Takumi welcomed them warmly.
More races meant better diversity.
They could build a greater civilization together.
"The Underworld has already been built here?"
"That's a pleasant surprise."
Sirzechs, overhearing Takumi and the others talking, showed a glint of surprise.
Takumi's world didn't used to have an Underworld.
But now it had been established?
That was excellent news.
Demons like them naturally preferred to live in a place like the Underworld.
"Yes, it's already been built."
"If you try sensing it, you should be able to enter."
"It's no big deal for you all."
Takumi's Underworld might be difficult for ordinary people to access.
But for demons and undead, it was a breeze.
Even some humans often went to the Underworld.
That girl Hu Tao loved personally delivering the dead to Yama.
So it was no big deal.
Hearing this, Sirzechs was briefly stunned.
Then he tried sensing it.
Sure enough, it was effortless to detect.
The method of entry was simple too.
With that, he started thinking he could send more demons to this world.
Thinking that, Sirzechs made up his mind.
Takumi's world was one they definitely had to come to.
There were already many races here, and it would only become more prosperous in the future.
For demons like them, it was a great place.
Living here would bring them many benefits.
Who could refuse that?
Takumi greeted everyone, then turned to Prometheus and said:
"Send over some Mechanoids."
"There might be some hot-tempered folks coming soon."
It was better to make preparations in advance.
Some folks from the DxD side weren't exactly friendly.
They might stir up trouble in Takumi's world.
So countermeasures were necessary.
Anyone who caused trouble would be immediately arrested and thrown into the space prison.
Or even exiled to some uninhabited planet in space.
Takumi was never soft-hearted toward troublemakers.
He wouldn't act himself, but his Mechanoids definitely would.
And their strength was nothing to scoff at.
Upon hearing Takumi's command, Prometheus began making arrangements right away.
The Mechanoids started arriving to take up duty.
As the order was given, a void opened up.
One by one, Mechanoids emerged.
The newly arrived demons were stunned at the sight.
What were these?
Not human?
There was no detectable energy from these Mechanoids.
Yet no one dared underestimate them.
Each one could control spatial powers.
Who would dare dismiss that?
After everything was set up, Takumi turned to Akeno.
"I'm heading back now. Want to come with me?"
Hearing him, Akeno nodded.
"Of course! I even want to live near your place."
She blinked playfully at Takumi as she said it.
Since she came to Takumi's world, she naturally wanted to be neighbors with him.
Takumi could only sigh helplessly.
Everyone wanted to live near his house.
Wasn't his place getting a little crowded?
Thinking that, Takumi decided to expand his mountain.
Otherwise, there really wouldn't be enough space for everyone.
Since all his chat group members wanted to live in one place, it was time for a renovation.
Having decided, Takumi said no more.
He opened a spatial portal and signaled everyone to follow.
Gabriel didn't follow, instead leading a group of angels back to the Celestial Realm.
As for Sirzechs and the other demons, they wandered around Takumi's world.
But first, they had to get their ID cards.
The Mechanoids stationed here weren't just for show.
They also handled ID distribution.
These Mechanoids had their own systems, so Takumi didn't need to bother with the details.
Takumi brought Akeno and the others home.
No one was there since Tomoyo and the others were out.
Back home, Takumi turned to Akeno and said:
"Find a spot you like, and I'll build you a house."
He pointed to the nearby area.
There wasn't much open land left.
Several villages were located below.
Even Remilia's home was around here.
Some residents from Gensokyo had also joined the crowd.
Because of that, Takumi's mountain was already quite populated.
Akeno casually pointed to an open space:
"Over there."
"Right next to your house."
"That way, it's easy to visit."
She smiled sweetly at Takumi.
Hearing her, Takumi nodded.
He said nothing and manifested a small villa for Akeno.
Then, he used his power to expand the mountain.
In an instant, the entire mountain rose several hundred meters.
The surrounding terrain was expanded as well.
Without affecting the city buildings, the mountain became even grander.
If it ever got too crowded again, Takumi would just move.
He'd go live with the Flugel instead.
Takumi made up his mind.
He had only lived here before because of the City of Hope below.
From his current location, he could clearly see several cities.
Looking further, he could see Velier.
It was undeniably a prime spot.
Akeno watched the whole process and couldn't help but smile.
How willfulit was so easy for him to expand.
No concerns at all.
But that was fine.
"Thank you~!"
"You've been a huge help."
Akeno and the others quickly expressed their gratitude.
Chapter 468: Look, Everyone's HereOnly Youre Left
Akeno and the others' arrival caught everyone's attention.
That evening, people close to Akeno came by in droves.
After everyone gathered, Chika Fujiwara couldn't help but laugh:
"If this keeps up, Takumi might just end up collecting all the worlds of our group."
"Should we ask Suoh Mikoto about it?"
"Bring their world over too, then go grab the world of Honkai as well."
"That way, aside from the Little Garden, everyone will be here in Takumi's world."
Chika Fujiwara was thrilled.
Now all the group members were gathering in one world.
Anytime they wanted to have a reunion, they could.
Wasn't that great?
At this point, the group members had either immigrated or connected their worlds directly.
Only Little Garden and Honkai remained.
If they moved Suoh Mikoto's City Bureau over, only those two worlds would be left.
Teyvat had already fully migrated.
But that still left Honkai and Honkai: Star Rail.
Star Rail couldn't fully relocate, so they would have to pull the whole world in directly.
Hearing Chika's idea, Takumi stroked his chin.
"Koju did mention to me beforeshe suggested I turn my world into a Little Garden."
"Then I could gather a bunch of worlds and build a new collective world settlement."
"Not a bad idea."
"Maybe before bringing in Tomoyo's world, I could pull in Suoh Mikoto's first?"
Chika's words jogged Takumi's memory.
Most group members really were here already.
He was planning to bring Tomoyo's world in anyway.
But now, maybe he should try pulling Suoh Mikoto's world in first.
Upon hearing this, Chika's eyes lit up.
"You really thought about that?"
"That's a great idea!!"
"Why not ask Suoh Mikoto about it?"
Chika was clearly excited.
If Takumi really did develop his world into something like Little Garden, they'd all benefit a lot.
They were founding members, after all.
Takumi would definitely treat them well.
"I'll ask~!"
"First, let's bring Suoh Mikoto's world over."
"Then I'll go... kidnap Honkai."
By the end, Takumi's expression turned a bit awkward.
Given the Imaginary Tree's affinity for him, if he went, they'd probably agree in a heartbeat.
Takumi hadn't left his mark over there yet.
If he went to mark it and relay his intent,
That world might really move itself over.
Thinking this, Takumi quietly made a mental note.
Yeahstart with Suoh Mikoto's world.
Immediately, Takumi entered the group chat and messaged Suoh Mikoto.
Takumi: [@Suoh Mikoto, beep beep.]
Chika Fujiwara: [@Suoh Mikoto, beep beep.]
Sagiri: [@Suoh Mikoto, beep beep.]
Megumi Kato: [@Suoh Mikoto, beep beep.]
...
The whole group joined in, tagging Suoh Mikoto.
He didn't usually chat much.
All these people tagging him now made him curious.
He rarely participated.
He just hung around the streets with his clan.
So all these pings really confused him.
Suoh Mikoto: [Here.] [What's going on?]
Takumi: [Thinking of moving?]
[I'll come pull your world over. Most of the group has already connected to mine.]
[Only Honkai, Little Garden, and your world remain.]
[As for Honkai, I'll go coax themit'll probably work.]
[And Little Garden... Koju wants me to steal all their worlds and duplicate the core to rebuild it.]
[So really, only your world is left.]
[What do you think?]
Takumi laid everything out in the group chat.
After reading Takumi's message, Suoh Mikoto fell into deep thought.
Had things already reached this point?
Everyone had moved to Takumi's world?
White Yaksha: [What did I just see?] [@Takumi, tell me more about stealing worldsI'm very curious!!!]
Seeing Takumi's message, White Yaksha lit up with interest.
Eyes shining, she looked eager to jump in.
What a great idea.
She had planned to bail on Little Garden anyway.
Now Takumi was saying he'd just steal their worlds and copy the core?
That was amazing!
Such a good plan!!
Black Rabbit: [White Yaksha-sama, please calm down!!]
[Little Garden is already in chaos. If you do this, it's over for us!]
Come on, please stop stirring trouble.
Little Garden was already a mess.
If Takumi followed through, it'd really be finished.
Izayoi Sakamaki: [What's the problem? A new world means a new stage. And if the whole world's our people, our community will be even stronger, right?]
[@Takumi, just let me know whenit'll be fun.]
Kasukabe Y: [Black Rabbit, please shut up!]
Asuka Kudou: [Black Rabbit, quiet! Don't speak!!]
The other Little Garden members all agreed with the plan and quickly silenced Black Rabbit.
You're just a rabbitwhat are you even talking for?
This isn't your place.
Admin, mute her!
Black Rabbit sulked.
Ah geez...
Takumi: [Everyone, quiet down!]
[@Suoh Mikoto.]
Seeing everyone rush in, Takumi was a bit helpless.
He was still talking to Suoh Mikoto.
Suoh Mikoto: [I don't mind.]
[If it's doable, I'm okay with it.]
[What do I need to do?]
Move the world?
He had no objections.
If his world could be moved, he could visit Takumi's world anytime.
And his clan could become stronger.
Lots of benefitsno downside.
Takumi: [OK, I'll come to your place then.]
Since he agreed, it was settled.
Takumi could go tomorrow and bring Suoh Mikoto's world over.
Once that was done, he'd move on to Tomoyo's world.
Then it was off to Honkai to coax that world over.
Finally, he'd deal with Little Garden.
That one would take more planning.
Plus, those invitations he sent outsomeone might respond.
He might have to move those worlds too.
In other words, Takumi's next goal was to begin moving all these worlds into his own.
And build a vast world collective.
Just thinking about it made Takumi's heart race.
It was excitingbuilding something even greater than Little Garden!!
That was Takumi's next objective.
Chapter 469: Dont Let Them Get Killed Unexpectedly
Takumi finished settling Akeno and the others in.
At the same time, he began thinkinganother world was already on its way to his own.
The world of Blade Dance of the Elementalers.
This world would also eventually arrive in Takumi's domain.
But no one knew exactly when.
After all, there's no concept of time when traveling through the void dimension.
It could arrive tomorrow, or it might take a year or two.
Either way, there wasn't anything that needed doing right now.
If any of those worlds arrived, Ophis would naturally notify Takumi.
As for the matter of "stealing worlds," that could be slowly negotiated with White Yaksha.
Nothat wasn't stealing. It was simply taking.
Anyway, those folks didn't want Little Garden anymore.
They planned to build a new one.
If that was the case, Takumi didn't mind lending a hand.
Over the following days, Takumi didn't do anything in particular.
He stayed at home quietly.
Whenever he had free time, he'd go out exploring with Tomoyo and the others, enjoying the wonders of his world.
Eventually, Takumi set off for Suoh Mikoto's world.
Suoh had been waiting.
Takumi used a covert method to enter his world.
When Suoh released Takumi, he immediately suppressed his power and vanished from view.
Takumi: [You don't want your world exploding because of me, right?] [So I'll get to work.] [Just pretend I'm not here.]
After disappearing, Takumi sent this message to Suoh Mikoto.
If he didn't leave right away, his presence alone might have destroyed this world.
He hadn't used points to travel here.
Arriving directly like this, Takumi's power could easily annihilate the entire world.
But he wasn't here for destructionhe came to bring the world back.
So he had to be cautious.
Suoh Mikoto: [Do whatever you like.]
After reading Takumi's message, Suoh didn't say anything further.
Now that Takumi was here, the rest was up to him.
He wouldn't interfere.
For all he knew, they might already be on their way to Takumi's world.
Takumi, after sending the message in the group chat, turned his focus to the world bubble in front of him.
Suoh Mikoto's world bubble was fragile and small.
This alone showed it wasn't a particularly powerful world.
Still, it was stronger than those with no powers at all.
At least this world had supernatural abilities.
Even immortal beings existed here.
All in all, the world had potential.
"Next stepbring this world back."
"But it's going to take some effort."
Takumi examined the world and made his decision.
He would need to fully open his imaginary space.
Otherwise, he could forget about taking the world.
Staring at it, Takumi measured everything mentally.
His imaginary space was large enough.
No need to worry about storageTakumi's imaginary space was infinite.
Fitting one world inside? Child's play.
As long as he could contain it, he could take it.
From outside the world bubble, Takumi didn't know how far he was from it.
Looking around, he was like a tiny speck of dust.
