Chapter 440: Half a Month Passes, Arrival at Planet Pokémon?!
....
"Th-This is... Mama~!"
"Illya!"
Illya and Irisviel rushed into each other's arms, holding on tight.
Both mother and daughter had missed each other terribly. Seeing Illya again, Irisviel felt a wave of profound guilt—if she had died, no one could predict what would have become of Illya under the Einzberns.
Because of that, she would never let go again! In Irisviel's heart, Illya was now her top priority above all else.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Seito modified Illya's body structure as well, turning her into a normal human child with a healthy lifespan. He, Nyaruko, Sakura, and Artoria watched the heartwarming reunion quietly, refraining from interrupting them.
"Illya, would you like to live together with Mama from now on?"
"Mhm!" Illya wrapped her tiny arms around Irisviel's neck even tighter. She never wanted to be separated from her mother ever again.
A moment later, Irisviel introduced Illya to Seito and the rest of the group. Afterward, she guided Illya into the spaceship alongside Nyaruko and Sakura.
"Remember to study Eastern history thoroughly. 'Mistakes lie in the present, but benefits endure for millennia.' There are many emperors whose governance philosophy you ought to learn from," Seito said as a final piece of advice to Artoria.
The legendary ancient emperors of the Eastern lands had much to offer in terms of rule and vision. Considering their respective eras, what those historical figures achieved was truly mind-boggling.
"I understand," Artoria nodded solemnly.
With that, they bade their farewells, and Seito stepped onto the vessel. Under Artoria's quiet gaze, the spaceship ascended into the clouds, vanishing from view in a flash.
Deep Space... Inside the Spaceship.
Sakura was overjoyed because she finally had a playmate her own age—Illya.
Likewise, Illya was equally thrilled to meet another girl who looked just like her. As the two young girls giggled and played in the lounge, Irisviel watched over them with a warm, content smile.
Nyaruko set the spaceship to autopilot before happily resuming her Kamen Rider binge, while Seito opened the executive chat channel to touch base with his faction members.
[Executive Private Chat]
[Seito: So you're saying the Dragon God-King of the Eastern Sector in the God-King Star Sector willingly surrendered his Main God Authority to Sora?]
Seito reviewed the flurry of updates. A lot of major shifts had occurred in the God-King Star Sector during his absence. Among the three major sectors—East, South, and North—holding Main God Authorities, only the Dragon God-King of the East had proactively handed over his authority.
Indeed! That Dragon God-King was the very boss of the Vermilion Dragon back in the lower Divine Domains. Recognizing that Seito was an unstoppable force, he cleverly surrendered his authority to secure his own survival.
The God-Kings ruling the Southern and Northern sectors, however, had chosen a different path. Unwilling to yield their power, they attempted to flee deep space.
Unfortunately for them, the God-Kings of the Central and Western sectors intercepted them. A fierce clash erupted, leaving both fleeing God-Kings utterly annihilated!
Their reclaimed Authorities were now safely held by Maple.
"To think so much went down in the God-King Star Sector," Seito mused with a soft sigh.
Right on cue, Maple sent a message.
[Maple: Seito-kun, are you planning to return anytime soon?]
[Seito: Not just yet, I'll head back after a while.]
Although tracking down Planet Pokémon took some effort, Seito wasn't in a hurry. He could use his own spatial sensing skills to locate the planet while his clones combed space as well. Finding it was only a matter of time.
[Maple: Got it!]
[Seito: @Chairwoman Minami. Principal, go ahead and restore my student status first.]
[Chairwoman Minami: You don't want to be a teacher anymore?]
[Seito: Yeah, I'd rather fully experience high school life for a bit.]
Having only completed half a year of high school, Seito wanted to make the most of his remaining time as a student.
Experiencing it later down the line just wouldn't carry the same flavor.
[Chairwoman Minami: No problem at all.]
After chatting with the group for a bit longer, Seito closed out the chat panel.
Half a month passed in a flash.
Throughout the past two weeks, Seito and his group drifted casually through the cosmos, coming across numerous inhabited worlds along their route.
Ancient historical worlds, high-tech worlds, supernatural worlds, apocalyptic wasteland worlds—the sheer variety of planets left them marveling at the scope of the omniverse.
Beyond that, Seito had accumulated a substantial amount of Creation Energy through his clones!
[Name: Seito]
[Divine Name: Space-Time Main God]
[Level: Mid-Stage Main God Realm]
[Divine Core: Space-Time Divine Core]
[Talent: Space-Time Mastery]
[Creation Energy Required for Upgrade: 2628/10000]
[Skills: Speed Space-Time (Exclusive), Space-Time Movement (Exclusive), Space-Time Void Step (Exclusive), Space-Time Dragon's Roar (Exclusive), Space-Time Dragon's Breath (Exclusive), Dimensional Slash (Exclusive), Kamui Space (Exclusive), Space-Time Storm (Exclusive), Gale Protection (Exclusive), Space-Time Sense (Exclusive), Space-Time Lock (Exclusive), Mirror Space-Time (Exclusive), Time Stop (Exclusive), Time Rewind (Exclusive), Temporal Decay (Exclusive), Life Heal.]
[Weapon: Space-Time Cube (Origin Treasure)]
Factoring in the energy harvested by his Main God clones, his total Creation Energy had breached the 2,600 mark! His progression speed was remarkably solid. At this rate, breaking through to the Late-Stage Main God Realm within another month or two was well within reach.
"Seito! I finally located Planet Pokémon!" Nyaruko suddenly called out in excitement.
"Oh? You found it?" Seito turned his head over, as did everyone else in the lounge. After floating through space for half a month, they had finally reached their target destination.
It was fortunate that both Seito and Nyaruko were Main Gods; otherwise, locating a hidden world like Planet Pokémon within two weeks would have been nearly impossible.
"Yep!" Nyaruko nodded eagerly, her hair-spike twitching. "Setting course right now!"
Taking manual control of the helm, she guided the vessel toward the target coordinates. Expectant smiles lit up everyone's faces.
Planet Pokémon, Kanto Region, Viridian Forest.
A sleek spaceship slowly descended into a lush glade, instantly catching the attention of numerous curiously shaped creatures lurking in the brush. The wild creatures watched the vessel with wide, inquisitive eyes, though none dared to venture too close.
Zip~! Buzz~!
The main hatch door swung open smoothly.
"We're finally here! Ah, the air here smells so fresh~!"
