Anime chat group , you let me come only after the world is destroyed?

When Takumi appeared in Astral Zero, the elemental spirit realm, it immediately alerted the many spirit kings residing within.

Astral Zero was in danger?

In mere moments, several figures appeared before Takumi—all of them women.

These were the Spirit Kings:

The Fire Spirit King, Vulcanic — a girl in a crimson gown with long, dark red hair and curved horns.

The Wind Spirit King, Velfa Syphid — a mature warrior in a shrine maiden outfit, wielding a long spear.

The Earth Spirit King, Rode Gia.

The Water Spirit King, Isalia Shiva.

The Darkness Spirit King, Ren Ashdoll.

The Holy Spirit King, Alexander.

And... the Guardian Deity of the Realm, Terminus Est.

All of them appeared before Takumi. They had sensed him the moment he entered the realm.

After all, Takumi's immense power was practically bursting the realm at its seams.

"Oops."

"Looks like your world isn't within the protection range."

As he spoke, Takumi quickly retracted his aura.

He was speechless—upon arriving, his random teleportation talisman's protection effect had somehow deactivated.

Suppressing the urge to curse, Takumi turned his gaze toward the spirit kings.

"An otherworlder!"

The spirits watched him warily. The foreign energy emanating from him was just too overwhelming.

Especially now, when they were already struggling against dark forces from another world.

"I've come to take you away," Takumi said.

"Here, take this information first. Decide later. I need to head outside this world for a moment."

"Otherwise, this realm won't last much longer."

Without waiting for consent, Takumi launched streams of information directly into their minds.

Then he vanished on the spot.

With his departure, the crushing pressure on the realm lifted, and the spirit kings exhaled in relief.

Facing Takumi had truly shaken them.

Even if they joined forces, they wouldn't have stood a chance.

But soon, their attention shifted to the data Takumi had sent.

As they digested the information, their expressions froze.

They exchanged glances.

"So… what do we think?"

"He can eliminate the darkness?"

"His world seems pretty nice too."

"And if we go there, this entire world follows?"

"So we just go first?"

"Yes!"

"If the darkness isn't dealt with, we're finished."

"Agreed..."

After a brief discussion, the spirit kings reached a consensus.

There was no real reason to refuse.

Switching to another world actually sounded like a good deal.

If they remained and were consumed by the dark corruption, it was over.

Besides, their world would follow anyway. They'd just be the first to cross over.

As for whether Takumi might deceive them—that wasn't even a concern.

Someone with power like his had no need for deception.

Just his presence alone was enough to blow this realm apart.

If he truly wanted to act, could they resist?

Of course not. Which is why they all agreed.

And for the first time in a long while, they felt hope.

...

Meanwhile, Takumi had stepped outside the world.

He finally let out a breath of relief.

But the sight that greeted him left him stunned.

The Bladedance world was currently fusing with another world.

A small, dark one.

Astral Zero strongly resisted the fusion, but the dark world pressed forward relentlessly.

It was trying to force integration.

This made the dark world a malignant tumor, infecting the elemental realm.

Observing this, Takumi was astonished. This was the first time he'd seen such a phenomenon.

So this was how foreign darkness infected other realms?

With that thought, Takumi acted.

He erased the dark world entirely.

That world was already worthless—nothing but a poison to other realms.

Weaker worlds exposed to it would be destroyed in no time.

While it might be weaponized against certain realms, there was no reason to keep it around.

With a wave, Takumi severed and then obliterated the invading world.

As soon as he finished, the spirit kings felt it.

Just as they were rejoicing at the relief, Takumi pulled them out of their world.

They now stood outside, bewildered.

"It's done," Takumi said.

"So, what have you decided?"

He looked at them calmly.

The spirit kings nodded.

Est stepped forward.

"We agree," she said. "What do we need to do?"

This was the real Est—not a projection, but her true self.

No signs of the usual doll-like behavior.

"Then let's go."

"Enter my personal space first."

"Oh, and Miss Est, form a contract with me."

Takumi beamed as he looked at her.

There was no way he was leaving without that contract.

"Me?" Est blinked.

The other spirit kings looked at her in surprise.

"Yes," Takumi confirmed. "You."

"Of course, if all of you are willing, that's even better."

Naturally, Takumi wouldn't refuse anyone.

If all the spirit kings were willing to contract with him, it would be ideal.

"Fine!"

"I accept."

"So do I."

"Looking forward to working with you!"

"We entrust ourselves to you, noble one!"

Just like that, they could no longer remain calm.

Though they were spirit kings, their strength had limits.

A contract with someone like Takumi, whose power vastly exceeded theirs, was mutually beneficial.

It could only help them grow stronger.

Seeing them all agree made Takumi even more pleased.

"Tell me the terms of the contracts," he said.

"Let's do this."

Without hesitation, Takumi gave the command.

The spirit kings nodded.

Est went first. She transformed into a glowing sigil and merged with Takumi's right hand.

The others followed in turn.

Guided by Takumi, they all settled into his right hand.

Whenever needed, he could summon them directly.

And now, with their contracts signed, their energies began to convert into Honkai energy.

Their power steadily increased.
