Back on Takumi's side, he returned Klee and the others to his world and finalized the gateway connecting to the Type-Moon realm.
He wasn't placing the portal in any one cityinstead, he built it in a separate location. Once the entrance was complete, the task of constructing the city around it would go to Keqing.
With that settled, Takumi headed off to meet Gaia and Alaya.
They were currently basking in their newfound strength but rushed to greet him as soon as he arrived.
"What do you need, Boss?!" Gaia asked eagerly.
Even the typically aloof Alaya looked to him with interest. Only after entering Takumi's world did she truly understand the beauty of his power.
Steel Earth? What crisis?
Their only concern now was if something happened to Takumi's world. Otherwise, the Type-Moon world faced no threats.
Now that Takumi needed something from them, they were fully on board.
"Become the will of my world," Takumi said.
"From now on, you two will oversee all the sub-worlds. Form a contract with me and take on the role of my world's consciousness."
Hearing this, both women's eyes sparkled.
"Really? We can?"
If it was true, they certainly weren't turning it down. Joining Takumi's world sounded like an excellent deal.
"Of course you can," Takumi affirmed. "Come with me. You should be able to leave this world now."
"You were previously bound to the Type-Moon realm. But now, since it's part of my world, your bindings have shifted. Once we form a contract, you'll be my world's will."
Before, this might have been an issue. But now? No problem.
Without hesitation, Gaia and Alaya agreed.
"Good! We're in!!"
No delaysthey were ready.
Takumi promptly began forming the contracts. From this moment on, they were bound to him.
Once done, Takumi tore open a spatial rift.
"Let's go."
At his call, Gaia and Alaya quickly followed. Only after forming the contract did they truly feel Takumi's overwhelming power, which thrilled them.
As they entered Takumi's world, a mysterious transformation occurred.
They could feel something in the world calling to them.
"Go," Takumi said. "Replace this world's current will. Become it."
The rest was up to them.
The original, weak world consciousness had always obeyed Takumi. With his command, the outcome was certain.
Hearing his words, Gaia and Alaya nodded. They vanished from sight and began fusing with the existing world consciousness.
The old will merged with them seamlessly.
Once they began the process, Takumi could sense his world undergoing a transformation.
Most notably, the change was visible in him.
The Cocoon of the End had long since fused with Takumi. Now, it began to strengthen.
Laws of the Little Garden began to take shape.
The evolution had begun.
Chapter 539: Injured by an Unknown AOE
The most noticeable change to the world was that it had grown larger again. The horizon stretched even farther. Even flying into the sky no longer revealed the world's edge. Looking down from the air, one could no longer see curvatureonly an endless horizon. Only by leaving the atmosphere could one glimpse the curve of this massive world.
Besides the physical expansion, certain rules had begun to manifest. For example, everyone's abilities were starting to evolve, trending toward the concept of Gifts. Given some time, if Takumi distributed blank Gift Cards, people's abilities could begin to be traded. In addition, the rules from the world of "No Game No Life" had also started spreadingafter all, the Holy Grail from that world was in Takumi's hands.
Noticing these changes, Takumi was delighted. He had grown stronger again. Of course, he wasn't the only one benefiting; many others had received rewards from the strengthening world. In the group chat, many members were buzzing:
Fujiwara Chika: [Darn it, I got stronger again!!] [It feels amazing! Ever since the world leveled up, I've gained so much!]
Tokisaki Kurumi: [Space has become more stableteleportation is getting harder.] [Especially when entering neighboring realmsit filtered out a ton of people.]
Sagiri: [It's not just the space, even the world's energy has increased. My talismans are now at least twice as powerful.] [Amazing!!]
Shiroyasha: [This is just the beginning. You'll all grow even stronger.] [Doesn't it feel more fragrant than Little Garden?]
Izayoi Sakamaki: [Definitely. This world smells way better than Little Garden.]
Black Rabbit: [Agreed. It's delightful!] [I won't need to worry about being hungry ever again.]
Kasukabe Y: [You silly rabbit! Embarrassing yourself online again. Is your only dream really to not be hungry?] [Besides, you were never hungry in Little Garden!]
Kasukabe Y was speechless after seeing Black Rabbit's post. What a disgrace.
Kujou Asuka: [Has everyone gained something?]
Fujiwara Chika: [Probably, yes.]
Houraisan Kaguya: [Definitely! Especially those close to Takumipeople like me, Bronya, and Itsuki all gained more.]
Sagiri: [So jealous!!]
Megumi Katou: [Envy!!]
Takumi: [No need to be jealous. Just sleep together tonight!]
Seeing their envy, Takumi chuckled and posted this cheeky message. Jealous? No needjust sleep with him and you'll get stronger too.
His comment, however, earned eye-rolls from everyone.
Shiroyasha: [LOL! There's no way one bed fits everyone!]
Takumi: [?] [Then the whole world will be our bed.]
Shiroyasha: [Holy crap, you're playing that game now?]
Takumi: [You know it! Hey bro, want to join? I've always liked your horizon.]
After chatting with Shiroyasha for a bit, Takumi finally closed the group chat. Let the world evolve on its own. Complete transformation would take some time, and he wasn't in a hurry.
With most of his goals achievedmigrating Honkai, Type-Moon, and even unexpectedly Little GardenTakumi was finally free. The Little Garden twist had been a pleasant surprise, saving him a lot of effort.
All the hard work was done. Now it was just a matter of waiting for the transformation to complete. If he discovered other worlds, he'd migrate them too. He also had to wait for the worlds en route to arriveHonkai wouldn't take long.
Now with free time, Takumi began to wander. He wondered how Yuzuriha Inori and the others were doing. With that thought, he headed toward the school.
At this point, his world's first batch of students had graduatedlike Fujiwara Chika and her friends. They had completed their education. Takumi's biggest focus was the magic curriculum. Once you passed it, you could either graduate or continue your studies.
Naturally, Fujiwara Chika and the others had graduated. There was nothing left for them to learn. In Takumi's world, they were VIP users who could easily access all kinds of knowledge. With access to the group chat and strengthening tools, they barely needed to study.
If needed, they could even spend a few points to purchase knowledge packs from the group's shopTakumi had uploaded plenty of content. So after completing the magic curriculum, they graduated immediately.
They knew far more than most students. If regular students could graduate, they certainly could. Staying in school would just waste time.
Takumi found Yuzuriha Inori. She and the others had just begun advanced studies in Takumi's academy, starting magic from scratch. Surprisingly, Inori had excellent magical talent and was learning quickly. She also got along well with her classmates.
Takumi peeked in on Inori and left shortly after. Inori, in the middle of class, sensed something and glanced out the windowbut saw nothing. Takumi had already vanished.
She didn't think much of it and returned to her lessons. Perhaps a powerful person had just passed by. There were many powerful beings in Takumi's world. After being here for so long, she had come to understand the placethere really were that many strong people.
Although most had gone into neighboring realms, some chose to stay and wander around Takumi's world. Occasionally, one might see a powerhouse walk by the school.
...
Takumi left the school, strolled around, played with a few lolis, and eventually entered the neighboring realm. Ever since he created it, he hadn't been back. Now that he had time, he decided to visit.
However, the moment he entered, a giant energy cannon blasted him in the face.
Caught off guard, Takumi was stunned. Instinctively, he slapped the beam away and took a good look at the situation.
"Heaven's Strike!"
A Flgel was battling a Draconic Essence Species. The energy cannon had come from the dragon, and the Flgel dodged before countering with her own powerful Heaven's Strike.
Chapter 540: Tell Me in Detail, I Love It
The Winged species clearly wasn't Kogai, and the Draconic species wasn't one Takumi recognized either. As Takumi observed the battlefield before him, he fell into deep thought.
This space had completely turned into a massive battlefield. The Winged and Draconic species were locked in intense combat. Besides them, there were also Forest species presentall from the world of No Game No Life. It seemed that since they couldn't fight in their own world, they had all come here to vent.
Who knew how long they had been fighting? The space had become a wreck. Though it occasionally self-repaired, it still looked like a complete mess. Clearly, this place had only recently turned into such chaos.
Takumi remembered the terrain here wasn't supposed to be like this. "Tsk." He clicked his tongue and sighed. These people had clearly gone wild.
"Takumi-nyaa~! What are you doing here, nya?" Just as Takumi was about to leave, Azrael suddenly appeared behind him. It wasn't surprisingafter all, someone entering this battlefield wouldn't go unnoticed.
This place had essentially become the arena for many from the No Game No Life world. You could pick whoever you wanted to beat up. If you were losing, you could just leave the space and escape.
If Takumi checked Prometheus's data, he'd definitely find that his world was constantly spitting out heavily injured people in the wildernessmost likely those retreating from this very battlefield.
Takumi turned to see Azrael, who looked thoroughly beat upbut she hadn't reverted into a loli form. They were all using Honkai energy now.
"You lost?" Takumi asked, a bit surprised by her ragged appearance.
"Hmph! Kogai doesn't play fair! She sneak-attacked me, nya!! So unfair, nya. Otherwise, Azrael wouldn't have lost!"
Apparently, her injuries weren't from a Draconic species, but from Kogai's dirty tricks. Takumi chuckled. "That bad, huh? So you're all settling grudges here?"
He glanced again at the chaotic battle where people occasionally vanished and reappeared. Maybe he should open a hospital? Or have Mobius collect their DNA samples while they were knocked out?
WaitMobius had probably already collected their DNA. There's no way she'd miss out on rare species samples.
"Exactly, nya! I love this place. Way better than staying in Abant, nya! And this isn't even the scariest spotthe other zone is much worse. Altair-sama is over there fighting other gods. It's terrifying. If the space wasn't so solid, the fight would've spilled out long ago.
"But Altair-sama said some guy named Aha got salty after losing and just ran away. He told us if we ever see him, make sure to curse him out properly, nya.
"Takumi-sama, do you know who Aha is? Can you roast him online for me? I asked Prometheus for help, but she refused, nya!"
Azrael quickly filled Takumi in and even shared a little gossip. Takumi burst into laughter. Aha really had no pride!
"Sure thing! Prometheus, you heard that? Get this trending! Title it 'Shocking! A certain cosmic god couldn't take the L!'"
Takumi had no problem throwing fuel on the fire. He didn't expect Aha to be such a sore loserand to straight-up run away?
But honestly, that was totally something Aha would do. The guy's dignity was questionable.
Prometheus immediately began handling it. She already knew the context, so she pushed out the post directly.
"Done," came her reply. Instantly, everyone received a push notification.
Seeing the alert, Azrael cheered. "Thank you, Takumi-sama, nya!! This is amazing!"
Her eyes sparkled as she read the headline. That guy must be super embarrassed now!
Takumi was equally amused. Meanwhile, everyone who knew Aha stared at their terminals in confusion.
At the Herta Space Station, Herta stared at the news with a stunned expressionlike a grandparent figuring out smartphones. So did other members of the Genius Society. Some even laughed out loud.
"Hahaha~! As expected of Lord Aha. So shameless! 666!"
The news had everyone laughing.
Herta's mouth twitched. It had to be Takumi behind this. Who else could get Prometheus to push a global alert?
Aha, of course, received the message too. But instead of being mad, he was thrilled.
"Hahaha~! Aha is famous now! People from so many worlds know me! So happythis is amazing!"
While others were speechless, Aha was overjoyed.
In Takumi's group chat, his friends responded:
Fujiwara Chika: [@Takumi, what are you doing? What's with this news?]
Boros: [I was there. Aha really did embarrass himself.]
Sagiri: [Shocking!! You guys party this hard?!]
Izayoi: [The Neighboring Realm is super fun. Crazy stuff happens daily. This is nothingrecently a Draconic species got...]
Takumi: [??] [Details!! I love it!!]
Fujiwara Chika: [Can we not talk about weird things here?! There are a lot of girls in this group, you know!!]
Seeing the convo going off-track, Fujiwara Chika quickly stepped in. Weren't they supposed to be discussing the news?
[Group Member 'Takumi' has started a livestream.]
At that moment, Takumi opened a livestream and broadcast the scene before him.
"If you guys have time, you should totally check this place out. Neighboring Realm Grand Arenaif you can fight, then come! You'll definitely find a worthy opponent!"
He gestured toward the battlefield that looked like an apocalyptic war zone.
Everyone in the group went silent.
You want us to go there to get wrecked?
Just stepping in would probably get us instantly wiped out by some unknown AOE attack.
And you're recommending this death zone to us?!
Chapter 541: Losing to the shiroyasha Was Just Too Embarrassing
Everyone in the group suspected that Takumi was trying to set them up.
The Interdimensional Realm was so dangerous, and yet he actually wanted them to go there? That was pure malice!
However, looking at the situation on the screen, everyone found it hard to believe. How much time had passed, and the Interdimensional Realm was already like this?
