Chapter 191: Humans? Humans Aren’t This Ridiculous!!

Takumi looked at Kaguya's message and, for some reason, felt a hint of expectation in her tone.

But he wasn't a Lunarian.

He was still human!

He had simply fused with the talents of others.

Takumi: [Sorry, I'm still human!] [Sorry to disappoint!!]

Seeing that, Kaguya was speechless.

"I don't believe you, you bastard!!" "You're clearly not human anymore, okay?" "Have you ever seen a human as ridiculously strong as you?"

In her room, Kaguya couldn't help but rant.

Right away, she replied in the chat:

Houraisan Kaguya: [You're not human! You're a Herrscher!!] [Don't pretend to be human! Humans aren't this strong!!]

She refused to acknowledge Takumi as a human.

Fujiwara Chika: [Agreed!]

Fujiwara Chika totally supported the sentiment.

Indeed, Takumi had stopped being human long ago.

Seeing their messages, Takumi twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth.

"Whatever." "I can't be bothered to argue with them." "If I say I'm human, then I am." "Why would I need your approval?"

Takumi muttered and decided to drop the topic.

Saten Ruiko: [Made it home safe!] [No one invited me for tea!!] [(^▽^*)]

Saten was overjoyed.

She hadn't been called in after returning. It seemed no one had noticed anything.

Takumi was slightly surprised.

Had Aleister not noticed anything strange about Ruiko yesterday?

Or perhaps he did but didn't care?

Takumi: [He might've noticed but didn't think it was important, or he's secretly observing you.] [Just be careful.]

Takumi had no doubt about that sly guy's capabilities.

Seeing his message, Ruiko paused for a moment but quickly turned serious.

She couldn't let her guard down!

Grow quietly, no recklessness!

Once she became a Level 5, she'd shock everyone.

And maybe tweak some of the plot.

If things didn't work out, she'd just run!

Though her points weren't enough, a few more log-ins would solve that.

She could flee straight to Takumi's world. Let them come after her if they dared!

Saten Ruiko: [Got it!] [I'm going to quietly power up now!!] ?(?????)?

Fujiwara Chika: [Too bad. If you had more time, you could've studied abroad in Takumi's world.] [Although it's annoying to still have summer school,] [Improving your strength makes it worth it!!]

Study well, and once she mastered it all, she'd amaze everyone when she returned!

Zhongli: [I'm planning to undergo two rounds of enhancement as well.] [My points are sufficient for now.]

Currently in Takumi's world, he wasn't worried about Celestia waking up and causing trouble.

Takumi: [I'll come take a look!]

He closed the chat and teleported to Zhongli's location.

"Old man, you've never strengthened yourself before?"

Takumi looked at him with curiosity.

"No, I haven't." "I spent all my points on healing wear and tear before."

Zhongli shook his head.

He had used his points to recover his damaged body.

After all, healing was also a way to restore his strength.

Now, his wear and tear were healed, and he had accumulated more points.

So he decided to strengthen himself twice.

Takumi understood.

Zhongli had others to heal too.

"Do you have enough points?" "If not, I can lend you some."

Takumi looked at him.

Zhongli probably didn't have enough.

He still had to help Azhdaha with his recovery.

So he might be short.

"No need!" "I have enough right now." "I've already treated Ruotuo once." "He's recovered a good bit." "Taking it slow is fine."

Zhongli wasn't in a rush now.

Especially since Xiao had already been healed by Takumi.

So he needed fewer points.

"Alright." "If you ever need anything, just let me know."

Since Zhongli didn't need help now, Takumi dropped the subject.

They didn't dwell on it.

Zhongli began his enhancement.

As soon as he activated the first round, his aura surged.

His strength instantly doubled.

Feeling the changes, Zhongli was stunned.

"This power isn't uncontrollable." "With my current strength, I should be able to take on Celestia."

Zhongli was a warrior god by nature…

He only started being reasonable later on.

His reputation in Teyvat had been earned in battle.

He never bowed to Celestia.

Now, with his power massively boosted, he felt he could challenge them.

A smile appeared on his face.

"One more!" "Let's go."

"I should hit planet-busting level, right?"

Zhongli could already destroy a continent easily.

The next step would be explosive star-level power.

Would he reach it?

Hearing him, Takumi nodded.

Zhongli didn't hesitate.

He used 10,000 points.

In an instant, his aura erupted.

A dense rocky presence spread outward.

Takumi quickly sealed the aura.

Didn't want to scare the kids.

Zhongli now felt an unprecedented surge of power.

Standing on the ground, he could feel the pulse of the entire planet.

If he wanted, he could destroy the whole planet.

He opened his eyes—now vertical pupils.

"By your previous scale, I should be Level 8 now?" "Explosive star-level power."

He sensed himself, then looked at Takumi.

Takumi checked and nodded.

"That's right!"

"Destroying a planet is pretty simple for you now."

Zhongli's power was linked to earth and stone.

Destroying a planet was indeed easy for him now.

He could detonate it in one shot.

"Congrats!"

"Even if you return to Teyvat now, you'd be invincible."

Takumi sincerely congratulated him.

Zhongli smiled.

"Thanks!"

Then his gaze turned to the construction robots in the distance.

"Let me test this power."

"Could you ask those robots to step back a bit?"

"I want to see if I can build the framework of Liyue Harbor all at once."

"After that, we can just slowly decorate it."

Zhongli decided to test his power by building with stone.

He planned to alter its properties to be like cement.

The rest could be done gradually.
