Chapter 572: Chapter 572: No Choice, the Whole Group is Broke
After finishing his conversation with Lala in the group chat, Takumi asked her to bring her two younger sisters over the next day. Then, he logged off to rest.
The next morning, as soon as Takumi got up, everyone had already arrived. He was surprised to see a group of girls sitting in his living room.
"Why are you all here so early?"
"Good morning, Takumi-kun!" Momo, his sister-in-law, was the first to greet him. The others followed one after another.
"Good morning, Takumi." "Morning!" "You're finally up."
Seeing this crowd, Takumi could only helplessly nod. He didn't rush things and went to have breakfast first. Only afterward did he begin distributing the Herrscher cores to them.
As Takumi took out the Herrscher cores, everyone looked on with anticipation.
"Why are you distributing these cores?" Bronya asked in confusion. Takumi hadn't mentioned doing this before.
"It's mainly because of world authority," Takumi explained. "Once the entire world undergoes its transformation, according to my calculations, these cores will become the foundation of this world."
"After all, the Authorities I hold are condensed from various fundamental rules."
"Now that the Cocoon of Finality is fully bound to this world, the power of the Herrschers has become part of this world's foundation."
"Eventually, these powers will need to be divided among individuals."
"It's not strictly necessary, but strengthening everyone is a good idea. Think of it as finding myself some helpers."
"I've already handed out some earlier. Now it's time to distribute the rest."
"That way, everything will be complete."
Takumi explained everything simply. In fact, he would eventually create even more Herrscher cores. This was just the beginning.
In the future, all the rules of this world could be condensed by Takumi into Herrscher cores, creating new Herrschers.
After listening to his explanation, everyone understood.
Alright then.
So that's how it is.
No one asked further. Since Takumi had a plan, they would just cooperate. Without further ado, everyone began fusing with their respective cores under Takumi's guidance.
In an instant, terrifying Honkai energy surged toward them.
Jana, who had just returned to Takumi's world, sensed the Herrscher energy radiating from his place. Curious, she returned home immediately.
Seeing Takumi's current activities, she was stunned. What was he doing, creating so many fellow Herrschers all at once?
"You're back~?"
Takumi was surprised to see her. After staying in his world for a while, Jana had gone off to explore other worlds and had only now returned. Was she finally done wandering?
"Yeah! What are you doing?"
Jana tilted her head toward the people fusing with Herrscher cores.
"As you can see, turning them into Herrschers."
Takumi then explained everything to her again.
After his explanation, Jana looked at him seriously.
"Then let me become your Herrscher too."
Before Takumi could respond, she released her Authority and shoved it into his body.
Takumi was dumbfounded.
Just like when he made Kiana and the others his Herrschers—but this time, it was Jana who did it willingly.
"Ah—this!!!"
Takumi was truly stunned.
"I've wanted to do this for a long time. I'm alone anyway."
A flicker of emotion passed through Jana's eyes. She had always been alone—until she met Takumi.
The Herrscher of the Sea, Herrscher of the Quantum Sea. Now, she had given her Authority to Takumi. And the Cocoon of Finality? It welcomed everything without rejection.
Takumi stared at Jana. Seeing her serious expression, he nodded and said nothing more.
"Alright."
Nothing serious.
Takumi had gained another Authority—voluntarily gifted by Jana, just like Elysia had done.
Elysia had also handed over her Authority willingly.
Now, all the Herrschers in this world were under Takumi's control. None were outsiders. He had distributed the Authorities, and once the world completed its transformation, everyone would benefit greatly.
Herrschers had now become a new kind of race.
...
The fusion process for Himeko and the others went smoothly. With Takumi's help, there were no problems at all.
As everyone read the instruction manuals forming in their minds, they were amazed.
"Gotta admit, this power is really strong."
"Kiana and the others' Herrscher powers are nowhere near this level."
After experiencing it, even Himeko couldn't help but give her praise.
She had studied Kiana's power thoroughly and knew how strong it was. But what she just received was on a whole different level.
"Well, it has been strengthened many times over."
"If you guys get more points, you can enhance yourselves further."
Takumi smiled at them.
Strengthening via the chat group made you even stronger.
Hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes.
"Points aren't easy to get."
"The chat group doesn't refresh quests anymore."
"No new members are joining."
Bronya was frustrated. They might have to wait a long time to enhance again.
It took a million points for the next upgrade, and they barely had any.
Everyone was broke after upgrading.
"A million points is nothing. I need ten million! Did I complain?"
Takumi was speechless.
He used to have a million points—but they were long spent.
Everyone rolled their eyes at him.
Seriously, you can't compare yourself to us.
You get the tough missions, but for you it's just a free haul.
After all, Takumi was the biggest cheater in the group.
No one bothered arguing further.
Seeing things wrapping up, Lala said:
"Takumi, I'm heading back!"
"Time to resume my research. Hehe!!"
"I'm bound to have more discoveries this time."
Takumi had given her both the core of the Herrscher of Rock and the Herrscher of Metal.
She fused with one and kept the other to study back home.
If Takumi needed it later, she could always return it.
Not that Takumi minded.
These things—he could retrieve them at any time, no matter where they went.
After all, the core was just a vessel.
The real Authority remained in Takumi's hands.
