Chapter 316: Pink-Haired Girls Are Usually Pretty Cute

Elysia didn't just meet Lala—she also got to know Momo, Nana, and their mother. As for Lala's dad?

Elysia completely ignored him.

When a bunch of women gathered, the atmosphere immediately turned lively.

King Deviluke didn't say anything about it. Instead, he stepped forward and started talking to Takumi.

"Since I arrived in your world, I've felt a change in the energy within me. Will this change affect my own world as well?"

At the moment, King Deviluke wasn't concerned about anything else—only this.

Even though he had only been in this world for a short time, he could clearly sense the shift inside his body. He had been in a weak state with little energy, so any changes were very apparent to him. Now, sensing this internal transformation, he couldn't help but be stirred.

Could it be that he would recover from this?

Was this world really that beneficial?

"Yes. Every world connected to mine will be affected," Takumi replied without hiding anything.

As long as a world connected to his, its energy would gradually transform into Honkai energy. However, the core essence of some things would remain unchanged—like Gourmet Cells.

So it was only natural that the energy within King Deviluke's body would start changing.

Hearing this, King Deviluke frowned.

"There has to be a catch, right?"

Was it really that beneficial? Would there be problems once the energy changed? He needed to be sure.

"There won't be any issues. In fact, you'll gain significant benefits. And the source of that energy... is me."

Takumi smiled at him.

King Deviluke's eyes widened.

What!?

He was the source?

Now King Deviluke was truly stunned. That meant this man could control all energy?

Was this an invasion?

He examined his own condition—he couldn't expel the new energy. So when Lala connected their world via the portal, had she essentially sold them out?

King Deviluke's mouth twitched. This might have been a little rash.

"Don't worry," said Takumi. "There won't be any problems. Besides, Lala and I are friends, right? What could go wrong?"

All that was happening was energy unification.

Standardizing the path, the text, and now even the energy—what harm could it bring?

King Deviluke gave Takumi a deep look.

"I hope so."

Even if there were problems, it wasn't like he could do anything about it.

He felt helpless.

He'd been tricked by his daughter!

But… oh well. As long as she was happy, she could do whatever she wanted.

Maybe it wasn't so bad.

If something ever happened to their world, Takumi would probably help, right? After all, they were now neighbors.

And Takumi seemed like a decent guy—strong, for one.

He watched Takumi and thought: if this continues, maybe I should marry one of my daughters off to him. Once they were family, everything would be easier.

King Deviluke quickly made up his mind.

He looked around at Takumi's surroundings.

"Is this the outskirts? And is that a spaceship base over there? Why do some of those ships look so strange?"

He looked at the giant locomotive in the distance and was baffled.

Trains? What era was this?

"That's an interstellar train," Takumi explained. "My world was once destroyed. Everything now is newly developed. The Science Academy is preparing to explore the universe. They've already found traces of alien civilizations and plan to go conquer them."

Upon hearing this, King Deviluke's eyes lit up.

"An interstellar war? Now that's interesting. I've got experience in that field. Need help?"

He was a professional when it came to star wars.

Takumi was caught off guard.

"Emm… If you're interested, you can go over and learn more. I don't interfere in their development. My world is connected to many others. One is a world full of food, another is a game world. If you're curious, feel free to explore."

Helping out wouldn't be an issue.

Takumi gave him a quick overview of the world.

Hearing all this, King Deviluke nodded.

"My name is Gid. You can call me Gid from now on."

He was genuinely interested and formally introduced himself to Takumi. Mainly because he couldn't beat Takumi. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so polite.

But after arriving, he had already sensed the presence of many powerful individuals.

Like the woman chatting with his wife and daughters—she looked friendly but had terrifying power.

Even more strong individuals were lurking in the distance.

This world was full of elites.

Not to mention, Takumi had said this world had already been destroyed once.

Clearly, he needed to study this world carefully.

"Alright, Mr. Gid. Here, take this terminal. You can use the network to look things up, or ask the built-in AI. Everyone in our world has one of these."

Takumi handed him a terminal, then walked over to Lala and the others, giving each of them one as well.

"This is a terminal. Lala, I'm giving you two—one as backup, the other for you to disassemble. Princess Sephie, here's one for you as well. I won't stay much longer. I need to go gather some ingredients. Elysia, I'm leaving them in your care."

Takumi gave everyone their terminals.

He specifically gave Lala two, knowing she'd want to take one apart.

Technology from another world was just too fascinating for her.

Elysia proudly patted her chest.

"Leave it to me! Elysia is a top-tier tour guide!"

No problem!

She could already tell she got along great with Lala and the others.

Giving them a tour of this world sounded like a lot of fun.

With that, Takumi was ready to leave.

"I'll come with you. Are you heading to that world?"

Just as Takumi was about to go, Gid spoke up.

The terminal Takumi gave him was currently displaying information about the Gourmet Hunter world.

After a brief glance, Gid was immediately intrigued.
