At that moment, Yukino Yukinoshita and Hana Shirakaki stood bewildered in a forest.
They were completely confused.
Why had they suddenly appeared here?
Yukino frowned deeply.
Was this some supernatural event?
"Sis, where are we?"
Hana was clearly nervous.
The fact that she wasn't already crying was impressive.
Yukino heard Hana and snapped out of her daze.
She looked around and shook her head.
"I don't know."
"Looks like we've stumbled into something paranormal?"
Her expression turned grim.
She didn't want to deal with this.
It was not fun at all
Hana glanced at Yukino, then at the ground.
Suddenly she realized something.
The invitation!
She hurriedly picked up the invitation letter lying on the ground.
"The invitation!"
"This is it!"
"I opened it and then ended up here."
She felt like she had uncovered the truth.
She quickly explained it to Yukino.
Yukino blinked.
She still held a few books.
Invitation?
She quickly pulled out the one that had appeared in her room.
Seeing it, her eyes widened.
It was identical to Hana's.
So it was real.
The invitation had brought them here.
"This!!"
Hana noticed it too.
"Looks like we really are in some supernatural event."
"It's almost dark. Let's get out of this forest first!"
Yukino looked around.
This place didn't feel safe.
They needed to find shelter.
Otherwise, they'd have to spend the night here.
Who knew how big the forest was?
Yukino was extremely unwilling to deal with this situation.
But she had no choice.
Especially since she had a little girl with her.
As the older one, it was her duty to protect her.
Just as Yukino was about to lead Hana out
A spatial rift suddenly opened.
Two beautiful girls stepped through.
"Hello there~!"
Seeing the rift, Yukino's eyes widened.
This world had such power?
Who were these two?
"No need to be nervous."
"We're not bad people."
"I'm Yuuki Asuna."
"She's Yotsuya Miko."
"Welcome to the other world~!"
Asuna smiled warmly and introduced themselves.
Yukino raised the invitation in her hand.
"You sent this?"
"And this really is another world?"
From those few words, she had already gathered quite a bit of information.
Chapter 586: Another Newcomer
The two girls in front of them were clearly recognized.
It was likely that the invitation letters came from them as well.
This was no longer their original world. Just like in certain anime, they had crossed into another world.
When Yukino Yukinoshita heard that, Asuna smiled.
"The invitations weren't sent by me. They were distributed by the master of this world."
"A total of twenty were sent out. More than half of the recipients have already arrived."
"Come with me, this isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere more suitable. I'll explain the situation to you slowly."
With that, Asuna led the way, with Miko following. They brought Yukino and Hana Shirasaki through a spatial rift, arriving in a residential district.
This was where Asuna lived.
She brought the two girls directly to her home. As a single woman, Asuna lived alone; her parents had their own business, so there was no issue having guests overnight.
"Come in, make yourselves comfortable," she invited.
Asuna got drinks and snacks ready while Miko began explaining the nature of this world.
She also summoned a mechanical assistant to help them register identification.
Both girls received a terminal device and, under Miko's guidance, learned how to use it.
Gradually, they began to understand more about this world. It was a remarkable placeconnected to countless others.
"Now that you've arrived here, your world will also eventually be linked."
"Takumi-kun will transport your world here."
"If you wish to return, you can use your invitation letter to go back."
"And since it's nighttime in your world, you're welcome to rest here and return tomorrow."
"Who knowsby tomorrow, your world might already be connected."
"Although, your families might worry."
Upon hearing that, Hana Shirasaki immediately raised her hand.
"Miko-nee, I want to go home later!"
She couldn't leave her mother worrying. She was just a child, after all.
Miko nodded. "Alright! No problem. What about you, Yukinoshita-san?"
At that moment, Asuna returned with drinks and snacks, having overheard the conversation from the kitchen thanks to her strong abilities.
"I'll return too. But I have a question. How do you know my name?"
Yukino looked at both of them.
They clearly knew her, but she wasn't from this world.
"Of course. You can ask Prometheus to search for your names. Your information appears in various forms in other worlds, so we naturally have it."
Asuna didn't hide anything. Basic information about them existed in Takumi's world, though much of it had been edited.
Yukino quickly began searching her name. A flood of information popped up.
Hana did the same and found their profiles.
Reading the details, Yukino was astonished.
Their world's information actually existed in this alternate universe?
What if the novels she read were also depictions of actual worlds?
Thinking about it, she started to understand.
Shortly after, the two girls left to return home. Since they now knew their worlds would be relocated, there was no need to stay longer.
They exchanged contact info with Asuna and Miko before departing.
After settling everything, Asuna messaged Takumi in the group chat.
Yuki Asuna: [All done!] [They went back for now.] [Tomorrow, you can relocate their world.]
Takumi replied that it wasn't a problem and didn't bother further.
Two regular worldsnothing special.
As for Yukino Yukinoshita, Takumi wasn't that interested. Too ordinary. Not even as intriguing as Liliya.
But the group's otakus loved her type, so he'd leave that to them.
After chatting in the group for a bit, Takumi went to rest.
The next day, Takumi began his task.
He went directly to Yukino's world to relocate it.
By the time everything was in place, it was already afternoon.
With the two worlds settled, everything else was handed off to Prometheus.
Another two worlds addedTakumi was in a great mood.
The more worlds he gathered, the faster his own would evolve.
Now it was just a matter of waiting for more worlds to arrive.
When the Halloween Queen and her group showed up, the worlds from Little Garden would likely begin moving too.
It wouldn't be long before more worlds migrated to Takumi's side.
Some might even bring additional worlds along.
Little Garden held many powerful realms.
The only concern was interference from those still within Little Garden.
But even then, what could they really do?
There were just too many worlds.
While some might be forcibly held back, most would join Takumi.
Even if a few didn't, that was fine.
However, if too many were intercepted, Takumi would have to act.
After all, that would hinder his growth.
In the future, worlds would become Takumi's lifeline. Blocking them was like cutting off his path.
If that happened, he'd have no choice but to make a move.
But that was a matter for later.
For now, it seemed the chat group had a new member.
The last one to join was Gabriel.
This time, a male had entered the group.
And he was... quite special.
Chapter 587: Is Dragon Essence Okay?
[Zeref has joined the chat group.]
When Takumi saw the notification, he was quite surprised.
Zeref?
Takumi: [Zeref from the Fairy Tail world?] [Welcome, newcomer!]
Bronya: [Welcome, newcomer.]
Chika Fujiwara: [Welcome, newcomer.]
Sagiri: [Welcome, welcome!!]
Zhongli: [Finally, a male comrade has joined the group. Let's have a drink sometime.]
Zerefthe black mage from Fairy Tail.
Zeref: [.....] [Another world!] [May I ask... is there anyone who can kill me?] [If so, please help me!]
At this moment, Zeref stared at the chat group, a faint glimmer of hope returning to his eyes. Perhaps someone from another world could kill him.
Nyaruko: [I knew it!!!] [Cursed, right? No big deal. You don't need to beg for death!] [Curses are nothing to us.] [Why die? Don't you want to reunite with Mavis and your son?]
Zeref's pupils shrank when he saw Nyaruko's message.
Mavis and his son?
Zeref's magic surged violently. His pitch-black pupils turned even darker.
Takumi: [I'll head over to your world.] [Give me a moment, and let's talk properly!]
Seeing Zeref join the group, Takumi became interested. After sending that message, he spent 1000 points to travel across worlds.
It had been a while since he spent points like this. Consider it a splurge today.
The Fairy Tail world held memories for himhe still remembered how fired up he got watching it as a kid when the music played.
Now that this world had appeared, of course he had to go.
Zeref frowned upon seeing Takumi's message, but before he could react, Takumi had already appeared before him.
Seeing someone approach, Zeref immediately shouted, "Don't come near me!!"
If anyone came close, they would die!
His power would strip away life.
"No big deal! Don't worry."
Takumi casually waved away the aura of death emanating from Zeref.
What level of curse was this?
How dare it make noise in front of him?
Ridiculous!
Not only did Takumi disperse Zeref's erupting magic, he also lifted the curse on Zeref.
In that moment, Zeref was stunned.
How strong was this man?
Zeref was completely shocked.
"Alright, let's sit and talk."
Takumi manifested two chairs and a table, then sat down.
He took out some food from his imaginary space.
Seeing this, Zeref hesitated but eventually took a seat.
Facing Zeref, Takumi began chatting with him about the chat group, the Fairy Tail world, and how he planned to integrate this world.
Hearing the explanation, Zeref was amazed.
This chat group was truly formidable.
Although the system had provided him with some background information when he joined, it wasn't until he heard it firsthand that he realized how powerful the group really was.
Then came the matter of Takumi's world.
"So you came here to move this world into yours?" Zeref asked.
"Exactly. The other members' worlds are already connected to mine."
"By switching to a new stage, your people can grow better."
"And your world will become even stronger."
Zeref nodded.
Moving the world, huh? He didn't mind.
What really concerned him was what Nyaruko said in the group earlier.
Zeref finally asked what had been bothering him.
"That person in the chat mentioned my son?"
Takumi nodded.
"Yes. You and Mavis have a son. His name is August."
Takumi pulled up his terminal and displayed information from Zeref's world.
"You can take a look for yourself."
He pushed the screen toward Zeref.
Zeref frowned at first, but soon became engrossed in the information.
His expression alternated between frowns and surprise.
After reading it all, Zeref was overwhelmed with emotion.
"Is this all real?"
Zeref was nervous. What if it was all fake?
"Of course it's real. Why would I lie to you?"
"You can verify everything yourself. Mavis is on Tenrou Island. And your son? You should know exactly where he is."
"He's been right under your nose the whole time, and you didn't even realize."
Takumi couldn't help but tease.
Neither Mavis nor Zeref knew they had a child.
And August was raised by Zeref himself!
"Yeah," Zeref admitted. "He was right in front of me, and I never knew."
Guilt flashed in Zeref's eyes.
"Alright, now you know. Go do what you need to."
"I'll wander around this world and start moving it soon."
"We'll talk again later."
"For now, go reunite with your family."
With that, Takumi stood up.
He was ready to begin transferring the world.
Zeref nodded.
"Alright."
He had no objections.
Right now, he just wanted to find his son.
The two parted ways.
Takumi began exploring the world.
Upon arriving, a torrent of knowledge from this world had already poured into his mind.
Give it a few more hours, and he would have absorbed it all.
The magic knowledge of this world was vast.
Any magic that existed hereTakumi could obtain it.
That alone made him happy.
...
Takumi roamed the world.
He paid a visit to Fairy Tail's headquarters.
The story had just begun.
Lucy had just run away from home.
Natsu was searching everywhere for dragons.
But that story would probably go off-script tomorrow.
Because this world would soon be linked to Takumi's world.
Want dragons?
No problem.
Would a dragon essence species do?
Chapter 588: Targeted Against All Races
Takumi wandered around the Fairy Tail world without contacting Natsu and the others.
There was no need.
Just observing from the shadows was enough.
After playing around in this world and absorbing all of its knowledge, Takumi began taking action.
He started the process of relocating the entire world.
Everything proceeded smoothly.
Once it was all completed, Takumi returned.
The Fairy Tail world was quite large.
Much larger than an average world.
It could be considered a very high-quality world.
There were even other smaller worlds within it.
Although few, they still made it quite remarkable.
With the Fairy Tail world in tow, Takumi returned to his own world.
After settling the new world and constructing the portal, Takumi left its management to the Mechanoids.
Since there was no internet in this world, Prometheus couldn't take over.
So the Mechanoids had to handle everything.
A large number of Mechanoids arrived and began organizing the integration.
Once everything was in place, giant screens appeared in the towns and cities of the Fairy Tail world.
The Mechanoids even clashed with some members of local guilds.
But the guild members were utterly defeated.
Takumi paid no attention to these matters.
He trusted the Mechanoids to handle them.
If any issues arose, they would notify him.
When Takumi returned home, Bronya was a little surprised.
"Back so soon?"
"That 1,000 points were totally not worth it!"
"It would've been better to just mark the world and warp over."
