Chapter 415

Takumi saw Aether's expression and couldn't help but laugh.

"You don't have to stare at me like that."

"To be honest, this is your fault."

"Think about it differently."

"If you were the one eating and sleeping outside, always feeling hungry and exhausted while searching for your sister..."

"And then, on your journey, someone told you that your sister was living well, even as a princess."

"Enjoying delicious food and luxury every day."

"She knows you're awake but doesn't come to find you."

"She just waits for you to find her, and much of what happens is arranged by her."

"Now, think about how you would feel."

Maybe, just maybe?

Aether was dumbfounded by Takumi's words.

If that were the case, he might indeed be furious.

This time, Aether felt almost defeated.

Unable to refute it?

However, wasn't this still Takumi's fault?

Aether looked at Takumi resentfully.

What exactly did he tell Lumine?

Now, the first time Lumine saw him, she wanted to stab him.

This was ridiculous.

Aether almost felt like crying.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"If so, just ask."

Takumi looked at Aether with a smile, clearly in a good mood.

Aether remained silent for a while.

After thinking about it, he asked something that had been bothering him.

"If I attack Celestia, will you stop me?"

Takumi shook his head.

"No."

"You can rest assured about that."

"I don't care about your plans, I'm not interested."

"As long as it doesn't interfere with me and the people around me."

"To be honest, if you want to attack Celestia, you don't need to worry about opposition at all."

"Most of the other gods won't even care."

"Maybe, if Celestia falls, they might even help you."

"The Tsaritsa? No need to mention her, you already know she's against Celestia."

"And Barbatos?"

"Well, he already handed over his Gnosis to the Hydro Archon."

"Then there's our old man Zhongli."

"In the end, even Ei gave hers away."

"So, there are already three gods who might oppose Celestia."

"You have a good chance!"

While saying this, Takumi took out his own Gnosis.

When Aether heard Takumi's words, he felt excited.

But when he saw the Gnosis that Takumi had taken out, he was stunned.

"A Gnosis?"

"You..."

Takumi placed the Gnosis on the table with a smile.

"I made a copy of it."

"It has no connection to Celestia."

"If, by any chance, the Tsaritsa manages to obtain more Gnosis, you can ask her to send them to me."

"I can make copies for her too."

"Including her own."

"Buy one, get one free!"

Although he didn't know what power would be activated by the different Gnosis, Takumi was curious.

Herrscher of Ice? Herrscher of Fire?

Or perhaps something like the Herrscher of Corruption?

The Hydro Archon's Gnosis could grant him the power of the Herrscher of the Sea.

That would be terrifying.

Many Herrschers from Honkai Impact 2 and Honkai Impact 3 shared similarities, but some had yet to appear.

For example, the Herrscher of the Sea, the Herrscher of Metal, and others.

Anyway, as long as he had a Gnosis, he could experiment with it.

Aether listened to Takumi's words and was speechless.

Was the Tsaritsa's goal nothing more than a plaything for him?

Simply terrifying!

Aether didn't dwell on it too much.

Instead, he took out a special-looking token.

"Here's the pass you wanted."

"With this, you can use the teleportation anchors."

Takumi's eyes lit up upon hearing that.

He took it from Aether and immediately analyzed it.

Once the analysis was complete, Takumi suddenly understood.

"I see."

"That makes sense."

After saying this, he returned the token to Aether.

Then, under Aether's astonished gaze, he created a new one.

He even modified its appearance.

In the end, it took the shape of a tablet device.

"It looks much better like this."

"You're too old-fashioned."

Talking with Takumi was exhausting.

Aether looked at him, feeling utterly drained.

He didn't want to stay here any longer.

After some thought, Aether took out another device.

"Take this too."

"Maybe you'll find it useful."

"And take good care of my sister..."

After saying that, Aether turned around and left.

An Abyss portal opened.

Without looking back, he stepped through it.

This surprised Takumi.

Looking at the device in front of him, he grew curious.

Picking it up, he studied it carefully.

"A hard drive?"

Was this some sort of data storage?

Takumi's eyes lit up at the thought.

Without hesitation, he put the device away.

Aether was being quite reasonable.

Handing over all of Khaenri'ah's technology to him?

Not bad at all.

If that was the case, Takumi would take good care of Lumine!

Thinking this, Takumi stood up and stored all the items away.

Glancing at the trembling Abyss Mages, he decided to leave them alone.

With a flash, he disappeared.

When he reappeared, Takumi was back at Guili Plains.

Instead of returning to the General Affairs Department, he headed straight for a teleportation anchor.

Upon arrival, he took out the tablet he had just created.

"To use the anchor, you need to activate it with a pass."

"Then record where the anchor points are."

"Only then can teleportation be used."

"It's almost like unlocking a waypoint."

This was what Takumi learned after analyzing the pass.

Looking at the anchor in front of him, he wasted no time.

He began recording it into the tablet.

As the anchor emitted a faint light, it disappeared.

The anchor was now stored within the tablet-like device in Takumi's hands.

Even a map appeared on the screen.

It was remarkably similar to the in-game map.

All this information was recorded from the ley lines.

"People used to say that if you don't interfere with the ley lines, you should leave them alone."

"But now I've finally touched them."

After unlocking this anchor, he couldn't help but laugh.

Well, that was ironic.

Before, he had avoided it out of fear of Celestia.

Now, Takumi wasn't afraid.

When his strength grew even further and he could freely travel through the Sea of Quanta, he might even open passages to other worlds.

Having recorded this anchor, Takumi began running the map.

He was ready to unlock all the teleportation anchors across the land.
