Chapter 331: First Thing After Arrival—Go Online!

Mechanoids.

Whether they were the ones modified later, or those originally brought back from the No Game No Life world, all of them now possessed their own consciousness and emotions.

At this point, they could be considered a new race entirely.

Because of this, Prometheus didn't interfere with them.

Unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn't get involved.

Prometheus held extremely high authority in Takumi's world.

She could control anything mechanical.

That was a permission granted by Takumi.

However, she refrained from controlling the Mechanoids.

Hearing her report, Takumi nodded.

This setup was fine.

After reviewing the team that had departed, Takumi felt reassured.

The current unit was formidable.

Conquering a star system was something they could do effortlessly.

There shouldn't be any problems.

Takumi had previously scouted that alien civilization.

They weren't particularly powerful.

Only a few hundred years into being a spacefaring civilization.

Now that Kosma's forces were there, they could likely overpower them with ease.

Once subdued, they could slowly erode them from within.

"Dr. Mei submitted a proposal."

"Lord Takumi, please review it."

At that moment, Prometheus displayed a document.

Takumi was puzzled but curious.

When he read the contents, he was stunned.

"Deploying Honkai against unfriendly alien civilizations?"

The proposal was simple.

Takumi was advised to consider deploying Honkai against particularly hostile alien civilizations.

Honkai itself was a weapon against civilization.

If communication failed and the aliens possessed strong technological capabilities,

Takumi could release Honkai upon them.

This might even enhance Takumi's power.

While Takumi didn't intend to destroy civilizations,

his nature as Honkai meant he gained power the stronger a civilization was.

In essence, he could use other civilizations as nourishment.

Reading through the plan, Takumi stroked his chin thoughtfully.

This strategy targeted only the hostile ones.

Dr. Mei hadn't told him earlier—likely because they hadn't encountered truly hostile civilizations yet.

Still, it was a clever idea.

Takumi had the power to grow alongside civilizations—or to destroy them.

Against the uncooperative, he could shift his approach.

Drop Honkai directly.

If aliens existed in the universe,

there would surely be more of them.

This was a viable path.

Not every civilization cherished peace.

After pondering the details, Takumi fell into deep thought.

It really wasn't a bad suggestion.

"Alright... let me know when we find a suitable civilization."

Takumi didn't object.

The universe was massive.

He didn't even know how many civilizations were out there.

He had only scanned the Milky Way in detail.

He hadn't yet investigated the rest of the galaxies.

But surely, others existed.

He just hadn't noticed.

"Understood."

Prometheus replied and vanished.

After reviewing space operations, Takumi turned his attention back to his own world.

What were the newcomers up to?

Everyone who came to Takumi's world received a terminal and an ID.

That terminal also served as a surveillance device.

Takumi could see what they were up to.

The terminal functioned like a smartphone.

Unless you didn't use it or hid it,

Takumi would know your whereabouts.

Even if you hid it in another dimension,

he could still track it.

As long as you were in Takumi's world,

you were under his watch.

"What are you up to?"

As Takumi was scanning data, Bronya walked over.

"Checking the state of the world."

"Seeing how well the newcomers are integrating."

Hearing that, Bronya scoffed.

"Most of them became gourmet hunters."

"No need to check."

"Especially the familias from Orario."

"They all ran off to become gourmet hunters."

"Even people from Gensokyo are doing the same."

"Miss Yuuka Kazami even acquired some land and started planting sunflowers from the Gourmet World."

She was well-informed.

She had just finished checking.

Takumi wasn't too surprised.

"That place really is popular."

"Even a lot of the Winged Ones are heading there."

It left Takumi speechless.

Many newcomers headed straight to the Gourmet Hunter world.

Even some draconic kin did the same.

Several worlds were bustling now.

"Well, everyone loves good food."

Bronya chuckled and leaned on Takumi's shoulder, playing with her terminal.

Together, they checked the world's status.

All in all, everything was going smoothly.

Even Esdeath's army had been organized.

Lilia was helping her out.

After browsing the info, Takumi stopped paying attention.

Let the world grow at its own pace.

Meanwhile, in Liyue, Ningguang received the first batch of people sent by Zhongli.

Upon receiving the space bracelet, she handed it over to Keqing to release them.

In the newly built Liyue Harbor,

Keqing returned with the bracelet and began releasing its contents.

As the bracelet opened,

a crowd appeared.

Leading them were several immortals in human form.

Returning to this world, Cloud Retainer immediately activated her terminal to connect online.

Among those arriving were Xingqiu, Chongyun, Beidou, Qiqi, Yaoyao, Yun Jin, and Shenhe.

They had all been sent by Ganyu.

Also included were many ordinary Liyue citizens.

As they stepped out and saw the familiar yet subtly different place,

many froze.

Was this the Jade Chamber?

But it looked newer than before.

"Keqing!"

Beidou called out with excitement.

"Lady Keqing!"

"Keqing-jie!"

The others followed, greeting her warmly.

Seeing all these familiar faces, Keqing's face broke into a wide smile.
