With the space so chaotic, if you don't stick together,
you'll definitely be separated.
You might even find yourself suddenly flung into another place because of a spatial anomaly.
Takumi:
[@Fujiwara Chika @Bronya @Yuu @Akeno, pay attention, something big is coming—global-scale fusion.]
[Try to stay close together, don't get scattered by the spatial fluctuations, otherwise I'll have to come and rescue you.]
Takumi tagged them in the group chat.
The ones Takumi @'d were the real priority.
As for the old man and Miori Shiba, they weren't a big concern for now.
Even if they got thrown somewhere, they'd still be able to manage with their strength.
With them, you didn't need to worry much.
At the same time, Takumi's expression became serious.
The Gourmet World probably wouldn't descend here, right?
If it actually did, Takumi needed to be prepared.
If the Gourmet World was drawn in by the fusion of the two worlds,
then this world would really be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Takumi immediately summoned Kevin, Senkei, and Cosmo back,
and brought Miori Shiba as well.
Kevin and the others also noticed the intense spatial fluctuations.
Before they could even get their bearings, they realized Takumi had pulled them over.
Cosmo stepped out from his Gundam, looking at Takumi in confusion.
"Did you feel it?
The other world is about to fully merge into this one.
We're in for big trouble.
I pulled you over so I can deploy you quickly!"
"If the Gourmet World appears, that'll be the biggest disaster."
The power of the Eight Kings needed no explanation.
In their eyes, humans were nothing more than ants.
Real ants!
Just the sheer size of the Eight Kings could easily inflict catastrophic destruction on this world.
So Takumi had no choice but to take this very seriously.
Hearing this, everyone's faces grew grim.
"Understood.
From now on, send us wherever you need us,"
Kevin said solemnly.
Senkei and Cosmo nodded,
saying nothing more.
Cosmo even put his mecha away.
Though the Gundam was powerful, from here on out, he'd rely on his own strength.
After saying this, Takumi turned his gaze to the IGO headquarters.
The sudden spatial upheaval had thrown the IGO into chaos.
Takumi thought for a moment,
then reached out and pulled Aru over.
Aru, who had been exploring this new world, was suddenly yanked over by Takumi and was momentarily stunned.
"Mr. Aru, IGO has already descended.
Your world will now fully merge with this one.
Please go and tell your chairman about the current situation.
It's possible the Gourmet World itself might appear here!"
Takumi spoke gravely to the dumbfounded Aru.
Upon hearing this, Aru was shocked.
He looked around and immediately spotted the familiar IGO headquarters.
"I understand!
I'll head back right away."
Without wasting any time, Aru rushed over to the IGO building.
If the Gourmet World really descended, the people of this world would be in grave danger.
Aru hurried back to IGO and found Chairman Ichiryu, immediately telling him everything.
Seeing Aru barge in with this news, Ichiryu's expression changed instantly.
"Oh, by the way—
The Gourmet Society's leader, Toriko, has already been captured by Mr. Takumi,"
Aru suddenly remembered and quickly added.
Hearing this, Ichiryu's pupils contracted sharply.
"I see.
So the two worlds are merging?"
To be honest, this really was astonishing news.
If not for Aru, he might have thought IGO was under attack.
"Unfortunately... we can't contact the other IGO members right now,"
Ichiryu glanced at the communicator in his hand.
There was no signal since arriving in this world—the frequencies were all different.
"That's not a problem!
Leave it to me.
I'll restore communications for you."
At that moment, Takumi's voice suddenly came from the communicator.
Aru was startled.
"Mr. Takumi?"
Wow, he just hacked straight in?
"I'll leave it to you then, Mr. Takumi.
Right now, the urgent thing is to maintain order in this world."
Although Ichiryu was shocked,
he quickly adjusted.
Now was not the time to chit-chat with Takumi.
He needed to assemble all IGO members
and have them protect humanity,
as well as guard against the Gourmet World's arrival.
As for the Gourmet Society... that would also need to be watched.
But with Mr. Takumi on their side, he was sure most issues would be handled.
Takumi immediately adjusted their comms frequencies,
allowing the devices to work in this world.
Ichiryu noticed this right away
and wasted no time issuing commands,
informing all IGO members:
Two worlds are merging.
Because this is an ordinary world,
it's vital to prevent gourmet creatures from inflicting devastating harm.
All members are to enter a wartime footing.
Anyone who's descended must protect this world's people.
Some IGO members, who had suddenly found themselves in this world, were baffled by the order,
but quickly adapted and began following Ichiryu's commands.
A new world!
It really was astonishing news.
If they did well here, IGO's reputation would soar in this new world.
Many had already figured it out and began acting.
Takumi watched Ichiryu issue his orders and nodded in satisfaction.
There really were a lot of strong people in IGO.
And they were professionals at handling gourmet creatures, so he didn't have to worry.
Once all this was handled, Takumi sat quietly, waiting.
About half an hour later,
the fusion finally began.
In an instant, the whole planet shook as if in an earthquake.
People all over this world watched in bewilderment as forests and other features appeared out of nowhere.
Some found huge cracks splitting open in their neighborhoods.
Countless people were dumbfounded.
In fact, some countries even appeared within the borders of others!
Takumi kept a close watch on all this,
and seeing it happen, he was speechless.
After thinking it over for a bit, Takumi came up with a plan.
Since things were like this,
he decided to interfere a little:
He moved all the uninhabited areas into Dragon Country's territory,
directly expanding the map to make it the world's largest.
At the same time, he sent all the unfriendly neighbors right over to their "fathers'" doorstep.
