Season 5: Chapter 65. Revolt of the Trash (3)
Bang!
"Wha... Huh?"
Bubblegum, suddenly airborne, had a thought.
‘Am I dreaming right now?’
From his perspective, the scenery had instantly shifted. He floated just off the ground. A momentary confusion was understandable, but one glance at the chat window told him this was very much real.
— lmaooooooo
— lmaooooo
— lmaooooooo
— lmao of course it ended like this
— Why did you have to open your mouth LOL
Mockery flooded in to laugh at him. It felt all too real and familiar. The reality Bubblegum always had to run face-first into.
— He's so bad lmao
— Yeah, figured
— Classic Bubblegum
— Was almost worried they'd actually win
The countless jeers and sneers called him a bad player.
"I... I can win too...!"
Bubblegum wanted to do something or say something.
Thud.
He already plummeted back down to earth.
[Abyss Kraken → Bubblegum]
Pop.
He was reduced to a rune spirit. Only then did he understand.
"A K-Kraken?!"
The Kraken had killed him.
— WHAT
— lmaooo
— Kraken got him lol
— \\o//// RAWR~
— Heaven really does help lol......
His viewers were dying of laughter while his team was dying.
"A Kraken?!"
"What?!"
Everything happened all at once. Crowded together in the narrow ruins, their health had already dwindled. They were easy prey for the Kraken.
CRASH!
"Ta-taaank~?"
BornToB got launched in exactly the same fashion as Bubblegum.
[Abyss Kraken → BornToB]
They had no way to fight the Kraken.
"R-run at least!"
"Run where?!"
The most anyone could do was hold on or flee. That was just how the system worked. However, they had nowhere left to run and no health left to hold out.
AAARGH!
CRASH!
Every time a tentacle rose, another person got sent to heaven.
[Abyss Kraken → LetMeTank]
"NOOOOOO!!" LetMeTank wailed like she couldn't accept that it had ended this pointlessly.
— What
— No way
— Kraken ending lmaooo
— lmaooo
— What is this
— The will of Popcorn!
— lmaooooo
Screaming into the void didn't help. With only Choco Shroom left, they couldn’t possibly win.
"NOOOOO!"
[Abyss Kraken → ChocoShroom]
CRASH!
A tentacle came down and crushed her flat. Team Almond without Almond, all four of them, met their end. The result landed in front of them.
[2nd Place]
From somewhere up above, a victory scream erupted.
"YEEEEEEAAAAH!" Zelo sounded less than human and more animal.
— lmaooooo
— lmao
— lmaooo
— Wait WHAT
— No way
— Of course lol
— Ah... damn
"This is it! This is what I'm talking about!"
[Challenge Completed!]
Zelo hit the accept button on the spot.
Cha-ching!
[You have acquired the reward: 870,000 won!]
— Let's go
— Damn!
— Ruined...
— Welp lmao
— At least it didn't crack a million
Most viewers had figured the odds were against Bubblegum, so the pot never made it past a million.
— Avoided twerking
The twerking situation had been avoided.
"Every last person who ever called me below Gum, you're all BANNED!!!"
The humiliating title of being below Gum was no more.
— Lmao fr
— That title was rough
— That really was a low blow~
— lmao fr
— Banned!
Bwahahahahaha!
Zelo was absolutely losing it. Honestly, the money from the challenge barely mattered. It would have been truly devastating if Zelo went down in history as being worse at the game than Bubblegum. Team Bubblegum failing to place first was the best possible outcome for him.
Ding.
[HistoryTeacher has donated 10,000 won.]
[Zelo? Don't you have to say thanks to the martyr Popcorn~?]
With a face flushed from excitement, Zelo hollered, "Ah, yes! The martyr Popcorn! I will never forget him! He may not have stopped the Almond Era directly! But through his armed resistance! And his tireless diplomatic efforts!? The spirit of our independence fighters lived on! And through the deployment of not one but TWO Krakens! I hereby declare! That we are finally liberated from the Almond Era!"
— lmaooooooo
— Lmao fr
— Two atomic bombs dropped
— Wait did Popcorn actually do diplomacy lmao
— Let's go!!
— applause
— Martyr Popcorn!
— lmaooo
— But technically Popcorn is the one who woke the Kraken so this is actually accurate
— The way it all lines up perfectly is killing me lmao
"This is amazing! So THIS is what liberation feels like! I'm so happy!" Zelo suddenly struck a pose and put on some music. "You know what, I'm just going to do it anyway!"
Then, he shook his ass like there was no tomorrow. It was a virtual Zelo, not the real one, but the visual was nothing short of a war crime.
— lmaooooooo
— Insane lmao
— Save me
— lmaooo
— Who is this even for...
— LMAO
— lmaooo
— What is the lighting effect for lmao
— He actually wanted to do this all along... ...
While Zelo celebrated, under the same sky, someone wore a completely different expression.
Almond’s expression looked completely blank. He had the same face even when the Kraken launched Bubblegum into the air as if he'd already known how it would end.
— lmaooooo
— lmao
— Did he freeze??
— Wow the Kraken lmao
— How is he straight-faced right now?! Archers are built different
Bubblegum was never going to win. Team Almond without Almond wasn't a real team. Almond already knew how it would end.
[2nd Place]
Even when those words materialized in front of him, his face didn't change.
— Did his soul leave his body?
— Is Almond okay?
— Is this lag lmao
— What is that expression lol
Was it that there was nothing to react to because he'd already known? No, that wasn't it. A blank canvas in modern art wasn't the absence of expression.
Almond's blank face wasn't empty either. This act carried one very powerful statement. If someone could stand perfectly still while a typhoon raged around them, would that mean they weren't exerting any force?
Of course not, they'd be applying an enormous amount of force. That was the only reason they could stand still at all.
Almond's blank face was exactly that. A tremendous collision of forces was happening inside, but everything canceled out until what remained. Whether the viewers understood that or not, the laughter flooding his chat made Bubblegum's comments section look quiet.
— lmaooooooooooo
— lmaooooooo
— lmaooo
— lmaooo
— At last! We, the Nut Faction, hereby announce our liberation from the Almond Occupation Era!!
— Let's go
— The atomic bomb drops lmao
— The Kraken delivered twice lmao ...
Ding.
An almost unbelievable notification rang out in front of Almond.
[5 Consecutive Placement 1st Place Finishes]
[3,890,000 won]
[Mission Failed]
The mission had failed. An enormous sum of money vanished before his eyes.
Ba-bam!
[ShyNapoleon has donated a whopping 100,000 won!]
[Hehe, had a great time~]
ShyNapoleon, who finally witnessed Almond’s first-ever mission failure, even showed a generous side by throwing in a big donation just to celebrate.
— Let's go~
— LMAO
— Ruined...
— Welp lmao
— ShyNapoleon's first W in their life
— How long has it even been lmao
— Unprecedented moment lmao
— This is historic!
— Almond staging a silent protest with his face lmao
— lmaooo
— I never thought I'd live to see ShyNapoleon win
However, Almond remained expressionless. He didn’t say a single word. — ? — ??
— Is he actually frozen?
— Wow... that's commitment
— He's staging a sit-in lmao
Viewers interpreted his blank face as a form of protest. They tried to crack it by poking harder.
Ding!
[WAIT has donated 10,000 won.]
[(Video) S T A Y...]
Someone donated a clip of him first agreeing to queue with Bubblegum.
— You gave us so much entertainment~
— lmaooo
— lmaooo
— He probably wishes he could go back
— The beginning of everything......
— Gum bro lmaooo
Ding.
[lolololol has donated 3,000 won.]
[Orders?]
— lmaooooo

— Ouch...
— lmaooooo
Now, they dug back up a question he could never answer to rub salt in the wound.
[Sadge has donated 10,000 won.]
[(Video) Zelo sends his congratulations]
A congratulatory message from his rival arrived.
— LMAO
— What even is twerking??
— What is happening
— This is an AI video, take it down~
— lmao he's actually doing it
— Why though lmao
Almond’s expression still remained blank. His patience was genuinely remarkable. Zelo's twerking, at least, was supposed to get some kind of reaction out of him.
— He's STILL blank??
— Is this a screenshot lmao
— Someone pasted a photo in
— Manager, come get your guy~
— It's lagging
Someone even started asking if the frozen Almond was just a photo. Then, someone offered a theory.
Ding.
[EggPlant has donated 2,000 won.]
[You guys don't get it? Almond is going to stay like that until donations cover the full 3.87 million]
— LMAO
— lmaooo
— Don't spoil it
— Garlic bro lmao
— lmao
— Is that actually it??
Was that what triggered it? The donations started climbing.
Ba-ba-bam!
[RubySword has donated a whopping 300,000 won!]
[My deepest condolences to the dearly departed Almond]
He suddenly received 300k won in one donation.
Almond's face flinched just slightly. A reflex toward reacting had fired automatically.
— His eyes twitched lmao
— X
— He's not going to react to this?
— So Almond is dead?? lmao
— X
— lmaooo
— Whoa 300k lmao
— Hasn't this already covered what he lost in the mission?? lmao
— React to it already~
The viewers started to figure out how to move Almond, or rather, a streamer couldn’t be moved with just light teasing.
Ba-ba-bam!
[Xiaolongbao has donated a whopping 500,000 won!]
[Here to present my condolence gift.]
Another big donation came in.
— Let's go
— Legendary XLB
— What
— Is this person a Chinese billionaire? Genuinely don't know
— lmaooo
— Oh wow
— When was the last 500k donation
— Whoa lmao
Twitch.
The corner of Almond's mouth moved.
— Hey
— We all saw that you little...
— Drop the face already
— lmaooo
— The corner of his lips lmao
— lmaooo
— It moved lmao
— I can see the squint~
— lmaooo it's so cute
Viewers caught the movement and exploded with laughter. Almond held the line, still blank, but his eyes started to drift.
He couldn't keep this up forever. The act would drop it at some point.
Ba-ba-bam-ba-bam!
[BigSon has donated a whopping 1,000,000 won!]
The opening had arrived.
[Let's meet again and do great things!]
Snap!
Almond's head dropped into a deep bow.
"Thank you! BigSon! Xiaolongbao! RubySword!" — ?
— NO WAY
— You scared me lmaooo
— LMAO
— A million was too much to resist lmao
— lmaooo
— lmaooo
— Let's go
— Peak sell timing
— The timing lmao
— Somehow, the stone faced sit in made more money than the actual game?? Lmao
— is this a facecam only stream now?? Lmao
— Stonks top-sell
— lmaooo
— lmaooo
Almond had nearly recovered the entire mission pot.
Ding.
