Chapter 464: Chapter 464: No Coordinates, Who Knows?
Currently, there were actually quite a lot of angels in Heaven. After merging with numerous worlds, Gabriel had instructed the angels to descend and search for suitable candidates. If they were willing, they would be brought back and allowed to reincarnate as angels.
Now, Heaven already had hundreds of thousands of angels. All of these were collected from various worlds. Just in terms of numbers, this already exceeded the number of angels Gabriel had back in the DXD world.
Bigger, better, aiming for glory once more. Gabriel figured that when the Lord returned, He'd be utterly shocked.
Mayumi had great potential. If she reincarnated as an angel, she could very well become a Ten-Winged Angel, or perhaps even a Twelve-Winged one. At the very least, she could reach Eight-Winged Angel level.
Upon hearing Gabriel's invitation, Mayumi perked up.
"Yes! I'm willing."
She came here with Takumi precisely to become an angel, so of course she wouldn't refuse.
"Alright. Please follow me. I'll take you to the Angel Rebirth Pool."
Gabriel didn't hesitate and immediately activated a teleportation magic circle, bringing Mayumi and Takumi along with her. The Angel Rebirth Pool wasn't located here.
The three vanished and soon reappeared in a region rich in light-elemental energy. Many angels were stationed here — all female. Takumi was the only male allowed in this place.
In the center, there was a large pool. If Takumi peeked inside, he'd see that many people were already soaking within. They were wrapped in spheres of light as their bodies underwent transformation — shedding their human form and becoming angels.
"Mayumi, go ahead and get in the pool. You'll likely need to soak for two or three days. Let your parents know so they don't worry."
Takumi, very familiar with this process, reminded Mayumi to inform her parents before entering the pool. Gabriel nodded in agreement — it was definitely necessary.
"Okay!"
Mayumi didn't argue. She immediately took out her terminal and, after confirming it could send messages, asked Prometheus to notify her parents.
Once everything was settled, she looked at Takumi. Takumi gave her an encouraging nod.
"Go ahead. Angels inside will assist you."
With a final glance, Mayumi stepped forward and entered the pool. After she left, Gabriel winked at Takumi and teleported both of them back to her residence.
Inside the room, Gabriel immediately threw herself into Takumi's arms.
"Hehe~ I held back earlier because Mayumi was there. I missed you so much."
...
After entrusting Mayumi to the rebirth pool, Takumi and Gabriel no longer concerned themselves with it. With Gabriel now free, they wandered around for a while. Later that night, Takumi brought Gabriel back home, where she finally met Tomoyo.
Gabriel took an immediate liking to the gentle Tomoyo. If possible, she really hoped Tomoyo could become an angel too. No — she already was one in essence. Though not of that race, her personality was angelic.
"By the way, Takumi, isn't akeno's world moving closer to ours? How far is it now? Hopefully it doesn't take forever to arrive, right?"
Upon seeing Gabriel, Kaguya suddenly recalled that the DXD world was approaching their own due to Great Red.
"No idea. There's no coordinate tracking — who knows where it is?"
Faced with Tomoyo's curiosity, Takumi admitted he had no clue. He didn't have some kind of immoral navigation system — how was he supposed to know?
"Emm... let's ask akeno. If they've stopped moving, it means they've arrived."
Fujiwara Chika chimed in and immediately sent a message in the group chat.
Fujiwara Chika: [@akeno, has your world stopped moving?]
Takumi also glanced at the chat. If the world had stopped, it meant he needed to go set up a teleportation gate. That world had followed him here — it wasn't accessed via the World Gateway.
Besides DXD, the One Punch Man world was also approaching, along with the Blade Dance world. Fortunately, the One Punch Man world had a gateway, so that wasn't too concerning. He'd just need to expand the network.
But DXD and Blade Dance had no gateways — Takumi would have to build the connections himself.
akeno: [I don't know!]
Seeing the message, akeno looked confused. How was she supposed to know such things? She hadn't been paying attention to the world's movement.
Takumi: [No! You do know.] [Your strength is already very high. Go check it.]
This girl probably still thought she was weak, relying on others to check everything. But akeno had been enhanced several times already — she was now among the stronger individuals in her world.
akeno: [Wait a moment!]
Startled by Takumi's words, akeno quickly responded and began checking. Not long after, she sent an update:
akeno: [Still moving. So I guess we haven't arrived yet.]
She could feel it — they were still in motion and hadn't reached their destination. Otherwise, the movement would've stopped.
Takumi didn't say much else. But listening to their conversation, Tomoyo grew curious.
"What were you all just talking about? World movement?"
She hadn't misheard, right?
Hearing her question, Takumi nodded.
"Yes. World movement. Other worlds are approaching mine and forming a World Bubble Settlement with it. Like your world — it's also a gathering of many world bubbles. Your ability lets you send others to different world bubbles.
"Because it's across dimensions, sending people consumes a lot of energy."
Takumi explained to Tomoyo with a smile. After hearing this, she suddenly understood.
After a moment of reflection, she asked, a bit hesitantly:
"Then... can our world also move over here?"
Tomoyo looked at Takumi with anticipation.
She had spent a day in Takumi's world and was falling in love with it more and more — especially the children in Hope City. Here, she was incredibly free and happy. If possible, she wished her world could migrate here so her people could enjoy such a world too.
That was the thought that crossed her mind. Could it really be done?
Takumi was stunned by her sudden question.
