Ren Isana suddenly felt Riku's gaze and his head was filled with question marks. What was with that look? A look reserved for a lolicon? He wasn't a lolicon!!
"Is that Flügel really okay?" Riku squinted his eyes and asked with a hint of doubt. In his heart, the Flügel were incredibly brutal existences; even if she had become small, she should still be extremely dangerous.
"No problem. Her Magic Power is currently exhausted. If she wants to recover, she won't be able to do it for several months. Right now, she can't even beat a kitten," Ren Isana waved his hand and explained casually before turning his gaze to Schwi.
"Schwi, I hope you can share the Ex-Machina's magic database with me!" Ren Isana directly voiced his request to Schwi.
The Ex-Machina were the observers of this world, and they knew many spells. They had likely mastered the magic of various races through copying long ago.
In the future, their database would contain 27,451 types of armaments, and the ultimate moves they had copied from other races were countless.
The Elves' [Shinkūsetsu・Forest Vacuum] and [Kūkuu Dai-Zero Kago・Void 0th Protection], the Dragonia's [Hōshō・Crumbling Roar] and [Enryūshō・End Dragon Roar], the Flügel's [Heaven's Strike] and [Spatial Transfer] — in the future, they even copied the God of War's [God's Strike] and other techniques.
At this stage, there might not be as many as in the future, and even the Star Breaker might not be completed yet, but the database was definitely not small. It was precisely because of this that he spoke up, wanting to learn from the Ex-Machina first.
Hearing Ren Isana's request, Riku turned his gaze toward Schwi. This time, he didn't intervene. Whether the Ex-Machina were willing to open up was their business; he wouldn't help the Ex-Machina make that decision.
Hearing this, Schwi didn't speak immediately. Instead, she reported the matter. The connection to the cluster commander quickly resulted in a decision: they agreed to open the database.
"Received. The Ex-Machina can open the data to you. We can give you the magic you need!" Schwi looked up and spoke slowly.
Ren Isana nodded upon seeing this and then said with a smile, "How about a data cable? Then you can transmit your data to me?"
These words stunned both Schwi and Riku. Transmit the data directly to Ren Isana? Especially Schwi, she kept scanning Ren Isana and then asked with some confusion, "Can you receive data transmissions?"
This was truly too strange. Ren Isana was clearly a human; could he really do this? She had some doubts, but since the other party said so, there must be a reason, right?
Schwi didn't say anything. A data cable suddenly emerged from her body and stretched out in front of Ren Isana. Ren Isana grabbed it and activated the talent he had obtained from Asagi Aiba.
As a flash of electric light passed through Ren Isana's hand, data flashed in Schwi's eyes. Bluetooth connected... After finding it was indeed feasible, Schwi resolutely began to transmit her data to Ren Isana.
Because the current Schwi had found a heart, all the data of the Ex-Machina was open to her. She began to transmit various magic data to Ren Isana as if it cost nothing.
In addition, information on many other races was also transmitted by Schwi at this moment. Once she confirmed that Ren Isana could receive the information, Schwi was no longer polite and directly packaged the entire Ex-Machina database to transmit to Ren Isana.
At this time, Ren Isana also activated his talent frantically, beginning to absorb the massive amount of information sent by Schwi. In this moment, Ren Isana's aura began to strengthen continuously, rising from his original Tier 7.
One must know that the information Schwi transmitted to him contained information on all races in this world, and Ren Isana's talent was currently converting all this information into his own combat power.
In the blink of an eye, Ren Isana's strength had broken through to Tier 8 and was still continuously rising. As Ren Isana broke through to Tier 8, the effect of Hestia-sama's divine blood in his body completely vanished.
However, Ren Isana didn't care about this. Instead, he continued to accept the data transmitted by Schwi. Schwi felt it when Ren Isana broke through. Seeing that Ren Isana could truly become stronger through knowledge, her eyes widened.
How could there be such an outrageous person in this world? Was he really human? If she hadn't been unable to feel anything mechanical about Ren Isana, she would have suspected he was also an Ex-Machina.
Seeing that it wouldn't end anytime soon, Riku simply went to the side to wait quietly. His gaze looked at Ren Isana, and he couldn't help but think. He wondered if Ren Isana possessed something he could learn?
The world's integration would be in the future, and after this war ended, he would die, taken away from this world by Ren Isana. If he could leave something for the humans of this world, perhaps it would be a good thing!
After making a decision, Riku looked at Ren Isana, who was currently receiving Schwi's data. At this moment, Ren Isana's aura became increasingly powerful.
Tier 8, 30%, 50%, 70%... The Excelia bar continuously rose. In the end, after all the data was transmitted, Ren Isana's strength stopped at 80% of Tier 8. Of course, this was only Ren Isana's own estimation.
Because he no longer had a status plate, he still knew how much he lacked to break through to Tier 9. Carefully feeling his condition, Ren Isana nodded with satisfaction.
"I broke through without any bottleneck. This feeling is truly great!" Ren Isana's breakthrough was simple and crude, as if it shattered with just a poke. His strength directly reached Tier 8, and the energy in his body became purer and more abundant.
The small gap left wasn't a big deal. After this great war, Ren Isana was confident he could break through to Tier 9. If he faced the God of War, he now had an extra chance of winning. Although he didn't know what Tier the God of War was, it shouldn't be too outrageous, right?
No one had ever told Ren Isana about higher realms. After all, the strongest person Ren Isana had encountered was Director Ken. The other party hadn't made a move, so he didn't know exactly how strong he was.
"Is it finished?" Riku looked back at Ren Isana, a flash of curiosity in his eyes. Although he didn't know how strong Ren Isana was, Ren Isana gave him an extremely dangerous feeling right now!
"Yeah, it's done. My strength has taken another step forward. If I can learn the techniques of other races by then, my talent will become even stronger!" Ren Isana clenched his fist, an excited smile appearing on his face.
Riku nodded. Since that was the case, then the next thing was even more necessary. Before that... "Can I ask you for something?"
He looked at Ren Isana and asked very seriously. Faced with his inquiry, Ren Isana was a bit puzzled, but then he nodded. "What do you want?"
"I want to obtain knowledge from you that allows humans to possess power. Even if they can't become as strong as you, at least give humanity the ability to protect themselves!" Riku slowly voiced his request.
Hearing Riku's request, Ren Isana was stunned for a moment before saying with a smile, "You're thinking quite far ahead. If it's just that, then of course, it's no problem. In return, I can teach you the magic and martial arts of the world outside."
Saying that, Ren Isana took out a [Meditation] manual and some basic magic introductory books, along with a few potions that enhanced physical constitution.
"I can inform Schwi of the information in the books through transmission, and then let her teach you. At the same time, you can learn the script of our world. You can teach whoever you want!" After handing the books to Riku, Ren Isana said this.
As his voice fell, Schwi's data cable reached out directly. Her meaning was very clear: give her the things quickly. She would teach Riku next and also calculate the magic most suitable for him.
Seeing her urgent appearance, Ren Isana smiled and said nothing. He directly grabbed the cable and transmitted all the contents of the books and some of his magic.
After a bit of thought, Ren Isana even stuffed in quite a bit of [Elemental Magic]. Perhaps these things couldn't be used now, but someone would definitely be able to use them in the future. He just wondered if the things he left behind would reach the future?
The future was already fixed; would the things he did now still appear in the future? Ren Isana was somewhat curious. He would just treat it as an experiment. One way or another, some things would be left behind!
Riku took the books Ren Isana gave him. He couldn't read a single character on them, so he could only place his hopes on Schwi. This was probably why Ren Isana gave Schwi another copy, right?
The script of Ren Isana's world and the logic of magic were all transmitted to Schwi through data, which allowed her to quickly understand what the magic logic of Ren Isana's world was like.
After accepting the massive amount of data transmitted by Ren Isana, data flowed frantically in Schwi's eyes, and then she slowly spoke, "This is the magic most suitable for humans. Riku can master it quickly after learning. According to the analysis, the world possesses many things that can allow Riku to grow!"
As she spoke, Schwi listed a series of methods to make Riku quickly strengthen to Tier 5. By finding various things to formulate potions, Riku could break through to Tier 5 in the shortest possible time.
As for follow-up issues, they would be decided based on Riku's breakthrough situation. However, she did not recommend continuing to break through because if the improvement was too fast, Riku would suffer from a lack of mastery over his abilities.
Once he reached Tier 5, they could start increasing Riku's Magic Power capacity, giving him even greater power. They could even create a series of devices that allowed Riku to borrow the Ex-Machina's calculations to release magic.
Ren Isana felt a headache listening to the series of beneficial things Schwi said for Riku. These Ex-Machina were truly outrageous. But then he felt relieved when he thought about the situation in this world.
"I'll leave his teaching to you then. Some things can start being arranged now, can't they?" Ren Isana looked up at Riku, signaling that he could start his plan.
"Yes, then I'll start the plan outside while I learn!" Riku's mood was equally excited; the key for humanity to master power had been obtained!
Then it was time for him to fulfill his mission. Thinking of this, Riku's gaze immediately became determined. Since he already knew the future, he would do even better this time!
