After the message was sent, that guy Izayoi didn't reply.
But Black Rabbit did reply.
Black Rabbit: [Izayoi is reasoning with those True Ancestors!] [So he has no time to look at the chat.]
Upon seeing Black Rabbit's message, takumi was momentarily stunned.
Reasoning?
Using fists to reason?
Thinking of this, the corner of takumi's mouth twitched.
Just as takumi was speechless, Izayoi suddenly surfaced.
Izayoi Sakamaki: [Exclusive red packet for takumi] [Here's your space bracelet back.] [There's a gift inside... ]
Seeing this message, takumi was a little surprised.
But he still accepted it.
Taking out the space bracelet, takumi glanced inside and was instantly shocked.
takumi: [Good grief, you snatched Avrora???]
Looking at the contents, takumi was startled.
Inside the space bracelet lay a silent ice coffin.
Inside was a Sleeping Beauty.
Izayoi Sakamaki: [Of course I had to grab her once I saw her!] [Do you still want her? If you do, I'll snatch the others back for you too.]
Izayoi felt no psychological pressure about seizing Avrora.
With a casual punch, he exploded a Familiar that attacked him.
He began chatting with takumi.
Izayoi was currently in the middle of battle.
And also chatting in the group.
takumi: [Bring it on!] [Snatch the others back for me tooI want them!] [Exclusive red packet from Izayoi Sakamaki]
Since you already offered, of course I'll take them.
Who could refuse a team of loli True Ancestors?
takumi certainly couldn't.
He wanted them!!
Black Rabbit: [!!!!] [That's enough, you two!!] [Izayoi, fight seriously!!]
Seeing the situation in the group, Black Rabbit was furious.
Good grief, you're still chatting?
Could you please fight seriously?
Izayoi Sakamaki: [No rush; even all of them together aren't enough to fight me!] [It's no big deal.]
He wasn't flustered at all and even felt like laughing.
Seeing his relaxed appearance, takumi didn't say anything more.
It looked like Izayoi and the others on that side would solve the problem soon.
It was just two worlds that needed to be fused.
Izayoi and company only needed to deal with those True Ancestors and the incoming Gods of Disobedience.
Of course, there was also Cainotherwise known as the Last King.
Thinking of this, takumi said no more.
As for Fujiwara Chika and the others,
it might take some time; after all, they had to run all over the world.
And then gather up survivors.
takumi couldn't be bothered to ask.
Who knowsby the time they finished their task, their vacation might be over.
After muttering to himself for a while, takumi stopped thinking about it.
Instead, he took out the Holy Grail and continued his research.
The chat group quieted down once more.
Everyone went back to their respective tasks.
No missions, no points.
Chapter 277: You Were Caught by That Blond Guy, Werent You?
Decoding the Holy Grail is equivalent to analyzing the rules of the entire world.
In addition to that, takumi made another surprising discovery:
The Holy Grail is connected to the Spirit Corridor.
Certain races use the Spirit Corridor to cast magic.
All the magic they've cast is recorded within it
Much like the Root.
Additionally, even the technological advancements of the Dwarves are recorded.
Because many aspects of this world rely on the Spirit Corridor.
With the Holy Grail, takumi has essentially obtained all the knowledge of this world.
This revelation greatly delighted takumi.
Isn't this wonderful?
At this point, takumi was feeling extremely satisfied.
He decisively absorbed all of this world's knowledge.
At the same time, he gradually came to understand what "Divine Essence" truly is.
When takumi comprehended it all, a strange gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Now I can not only create Herrschers, but even Gods themselves?"
Indeed, with the Holy Grail, takumi now has the ability to create Divine Essence.
He could use specific concepts of the world to create it.
And then, whether to give the essence to others,
or allow new deities to be born like war gods,
both are viable options.
This idea brought takumi immense joy.
If he ever chose the path of a divine realm,
he could create a horde of conceptual subordinate gods.
But takumi is not walking that path.
Unlike those gods who follow fixed paths,
takumi's situation is a bit more complicated.
His main ability is the Cocoon of the End, containing all Honkai abilities.
This came from the system.
Then there's his power from the Star Rail side
a gift from the Imaginary Tree.
And lastly, the fusion of magical systems from various worlds.
But by now, these magic systems can be considered part of his Cocoon of the End.
In summary, with the Cocoon of the End as his core,
he continuously absorbs knowledge from other worlds to strengthen himself.
He is bound to civilizations, but those civilizations are not bound to him.
He reaps the benefits, and he will help develop the civilizations.
However, if a civilization is destroyed, takumi bears no responsibility.
Because civilizations cannot affect takumi.
Moreover, his power is now increasing to the point
that the benefits he receives from civilizations are becoming negligible.
In essence, is takumi offering charity?
That's pretty much the gist of it.
Thinking about all these things,
takumi returned to researching the Holy Grail.
Time passed slowly as he delved into it.
Eventually, other members of the chat group began completing their tasks.
Izayoi Sakamaki: [Exclusive red packet for takumi] [Here you go. Mission complete. You'd better release them quickly.] [Don't starve them to death.]
After completing his mission, Izayoi sent takumi a red packet.
Takumi, still aboard Avant, saw the message and his eyes lit up.
They already finished the mission?
takumi: [I got it.] [The mission on my side is nearly done too.] [Just waiting for the worlds to fuse.] [@shiroyasha, is everything alright on your side?]
Takumi couldn't help but ask how Shiroyasha was doing.
He had handled what he could on his end.
Now, it all depended on her.
Seeing takumi's message, Hakuyasha quickly replied in the group.
Shiroyasha: [Done!] [With those dragons helping out, everything is fine.] [I eliminated all unstable factors.] [They've all turned to ashes.]
Shiroyasha isn't exactly what you'd call gentle.
She can certainly "reason with you"
Though you may end up as ashes by the end of it.
She's quite easy to talk to, really.
Although a problem child of Little Garden,
she's actually very kind; when she kills you, it won't even hurt.
You'll just black out and turn to ash in an instant.
takumi: [Cool, then there's no problem!] [Now we just need to wait for the world fusion.] [@Fujiwara Chika, how's it going on your side?]
As he asked, takumi also released the loli True Ancestors that Izayoi had sent over
including the still-slumbering Avrora-chan.
Eleven identical lolis were released.
They all stared blankly at takumi.
Then... several of them turned their eyes toward Avrora.
From her, they sensed the presence of the original essence.
Takumi glanced at the lolis before speaking:
"From today onward, you belong to me."
"That blond kid probably told you, right?"
"He's the one who snatched you away."
With a smile, takumi looked at them.
That guy Izayoi definitely forcefully grabbed them
Then sent them over to takumi.
The girls looked at each other in confusion.
That blond guy... was it the one who brutally overpowered them?
He'd pinned all the True Ancestors to the ground and thrashed them.
Even Cain showed up afterward due to the commotion.
But he still got wiped out.
It was said that the two worlds had fused.
They didn't know what happened afterward.
Once Izayoi locked onto them, they were imprisoned in a special space.
Now it seemed they had been gifted to someone else?
Takumi gave them time to digest this and walked over to Avrora's coffin.
He gazed at the quietly sleeping Avrora.
Raising his hand, he wiped away the ice covering the top.
Then, placing his fingers on her forehead,
he activated his power and erased the original soul.
Leaving all the power to Avrora alone.
After settling all that, takumi finally woke her up.
Avrora emerged from the coffin, dazed.
"I..."
She stared blankly at takumi.
In her flame-like pupils, confusion swirled.
Where was she now?
And where was the original soul?
"From now on, you will listen to me."
"Understood?"
Takumi stared at Avrora as he spoke,
releasing a trace of his power.
As soon as they felt takumi's aura,
all twelve lolis began trembling.
So scary!
Each of them had inherited the familiars of the Fourth Progenitor.
Their senses were sharp.
The moment takumi released his power,
they felt it instantly.
This kind of power was terrifying!
Something they could not possibly contend with.
Even in their complete forms, they would be no match.
Takumi looked over the lolis:
Blot, Toritos, Tettaltos, Ponptos, Enatos...
Twelve lolis with ten familiars.
Looking at these girls,
takumi considered granting them the Thousand Herrscher Authority.
Then each one could display their full power.
Twelve familiarsthey're really quite decent.
Their abilities are excellent, and if raised properly,
they could be a formidable combat maid force!
Chapter 278: Angels? Lapdogs of God!
The twelve familiars of the Fourth Progenitor correspond to the twelve zodiac signs.
Perhaps shiroyasha would be quite pleased seeing this?
The Diamond Beast of the Ram corresponds to Capricorn. It possesses a diamond-hard body and abilities such as defensive barriers, reflection, and barrier sealing.
The Amber of the Minotaur corresponds to Taurus, possessing immense physical strength.
The Mercury of the Dragon-Serpent corresponds to Gemini, with the ability to devour and control dimensions.
The Silver Mist of the Shell corresponds to Cancer, with the ability to vaporize everything.
The Gold of the Lion corresponds to Leo, able to generate electromagnetic fields.
The Rainbow Flame of the Nether Princess corresponds to Virgo, capable of severing divine crowns.
The Black Sword of Yama corresponds to Libra, with gravity manipulation powers, which can even be combined with the Nether Princess's Rainbow Flame.
The Purple of the Scorpion Tiger corresponds to Scorpio, capable of analyzing toxins, creating antitoxins, and stealing the abilities of other familiars.
The Deep Crimson of the Twin Horns corresponds to Sagittarius, releasing ultra-high frequency vibrations.
The Crystal Eye of Capricorn corresponds again to Capricorn, with powers focused on the spiritual realm.
The White Steel of the Water Sprite corresponds to Aquarius, with healingor rather, temporalabilities, allowing objects to revert to their original states.
And finally, the Ice Blue of the Enchantress corresponds to PiscesAvrora's own familiar.
Its ability is to control ice.
Familiar, isn't it?
Twelve familiars, twelve distinct abilities.
They're somewhat similar to takumi's own authorities.
While takumi was chatting with the lolis, Jibril suddenly ran in from outside.
Seeing the people in front of takumi, Jibril paused.
"Vampires?"
Her eyes lit up at the sight of the vampire girls.
She examined them for a moment, then shook her head.
"Not quite."
These weren't true vampiresjust similar in appearance.
She had seen real vampires before, and they didn't look like this.
Not vampires, not humans. So, they must be from another world that takumi brought back?
Thinking this, Jibril's curiosity was piqued.
Meanwhile, the twelve little lolis were terrified at the sight of Jibril.
"An... angel?"
"God's lapdog?"
"Damn! Have we entered the devil's den?"
They thought Jibril was an angeland were instantly frightened.
"She's not an angel," takumi yawned and introduced her.
"She's a Flugel."
"Jibril, they're vampires from another world."
"Kind of like your world's vampires."
Jibril perked up at that.
"Vampires from another world?"
"If other worlds have similar beings, then does that mean they might have versions of us Flugels too?"
Jibril's curiosity intensified.
Could the angels these vampires mentioned actually be referring to Flugels?
"More or less," takumi said with a tilt of his head.
"You'll see when we go back."
"But you probably won't like angels, will you?"
Indeed, Jibril likely wouldn't be fond of angels
Some angels are just too righteous.
Flugels, said to resemble angels, are more like fallen angels or angels of war.
After all, they were created for combat.
Peace-loving angels probably wouldn't like Flugels.
And Flugels likely wouldn't like angels either.
They'd probably just get on each other's nerves.
Hearing that, Jibril got even more curious.
"Oh?"
"Let me take a look."
"There should be records in the terminal you gave me, right?"
Saying that, she took out the terminal and began searching for information about angels.
Since takumi mentioned it, she was intrigued.
What kind of beings were angels?
When she received the terminal, she had mostly browsed historical records of various worlds
Primarily from the human race.
She found some of their values quite admirable.
Lately, she'd been engrossed in their histories and cultures.
She soon found information on angelsand upon reading it, her brows furrowed.
"Hmph!"
"As expected, I don't like these guys!!"
"Your world has angels too?"
Seeing all the praise angels received, she instantly disliked them.
And she finally understood what they were.
Wings on their backs?
Flugels have theirs at their waists.
Just that alone shows they're different breeds.
"Oh yes!" takumi grinned.
"I raised those angels too."
Gabriel, for example.
"Hmph hmph!"
"I'll be sure to take a good look when we get back."
"When do we leave?"
"I can't wait to explore the other world."
Closing the terminal, she lost interest in reading.
She'd already determined angels weren't her type
Incompatible.
Not just herprobably all Flugels wouldn't like angels.
