Soon, they also noticed Takumi.
Realizing that Takumi had returned, the two immediately felt a headache.
And they noticedhe had become even more terrifying.
What the hell was he?
The moment he appeared, Takumi also noticed Alaya and Gaia watching from the shadows.
"Hellooo~!"
"Long time no see. I'm back again."
Hearing his greeting, Alaya and Gaia hugged each other and trembled.
We don't want you here.
If possible, they hoped never to see him again.
"You guys go play for now. I'm going to have tea and eat cream puffs with Alaya and Gaia."
Takumi said with a cheerful smile to Sakura and the others.
Then, he disappeared.
Seeing him vanish, the group exchanged glances.
But Irisviel quickly shrugged it off and instead began observing the surroundings.
Chapter 536: Klee If I Had Known, I Wouldnt Have Come
Returning once again to their own world, everyone felt a sense of joy.
Irisviel immediately instructed Prometheus to check the current situation in Fuyuki City. It was better to understand the situation first before taking any action.
Meanwhile, Takumi had arrived at the palace where Gaia and Alaya resided. Their bodies trembled in fear upon his arrival, remembering all too well the chaos he had wrought last time.
And now, he was back.
"W-what are you planning to do this time?" Gaia asked with a frightened expression.
Takumi's lips curled slightly. "This time, I'm here to help you. I'm going to converge all the parallel worlds of this realm and move this entire world over to mine."
Upon hearing Takumi's intentions, both Gaia and Alaya were stunned.
"Eh? Move this world?"
Their eyes widened in disbelief.
Takumi nodded. "That's right. I want to move this world and build a greater one in my domain. Follow me, and your world will have a brighter future."
He glanced at the two with a hint of menace. "Or are you thinking of refusing?"
The two immediately trembled even more.
"No, no, no! We won't refuse!" they shook their heads frantically.
To them, Takumi was a tyrant. But after hearing his full explanation, their eyes gleamed with surprise. This might actually be a great opportunity.
"Good. Since you're not opposing, I'll begin the operation. First, I'll merge all the parallel worlds tied to this realm."
Takumi couldn't help but mutter inwardly. The Type-Moon world had an overwhelming number of parallel worlds.
What he needed to do now was pull all those worlds in and merge themsome fully, others kept distinct.
Luckily, he had plenty of ways to manage it. He was determined to claim this world for himself.
The potential of the Type-Moon world was enormous. Once fully fused, its growth would be unmatched.
With that, Takumi got to work. After greeting Gaia and Alaya, he stepped outside the world.
There, he gazed upon the endless expanse of parallel worlds tied to the Type-Moon realm. It looked like strings of pearls stretching to infinity.
He sighed and began his task, entering his strongest state to perform the high-level fusion. Though it was his first time, he performed as if it were instinctual.
He captured the adjacent worlds, pulling them in and merging them one by one.
Once everything was brought in, the core world would undergo massive transformation.
This current world would act as the anchor.
As Takumi moved, the powerful individuals in the Type-Moon world sensed something.
They were baffledwhat was happening?
Soon, alternate versions of themselves from parallel worlds began transferring powers into them.
Of course, not everyone received gifts.
Takumi only focused on Sakura, Rin, and a few others. The rest were up to Gaia and Alaya to sort out.
Some people were heroic spirits in other worlds, so the possibilities multiplied.
As for Takumi, he left those decisions to Gaia and Alaya.
But Sakura and the others? Takumi wanted them all.
Under Takumi's control, Sakura and Rin's powers began to surge wildly.
He only gave them powernot memories. Those were unnecessary.
In front of Klee and the others' stunned gazes, Sakura and Rin instantly grew up, becoming powerful big sisters.
They were now true powerhouse onee-sans.
Klee was dumbfounded.
Rin was still a good person, but Sakura... she had become scary!
Klee fell into thought. So envious. If only she could grow up too, then she could be as amazing as her mom.
Yaoyao was equally shocked. She hadn't expected grown-up Sakura to be so formidable.
As for Rin... well, maybe her future kids would starve?
Yaoyao glanced between Sakura and Rin, then looked at Illya.
Illya hadn't changed muchmaybe just a tiny bit taller?
But her aura had grown stronger.
It was truly enviableto grow powerful just like that.
Sakura, feeling the changes within her, slowly went from confused to amazed.
Thanks to Takumi's help, knowledge was fusing into her. Her mind was maturing.
Otherwise, if he only gave her strength without the mental growth, it would cause problems eventually.
The same happened with Rin and Illya. Their minds were becoming more refined and mature.
Even Irisviel gained strengthsome of her alternate selves were extremely powerful, even mastering the Third Magic.
Everyone Takumi brought back, though not native to the world, gained immense benefits.
"Mom! Let's go home and take a look."
After feeling the changes, Rin called out to her mother.
Tsaka Aoi stared in a daze at her now-adult daughter. It felt like her child had grown up in a flash.
That sensation quickly faded, replaced by a sense of naturalnessas if Rin had always been this age.
"Alright, let's go home and see."
She didn't object.
They took Kaji and the others along and began heading back to the Tsaka residence.
As they walked, Sakura suddenly scooped up Klee.
Klee was a bit frustrated. Sakura had grown right before her eyes. Until moments ago, Klee still considered her a peer.
Now, her peer had become her big sister. How could Klee not feel down?
"Should I start calling you onee-chan from now on?" Klee asked gloomily.
It was too sudden, hard to adapt.
Sakura smiled gently.
"Yes! You should call me big sister from now on."
Indeed, she was now a proper onee-san.
Hearing Sakura acknowledge it, Klee's frustration deepened.
She really wanted to grow up too.
Chapter 537: This Isnt Scientific, Why Didnt I Get Bigger?
Her once-close sisters had suddenly become older sisters. Klee felt disheartened by this unexpected change. Although she was upset, there was nothing much to say.
As more and more parallel worlds were fused, Sakura and Rin became increasingly powerful. When they returned to the Tohsaka residence, they discovered that the house had been taken over by others. Looking at the desolate place, Sakura and the others had complicated feelings but said nothing. The group strolled through Fuyuki City aimlessly.
A whole day passed without any news from Takumi. So, they found a place to rest and began quietly waiting. Klee, on the other hand, was having a great time. The city was quite nicethough some parts seemed damaged from what appeared to be gas explosions. Based on the gathered information, these were likely caused by magi.
For two consecutive days, they wandered Fuyuki City. Meanwhile, Takumi had stopped merging new parallel worlds. The growth of power for Sakura and the others also came to a halt. In just a few days, their power had grown to terrifying levelsall due to the merging of World 26. Even Tohsaka Aoi had gained decent strength, as she had power in certain worlds.
When Takumi completed the convergence of all worldlines, he had provided plenty of benefits to the Type-Moon characters. After finishing everything, the Type-Moon world had expanded many times over. The number of parallel worlds connected to it was massive. Under Takumi's operations, the world itself grew enormously in size. Still, Takumi could handle it.
Thinking this, Takumi began acting. He opened his Imaginary Space and started devouring the entire world. When Takumi did this, Alaya and Gaia became aware. Because of the merged parallel worlds, they also benefited greatly. However, they didn't merge all beings from the other worlds. Some grew stronger, but many remained unchangedthough most gained magical energy.
After Takumi devoured the world, the task was considered complete. Just absorbing this one world took him nearly an entire day. It was extremely exhaustingbut finally done.
After securing the Type-Moon world, Takumi glanced at the surrounding emptiness. Without lingering, he chose to return. Back in his own world, Takumi stepped outside the world boundary and began releasing the Type-Moon world. Absorbing it had been difficult, but releasing it wasn't nearly as troublesomeTakumi was incredibly fast.
Still, releasing such a massive world did attract attention. This world was just too large. Many from Takumi's world sensed the shift and came running, including the likes of shiroyasha and Kogai.
Upon seeing the released world, Kogai's eyes lit up.
"It's huge! This world is amazing! Hurry and use your power to cover it. That way, your world's laws will grow stronger and evolve faster toward a Little Garden."
"Also, the world will's presence is incredibly intense. Why not turn them into your own world's will? The stronger your world will is, the better! Form a contract with them!"
Kogai quickly offered her suggestions. The benefits of bringing this world back were enormous. She couldn't wait for Takumi to claim the world.
shiroyasha also nodded.
"Bringing back the Type-Moon world was the right call. It'll save you many detours. Alaya and Gaia can become your world's will. Contract them and merge them with your current weak will."
"Your world will is driven purely by instinct. With Alaya and Gaia as your will, you'll gain far more advantages. There's no downside."
Hearing their words, Takumi raised an eyebrow and fell into thought. It did seem possibleto let Alaya and Gaia replace his world's will. Nodding, he responded:
"That could work. Let me finish this first. I'll get started."
With that, Takumi got to work, establishing a passage in Fuyuki City along with communication infrastructure. Upon seeing the passage, Sakura and the others rushed over. They knew instantlyTakumi had succeeded.
With Sakura's help, they quickly arrived and saw Takumi working on deploying Mech-Kai types.
"Takumi-oniichan!!"
Despite having grown up, Sakura still called Takumi "oniichan." Turning at the sound, Takumi saw the now-grown Sakura. A gentle smile formed on his lips.
"Very nice. You've grown up all at once."
Unable to help himself, Takumi praised her.
Rin snorted coldly at his comment.
"You pervert!!"
She had noticed how Takumi had been staring intently at Sakura.
How annoying!
Looking down, she couldn't help but feel resentful. Why hadn't she grown up too? Didn't she deserve the same respect as an older sister?
Even with immense power, compared to her own sister, it felt worthless. Tears welled in her eyes.
Illya didn't grow tallerand neither did she!
Takumi glanced at her but said nothing. No one else addressed her complaints either.
Illya rushed over eagerly.
"Takumi-nii!! Look at me!! I've grown a bit taller too. Can I keep growing taller?"
Illya was desperate for answers. Seeing Sakura and Rin grow made her anxious. She wasn't Sakuratall and... developed. She was so envious.
As for Rin... well, Illya didn't envy her at all. In fact, she felt superior.
If only she could be like Sakura.
That's why she urgently asked Takumicould she still grow?
If so, she begged him to help. Staying in her current state was frustrating.
Even if she was just a little taller than Klee, it wasn't enough.
She didn't want this forever.
Chapter 538: Over My Dead Body, Im Not Going There
When Takumi heard Illya's question, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Sorry, but you're not going to grow anymore. This is your maximum heightunless you go to Mobius' lab and have her help you."
Takumi beamed at Illya. But upon hearing his suggestion, Illya's expression froze.
"Forget it," she said. "I think I'm fine the way I am."
Go to Mobius' lab? That was basically a death sentence!
Just hearing that name made her shudder involuntarily. Aliceviel, too, recoiled.
Both of them had been sent to Mobius' lab by Takumi for bodily adjustments when they first arrived. Being treated like corpses on an operating table and soaked in Maphrolineonce was more than enough.
After that experience, even the mention of Mobius made them flinch. They swore they'd never go backif they had to pass by her lab, they'd go around.
Seeing Illya's reaction, Takumi shrugged.
"Well, if you're not willing, there's nothing I can do. She's your only hope for getting taller. As far as this world's rules go, you've reached your limit. I've done all I can."
Illya was deeply frustrated.
"Don't worry, Illya. You're already taller than us! That's something to be proud of," someone reassured her.
Illya rolled her eyes. Taller now, surebut she wouldn't grow any further. What she was now was what she'd always be.
"You should call Illya 'Onee-chan' now, Klee!" she declared.
If she couldn't get taller, at least she could assert seniority.
Klee wasn't thrilled. Illya was only slightly taller than her. In truth, Illya was younger than them.
Soon, Klee and Illya were arguing.
Takumi laughed heartily at the scene but didn't intervene.
Meanwhile, more and more people had begun arriving. Takumi turned to Prometheus.
"Prometheus, start the notifications. Also, Gaia, Alayainform everyone. I'll be needing you soon. Make sure even the old-timers who don't go online know what's happening."
Takumi instructed Prometheus to begin the announcements and asked Gaia and Alaya to spread the wordsome residents lived in entirely separate spaces, so only they could reach them.
Hearing his instructions, Gaia and Alaya sprang into action. They'd been itching to get involved since Takumi built the gateway and his energy started seeping through.
As for Prometheus, she was already well-networked and knew exactly what to do.
Initially, Gaia and Alaya had been wary of Takumi's Honkai energyit was like poison to the world itself. But now that it could become their own strength?
Delicious.
Once trembling with fear, they now charged forward.
At Takumi's command, they began spreading the word.
The massive changes in the world had already drawn the attention of many hidden beings. Now, as the truth came to light, shock spread across the populace.
