"Phew... My strength is finally just barely enough." Gu Chuan looked at his impressive attribute panel and the few points he had left, and stretched with satisfaction.

However, at this moment——

"Ugh...it's so noisy..."

A soft, languid, and discontented whimper, like that of a kitten, came from his arms.

It's Eriri.

She seemed to have been awakened by the series of lottery effects, and her beautiful blue eyes opened a crack in the air, still half-asleep.

When she saw Gu Chuan in front of her, and then looked at his phone screen that was shining brightly, her brain was still in a daze, and she subconsciously thought... that they were going to continue "playing games" again.

"Do...do we have to do it again?" she pleaded in a thick-nasal, indistinct voice, "I...I really can't take it anymore..."

As she spoke, her body, quite honestly, wrapped itself around her like an octopus.

Gu Chuan looked at the listless and playful golden retriever in his arms and couldn't help but chuckle. While soothing the restless girl in his arms, he opened the chat group and, for the first time, had a profound moment of self-reflection about his life.

Esdeath again, Kanroji again, and now Eriri again...

Am I... acting like a jerk?

However, his "self-reflection" was quickly and completely interrupted by a system notification that suddenly popped up in the chat group.

[System notification: "Alicia" has sent a special red envelope!]

【Alicia】: Hehe, to thank Mr. Observer and March 7 for their hard work this time, and to celebrate our success in protecting world peace once again~ this little red envelope is just a token of my appreciation~ (containing 5000 Doomsday Points)

[March 7th]: Wow! Sister Aili is so generous!

[Little Thief Cat]: Rich lady! I'm starving! Time for food!

【Gemstone Demon X Neighbor (Six) Stroll 7 Eight Erba Read - Yi Shushi】: Tch, sycophant.

[Ice Queen]: Oh? So generous.

Alicia's sudden "money power" attack instantly brought the atmosphere in the group to another climax.

Nami, who had just experienced "instant wealth," couldn't help but chime in at the lively scene.

[Little Thief Cat]: Come to think of it, I don't think I did anything on this mission, yet I got a thousand points for nothing? I feel so embarrassed...

Gu Chuan looked at her statement and a mischievous smile crept onto his lips.

[Observer]: How could they have done nothing?

[Observer]: You did a great job.

These suggestive and pun-laden words instantly reminded Nami of their passionate yet frenzied "battle" in the cabin. Her pretty face flushed crimson, as if it were about to explode.

[Little Thief Cat]: (A series of angry hammer emojis) You, you bastard! Don't say another word!!!

On the other side of the screen, in Cocoa West Village.

Nojiko looked at her younger sister, who was staring at the air with a mixture of embarrassment and indignation, yet with eyes full of spring fever, and could only shake her head helplessly, letting out a long sigh in her heart that belonged to the "older sister".

My own plump, healthy cabbage has been completely devoured by that "pig" from another world.

The lively atmosphere in the group continues.

【Sword Dao Asura】: Seeing everyone getting stronger, I can't fall behind.

[Little Thief Cat]: Yeah! Me too! Next time, I'll definitely rely on my own strength to protect everyone! At least... at least I'll be able to help Mr. Gu Chuan a little!

The girls' resolute speeches warmed Gu Chuan's heart. Especially Nami; her carefree and innocent spirit, which remained as bright as the sun even after experiencing endless despair, earned him genuine admiration and affection.

Just then, Rin Tohsaka, who had been harboring deep resentment, suddenly steered the conversation to a more profound area.

[Gem Magician]: Hmph, what's the use of getting stronger? Some enemies simply cannot be defeated by brute force alone!

[Jewel Magician]: Take the world I (Li Le Zhao) live in, for example. Our final boss is an omnipotent wish-granting machine called the "Holy Grail." It is itself a conceptual existence, almost a manifestation of the "Root," constructed from the Third Magic, the Heavenly Grail. To kill it is tantamount to declaring war on the entire world's restraining force!

Rin's words made the atmosphere in the group extremely heavy for the first time.

[Alicia]: Is it an enemy involving the "root" and "laws"? That's indeed... beyond our current capabilities.

[Observer]: That's right.

Gu Chuan, after reading Lin's statement, readily admitted this as well.

[Observer]: With my current strength, I'm more than capable of dealing with physical or energy-based enemies. However, when it comes to something like the "Holy Grail," which is linked to "world authority" and "conceptual origins," my vector manipulation and Zanpakuto will also fail.

"I am not yet able to kill the God of Death."

He looked out the window at the sky and whispered to himself, "Tour."

103 new members joined the group

Gu Chuan's candid statement, "I can't kill the God of Death," gradually silenced the shock and commotion that had been brought to the chat group by his unexpected move.

As Rin Tohsaka watched the discussion about the "Holy Grail" and the "Root," her usually arrogant blue eyes revealed a rare, deep sorrow.

[Jewel Magician]: Yes... an enemy that cannot be killed, a fate that cannot be defied... just like Sakura...

She thought of her poor younger sister, Matou Sakura, who had been artificially and cruelly transformed from a young age, becoming a vessel for the "inferior Holy Grail."

Rin's unintentional remark instantly turned the previously relaxed atmosphere in the group chat into an extremely heavy one.

【Butterfly Dance】: ...Every world has its own unspeakable sorrow.

【Alicia】:qun}Two-finned sinister "Eight sulfur...

[March 7th]: Everyone... don't be so pessimistic! We have Brother Chuan! Even if he's a "god," one day we can...

Just as March 7th was trying hard to liven things up—

【bite--!!!】

A series of crisp, melodious system notification sounds, seemingly emanating from the very origin of the world, abruptly interrupted all the heaviness and sorrow!

[System notification: New soul fluctuation detected, connecting... Connection successful!]

Welcome, little fox spirit, to the [Cross-Dimensional Film Screening Club]!

Welcome 510 Nightmare to the [Cross-Dimensional Film Screening Club]!

Welcome to the [Cross-Dimensional Film Viewing Club]! (Blue-haired ahoge)

"Huh?! A new person has arrived?!"

This sudden triple notification for new members was like a shot in the arm, instantly dispelling all the gloom in the group!

[March 7th]: Wow! Three new people have arrived all at once! Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!

[Little Thief Cat]: (Eyes turn into a Pele symbol) Hello newcomer! Interested in learning about our great "All-in God Cult"? Joining the cult will get you a free [Never Lost Pointer (Fake)]!

【Alicia】: Ara ara~ There's another new, cute girl I can tease~

The girls warmly welcomed the newcomers, and the atmosphere in the group instantly returned to its usual relaxed and... slightly sarcastic and silly vibe.

[Gem Magician]: Hey! You guys, don't scare the newbie away right from the start!

[Butterfly Dance]: Hehe, indeed. First, we should explain to the three newcomers what this place is, right? Otherwise, they might think it's some new kind of scam group.

[Observer]: No need for deliberate proof.

Just as everyone was discussing how to convince the newcomers, Gu Chuan once again made the final decision with his Buddhist-like, group leader-like demeanor.

[Observer]: Believe and it exists; disbelieve and it doesn't. Fate will allow them to make their own choices.

However, the new members' reaction was much more intense than they had imagined.

[Nightmare]: ...Where is this place? Who are you? Is this some new type of experiment by some organization? Or...is it another of those disgusting pranks by those "gods"?

This newcomer, whose D is "Nightmare," opened his mouth with undisguised, cold wariness and intense aggression!

[March 7th]: (Startled) Huh? This new lady... has such a temper...

[Observer]: Oh?

Gu Chuan looked at the other person's profile picture, which was full of Gothic Lolita style, and the wording, which was full of the meaning of time and cause and effect, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

That tone...is it Tokisaki Kurumi? Interesting.

Just then, another newcomer popped up.

[Blue-haired ahoge]: Huh? Huh? Where am I? Wasn't I just fighting the giant frog with that good-for-nothing Kazuma? How did I suddenly end up here? Hey! Are you followers of the Axis Cult? Are you here to worship this goddess?!

[The blue-haired guy with the ahoge (a cowlick on his head) sent out a special red envelope!]

[Blue-haired ahoge]: Hmph! Seeing how sincere you are, this goddess will bestow some blessings upon you! Come and thank me!

[Little Thief Cat]: A red envelope?!

Nami's eyes lit up instantly! With lightning speed, she tapped on the red envelope.

Immediately afterwards, the chat group fell into an eerie, absurd silence.

[System notification: "Little Thief Cat" has claimed "Blue-haired Ahoge's" red envelope and received [Flying Cabbage x1]!]

[System notification: "Gem Magician" has claimed "Blue-haired Ahoge's" red envelope and received [Flying Cabbage x1]!]

[System notification: "March 7th" received a red envelope from "Blue-haired Ahoge" and has been awarded [Flying Cabbage x1]!]

……

A flying...cabbage?!

[Gem Magician]: ...What did I just...steal?

[March 7th]: ...Can I eat it?

[Alicia]: Pfft... Hehe... Hehehehe... Flying... Cabbage... I'm sorry, I... I really... couldn't help it... Hahahaha!

The outrageous content of the red envelope made everyone feel both absurd and amused, instantly pushing the atmosphere in the group to the peak of joy.

The scene shifts to a magnificent Gothic-style room.

The stunningly beautiful girl, Tokisaki Kurumi, dressed in a red and black spirit outfit, with one long and one short ponytail and her left eye covered by her bangs, is looking solemnly at the virtual screen that appeared out of nowhere in front of her, a screen that only she can see.

At first, she thought it was another prank by some kind of elf, or some unknown, new spacequake phenomenon.

But when she saw that guy with the "blue hair and ahoge" actually send out a gift that she could claim, and that a... lively, flying cabbage actually appeared in front of her after she claimed it, her expression, which always carried a hint of madness and composure, froze completely for the first time.

The reality of this other world was proven in the most absurd and illogical way.

"interesting……"

Kurumi licked her lips, and an unprecedented, intense interest flickered in her wine-red eyes.

She began to quickly scroll through the chat history. When she saw unfamiliar and impressive terms like "Upper Moon Three," "Doomsday Beast," "Vector Manipulation," and "Rumble-Rumble Fruit," and especially when she saw that the boy named "Observer" could actually stop the Earth's rotation for a moment, her heart, which had long been cold from carrying too much, began to beat wildly uncontrollably.

here……

Perhaps there really is a true "strong person" who can help her realize that tragic wish!

She no longer hesitated.

[Nightmare]: ...I think I understand the situation.

【Nightmare】: Well then, allow me to ask a question.

[Nightmare]: Who is the strongest person in this group?

Kurumi's purposeful and direct question silenced the atmosphere in the group.

All eyes turned to that one and only, godlike D.

However, the one who answered before everyone else was the very person who had just been troubled by "Dragon Slash"... the chosen one.

[March 7th]: (Hands on hips) (Smug) Hmph! Good question! If we're talking about the strongest, then of course it's...

[March 1th]: It's me! Didn't you see me? I'm 6 meters tall!

104, do you guys... have that?
