Chapter 97: Are These Fireworks Beautiful?

Takumi wasn't a person of this world. He could only sigh at what had become of its people. Although he could reset the world, Takumi had never chosen to do so. Instead, he preferred to handpick the people he wanted from other worlds. If you reset an entire world, the people in it wouldn't accept you. Worse, all sorts of trouble might arise. Takumi didn't want that. If that's the case, it was better to create a whole new world from scratch. As long as humans still existed, it didn't matter where they came from—who cared whether they were this world's original people or not? Maybe, in the future, Takumi could even create a Valhalla, bringing back some of the departed as heroic spirits. But true resurrection? Forget it. After surveying the moon, Takumi got to work. He landed directly on the lunar surface and activated his authority. Instantly, his power enveloped the entire moon, and the inside began to transform. Using the Herrscher of Reason's authority, Takumi began to reshape the moon. Anything useless was tossed down to Earth. Passing through the atmosphere, those things would fall as meteors. For now, no one could see it—night hadn't fallen yet. When those objects reached the ground, it would be nighttime. Consider it Takumi's way of putting on a fireworks show for everyone. In Takumi's world, there was no industrial pollution. Even the pollution left behind by humanity had been purified by the resurgence of spiritual energy. That's why, on cloudless nights, you could see the stars in space as clear as day. By throwing things from the moon, Takumi was sure that night would see an impressive meteor shower. Remodeling the entire moon was no small project, but the most troublesome part was building the server system. For power, Takumi simply used Honkai energy—after all, there was no magic in his world. Honkai energy or solar energy, either one worked fine. Turning the moon into a server might sound crazy, but Takumi could do it with ease now. He worked until night fell on Earth before finally finishing. The moon's appearance hadn't changed, but its interior was completely different. Now, the moon was basically just a shell—Takumi had installed the server system he brought back from the exe world right inside. Standing inside the humming, blue-lit server core, Takumi felt thoroughly satisfied. He snapped a photo and sent it to the group chat. Takumi: [Image] [Moon Server~!] [No more lag in games~! Billions can play together, no problem.] As soon as Takumi posted the massive sight, everyone in the chat was shocked. Kaguya Houraisan: [!!!!] [Give me one!!] [I hate laggy games.] [I'll PayPal you 50.] Takumi: [You wish!] [You think you can buy a whole moon for 50?] Seriously, how could you think that? The entire moon had been remodeled! Sagiri: [The moon??] Chika Fujiwara: [What did you say? The moon???] Himeko: [Huh? You turned the moon into a server?] That was certainly extravagant—not something simple at all. Just how much space did it take to turn the entire moon into a server? Was Takumi planning to store data for the whole galaxy? Bronya: [If only our world had such a server!!!] As the boss of a game company, Bronya felt nothing but envy. The laptop Takumi had given her was already beyond compare, and now he'd turned the moon into a server? Takumi: [Yep, it's technology I got from the exe world.] [Anyone want mechanical ascension? I can make it happen now~!] [Let's just fast-forward to Cyberpunk!!] Kusanagi Suoh: [Unbelievable... I'm speechless.] Anyone from a modern world would know how crazy Takumi's move was. It was truly on another scale—the power of a group member, indeed. Megumi Kato: [Is it really okay for my first day in the chat to see this?] This was already beyond her comprehension. Wasn't Takumi just making things hard for a high school JK girl like her? Takumi: [No, I just wanted to show off!] [@Miori Shiba @Yuu, remember to watch the meteor shower tonight.] [I dropped a lot of stuff from the moon.] Takumi chatted happily in the group while reminding Yuu and Miori Shiba to watch the meteor shower. Miori Shiba: [Image] [So this was your doing, right?] The picture showed a sky filled with meteor showers, blazing trails of light across the heavens. In Miori Shiba's photo, a group of young girls sat together, pointing and shouting excitedly at the falling stars. It was a truly beautiful scene. Takumi: [I just tossed some things down. No big deal~!] [So, did you like the fireworks?] [(????)??] Miori Shiba: [(?_?)] [It's pretty, but it was so sudden.] [Anyone who didn't know better would think something terrible happened.] She was speechless. Even if you're putting on fireworks, at least give us some warning! She thought it was another spiritual energy revival or something. After all, their world had that kind of history—spiritual energy revived, humanity was wiped out. And now Takumi was creating a meteor shower. How could she not worry? It was just one of Takumi's little whims. Couldn't he try not to be so scary? Miori Shiba was completely exasperated. Takumi: [What could possibly happen in my world? Don't make a fuss~!] [Oh, by the way, we've got angels now. If you see any, don't panic.] [If you see one, just relax!] Thinking of that, Takumi explained about Gabriel and the others. Miori Shiba: [Already guessed as much.] Takumi had said he would bring angels back, so now that he'd arrived home, of course the angels had come too. Nothing could surprise her anymore. In fact, she figured the others wouldn't be shocked either. They were all from another world, after all, and with Takumi's ability to travel, everyone was starting to wonder if more races would come in the future. No need to be surprised. Raiden Mei: [I'm here!!] [@Takumi, are you back yet?] At that moment, Mei joined the chat. Seeing her message, Takumi raised an eyebrow. Was this a request for help? Was it about to start over there? No, if that were the case, Mei wouldn't sound so casual.
