Takumi looked at Gracie.
Then he explained with a smile:
"Fu Hua cannot become a Herrscher, but a Herrscher can become Fu Hua."
"So, Gracie, don't be surprised."
"It should be fine."
Gracie frowned and said nothing more.
Although she didn't fully understand the specifics, since Takumi said so, it should be fine.
"Kiana became the Herrscher of the Sky, and then you said Mei would become the Herrscher of Thunder."
"And Bronya?"
"What kind of Herrscher did she become? And what about Fu Hua?"
Himeko looked at Takumi.
Seele beside her was also puzzled.
Sister Bronya.
She was curious too.
When Seele was sent to Tivat, Bronya had not become a Herrscher yet.
Facing their curious gazes, Takumi didn't hide anything.
Instead, he explained.
"The Herrscher of Reason."
"Some guy gave Bronya his core."
"It's just that she kept crashing because she never stopped racing—her 'driver's license' got revoked."
Always unlucky.
Even as the Herrscher of Reason, Bronya was constantly running into setbacks.
This lawyer life was not easy.
Himeko looked confused.
"Good guy, really good guy…"
Could she call herself the teacher of multiple Herrschers now?
Wow.
Just thinking about it felt incredible.
"All right, all right."
"Well, since you're all here…"
"Let's eat first."
"As for the things Su sent over, wait for me to sort them. If there's anything you want to know, I'll let you know."
He really didn't know what exactly Su had sent.
Was it pure knowledge and technology, or everything together?
Either way, Takumi was curious.
Himeko nodded.
No problem there.
If information about Kiana and the others existed, that would be best.
After eating at Takumi's place, Himeko and the others left.
After they left, Takumi washed up and took out the items Su had sent.
Ningguang and the others watched from the side.
Looking at the strange machines in front of them, their eyes were full of curiosity.
"What is this?"
"A computer?"
The devices looked similar to the computers Takumi had built here, but not exactly the same.
So Ningguang wasn't sure.
Hearing her question, Takumi smiled.
He immediately explained:
"This should be a hard drive."
"And it can store a huge amount of data."
With that, Takumi began extracting the data.
He had already learned about these things in the Ark.
So he knew what they were, and how to use them.
Powered by the Herrscher of Reason, Takumi directly created a reading device on the spot.
Then he began slowly reading the information inside.
As Takumi entered work mode, he became completely silent.
Seeing this, Ningguang and Keqing exchanged glances.
They didn't disturb him and instead went to handle their own tasks.
Su had indeed sent a tremendous amount of knowledge.
In addition to information from pre-civilization, there were records from the current civilization as well.
And, to Takumi's surprise…
There even seemed to be gossip and everyday internet chatter mixed in.
In other words, Su had copied the entire online database of their world.
Tsk.
This guy…
Muttering to himself, Takumi quickly organized the information.
Kiana, Bronya, Mei—information on all of them could be found.
Su had completely packaged the entire network archive of his world.
Nice guy. Truly a nice guy.
The battle between Kiana and Mei on the rooftop was also included.
Scenes of Mei becoming a Herrscher and fighting Kiana.
Takumi skipped those parts for now.
Instead, he continued absorbing the knowledge.
At the same time, he commanded:
"Nuwa, start copying this knowledge as well."
"Give Abedo and Abysshao some scientific information for their research."
"Encrypt the rest."
Nuwa responded immediately.
[Beginning execution]
She didn't hesitate and started processing the data.
Takumi continued copying the materials.
Tonight, he would likely need to work overtime.
So he told Ningguang and the others to sleep first.
There was no need to wait for him.
He would be absorbing knowledge all night.
Neither Ningguang nor Keqing objected.
As Takumi absorbed more knowledge, his strength continued to rise.
A new power awakened inside him—one that surprised him.
The Herrscher of Flames authority.
He could control molecular motion and unleash extreme destructive force.
The awakening of this ability startled Takumi.
He didn't even need to touch Murata's Gnosis?
He had planned to go look for Murata.
But now it seemed unnecessary.
It awakened by itself.
Not bad at all.
Along with it, the Herrscher of Restraint ability also manifested.
This manifested as Takumi being able to create a barrier covering the entire continent of Tivat.
Anyone inside the barrier would have their abilities restrained according to his will.
Amazing.
Takumi, already nearly invincible in Tivat, had become even stronger.
He grew more excited.
More and more knowledge flowed into him.
His power climbed endlessly.
Naturally, the moment Takumi grew stronger, Ei next door sensed it.
Rex Lapis and the other gods sensed it too.
Watching how fast Takumi grew, almost like cheating, the gods were stunned.
No—gods don't fear ghosts.
They looked at him like they were staring at the father of Celestia.
With this round, Takumi had strengthened himself again.
Takumi himself didn't know what kind of authority might awaken next.
Herrscher of Water?
Herrscher of Metal?
Anything was possible.
Takumi was becoming terrifying.
At this rate, if he went to the world of the Three Bunnies now, he might already rival the End of the 55th Era.
No, maybe not yet…
He would wait until he had ultimate strength.
Although he didn't know his own limit, Takumi felt he could still grow.
After working through the entire night, Takumi finally absorbed everything.
Looking at the machines in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.
