On the other side, Eriri, who had already arrived in the To Love-Ru world, did not hurry to the planet where the Reincarnators were located. Instead, she appeared at a villa on Earth, waiting there for the other group members to arrive.
Although this waiting period would result in countless planets being destroyed by the Reincarnators and innumerable lives being slaughtered, Eriri simply didn't care about such trivial matters.
As long as the people she cared about remained unharmed, even if this universe were to be destroyed by the Reincarnators, not the slightest ripple would stir within her heart.
At the same time, Eriri directly teleported Tearju, who had been reading and working, as well as Saki Tenjouin and the others, back to the villa.
Tearju and the others, who were bewildered by the sudden transfer, immediately came to their senses when they saw Eriri and the others. Joy bloomed on their faces as they greeted everyone warmly.
"Eriri-nee, how come you're all here?"
Seeing the constantly opening and closing world portals around them and the ever-increasing number of beautiful figures, Yui Kotegawa asked curiously. Nearby, Haruna Sairenji and the others also looked at Eriri with puzzled expressions.
They still had no idea that their universe was currently under invasion by the Reincarnators.
"It's nothing big, just a little incident."
Eriri casually patted the small heads of Eve and Nemesis, who had leaned in close to her, then nonchalantly explained the situation about the group mission to Yui and the others.
Arelis and the others occasionally chimed in with comments, creating a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere—there wasn't the slightest sense of impending war.
"So that's how it is!"
After learning the cause of the situation, Tearju and the others couldn't help feeling a little shocked, but they didn't seem worried at all.
After all, they knew Eriri better than anyone. There was no way they'd believe their universe could be destroyed by some mere Reincarnators.
"That's great!"
At that moment, a cheerful, excited voice sounded beside Eriri.
"Eriri-nee, can I go with you to fight those Reincarnators?"
A beautiful girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old with long red hair tied into a scorpion braid looked up at Eriri with hopeful eyes.
"Of course, Mea-chan. That's exactly why I brought you all back from school."
Eriri smiled and pinched the red-haired girl's soft cheeks. This red-haired, scorpion-braided girl was none other than the second-generation biological weapon successfully created by Tearju—Mea Kurosaki.
"Mm-hmm! I'll do my best in battle!"
Upon receiving Eriri's approval, Mea immediately raised her tiny fist with excitement, striking a spirited pose.
Seeing such a cute scene, Eriri's smile brightened even more. Then, she turned her gaze toward Tearju and the others.
"And you too, Tearju—come along to fight the Reincarnators. It'll be a good chance to polish your combat skills."
"No problem."
Naturally, Tearju and the others wouldn't refuse Eriri's command. After all, their home was being invaded—they were bound to take part in defending it. Besides, each of them now possessed tremendous strength—around Level 7, Stage 1—more than enough to stand against most Reincarnators.
"Good. You don't need to worry about your safety. I'll give you all invincible defenses and make your bodies immune to all kinds of control or sealing abilities. You can unleash your power freely."
"My only demand is this: show no mercy. Kill as many Reincarnators as you can. If you encounter enemies beyond your capability, leave them to me."
"Got it!"
...
While Eriri and the others were talking, all the chat group members had already started arriving in the To Love-Ru world, bringing along their companions. Soon, the number of people gathered in the villa exceeded five hundred.
Jibril alone had summoned over a hundred Flügel from the No Game No Life world.
At that moment, a Reincarnator who had just reached Level 7, leading a group of Level 5 and Level 6 Reincarnators, crossed the vast cosmic expanse—arriving just outside Earth's atmosphere.
Although their strength wasn't enough to allow them to survive in the vacuum of space with their physical bodies, the Reincarnators possessed special items purchased from the Main God Space using points. With these, they could withstand the cosmic void and even communicate freely within it.
Gazing at the beautiful blue planet before him, the Level 7 Reincarnator's lips curled into a cruel smile. Without hesitation, he stretched out his right hand toward Earth.
The next moment, vast energy began to gather at the center of his palm.
In less than ten seconds, a brilliant sphere of energy containing terrifying power condensed in his hand.
Without a hint of hesitation, he thrust the blazing orb toward the planet below.
The crimson sphere easily pierced through the atmosphere, streaking toward Earth at incredible speed, forming a beam of light that spanned thousands of kilometers.
The Level 7 Reincarnator did not move to leave. Instead, he crossed his arms and watched the planet calmly, waiting for the moment when his attack would obliterate Earth and reduce it to cosmic debris.
However, the expected planetary explosion never came. The energy sphere capable of destroying a planet was suddenly enveloped by an unknown force—and then vanished without a trace.
Seeing this, the previously smug Level 7 Reincarnator froze in disbelief. The nearby Level 5 and Level 6 Reincarnators, who had been waiting to watch the spectacle, also turned stiff with shock.
"What happened? The captain's attack never fails—how could it just disappear?!"
A mid-tier Level 6 Reincarnator shouted in disbelief, while another with the same level shook his head, equally horrified.
"Th-this... impossible! Could there be someone on that planet stronger than the captain?!"
At his words, the color drained from everyone's faces. A dreadful premonition surged through their hearts—even the Level 7 Reincarnator felt it.
Before they could react, a breathtakingly beautiful figure appeared silently before them.
Like a lit fuse, her appearance triggered a chain reaction. One after another, more figures—cute and petite, tall and alluring—materialized around them, encircling the group of Reincarnators.
These were none other than Luo Cuilian and the others, who had detected the Reincarnators' presence and casually intercepted the attack.
The sudden appearance of so many stunningly beautiful girls and lolis left the Reincarnators, who had just been terrified, once again dumbfounded.
After all, seeing such an overwhelming number of beauties at once was visually shocking, even for seasoned fighters.
"Delivering yourselves right to my doorstep? Then I'll gladly collect those Main God Fragments."
The peerlessly elegant Luo Cuilian gazed down arrogantly at the trapped Reincarnators, not taking them seriously in the slightest.
Before the others could even respond, she charged straight toward the Reincarnators, activating her divine authority in the process.
However, the others weren't slow to act either—two more figures joined her almost instantly, rushing at the enemies.
"Hahaha! Those fragments are mine!"
Jibril appeared beside the Reincarnators through spatial teleportation, laughing wildly as she swung her black war scythe. In an instant, several weaker Reincarnators were cut down and killed.
At the same time, Luo Cuilian's Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl Technique and Tatsumaki's psychic powers reaped more lives from the stunned Reincarnators.
The moment each Reincarnator died, the chat group absorbed the Main God Fragment within their bodies. Above Jibril and the others' heads, glowing numbers appeared, showing the count of fragments they had obtained. Only group members could see these numbers.
For Luo Cuilian and Jibril, both at Level 7, Stage 2, and Tatsumaki, who had long since reached Level 7, Stage 1, dealing with a newly advanced Level 7 Reincarnator was child's play.
Just like the Level 5 and 6 Reincarnators, the Level 7 one was slain with ease by the trio.
However, since all three of their attacks struck the Reincarnator simultaneously, none of them knew exactly whose strike had landed the killing blow.
It wasn't until the number above Jibril's head suddenly increased by one that they finally confirmed who had landed the killing blow.
The entire ambush lasted less than ten seconds. Before the other group members could even react, the battle was already over.
"Hey, hey, hey! Jibril, Tatsumaki, Cuilian-senpai—come on, that's not fair!"
Wearing her Shuchiin Academy uniform, the voluptuous Chika Fujiwara pouted unhappily at the three who had just wiped out all the Reincarnators.
"Ahaha, you can't blame me for that! You were just too slow! As they say, the early bird gets the worm—and only those who act fast get to eat!"
Jibril giggled, flashing Chika a teasing grin.
"Chika, instead of complaining, we should go find other Reincarnators. Eriri's already given us the ability to instantly teleport to their locations, after all."
Beside Chika, Kaguya Shinomiya—dressed in the same school uniform—spoke with a serious tone, her gaze fixed on the distant depths of space. In that direction, a group of Reincarnators was currently massacring a life-bearing planet.
Hearing her lady and best friend's words, Ai Hayasaka quickly chimed in:
"Kaguya-sama's right. With over a million Reincarnators, there's plenty to go around. What matters now is who can kill them faster."
"Ai, come with me."
"Understood, Kaguya-sama."
With that, both Shinomiya Kaguya and Ai Hayasaka vanished from sight, beginning their own slaughter mission.
Seeing them suddenly disappear, Chika blinked in confusion, her big blue eyes darting around as the words she wanted to say caught in her throat.
She turned back toward where Jibril and the others had been—but by then, they were already gone as well.
...
The chaos caused by the Reincarnators soon drew the attention of powerful beings native to the To Love-Ru universe—including King Gid Lucione Deviluke, who was vacationing on a distant planet.
When Gid noticed several nearby planets being ravaged by foreign invaders, he immediately led his subordinates to the nearest one. After all, as the ruler of the entire Milky Way, it was his duty to investigate any disturbances within his dominion.
With strength at early Level 7, Gid was unquestionably formidable—among the million-strong army of Reincarnators, he would be considered upper-mid tier.
Unfortunately, among the Reincarnators devastating that planet was also a Level 7, Stage 3 powerhouse.
Level 7, Stage 1 versus Level 7, Stage 3—despite Gid's superb combat instincts, it was nearly impossible to bridge the gap between two full stages.
Moreover, anyone who had risen to Level 7 within the Main God Space had experienced countless life-and-death battles. None of them were weak.
Thus, once Gid entered the planet and engaged the Level 7, Stage 3 Reincarnator, the battle quickly turned against him. Within minutes, he was on the verge of defeat—his life in grave danger.
Meanwhile, his subordinates were being overwhelmed by the enemy's lower-ranked Reincarnators, offering little resistance.
"Who are you people?! Why would you do something so senseless?!"
Having regained his humanoid form with Lala's help, Gid glared furiously at the floating Reincarnator before him.
If the invaders were fighting for territory, he could at least understand it—and treat them as legitimate opponents. But what he saw now wasn't conquest; it was pure, wanton slaughter.
The Reincarnators weren't trying to seize control of the planet—they were simply destroying it for amusement.
"Pitiful native... your only purpose is to offer your life for our gain. Beyond that, you need not know—nor do you deserve to."
The Level 7, Stage 3 Reincarnator looked at Gid with mocking eyes, savoring the pleasure of toying with his prey. He wasn't in a hurry to kill him, preferring to prolong the moment.
"Damn it!"
As he watched his soldiers die one by one, Gid's expression darkened. He was the Emperor of the Universe—yet he was being toyed with by these outsiders, utterly helpless.
But as he recalled his three daughters—and that terrifying being—Gid suddenly drew a deep breath. His face, once tense with anger, grew eerily calm.
"Hmph. You won't be smug for long. Soon, my precious daughters will bring her here... and then you'll all be finished."
