all of it being burned completely in a short time, turning what should be a life-support system into a deadly attack. What do you think about my speedrun strategy?” he asked arrogantly, praying that if he was wrong, he would be proven so after the stream, not now.
But not even a second after he finished giving his explanation, an empire-wide announcement was made: [Congratulations to Scorpion Red for being the first to discover an effective strategy. As a reward, he will be given one hundred thousand Merit Points, and for anyone using the strategy, he will receive 0.5% of the Merit Points earned during its use.]
And thus, the first section-wide speedrun strategy was born. The empire's plan was already working. By making the war look like a game, it opened the way for curious gamers to look for ways to win it fast and speedrun it, and it was finally paying dividends only ten minutes after the imperial citizens' avatars started joining the cleanup in the Oort cloud. The Conclave was about to start experiencing what being an NPC on the receiving end of it felt like.
