Chapter 274: We Didn't Want to Obey, But He Was Too Strong

Takumi's action had undoubtedly left everyone dumbfounded.

Goodness! Was something like that even possible?

Everyone was instantly stunned.

Even the Celestial Winged who witnessed everything firsthand were about to pop their eyes out.

"Good grief!!"

Jibril exclaimed in disbelief.

He got the Star Grail just like that?

She thought Takumi was going to blast something at the planet below.

But this?

He just pulled the Star Grail straight out from the void?

Takumi held the Star Grail in both hands, examining the item in awe.

"It represents all the rules of this world."

"Moreover, it can freely modify anything within the world."

"It's equivalent to the core of the entire world."

"Tsk tsk."

"So that's what it is."

When Takumi grasped the Grail, he felt he could do absolutely anything.

Of course, this only applied within this world.

He could literally do anything.

Whoever possesses the Star Grail essentially holds the highest authority in this world.

After experiencing that power, Takumi couldn't help clicking his tongue.

Immediately, he began analyzing the Grail.

Now that he had taken it, he was the master of it.

Maybe, when he returned to his own world, he should make something like this as well.

The Cocoon of the End was already bound to his world.

Creating something similar wouldn't be hard for him.

After all, Takumi was the ruler of that world.

As his analysis deepened, Takumi gradually understood more and more.

The Star Grail was entirely constructed from the rules of the world.

Discovering this, his eyes lit up.

Right now, the world's rules were a blank slate. Whatever rules Takumi wanted to set could be implemented via the Grail.

Staring at the artifact in his hands, a bold idea surfaced in his mind.

If all the worlds were to merge, then their rules would certainly merge too.

At that time, even things like Transit Gates would likely exist.

Although he wasn't sure how far apart his world and this one were...

With the Transit Gate acting as a coordinate, could he perhaps merge this new unified world into his own world?

After considering its feasibility, Takumi grew even more excited.

He absolutely had to try this!

If this really worked, it would be fascinating.

Holding the Star Grail, Takumi began to explain aloud.

"From today on, this world shall abide by Ten Covenants."

"First: All acts of killing, warfare, and plunder are forbidden."

"Second: All conflicts shall be resolved through games."

"Third: Games must be wagered with things both parties deem of equal value."

"Fourth: As long as the third covenant is not violated, the game content and stakes shall not be restricted."

"Fifth: The challenged party has the right to determine the game."

"Sixth: Wagers made in accordance with the covenants must be strictly upheld."

"Seventh: Disputes between groups must appoint a representative."

"Eighth: In the event of cheating during a game, discovery equals defeat."

"Ninth: The above covenants are immutable and absolute under the name of God."

"Tenth: Let's all play games together in peace."

Takumi had directly transplanted the Ten Covenants in full.

As his voice fell, the Star Grail emitted a radiant glow.

The once gray sky turned bright blue.

In areas of perpetual night and day, the stars of the universe slowly became visible.

In an instant, the entire world began to undergo drastic transformation.

Additionally, all races in this world felt the enforcement of the covenants begin.

Everyone sensed a strange power descending.

Now they couldn't attack others from their own world?

From now on, if they wanted to fight someone, they had to initiate a wager?

Good grief!

Everyone was stunned.

But some of the weaker races were thrilled.

In no time, the world was abuzz with uproar.

Of course, none of this had much to do with Takumi himself.

At that moment, the God of War, Ashutel, had listened to all of Takumi's rules.

He couldn't help but ask,

"These rules only apply to people of this world, right?"

"If the worlds merge, then people from other worlds don't have to abide by them?"

He was surprised when Takumi said, "From today onward, this world..."

Because the worlds were about to merge.

So the rules only applied to this world?

Hearing that, Takumi smiled.

"That's right."

"But I'm really curious—if the worlds merge, will these rules carry over too?"

"Or will we have to reestablish new ones?"

"When so many worlds come together, which one will take the lead?"

"These are all things I want to find out."

That's partly why he copied the Ten Covenants.

If things didn't work out, he could just change them later.

If the world rules really did merge into a unified rulebook—

Then it would be interesting.

By then, with the Star Grail in hand, Takumi would essentially hold authority over a world formed by the fusion of many others.

"I see!"

Ashutel nodded.

He didn't say anything else after that.

Whatever Takumi wanted to do was fine.

His mind was now fully focused on traveling to other worlds and battling powerful opponents.

With everything settled, Takumi decided to stay in the Celestial Winged territory for now.

"Once the worlds merge, I'll have someone take you back."

"It might take a few days."

"I'll be staying here for the time being."

Ashutel nodded again upon hearing this.

He didn't say much.

"Azril, take your new master to rest."

Ashutel said this and closed his eyes, preparing to rest.

A few days were nothing. He could wait.

Azril felt a little frustrated when she heard this.

But she didn't say anything.

After witnessing Takumi pull out the Star Grail just like that...

She had no choice but to accept it.

They couldn't beat him!

He was even stronger than Lord Ashutel.

They had no choice but to behave now.

From now on, they were Takumi's.

With that thought, Azril gave a signal to Takumi.

Then led him outside, with the other Celestial Winged following.

With the dust settled, many among the Celestial Winged grew curious about Takumi.

"Lord Takumi, are you really from another world?"

The irreverent Jibril rushed up and began asking questions about the other worlds.

She was incredibly curious about Takumi.

If Takumi came from another world, then surely he brought books from there too?

Jibril was now extremely curious about such things.

Hearing her question, Takumi looked at her with a smile.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Just ask directly."

"I really am from another world."

Little Jibril was like a mushroom stewing in curiosity—soon, she'd get a taste of the big mushrooms herself.

Takumi knew exactly what kind of person she was.
