Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Once I Copy It, Everyone Gets One!
Takumi's contract wasn't something easily signed. Once it was sealed, there was no turning back. It couldn't be undone.
After all, both parties shared prosperity and decline.
"I've already made up my mind. Besides, your contract isn't that bad, right?"
She had already learned about Takumi's contract. Although it meant binding herself to him, there weren't many restrictions. She had thought through all the possible issues before coming to Takumi.
"If that's the case, then let's sign it. From now on, you'll be the Dragon of the World on my side!"
With that, Takumi produced a contract and handed it to Kuro.
Kuro accepted it without hesitation.
As soon as they both signed the contract, Kuro successfully obtained some of Takumi's authority. It was a gift from him, transferring some Honkai powers to her.
In an instant, Kuro's power surged past the double-digit level and reached the single-digit tier. She was already a double-digit level being, but now she had become even stronger.
Feeling the surge in Kuro's aura, Shiroyasha's eyes lit up. Kuro was equally thrilled.
Perfect. Now she had the strength to take on Shiroyasha in a fight.
Fueled by the thought, Kuro burned with excitement. Feeling the authority flowing through her, she wore a radiant smile.
"Shiroyasha! Help me get used to this power!"
Kuro called out directly. She could barely hold herself back from fighting Shiroyasha.
Hearing Kuro, Shiroyasha had no reason to refuse. The two disappeared from the spot and began fighting in the distance.
Takumi watched this and couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
The group members, however, were thrilled.
Izayoi: [Fight! Come on, fight!]
Black Rabbit: [So envious of Lady Kurimo. She became so strong in an instant.]
Sagiri: [Same here.]
Megumi Kato: [This is so unfair. Just like that, she instantly becomes super strong.]
Watching Takumi's actions, no matter how many times she saw it, Megumi always found it a bit unreasonable. As long as he was willing, Takumi could probably mass-produce star-burst-level powerhouses by now.
After all, Takumi could casually fabricate Herrscher Cores—perfectly complete ones at that.
That allowed someone to instantly gain star-burst-level power, or even something stronger.
Takumi glanced at the messages in the group and muttered internally.
Jealous? That's right, be jealous.
Lala: [Herrscher Cores are great. I've been trying to replicate them lately. Once I manage it, I'll give everyone one!]
At that moment, Lala, who usually lurked, popped up.
She usually immersed herself in scientific research, and after arriving in Takumi's world, she became even more absorbed.
Takumi's world was filled with things she couldn't possibly finish studying, and she thoroughly enjoyed it.
Naturally, she studied Herrscher Cores. She even wondered if she could replicate them.
If she succeeded, she planned to distribute one to everyone in the group.
Reading her message, Takumi was speechless.
That was so Lala—trying to copy his core.
But that was impossible.
Replication? If it were that simple, even Vill-V would've managed it long ago. There'd be no need to wait until now.
Even with the power of the Herrscher of Reason, the best they could make was a pseudo-Herrscher Core.
Still, Takumi didn't say anything to discourage Lala. If she wanted to research it, let her.
Who knew? She might actually create something useful. After all, anything was possible.
After watching for a while, Takumi left. As he wandered around the Interdimensional Realm, he noticed that many regions had become battlefields.
The few areas that hadn't become battlegrounds had turned into territories for various races. They were living quite comfortably here.
Many races seemed quite satisfied with the place. Even various gods and divine beings had moved in.
This was amazing.
Eventually, the Interdimensional Realm would become paradise for battle maniacs.
Once Gaia and Alaya fully grasped the world's rules, Takumi planned to have them fine-tune the Interdimensional Realm.
If they were going to do it, they might as well do it thoroughly.
See what rules the Realm needed and add them one by one. That wouldn't be a problem.
Just as Takumi was about to leave, he suddenly noticed more newcomers entering the Interdimensional Realm.
No, wait—they weren't ordinary people. They were Heroic Spirits!
Yes, Heroic Spirits in their prime had begun entering the Interdimensional Realm.
They had come from the Nasuverse.
Apparently, after arriving in Takumi's world, they discovered the Interdimensional Realm and decided to enter it.
Things were about to get even more lively.
Thinking of this, Takumi couldn't help but smile.
Let those folks have their fun. He created this place precisely for them to mess around in.
As long as they didn't cause trouble in the real world, it was fine.
Takumi left the Interdimensional Realm and returned to the real world.
He reappeared exactly where he had entered.
After returning, he strolled through the city streets.
To his surprise, just as he appeared, he ran into Touma.
"Mr. Takumi?"
Touma was taken aback when he saw Takumi. He didn't expect to run into him here.
Hearing Touma's voice, Takumi looked at him with surprise too. But soon, he remembered something and looked at Touma's right hand.
"Touma-153, huh~! Your right hand should be fine, right?"
The seal on it was something Takumi had made, so he knew exactly how it should be. Still, he asked just in case something unexpected had happened.
Hearing this, Touma beamed.
"No problems at all. I have to say, the seal you made has been a huge help."
He was truly grateful to Takumi. If it weren't for him, he'd probably still be dealing with all sorts of troubles.
That arm had caused him so much grief since childhood.
Now that it was resolved, he felt incredibly relieved.
"Is that so? That's great to hear. Are you out shopping alone?"
Takumi looked around. Index wasn't there.
Why was he alone?
"Yeah. Index was taken to Heaven..."
Speaking of it, Touma looked even happier.
Index had the potential to become an angel. After coming to this world, she caught the attention of the Celestial Realm.
Index herself had always longed to be an angel.
So it was a perfect match—she followed them without hesitation and has since reincarnated as an angel.
So now, he was on his own.
