No big deal.
Hearing that, Takumi nodded.
Alright then, it was a day to go shopping with Zhuyun.
Ch. 703 My Cat Can Do Backflips!
Zhu Yun naturally grabbed Takumi's arm.
Then she smiled and chatted with Takumi.
The two were hanging out and chatting at the same time.
Zhu Yun was actually very familiar with the surroundings.
After all, she often came here.
"The business environment on our side is actually very good."
"A lot of people are willing to come to us for business."
"There are many worlds where deals are made in private."
"But if you want to transport things to other worlds, then you have to go through our world."
"For now, we're able to collect a lot of taxes every day."
"A lot of people have asked us if we can set up some direct routes to other worlds."
"Because it has to go through us every time, the cost becomes much higher."
"After all, you have to come from that side and then go to other worlds through the world gate on the other side."
"Some world gates aren't even on Earth, and they have to go into space."
"Engong, what do you think we should do?"
"Should we build one?"
As they walked, she chatted with Takumi about some work matters.
She was actually very concerned about this issue.
After all, if the world-direct connection was opened, less tax would be collected.
Hearing Zhu Yun say this, Takumi thought for a moment and said:
"No need."
"After all, we are a transit point for every world."
"If they think the tax is too high, it can be slightly reduced."
"All worlds will pass through our world anyway."
"If taxes are reduced, there will only be more goods coming in."
"If we build a separate passage, it may lead to chaos."
"Having our side as a transit point solves a lot of problems."
Takumi absolutely did not approve of specially built passages.
Are you kidding?
Wouldn't that lead to direct conflict later?
If they had the ability to build it themselves, Takumi wouldn't object.
But the construction rights belonged to Takumi, so he naturally wouldn't allow it.
If you want to trade, you must go through Takumi's world.
At most, the tax can be lowered a little.
Zhu Yun nodded.
"That's what I thought too."
"Since Lord Takumi thinks so, then it's fine."
"I'll discuss reducing taxes with Miss Ningguang."
Zhu Yun accompanied Takumi around the city (CIEA) for a long time.
At night, she said she had a backflip cat at home and invited Takumi to see it.
Hearing this, Takumi immediately became curious.
Without hesitation, he followed.
So he didn't return that night.
When Bronya saw Takumi didn't come home, she was speechless.
But she didn't say anything.
The night passed uneventfully, and the next morning, Zhu Yun went to work as usual.
And Takumi had things to do.
The Quantum Sea now covered all worlds, and the Tree of Imaginary Numbers had been moved to the Overworld.
After sending Zhu Yun off, Takumi went straight to the Quantum Sea of the Honkai world.
Sensing Takumi's presence, Kana ran over as quickly as she could.
"You're so slow!"
She was a little dissatisfied.
Takumi had promised her earlier, but only came now.
That was just too much.
Hearing her words, Takumi felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry!"
"I almost forgot."
This was Takumi's fault.
When being scolded, he stood up straight.
So he quickly apologized.
Seeing Takumi apologize so sincerely, Kana nodded in satisfaction.
"Shall we begin?"
"How?"
Kana looked at Takumi with anticipation.
Takumi was already here, so it was time to spread the Quantum Sea to other worlds.
"First, spread the Quantum Sea to the other worlds."
"Then move the Tree of Imaginary Numbers out."
"I'll handle it."
"Just watch."
Naturally, Kana didn't need to do anything.
Takumi had to manage everything himself.
Kana couldn't help much.
She wasn't surprised by this answer.
She nodded and stepped aside.
Then Takumi raised his hand.
He had to completely open the world barriers of the Honkai World first.
Then he would control the Quantum Sea to spread to other worlds.
Merge with them.
At the same time, he needed to construct a huge world barrier across many worlds.
This barrier would contain the Quantum Sea.
After thinking a bit, Takumi began.
His power radiated outward.
Then his entire body became illusory.
His figure appeared in the sky above the Honkai World.
People in the Crashing Iron World sensed his power.
At that moment, Takumi's power was overwhelming.
Even his destiny was revealed.
This made many people realize something.
Some even wanted to connect with Takumi's fate.
But Takumi rejected them.
He didn't need that.
And the star gods were puzzled when they saw Takumi.
What was he doing?
Before they could figure it out, the barriers of the world began to vanish.
Then the Quantum Sea began to boil.
The star gods were suddenly alarmed.
The Quantum Sea began to surge violently.
Under Takumi's control, it began to expand in all directions.
Those stationed outside the world saw it too.
When the Honkai World's barriers vanished, Kosmo was confused.
He thought that world was about to collapse.
Thankfully, Prometheus warned him just in time.
Otherwise, Kosmo might have rushed over.
Under Takumi's control, the Quantum Sea expanded and covered all the worlds.
The worlds it touched rippled with energy.
But there was no harm done.
The Quantum Sea started connecting all the worlds.
If scientists observed the quantum reactions, they would've been stunned.
When Takumi had covered all the other worlds with the Quantum Sea,
Kana's side also had a noticeable reaction.
She felt her range of movement had expanded.
Now she could go wherever she wanted.
But Takumi still wasn't finished.
He began dealing with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.
He removed it from the Triple Jumper world.
And rooted it in Takumi's world.
Thanks to Takumi's intervention, the Honkai World had also shrunk significantly.
Adding in the new world barriers,
The world within was now fused with the outside.
Previously, it was surrounded by a massive world bubble.
But now, like the other worlds, it became part of Takumi's world.
And they didn't have to worry about falling into the Quantum Sea.
Because as long as Takumi's main world was intact,
They would be safe too.
Ch. 704 Feels Like I Missed Billions!
After Takumi transferred the Tree of Imaginary Numbers,
the Tree of Imaginary Numbers was still very happy.
Takumi could clearly feel the aura coming from it.
After all, it would now be completely bound to Takumi.
But it wasn't over yet.
Takumi still needed to restrain the Quantum Sea,
as well as the worlds he had released.
Takumi got busy.
He began building a massive world wall-fortress.
This was also a major project for Takumi.
It took many days.
Cana had been watching the whole time,
occasionally running off to explore other worlds.
Like a child with a new toy,
she wandered around to see how the world was developing.
Meanwhile, Takumi's absence over the past few days left Bronya a little puzzled.
Had he been staying on the other side with Zhuyun?
When Takumi didn't come home, she asked in the group.
Bronya:
[Takumi, where did you go?]
But Takumi didn't reply.
He was busy.
Shiroyasha:
[We're building world barriers beyond the world.]
[Didn't you notice?]
Even though Takumi didn't speak,
Shiroyasha answered Bronya's question.
Seeing the message, Bronya was briefly stunned.
Bronya:
[I did sense something earlier. I thought it was already done.]
So, it wasn't done yet.
She thought Takumi was still with Zhuyun.
He's still busy?
She grumbled inwardly and didn't dwell on it.
She never really paid attention to what was happening outside the world.
After all, those things were Takumi's domain.
Others in the group became curious.
Chika Fujiwara:
[So, what does the world look like now?]
[I'm curious!]
Takumi had been busy outside the world.
Surely things must've changed.
Shiroyasha:
[There's just a world barrier added to many worlds.]
[The world became much bigger.]
[Nothing too surprising.]
Variation?
Not really.
At most, countless small spheres became one giant sphere,
which would keep attracting more outer worlds,
expanding itself further.
It was like installing a cosmic magnet.
And this was Takumi's doing.
Previously, even the Little Garden couldn't build such a vast world barrier.
The entire Little Garden couldn't be constructed into one unified world.
Had it been built that way back then,
things wouldn't have ended the way they did.
A true world barrier would've locked all internal worlds.
Even if someone removed Little Garden's core, its worlds wouldn't collapse.
Now that Takumi had built it, things were going well.
Sagiri:
[Got it! A giant ball filled with lots of small balls!]
Shiroyasha:
[Exactly!]
[That's correct.]
Ruiko Saten:
[Does this affect the world? Or rather, does it affect us?]
Ruiko was curious.
Would Takumi's actions have any impact inside the world?
Shiroyasha:
[Not really.]
[World-level changes don't affect the people inside.]
[But in the future, anyone entering this world from another will be unable to leave.]
[In other words, you get in, but you can't get out unless someone opens the door.]
Takumi had effectively built a courtyard wall around his house.
Entering was fine.
But leaving without permission would require someone pulling you out.
Now they understood.
It was simple enough.
While everyone chatted, Takumi finally bubbled up.
He'd completed his task.
Takumi:
[That's done!]
[Now it's a one-time fix.]
[Bronya, I'm coming home.]
Bronya:
[(a)]
[Phew!]
No need to say more.
Right after sending the message, Takumi appeared in front of her.
Bronya looked up and couldn't help but complain.
"I thought that fox drained you dry."
Foxes were known to be tempting.
Takumi had been gone for days. She thought he was still with Zhuyun.
Hearing that, Takumi smiled.
"Are you jealous?"
A teasing toneclearly.
"Hmph!"
Bronya didn't say more.
You should know yourself.
New love, forgotten old love.
Judging by her expression, Takumi knew she was jealous.
That made him happy.
Still, he hurried to console her.
After dealing with the Quantum Sea and Tree of Imaginary Numbers,
there wasn't much visible change in the world.
But external attraction skyrocketed.
In a few days, more and more worlds locked onto Takumi's.
These worlds started moving toward it.
Even worlds connected via the random access gate sprang into action.
One after another, they surged toward Takumi's realm.
With each new arrival, Takumi's world grew stronger.
And Takumi himself gained small enhancements.
Minor, but still beneficial.
With enough worlds, quantity would become quality.
Takumi's strength would continue to rise.
"Tsk, if I'd known I'd benefit like this, I'd have done it sooner."
Feeling the power, Takumi couldn't help but joke.
Even a small gain was still something.
Had he done it earlier, he'd be even stronger now.
"What did you say?"
Bronya, who was working remotely nearby, heard him muttering.
What was that about?
"I've gotten stronger!"
"It's from creating that huge world barrier."
Takumi explained everything again.
Bronya nodded blankly.
"Not surprising."
"Your strength is tied to civilization itself."
"And now that barrier binds you to all worlds."
Originally, Takumi was tied to just one world.
Now he was linked to countless others.
Without a barrier, it wouldn't matter.
But now that there is one,
it makes all the difference.
Ch. 705 Tomoyo: Shouldve Said No!!
Takumi's current world is the same as the previous Honkai side.
Surrounded by a large world and countless smaller worlds.
Now Takumi's world has become like that.
Centered on Takumi's original world, and then built a super large world bubble that shrouded so many worlds.
Therefore, the civilization bound to Takumi is also connected to other worlds.
Hearing Bronya say this, Takumi couldn't help but nod.
Indeed, that's right.
"But most of the people who are attracted to it now are from the ordinary world."
"There are really few worlds with a little power."
"Come to think of it, the entire dimensional world is probably more of an ordinary world."
"Just like human society, most of them are powerful ordinary people."
"The elite world is only a minority."
Sensing the world situation that came by, Takumi couldn't help but sigh.
But if a few high-level worlds came, then Takumi's strength would also be greatly enhanced.
It's a pity that most of the worlds out there are ordinary ones.
"Normal."
"Maybe there will be more high-level worlds in the future."
"You don't have to worry about it."
"There's always one or two big worlds coming along."
"After all, once the numbers increase, there will always be some high-quality ones."
"Let's see if we can find them."
"Unless you say, there are worlds like ours in the dimensional world that attract other worlds."
"Hakoniwa used to be a good example of this."
"But it is not ruled out that there are other such worlds."
"Anyway, you can get stronger just by lying down."
Bronya also stopped abruptly as she said this.
She carefully sensed her strength.
Well, she had reaped the benefits, too.
"I seem to have received some gifts, too."
"We, the Lawgivers, are bound to you, and the Lawgiver's core you gave us is now benefiting as well."
After making sure it was correct, Bronya also shared the news.
In this regard, Takumi was not very surprised.
"After all, many Lawgivers are now the core of this world!"
"So don't be surprised."
"You'll only get more in the future."
While the two were chatting about this, others also began to feel it.
Although it was only a slight increase in strength, everyone was still very surprised.
