Ren Isana thought about it, and the more he pondered, the weirder it felt. Could it really be what he suspected? If so, that was truly messed up, but it also seemed like exactly the kind of thing Pandora would do.
As the World Will, it would be a lie to say she didn't covet the *A Certain Magical Index* universe. Since she wanted to swallow it whole, those Magic Gods were naturally enemies of this world. Of course she had to fight them.
After all, they were parasites feeding on the world. How could Pandora tolerate them? Absolutely impossible. So those Magic Gods had to be eliminated. But what if she couldn't kill them with her current power?
Naturally, she had to find a way. And Aleister, the man who wholeheartedly wanted to eliminate the Magic Gods, naturally became Pandora's target. Reaching some kind of deal between the two probably wasn't difficult.
After all, Pandora was incredibly unique. Plus, once Aleister learned about the situation of this world and discovered that Pandora could devour other worlds to grow stronger, Ren Isana believed the man would be intensely tempted.
Although he didn't know what agreement they had reached, judging from the various advanced technologies appearing in this world, Aleister probably hadn't skimped on supporting Pandora. He had even provided her with the method to develop Esper abilities?
Except, upon arriving in this world, that method had directly manifested as a talent—a naturally awakened talent. Because Pandora had directly embedded the method for developing Esper abilities into the world's laws, as long as someone was a human within this world, their Esper abilities would naturally awaken at a certain age. There were no accidents or failures; it was a 100% awakening rate. How exactly they grew depended entirely on themselves.
The more he thought about it, the more Ren Isana felt it was possible. He looked at Director Ken and asked, "Do we still have contact with that side?"
Ren Isana was very curious about how often they communicated. Did they exchange anything during these communications? Hearing Ren Isana say this, Director Ken understood he was interested in that side.
Smiling, he shook his head and said, "You'll need to ask Miss Pandora about this matter, because she personally handles all communication with that side."
Anyway, Ren Isana could contact Pandora at any time now, so it was better for him to ask about this kind of thing himself. There was definitely communication; after all, Pandora would bring back good stuff from time to time.
As for where she got it? Among the worlds connected to theirs, there weren't many that possessed that kind of technology. If nothing unexpected happened, it was all brought back from that unopened world. This wasn't hard to guess.
Ren Isana nodded. He didn't delve deeper into this issue. After all, Director Ken wouldn't know the answers to these things; he could just ask Pandora directly when the time came.
The two conversed for a while, and Ren Isana's gaze fell on the Magic Circles beneath his feet. "Is it really okay to just lift the entire Nexus Island into the air like this? How will supplies and things be handled?"
If it floated in the air, wouldn't aspects like daily life be somewhat difficult? For example, water and various foods could only be transported from the outside. That would be a troublesome matter, right?
Furthermore, after directly floating up now, had they considered issues like whether flights over the sea would be halted in the future?
"None of these are problems. It's just a matter of opening a teleportation channel. As for water resources, the freshwater reservoir on Nexus Island contains a super-large-scale water-attribute magic. There's no need to worry about freshwater issues while above the sea," Director Ken answered Ren Isana's questions very calmly.
Because none of these were issues here. The island floating up had been planned long ago. This place connected to many worlds, and according to projections, more world channels would appear here in the future.
So it was also a good thing for this place to float directly in the air. After all, being on the sea surface still had many inconveniences, but that wasn't necessarily true in the sky. Many things could be directly restricted to the sky.
Even this sea area would be blockaded when the time came. Having operated here for so many years, these things had long been prepared, and all conceivable factors had been considered.
Listening to Director Ken's confident answer, Ren Isana didn't say anything more. Since the other party said so, Ren Isana wouldn't worry about it. He just needed to help inject Magic Power to make Nexus Island float.
Director Ken chatted with Ren Isana here for a while and then left. He still had matters to handle and couldn't stay here for too long.
After seeing Director Ken off, Da Vinci couldn't help but ask Ren Isana, "Master, where does that door you opened lead to? Why did you suddenly open a door here?"
This library had already become a Magic Workshop, and it was one of the core areas of Nexus Island. What did Ren Isana want to do by opening a door here now?
"That leads to Avant Heim. I moved Betty's library out. If you guys are interested, you can go over there and take a look." Ren Isana glanced at Da Vinci and the others, then explained it to them.
Hearing this, Da Vinci and the others immediately perked up. Betty's library? She was extremely interested in that. There were still many magic books inside that she hadn't finished reading, not to mention the other Heroic Spirits.
The reason they came here was nothing more than their interest in magic. Now that it was a library, there must be a lot of magic books, right? In that case, of course they had to run over and take a look.
Not long after Ren Isana finished speaking, the others just ran off. They all rushed headlong into the spatial channel Ren Isana had opened, including Da Vinci.
Watching this scene, Ren Isana immediately shouted with a face full of question marks, "Hey, you don't want this place anymore? You're just ignoring it? You're just running away like this?"
Good grief, Nexus Island was in the middle of ascending into the sky, and they were just going to ignore it? Were they serious? Ren Isana was truly dumbfounded at this moment.
"Don't worry about it. The island will stop once it ascends to a certain height. Just go busy yourself with your own matters!" After saying this, Da Vinci entered the Avant Heim library without looking back.
The others followed closely behind, leaving only Ren Isana alone in this empty library. At this moment, he was truly speechless.
He glanced around. Because of Da Vinci and the others, the entire library was now empty. The floor everyone was on had been completely sealed off, and Ren Isana could feel that this place had been completely severed from below.
In other words, future students wouldn't be able to go up to the third floor at all. This place had been completely monopolized and would become everyone's private territory in the future.
Discovering this, Ren Isana also felt it was quite good. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about people casually barging in. However, it was somewhat surprising that Hestia wasn't here today.
Usually, that girl spent all her time soaking in the library, but now she was gone. Grumbling inwardly, Ren Isana didn't stay here any longer. He directly left the library and headed for the Type-Moon world.
Today, he was going to ask Pandora what the heck that Dimensional Rift beneath Nexus Island actually was. If it really was *A Certain Magical Index*, then Ren Isana absolutely had to go over and take a look. As long as he wasn't discovered, it would be a success!
Thinking this, Ren Isana reappeared at the entrance to the Type-Moon world. Before he could step in, Pandora's voice rang out: "Do you want to go over there? Then just go. It's perfect, you can help me tell that upside-down man that things on my end will be ready soon."
Hearing Pandora's words, Ren Isana asked in surprise, "Are you sure? Didn't you say that world is very dangerous? Is it really okay for me to go over?"
The amount of information in Pandora's words was a bit huge. What did she mean by "ready soon"? Was she saying she could soon deal with those Magic Gods? That awesome? She wasn't just bragging, right?
"Hmph, hmph. Once I finish absorbing this world, my strength won't be inferior to theirs. When the time comes, I'll carry you and let you experience what it means to play on a max-level account!" Pandora told Ren Isana super seriously.
As soon as these words came out, Ren Isana immediately understood. In other words, after a while, she really would be able to defeat the Magic Gods. This was a bit outrageous, but it was also a good thing.
"Then what about the world opposite the Root?" Since she could solve the Magic Gods of *A Certain Magical Index*, the question arose: what about the world where the Root was located? Could Pandora solve it?
Although Ren Isana still didn't know what kind of world was on the other side, Pandora had said it was the strongest world so far, so it definitely wasn't simple. It couldn't be *Dragon Ball*, right?
If it was *Dragon Ball*, then it was better not to go. After all, there were guys over there who could easily destroy the universe. With their scrawny little arms and legs, they wouldn't even survive a light pinch.
"That world will have to wait. Let's deal with the upside-down man's world first. Just go directly over there. When you get there, tell him, and he'll let you play however you want!" Pandora's voice came again.
After saying this, she disappeared. Ren Isana had also obtained the information he wanted. Was that side stronger than *A Certain Magical Index*? Thinking of this, Ren Isana didn't dwell on it anymore. Since the other party allowed him to go play in the *A Certain Magical Index* world, of course he was going.
Thinking this, Ren Isana directly turned around. This time, he didn't return to Nexus Island, but came to an underwater building beneath Nexus Island. The entire space here was sealed off.
Floating in the air, Ren Isana also felt that power, and it was Pandora's handiwork. The power radiating from it was the power of the world, but it was now open to Ren Isana.
Taking a look, Ren Isana plunged headlong into the sea without hesitation. After swimming down for a while, the space in front of him instantly transformed, and Ren Isana's figure directly descended into a complex of buildings on the seabed.
Ren Isana looked up. The scenery of the seabed could still be seen here. Those buildings weren't some ancient structures, but modern buildings resembling laboratories.
Observing his surroundings, Ren Isana found that there was no one else besides him, so he walked directly towards the interior of the building. The moment he approached the main door, it opened automatically.
Ren Isana easily entered the interior of the building like this. He went deeper and deeper along a corridor, finally arriving in a spacious hall. This was exactly the entrance to the Dimensional Rift, and it was sealed by a powerful force.
Besides this, Ren Isana also discovered some things in this space. For example, various bizarre things placed in some glass covers on the side? Like... an arm or something!
