Chapter 40: The Dire Situations of Two New Members

The Wisdom of Exploration: "Kikyo, the dominance of youkai in your world doesn't mean all other worlds have equally powerful youkai."

The Wisdom of Exploration: "Rather, in most members' worlds today, youkai do not hold a dominant position."

Hermes frowned at the tone in Kikyo's words, finding it strange.

This seems different from the plot of Inuyasha.

In Inuyasha, Kikyo was the strongest shrine maiden of the Sengoku era, with countless youkai slain by her sacred arrows; had it not been for plot armor, it's doubtful whether Mikaela Higurashi would have ever appeared.

But now, Kikyo's tone suggests youkai have already gained overwhelming dominance?

Sengoku Shrine Maiden: "Is that so? What a wonderful world!"

Sengoku Shrine Maiden: "Human life spans only a few decades at most. Though my village is currently under my protection, after I die, its fate will likely be no better."

Kikyo said with a touch of melancholy.

As Kikyo spoke, many members furrowed their brows.

They hadn't expected such a world to exist outside the Administrator's world.

And it was even worse.

Though the Administrator's world runs deeper, ordinary people there can still live happily in ignorance, ending their lives in peace.

But in Kikyo's world, youkai are already fighting humans for living space!

Hermes and Luo Qianqiu, listening to Kikyo's description of her world, now understood: this was another crossover anime world!

Yuki Shiden, Inu no Taisho, Hagoromo Gitsune... Nuowen Huapiao...

Holy crap, when did all these great youkai end up in the same setting?

With these combined worldviews, no wonder even Kikyo, the strongest Sengoku shrine maiden, felt powerless.

Intermittent Amnesia: "Huh? Are Itachi people from another world?"

Intermittent Amnesia: "Could any kind soul spare a little food for Index? I'm too hungry to walk..."

Intermittent Amnesia: "I haven't eaten in a long time. I'll pray to the Great Lord to bless all kind-hearted people!"

Intermittent Amnesia: "Pathetic·Image·jpg"

In the image, a cute girl with silver hair down to her waist, appearing about fourteen years old, sat listlessly on a park bench.

She looked utterly pitiful.

Divine Chef: "What a poor child—click to claim the red packet I sent. If it's not enough, come ask Sister for more, okay?"

Seeing such a lovely child reduced to starvation, Flosa couldn't hold back; within seconds, she quickly cooked several dishes and sent them over.

She even paid the transmission fee herself.

Intermittent Amnesia: "Wah~ This fried noodles' sauce is perfectly sweet and sour, and this cabbage is so crisp!"

Intermittent Amnesia: "Sister, Itachi must be an angel!"

She slowly savored the dishes that had suddenly appeared before her, as if returning to her mother's arms, indulging in childish affection...

Unconsciously, tears streamed down Index's cheeks.

When she woke this time, her mind was blank except for the grimoires—she remembered nothing of her past or future...

She had thought she possessed nothing, yet here, in these dishes, she tasted the warmth of her mother's embrace...

Crossover Big Female Lead: "These two new members both seem to be in terrible situations!"

Crossover Big Female Lead: "Pity the teleportation function isn't active yet—if it were, we could go help them."

If her world could be called a crossover weird daily life, then Kikyo's world might be called a crossover realm of rampant youkai?

Though equally dangerous, at least in her world, even if she did nothing, no major changes would occur in the short term.

But Kikyo's world was different.

The youkai are a sentient race—a wise species competing with humans for survival space!

Under these circumstances, Kikyo's death or the annihilation of her people wouldn't be surprising.

And Index's situation, though not as dire, involves memory wipes once a year...

For an individual, it's the worst possible fate.

Luo Qianqiu didn't know how many more memory wipes Index would endure before meeting Kamijou Touma.

The Wisdom of Exploration: "Kikyo's situation isn't too worrying—don't forget the newly opened group link function."

The Wisdom of Exploration: "If it comes to life or death, I can just use this function to perform a [Divine Descent]."

The Wisdom of Exploration: "The real problem is Index—had I been able to go there in person, I wouldn't fear those gods of magic, but a mere group link? I'm not sure I can truly hold off that bizarre bunch of gods!"

Digital Savior Wants a Sister: "What exactly are these gods of magic? Even Lord Hermes finds them troublesome?"

Taichi Yagami was slightly surprised.

Taichi Yagami wasn't sure exactly how strong Hermes was.

But since he could cultivate Alpha Beasts and Omega Beasts, he was undoubtedly terrifyingly powerful!

His partner, WarGreymon, was still some distance from reaching the top-tier Ultimate form.

Even so, he was confident he could kick Earth like a ball.

Taichi Yagami couldn't even fathom just how strong the Super Ultimate forms, Alpha Beasts and Omega Beasts, truly were.

Under these circumstances, Hermes finds the gods of magic troublesome?

Crossover Big Female Lead: "Huh? I've heard of the Gospel of Magic gods—said to be beings capable of arbitrarily altering phases and concepts!"

Crossover Big Female Lead: "Itachi just find them troublesome? Hermes, have Itachi already become a Star God?"

Master of Huashan: "Is there something wrong with Lord Hermes's words?"

Crown Puppeteer: "What exactly are these gods of magic? Why would the Administrator be so startled?"

Star Sea Traveler: "Lord Hermes is super strong! Are these gods of magic stronger than the Star Gods?"

Snow-Moon Sword Immortal: "They sound incredibly powerful—even Lord Hermes is wary of them?"

Divine Chef: "Administrator, tell us— I'm very curious about the world this child lives in."

Crossover Big Female Lead: "The issue with gods of magic isn't about strength—how to put it?"

Crossover Big Female Lead: "Supposedly, each of these gods of magic possesses infinite power and can overturn all laws!"

Crossover Big Female Lead: "If I say that, Itachi might not understand—let me give an example: in all our worlds, 1+1 equals 2, right?"

Crossover Big Female Lead: "But these gods of magic can directly change 1+1 into 3, 4, 5... even infinity!"
