To cast a spell, all you'd need is a simple program.
Bronya could absolutely modify the CADs to operate like that.
Takumi was stunned by Bronya's explanation.
"Not a bad idea."
"You and Prometheus can handle this. If an upgrade is possible, go for it."
"As for upgrading everyone else's terminal, we'll just send out an announcement."
"Let them pay for the upgrade."
"After all, turning it into a magic terminalmany people would be interested."
Takumi didn't reject the idea. It was entirely feasible. Of course, the upgrades wouldn't be free.
Bronya nodded.
"I'm already modifying this terminal."
"If successful, we can roll it out on a large scale."
"The core of a CAD is the chip. So if they want an upgrade, they just need to swap the chip."
"I've already designed a new chip."
She displayed her research for Takumi to see. After scanning the design, Takumi gave a quick nod.
"No problem at all."
The terminal's functions weren't diminishedon the contrary, it now had added CAD functionality.
"If there's a problem, you're underestimating me!"
"I helped too!"
Lala interjected with a grin. It wasn't just Bronya's creditshe had played a part as well.
Takumi chuckled.
"Great work, Lala."
Lala clearly had no intention of going home anymore. She had decided to stay in Takumi's world. Her two sisters even came with heractually, the entire family had moved over.
As for Cheetah, he went off to fight aliens.
"Hehe!! What you brought back this time is amazinga completely different path of technological development. A fusion of technology and magic!"
"I've been struck with so much inspiration. By using their methods, a lot of things can be realizedincluding crafting real black holes by hand!"
"Not simulated onesactual black holes."
"I've already started the research. Eventually, I want to turn those space cannons into magic-based weapons."
"That way, everyone's magical abilities could level up significantly."
"Though I'm not sure who can actually use it."
Lala had a flood of ideas. She couldn't wait to turn them into reality. Her recent research had given her deep understanding, and with what Takumi brought back, she was more eager than ever.
"I see. Take it slow, there's no rush."
"There aren't any real enemies in our world anyway."
Creating new magic based on these integrations was absolutely necessary, but Takumi knew rushing would spoil things.
"You got those people for megive me a batch."
"I want them to start researching magic."
Bronya chimed in. This time, she was asking for people directly.
Takumi nodded.
"Sure! I'll have Mayumi help you."
"Or you can ask Prometheus to assist."
No problem at all.
However, when Bronya heard Takumi call Mayumi's name so familiarly, she glared at him.
She didn't say anything, but she grumbled internally"That guy moves fast!"
Damn it, so annoying!
"Alright, if that's it, you can leave."
"Upload the data for me."
"I won't be chatting with you anymore."
"After you upgrade, just have Prometheus update your terminal."
"We're busy now."
Bronya ushered him out and dove back into her work. She clearly didn't want Takumi lingering.
Takumi scratched his head, feeling slightly helpless.
But he didn't dwell on it. He vanished from the lab and appeared outside the world.
Once there, he could clearly sense the traces he had left earlier. The locations of other worlds were vivid in his perceptionthough he couldn't tell how far they were.
Still, this clarity left him satisfied. If he wanted to travel there again, he just had to head in that direction and spend time reaching it.
Meanwhile, the random world invitation letters he'd sent outsurely someone would show up soon?
Who would be the first to arrive?
Or perhaps... someone very strong?
Takumi was very curious about the 20 random invitation letters he had thrown out.
Back home, he turned to Prometheus.
"Prometheus, while I was gone, did anyone unusual appear in our world?"
Whether there was or not, he wanted to ask.
Prometheus came out and shook her head.
"None!"
"Our world remains stable."
"If anything does occur, I'll inform you."
"Oh, by the way, those seeds you mentionedthe Food Association sent them over."
"They're all in the Gourmet City warehouse now."
"You'll need to handle them."
Prometheus was sounding more and more human.
Takumi nodded after hearing her report.
Looking at Prometheuswho now acted no different from a normal humanhe couldn't help but say:
"Prometheus, continue optimizing yourself."
"Become even stronger."
"Whatever I bring back, equip yourself with it."
Takumi had no fear about Prometheus growing more powerful. In fact, he welcomed it.
Prometheus tilted her head slightly and replied:
"I've already installed all the cutting-edge tech onto my core."
"If necessary, based on my current power level, I can easily destroy an entire world."
Even a whole universenot just a single planet.
That's how powerful Prometheus had become.
And that wasn't limited to technologyshe had magical powers now too.
Chapter 456: She's Truly a Princess
All the knowledge Takumi brought back had already been absorbed by Prometheus, including the spatial cannon from that broken-down world. If she really wanted to destroy a world, it would be extremely easy. In fact, if Takumi gave her a few Herrscher cores, Prometheus could essentially become the Herrscher of the End.
Prometheus was incredibly familiar with using Honkai energy by now.
Thinking of this, Takumi rubbed his chin.
Should he really do it? Just make a mini End?
"Prometheus, how about I give you the Authority of End?"
Since the idea came up, he figured he'd just ask Prometheus directly.
Prometheus froze, tilting her head to look at Takumi. He wanted to give her the Authority of End?
"You want me to become a Herrscher too?"
Where did that come from? Suddenly offering her the Authority of End?
"That's right. 087, I want you to become a Herrscher too."
"I can now create Herrscher cores at will. You've been with the Honkai for so longno need to question your mastery of it. Giving you the Authority of End is a perfect choice."
The Authority of End contained all the powers Takumi originally possessed, except for the Authority of Law. Everything else was there. If given to Prometheus and combined with her immense knowledge, it would be terrifying.
"Alright."
Since Takumi was offering, Prometheus didn't hesitate and agreed.
Let's do this.
Takumi nodded and continued, "I'll meet you on the moon."
As he said that, Takumi vanished.
Prometheus's projection also disappeared.
When Takumi reappeared, he was already inside the moon's core facility. Prometheus's true body was resting there.
As Takumi arrived, she opened her eyes.
Prometheus would occasionally visit the world below, but due to her fame, everyone recognized her. So, she usually stayed away. After all, with a terminal in everyone's hand, who wouldn't know Prometheus?
Even Bronya got recognized when going out, so she mostly stayed in too.
Facing Prometheus, Takumi didn't hesitate. He conjured a purple core containing the Authority of End and handed it to her.
Prometheus quietly watched him. When the core was ready, she took it and began fusing it into herself.
As she fused with the Herrscher core, terrifying waves of Honkai energy surged around her. On Takumi's world, people could visibly see the moon glowing purple in areas where night had fallen.
A massive concentration of purple energy engulfed the moon, radiating brightly in space.
Many people who hadn't gone to bed stared in disbelief. What the heck was happening?
The moon turned purple?
Takumi's Academy of Sciences detected the powerful Honkai reaction instantly.
Dr. Mei, who had returned from the Herta Space Station, noticed the anomaly and was stunned.
"Prometheus? What's happening on the moon?"
In response to her query, Prometheus's system replied directly:
"Doctor, the core is currently merging with the Authority of End. That's why the Honkai reaction is so strong."
Reading the message, Mei frowned.
Authority of End?
Takumi gave it to Prometheus?
She stopped asking questions after that. As long as the moon was fine.
After all, the moon now functioned as this world's central network server. If anything happened, the entire world would go offlineincluding all connected other worlds.
...
Many people in Takumi's world also noticed the phenomenon.
However, the moon was a restricted zone. Even races from other worlds didn't go near it.
Though surprised, not many focused on it for long.
At that moment, Prometheus was nearly done fusing the core. Her clothing had also transformedsimilar in style to the Herrscher of Reason, but entirely purple.
Feeling the changes within herself, Prometheus was highly satisfied.
After completing the fusion, she spoke to Takumi:
"Next, I'll proceed with deeper optimization..."
"And begin upgrading the moon itself."
There were things she hadn't considered beforebut now, with the Authority of End, she could do anything.
"Alright. Take your time."
With that, Takumi prepared to leave.
However, just as he was about to go, Prometheus seemed to detect something.
"Wait."
"It looks like someone responded to your invitation."
"They've already appeared in our world."
As she spoke, data streamed through her eyes.
In the next moment, a screen appeared in front of Takumi.
Seeing it, Takumi looked puzzled.
Already? Someone replied so soon?
When Takumi clearly saw the person on the screen, his eyes lit up.
A beautiful black-haired girl in a luxurious kimono appeared onscreen.
The moment he saw her, the word "princess" instinctively popped into his mind.
And indeed, she was a princess.
Takumi hadn't expected her to be the first one summoned.
"Wow, I really didn't expect this."
His eyes sparkled as he stared.
On her side, she also seemed to sense someone watching.
After all, she possessed immense power.
When she arrived in this new world, she was shocked. A strange invitation letter had suddenly appeared in her room. Seeing the invitation, she was still trying to make sense of it whenbefore she could even agreeshe was forcibly transported.
That left her a little annoyed.
But the new world fascinated her. It wasn't like any world she knew.
The energy in the air was unfamiliar and intense.
Even more surprising, her own powers had started to shifttransforming into something aligned with this world.
After sensing it, she realized this world's power was frighteningly vast. The magic she possessed had become far more terrifyingmore versatile and potent.
Maybe this wasn't so bad?
As she finished scanning her surroundings, she keenly noticed someone was watching her.
Could that be the one who invited her here?
Chapter 457: Tomoyo Am I Stuck Here Forever?
Takumi stared at the girl on the screen. She, too, seemed to be looking directly at him.
Once he confirmed her identity, Takumi vanished from where he stood.
"Go on with what you were doing," Takumi left that remark behind before disappearing.
When he reappeared, he was already standing before the girl.
The girl blinked at Takumi, who had suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Hello, Princess Tomoyo!"
This young woman was none other than Tomoyo.
Takumi recalled someone in the group chat recently mentioning her. And now here she was.
So, the first world the invitation connected to was hers?
That meant its coordinates must've been recorded, too. Was her world closer to his?
That piqued Takumi's curiosity.
"Hello! That invitationdid you send it?"
"What an incredible item. It pulled me straight from my world to this one."
Tomoyo now fully understood.
She was no longer in her own dimension. She still possessed the power to cross between dimensionsbut only within her original world. Now, she was truly disconnected from it.
Her abilities remained, but the worlds she could sense were no longer the ones she knew. This was a completely unfamiliar universe.
"Yes, I sent it. Welcome to my world."
Takumi smiled brightly at Tomoyo.
Tomoyo was startled. This world belonged to Takumi?
"Your world You created this world?"
She scanned the surroundings, clearly amazed.
Was he a god of creation?
"I didn't create it, but this world is indeed mine."
"Miss Tomoyo, come on, I'll take you on a little tour. Since you're already here, why not explore before thinking of leaving?"
With that, Takumi opened a portal and invited Tomoyo to his home.
Where Tomoyo had arrived was quite far from Takumi's current residence. If Prometheus hadn't been monitoring things, no one might have even noticed another person entering the world.
Tomoyo thought for a moment, then decided to follow him.
They returned to Takumi's house together.
Inside, Ram and Rem were both present. Janna and Miori Shiba had also just returned from a trip.
When everyone saw Takumi return, they were delightedbut when they saw who he brought back, they froze.
"Wait... is that Tomoyo?!"
Miori Shiba was equally shocked.
Tomoyo looked at her with a puzzled expression.
She'd been curious ever since she arrived. She didn't have time to ask earlier since she followed Takumi in right away.
Now another person recognized her?
"You all know me?"
"I wanted to ask earlier. This gentleman called my name the moment he saw me, and now this lady knows me too?"
Tomoyo tilted her head toward Takumi.
Could someone explain what was going on?
Takumi chuckled.
"I'll explain everything in a moment. For now, please come in."
"Ram, Rem, could you help with some tea?"
While inviting Tomoyo inside, Takumi asked the twin maids to prepare tea.
They immediately headed to the kitchen.
Tomoyo scanned the house briefly, noted she didn't need to remove her shoes, and walked in calmly. She sat upright on the sofa.
Miori Shiba looked at her with intense curiosity, then glanced at Takumi with a puzzled expression.
Then she posted in the group chat:
Miori Shiba: [What's the story with Tomoyo?] [Why is she suddenly in our world?]
The rest of the group was just as confused.
Fujiwara Chika: [What's going on? Tomoyo?]
Nyaruko: [Tomoyo's here?!]
