Takumi cheated.
What the hell!!
Shiroyasha was speechless when she saw this message.
She was also envious.
Damn it, why didn't anyone cheat for her?
Shiroyasha:
[Takumi, onii-chan, I'm hungry, I'm hanging melons!]
Onii-chan, look at me.
How about you give me some attention?
Can you help me cheat too?
I want to level up as well.
Takumi:
[Ugly rejection!]
[Move aside.]
Who do you think you are?
You want to cheat too?
Forget it.
Shiroyasha:
[()[凸]
I despise you—a guy who values girls over comrades.
Seriously, now that Fujiwara Chika is living in your house, you're just boosting her power, huh?
Aren't you feeling something?
At that moment, Shiroyasha began to have doubts.
Could it be true?
Takumi and Fujiwara Chika and those girls have something going on?
Just look at who asked the question earlier!
It must be like that.
Shiroyasha felt she had uncovered something.
When did this start?
She was confused.
Normally, it wasn't obvious.
If today hadn't played out like this, she wouldn't have suspected anything.
She was honestly super envious!
She wanted to get close to beautiful girls too!
Shiroyasha couldn't help but complain in her heart.
But she didn't spread any gossip.
She didn't want to be targeted by Takumi.
Even a few careless words could provoke him.
As the boss of this world, Takumi could easily make her life difficult.
After all, she was living under someone else's roof.
Shaking her head, Shiroyasha dropped the thought.
She kept chatting in the group like nothing happened.
Well, Takumi had one more card in his hand.
Though he didn't even realize Shiroyasha had guessed what was going on between him and Fujiwara Chika.
After chatting for a while, Takumi stopped paying attention to them.
There was nothing interesting to talk about with this bunch.
Most members were just lurking.
Some hadn't spoken in ages.
Naturally, over time, relationships faded.
Takumi sighed.
Isn't this what growing up means?
After closing the chat group, Takumi looked at the dimensional map on Prometheus' side.
He focused on the area they were currently in.
Thanks to Prometheus' scanning, the area's structure was forming into a circle.
No doubt, the location where the laws were active was shaping into a circular pattern.
Was this a doorway?
A special region, an entrance to other dimensions.
It functioned like a gateway.
That's why the laws were so active, birthing many worlds.
Or was this the dimensional center?
"Prometheus, have you detected any powerful worlds in this area?"
Takumi was puzzled.
Logically, a place like this should contain strong worlds.
But so far, nothing?
Very strange.
So far, all the worlds Takumi had collected were ordinary.
The strongest were just intermediate level.
How could a place with such active laws not have at least one advanced or top-tier world?
Surely there should be at least one world like Takumi's own?
But there was nothing?
Very subtle.
"None at all.
The worlds currently detected are intermediate,
approaching advanced level.
But no top-tier world has been found."
Prometheus immediately gave his findings.
The advanced world was still missing.
The best they'd seen was close to advanced.
"There's a problem here."
Takumi rubbed his chin.
Definitely a problem.
Maybe the dimensional gate only appeared recently?
And because of that, top-tier worlds hadn't had time to form yet?
Thinking of this, Takumi closed his eyes.
He started accessing the information of the detected worlds.
As he focused, various details began to flow into his mind.
Gradually, he learned how long those worlds had existed.
The world close to advanced level had only existed for a few hundred million years.
That was still relatively young.
After all, in cosmic terms, hundreds of millions of years is considered young.
Some worlds might not even finish evolving in that time.
Still, in just a few hundred million years, it had become intermediate, nearing advanced.
Takumi quickly reviewed other worlds.
He noticed they were all very young.
The oldest one was also the strongest.
"A bit ridiculous."
"These worlds are too young."
"Looks like this gate didn't always exist."
"Instead, it must've appeared here a few hundred million years ago."
"And then those worlds began forming."
Takumi kept digesting the data.
He compiled the timelines of each world.
Soon, he had an estimate of when this dimensional center had appeared.
Even though no world had recorded when the laws became active,
they had all been that way since their birth.
Even the oldest world said the same.
"Appeared 2 billion years ago."
"Then these worlds came into being afterward."
"So it couldn't have been longer than that."
Takumi finished compiling the data and was amazed.
It was incredible.
He immediately sent the findings to Wei Erwei.
Not long after, she responded.
She initiated a video call.
Once connected, Wei Erwei curiously asked:
"Did you get this from those worlds?"
She knew Takumi had the power to read all world data quickly.
Now, even she was stunned by what she saw.
My god, these worlds were formed over hundreds of millions of years?
That's amazing!
"If not?"
"Get ready."
"Let's head to the center of that circle."
Based on his current data, Takumi could already locate the center.
That spot hadn't been scanned yet.
But that didn't matter.
He was going anyway.
Wei Erwei's eyes lit up.
"Great!"
"Come here and wait for me."
"I'll pack up right now."
She ended the call.
Takumi began preparing to leave.
Seeing this, Bronya quickly spoke up:
"I'm coming too!"
She had overheard everything.
She was also interested in what Takumi said.
So she wanted to join.
Hearing Bronya, Takumi nodded.
If you want to go, then go.
