Chapter 564: Chapter 564: The More Arrogant Now, The More Miserable Later
After confirming that the gate was functional, Elysia was the first to dash through with Eden and the others.
Just after sending off one group, Aha also arrived.
"Hahaha! I've already sensed the aura over there!"
With that shout, Aha took off—he wanted to return to Honkai: Star Rail.
Meanwhile, Takumi received a message from Tingyun. Upon hearing that she could go back, she was genuinely happy.
Takumi simply pulled her over.
"My benefactor, this little lady will return first. I'll come back later."
Tingyun smiled sweetly at Takumi and then left.
After sending these people off, Takumi began examining his internal state.
With the arrival of the Honkai world, more aspects of the Little Garden Core began to surface.
This included a vast array of knowledge about the Little Garden.
Also among them were records related to Solar Authorities.
As he sorted through the data, a smile flickered across Takumi's face.
He had obtained the spirit-rank representing humanity's final hope in Little Garden, but had gained no knowledge.
That place simply refused to share.
But now, with integration deepening, more aspects of the core began to emerge.
He could finally start mass production.
At that thought, Takumi casually replicated Shiroyasha's Solar Authority.
When twenty-five copies of the Solar Authority appeared in Takumi's hand, both Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen sensed it.
Especially Shiroyasha.
She looked blankly in Takumi's direction.
"What the hell?"
Muttering, she immediately ran over.
When she arrived, she stared at the Solar Authorities in front of Takumi.
"Good heavens!! You replicated them? You can replicate Solar Authorities?"
Shiroyasha was stunned.
Wasn't that supposed to be impossible?
Takumi calmly collected the Authorities.
"It used to be. After all, I only got the spirit-rank from Little Garden—no knowledge.
Besides, if replication were really possible back in Little Garden, those gods would've flipped the table.
Now it's possible because the core belongs to me. That's all there is to it."
"Soon, everyone will have a copy. As the worlds continue merging, more permissions from the core will unlock.
In a little while, I'll probably even be able to grant spirit-ranks."
He couldn't hide his grin.
Takumi was about to wield the authority of Little Garden.
Not bad at all.
Hearing this, Shiroyasha slapped her thigh.
"Damn, I lost out!! I should've asked for their spirit-ranks."
She felt she had missed out on billions.
Why hadn't she asked for them just now?
Takumi laughed.
"Unnecessary. Soon, I'll be able to copy everyone's powers.
They won't even be that valuable.
At most, you'd have just annoyed them a bit.
The gods from the Biblical faction haven't come yet. Later, my world's own Biblical system can fully replace them.
And Greek mythologies? They'll probably all become knock-offs."
"After all, our world has versions of them too."
Takumi couldn't suppress his smile.
If those guys didn't come, he'd prioritize his own people.
His angels were also part of the Biblical system. Wouldn't those Authorities fit Gabriel and the others perfectly?
"So when do we start divvying things up?"
Shiroyasha lit up.
She was fully on board.
Even the Athena from the Campione world could receive a spirit-rank.
That version was way more charming than the Little Garden's Athena.
There was even another Athena in DanMachi.
So many choices.
Takumi would probably start distributing spirit-ranks soon.
Shiroyasha was thrilled at the thought.
"No rush. Still need a bit more time."
Takumi checked his internal state.
Almost there.
The core had nearly finished integrating.
Just a bit longer, and he could act.
Shiroyasha nodded, saying no more.
Now, she was extremely curious: what kind of faces would those people make when they arrived and found their own spirit-ranks already taken?
She was excited just imagining it.
She was, after all, someone who lived for the laughs.
If Takumi helped, those people would just be nourishment when they arrived.
Especially if Takumi implemented a spirit-rank uniqueness rule.
Then the gods from Little Garden would arrive only to have their own spirit-ranks devoured.
Not their bodies, just the ranks.
That alone would drive them mad.
More fun ahead!
As Shiroyasha and Takumi chatted, the Halloween Queen arrived.
Seeing both of them there, she frowned.
"Solar Authorities?"
She had sensed their aura and come to investigate.
Though the auras were the same, they weren't the ones she used to possess.
"Replicated," Takumi said.
"Want one? Beg me! I'll give you one," Shiroyasha grinned.
Then gave her a taunting look.
But the Halloween Queen ignored her.
Upon hearing they were replicas, her gaze turned to Takumi.
She was visibly shocked.
Even Solar Authorities could be copied?
Absurd.
But realizing the core was with Takumi, it all made sense.
"I see. No wonder.
I thought they belonged to this world."
She shook her head and left.
She had no intention of bickering with Shiroyasha.
Once she became strong enough, she'd beat the smugness out of her.
Now, she needed to study this new world.
No rush!
Patience.
Shiroyasha, unaware of what the Halloween Queen was thinking, felt frustrated.
"Why didn't she argue with me? She just left?"
She mumbled in confusion.
"Maybe because she can't beat you now, so she backed off.
But once she can, she'll crack your skull open.
Besides, didn't you do some over-the-line stuff to her back in Little Garden?
Think she won't hold a grudge?"
Takumi looked at Shiroyasha playfully.
Did she know how annoying she was?
In this world, what goes around comes around.
The more arrogant you are now, the more miserable you might end up later.
