Chapter 156: Invasion by Creatures from Another World? Good Grief!

After hearing Takumi's explanation, Kayaba Akihiko had generally understood the situation. That was already very good.

"This is amazing!!"

While the two of them were talking, others began arriving one after another. Among them was someone Takumi knew—Tendou Kisara.

As soon as Tendou Kisara arrived, she immediately noticed something: Her powers had been suppressed. All her physical strength was completely restrained. Now she was only slightly stronger than a regular person.

"Wah!!" "It feels like my powers are being restrained here." "What's going on?!"

Several little girls who arrived at the same time also realized this situation immediately. Then they started shouting.

Seeing this, Takumi gave it some thought and instructed Prometheus to prepare an instruction manual, A simple introduction explaining the current situation— So everyone could receive the information as soon as they arrived.

Following Takumi's command, Soon enough, everyone who arrived received the data.

Once everyone had read through the information, They gradually understood what was happening.

With the situation clarified, excitement spread among the group. One by one, they went to collect their starter equipment and began heading outside the town.

Tendou Kisara greeted Takumi, then left to battle monsters outside. She wanted to see if she could reach the 100th floor. She needed combat experience.

Seeing this, Kayaba Akihiko said to Takumi:

"I'll head out and have a look too. I'll get a feel for it, then return to continue my work."

Kayaba Akihiko didn't linger. He was eager to see what the outside world looked like.

Takumi shrugged and said nothing. As long as he remembered to come back to work, that was fine.

After seeing Kayaba Akihiko off, Takumi also left. He didn't intend to play around here. After all, this entire place was Takumi's creation. He knew every detail. So there wasn't much fun in it for him.

Returning home and finding no one there, Takumi didn't mind. Most likely, Shima Mio had gone straight to Aincrad.

With nothing better to do, Takumi entered the group chat. He found that Nakiri Alice was currently ranting about something happening in her world.

Nakiri Alice: [Lately, strange new species have been appearing in our world.] [And they're terrifying.] [Have you ever seen a fully roasted wild boar?] [Image]

Takumi looked at the image Alice posted and was shocked. It was about 4 meters long, 3 meters tall, And its back was covered with smoking meat.

Fujiwara Chika: [!!!!] [Roast pig???]

Exactly, it was a whole roasted pig.

Good grief—why was a whole roasted pig appearing in Nakiri Alice's world? Wasn't her world supposed to be normal?

Sure, they had strange "clothing burst" skills, But overall, it was still an ordinary world.

And now this?

Kato Megumi: [A creature from another world appeared in your world?] [Seems like it's from a world called "Toriko" (Gourmet Hunter)?]

Kato Megumi had watched the anime Toriko. She had been amazed by some of the creatures from that world.

If someone lived there, they'd never have to worry about starving!

Takumi: [An otherworldly species invasion?] [You guys are in big trouble!!]

Takumi was astonished. Creatures from the world of Toriko were appearing in the Food Wars! world? That meant her world was in real danger.

Nakiri Alice: [!!!!] [Please send me the materials!!]

Alice was panicking. She was begging!

Takumi: [But it's not a big issue!] [Go hunt jellyfish and see if you can extract gourmet cells.] [You get stronger just by eating!] [Gahaha, fun stuff.]

Gourmet cells were amazing things. A shortcut to becoming stronger. Eat, and grow strong.

Kato Megumi: [Uploading folder: "Toriko."]

After Takumi finished speaking, Kato Megumi uploaded her Toriko resources to the group.

Nakiri Alice: [@Kato Megumi, thanks.] [@Takumi, that may be so, but those species are ridiculously strong.] [Anyway, I'll check Megumi's files first.]

And then Alice disappeared from the chat.

Seeing that Alice stopped responding, Takumi didn't think much more of it.

But Zhongli suddenly spoke up.

Zhongli: [Have the two worlds merged?] [Then there should be a group quest soon, right?]

Honestly, Zhongli was just as shocked by the information… But quickly remembered the group's quest board.

Would the upcoming missions be related to this?

The fusion of two worlds would surely bring great harm to one of them. A weaker world could even be destroyed outright.

Alice's world was in serious danger. Judging by the image she posted, Those creatures were clearly far stronger than anything from her world.

That wasn't good news.

Takumi nodded thoughtfully at Zhongli's comment.

Takumi: [Probably?] [But right now, there's no active quest in the group.]

No quests had been posted yet. So Takumi couldn't draw conclusions.

After chatting a while with the old man in the group, Takumi closed the chat. Then, he started checking the situation in Aincrad.

Using the control system in the backend, Takumi quickly got an overview of what was happening there.

Many people had already entered. Even ordinary folks were spending money just to visit.

After all, it was a floating city. Naturally, it attracted a lot of interest.

Not to mention—people could learn magic here.

Though Takumi had already made magic available, Many still didn't understand it. They hadn't been exposed to it before, So they had to ask people from Velier for guidance.

Many now possessed superpowers, And had more or less learned basic magic.

But they lacked real combat experience. Now they had a chance to gain it.

Though they had regular jobs, their current lifestyle was more relaxed. Improving their strength was the real priority.

Besides the little girls, some folks from Velier also showed up.

Takumi even spotted Kevin wandering through Aincrad.

Clearly, he was interested in what Takumi had built.

Seeing Kevin made Takumi chuckle. He vanished from where he was and headed over to take a look.

Was Kevin planning to start from scratch and conquer all of Aincrad?
