Izumi gazed at his newly simplified status panel, a deep sense of satisfaction rising within him.
The stronger one became, the simpler everything seemed.
Many of his abilities had merged together—especially the passive skills. After advancing into the Three-Digit realm, only four remained.
Omniscience and Omnipotence—a newly awakened ability, symbolizing his entry into the Three-Digit tier.
Then there were Absolute Defense and Absolute Offense.
True, literal absolute powers.
After briefly sensing the immense strength flowing through his body, Izumi nodded in approval.
Now, even if he were to enter the world of Little Garden, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit intimidated.
With two Simulated Star Creation Diagrams and three Sun Authority powers under his command, his strength would place him on par with beings like the Halloween Queen.
A transcendent level—perhaps even beyond.
If not for his still-lacking foundation, he might have already stepped into the Two-Digit realm.
That thought alone lifted his mood considerably.
At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder about the origin of his system.
What exactly is it…?
To think it had allowed him to reach such heights in just a few short years.
Without it, there was no way he could have become this powerful. An ordinary person wouldn't even dream of reaching his level in a lifetime.
If he hadn't obtained the system… he might still be struggling to survive in the DxD world—perhaps already dead on some battlefield.
Letting out a quiet sigh, Izumi chose not to dwell on it further.
Beside him, Avrora trembled slightly as she felt the overwhelming aura radiating from him.
"You've gotten stronger again!"
Izumi nodded calmly.
"Yeah. I've finally crossed that threshold."
"If I were to fight those beings from the EXE world again… I could probably wipe them out with ease."
A faint smile formed on his lips.
Avrora's eyes widened in shock.
He was already this strong?
Too fast…!!
But when she sensed her own changes, she quickly understood.
She had just entrusted Izumi with her core Familiar—Yōki no Sōhyō (Azure Ice of the Demon Princess).
It was her very essence.
Now that it had evolved into something far more terrifying, she too had received feedback from it, becoming significantly stronger.
At this point, Avrora and Izumi were inseparable.
You in me. Me in you.
Most of her power now originated from Izumi.
Even her familiars, now transformed into Star Beasts, were primarily under Izumi's control.
If he wished, he could even reclaim all of that power entirely.
The same applied to Est.
She remained asleep within Izumi.
Now that he had grown stronger, she too had advanced—falling into an even deeper slumber.
When she awakened again… she would undoubtedly be far more terrifying.
Izumi gently patted Avrora's head before leading her out of the room.
Next, it was time to meet the other races of this world.
With a mere thought, his perception expanded, instantly enveloping the entire world.
Everything became clear within his mind.
A certain Elf was bathing.
The Queen of the Sirens was lost in worry.
The Vampires had already begun interacting with their counterparts from the Nasuverse.
Observing all this, Izumi smiled faintly—lingering a bit longer on the Elves and the Sirens.
After all… those two races were famously dangerous in their own ways.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Snap.
With a flick of his fingers, Chlammy Zell appeared before him.
The sudden change in scenery startled her, and she let out a sharp scream.
When she saw Izumi's face, her expression instantly turned to one of panic.
"Y-you you you…!!!"
Izumi looked at her with a somewhat exasperated expression.
"Put some clothes on. I need to talk to you."
Her face flushed bright red.
Seriously!? You drag me here like this just to talk!?
He did that on purpose, didn't he!?
But recalling Izumi's terrifying strength, she immediately gave up resisting.
She obediently changed into the clothes he provided.
Yes—Izumi had absolutely done it on purpose.
After all, why waste a good opportunity?
Avrora shot him a look of pure disdain.
Once Chlammy was dressed, Izumi began summoning the leaders of the other races one after another.
Soon, he noticed something rather peculiar.
All the leaders… were female.
Even the Dwarves.
Though, Izumi had no particular interest in them.
Humans were summoned as well.
This time, it was Riku who appeared.
The moment he arrived, his eyes lit up.
He immediately bowed respectfully.
Izumi waved his hand dismissively—he disliked such formalities.
"Riku, from today onward, you will lead the humans of your world."
"This piece represents the Human Race. Take it."
As his voice fell, Izumi tossed a transparent race piece toward him.
Riku froze in shock.
"Th-this…"
"Izumi-sama, I—"
He tried to refuse, but Izumi cut him off.
"I trust you. That's all that matters."
"Lead your people."
"Use your wisdom to overcome the other races."
Riku stood there, stunned.
For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
He never expected Izumi to place such trust in him.
The leaders of the other races were equally shocked.
This supreme being… was entrusting everything to such a fragile human?
At that moment, over a dozen pairs of eyes turned toward Riku.
Izumi offered no further explanation.
Instead, he began explaining the nature of this world to them.
And its future.
Although warfare had been abolished—replaced entirely by games—the races themselves were still overwhelmingly powerful.
And Izumi intended to make use of them in the future.
So there were things he needed to make clear now.
The meeting lasted a long time.
Everyone was astonished by Izumi's origins.
At the same time, they were excited by the possibility he mentioned—leading them to fight in other worlds someday.
Being unable to use force was, frankly, suffocating.
Now, Izumi had given them another path.
How could they not be thrilled?
His request for them to coexist peacefully with the people of the Nasuverse surprised some—but no one objected.
After all, the overall strength of the No Game No Life races far surpassed that of the Nasuverse.
There might be friction at first.
But Izumi didn't mind.
As long as they interacted, things would eventually stabilize.
What he needed… was a steady rear base.
If he were to wage war against other worlds in the future, the last thing he wanted was chaos breaking out behind him.
He would not allow his world to fall into disorder.
Not under any circumstances.
