Chapter 266: Transaction with Tokisaki Kurumi! Kabbalah Life Tree!
Tengu City was supposed to be the city where Itsuka Shido exists. Since Tokisaki Kurumi said he doesn't exist, then he truly doesn't. The difference between anime and the real world appeared again.
But what Tokisaki Kurumi said next made Ren-kun pause.
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Although there's a difference, I found someone whose name differs by only one character."
Ren-kun: "Who?"
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Goka Shiori."
"Goka Shiori?" This name made Ren-kun's eyelids twitch wildly, and his hand movements slowed by a beat. Megumi's cheeks were slightly red, and her small mouth had faint, hurried breaths. Yui, on the other hand, trembled from time to time, too embarrassed to look up. Ren-kun's change was noticed by both of them. One tilted her head to look at him, the other, with teary but bewildered eyes, looked up.
Ren-kun remembered that now wasn't the time to be in a daze. He should first let them reach the 'cloud'. He began to truly exert himself! Feeling the strong impact, both of them endured it while their small hands also appropriately sped up. Because the spacefaring Swarm was expanding, they understood the principle that one cannot only take without giving. Ren was a man who could multitask.
Ren: "Is it a woman?"
Tokisaki Kurumi: "That's right."
Ren was stunned. Shido Itsuka became Goka Shiori. It was originally just a classic scene. Unexpectedly, it was cited by various fanfictions. Many fan-made Date A Live stories adopted the setting of Goka Shiori. And now, in the real world, the fanfiction setting had become reality. This was truly fascinating.
Saeko Busujima: "Ren, do you know this person? You look very shocked."
Seitenshi: "Could it be an enemy?"
Ren: "No, not at all. I'm just shocked by this person's gender."
Mikasa: "Shocked by a woman? Are women scary?"
Ren: "Uh, that depends on the situation. Someone like Mikasa isn't scary; I think she's quite good."
Mikasa: "..."
Ren: "Anyway, Tokisaki Kurumi, a heads-up for you: this person has the ability to seal Elf powers."
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Seal Elf powers?! Can she seal Origin Spirit powers?" Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes widened, and she held her breath, anticipating the answer. If she could seal the Origin Spirit's power, her plan would finally succeed! However, Ren's answer disappointed her.
Ren: "You're thinking too much."
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Heh heh, I was indeed too fanciful."
Ren: "I know you want to kill the Origin Spirit. How about a trade?"
Tokisaki Kurumi: "What trade?"
Ren: "I'm quite interested in the power of the Kabbalah Life Tree and the reverse Kabbalah Life Tree. Help me gather all the Elves, and I can help you deal with the Origin Spirit."
Tokisaki Kurumi: "Kabbalah Life Tree? Although I don't quite understand, can you really deal with the Origin Spirit?"
Ren: "Well, actually, I just destroyed a galaxy. I didn't have time to live-stream, but I do have a few screenshots."
Ren: "[Image], [Image]."
Ren: "By the way, this galaxy has hundreds of billions of stars, and it took about a minute to destroy. This might give you some idea of my power."
Tokisaki Kurumi: "..."
Tokisaki Kurumi opened the images. The first one showed a deep nebula. The second one showed a chaotic galaxy. It looked like a nebula that had been squeezed and deformed by some great force. And within the nebula were countless pure black holes. All of them were black holes! Just from the changes in the nebula, one could guess what this galaxy had gone through and see that it was heading towards destruction.
Coupled with Ren's understated words, Tokisaki Kurumi fell silent. It wasn't just her who was silent, but the main base in the group chat at that moment.
Momonga: "Gulp! B-Big... Big Big Big Boss! This is too outrageous!"
Momonga's words were like a catfish thrown into a barrel of sardines, stirring up commotion among them.
Silver Wolf: "You, you're truly astonishing. Your power has already surpassed the Emanators of Destruction!"
March 7th: "This girl... Uh, I asked Himeko what it means to destroy a galaxy in one minute. Himeko said: 'Below a Stellar God, no one can defeat him.'"
Kiana: "Himeko? I also have an Aunt Himeko here. I'll go ask her too!"
Big Fat Sheep: "What is this?"
Kiana: "Aunt Himeko said, no Herrscher can do that."
Nami: "Although I've never seen a galaxy, I know the world under my feet is very big. To destroy hundreds of billions, or even trillions, of worlds like the one under my feet, Ren, you're truly too strong!"
Vivi: "Ugh, hearing Nami say it like that, I sort of understand the concept. In short, it's indescribably powerful."
Rory Takakura: "I feel the same way; words cannot describe it."
Tushan Honghong: "Hong Hong thinks so too."
Reinhardt: "Unbelievable. Facing an enemy with such power must be despair-inducing."
Mikoto Suoh: "They would definitely lose the will to fight."
Ren: "Well, as for enemies, those spacefaring Swarm, I didn't pay much attention to them anyway. They'll all die in the galactic explosion."
Tendou Kisara: "Everything you casually say can make one gasp in admiration. I really don't know who could be your opponent."
Mumei: "Big Brother will definitely become the strongest."
Ren: "One of my goals is indeed to be the strongest. I'm still far from enough right now."
Emilia: "Oh, Ren-kun, you can do it!"
Emilia's encouragement made Ren not know whether to laugh or cry. This girl was truly cute, and Ren still replied to her.
Ren: "Mm, you should also work hard on your Royal Selection. I'm waiting to see your coronation as queen."
Emilia: "Hehe, I will!"
Esdeath: "Ren, I suddenly realized that surpassing you seems endlessly far away. What do you think I should do?"
Ren: "At least you won't want to commit suicide now, right?"
Esdeath: "Of course. Without the influence of that strange energy, I wouldn't commit suicide. Escaping is shameful."
Ren: "I'm glad you can say that. Then you have no other choice but to try hard to surpass me, or defeat me in other aspects." Ren said something only Esdeath could understand.
Esdeath: "I'll be waiting."
Furina: "Um... should I also praise him with flowery language?"
Aqua: "Praise what, praise what, idiot Ren!"
Exu: "Oh my, can Aqua do something like that?"
Aqua: "Of, of course! I am Aqua, the Goddess of Water!"
Exu: "Eek~ You sound so unconfident."
Ch'en: "This land... never mind. I just wanted to express my shock, but now I seem to have nothing to say. Only a big fist is the hard truth." This land cannot adapt to this situation, so it can only be devoured alive by others.
