Elysia immediately puffed up her cheeks, glaring at Takumi. She was not a bad girl!
Eden picked up on the meaning behind Takumi's words and couldn't help but laugh.
"Though Elysia does like cute girls, she doesn't have any bad intentions. So your concern is unnecessary. But since you're here, why not have a few drinks? I heard you've been quite busy lately."
She motioned toward the beach chairs.
Takumi didn't decline Eden's invitation. He casually opened the drink and took a sip before walking over.
"Mainly, it's because I've figured out how I want this world to develop next. So I've been busy moving some worlds here. I'm planning to bring over the Honkai world soon too."
That was what had been keeping him busy.
Upon hearing that, Elysia's eyes sparkled.
"Really? That's wonderful. I'm definitely interested."
Chapter 477: As the Saying Goes, Since We're Already Here
Takumi wants to move the Honkai world over?
That idea was simply brilliant. For this, Elysia was in full agreement. If the Honkai world could be brought over, then they would have the chance to revisit the world they had once fought so hard to protect. Even though their mission was already complete and that world no longer truly belonged to them, just being able to see it again would be incredibly meaningful.
That's why Elysia strongly supported Takumi's decision.
Elysia quickly ran up and hugged Takumi's arm, asking eagerly:
"When are you going to do it? I can't wait anymore! Hurry up and bring that world over already!"
Takumi was a little speechless upon hearing her. He had only casually mentioned it, but Elysia was already so excitedit seemed like she was more eager than he was.
Smiling, Takumi replied:
"Don't rush. Give it some time. Right now, I need to finish moving other people's worlds first. I'll set up more teleportation gates, and we'll build more cities in our world. In the future, this world will surely be connected to many others. Maybe there won't even be enough land for all the gateswe might need to place some of them in space."
As he said this, a smile spread across his face.
Takumi's plan was to build a city around each teleportation gate from a connected world. If too many worlds got connected, he might not have enough cities. When that day came, the solution might be to place gates in spaceone to connect worlds and one to bring people down to Earth.
But there was no rush. After all, building so many cities in this world would take a long time. Not to mention, Takumi's world was constantly expanding and evolving. Who knew what it would eventually become?
"Is that so? That's a bit of a pity. But it's finejust bring that world over when you're ready. I haven't seen Duckie and the others in so long."
Though Elysia felt a bit regretful that it wouldn't happen immediately, she didn't press further. Just knowing it was coming was enough to make her happy. She tightened her grip on Takumi's arm, overjoyed by this direct benefit falling into her lap.
Takumi silently gave Elysia a thumbs up in his mind. She really was the bestElysia was saikou~!
"Is it really possible to move that entire world?" Eden asked after hearing Takumi's plan.
She was skeptical. Could an entire world truly be moved?
"Of course it can," Takumi said confidently. "I've already moved several worlds. The Honkai world is no exception. Every time I go there, the Imaginary Tree treats me like its own child. If I ask it to move, it won't refuse."
Beside him, Kana nodded in strong agreement. She had felt it too the first time she met Takumiit was definitely true.
"I see. Then I'll look forward to it," Eden said, raising her glass to clink with Takumi's before taking a deep gulp.
Takumi watched her and sighed. Eden really did love drinking. She always had a bottle in hand.
"Takumi, can you move my world too?" Emilia hesitated for a moment before asking.
Since everyone was talking about moving worlds, could her world be moved as well? Though most of her family and friends had already migrated to Takumi's world, moving her entire world would still be meaningful.
"Your world? The more the better. I'll head over when I have time."
Takumi didn't mind. Though he had ended up in Emilia's world by chance, he had left the world coordinates behind. If he wanted to develop his world, more worlds were essential.
Eventually, if he wanted his world to surpass Little Garden, he'd need a lot more to support it. His plan was to make his world the center and continuously connect and develop other worlds around it. The more worlds, the stronger his own would become.
Even mosquito legs were still meat.
So he'd grab Emilia's world when it was convenient.
"Thank you!" Emilia was overjoyed after hearing Takumi confirm it. That was wonderful news.
"Don't worry, it'll all happen," Takumi said with a smile. "Even things I never considered before, I might end up doing later. So don't stress."
Emilia nodded. She'd look forward to it.
After wrapping up the conversation, Takumi spent time playing at the beach with everyone. Kana and Elysia seemed to get along very well, chatting and laughing together.
Seeing this, Takumi was genuinely surprised. Maybe it was because Elysia was also a Herrscher?
Kana had great relationships with all the Herrschers, including Shiina Sima, who had received a Herrscher core from Takumi. Since arriving in Takumi's world, Kana had become much more talkativeprobably due to seeing so many familiar companions.
Though if it were a slacker Herrscher, she probably wouldn't be as friendly.
Takumi and the others played for a long time. When evening came, they enjoyed a delicious dinner together.
After eating and drinking their fill, Takumi finally returned home.
But his house was still emptyeveryone had gone to Little Garden. He wasn't sure if they had actually acquired any Spirit Ranks yet, but no news had come back.
He also discovered that Algol had been taken to Little Garden by Sagiri.
Clearly, those people were planning something over there.
Chapter 478: Hurry Up Already
That night, Takumi couldn't resist sending a message in the group to ask about their situation.
Since they had all gone to the Little Garden, had they managed to obtain spirit ranks?
That was what Takumi was most curious about.
As for whether they were causing trouble over there, well, they could do as they pleasedit wasn't really his concern.
Takumi: [Ding ding ding, since you've all gone to the Little Garden, have you obtained any spirit ranks?]
As soon as he sent the message, quite a few members in the group popped up.
Fujiwara Chika: [Got one!!]
Sagiri: [I got a Savior Spirit Rank, probably because I saved several worlds.]
Tokisaki Kurumi: [I got a Spirit-type Rank...]
Megumi Kato: [Same, Savior Spirit Rank!]
Akeno: [Godslayer Spirit Rank!]
Bronya: [Savior Spirit Rank!]
Houraisan Kaguya: [Emm... I got a divine-related Spirit Rank.]
...
Without a doubt, the group members had gained a lot.
By traveling to the Little Garden using the traversal talismans, they had all obtained substantial benefits.
The spirit ranks they earned gave them a massive boost.
Even Zhongli obtained a Dragonkin Spirit Rank.
As for Boros and Lala, the two aliens didn't go. Maybe even if they had, they wouldn't have gained muchafter all, they were aliens. [.jpg]
Right now, everyone in the group had gained substantial benefits.
That was great news.
Takumi: [It's good you all profited.] [While you're there, see if you can score more gifts or benefits in the Little Garden.] [Since you've gone, make sure to bring something back.]
In Takumi's view, since they were already over there, they might as well grab some loot.
Why return empty-handed?
They might as well loot a little more.
Seeing Takumi's message, everyone agreed.
They hadn't intended to return so soon anyway.
After chatting with everyone in the group for a while, Takumi left the chat.
In the following two days, Takumi stayed home.
Once his mood struck, he started the process of transferring the Toaru Majutsu no Index world.
First, he sent a heads-up in the group to Saten Ruiko, then headed to the Index world.
Seeing Takumi's message, Saten Ruiko immediately returned to her world.
They had more or less finished things in the Little Garden.
If she didn't go home now, she might not be able to return at all later.
So it was better to wait in the Index world for Takumi's arrival.
The others, seeing Saten return, also chose to head back to Takumi's world and wait.
Now that Takumi had begun the process of transferring the Index world, the others knew their turn wasn't far behind.
Takumi returned to the Index world.
He didn't enter it directly.
Currently, the Index world had already been segmented by him.
Looking at the sectioned-off space, Takumi curled his lips.
He didn't bother with it.
He had no intention of transferring that segmented phase world.
Better to abandon it entirely.
He only needed to transfer the main world below.
Looking at the world beneath, Takumi was quite surprised.
In the Index world now, the science and magic factions were fully at odds.
With the magic gods gone, the science side was gradually encroaching on the magic territory.
And more people were developing superpowers.
Even new Level 5 espers had appeared.
The world had completely diverged from its original trajectory and was developing in an unknown direction.
If Takumi hadn't come, who knew what this world would eventually become.
Takumi's segmentation of phases had deeply impacted this world.
He had cut off not only the magic gods' phase, but also the top brass of the Church.
This caused the magic side to greatly weaken.
After surveying the current state of the world, Takumi didn't hesitate and got to work.
Having done this several times already, he was quite efficient.
He released his power, expanded, opened the imaginary number space, and devoured the entire world.
Everything completed in an instant.
When Takumi started, Aleister sensed it too.
It shocked him.
But Saten Ruiko quickly explained the situation to him.
Otherwise, he probably would've jumped out in panic.
After packing up the Index world, Takumi returned home.
He placed the Index world into the orbital track of his own world.
As for the small phase world...
The magic gods left behind there were utterly baffled.
Previously they could still sense the world below, but now they couldn't feel anything at all.
For a moment, they were lost and confused.
They had no idea what had happened.
Now, they were completely sealed within that world.
They couldn't leave.
Unless they destroyed the world.
But destroying that world was tantamount to suicide.
After all, Takumi had implemented several safeguards.
They couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
...
When Takumi returned to his world and released the Index world, Little Ju came running.
Seeing the world Takumi released, she was ecstatic.
"This world is pretty good~!"
"Go find a few more like this one."
Little Ju was currently staring at the Index world with her true form.
She even looked like she wanted to poke it a few times.
Her true body was enormous.
She was a World Dragon that could carry dozens of worlds.
If she poked it a few times, she might accidentally burst the whole world.
Seeing her like this, Takumi rolled his eyes.
"Don't mess around."
"If you break it, you're paying for it."
This girl didn't know her own strength.
Takumi wouldn't dare let her poke around.
"Hehe!"
"Find a few more worlds like this one, and your world will definitely surpass Little Garden."
"There are quite a few people in your world carrying World Marks. Go bring their worlds here."
"The more worlds you have, the higher your upper limit will be!"
"Who knows, maybe in the future you'll redefine the single-digit and double-digit rankings."
Returning to human form, Little Ju ran up to Takumi and chattered away.
She was genuinely excited now.
If Takumi brought in more powerful worlds and built a new Little Garden, just how high could this world's ceiling go?
And with Takumi's ability to travel to other worlds, he could keep bringing in more worlds endlessly.
Just thinking about it made her happy.
Even though no one knew how big the dimensional multiverse truly was...
When this world became powerful enough, it would naturally start attracting other worlds.
That wouldn't change.
Just like how the Little Garden was originally foundedat first, those pioneers sought out other worlds themselves.
But later, more and more worlds were drawn to it on their own after being observed by the Little Garden's world system.
Chapter 479: Inori Yuzuriha
After Takumi's world was fully established, it was only a matter of time before more worlds would begin arriving. Seeing the potential, Kogura proudly claimed that she had excellent foresightthis world had incredible potential, and she had already secured her spot here.
"I know!"
"Next, I'll gradually bring more worlds over."
"At least a few dozen more."
"There are still some worlds with quite impressive strength."
"Just wait and see."
Takumi listened to Kogura's constant murmuring. Of course, he knew exactly what he needed to do. Without her saying a word, he was already on it.
After settling the Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index) world in place, Takumi began setting up communication systems and teleportation gates. The communication setup was resolved quickly. As for the teleportation gate, Takumi went straight to Academy City.
When he arrived, Aleister Crowley approached him.
"You relocated this world?"
Even after Saten Ruiko told him about it, Aleister still found it hard to believe. Takumi was actually dragging his entire world away?
"Ah, it's you, baldy!"
"That's right, I've already relocated the world into my own."
"Next, I'll be building a portal here in this school district that links directly to my world."
"Come visit when you're free!"
"And help manage things around here."
Takumi smiled brightly while addressing Aleister, though the latter wasn't thrilled by the nickname.
Ignoring him, Takumi quickly completed the construction of the teleportation gate, then vanished back to his own world to set up the corresponding entrance.
He placed the portal in City of Hope, near the Academy of Sciences.
