These Magic Gods represented various magic factions. Othinus represented the Norse pantheon and was ideal for teaching Rune Magic. Nephthys represented Egyptian mythology and specialized in time magic, life and death manipulation, and energy partitioning. As for Nyanyan, she mastered Daoist techniques and magical artifacts. Proserpina specialized in Greco-Roman mythological magic.
All of them were incredibly competent.
Magic Gods were essentially supreme sorcerers. Having them teach would be perfect.
Takumi's world had a vast array of magic but lacked instructors. Now that he brought these people back, it was only natural to put them to good use.
The Magic Gods exchanged glances after hearing Takumi's proposalthen nodded in agreement.
"Can I preach here?" asked Nyanyan with sparkling eyes. She seemed to have thought of something and eagerly asked.
Starting anew in another world wasn't a bad idea. Besides, at this point, they were like fish on a chopping block. Disobedience might just get them eliminated.
Still, there were things she needed to clarify.
Could she preach?
"Doesn't matter! If you're capable, do it however you want. But this world has no phases. The rest, figure it out yourselves. Prometheus, arrange for them to become magic instructors at the academy. Grant them access to all magical knowledge."
With that, Takumi handed them each a terminal and opened a space portal to send them to the academy.
The women looked curiously at the terminals in their hands and began to examine them.
But before they could act, their clothes suddenly transformed.
The black-skinned, white-haired, heterochromatic beauty's bandages turned into a modest, full-coverage outfit. The others underwent similar changes. Every revealing part was now properly concealed.
"Since you're going to be teachers, you obviously can't dress like that anymore. It's fine around me, but not in front of others," said Takumi, dead serious.
Bronya and Miori Shiba exchanged glances, speechless. He had clearly enjoyed the view moments ago.
They muttered in their hearts but didn't say more.
As for the Magic Gods, they looked at their new clothes, said nothing, and left with their terminals.
It was time to begin life in this world.
Prometheus would handle their assignments. Takumi had no further need to worry.
With the Magic God matter resolved, Takumi opened the group chat to contact Lala.
Takumi: [@Lala, hello, are you there?]
As soon as he sent the message, Lala popped up.
Lala: [I'm here!!] [Have you finished everything?]
Seeing Takumi finally reach out, Lala became excited.
Takumi: [It's all done. Give me the portal. You'd better set it up in a wide-open area. After all, it'll serve as a gate between two worldsthe more spacious, the better.]
Seeing Lala respond immediately, Takumi reminded herhoping she wouldn't open the portal in her bedroom or backyard.
Lala: [Can I dedicate an entire planet just for this portal?]
The alien princess didn't bother with half-measures.
She proposed using an entire planet.
Fujiwara Chika: [This is what an alien princess is like? So extravagant!!]
Saten Ruiko: [First rich lady of the chat group!!]
Raiden Mei: [This is getting ridiculous.]
Himeko: [She's on par with Asta.]
Taking out an entire planet on a whimit was just like Asta casually handing over a battleship.
Lala really was that kind of person.
Takumi: [That's unnecessary! Just find a spacious location. Maybe build a city around the portal afterward.]
If he remembered right, the planet with Lala's palace only had her family living on it, so finding a suitable spot should be easy.
She literally constructed homes by the planet.
But there was no need to go that far. Any open space would do.
Lala: [Alright! There's a large island near my home. That should be enough.]
[Takumi's exclusive red packet] [Here you go. I'm heading over now.]
After saying that, Lala logged off to begin preparations.
Takumi accepted the red packet and vanished from where he stood.
At that moment, on planet Dailubik
Lala tidied herself up and ran outside.
Seeing the princess running out, several maids hurriedly followed.
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
Running away again?
"Sister? Where are you going!?"
Her younger sister, Momo, also noticed her strange behavior and was confused.
Standing in the garden, Momo furrowed her brow.
What was her sister planning?
"Momo, come! I'm taking you to another world to have fun!! Hurry up!"
With that, Lala dashed toward the family's spaceship.
Hearing this, Momo was stunned.
Another world?
Huh?
She was completely baffled but quickly followed.
Not just herNana, hearing the commotion, rushed over too.
The three sisters, along with a group of maids, flew off.
Those maids insisted on following them no matter what.
And not just maidsother guards were also notified.
Every move Lala made caused a stir in the palace.
Even her parents would soon hear about it.
Chapter 315: Lala, Your Mom is So Beautiful
Lala arrived at an island near the royal palace. The guards who had followed her sighed in relief.
Thank goodness she hadn't run far.
But the next moment, they were dumbfounded.
Lala had pulled out a giant teleportation gate from who-knows-where and installed it right there.
"What is that?"
Just as Lala finished setting it up, a small figure appeared, accompanied by a woman who looked strikingly similar to Lala.
It was none other than Lala's mother.
"Mom, Dad! This is a World Gate! It lets you travel to other worlds!! Hehe! If you ever force me to get married again, I'll just escape to another world!"
Seeing her parents arrive, Lala cheerfully introduced the gate.
Hearing this, King Deviluke frowned.
"Other worlds? Something you invented?"
He knew how brilliant his daughter was. Was this something she made?
Would there be side effects?
And it connected to other worlds? Hmm...
This intrigued him.
Could he conquer other worlds now?
As the thought crossed his mind, his interest grew.
"Not something I invented! I won it in a lucky draw!"
Lala excitedly explained the chat group. Apparently, there were no restrictions on sharing this info.
Hearing that, King Deviluke was shocked.
A chat group that connected to other worlds? And you could win prizes?
Now he was very curious.
Everything his daughter was using now had come from that group?
A portal to another world?
He was intrigued.
Were there powerful individuals on the other side?
Thinking about it, he gestured to his guards.
They immediately began issuing commands.
Spaceships outside the planet were mobilized.
While Lala didn't seem concerned, King Deviluke was making preparations.
If someone dangerous came through, a war could break out.
He had to be ready.
Momo watched all this silently. She didn't say anything but hoped her sister wasn't being tricked.
...
Meanwhile, Takumi had no idea any of this was happening.
After receiving the portal from Lala, he found a suitable location to install it.
It was not far from Hope City.
Hope City hadn't expanded to this area yet, so it was perfect for the entrance to Lala's world.
There was even a spaceship launch site nearbycurrently being prepped for interstellar travel.
Velvie and the others had already built the ships.
Once the gate was installed, Takumi walked through.
On the other side, Lala had already finished setting up her end.
The moment he stepped through, he was greeted by a bunch of pink-haired girls, a short guy, and a fleet of star-destroying battleships.
Seeing this, Takumi was speechless.
"You must be Takumi?"
Lala's eyes lit up as she saw him come through.
So this was the legendary Takumi.
King Deviluke was also sizing him up.
Sensing Takumi's power, he was inwardly shocked.
What a powerful guy!
The strongest he had ever encountered.
Truly terrifying.
"Hello, Lala," Takumi greeted with a cheerful smile.
Then he turned to look at Lala's mother.
Wowshe was beautiful.
"Hehe, Takumi, let's go! I want to visit your world! Oh, let me introduce you: this is my mom and dad, and my two sisters!"
Lala chirped excitedly, introducing her family.
Now, the entire family was staring at Takumi.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Takumi," he said with a warm smile.
When he looked at Momo, he even winked at her.
Momo blinked in return.
Upon seeing Takumi, she felt they'd get along well.
She trusted her instincts.
"Alright, let's go! I want to see your world! I can't wait to meet everyone!"
Lala was bursting with excitement. After introductions, she casually grabbed Takumi's arm and pulled him toward the gate.
Takumi was a little helpless but said,
"Bring your parents too. If you don't mind, why don't you all come visit my world?"
He extended the invitation to Lala's parents.
Since they were all here, they might as well come together.
"Sure!" King Deviluke agreed without hesitation.
This unexpected new neighbor needed to be investigated.
After that, he ordered his royal guards to watch over the area.
Then he and the queen followed Takumi, along with Momo and Nana.
Once the group stepped through the portal and arrived in Takumi's world, they looked around at the barren surroundings.
Curious thoughts filled their minds.
Was this a suburb?
"Oh my? I see some cute girls here. Is this gate connected to another world too? No wonder I had a good feeling todayit must have been a beautiful girl radar going off!"
...
At that moment, another pink-haired girl appeared.
It was Elysia, who had been wandering around in Takumi's world.
She had just been visiting Velvie and was about to leave when she noticed the new portal.
Curious, she came to check it out and found a group of beautiful, pink-haired girls.
What a delightful surprise.
Takumi was surprised to hear her voice.
"Elysia? Why are you here?"
Seeing her descend from above, Takumi was puzzled.
Why had she shown up?
"Hmph! My beautiful-girl radar detected cuties nearby, of course!"
"Hi~! Nice to meet you all! I'm Elysia. What are your names?"
Elysia beamed and ignored Takumi, instead enthusiastically greeting Lala.
Lala saw this equally pink-haired beauty and her eyes sparkled.
"I'm Lala! Hello, Elysia. You're so pretty!"
Lala took an instant liking to Elysia.
And upon hearing Lala's compliment, Elysia's smile grew even brighter.
Pretty girls really do like each other.
She had been right.
"Hi, Lala! You're gorgeous too. And your name is lovely."
The two of them immediately entered mutual flattery mode.
Chapter 316: Pink-Haired Girls Are Usually Pretty Cute
Elysia didn't just meet Lalashe also got to know Momo, Nana, and their mother. As for Lala's dad?
Elysia completely ignored him.
When a bunch of women gathered, the atmosphere immediately turned lively.
King Deviluke didn't say anything about it. Instead, he stepped forward and started talking to Takumi.
"Since I arrived in your world, I've felt a change in the energy within me. Will this change affect my own world as well?"
At the moment, King Deviluke wasn't concerned about anything elseonly this.
Even though he had only been in this world for a short time, he could clearly sense the shift inside his body. He had been in a weak state with little energy, so any changes were very apparent to him. Now, sensing this internal transformation, he couldn't help but be stirred.
Could it be that he would recover from this?
Was this world really that beneficial?
"Yes. Every world connected to mine will be affected," Takumi replied without hiding anything.
As long as a world connected to his, its energy would gradually transform into Honkai energy. However, the core essence of some things would remain unchangedlike Gourmet Cells.
So it was only natural that the energy within King Deviluke's body would start changing.
Hearing this, King Deviluke frowned.
"There has to be a catch, right?"
Was it really that beneficial? Would there be problems once the energy changed? He needed to be sure.
"There won't be any issues. In fact, you'll gain significant benefits. And the source of that energy... is me."
Takumi smiled at him.
King Deviluke's eyes widened.
What!?
He was the source?
Now King Deviluke was truly stunned. That meant this man could control all energy?
Was this an invasion?
He examined his own conditionhe couldn't expel the new energy. So when Lala connected their world via the portal, had she essentially sold them out?
King Deviluke's mouth twitched. This might have been a little rash.
"Don't worry," said Takumi. "There won't be any problems. Besides, Lala and I are friends, right? What could go wrong?"
All that was happening was energy unification.
Standardizing the path, the text, and now even the energywhat harm could it bring?
King Deviluke gave Takumi a deep look.
"I hope so."
Even if there were problems, it wasn't like he could do anything about it.
He felt helpless.
He'd been tricked by his daughter!
But oh well. As long as she was happy, she could do whatever she wanted.
Maybe it wasn't so bad.
If something ever happened to their world, Takumi would probably help, right? After all, they were now neighbors.
And Takumi seemed like a decent guystrong, for one.
He watched Takumi and thought: if this continues, maybe I should marry one of my daughters off to him. Once they were family, everything would be easier.
King Deviluke quickly made up his mind.
He looked around at Takumi's surroundings.
"Is this the outskirts? And is that a spaceship base over there? Why do some of those ships look so strange?"
He looked at the giant locomotive in the distance and was baffled.
Trains? What era was this?
"That's an interstellar train," Takumi explained. "My world was once destroyed. Everything now is newly developed. The Science Academy is preparing to explore the universe. They've already found traces of alien civilizations and plan to go conquer them."
Upon hearing this, King Deviluke's eyes lit up.
"An interstellar war? Now that's interesting. I've got experience in that field. Need help?"
He was a professional when it came to star wars.
Takumi was caught off guard.
"Emm If you're interested, you can go over and learn more. I don't interfere in their development. My world is connected to many others. One is a world full of food, another is a game world. If you're curious, feel free to explore."
