Chapter 287: This Woman Is Trouble

After Takumi returned home, he didn't go out again. During dinner, Gabriel came over and met everyone in the household.

However, Agulora and the others didn't seem very fond of Gabriel. The same went for Little Jibril. When she saw the angel, she immediately wanted to throw hands.

But Gabriel, upon seeing Little Jibril, lit up with admiration.

"You look just like an angel. Are you interested in becoming one? I can help you reincarnate."

Gabriel extended an invitation to Jibril. Want to be an angel? If so, I can make it happen anytime.

"Who wants to be an angel?! I'd rather be a dog than an angel! Ptooey!"

Jibril scowled with disdain.

Hearing that, Gabriel was stunned.

"Huh?" Gabriel was instantly offended. "What did you just say, you little brat?"

She angrily pinched Jibril's cheeks.

You look like an angel, so I wanted to help you. And you throw it back in my face?

She was pissed!

"Let go of me, you dumb bird-brain!!" Jibril fumed. She was absolutely livid. How dare this bird treat her like this?

With no strength in her current state, Jibril struggled violently.

"Heh! Today's the day I teach you some manners."

Gabriel grabbed her and dragged her off to knead and squish.

That'll teach you to talk back!

Soon, Jibril's angry protests echoed through the villa.

Takumi watched the scene and chuckled.

He didn't intervene. Let them play.

He opened the group chat and turned his attention to something else.

Izayoi still had a World Access Gate.

Takumi: [@Izayoi] Who ended up with the gate?

Since they completed the mission together, it should be one of them.

Izayoi: [Takumi's Red Packet] [Here you go!] [No use keeping it myself.]

As soon as Takumi asked, Izayoi sent it over.

He had no use for the thing. If Takumi wanted it, take it.

After all, Takumi's world needed it to merge with others.

Takumi accepted without ceremony.

No points exchanged. Just took it.

Takumi: [Alright, I'll take it.]

Kudou Asuka: [Another World Access Gate? Your world's starting to look like Little Garden. Planning to build something like that?]

Asuka was curious about Takumi's plans. Would he model his world like Little Garden? Or something else?

Izayoi: [I think it should become a central hub connecting all worlds. That's cooler. If any world could access yours, it'd be perfect.]

Izayoi was quite intrigued by the idea. Why copy Little Garden? Make it the center of all worlds!

Takumi had already gathered so many people from different realms. If he could create portals to all worlds, that'd be ideal.

He might even move there himself!

Takumi paused, reading the messages. He hadn't really considered it.

How should his world develop?

Multicultural bloom?

Takumi's world, while full of newcomers, hadn't even explored space properly.

So this was a future goal.

Takumi: [Let's take it slow. We've just started exploring the universe. Once we've mapped things out, we'll see.]

No rush. He hadn't even owned this world for a full year, and already it had progressed this much.

Slow growth was fine.

With a long lifespan, he had all the time in the world to develop things.

Seeing that, Izayoi dropped the topic.

Black Tower: [Takumi's Red Packet] [Möbius and Vilvi.] [They've completed their studies.]

Takumi blinked at the notice. Oh right, those two were still there.

He quickly accepted and released Möbius and Vilvi from his space bracelet.

Seeing Möbius again surprised him.

She was no longer in her child form, but a mature woman.

Vilvi, meanwhile, hadn't changed.

"Finally back! Takumi, I want to build a train to explore space! Help me!!"

Vilvi's eyes lit up as she clung to his arm. She wanted a train like the Astral Express.

Takumi was speechless.

"Möbius is already on it. She's planning to terraform Mars into a launching pad for interstellar exploration."

Möbius had been working on that nonstop. While Takumi was away, she'd almost completed preparations.

Vilvi's eyes sparkled.

"Really?! Great! I'm off then."

She didn't even stick around—just bolted out.

Once she was gone, Takumi turned to Möbius.

"So, what's your status? Fully recovered?"

She must've gained quite a bit.

Möbius smiled, lips curving slyly.

"How do I look? Pretty amazing now that I'm grown, right?"

She beamed at him, serpentine eyes full of anticipation.

"Eh… you're alright."

Takumi gave her a blank look. Did she really change back just to brag?

"I heard you brought back some vampires and other races."

She scanned the room.

Beyond the familiar faces, there were twelve identical twins. Then Esdeath and a thoroughly bullied Jibril under Gabriel's control.

She glanced at Esdeath and understood immediately.

Herrscher of Ice?

Right, a weakling Herrscher.

Old Era's Ice Herrscher was soloed by Qianjie.

Current Era's Ice Herrscher got stomped too.

All weaklings.

In Möbius's eyes, Esdeath was just another weakling Herrscher.

As for the twelve with varied powers—that must be the vampires.
