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

When Takumi heard Illya's question, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Sorry, but you're not going to grow anymore. This is your maximum height—unless you go to Mobius' lab and have her help you."

Takumi beamed at Illya. But upon hearing his suggestion, Illya's expression froze.

"Forget it," she said. "I think I'm fine the way I am."

Go to Mobius' lab? That was basically a death sentence!

Just hearing that name made her shudder involuntarily. Aliceviel, too, recoiled.

Both of them had been sent to Mobius' lab by Takumi for bodily adjustments when they first arrived. Being treated like corpses on an operating table and soaked in Maphroline—once was more than enough.

After that experience, even the mention of Mobius made them flinch. They swore they'd never go back—if they had to pass by her lab, they'd go around.

Seeing Illya's reaction, Takumi shrugged.

"Well, if you're not willing, there's nothing I can do. She's your only hope for getting taller. As far as this world's rules go, you've reached your limit. I've done all I can."

Illya was deeply frustrated.

"Don't worry, Illya. You're already taller than us! That's something to be proud of," someone reassured her.

Illya rolled her eyes. Taller now, sure—but she wouldn't grow any further. What she was now was what she'd always be.

"You should call Illya 'Onee-chan' now, Klee!" she declared.

If she couldn't get taller, at least she could assert seniority.

Klee wasn't thrilled. Illya was only slightly taller than her. In truth, Illya was younger than them.

Soon, Klee and Illya were arguing.

Takumi laughed heartily at the scene but didn't intervene.

Meanwhile, more and more people had begun arriving. Takumi turned to Prometheus.

"Prometheus, start the notifications. Also, Gaia, Alaya—inform everyone. I'll be needing you soon. Make sure even the old-timers who don't go online know what's happening."

Takumi instructed Prometheus to begin the announcements and asked Gaia and Alaya to spread the word—some residents lived in entirely separate spaces, so only they could reach them.

Hearing his instructions, Gaia and Alaya sprang into action. They'd been itching to get involved since Takumi built the gateway and his energy started seeping through.

As for Prometheus, she was already well-networked and knew exactly what to do.

Initially, Gaia and Alaya had been wary of Takumi's Honkai energy—it was like poison to the world itself. But now that it could become their own strength?

Delicious.

Once trembling with fear, they now charged forward.

At Takumi's command, they began spreading the word.

The massive changes in the world had already drawn the attention of many hidden beings. Now, as the truth came to light, shock spread across the populace.

Back on Takumi's side, he returned Klee and the others to his world and finalized the gateway connecting to the Type-Moon realm.

He wasn't placing the portal in any one city—instead, he built it in a separate location. Once the entrance was complete, the task of constructing the city around it would go to Keqing.

With that settled, Takumi headed off to meet Gaia and Alaya.

They were currently basking in their newfound strength but rushed to greet him as soon as he arrived.

"What do you need, Boss?!" Gaia asked eagerly.

Even the typically aloof Alaya looked to him with interest. Only after entering Takumi's world did she truly understand the beauty of his power.

Steel Earth? What crisis?

Their only concern now was if something happened to Takumi's world. Otherwise, the Type-Moon world faced no threats.

Now that Takumi needed something from them, they were fully on board.

"Become the will of my world," Takumi said.

"From now on, you two will oversee all the sub-worlds. Form a contract with me and take on the role of my world's consciousness."

Hearing this, both women's eyes sparkled.

"Really? We can?"

If it was true, they certainly weren't turning it down. Joining Takumi's world sounded like an excellent deal.

"Of course you can," Takumi affirmed. "Come with me. You should be able to leave this world now."

"You were previously bound to the Type-Moon realm. But now, since it's part of my world, your bindings have shifted. Once we form a contract, you'll be my world's will."

Before, this might have been an issue. But now? No problem.

Without hesitation, Gaia and Alaya agreed.

"Good! We're in!!"

No delays—they were ready.

Takumi promptly began forming the contracts. From this moment on, they were bound to him.

Once done, Takumi tore open a spatial rift.

"Let's go."

At his call, Gaia and Alaya quickly followed. Only after forming the contract did they truly feel Takumi's overwhelming power, which thrilled them.

As they entered Takumi's world, a mysterious transformation occurred.

They could feel something in the world calling to them.

"Go," Takumi said. "Replace this world's current will. Become it."

The rest was up to them.

The original, weak world consciousness had always obeyed Takumi. With his command, the outcome was certain.

Hearing his words, Gaia and Alaya nodded. They vanished from sight and began fusing with the existing world consciousness.

The old will merged with them seamlessly.

Once they began the process, Takumi could sense his world undergoing a transformation.

Most notably, the change was visible in him.

The Cocoon of the End had long since fused with Takumi. Now, it began to strengthen.

Laws of the Little Garden began to take shape.

The evolution had begun.
