Chapter 133: The Combined Power of All Herrschers, Past and Present

Bronya figured she'd probably come back again someday. Even if she didn't, she could always ask Mei to send her some photos of Seele. Not a big deal.

And if she earned enough points later, she could even bring Seele from her world over.

Takumi didn't press her further after hearing that. Fine—she wasn't staying overnight anyway.

Meanwhile, Durandal and Siegfried had finally reunited. The scene was quite heartwarming.

Durandal, unlike Kiana, wasn't the type to beat someone up on sight. Even if she really wanted to… she was afraid one punch would obliterate her old man.

"Fathers-in-law!" "Let's get down to business."

Takumi stepped forward without hesitation.

The moment he said that, Siegfried and Raiden Ryoma glared at him with deadly intent.

"What did you just call us?!"

Fathers-in-law? How dare he!

"Takumi, quit messing around!" "Let's begin." "Let's bring Mom back first."

Mei quickly shut him up before her dad really started throwing punches. She also looked a bit flustered.

You can't just throw words like that around!

Siegfried and Ryoma both paused when they heard what Mei said.

So this guy was the one reviving people?

...Well, fine. They'd let it slide for now. Once their wives were back, then they'd decide what to do with him.

Takumi shrugged and got to work. He asked Ryoma to bring out the items.

He also borrowed the Genesis Key again. Might as well resurrect both mothers at once.

It was no trouble for him.

The Abyss Flower contained Cecilia's DNA sequence. Reviving her was relatively straightforward.

Ryoma had brought a simple hairpin—something that belonged to Mei's mother.

This summoning ritual wasn't so different from Edo Tensei in Naruto, really.

With everything in hand, Takumi began.

Everyone else kept their distance.

Last time, Takumi accidentally summoned Yae Sakura. No one knew if he did it on purpose or not.

But this time, no one was taking any chances.

Who knew if some item they were carrying might randomly summon another relative?

Things were chaotic enough already.

Thankfully, nothing unexpected happened.

Takumi successfully summoned the souls of Mei's mom and Cecilia. He then created new bodies for them.

Tesla watched the whole process with wide eyes.

So souls did exist?!

She pulled out her instruments and started scanning.

But she found nothing abnormal. Maybe her gear wasn't sensitive enough?

Regardless, it was a new research topic.

Takumi shaped new bodies for them based on their souls. Once the revival was complete, Mei, Kiana, and Durandal rushed over.

Seeing Cecilia again, the slumbering Will of Sirin inside Kiana was triggered.

Honkai energy surged violently. One of Kiana's eyes turned golden.

Of course, Kiana herself was completely unaware.

Takumi, however, noticed it immediately.

He stroked his chin.

The issue of Sirin had to be addressed eventually.

If Sirin came back, she'd definitely go straight for Otto.

His eyes gleamed.

Another way to mess with Otto? Excellent.

Even if they had a deal, nothing said he couldn't still make Otto miserable.

Takumi grinned quietly, his plan forming.

Families were reuniting left and right. The atmosphere was warm and peaceful.

Well, except for Cecilia.

Once she heard about Kiana and Durandal, she looked at Siegfried with thinly veiled fury.

"This is how you raise daughters?!"

No doubt about it—she was pissed.

Siegfried, under the glare of his resurrected wife, immediately caved. He panicked.

Takumi seized the moment.

"Well then. Since everything's done…" "Mr. Siegfried, may I borrow the Judgment of Shamash?" "This is my reward, after all."

Time to settle accounts.

Siegfried let out a breath of relief. Finally, a distraction.

"Here."

Without hesitation, he handed the Divine Key to Takumi.

It was just a loan anyway. Even if Takumi had asked to keep it, Siegfried probably would've said yes.

Takumi had helped him immensely.

Not only was his wife back, but he had found his real daughter.

His family was whole again.

How could he not be grateful?

Takumi examined the Judgment of Shamash. He spun it in his hands a few times.

Then—

The dual pistols transformed into the form of Apocalypse.

"Judgment of Shamash, unsheathed!" "Time for an ultra epic attack!"

Takumi gave Kevin's weapon a silent thumbs-up.

Siegfried twitched.

"Don't you dare use it here!!" "You'll blow us all to hell!!"

Seriously, the audacity of this kid.

Takumi chuckled.

He didn't tease Siegfried any further.

Instead, he began the duplication process.

And even added some improvements.

His materials were superior. He could even make this weapon stronger than the original.

Inserting a core? Please.

Takumi planned to embed a portion of his own authority into the weapon.

A true personal weapon.

Even though he didn't really need one— He just thought it looked cool.

What's the point of collecting so many Divine Keys and artifacts if you didn't forge something awesome for yourself?

Power didn't matter. As long as it looked good.

He quickly finalized the idea.

As soon as he got back, he'd start working on it.

Once he finished copying the Judgment of Shamash, he returned it to Siegfried.

Takumi now had copies of nearly all the Divine Keys.

Only Raven's Seven Thunders of Retribution remained.

As for the Blank Key? He'd copy it later before leaving.

This whole trip had been incredibly fruitful.

Also, both Anti-Entropy and Schicksal's databases— Takumi had secretly copied them all.

So many technologies.

Many of this world's research institutions too.

If Takumi had started his life with all this knowledge, he would have been terrifying.

The total sum of all Herrscher powers— From the previous civilization and this one.
