What was this?
He'd just been handed a bunch of "Good Guy" cards.
Takumi grumbled to himself. As a Honkai character, how could he be labeled as a "Good Guy"?
Still, he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he asked another question in the chat:
Takumi: [Has Azi Dahaka appeared yet?] [If so, I'd like to join the fun.] [If not, I'll go unleash him myself.]
He was curious how far they'd gotten in the storyline. It should be close, right?
Shiroyasha: [Whether he shows up or not, I can suppress him anytime!]
Izayoi: [Same here. If he appears, I'll take him on!]
Neither of them was too concerned.
The story had already deviated massively. Who cared about whether or not Azi Dahaka appeared?
With their current strength, even if the dragon appeared, they had nothing to fear.
Takumi felt a bit speechless reading all this.
But then again, it made sense.
These people had strengthened themselves through the group chat system multiple times. Their current power levels were on a different scale.
Shiroyasha was no exception.
While Takumi was chatting, the scan of his internal energy was completed.
And then, the core of Little Garden made its judgment.
As the scanning force vanished, Takumi felt a new power manifest within him.
The Divine Classification from the core had finally arrived.
As this power emerged, Takumi's lips curled into a slight smile.
Just as he had expected.
[The Final Trial of Humanity: The End of the Universe] [The Final Hope of Humanity: The Rebirth of Civilization]
Takumi was both the final trial and the final hope.
The powers of annihilation and rebirth appeared simultaneously.
Because of Takumi's core nature, the Divine Classification he received expanded rapidly.
When Takumi's Divine Classification surged, everyone in Little Garden felt it.
The sheer strength caused countless deities to turn pale.
This wasn't three-digit or four-digit power.
It was single-digitor even beyond that.
An unprecedented power had just appeared in Little Garden.
"How is this possible?!"
Sensing the essence of this power, the gods and Buddhas were shaken.
Could Little Garden even contain such a being?
Why had someone this strong arrived?
Especially the gods tied to the concepts of annihilation and creation.
They were dumbfounded.
Had their superior just appeared?
Did a Divine Classification above theirs actually exist?
Shiroyasha felt it too.
As soon as she sensed Takumi's surging power, she rushed to the scene.
Looking at Takumi, she burst into laughter.
"Goodness, you're really something."
"Just like you said."
"This is going to be fun."
"Come on, tell me what Divine Classification you got!"
She was absolutely thrilled.
Everything Takumi predicted... had come true!
Chapter 369: Tsk, Tsk... This Ability Makes Me Want to Exploit the System
The Final Trial of Humanity The End of the Universe.
Just as the name implies, the spirit rank Takumi received is directly connected to the end of the universe. It represents humanity's last test. When the universe expands to a certain point, it stops expanding. Then, due to the effects of gravity, the universe begins to collapse inward until it condenses into an extremely hot, ultra-dense singularity, thus entering its final moments.
Upon obtaining such a spirit rank, Takumi's damage against humanity instantly maxed out. His damage against humans: max. Damage against civilizations: max. Damage against non-humans: also maxed. In essence, Takumi instantly maxed out his ability to harm all biological entities.
On the other hand, humanity's final hope is what Takumi obtained due to being bound with civilization. As the end, Takumi did not choose to destroy humanity but to walk alongside them. Thus, he represents both the end and the hope.
Furthermore, the rebirth of civilization is particularly intriguing. As long as Takumi is acknowledged by a world, he can obtain all the civilization's data from that world. That opens up some fascinating possibilities.
In other words, if Takumi travels to other worlds and gains their acknowledgment, he will obtain all their civilization's data. Realizing this, Takumi couldn't help but feel elated.
Although he obtained a spirit rank, Takumi's actual power didn't increase much. After all, Takumi is already incredibly powerful even surpassing the limits of Little Garden. The spirit rank provided by Little Garden only enhanced his functional capabilities.
For example: max damage to all beings, and access to all civilization data from recognized worlds.
"Quick, conceal your presence and let's slip away!"
As Takumi was still immersed in the feeling of his new powers, Shiroyasha suddenly called out. If they didn't leave now, those folks would arrive soon.
Hearing her words, Takumi chuckled. Without delay, he erased all traces of his presence.
Seeing that, Shiroyasha immediately took him and vanished from the scene. With their disappearance, all signs and energies in the area evaporated, as if no one had ever been there.
Shortly after their departure, numerous gods arrived at the location including Shiroyasha's direct superiors: the Twin Goddesses of Creation. Along with them came other top deities from various pantheons.
Yet, after arriving, they found nothing.
Frowning, they began scanning the area. That individual had disappeared completely. Not even a trace of their aura remained. The gods continued investigating the surroundings but turned up nothing.
Were they being avoided deliberately?
They had thought they might be able to catch a glimpse of this powerful newcomer. That kind of spirit rank had never existed before. Meaning, it must've been obtained after arriving in Little Garden.
But now that they were here and found nothing, it became clear that person didn't want to meet them.
After a fruitless search, the gods finally departed.
But none of this had anything to do with Takumi. He had no intention of meeting them to begin with. The reason he came to Little Garden was for the spirit rank and to take a look at the three-headed dragon.
Now that everything was settled, he could leave anytime.
Still, Takumi wasn't in a rush. Since he was already here, why not take back some souvenirs?
At that moment, Takumi followed Shiroyasha back to the Thousand Eyes branch. The two silently returned to her room and sat down.
"Tsk, tsk... Incredible," Shiroyasha said with a grin. "You really did obtain a spirit rank. But since you've taken something from Little Garden, there's something I must inform you of."
Hearing this, Takumi looked surprised.
"Go ahead."
Was there some kind of issue?
"Now that you possess a Little Garden spirit rank, your world can also be detected by Little Garden," she said. "But since your world is so far away, there's no need to worry. Others likely won't be able to go there. And if they could, they'd have to be pretty strong."
"At the very least, only double-digit powerhouses would be able to cross the void to reach your world."
Obtaining a Little Garden spirit rank isn't a trivial matter. After Takumi returns, Little Garden could possibly detect his world.
"By that logic, when you traveled to our world, Little Garden should've already detected it, right?" Takumi asked with a dumbfounded look.
Seriously, hasn't it already been detected? You've visited our place multiple times even gone to other worlds too. If detection was going to happen, it probably already has.
Looking at Shiroyasha speechlessly, Takumi shook his head.
Shiroyasha, caught off guard, paused and thought it over.
"You're right... Guess I'll pretend I never said anything, then!" she said, waving it off.
"Whether or not Little Garden's core truly detected your world it doesn't really matter. Your world isn't exactly nearby anyway."
Shiroyasha wasn't too concerned. Even if the world was closer, anyone trying to go there would probably end up getting clobbered by Takumi.
As long as Takumi was around, even if others knew about his world, it wouldn't be a problem.
"True," Takumi nodded. "Not many people possess double-digit combat power. Dystopian Wind, Kurimo, the Twin Goddesses, Kuroten, Divine Son Jesus, Typhon, Mathesia, and so on. But I doubt they'd randomly go wandering."
There are quite a few double-digit beings in Little Garden, but they don't roam about for no reason with a few exceptions.
Even if Takumi's world is now linked to Little Garden, it's no big deal. His spirit rank might be single-digit, but his actual strength goes far beyond that.
If a double-digit strength user came to his world, and didn't cause trouble, Takumi wouldn't care. But if they did stir up trouble? Takumi would beat them into the ground.
"Let's not talk about that anymore," Shiroyasha said. "What do you plan to do next?"
Now that Takumi had his spirit rank, what were his next steps?
"Maybe replicate some divine artifacts or blessings?"
Tilting his head, Takumi grinned.
He was already here not taking anything back would be such a waste. And outside Little Garden are many high-tech worlds. Heck, they can even manufacture perpetual motion machines!
Just imagine the level of their technology.
So how could Takumi not take back some unique goods?
Otherwise, he would've spent 1,000 points for nothing.
Since he had paid 1,000 points, he wasn't about to walk away empty-handed.
He'd aim to bring back returns thousands or tens of thousands of times that.
Now that Takumi possessed such an ability as long as he gained recognition from another world, he could obtain its entire body of civilization data.
Tsk, tsk.
Chapter 370: If I Say You Have a Traitor, Then You Have a Traitor
As long as he gains the recognition of a world, Takumi can obtain the civilizational data of that world.
In other words, if Takumi travels to another world and earns its acknowledgment, that world's database will open up to him. He'll be able to access everything within itanything related to civilization will be given to takumi.
Just thinking about it made him feel thrilled.
Takumi was genuinely looking forward to it. He wanted to test it out on a world. The worlds under Little Garden's hierarchy should be easy to get accepted into, right?
After all, Takumi was someone pretty well-recognized. Would those underlings dare disobey their big boss?
Because of this, all those worlds beneath Little Garden were essentially open to Takumi.
Not just the lower realmseven within Little Garden itself, Takumi could probably access a vast amount of data.
Although some information was heavily guarded by various divine factions, that meant nothing to Takumi.
No big deal. Little Garden would just help him sneak in.
Even though he hadn't tried it yet, Takumi had that kind of hunch.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help stroking his chin. The Divine Authority of Humanity's Final Hope was truly amazing. It didn't increase his combat power much, but it granted him countless benefits.
Takumi represented Collapse. Knowledge is power, and the knowledge of various worlds was exactly what Takumi needed.
"Copying some Gifts and Artifacts, huh?"
"Seems like that's all you can do. Just say what you want. My place is open to you. Feel free to copy anything from Thousand Eyes."
With a grand wave of her hand, Shiroyasha agreed to the matter directly. Letting Takumi handle it himself was fine.
Hearing that, Takumi nodded. "Then I won't hold back."
This was simply too good.
Takumi was very pleased. After a short discussion, Shiroyasha brought out her private collection for Takumi to replicate.
At the same time, she couldn't help asking, "Does your Divine Authority have any special abilities? Can you tell me?"
If not, that was fine too.
Hearing this, Takumi chuckled. He had nothing to hide and explained the details of his Divine Authority.
After Shiroyasha finished listening, she was stunned.
"Good grief!"
"With that kind of power, you might as well clean out Little Garden!!"
"Hey bro, let's make a deal!!"
Shiroyasha's excitement surged as she stared at Takumi, glowing with passionas bright as the sun. Fitting, since she was the spirit of the sun.
Seeing her expression, Takumi raised an eyebrow. "Let's hear it?"
What's she plotting now?
Rubbing her hands together, Shiroyasha beamed. "Hand over some of Little Garden's knowledge to me! I can use it!!"
She had just thought of a great idea.
Since Takumi could do this, he could obtain the knowledge from the various divine factions. What would happen if that knowledge leaked to their enemies?
If someone's enemy got hold of their confidential information?
Clearly, there's a traitor among youbut I won't say who. There's just a traitor. Otherwise, how could the info have leaked?
Those gods wouldn't take it lying down. Shiroyasha eagerly shared her wicked idea with Takumi.
Hearing her, Takumi was dumbfounded.
"Wow. You're really something."
Could any normal person come up with this? Oh waitShiroyasha wasn't human. That explained it.
Looking at her exasperatedly, Takumi asked, "Which divine factions are you targeting?"
There had to be specific targets, right? She couldn't want everything.
"Greek pantheon, and those feathered ones."
"Oh, and the Buddhist sect too!" she said menacingly.
Just those three.
"Didn't you convert to Buddhism?"
"If you want their stuff, just ask for it, right?"
Takumi looked at her, puzzled.
Hadn't she already joined the Buddhist faction?
Why was she targeting the baldies too?
"I never did, don't make stuff up!"
"They won't let me touch the core stuff anyway."
Though she said that, reality was clearthose guys weren't so generous. The core secrets weren't for her to access. Honestly, things had gotten rather bleak for her.
"Alright then."
Seeing her expression, Takumi understood. Since that's the case, there wasn't much more to say.
If you want it, then I'll give it to you. No big deal.
With that, Takumi activated his Divine Authority and got to work.
As the power emanated from him, Shiroyasha's eyes lit up. She was full of anticipation.
Takumi began extracting and packaging the data Shiroyasha requested from Little Garden's Central System.
Little Garden's core had a massive trove of information. Aside from what Shiroyasha needed, Takumi naturally packaged other stuff tooincluding the construction method of the Simulation Star Creation Diagram.
As long as it was something within Little Garden, Takumi could acquire it now.
