Chapter 240: When Things Go Wrong, Don’t Panic—Just Immigrate

Takumi brought up a topic that sparked shiroyasha's interest, prompting her to chime in as well.

shiroyasha: [What you said does make a lot of sense.] [But it doesn't seem like there's much to worry about.] [After all, your power and hers are fundamentally different.] [The spiritual identities might be similar, but that's it.] [So something like that is basically not going to happen.] [There are tons of people in the Little Garden with similar spiritual traits.] [Besides, you might just be humanity's final trial.]

The more she thought about it, the more shiroyasha felt it was impossible for such a thing to occur. It's a fundamental difference.

If you dig into the powers of the Decadent Wind, isn't that pretty much the same as End? But that person is the Final Trial.

Kaguya Houraisan: [This is way over my head!] [@Shiina Maiko, you there? I'm heading over now.]

Kaguya Houraisan also appeared in the chat. She was already prepared and planning to head out.

Seeing someone tag her, Shiina Maiko quickly responded.

Shiina Maiko: [Just come over.] [I've had Prometheus make all the arrangements.]

Since Takumi wasn't around, Kaguya Houraisan had to turn to Shiina Maiko.

Takumi glanced at the situation in the group chat and smiled, choosing not to continue the topic.

He was definitely going to the Little Garden. After coming to Honkai: Star Rail, he basically had no worries left.

Takumi also realized one thing: all his power came from the chat group.

Isn't the chat group more advanced than the Little Garden? Just look at how the Imaginary Tree treats him.

No problem. No panic!

Rather than panic, Takumi was more curious about the chat group. What kind of existence was it really? Its power was borderline terrifying.

While Takumi wandered around, Ruiko Saten suddenly tagged him.

Ruiko Saten: [@Takumi, I think Aleister's really got his eyes on me!!] [shivering.jpg]

Ruiko Saten was in a panic. Her sudden power-up had caused a huge stir.

Now, many research institutes were inviting her to cooperate with them. Even the Board of Directors wanted her to transfer to Tokiwadai.

Someone clearly wanted to uncover the reason behind her transformation.

Academy City had an aptitude assessment system that basically predetermined the level of each person's esper abilities.

That assessment was essentially a test of innate potential—who could become Level 5, who might reach Level 6—it was all pre-determined.

But Ruiko Saten had broken that pattern. Her esper abilities had recently advanced to Level 4 in a short time span.

This naturally piqued interest. Did she just work hard?

If effort alone worked, there wouldn't be so many powerless or low-powered espers in Academy City.

Takumi: [Isn't this expected?] [But don't be scared!] [Worst case, just immigrate. If you can't win, just run. Not a big deal!] [If it gets bad, shiroyasha and I can drop by.] [Don't panic!] [Don't forget, we've got some real powerhouses in this group.] [@Izayoi, you're up. You've powered up, right? You must be pretty strong now.]

Izayoi should've enhanced himself by now, right?

With all the time that's passed, he's probably read through every novel out there.

After understanding his power, with his mind and a solid power-up, Izayoi could very well have become much stronger.

Izayoi: [That's right, I'm ridiculously strong now!] [Call me up anytime you need to fight!]

Izayoi was feeling great.

After understanding the power within him and his Simulated Star Creation Diagram, he decisively enhanced himself.

He now had much better control over his power.

Originally, Izayoi was already a candidate for the Original Text and humanity's Final Trial.

Back when he first arrived at the Little Garden, he was already a four-digit-level existence.

Now, after powering up, his strength had likely reached three-digit levels.

Even if not quite there, he was at least a peak four-digit combatant.

Basically, he was somewhere in that range.

Three-digit strength meant the ability to destroy a galaxy.

Two-digit was single-universe level, or even multiverse-level.

One-digit was multiversal-level.

Now, with his enhancements and the Simulated Star Creation Diagram, Izayoi could probably destroy a galaxy.

Though he hadn't tested it yet, he had a hunch.

In the Toaru world, as long as no magic gods show up, he'd have nothing to fear.

Ruiko Saten: [Umm...] [Alright!] [I'll do my best. If it doesn't work out, I'll run.] [I'll go to your world, get stronger, then come back.]

Ruiko Saten was a little frustrated.

Takumi saw this and, after thinking a bit, replied again in the group chat.

Takumi: [Don't worry, I'll head over to your world once I'm back.] [While I'm there, I'll have a chat with Aleister.] [It's not a big deal!]

The tens of thousands of yellow books and all the mysteries in the Toaru world were definitely worth exploring.

Esper powers... Takumi's world originally began with espers.

So of course he was curious enough to stop by.

When Ruiko Saten saw Takumi's reply, she finally relaxed.

Takumi coming over? That would be amazing.

Ais: [The weapon's ready.] [@Asuna Yuuki @Sagiri @Chika Fujiwara]

After Takumi and Ruiko Saten's conversation, others in the chat started popping up and chatting about other things.

Seeing this, Takumi smiled and didn't think much more, continuing to wander around.

Some were seriously watching Takumi's stream, enjoying the scenery from another world.

Though not everyone was keeping up with the chat.

After wandering around the world of Honkai: Star Rail for a while, Takumi felt it was time and returned to the Xianzhou Luofu.

There, he went straight to find Tingyun.

At that moment, Tingyun was with Yukong. Qingque was there too.

When Yukong learned Tingyun was still alive, she was overjoyed.

Qingque rushed over the moment she got the news.

They also learned that Tingyun was about to leave the ark with a certain Aeon.

Initially, they felt a bit down about it.

But after hearing from March 7 and the others about other worlds—and that Tingyun could return at any time—they quickly cheered up.

Qingque even shared her story of playing cards with Takumi.

Turns out, they were all connected after all.

What a coincidence, huh?

As the group chatted away, Takumi arrived, and naturally, everyone noticed immediately.
