Chapter 565: Chapter 565: What If? Who Can Say for Sure?
When shiroyasha heard Takumi's explanation, she was momentarily speechless.
Still, she wasn't worried in the slightest.
"She's stronger than me? No way, absolutely not. That's impossible. She doesn't even have a chat group. If someone with hacks like me gets surpassed by her, I might as well quit the group altogether."
Shiroyasha was extremely confident in this matter. A player with cheats, how could she possibly lose?
Takumi chuckled at her confidence but didn't say anything more.
What if, right?
Maybe someday, someone will come back and settle the score.
Seeing Takumi's disbelief, shiroyasha grew even more annoyed.
"You don't believe me?" she said, her fists clenched.
She felt utterly disrespected.
Takumi's lips curled into a smirk.
"Do you believe that I could just grant her an ultra-powerful spirit rank and give her enough strength to catch up to you? Even if you have a chat group, that doesn't mean you're untouchable."
Silly girl, do you really think you're safe?
If Takumi wanted to put her in check, it would be effortless. After all, he had the power to help others cheat too.
So, shiroyasha, you better hope the Halloween Queen never becomes stronger and decides to come after you.
Shiroyasha's face crumbled upon hearing this. She had no doubt Takumi could pull it off.
"Damn! You're really something, huh?!"
Was this even human talk? He was clearly messing with her.
But she couldn't refute him. Right now, Takumi was the strongest.
At this point, she couldn't think of anyone in the dimensional multiverse stronger than Takumi.
And once his world fully developed, who knew how powerful he could become?
Eventually, Takumi might be able to interfere with the entire multiverse.
At that stage, no one would be able to defeat him.
Takumi could also empower anyone he chose.
Surpassing shiroyasha? Child's play.
Takumi's Cocoon of Finality hadn't even revealed its full potential yet.
As his world grew stronger, so did he. Plus, the chat group could also boost him.
Even though leveling up now required a ridiculous number of points, as long as he had time, Takumi could rack up those points.
No one else could catch up.
"So yeah, don't get too cocky. What if one day, karma hits?"
Takumi patted the little shorty's head smugly.
Perfectly under control.
"Scram!" shiroyasha glared at him.
She was beyond annoyed.
She believed it now. Takumi might just do it.
That bastard!
She remembered this grudge. For now, she'd endure.
What if Takumi fell for the Halloween Queen and, in a moment of madness, really did it?
She'd be crying rivers then.
She knew how vengeful that woman could be.
The Halloween Queen's earlier frustration was now mirrored perfectly in shiroyasha.
It was ridiculous.
Still, shiroyasha didn't tease him any further.
Meanwhile, Takumi, sensing the Solar Authority within him, had an idea.
"What do you think—what if I turned my Honkai authority into something like the Solar Authority too? Since my authority is now a cornerstone of this world, if it becomes a sovereign-level power, should I call it World Authority?"
"I could create a dozen Herrschers with my authority and give them incredible power."
Currently, only a few people had his authority—and not fully.
But it seemed he really could do it.
Hearing this, shiroyasha's eyes lit up.
"I want the Herrscher of Flames authority! Give it to me!"
Perfect. No problem at all.
She was totally on board and even volunteered herself.
Takumi laughed.
"If you take my authority, you have to be my dog. Are you willing?"
As he said that, he ruffled shiroyasha's hair like a pet.
She looked bewildered, then slapped his hand away.
"Get lost!!"
Seriously?!
Trying to take advantage of her again?
Fine! She didn't want it anymore!
"Well, I can't help it. The authority I give isn't the full version. It doesn't mean I lose it once I give it away…"
"Even if I give it to you, it still resides in me. I can even take it back anytime."
Having said his piece, Takumi didn't elaborate further.
Shiroyasha clicked her tongue.
"I know that. But I don't want it now. Go ahead and do it. Just pick some suitable girls to carry it. That would be ideal."
She was tempted, but she passed. Let others have it.
"Alright then. I'll give one to the Halloween Queen."
"With my current strength, she should be able to shoot up to the top ten instantly."
Takumi grinned brightly.
Shiroyasha instantly exploded.
"You damned bastard—you're clearly doing this just to spite me! If I weren't weaker than you, I'd beat your dog face in right now!!"
She lashed out verbally.
This jerk was out to mess with her on purpose.
Takumi chuckled smugly.
Too bad. You can't beat me.
While they were goofing around, more people began to gather.
Seeing this, Takumi decided not to linger.
"I'm heading off now. Go have fun. Catch you later."
With that, he vanished on the spot.
Shiroyasha clicked her tongue and then dove into the portal leading to the Star Rail world.
She wanted to see how strong the other Aeons were.
Maybe she could even snag a spot as one of them?
For example, the Aeon of the Sun.
Just the name alone sounded prestigious.
She wanted it.
Even though the Aeon's power wasn't anything special to her, what if Takumi distributed spirit ranks to Aeons in the future?
Then she'd be rolling in profit.
Right now, Takumi's world was like a newly founded company gearing up to go public.
They all wanted to grab some shares.
Once the company went public, they'd all hit the jackpot.
No matter what identity they used, securing benefits now was a surefire win.
There would definitely be rewards in the future.
Right now, both shiroyasha and those like the Halloween Queen who had just come from Little Garden were thinking the same thing.
After all, they had seen similar events during the early days of Little Garden.
So they were well prepared and full of experience.
