Angel Yan, Uchiha Madara, Whitebeard, Bai Xuan, Kurumi Tokisaki… Hadn’t their current strength already far surpassed their original counterparts in the stories by a huge margin?
And yet here she was, the group admin, still this weak.
She absolutely had to catch up. She was the admin, after all. What kind of image would it be if she was always at the bottom of the chat group? The admins of other groups would probably look down on her.
——
In the Kamen Rider world.
Tendou Souji gazed at the chat group messages with calm, unreadable eyes.
“Grandma once said, my evolution speed is faster than the speed of light. No one in the entire universe can match the pace of my evolution.”
“Points… Hyper Form… It’s time to put that on the agenda.”
“I have no intention of falling behind.”
——
In the Super God world, on a certain planet in the Angel Nebula.
This was the territory of Heavenly Base King Hexi. After stepping away from the conflicts, she had been living in seclusion here all this time.
Today, however, this planet welcomed a visitor—or rather, another master in a sense.
“Oh? If it isn’t Queen Kaisha. What brings you here with such leisure today?”
Hexi glanced at Sacred Kaisha and spoke in a teasing tone, her limpid eyes carrying a hint of playful charm.
“What, not welcoming me?”
Sacred Kaisha replied with a light laugh. Her gaze fell on Hexi’s busy figure in the laboratory, a trace of complexity flickering in her eyes.
“It’s been so long. Have you never thought about going out into the universe to take a look?”
“Staying cooped up in the lab all the time—you must be exhausted.”
Hexi heard Kaisha’s words and shot her a glare. Do you even know why I’m still running experiments even after retirement, you idiot?
Kaisha couldn’t help but smile at Hexi’s reaction.
The real reason Hexi had stayed here all these years was simply because she couldn’t let go of the Angel civilization.
The stronger the Angel civilization grew, the greater the dangers it would face.
Void… and Chill…
Kaisha sighed softly and pushed those thoughts aside.
“This time I came because that girl Yan has joined another rather extraordinary place.”
“Oh?”
Hexi’s interest was piqued by Kaisha’s words. She knew very well how proud Kaisha was—there weren’t many things in the known universe that she actually deemed worthy of attention. For her to use the word “extraordinary” was quite rare indeed.
“It’s an unknown existence beyond our universe. Functionally, it’s like a platform, but the members all come from different worlds.”
“In their worlds, they don’t solely rely on technology—or rather, technology is merely a supplementary force.”
“Magic, chakra, superpowers, spiritual energy, Pokémon…”
“In a sense, the existence of the Void has also been somewhat confirmed.”
A gleam of interest lit up Hexi’s eyes. She understood very clearly that the “different worlds” Kaisha referred to weren’t just other galaxies—they were genuinely separate realities.
“Take a look at this, and you’ll understand.”
Sacred Kaisha retrieved a strangely shaped fruit from the Sacred Knowledge Vault. It resembled a pineapple somewhat, but with distinct protrusions and unusual runes etched into it. What was more interesting was the noticeable luster it carried.
Hexi took it with great interest, and a flicker of data streams passed through her eyes in an instant.
“Unanalyzable.”
“There’s some kind of unknown energy enveloping it.”
Kaisha crossed her legs casually and said, already having tried that herself.
“What is this?”
Hexi’s interest deepened. If she wasn’t mistaken, this fruit was an item from another world. And since Kaisha had specifically brought it out, it probably wasn’t just meant for eating.
“A Logia-type Devil Fruit—the Glint-Glint Fruit.”
“After eating it, your body transforms into light. You become immune to physical attacks and most energy-based attacks, while also gaining the speed and power of light.”
“However, it has weaknesses: seawater, Seastone, and a power known as Haki.”
“Quite an interesting little thing.”
If Yan hadn’t told her about it and if experiments hadn’t been conducted, Kaisha wouldn’t have believed that a single fruit could achieve such a feat.
Just the aspect of turning one’s body into an elemental form alone made it distinctly different from current scientific understanding.
It had a certain flavor of a divine body, yet was clearly different.
If one word could describe it, it would be—mystery.
Magic, chakra, spiritual energy, Devil Fruits—they could all be called mysterious.
There was an intersection between technology and theology. Perhaps these items and energies could also be explained through scientific means, but clearly, they weren’t capable of that yet.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. If those words hadn’t come from you, I definitely wouldn’t have believed them.”
Hexi toyed with the Glint-Glint Fruit, a light laugh escaping her lips, her interest growing even more pronounced.
“What’s their value?”
“How much did you trade for them?”
“Very cheap.”
Kaisha said casually.
“The resources needed for one divine body could buy you a whole pile of them.”
“That is cheap.”
Hexi nodded in agreement. Before these two who stood at the apex of the known universe, the resources for a single divine body were hardly worth a second thought.
“You’re telling me all this… you’re not trying to get me to research it for you, are you?”
As if catching on to something, Hexi looked at Kaisha with a peculiar expression.
“You said that yourself. I never did.”
“If you can hold back, I can have Zhi Xin take over instead.”
Sacred Kaisha winked her right eye at Hexi. She knew Hexi wouldn’t be able to refuse—or rather, she wouldn’t be able to resist the allure of the unknown.
In scientific research, talent alone couldn’t take you far. You also needed to be deeply passionate about it.
And Hexi was exactly that kind of person.
“Hmph.”
Hexi let out a cold snort and turned her head away, refusing to look at Kaisha.
Her put-upon expression made Kaisha chuckle again.
“Alright, enough teasing.”
“This visit isn’t just about having you study these things.”
“There’s also another matter.”
At this, Kaisha rubbed her temples, looking somewhat troubled.
“The existence that Yan has joined has thrown my original plans into disarray. She’s no longer suited for the Galaxy Force project anymore.”
“But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, the Angel civilization has now revealed a brand new future we never could have imagined.”
“So I’ve appointed Yan as the next Queen of the Angels.”
“But right now, she still needs to grow. In terms of power, there’s no concern, but her mindset still needs tempering.”
“Becoming a worthy ruler requires more than just strength alone.”
“Well, what can you do? You think today’s Angels are like those from our era, who went through so much that they had no choice but to grow?”
Hexi rolled her eyes at Kaisha and continued:
“It’s not just Angel Yan who needs to grow. Those little ones in the Heavenly City also need to develop.”
“They have good talent, but they’re far too inexperienced.”
“Third-generation divine body research, deeper algorithms for the Sacred Language, celestial mechanics—there’s too much they need to study. For them, it’s already beyond what they can handle.”
