Chapter 381

Wiz used illumination magic, only then allowing everyone to see the surrounding environment clearly.

Besides the grassland beneath their feet, outside was a void space.

However, there were also floating objects.

Those were miscellaneous items originally stored in this space.

"Gu~"

Megumin lay at the edge of the grassland looking at the seemingly bottomless void space, involuntarily swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"If one falls out, won't they die?"

She asked.

"No, it's just that before the space is filled, there's a sensation of falling."

Broly demonstrated, stepping one foot out of the grassland area, and floated in the void space.

"Then I'll try too!"

Megumin felt the boy swaying about was quite interesting, so she also stepped one foot out.

But her face quickly flushed red, her mouth opening yet no sound coming out.

Broly hurriedly leaned close, pushing her back into the grassland area.

"Hah..."

"What's wrong, Megumin?"

"Can't breathe outside, I almost died."

Megumin lay on the grass panting heavily, saying with lingering fear.

The Crystal Palace internal space's environment is like this; besides the exchanged environment areas having air, places detached from environment areas all have no air, just like a vacuum universe without radiation.

Only those like Broly who can hold a breath, or like Wiz this kind of undead creature that doesn't need to breathe, can stay in such an environment briefly.

"How amazing, I can feel the existence of magic elements in this grassland area.

But after leaving this area, only our own bodies internal have magic power."

Wiz tried entering and exiting once, then said.

"Suffocating, suffocating..."

Darkness was like a child who found a special way to play in the Crystal Palace internal space, poking her head out into the void space until she couldn't endure it then retracting back to the grassland area, a look of enjoyment on her face.

"Eh, seems we can also create environments here."

Aqua spoke at this time, and the edge of the grassland environment extended out a new environment space, which was precisely Aqua's usual Goddess Space where she works.

"So expensive, just this bit of broken environment, costs me two hundred Happiness Points too?"

Aqua felt a bit pained.

"Eh, it's true, the Crystal Palace Panel has a new prompt, we can create environments in this space."

Yunyun thought a bit, then created a room of her own in the Axel Villa.

Walls, bedding, objects and such, a total of over one thousand two hundred Happiness Points were charged.

But more importantly, the Crystal Palace's internal space was occupied by nearly 4 cubic meters.

Upon discovering this point, the girl panicked somewhat, hurriedly apologizing.

And when wanting to dismantle the room she made, she found this also charges a dismantling fee.

If the dismantling fee isn't paid, the items carried by the environment cannot be taken out.

【Prompt: The Crystal Palace internal space is the Crystal Palace Master and Crystal Palace Official Members' nest space; sufficient Happiness Points can build this nest space more comfortable and livable, but if environment spaces are built randomly, it may lower comfort and livability, please create environment modules cautiously. Note: Dismantling environment modules requires paying half the Happiness Points used when creating the module.】

"No matter, built it then don't dismantle, anyway you'll all occasionally come here in the future."

Broly waved his hand; he originally planned to make the Crystal Palace internal space into a portable safe house.

"Right, can you all go outside by yourselves?"

Broly thought of something, asked.

"My Crystal Palace Panel prompts that a door-equipped environment needs to be built in the internal space to connect the Cross-Border Door's effect."

Yunyun spoke, then did as the panel explained, opened the door of the room she created, and the person directly disappeared in this space.

And not a while later, the girl returned from the disappeared position.

"Yunyun, what's the feeling of entering and exiting the Crystal Palace?"

Broly asked.

"Feels somewhat like teleportation magic, but faster than teleportation magic, arrived in one shot."

Yunyun answered.

"Great, now we have a safe evacuation house!"

Hearing this, Broly was very happy, opened the Crystal Palace Panel's group chat room, and sent the message that the internal space was already open and people could enter.

"So fast?"

Type-Moon World, Rin Tohsaka who was browsing the group chat room was somewhat surprised, and told the others beside her.

A group of girls currently dining outside immediately summoned their own Crystal Palace Panels, and discovered the panel had an additional option to go to the Crystal Palace Space.

However, upon trying to click this option, a prompt message floated up on the Crystal Palace Panel.

【Need to possess an environment area of one's own world in the Crystal Palace internal space】

Broly didn't expect this restriction either; after the group chat room mentioned having wives, he hurriedly created other worlds' environment areas in the Crystal Palace internal space, all door-equipped room environments.

"Ah, cross-world entering the Crystal Palace internal space, why still need 1000 Happiness Points cross-border fee?"

This message was sent by Esdeath; her Happiness Points starting with 1 three digits fundamentally couldn't enter.

However, although her Happiness Points weren't enough and she couldn't enter the Crystal Palace Space, there were still enough people who came in.

Lilith Beast X upon appearing, first observed the surrounding situation; upon seeing Broly, she immediately shouted the boy's name and pounced over.

Lilithmon X pulled Broly directly into her embrace, using a passionate hug to express her longing for the boy.

Jibril and the others entered as well; the moment she entered, Jibril wanted to pick a fight with Broly.

Meanwhile, Sink Nirvalen was recognized by Aqua as the Elf Queen who had once tried to steal her position as Group Leader.

The two proceeded to enact a scene of "enemies meeting, eyes burning with hatred," grappling with each other inside the space.

Because Sink Nirvalen is an Elf who relies heavily on the surrounding environment, in the Crystal Palace's internal space where there was hardly any Spirit Power, she was completely no match for Aqua, who could use the Magic Power within her body, and was soon pinned face-down on the grass by Aqua.

"Slap slap slap~"

Aqua's palm landed on her buttocks, making a crisp sound, while her mouth questioned: "You pointy-eared one, do you still refuse to submit to me as the Group Leader of the Group Chat Room?!"

Sink Nirvalen bit her lip, putting on a pitiful, heart-wrenching expression, wanting to seek help from Broly on the other side.

But when she looked over, she discovered that Lilithmon X and Jibril were each holding one of the boy's hands, both wanting to snatch the boy to their own side to accompany them in playing (battle).

Official Members of the Crystal Palace from different worlds appeared in the Crystal Palace's internal space.

The Crystal Palace's internal space instantly became like a marketplace, all sorts of noisy sounds ringing out.

By the time things quieted down slightly, Sink Nirvalen had already been pinned on the ground and rubbed raw by Aqua.

Jibril, likewise because of the lack of a Spirit Power environment, after trading blows with Lilithmon X, was knocked down to the ground by the other party, and due to excessive consumption of the Spirit Power within her body, turned into Xiao Ji Pu Li Er.

"If it weren't for the fact that there isn't enough Spirit Power here......"

Compared to the Flügel, the strongest creation of the Star Cup World, the Digimon of the Digital World seem better able to adapt to the Crystal internal space's environment.

A group of wives sat down in the Grassland Area, introducing themselves to one another; this counted as the first offline meeting between the Crystal Palace's Official Members from different worlds.

Broly, meanwhile, caught up on old times with the wives from two other worlds who hadn't returned yet.

During this, Cronier spoke of how humans in the Star Cup World had built towns and could already live without hiding; her face was full of gratitude toward the boy.

Lilithmon X hugged Broly, while Broly hugged Xiao Ji Pu Li Er, presenting a peculiar stacked sitting posture.

Yunyun went outside and brought in some melons and fruits; although the Crystal Palace Official Members hadn't all arrived, most of those who came still held an offline gathering between wives from different worlds under the magical lighting provided only by Wiz's Light spell overhead.

"Speaking of which, can we go to other people's worlds through here?"

After deepening their understanding of each other, Megumin curiously raised this question.

Hearing this, everyone else was also a bit curious.

【Yes, but an additional Cross-World Fee and a Stay Fee in the other world after crossing are required.】

The Crystal Palace gave a reply, making the information float up on everyone's Crystal Palace Panel.

"This is practically encouraging us to settle down here."

Rin Tohsaka started complaining.

"Not practically, it *is* exactly that; didn't you see that staying in this space doesn't require any so-called Stay Fee?"

Sink Nirvalen, knowing the times, submitted to Aqua and now stood to the side, expressing her opinion.

"But, doesn't that mean as long as we settle here, we'll always be able to see Broly?"

Yunyun said with some temptation.

"Theoretically yes, but can people live in this place?"

Eris expressed some doubt.

Without Wiz's lighting magic, this space is pitch black right now.

"People can live, it's just like living while sealed away."

Wolbach felt it was fine, speaking as someone who had been sealed for many years and had the experience of not seeing the sun.

"People can live, but to live well, I'm afraid there's still construction needed; and apart from the internal space's environmental factors, everyone in their own worlds should also have their own lives, right?

Even if someone is willing to give up their life in their own world and choose to settle in this space, they still have to consider the problem of whether they can live happily here.

I just asked the Crystal Palace Panel and learned that we can also invest the Happiness Points we possess into this space.

The pressure of constructing the Crystal Palace's internal space, I feel, cannot be borne by Broly alone; we should also share the responsibility of building this home for everyone."

When Akame said this, she acted just like a capable and virtuous wife, and in fact she was exactly that.

After she said she had already invested her remaining Happiness Points into expanding the Crystal Palace space's size, the others also expressed themselves one after another, actually expanding the usable space inside the Crystal Palace to nearly three hundred cubic meters.

Among them, Lilithmon X was the main force; she put almost all her Happiness Points in, and stated that no matter whether this place was good to live in or not, as long as she could see Broly often, she would stay here from now on.

And when Broly isn't here, whether the Crystal Palace's internal space is dark or not, whether living here is lonely or not, she said both were no problem.

Because for Lilithmon X, who evolved from Chomusuke, being able to see Broly often is a kind of happiness.

The others wanted to follow suit, but most couldn't, because in their own worlds they all have their own lives, and have some of their own things to do.

"I don't have anything going on, so I can stay here with you."

However, there were also idle people; Ryougi Shiki said exactly this.

Because of these words, Lilithmon X's favorability toward this person greatly increased.

"I can too."

Yunyun spoke up at this time; her personality is relatively introverted.

She felt that with two people living here together, she wouldn't be afraid.

"Abandonment play, huh?"

Well, there's also Darkness, this big pervert.

"Speaking of which, if we want to use the toilet or take a bath here, what do we do?"

Megumin raised a question, and received a reply that the corresponding environment would handle everything; only a toilet environment needed to be built inside the Crystal Palace.

"Yunyun, Darkness, if you two stay, then what about me, the Red Demon Army, from now on?"

Megumin looked over pitifully; she didn't want to lose her two best friends.

After all, when living together, Yunyun handled all the housework, and Darkness was also happy to be ordered around by her.

"If you disappeared, the Ryougi Family would probably search everywhere for you, right."

Rin Tohsaka reminded Shiki Ryougi from the side.

Born human, one always has many entanglements.

In the end, aside from Lilithmon X, who could be utterly alone and abandon everything of her original world, the others were all not too suitable for staying here long-term.

And even for Lilithmon X, letting her return to the Digital World to research more of her own evolution forms, to see if she could produce more wife forms, was still better than staying here.

Sink Nirvalen persuaded Lilithmon X in this way.

After all, since she herself could not reside long-term in the Crystal Palace Space, how could she let a latecomer take the lead?

Who knows how much more Broly would set his heart on this guy with multiple wife forms after getting along long-term.

The struggle for the position of Main Wife has always been like this, inevitably involving some scheming and infighting.

Sink Nirvalen merely said some words about how doing this was better for Broly, and let Lilithmon X choose to return and strive to attempt new evolution forms.

The Crystal Palace Official Members' offline gathering began hurriedly and ended somewhat perfunctorily.

Broly, bringing Megumin and the others out from the Internal Space, only felt that he still needed to work hard to earn more Happiness Points.

Constructing the Internal Space environment well is one matter; upgrading the Cross-world Portal is another.

The former allows the Crystal Palace Internal Space environment to become a residence suitable for long-term settlement; the latter reduces the cost of cross-world entry into the Crystal Palace Interior.

And before coming out, Broly took his existing Happiness Points to upgrade the Cross-world Portal; the upgrade cost 20 million.

【Cross-world Portal (Lv2): Crossing worlds consumes 5000 Happiness Points, Stay Fee 500; cross-world entry into Crystal Palace Internal Space requires 500 Happiness Points.】

The remaining Happiness Points were also used to construct the Figure Zone environment, spent on obtaining extra Crystal Palace blank slots.

Separately given to Rin Tohsaka to invite Aozaki Touko in, given to Akame to invite Merad and them in, the last two were for Yugami and Alice.

【Crystal Palace, besides 26 Official Members, gained 7 Extra Members.

Respectively: Aozaki Touko (Kara no Kyoukai); Merad, Cornelia, Chikushi, Pony (Akame ga Kill! Zero); Yugami, Alice (Konosuba).】

Having purchased a batch of food convenient for long-term preservation, Broly chose to return to Nappa Star.

And because he met the wives from two other worlds in advance, he would stay on Nappa Star for a period of time going forward.

Mobile Charging to accumulate enough Time-Space Energy, to travel to a new world, to search for a new wife.

Listening to the wives' dialogue from the side, Broly reached a conclusion: the more wives, the higher the firewood flame.

To make everyone happy, one must construct the Crystal Palace Internal Space well.

To construct the Crystal Palace Internal Space well, one must have enough Happiness Points.

The main source of Happiness Points acquisition is finding new wives, letting them agree to become his wife in happiness.

The minor source is the Happiness Points produced daily by wives after becoming Official Members; the amount is small but can accumulate from little to much, gather sand into a tower.

Therefore, to make everyone in the Crystal Palace happier, more wives are needed.

And more wives make everyone in the Crystal Palace become a bigger family, which in turn requires constructing a larger Internal Space.

Therefore, it can be concluded: more wives, better space; better space, more wives; more wives, the better.

On Nappa Star, when Paragus learned from his returned son the happiness theory he had summarized, he instantly sucked in a mouthful of cold air.

This might not mean that in the future, his own son would give birth to a whole new Saiyan Legion just by having children with the wives he finds?
