NOVEL NEXT Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Injured by an Unknown AOE
The most noticeable change to the world was that it had grown larger again. The horizon stretched even farther. Even flying into the sky no longer revealed the world's edge. Looking down from the air, one could no longer see curvature—only an endless horizon. Only by leaving the atmosphere could one glimpse the curve of this massive world.
Besides the physical expansion, certain rules had begun to manifest. For example, everyone's abilities were starting to evolve, trending toward the concept of Gifts. Given some time, if Takumi distributed blank Gift Cards, people's abilities could begin to be traded. In addition, the rules from the world of "No Game No Life" had also started spreading—after all, the Holy Grail from that world was in Takumi's hands.
Noticing these changes, Takumi was delighted. He had grown stronger again. Of course, he wasn't the only one benefiting; many others had received rewards from the strengthening world. In the group chat, many members were buzzing:
Fujiwara Chika: [Darn it, I got stronger again!!] [It feels amazing! Ever since the world leveled up, I've gained so much!]
Tokisaki Kurumi: [Space has become more stable—teleportation is getting harder.] [Especially when entering neighboring realms—it filtered out a ton of people.]
Sagiri: [It's not just the space, even the world's energy has increased. My talismans are now at least twice as powerful.] [Amazing!!]
Shiroyasha: [This is just the beginning. You'll all grow even stronger.] [Doesn't it feel more fragrant than Little Garden?]
Izayoi Sakamaki: [Definitely. This world smells way better than Little Garden.]
Black Rabbit: [Agreed. It's delightful!] [I won't need to worry about being hungry ever again.]
Kasukabe Yō: [You silly rabbit! Embarrassing yourself online again. Is your only dream really to not be hungry?] [Besides, you were never hungry in Little Garden!]
Kasukabe Yō was speechless after seeing Black Rabbit's post. What a disgrace.
Kujou Asuka: [Has everyone gained something?]
Fujiwara Chika: [Probably, yes.]
Houraisan Kaguya: [Definitely! Especially those close to Takumi—people like me, Bronya, and Itsuki all gained more.]
Sagiri: [So jealous!!]
Megumi Katou: [Envy!!]
Takumi: [No need to be jealous. Just sleep together tonight!]
Seeing their envy, Takumi chuckled and posted this cheeky message. Jealous? No need—just sleep with him and you'll get stronger too.
His comment, however, earned eye-rolls from everyone.
Shiroyasha: [LOL! There's no way one bed fits everyone!]
Takumi: [?] [Then the whole world will be our bed.]
Shiroyasha: [Holy crap, you're playing that game now?]
Takumi: [You know it! Hey bro, want to join? I've always liked your horizon.]
After chatting with Shiroyasha for a bit, Takumi finally closed the group chat. Let the world evolve on its own. Complete transformation would take some time, and he wasn't in a hurry.
With most of his goals achieved—migrating Honkai, Type-Moon, and even unexpectedly Little Garden—Takumi was finally free. The Little Garden twist had been a pleasant surprise, saving him a lot of effort.
All the hard work was done. Now it was just a matter of waiting for the transformation to complete. If he discovered other worlds, he'd migrate them too. He also had to wait for the worlds en route to arrive—Honkai wouldn't take long.
Now with free time, Takumi began to wander. He wondered how Yuzuriha Inori and the others were doing. With that thought, he headed toward the school.
At this point, his world's first batch of students had graduated—like Fujiwara Chika and her friends. They had completed their education. Takumi's biggest focus was the magic curriculum. Once you passed it, you could either graduate or continue your studies.
Naturally, Fujiwara Chika and the others had graduated. There was nothing left for them to learn. In Takumi's world, they were VIP users who could easily access all kinds of knowledge. With access to the group chat and strengthening tools, they barely needed to study.
If needed, they could even spend a few points to purchase knowledge packs from the group's shop—Takumi had uploaded plenty of content. So after completing the magic curriculum, they graduated immediately.
They knew far more than most students. If regular students could graduate, they certainly could. Staying in school would just waste time.
Takumi found Yuzuriha Inori. She and the others had just begun advanced studies in Takumi's academy, starting magic from scratch. Surprisingly, Inori had excellent magical talent and was learning quickly. She also got along well with her classmates.
Takumi peeked in on Inori and left shortly after. Inori, in the middle of class, sensed something and glanced out the window—but saw nothing. Takumi had already vanished.
She didn't think much of it and returned to her lessons. Perhaps a powerful person had just passed by. There were many powerful beings in Takumi's world. After being here for so long, she had come to understand the place—there really were that many strong people.
Although most had gone into neighboring realms, some chose to stay and wander around Takumi's world. Occasionally, one might see a powerhouse walk by the school.
...
Takumi left the school, strolled around, played with a few lolis, and eventually entered the neighboring realm. Ever since he created it, he hadn't been back. Now that he had time, he decided to visit.
However, the moment he entered, a giant energy cannon blasted him in the face.
Caught off guard, Takumi was stunned. Instinctively, he slapped the beam away and took a good look at the situation.
"Heaven's Strike!"
A Flügel was battling a Draconic Essence Species. The energy cannon had come from the dragon, and the Flügel dodged before countering with her own powerful Heaven's Strike.
