Crossover Anime: Edit everything, join the chat group

Thinking of this, Gu Chuan's eyes grew brighter and brighter!

He immediately opened the chat group that hadn't been this lively in a long time.

[Observer]: All members, urgent help needed! I need some objects containing special energy to test my newly acquired abilities. The type is not limited, but the more unusual and abundant the energy, the better.

After sending the message, he thought for a moment and then casually sent a lucky red envelope with a total value of 10,000 points.

[Ding! The "Observer" sent a red envelope in the group.]

As soon as the red envelope was sent out, the entire group was instantly flooded with messages (from Li De)!

[Ice Queen]: Oh? It was the Observer who took the initiative to ask for your help? How rare. It seems you've acquired some interesting new toy. [Ice Queen] has accepted your red envelope.

【Nightmare】: Oh my gosh~ Is there something that even Lord Gu Chuan is curious about? How exciting~ 【Nightmare】 has received your red envelope.

[Butterfly Dance]: (Shy expression) If Mr. Gu Chuan needs anything, I have some small decorations made of kagune here. I wonder if that would be acceptable... [Butterfly Dance] has accepted your red envelope.

[March 7th]: Wow! It's a red envelope from a big shot! Thank you so much! As for energy items... I have Mr. Train Conductor Pam's rare "Starry Sky Cola" here. It's said that every sip contains pioneering energy! [March 7th] has received your red envelope.

[Alicia]: Oh my, thank you so much, the cutest Chuan in the world!

Seeing the chat group suddenly become lively, Gu Chuan's lips curled into a pleased smile.

A unique "binge-eating feast" just for him is about to begin.

148 new members joined

Gu Chuan's plea for help and the red envelope he sent in the chat group were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples. The chat group, which had been somewhat quiet due to the end of the Holy Grail War, was immediately flooded with a series of messages at an unprecedented speed.

This time, Gu Chuan didn't send out those "huge" red envelopes totaling tens of thousands of yuan. Instead, he stingily sent out a "significant" red envelope with a total of 1000 points.

Even so, the enthusiasm of the group members remained undiminished.

[Saeko Busujima]: Oh? Does it need to be an object containing energy? Gu Chuan-kun, could you be more specific? Does it need to be like a knife, with a hard material that contains energy of the concept of "sharpness," or is it like a magical costume, an object purely made of energy?

Saeko Busujima has received your red envelope.

As expected of the intellectual leader in the team, Saeko always manages to grasp the crux of the problem immediately.

[March 7th]: Originium is too dangerous! My "Pioneer Cola" is much better! Safe! Healthy! Delicious! And it replenishes Pioneer Power! (Pam sends heart emoji)

Just as the group chat was buzzing with excitement, a sudden, unexpected system notification appeared in the center of the screen.

[Ding! A new member, "The Half-Elf Who Wants to Become King," has joined the group chat.]

In an instant, the entire group chat fell into a brief silence.

Everyone's attention was drawn to D, a character brimming with both flaws and information.

Half-elf? King?

As Gu Chuan looked at the letter D, almost immediately an image of a girl with beautiful long silver hair, purple eyes, who always felt inferior because of her identity, yet was incredibly kind and strong, appeared in his mind.

—Amelia.

Unexpectedly, the system pulled her into this this time.

[The Half-Elf Who Wants to Become King]: ...Excuse me...where is this place? Is this a new type of magic from the Witch Cult?

Emilia's voice, filled with vigilance and confusion, rang out in group chat 157. One can imagine the panic and unease she must have felt upon suddenly having such a strange "chat box" appear in her mind.

[Ice Queen]: A newcomer? An interesting D, no less. Don't worry, little girl, this isn't some witch cult, it's just... well, a small tea party connecting different worlds.

Esdeath, unusually, spoke in a relatively gentle tone to explain.

[Nightmare]: Ara ara~ Welcome, newbie! I'm Tokisaki Kurumi, nice to meet you!

[Alicia]: Wow! A new friend! Hello, Emilia-chan! I'm Alicia, nice to meet you~?

Everyone in the group welcomed this anxious new member in their own friendly way.

Just then, Emilia seemed to notice the red envelope that Gu Chuan had sent earlier, which hadn't been claimed yet. Seemingly curious, she touched the glowing icon with her consciousness.

[The half-elf who wants to become king has received your red envelope.]

[The half-elf who wants to be king]: Huh?! What is this...? My... my pocket suddenly has some... shiny things that look like coins?

[Observer]: That's points, the universal currency in this group. You can think of it as an all-purpose wishing coin.

Gu Chuan explained with a smile.

[The Half-Elf Who Wants to Become King]: ...I see... So... um... Mr. Observer, are you seeking help? You need... an object containing energy?

Emilia asked cautiously.

[Observer]: Yes.

[The half-elf who aspires to be king]: I...I have a small magic stone here that fell from a magical beast...I don't know if...but I don't know how to give it to you...

Just as she finished speaking, next to the chat box, as if the system had sensed her intention, an option to "send item" automatically popped up.

Emilia fumbled around and sent out the red magic stone that she kept close to her body as a catalyst through this magical function.

[Ding! You have received an exclusive red envelope from "The Half-Elf Who Wants to Become King"—[Glimmering Magic Stone] x1.]

Gu Chuan looked at the red stone in his hand that had appeared out of nowhere and was emitting a faint fluctuation of fire magic power, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This was exactly the perfect experimental material he wanted!

[Observer]: Thank you very much, Emilia. This is a return gift.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly gifted Emilia 10,000 points in the form of an exclusive red envelope.

[Ding! The half-elf who wants to become king has claimed your exclusive red envelope.]

……

Meanwhile, in a strange world filled with swords and magic, in the royal capital, at Roswaal's mansion.

A silver-haired half-elf girl with unparalleled beauty stared in disbelief at her empty palm.

Just now, that strange thing in her mind that called itself a "chat group" actually made the magic stone in her hand disappear!

Immediately afterwards, a golden, very fancy-looking "red envelope" appeared in her "field of vision".

When she subconsciously touched the red envelope with her mind, a huge amount of energy, which she had never felt before and which was incredibly pure, surged into her body out of thin air!

This energy, gentle yet powerful, instantly restored her spirit, which had been somewhat exhausted from excessive magical study! Even the unruly magic within her became more compliant and active than ever before!

"This...this is..."

Emilia's beautiful amethyst eyes widened in utter shock.

She...she actually received a return gift!

Moreover, it was such a precious and incredible return gift!

This chat group... it's actually real!

That person called "The Observer" is... real!

An unprecedented and overwhelming sense of surprise and warmth instantly welled up in her heart.

Because of her forbidden identity as a "silver-haired half-elf," the same as that of the Witch of Envy, Satella, she has always suffered the scorn and criticism of the world. Apart from Puck and Roswaal, almost no one is willing to show her genuine kindness.

However, today, in this inexplicably appearing place called "chat group," a group of complete strangers from different worlds showed her a pure warmth and friendliness she had never experienced before, without any prejudice.

In particular, the mysterious person known as "The Observer," who seemed to be at the heart of this group chat, proved the authenticity of everything to her in the most direct and generous way.

[Shinobu Kocho]: Emilia-chan, the world you live in sounds quite dangerous. Please be careful and don't trust strangers easily.

[Alicia]: Yes, yes! If you encounter any difficulties that you can't solve, be sure to tell us in the group! Everyone will help you!

Looking at the messages in the group chat, each one filled with sincerity and care, Emilia's eyes welled up with tears.

She gently buried her face in the gray, cat-shaped sprite beside her, and replied softly in the group chat in a voice filled with relief and emotion, tinged with a sob.

[The half-elf who aspires to be king]: ...Yes! Thank you everyone! I...I'm so glad to have met you all!

……

Meanwhile, in his apartment, Gu Chuan began experimenting with the magic stone.

He extended his left hand and activated L6's [Vector Manipulation].

In his vision, the internal structure and energy flow of the red magic stone were instantly and clearly analyzed. It was a relatively stable energy crystal formed by countless fire elements through years of sedimentation and compression.

"—Extraction."

With his command, the hard magic stone, like a sand sculpture weathered by wind, silently turned into a sky full of red powder. All the fire-type magic elements contained within it were forcibly stripped and extracted from the material's confinement by an invisible force, gathering into a fist-sized, constantly leaping, pure energy sphere.

Then, he extended his right hand and activated another, even more bizarre ability.

"—Bingeating."

That ball of energy, filled with violent fire elements, was instantly "erased" and devoured by an incomprehensible, higher-dimensional law!

boom--! ! ! !

A pure, warm, golden energy, seemingly from the source of life, suddenly flowed from his right palm into his limbs and bones!

This energy, though only a trace, is of a quality far surpassing any energy Gu Chuan had ever encountered before! It seems to be the "foundation" that builds all things, the "origin" that drives everything!

It gently and perfectly merged with Gu Chuan's body. He could clearly feel that his muscles, bones, and even every cell were undergoing a subtle, gradual evolution towards a higher level of life under the nourishment of this golden energy!

At this moment, his physical fitness was visibly and slightly improved!

"I see... Gluttony is not simply a conversion of energy, but rather... a purification and return to its source!"

An unprecedented, excited light shone in Gu Chuan's eyes!

It can devour and digest any form of mixed energy, and then purify and transform it into this most primitive and original "golden energy" that it can perfectly absorb!

So……

A bold and tempting idea began to grow wildly in his mind!

What if he devoured Rin's Jewel Magic, Esdeath's Ice, Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm, or even... an entire world?

Then, what kind of enormous and terrifying "primitive energy" could he extract?

How incredibly and terrifying could he possibly evolve his life to?!

The potential of this newly acquired S-rank ability is so great that it is in no way inferior to his [Vector Manipulation], which has already been upgraded to L6!

"...We can't wait any longer."

Looking at his remaining two hundred thousand points, Gu Chuan's eyes became more determined than ever before.

He wants to immediately raise the level of this ability!

"System! Upgrade my ability [Gluttony] to L5!"

[Ding! Command confirmed... Consuming 214000 Doomsday Points...] [Ability [Gluttony] is being strengthened...]

After using up almost all of his points reserves, a much clearer and more extensive information flooded into his mind.

When the enhancement ended and Gu Chuan slowly opened his eyes, only one thought remained in his mind, incredibly clear and incredibly strong.

--Hungry.

A hunger, originating from the depths of my soul and seemingly capable of devouring the heavens and earth, arose spontaneously.

He felt that he could eat anything now, and wanted to eat everything.

Tables, chairs, televisions, refrigerators... even the entire apartment building!

He forcibly suppressed the strange impulse brought about by the improvement in his abilities, but an even more bizarre and imaginative idea uncontrollably emerged from his mind.

"Speaking of which... since everything can be devoured..."

"Then... things like vengeful spirits, evil spirits, and cursed spirits, which are composed of pure negative emotions and spiritual energy..."

"...Is it edible?"

"Speaking of which... since everything can be devoured..."

"Then... things like vengeful spirits, evil spirits, and cursed spirits, which are composed of pure negative emotions and spiritual energy..."

"...Is it edible?"

This bizarre, even absurd, thought, like the most insane demon, was growing uncontrollably and wildly in Gu Chuan's mind. His golden eyes, which had just shone with divine radiance due to his breakthrough in power, now gleamed with the eager, exploratory light of a curious child who had discovered a new continent.
