"Finally! I can meet her!"
Though they hadn't met, Yuuki Konno already regarded Asuna as her savior.
It didn't take long before the robot brought Asuna over.
Asuna and the others were dropped off.
Chika was the first to wave excitedly.
"Sagiri-chan! We're here!"
Sagiri greeted them with a bright smile.
"Welcome!"
Seeing her chat group friends in person made her genuinely happy.
Asuna's gaze immediately turned to the Konno sisters.
Seeing them healthy brought relief to her heart.
"Yuuki, this is Asuna."
Sagiri greeted Chika and then introduced Asuna to the Konno sisters.
Hearing her name, both girls lit up.
"Asuna-onee-chan!"
Yuuki immediately called out with affection.
Asuna smiled warmly.
"We finally meet. I'm so relieved to see you two doing well."
It was a heartfelt and harmonious reunion.
Soon, a robot appeared in front of them.
"Miss Yuuki, Miss Fujiwara..."
"Here are your ID cards and terminals. Inside are gifts from Lord Takumi."
"Also, your school enrollment certificates."
"Your house is just next door."
The robot handed them ID cards and keys to their new home.
They thanked it profusely.
The ID cards were linked to their bank accountsessentially a stipend from Takumi.
With these, they began settling down in Takumi's world.
As for Bronya, she followed Takumi back to his house.
She was surprised when she saw it.
"I thought your home would be more extravagant!"
"Didn't expect it to be so simple."
Just a small villaeven smaller than her own.
Takumi looked helpless.
"What do I need a huge house for?"
"Even going to the bathroom would be tiring."
"As long as it's livable, that's enough."
"This place is just right."
"If I really needed to, I could build a bigger house any time."
He didn't care much for such luxuries.
If he wanted them, they were always within reach.
Bronya thought about it and nodded.
Yeah, Takumi could literally build a city in seconds.
A house? That's nothing.
"Suit yourself. I'm going to power up."
With that, Takumi slipped away.
Since he was back, it was time to strengthen himself.
He finally had enough points.
Bronya felt a twinge of envy but said nothing.
She decided to stay.
Miori, seeing this, arranged a room for her and began chatting.
Not long after, Lilia arrived.
Not seeing Takumi, she looked around, puzzled.
Miori explained.
"Takumi's busy in his room."
Lilia didn't press and sat down, her gaze falling curiously on Bronya.
Bronya greeted her.
"I'm Bronya."
Lilia nodded.
"Just call me Lilia."
"Are you one of Takumi's?"
Did her being brought here mean she was also a close sister?
Bronya froze.
"Huh? N-No!"
"You've misunderstood!!"
She panicked, realizing what Lilia meant.
She rushed to clarify.
"You're not? Then why'd you come back with him?"
Lilia was curious.
If not, then why did Bronya return with Takumi?
That stumped Bronya.
She had simply thought it convenient.
And she wanted to ask what type of magic suited her.
Nothing more.
She looked at Lilia, exasperated.
"It's nothing like that. I just wanted to ask Takumi what magic I should learn."
"So, don't get the wrong idea."
Hearing that, Lilia nodded in understanding.
Miori also began pondering.
What kind of magic would suit Bronya?
Chapter 190: Please Dont Have Such Dangerous Thoughts!!
Does Bronya have a type of magic that suits her?
Her superpower is mechanical manipulation, so she should probably develop her skills in that direction, right?
Thinking this, Miori Shiba finally spoke up.
"Bronya, I think you should learn some support-type magic," she said. "And mainly study knowledge related to machinery. After all, your ability centers around mechanical systems."
She began laying out her ideas.
Hearing this, Bronya also started seriously considering the matter.
Liliya, who was nearby, couldn't help but chime in.
"If it's about magic, I can offer some suggestions. Tell me more about your situation."
She was quite experienced in magic, but she'd need more detail about Bronya's condition.
Bronya didn't hesitate and explained her abilities clearly.
The three of them continued their discussion in the courtyard.
Meanwhile, inside his room, Takumi had begun preparations for his own enhancement.
He wasn't in a rush. Before strengthening himself, he needed to handle a few things.
Checking his current points, Takumi was quite satisfied.
The second strengthening was fully funded. The third would likely come soonmaybe after just one more mission.
Takumi summoned Neo.
Neo was now a pool of black liquid, already dissected by Takumi countless times.
He had a complete understanding of its structure.
Now, he was ready to extract its abilities.
Before strengthening himself, he would fuse Neo's power into his own body. Then, during enhancement, his abilities would skyrocket to terrifying levels.
Neo, being a Gourmet Cell demon, was essentially made of black liquidthose were Gourmet Cells.
Takumi used his DNA manipulation ability to fuse Neo's cells with his own, making some selective adjustments.
There were aspects he didn't need.
Also, he still had Neet Princess's severed finger. That woman had gifted him some blood and flesh, which he hadn't used yet.
Perfect time to incorporate it.
With these intentions, Takumi began the operation.
Picking and choosing useful DNA, he proceeded to modify his own body.
Unlike before, this time he didn't transform entirely. Instead, he directly altered his body's internal structure.
Once done, a wave of intense hunger hit him.
Without hesitation, he used some points for healing.
Now that he had plenty of points, he could afford such luxury.
After spending 1,000 points, the hunger vanished.
Feeling the changes inside him, Takumi nodded in satisfaction.
It was definitely worth it.
With everything ready, Takumi activated his second strengthening.
This time it cost 10,000 points.
Next time, it would take 100,000.
Once he used the points, a surge of power descended upon him.
His strength exploded.
Eyes gleaming, Takumi could feel the transformation beginning.
His Herrscher authority was evolving.
That surprised him.
He now grasped his powers with far more finesse.
The power of the Herrscher of Reason underwent a revolutionary change.
Even things he didn't understandif he thought it should be possible, he could now create it.
"The Power of Self-Assertion?"
Realizing this, Takumi was amazed.
That must be it.
If he wished, he could now annihilate the entire Milky Way in a single thought.
He had officially reached galaxy-destroying levelor perhaps something even stronger.
After all, Takumi didn't need time. One thought was all it took.
Most people with that level of power still needed time to destroy a galaxy.
Feeling this incredible power, Takumi was extremely pleased.
He opened the chat and shared the news:
Takumi: [I'm invincible now!] [Strengthening complete. Totally worth the points~!]
People in the group chat quickly started responding.
Zhongli: [Already done? What level have you reached?]
He had enough points now and was considering enhancement himself.
He was curious how far Takumi had advanced.
Boros: [Details!!] [I'm super curious too.]
After one enhancement, Boros had become star-bursting level.
But Takumi was already strong, and now he had enhanced a second time.
Everyone wanted to know the outcome.
Takumi: [With one thought, I could destroy a whole galaxy.]
The chat exploded.
Fujiwara Chika: [Please don't even think such things!!]
Sagiri: [I don't want to vanish suddenly, Takumi-nii, please don't think dangerous thoughts!!]
Yuuki Asuna: [I'm still in your world, don't think dangerous thoughts!!]
Zhongli: [A bit outrageous, to be honest.]
Himeko: [I log in and this is the first thing I see?]
She couldn't help exclaiming.
This level of strength was terrifying.
Destroying a galaxy with a single thought?
Takumi could practically walk sideways across any world now.
Suoh Mikoto: [That's terrifying!!]
Ais: [Trembling!!]
Akeno: [Yikes!! Please don't think such dangerous things!!]
One by one, the group members reacted in shock.
They all pleaded: please, don't have such thoughts!
Destroying the Milky Way with a single thought? That's just too much!
Takumi: [Don't worry. I'm not that insane.] [Besides that, I've absorbed some of Neo's abilities.] [My imaginary space is now the size of a universe!!] [I also gained the ability to devour everythingany energy or substance can now nourish me.] [And some other powers too. Like Kaguya-hime's regeneration.]
He summarized his new capabilities in the chat.
Kaguya, who had been silently watching, immediately lost it at his last message.
Houraisan Kaguya: [Waithave you turned into an immortal like me?] [You're not human anymore either?!]
Chapter 191: Humans? Humans Arent This Ridiculous!!
Takumi looked at Kaguya's message and, for some reason, felt a hint of expectation in her tone.
But he wasn't a Lunarian.
He was still human!
He had simply fused with the talents of others.
Takumi: [Sorry, I'm still human!] [Sorry to disappoint!!]
Seeing that, Kaguya was speechless.
"I don't believe you, you bastard!!" "You're clearly not human anymore, okay?" "Have you ever seen a human as ridiculously strong as you?"
In her room, Kaguya couldn't help but rant.
Right away, she replied in the chat:
Houraisan Kaguya: [You're not human! You're a Herrscher!!] [Don't pretend to be human! Humans aren't this strong!!]
She refused to acknowledge Takumi as a human.
Fujiwara Chika: [Agreed!]
Fujiwara Chika totally supported the sentiment.
Indeed, Takumi had stopped being human long ago.
Seeing their messages, Takumi twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth.
"Whatever." "I can't be bothered to argue with them." "If I say I'm human, then I am." "Why would I need your approval?"
Takumi muttered and decided to drop the topic.
Saten Ruiko: [Made it home safe!] [No one invited me for tea!!] [(^^*)]
Saten was overjoyed.
She hadn't been called in after returning. It seemed no one had noticed anything.
Takumi was slightly surprised.
Had Aleister not noticed anything strange about Ruiko yesterday?
Or perhaps he did but didn't care?
Takumi: [He might've noticed but didn't think it was important, or he's secretly observing you.] [Just be careful.]
Takumi had no doubt about that sly guy's capabilities.
Seeing his message, Ruiko paused for a moment but quickly turned serious.
She couldn't let her guard down!
Grow quietly, no recklessness!
Once she became a Level 5, she'd shock everyone.
And maybe tweak some of the plot.
If things didn't work out, she'd just run!
Though her points weren't enough, a few more log-ins would solve that.
She could flee straight to Takumi's world. Let them come after her if they dared!
Saten Ruiko: [Got it!] [I'm going to quietly power up now!!] ?(?????)?
Fujiwara Chika: [Too bad. If you had more time, you could've studied abroad in Takumi's world.] [Although it's annoying to still have summer school,] [Improving your strength makes it worth it!!]
Study well, and once she mastered it all, she'd amaze everyone when she returned!
Zhongli: [I'm planning to undergo two rounds of enhancement as well.] [My points are sufficient for now.]
Currently in Takumi's world, he wasn't worried about Celestia waking up and causing trouble.
Takumi: [I'll come take a look!]
He closed the chat and teleported to Zhongli's location.
"Old man, you've never strengthened yourself before?"
Takumi looked at him with curiosity.
"No, I haven't." "I spent all my points on healing wear and tear before."
Zhongli shook his head.
He had used his points to recover his damaged body.
After all, healing was also a way to restore his strength.
Now, his wear and tear were healed, and he had accumulated more points.
So he decided to strengthen himself twice.
Takumi understood.
Zhongli had others to heal too.
"Do you have enough points?" "If not, I can lend you some."
Takumi looked at him.
Zhongli probably didn't have enough.
He still had to help Azhdaha with his recovery.
So he might be short.
"No need!" "I have enough right now." "I've already treated Ruotuo once." "He's recovered a good bit." "Taking it slow is fine."
Zhongli wasn't in a rush now.
Especially since Xiao had already been healed by Takumi.
So he needed fewer points.
"Alright." "If you ever need anything, just let me know."
Since Zhongli didn't need help now, Takumi dropped the subject.
They didn't dwell on it.
Zhongli began his enhancement.
As soon as he activated the first round, his aura surged.
His strength instantly doubled.
Feeling the changes, Zhongli was stunned.
"This power isn't uncontrollable." "With my current strength, I should be able to take on Celestia."
Zhongli was a warrior god by nature
He only started being reasonable later on.
His reputation in Teyvat had been earned in battle.
He never bowed to Celestia.
Now, with his power massively boosted, he felt he could challenge them.
A smile appeared on his face.
"One more!" "Let's go."
"I should hit planet-busting level, right?"
Zhongli could already destroy a continent easily.
The next step would be explosive star-level power.
Would he reach it?
Hearing him, Takumi nodded.
Zhongli didn't hesitate.
He used 10,000 points.
In an instant, his aura erupted.
A dense rocky presence spread outward.
Takumi quickly sealed the aura.
Didn't want to scare the kids.
Zhongli now felt an unprecedented surge of power.
Standing on the ground, he could feel the pulse of the entire planet.
If he wanted, he could destroy the whole planet.
He opened his eyesnow vertical pupils.
"By your previous scale, I should be Level 8 now?" "Explosive star-level power."
He sensed himself, then looked at Takumi.
Takumi checked and nodded.
"That's right!"
"Destroying a planet is pretty simple for you now."
Zhongli's power was linked to earth and stone.
Destroying a planet was indeed easy for him now.
