Couronne: "Yikes! What was that just now?"
Marcille: "Magic? But… that's way too over the top, isn't it?"
Yotsuya Miko: "Eh, is it really that surprising?"
Marcille: "Huh?"
Marcille: "They nearly brought on the end of the world, and you say it's not surprising?!"
Marcille showed a "are you messing with me?" expression.
From what she knew, even the strongest mage in her own world couldn't possibly cast a spell on the scale of bringing about doomsday.
Erica: "Hmph, that's just a fraction of the King's power."
Shiba Miyuki: "I don't want to discourage the newcomers, but it really is just like that."
Kato Megumi: "We all would be shocked at first too, but after seeing Rei Ao's incredible power so many times, everyone's become pretty calm about it."
Marcille: "…"
Frieren: "From the sounds of it, that thing seemed to be the god or godlike being of that world."
Tohru: "Probably so, but it was kinda weak, got insta-killed by Rei Ao."
Couronne: "Wait, god? Are you talking about a 'Old Deus'?"
Tsui: "Be careful—different worlds have different sorts of gods, not all are referred to as 'Old Deus.'"
Couronne: "Ah, sorry, I just got excited and forgot."
Couronne: "I meant if that being capable of summoning disasters is very powerful, doesn't that mean Rei Ao, the group leader, is… even stronger?"
Yukinoshita Yukino: "It's self-explanatory. He got rid of that one in an instant."
Couronne: "I-I see…"
She clenched her fists, eyes shining with a glimmer of hope.
Hayasaka Ai: "So, everyone, are we still continuing our discussion on what Rei Ao asked us?"
Mikoto: "Yes, about how to bring peace to Shinoa's world. Does anyone have ideas?"
Bibi Dong: "The simplest way is to take over the world, eliminate any opposition, and build new rules."
Marcille: "Ah? Isn't that too extreme?"
Yukinoshita Yukino: "I also think that's unwise."
Busujima Saeko: "But humans and vampires are clashing on a racial level, aren't they? Can real peace be achieved without drastic measures?"
Kasuga Hijiri: "Vampires need human blood to survive. It does seem difficult."
Frieren: "Similar to humans vs. a demon race, or maybe worse, since demons might not necessarily need to eat humans, they just prefer it."
For a while, the group chatted more intensely about this matter.
Meanwhile, outside the chat.
"What… happened?"
Whether it was Jujo Mito and the rest or Krul, none of them had any idea what the current situation was.
The sudden "natural disasters," the strange voice, Rei Ao's abrupt flight into the sky… it was all like watching a sci-fi film—beyond shocking and totally baffling.
But the changes weren't over.
After that so-called living being that caused the disasters was destroyed, Rei Ao's body began radiating brilliant light.
Countless mysterious runes emerged from within him, swirling around him in a vortex. These runes expanded to fill the entire sky, and then seeped into the ground.
He was absorbing the world's essence.
In the eyes of those below, Rei Ao simply hovered there in place.
"A good chance!"
Yukimi Shigure's immediate thought was to escape.
But Shinoa suddenly spoke up:
"I'd advise against running."
"…"
Sangu Mitsuba finally lost patience and grabbed Shinoa by the collar.
"Hmph, even if we run, we'll drag you, this human traitor, back for interrogation!"
"Mitsuba, stop it!"
This action was greeted not with exasperation from Shinoa, but instead, Sangu Aoi's reproachful shout.
"Why? She's a traitor!"
Mitsuba complained angrily, but Aoi simply ignored her feelings, slapping her hand away.
Then, Aoi stared intently at Shinoa, asking:
"Shinoa, you seem to know a lot about what's happening here, don't you?"
"Of course."
Shinoa gave a slight nod.
"I invited Rei Ao here to bring peace to this world."
"Peace? You gotta be kidding."
None of them were convinced at all.
"What's wrong with me becoming the new god of this world and bringing peace?"
The glow gradually subsided, and Rei Ao's figure became visible again. On the surface he looked no different, yet everyone sensed something fundamentally changed about him.
He stood there, as though fused with the entire world.
"Now," Rei Ao spoke, voice brimming with undeniable authority. "Welcome to my world."
Krul was the first to kneel, bowing her noble head.
"My Lord God."
Her voice held no sign of unwillingness, instead a strange sense of relief. If anyone could believe he had become God, it was the vampire queen Krul, able to sense how inseparable Rei Ao's presence was from the world.
Everyone else stood stiffly, not sure what to do.
Rei Ao's gaze swept past them, finally landing on Yukimi Shigure.
"I know you all have many questions."
He smiled. "Now is the time to give you some answers."
[Ding! You have chosen to add to the chat group's sub-group]
[Sangu Aoi, Sangu Mitsuba, Jujo Mito, Yukimi Shigure, Hanayori Sayuri, Inoue Rika, Endo Yayoi, Krul Tepes!]
"!!!"
In the instant they were added to the chat group, everyone reacted slightly differently.
"What is… this thing?"
Jujo Mito, wary to the hilt, almost drew her blade.
Krul frowned. The strange glowing panel in front of her was baffling, even for a high-level vampire.
But soon, knowledge of the chat group poured into their minds.
"Hsss…!"
Yukimi Shigure gasped in shock. The others had essentially the same reaction—shock, astonishment, suspicion… altogether disbelief.
This moment, they realized a new gateway had opened to them—a gateway to another world!
