Hearing that idea, the other Su Mos lit up — before quickly shaking their heads. "The power of the Star Grail," the Su Mo from the Index world explained, "is essentially just sovereignty over that specific world."
"The sovereignty of Disboard wouldn't apply to any other world. And more importantly, the Star Grail is a tool — it's not an inherent power of ours." He likened it to a game. Each Su Mo was playing their own separate game. Even if one of them obtained admin rights in their own game and shared it, the others couldn't use that same access to modify their respective games. Not to mention, since the authority came from a tool and not from within, it couldn't be passed on between them. So, the power of the Star Grail could not be shared.
"If we're hoping to use the Star Grail to become invincible across the multiverse, that's not happening," added the Su Mo from the Fairy Tail world. "But if we do get the Grail, becoming stronger becomes a lot easier." Just like how the Su Mo from the Ultraman Tiga world observed and analyzed the sun up close to create his Cosmic Corona form using the White Horse's essence — possessing the Star Grail would grant access to an entire world's worth of data.
Want to observe the sun? You could.
Want to analyze a black hole? No problem.
Even ignoring the mystic side of things, just having access to this level of raw knowledge would be enough to push esper abilities to their utmost limit.
"Not to mention, this world also has all sorts of deities," the Fairy Tail Su Mo continued. "If we use the Grail to seize their divine concepts — not only can we refine our own powers, but we could integrate those concepts into ourselves."
"At that point, given time, becoming the true One God might actually be possible." With an entire world's resources at his disposal, it was not impossible to eventually reach omnipotence. So, while the Star Grail wouldn't make them instantly invincible, it would put them close enough.
The Su Mo from the Pokemon world concluded, "That's the nature of the Grail's absolute dominion." Besides, by the lore of that world, even the world itself was said to be formed from a spillover of the Grail's power. That meant the Grail likely contained a power that surpassed the entire world — and its potential was unquestionable. Hearing all this, the Su Mo from No Game No Life nodded. "That's already more than enough."
"Whether for ourselves or for the survival of humanity, the Grail is non-negotiable. It must be secured."
"And to do that… we must confront Artosh head-on."
"Though, before that, I'll need to test the golden sword's effect on divine essence. I want to make sure it works before treating it as my trump card." Even with a full understanding of the Grail's strength, he didn't let it cloud his judgment. Right now, he was already immensely powerful. Aside from Artosh, there weren't many in the world who could oppose him. But that was all the more reason to proceed with caution. Su Mo wasn't about to let a careless mistake undo everything at the final hour.
"You're right — it's better to play it safe for now," the Fairy Tail Su Mo agreed.
"Besides, our worlds still have plenty of power sources we've yet to fully tap."
"Whether it's Light of the Right, the authority of the Moon God, or the completion of the Third Magic — these are all significant powers."
"Time is on our side. So, there's no need to rush into a confrontation with Artosh." Given how important the Star Grail was, caution was fully warranted. Once everything was in place, it would be the right moment to strike. And by then, the number of Su Mos in the Mist Realm would only grow — and their collective power would be even more terrifying.
"Understood," the Su Mo from No Game No Life nodded firmly. As someone who had led humanity through countless hardships and migrations, he wasn't the reckless type. If he could win the Grail safely, why take unnecessary risks? More than a warrior or a demon lord, this Su Mo saw himself as a leader — and he prioritized that identity above all. Now that they'd agreed on this strategy, the Su Mo from the Tiga world spoke again.
"The matter of the Star Grail will have to wait until we're ready."
"But your world has more to offer than just the Grail, right?"
"Before facing Artosh, you might want to gather other powers."
Rather than focusing on the currently unreachable Grail, the Tiga Su Mo was more interested in the other strengths within the No Game No Life world. Whether it was the innate abilities of the Dragonia species, the spellcraft of the Elves, or the analytical precision of the Ex-Machina — all were incredibly valuable powers.
"Other powers, huh?" The Su Mo from No Game No Life wasn't surprised by the suggestion.
"I was planning to do that anyway. Do you have any particular powers you're interested in?" The various races created by the gods, after thousands of years of war, had evolved to a point where their civilizations now shone with brilliance. Some had even developed powers strong enough to rival gods. While those powers still weren't enough to take down Artosh directly, they were certainly formidable and worth collecting.
Upon hearing the question, the Su Mo from the Fairy Tail world thought for a moment before speaking up. "I'm very interested in the power of the Dragonia. If the opportunity arises, help me obtain it."
The Dragonia from the world of No Game No Life were very different in nature compared to the dragons from other worlds. Their lifeform itself was categorized as a trans-dimensional race that exist in multi-universes. In terms of immortality, as long as their weakness wasn't discovered, they were practically on par with his own Third Magic. But more than their unique lifeform, the Dragonia wielded a power known as [Ruler's Edict].
"Though it sounds similar to spirit language, ordinary spirit words don't have power on this scale," the Fairy Tail Su Mo explained seriously.
When invoking divine powers, he often needed to chant incantations. After all, both God Slayers and Heretic Gods could amplify their authorities through incantations. Still, those incantations held mostly ceremonial significance. Words had power, yes, but generally only when paired with authority. Ruler's Edict, however, was fundamentally different. It was said to be a remnant of the language of creation itself — the original tongue of the world, often referred to as the "Language of Omnipotence" or "Language of Genesis." It was a kingly language capable of commanding all things unconditionally. It didn't need magic circles, spirits, or even mana. Just speaking was enough to release its power.
If the myth of the Creator from the Ten Commandments was real, then Dragon Tongue was akin to the divine declaration of God — a reality that must come true. Compared to conventional incantations, the difference was astronomical.
Hearing this, the Su Mo from the No Game No Life world looked puzzled. "Sure, Ruler's Edict is powerful, but it's not exactly a broken ability, is it?"
Indeed, while it was a remnant of creation's power, that also meant Dragon Tongue no longer held the full power of creation. It was still capable of god-tier destruction or offense, but it had a ceiling. No matter how powerful a force is, it has limits. That's why the Dragonia's real trump card wasn't Ruler's Edict, but their suicidal ability [Collapse Roar]. In the original work, Ruler's Edict was roughly equivalent to a particularly potent divine authority — immensely powerful and easy to use, yes, but not something to be revered above all else. So, he couldn't quite understand why his counterpart was so focused on it.
The Fairy Tail Su Mo simply smiled mysteriously. "That's because you're still too young."
"If all you use Dragon Tongue for is issuing commands or attacking, then sure, its ceiling is clear. But what if we used it differently?"
"For example, instead of using regular incantations to activate divine powers, what if we used Dragon Tongue — a primordial, creation-level language — to do it?"
"How much stronger do you think our divine powers would become then?"
Language, after all, is omnipotent. But it's precisely because of its universality that it needs to be carefully constructed into structured incantations to unleash its full strength. The Fairy Tail Su Mo valued Dragon Tongue for its inherent potential. If every casual word was a binding command, wouldn't it be possible to create incantations far more potent than usual? By integrating Dragon Tongue into spellcasting, one could amplify already powerful incantations to entirely new levels.
Hearing that, the No Game No Life Su Mo finally understood. "You're not using the language directly, but treating it as a tool to enhance divine power..."
That sounded incredibly promising. As expected of himself. "If that works, then even the Golden Sword might receive a massive power boost." Other authorities could benefit from this enhanced language to some degree, but the Golden Sword was a unique case. It was literally forged from language and incantation. If the core component — the language itself — underwent a qualitative change, the sword's overall power would skyrocket. The stronger this trump card became, the more confident he could be in facing Artosh. With that realization, Su Mo from the No Game No Life world immediately prioritized acquiring Dragon Tongue.
