Mei was stunned when she heard Takumi's words.
"Haha~!"
"Things are a bit complicated. I'll tell you when the time comes."
"By the way, let me introduce you to those cuties."
Himeko also laughed at this time.
Indeed, at that time, she should thank that girl Klee for discovering her.
Otherwise, she would really have died.
When Mei heard the reason, she was a little curious.
Still, she was grateful.
If Kiana knew that Himeko-sensei was still alive, she would be very happy.
Thinking of Kiana, Mei sighed.
"Anyway, thank you!"
Mei said this very seriously.
Takumi didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, at that moment, two people walked in from outside.
It was Su and Kevin.
Seeing Su and Kevin arriving—
The Thirteen Flame-Chasers also stepped forward.
Though it was strange to see two bodies that looked exactly the same.
After all, this was their consciousness.
But then something happened that even surprised Takumi.
The conscious bodies of Kevin and Su turned into rays of light and dissipated.
Then merged into Kevin and Su's real bodies.
Seeing this, Takumi was shocked.
Was this equivalent to an update?
So, when the original body enters here, it can overwrite the conscious body?
Takumi was instantly intrigued.
Besides updating, they could also receive all the news of what happened inside the Pure Land.
Takumi understood the mechanics.
However, if the original body is dead, it cannot be updated.
Like Elysia and the others.
Of course, there were other special cases—like when the conscious body overrides or traps the original body.
Like a certain Miss Snake.
Thinking of that, Takumi looked toward Mebius.
Mebius also stared at Takumi with great interest.
That gaze looked exactly like she had found a perfect test subject.
He didn't need to think too hard—
She clearly saw Takumi as an experimental specimen.
Her current mindset probably wanted to strap Takumi to a lab table immediately.
He knew that look—the look of someone eyeing a little white mouse.
Well, he would need to find a chance to bully her later.
Kevin and Su, after greeting Takumi, turned their attention to the rest of the Flame-Chasers.
"He can help us resurrect…"
"Now, our world still has some time left before the final collapse."
"Next, I hope all of you can help him develop the civilization of this world."
Kevin got straight to the point.
After thoroughly understanding this world's situation—
He already had a plan.
The stronger the civilization, the stronger Takumi would become.
If that was the case—
Then they would develop this world's civilization as fast as possible.
Raise the civilization of this world to its peak.
If Mei were here, she would do it even faster.
If she were present, she would uplift this entire world's civilization in minutes.
But it didn't matter.
Among the Flame-Chasers, many were more than qualified.
Kevin had already decided.
The Thirteen Flame-Chasers were meaningless back in their original world now.
So they might as well stay in this world.
Help raise its civilization.
Wait until Takumi becomes strong enough.
Then ask him to travel to their world and kill the Honkai God.
Although it felt like leading a wolf into the house—
But there was no helping it.
Of course, ideally, they would defeat it themselves.
If they couldn't, only Takumi remained as the last option.
Possibly the best option too.
Unless absolutely necessary, Kevin would never let outsiders interfere with his world.
Kevin stared at everyone.
Everyone stared back.
They had known each other long enough to understand what he was thinking.
"I have no objections."
Su spoke first.
Everyone fell silent.
Of course Su had no objections.
Everyone even suspected that this idea came from Su in the first place.
But after some thought, they each nodded.
"So, do I get to go out and help?"
Mebius licked her lips.
She looked far too excited.
Hearing her suggestion, everyone fell silent again.
"No."
"You stay."
"I don't want you tearing the world apart."
Kevin rejected her instantly.
If he let her out, she would probably turn this world upside down.
He understood Mebius very well.
"Vill-V, Elysia—you two can go out."
"As for resurrection, we'll take it slowly."
"Some people might not even be dead."
"We need to think carefully."
Kevin's eyes swept over everyone.
Especially Fu Hua.
If Fu Hua were resurrected, there would be two Fu Huas.
Actually—three.
The new Herrscher of Sentience had also appeared.
Thinking of the girl who beat him, Kevin felt his heart ache.
No—he needed to go back soon.
There were still things to handle over there.
"Oops!"
"Resurrect me?"
"Sure!"
"I agree! I want to see this beautiful new world!"
Of course Elysia wanted to go out.
She was suffocating from being trapped in here.
Even though she knew she was dead—
Now she had the chance to be revived. How could she refuse?
Even if no one else wanted it, she certainly did.
Takumi listened to them in silence.
He couldn't help thinking—
Kevin's plan was outrageous.
But… this was indeed something Kevin would say.
Helping Tivat develop technology as fast as possible?
Interesting.
And he seemed serious.
But this was beneficial to Takumi, so he had no reason to reject it.
Mebius was unhappy.
She stared at Kevin coldly.
Her mood instantly dropped.
Kevin didn't care.
He continued:
"Even if you don't leave, you can still work."
"And this world already has the Internet."
"With your abilities, connecting Paradise to the outside network shouldn't be difficult."
Kevin glanced at Takumi.
This guy possessed too many Herrscher powers.
This wouldn't be hard for him.
Honestly—if possible, Kevin didn't want the Flame-Chasers leaving the Pure Land.
None of them were easy to deal with.
He was worried that if they all went out—
They would end up fighting the gods of this world.
After all, the gods here seemed a bit…
It wasn't that Kevin looked down on them.
But except for a select few, the other gods weren't very strong.
Some of the Flame-Chasers could fight Herrschers alone.
Some could crush Herrschers outright.
Even their researchers possessed terrifying strength.
The gods of this world might not handle them well.
Best to let fewer leave.
