Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Losing to the shiroyasha Was Just Too Embarrassing
Everyone in the group suspected that Takumi was trying to set them up.
The Interdimensional Realm was so dangerous, and yet he actually wanted them to go there? That was pure malice!
However, looking at the situation on the screen, everyone found it hard to believe. How much time had passed, and the Interdimensional Realm was already like this?
"Takumi-nyan, what are you doing, nya?"
Azrael noticed that Takumi was looking around everywhere and immediately became curious. What was he doing?
"Streaming!"
"Go handle your stuff. I'm leaving to check out other places."
Takumi glanced at Azrael, said this, and then disappeared from the spot.
The stream screen also changed in an instant, replaced by a much larger space. However, this space was not as chaotic as before.
Someone was fighting, but it was one-on-one combat. Yet the resulting commotion was no less intense than the previous chaotic battle.
"War God 153" was battling the Great Red.
Takumi watched the fight with great interest and streamed it live.
Before long, the shiroyasha appeared beside Takumi.
Seeing her, Takumi asked in confusion, "You've been staying here all this time? Haven't gone out at all?"
It seemed like ever since she came, she had taken over the area and never left. Or perhaps she only left when Takumi wasn't around?
"Not at all~! This place is a lot of fun. I can fight however I want."
At this moment, the shiroyasha looked absolutely delighted. She really loved it here. She could fight however she liked without worrying about causing destruction. By the next day, the place would be restored as if nothing had happened.
It was the perfect stage. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed here the whole time.
In the Little Garden, she was already considered a problem child, and she had been holding herself back for so long. Now that she had the chance, she naturally wanted to go all out.
Fighting was the best!
It was a pity that the Queen didn't show up. Otherwise, she would've dragged her in for a good beating.
Also, Algol didn't like fighting with her. No helping it—she was too strong now.
But it wasn't a big deal. There were still plenty of headstrong folks willing to challenge her, like War God, Boros, and Saitama, who enjoyed teaming up against her.
Now, she was like the ultimate boss here. Even Kuro would fight her.
But Kuro couldn't beat her and eventually stopped playing with her. That was a real shame. Bullying Kuro was actually kind of fun.
"Emm... as long as you enjoy it. Good thing I made some extra stuff for you all. Otherwise, if I had let you fight out in space, there'd be countless spatial voids left behind in the starry sky!"
Speaking of which, Takumi couldn't help but complain. Good thing he did it this way; otherwise, it would've been a real problem.
Cosmic voids referred to star systems where every celestial body had been annihilated—hundreds or even thousands of light-years without a single star.
Letting shiroyasha fight out there would surely have left behind countless voids, and Takumi absolutely couldn't allow that.
"Tch~! Who still uses area-of-effect attacks when fighting these days? We're already playing with other styles. Causality attacks are way cooler!"
shiroyasha admitted that while she used to specialize in those attacks, she had gradually shifted to causality-based attacks and dimensional reduction strikes.
Hearing this, Takumi was speechless. The two of them started chatting idly while watching the ongoing battle.
The group members were also watching the stream. They had never seen such a battle before. It was undeniably exciting. They were thrilled. If only they could become that strong too.
Was this what a battle between top-tier powerhouses looked like?
The Great Red had become incredibly strong. In the past, she couldn't have stood a chance against the War God. Since the War God had visited the Little Garden, his power had increased dramatically.
With that kind of strength, there was no way the old Great Red could have taken him on.
However, after forming a contract with Takumi, the Great Red became his Honkai Beast, and her strength skyrocketed.
Thanks to that, the current Great Red could now fight the War God head-on.
While Takumi and shiroyasha were engrossed in watching the battle, Kuro suddenly appeared, tugging at Takumi's clothes.
Seeing her expression, Takumi was puzzled.
"What's up? What's going on? Do you need me for something?"
"I want to form a contract with you—just like Ophis."
Kuro was very serious as she stated her reason for seeking out Takumi.
Takumi's face filled with question marks. shiroyasha looked equally confused.
Seriously? Did she know what she was saying?
"You're not joking? Are you sure?"
Takumi looked at Kuro strangely. Was she really serious?
"I'm not joking! If I don't get stronger, I won't be able to beat her."
Kuro glared fiercely at shiroyasha as she spoke.
She, Kurimo, had never lost to anyone in her life. And now shiroyasha had secretly become so strong?
That was outrageous—becoming strong in secret and not telling her?
That made Kuro very upset. She wanted to become stronger. But at her current level, increasing strength was incredibly difficult.
Although she had grown somewhat stronger thanks to Takumi's world, it was far from enough.
So she thought of another way—just like Ophis, she'd form a contract with Takumi. That would make her even stronger.
Then, maybe she'd have a chance to defeat shiroyasha.
shiroyasha, listening to Kuro's words, was stunned.
Did this have something to do with her? Shocking!
As expected, Kuro couldn't accept losing!
Realizing this, shiroyasha was left speechless. But perhaps Kuro becoming one of Takumi's followers wasn't a bad idea.
In the Little Garden, Kuro probably wouldn't even have spared him a glance, no matter how strong he was.
But in this world, Takumi called the shots. Kuro was fully aware of this.
Following Takumi came with countless benefits—absolutely worth it!
With that realization, shiroyasha stopped saying more. Since this was Kuro's choice, she let her be.
Give her some time to grow stronger, and they could fight again. That battle was inevitable. She was only signing a contract with Takumi to become a Honkai Beast because she couldn't beat shiroyasha now.
Once Kuro became stronger, they were bound to have a proper duel!
shiroyasha could already see it coming.
Takumi stared at Kuro for a long time to make sure—she was serious.
"You'd better think it through. Once you form the contract, there's no backing out."
Although he knew she meant it, he still needed to spell things out clearly. He didn't want her regretting it later.
Because if that happened, it would be too late.
