Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Building a Paradise for Dragons
At this moment, Kurumi was completely dumbfounded.
She looked at Mio Takamiya, not knowing what to say. This woman had actually apologized to her?
"OK. All settled. From now on, she's a good person," Takumi said with great satisfaction after seeing her attitude.
Kurumi's mouth twitched. "What did you do to her?" She was confused. Was this really okay?
Takumi nodded. "Of course it's fine. What's there to worry about? Besides, I think you Spirits need a mother figure. There's nothing wrong with her being your mom."
With that, Takumi couldn't help but laugh, while Kurumi was thoroughly disgusted. "I don't recognize her as my mom. Forget it. Since I've had my revenge, I won't bother anymore."
Tokisaki Kurumi gave Mio a complicated glance and didn't think much further. She had vented her anger. Since that was the case, there was no need to pursue things further, especially now that the woman had become like this. The grudge was erased.
After Takumi finished dealing with Mio Takamiya, he sent both her and Kurumi away—straight to the apartment where the Spirits lived.
When the other Spirits saw Mio, they stared wide-eyed. Naturally, all those who had turned from humans into Spirits bore grudges against her. Many were still resentful.
As for what happened afterward, Takumi didn't concern himself. He left it for them to decide.
Takumi then turned his attention to the matter of the Adjacent Realm. He fully integrated it into his own world, effectively embedding a membrane into it. As he performed this operation, the powerful beings within Takumi's world were instantly alerted.
Sensing the newly formed Adjacent Realm, many were astonished. Kojou even brought Ophis back with her.
"Tsk tsk! What are you doing, creating a space like this?" Kojou was curious. Why was Takumi doing something like this? It didn't seem necessary.
"It's something I obtained. I made a few modifications. This Adjacent Realm can serve as a paradise for the strong. Some people can't sit still and always want to fight. So why not build a stage for them to play on?"
Takumi gave a simple explanation.
Upon hearing this, Kojou immediately understood. "I see. You constructed it using the Tree of Life from the Kabbalah, didn't you?"
Sensing the core of the Adjacent Realm, Kojou instantly saw through it.
"Correct! That structure already existed; I just made use of it. You saw the world I brought back earlier, right? Its layout follows the path of the Tree of Life."
Takumi wasn't surprised that Kojou could see through the nature of the realm. He would've been surprised if she hadn't.
"Give me one of the spaces in there. I want to build a dragon paradise!"
Kojou spoke up with excitement. Since the realm contained many unique spaces, she wanted one for herself. Each space within was equivalent to an entire world. She could use it to build a haven for dragons.
After all, Takumi's world was full of dragons. Wouldn't it be great to gather them all in one place?
Ophis, who had been quietly listening, was instantly tempted. "I want one too!"
She immediately made her request to Takumi. Ophis had never asked him for anything before.
Hearing both of them speak up, Takumi was speechless. "Fine, fine. Do as you please. I don't care. That realm was made for you restless types anyway. I'm sure anyone with a bit of strength has already sensed the Adjacent Realm by now. I've specifically set it so that without enough power, no one can enter—unless they're brought in."
Takumi had considered everything when creating the realm. As for how it would develop later, that was up to those lively individuals.
If Kojou wanted a dragon paradise, she could go build it. Better than just sleeping outside the world every day.
Takumi was more than happy to see her busy herself.
With Takumi's permission, Kojou excitedly dragged Ophis into action. She began emitting a sound only dragons could understand, summoning all the dragons in Takumi's world.
Kojou had already met most of the dragons in his world—and beaten quite a few of them. That's why they were all willing to follow her and Ophis. The two were, in essence, the leaders of all the dragons here.
Watching them go to work, Takumi was speechless. Oh well, let them have their fun.
He didn't interfere and quietly returned home.
Kojou's mass summoning of dragons shocked many. So many dragons gathered together—it felt like something apocalyptic.
Many newcomers to Takumi's world were stunned by the number of dragons. Was this place really home to so many dragons?
But the dragons didn't linger. Once assembled, Kojou led them into the Adjacent Realm, aiming to claim the best areas before others could get in.
After they left, Takumi had Prometheus issue an official announcement. It informed the powerful beings that the Adjacent Realm was a stage created just for them.
"The Grand Arena of the Adjacent Realm—if you've got what it takes, come challenge it."
In there, they could battle as freely as they wished. As long as they didn't leave the realm, they could destroy whatever they wanted, since the entire realm would reset periodically.
Upon receiving this message, people were ecstatic. Many rushed in immediately.
Getting in was simple: use your own power to tear open space and enter. If you had the strength to pierce that barrier, you were welcome inside to find your opponent.
Soon, all the bored powerhouses in Takumi's world poured in—especially the battle-loving races like the Flügel. Upon learning of this place, they all charged in to find worthy rivals.
...
After settling all of this, Takumi returned to the group chat.
At that moment, Gabriel was busy cursing someone out—quite viciously. Clearly, she was still upset about Kaguya trying to scam her out of points.
She was absolutely fuming.
Kaguya, not one to back down, shot back with equal ferocity.
The two of them, like seasoned trash-talkers, flooded the group chat with insults.
