"Sounds like it's quite interesting."
Velzard asked, "Should we connect it to the Cardinal World like Konosuba?"
Though she called Konosuba an abstract example in words, Velzard's reaction clearly showed her strong interest in similar Otherworlds.
After spending extended time with Rin, Velzard had developed new ways of interacting with people.
To the strong, the Frost Dragon strikes with full force.
To the weak...
"I, Velzard, even if I'm a comedic character, must be the funniest one!"
This was the growth of the Frost Dragon, refined by the Konosuba World.
"Oh, right, you said there's a Dungeon there, right?"
Velzard said, "Isn't there already a ready-made medium then? Connecting them should be very convenient, right?"
"No."
Rin had no intention of rashly interfering with the DanMachi world. "Let's put that world aside for now."
"Why?"
Velzard looked puzzled. "If you're worried about the gods, then let me handle it!"
As she said that, Velzard licked her lips, exuding the air of a hunter eyeing its prey.
"Uh..."
Rin wasn't worried about the gods there.
Someone like Velzard would be a Creator God-level existence no matter which universe she was placed in.
No matter how high the divine rank in the DanMachi world was...
If Velzard went there...
She might not be invincible, but her divine rank would undoubtedly be among the top-tier gods.
And if Velzard was like that, then Rin even more so.
The reason Rin postponed exploring the DanMachi world was because the connection method for Konosuba was still in the experimental stage and had many bugs.
Rushing to bring the DanMachi Otherworld into the Cardinal World wouldn't be wise.
"I believe in your strength, Velzard."
"But we should take things one step at a time."
Rin said, "DanMachi and Konosuba are similar in nature, and the method of bringing them in also overlaps."
"Alright."
Velzard understood. She looked at Violet and asked, "What about the other two?"
"In the second world, I detected many entirely new laws."
"There is only one universe there, and time is extremely stable. Parallel timelines can't be born."
"This world has powerful individuals known as Magic Gods."
"Based on my observations, their average power is roughly equivalent to the Storm Dragon."
Violet added, "The strongest among them might even be stronger than you, Velzard."
"So many strong people!!!"
Velzard was delighted. She felt like she could rush into that world right now and fight those so-called Magic Gods.
"Sounds like..."
The more Rin listened, the more familiar it sounded. 'A Certain Magical Index?'
The Magical Index World.
A single universe.
The Magic Gods were like caged beings.
They could freely modify the rules of the universe, even restart the universe. Each of them possessed the power to create and destroy worlds.
However, this group of Magic Gods had experienced countless cycles and were now so bored they were on the verge of collapse.
"Rin~"
Hearing about so many strong people, Velzard subconsciously clung to Rin's arm, shaking it while whining, "I want to go see this world, can I?"
"..."
Being clung to and whined at by a beautiful woman like Velzard, Rin admitted he was weak against this.
"For safety's sake, it's best to test it out first."
Rin said, "Once we're sure there's no life-threatening danger, then you can go yourself."
"No problem!"
Hearing Rin's response, Velzard's face lit up with a radiant smile. "Woo~ I knew it, my Rin is the best to big sis~"
And so, there was another round of kisses, hugs, and snuggles to recharge Rin's energy.
Only then did Velzard let go of him.
Her clinginess made Rin both enjoy it and feel helpless.
"Later, I'll open a passage to the A Certain Magical Index for you."
"But don't act impulsively. First, send a parallel consciousness to test the waters, understand?"
By 'testing,' Rin meant creating a parallel consciousness, then infiltrating A Certain Magical Index like he did in the Type-Moon World.
He wasn't sure how strong the Magic Gods were exactly, but they were definitely at least at the single universe level.
To ensure Velzard's safety, it was necessary to send an avatar carrying a portion of her power to gauge the Magic Gods' true depths.
"No problem!"
Velzard was always ready, already raising her mental state to its peak.
As soon as Rin gave the order, she would throw a stack of parallel consciousnesses through the passage.
"..."
Rin didn't know what to say to that, so he could only turn and ask Violet, "Violet, what about the remaining Otherworld?"
DanMachi was an Otherworld, A Certain Magical Index was a new-concept universe.
The last world was also an Otherworld.
"Based on my observations, the overall strength of this Otherworld is not high. It falls between a low-level Chaos World and a mid-level Chaos World."
Violet said, "The strongest in that world, if placed in the Cardinal World, would roughly be on par with a monster that just entered Special A-Rank."
"Special A-Rank?"
"That's the strongest?"
Hearing this, Velzard instantly lost interest. "Such a weak world."
She didn't even want to step foot into such a low-level world.
"Indeed, it's a bit weak."
But Rin didn't mind.
His Dependent transformation could inherently break the world's rules, allowing a soul to fully demonstrate its potential.
Like Artoria and Justeaze. They both came from weak worlds.
But could you say their potential was inferior to monsters of the Cardinal World?
Far from inferior, they even vastly surpassed them.
That's why Rin still held expectations for the third world. He had Violet continue the report.
"This world is similar to the Cardinal Universe."
"Otherworld, cosmic starry sky, transmigration, arrival..."
"From the readings, it's evident that the world's rules have been modified. To put it in terms you can understand, Rin," Violet said, "It's like bringing a game character and transmigrating to an Otherworld."
"Oh!"
"So that's the setting!"
Rin thought of the transmigration webnovels he had read before. There really were such types.
Suddenly, Rin thought of something important.
"Speaking of which, we've already tested the channel connection."
"This other method, we can take this opportunity to try it."
The other method Rin referred to was moving the entire Otherworld to the opposite side of the Cardinal World.
Then, using the authority of world modification, turn it into an independent continent and have it descend near the Cardinal World.
