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

The sudden update to the chat group rendered everyone speechless.

"Patching overnight? That's just like you."

However, this completely shut down Takumi's attempt to exploit loopholes. Takumi opened the group store and glanced inside—sure enough, the invitation item was gone. The group had directly deleted it.

Takumi was utterly disappointed. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Since the chat group had deleted the item, he could only rely on his own efforts moving forward.

"Let's fuse this core first."

He needed to study how to perform the fusion. Previously, when drawing the Cocoon of Finality, the system assisted with the fusion. But now, to fuse this core, Takumi would have to do it by himself. It was a huge undertaking, especially since it had to be merged with his Cocoon of Finality.

Takumi looked at the core before him. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Besides the Herrscher of Finality powers, Takumi had acquired other abilities—like Neo's power back then. One of those was the ability to devour all things.

Looking at the core from the Little Garden, Takumi's eyes lit up. Devour it. Fuse with it. Replace it!

Once that thought appeared, Takumi couldn't stop. Without further delay, he began taking action.

He activated his devouring ability. This power was intrinsically linked to him and had been strengthened previously. Therefore, his devouring ability was far superior to the Little Garden's core.

Once he activated the ability, the core didn't resist at all and was absorbed into his body. Under Takumi's control, he slowly began digesting the core and integrating it with the Cocoon of Finality. However, this process could take a long time.

Takumi had no other choice. With no prior experience, this was the most direct and effective method. As for time, he would just have to wait. It might take a year or two, or maybe just a few months—either way, it would happen in this world.

After sensing the changes, Takumi nodded in satisfaction. With the fusion of the core, his world would undoubtedly undergo transformations.

Thinking about that, Takumi couldn't help but feel excited.

Takumi: [Done. I devoured it directly.] [Now, the Little Garden's core will gradually merge with the Cocoon of Finality inside me.] [At the same time, the rules of this world will begin to shift.] [Some of the Little Garden's rules will slowly emerge in my world.]

Once everything was confirmed, Takumi sent a message in the group. Everyone was surprised by the news.

He couldn't use alternate accounts anymore, so he just devoured the core instead? That was quick.

Curiosity grew among the group.

shiroyasha: [Direct devouring? That's very like you.] [It's also the most straightforward method.]

Bronya: [Takumi happened to have a devouring skill.] [What a coincidence~!]

Sagiri: [Congratulations!]

Matou Sakura: [Congratulations!]

Chika Fujiwara: [Congratulations!]

Everyone began offering their congratulations. The stronger Takumi's world became, the greater their benefits—this much was clear to all. So, of course, stronger was better.

Takumi: [Let time take care of the rest.] [@Matou Sakura, by the way, Sakura, I still need to pull your world over.] [You're so quiet in the group I almost forgot about you.]

Seeing Sakura suddenly pop up, Takumi felt a bit exasperated. There were over thirty people in the group, but some rarely spoke. If one didn't pay attention, they were easy to overlook.

Miori Shiba: [Popping up!]

Yuuki Asuna: [Popping up!]

Raiden Mei: [Popping up!]

Ais: [Popping up!]

Miko Yotsuya: [Popping up!]

With Takumi's comment, those silent members suddenly emerged one by one.

Matou Sakura: [I have class, Takumi-oniichan!]

She had school, which was why she hadn't had time to chat. After all, she was at the age where she had to attend classes.

Takumi: [Alright!] [Then I'll head back with you later and move your world over.] [Your world is actually quite large!] [Hmm... we'll do a timeline convergence then!]

The parallel worlds in the Type-Moon universe were many, so transferring them would be a hassle. A timeline convergence would be more effective. Sakura could even become an adult instantly.

Thinking about this, Takumi felt this had real potential.

Matou Sakura: [Okay, Takumi-oniichan! I'll listen to you.]

No matter what Takumi said, Sakura obediently agreed. After chatting in the group for a while, Takumi went to rest.

As he lay down, the Cocoon of Finality in his body began slowly merging with the Little Garden's core. As they fused, Takumi's world started to undergo slight changes—though they weren't very obvious at first. But over time, those changes would become increasingly apparent.

After a few days, Takumi finally noticed the transformations.

"It's already begun!"

Feeling the world's changes, Takumi was amazed. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the world underwent an earth-shattering transformation. He felt very excited.

It seemed he needed to speed up the process of pulling in other worlds.

According to his plan, next he would bring in the Honkai world.

Tomoyo, Inori Yuzuriha, and Kanade's worlds had already stabilized. As for the Toaru side, they had already peacefully accepted the situation. So, Takumi could now begin working on importing the Honkai world.

Just as Takumi was thinking this, Bronya suddenly asked:

"Aren't you going to upgrade Aincrad? It's clearly falling behind."

"The place originally meant for training has now become a playground for elementary school kids."

Bronya looked at Takumi with a subtle expression.

Aincrad had initially been created by Takumi to serve as a training ground for the group. But as development continued and various magical systems spread, it had become a favorite spot for young kids.

Now, those with strong powers preferred the Gourmet World instead, since it offered better returns.

Training in Aincrad only yielded combat experience, but the Gourmet World offered money as well.

With both combat experience and money, many preferred the Gourmet World.

As a result, Aincrad could no longer keep up with the pace of Takumi's world. It had become just a massive game field, mostly visited by elementary schoolers or those with little combat experience.
