Several hours passed in Galacta's apartment.
The sunlight streaming through the window shifted from bright day to a warm twilight.
Inside the bedroom, Galacta was now deeply sensing the incredible power within her.
"I... I've really evolved into a Lifebringer?!"
Galacta was already clad in her armor. Similar to her father's, it was golden, but with differences—interwoven with strands of purple and silver, making it even more beautiful.
"Of course. After all, you had quite the appetite earlier, absorbing so much of my energy. How could you not evolve?"
Yuki said with a light chuckle.
Infusing Galacta with that immense energy, which included Origin Power, had brought her to a state of unprecedented satiation. Her power level had soared to its peak—Infinite Hyperversal. This was only part of it; fully absorbing it could push her further, potentially to Omniversal or even beyond.
As for "Transcendent of All," since Galacta now possessed Origin Power, she qualified for that ascent as well—it would just require more... nurturing.
As for the Cosmic Tapeworm inside her, Yuki had already erased it.
Additionally, Galacta's Lifebringer state differed from her father's. There were no taboos, so destroying life wouldn't strip her of it.
Hearing Yuki's words, a rosy blush spread across Galacta's cheeks.
She dismissed her armor and slowly sat beside Yuki, curling up in his embrace.
"Are you leaving soon?" she asked, reluctance in her voice.
"Mhm. I still have matters to attend to in my own world," Yuki nodded.
"What's wrong? Already missing me?" he teased. "If you really miss me, you can visit Seitenshi and the others. I'm often there."
"I know," Galacta nodded.
During their deep exchange, she had learned about Yuki's relationships with Seitenshi, Saeko, and the others. It didn't bother her much. For a being like Yuki, having more companions was natural. And Yuki had made it clear—he wasn't interested in power or fame. That part had surprised Galacta a little.
"Oh, right. Here are the points. I don't really need them anyway."
Galacta remembered the completed chat group mission. But as she opened the group to transfer the points to Yuki, a new message caught her eye.
[Group Announcement: Congratulations to 'Nearly Omnipotent' (Yuki) for obtaining the title of Group Owner.]
Huaizhu: "Group Owner? What does that mean?"
Raiden: "Huh? How did a 'Group Owner' appear all of a sudden? And it went to Yuki-kun?"
Seitenshi: "Wow! Group Owner! How did that happen?"
Marika: "What is a Group Owner?"
Saeko: "A Group Owner is likely the administrator of the chat group, the one in charge..."
Saeko proceeded to explain to those unfamiliar with the concept.
After transferring the points, Galacta looked at Yuki curiously. "Why did a Group Owner appear suddenly? Is it because you reached that new level, and the chat group unlocked the Group Owner function and gave it to you?"
Yuki shrugged. "Basically, yes."
Though his answer was simple, the real reason went deeper. Upon reaching "Transcendent of All," Yuki had gained insight into the nature of his Sign-in System and the Chat Group System.
Originally, these two systems were one whole. In other words, Yuki's Sign-in System and the Chat Group were, in fact, a single system.
But after the destruction of the Blue Planet's world, to maintain the stability of the entire multiverse, the system was forced to split. One half remained with Yuki, while the other half transformed into the Chat Group System.
The Chat Group System's role within the multiverse was to bind the Origin Power, delaying the collapse of all worlds. Without the chat group, even with the protection of Origin Power, the multiverse's demise would have accelerated dramatically.
Now that Yuki had ascended to "Transcendent of All," he could see through the system's true nature. It was, in essence, a function of the Origin Power.
Whether it was the items in the chat group shop or the rewards from his Sign-in System, they all originated from the Origin Power.
The moment Yuki acquired the Origin Power, a message echoed in his mind: the Sign-in System and the Chat Group System were merging...
Now that the merger was complete, Yuki naturally became the Group Owner. Because this chat group was originally part of his Sign-in System. As its master, Yuki enjoyed the highest privileges.
"So, what new functions do you have now?" Galacta asked, curious about the Group Owner permissions.
Yuki nodded and opened the chat group interface. After a quick look, he found the permissions were similar to those of the Discord servers he used back on the Earth—features like muting, name changes, and other common administrative tools.
The Group Owner had many special privileges, though most seemed unnecessary to Yuki. For example, the ability to freely travel to other members' worlds was redundant for him. Now that he had cleared all the Origin Power from the multiverse, even beings below the "Transcendent Omniversal" level could easily travel between worlds—provided they had the capability, of course.
The only thing that caught Yuki's attention was that with the two systems merged, points and "Intimacy Points" could now be freely converted at a 1:1 ratio. That was a pleasant surprise.
But it was a good thing. Having everything integrated made it much less messy.
Even if Yuki didn't use them, watching that string of numbers constantly rise was entertaining in itself.
"So? What functions are there?" Galacta urged, seeing Yuki lost in thought.
"Don't rush. I'll explain them one by one."
Yuki smiled, patted Galacta's head, and began explaining.
After hearing about the various permissions, Galacta was somewhat impressed by the benefits of being Group Owner. Privileges like discounts in the shop were particularly appealing to her.
Yuki then mentioned that if she wanted to buy something, she could give him the points, and he'd purchase it for her, saving a significant amount.
Of course, there was an even more point-efficient method: having Yuki create it himself. Now that Yuki could freely conjure anything from any work across the multiverse—like the "I Am Stronger" ability from A Wild Last Boss Appeared!—he could simply modify the settings of those close to him, granting them such abilities without any point cost.
Galacta nodded, then remembered she still had ten lottery draws left.
She decided to have Yuki stay a little longer to accompany her while she drew them, hoping to share in his luck.
Hearing this, Yuki smiled and agreed to stay a bit longer.
