In a forest in the United Kingdom, a black hole appeared, and from it stepped out a young girl and a Little Yellow Chicken.
"Spirits are disasters that destroy the world, monsters full of mysteries, and girls rejected by the world."
"Humans have adopted two approaches toward Spirits. The first is annihilation; once a Spirit appears in this world, they are eliminated by the AST, the Anti-Spirit Team stationed locally. The second approach is to converse with the Spirit, go on a date with them, make them blush, and seal them once a seal is achieved, thereby saving the world."
"Your Myriad Worlds mission this time is to seal three Spirits!"
The Little Yellow Chicken flapped its wings while introducing the background of this world to Illustrious.
"Do I also have the ability to seal Spirits?" Illustrious asked, stroking her chin.
"Yes! In this world, I have already granted you the ability to seal Spirits," the Little Yellow Chicken explained.
"That's good. How can I survive in this world without some power? Let's start the Myriad Worlds Gacha! Let me show you the luck of the King of Europeans," Illustrious said with a proud face.
"You, the King of Europeans? Puh! You've just been lucky once or twice, that's all."
The Little Yellow Chicken looked at Illustrious with disdain.
Illustrious looked back at the Little Yellow Chicken with a very scornful gaze.
"Oh! I seem to smell the scent of a face-slapping coming on. Since you don't believe I'm the King of Europeans, let's make another bet!"
"A bet it is! Same as last time, old rules! The best prize in this world's Myriad Worlds Gacha is a spirit crystal, and the worst is an ordinary pistol. If you're really the King of Europeans, then pull a spirit crystal for me to see." The Little Yellow Chicken continued, "If you can't pull a spirit crystal, you have to dissolve the contract and set me free."
"Wait! What if I do pull a spirit crystal? What then?"
"Then I will strengthen your spirit crystal tenfold and grant it the spiritual power to slay Spirits."
Spiritual power to slay Spirits? That's great! Even if I encounter the strongest Origin Spirit, I won't have to panic!
"Start the bet and open the Myriad Worlds Gacha!"
"So impatient to lose? Fine! I'll grant your wish!"
The Little Yellow Chicken waved its wing in the void, and a green virtual screen unfolded in mid-air. In the center of the screen was a red gacha button. Seeing this button, Illustrious immediately pressed it. The red button disappeared, replaced by a golden orb of light.
After the golden orb slowly cracked open, a burst of intense light appeared on the screen. The light was so blinding that the experienced Illustrious had already put on her sunglasses. "Fortunately, I was prepared!"
Because the Little Yellow Chicken wasn't prepared, its 24K titanium alloy dog eyes were almost blinded.
After the intense light faded, Illustrious and the Little Yellow Chicken stared at the screen together, wanting to see if a spirit crystal had been pulled.
A mechanical female voice first came from the screen.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Kingdom Spirit Crystal!]
Hearing this voice, the Little Yellow Chicken's eyes widened in disbelief. Illustrious actually pulled the best item in this world!
After pulling the Kingdom Spirit Crystal, Illustrious became smug.
"Believe I'm the King of Europeans now? A bet is a bet. Quickly strengthen my spirit crystal tenfold, and don't forget to add the spiritual power to slay Spirits."
"I admit defeat. You really are the King of Europeans."
The Little Yellow Chicken practically knelt before Illustrious. The first time could be called luck, the second time a coincidence, but the third time was definitely the King of Europeans!
"It's good that you admit defeat. You're so useful, how could I bet with you without being sure? Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Illustrious looked at this Kingdom Crystal. The Kingdom Spirit Crystal looked like a crystal—crystal clear on the surface and extremely gorgeous.
The Kingdom Spirit Crystal was Yatogami Tohka's spirit crystal, the Tenth Sephira of the Tree of Life. The Guardian Angel was still the Angel of Swords, demon king: sandalphon. When fully unleashed, it would transform into the Final Sword. The Astral Dress was the Spirit Dress of God's Authority, Number Ten, in the style of purple armor resembling a princess's gown.
Illustrious touched the gnosis on the screen, and then the mechanical female voice appeared again.
[Do you wish to use the Kingdom Spirit Crystal immediately?]
"Yes!" Illustrious replied.
The gnosis immediately flew out of the screen, hovered in the air for a moment, and was then caught by the Little Yellow Chicken.
The Little Yellow Chicken looked quite pained; it had to use the Power of Laws again. Sigh! When would it be able to transform from a chicken into a phoenix? Did it really have to wait until Illustrious finished ten worlds to become a phoenix?
"What are you dazing for? Hurry up and strengthen it!" Illustrious urged from the side.
"Stop rushing me! Would it kill you to wait a second? I really owe you," the Little Yellow Chicken said angrily.
The Little Yellow Chicken's left wing emitted a light as it slowly strengthened the Kingdom Spirit Crystal. After strengthening the spirit crystal tenfold and injecting it with the spiritual power to slay Spirits, it threw it into Illustrious's chest.
As soon as the Kingdom Spirit Crystal entered Illustrious's body, that massive power constantly surged through and transformed her body.
"Nn... Hah... Hngh-hah... Nn-hngh!"
In the blink of an eye, Illustrious's cheeks flushed, her legs clamped together, and her body trembled. With a very painful expression, she immediately collapsed to the ground in a duck-sit position and finally let out a cry toward the sky.
"Ah!"
An earth-shattering power erupted from Illustrious's body. It was the phenomenon known to humanity as a Spacequake, which spread in all directions.
Everywhere the Spacequake passed, everything was completely destroyed!
Boom!
After a while, a giant crater spanning a hundred miles appeared. Illustrious inside the crater had already Spiritized; she was now wearing the princess gown Astral Dress and holding the Spirit Dress of God's Authority, demon king: sandalphon, in her right hand.
Seeing the giant crater that looked like a meteor strike, Illustrious facepalmed.
Staring at the Little Yellow Chicken above, Illustrious grabbed it and began to squeeze it hard. "Little Yellow Chicken! What's going on? I never heard that Spiritizing would cause a Spacequake!"
The Little Yellow Chicken, squeezed into a ball, said painfully to Illustrious, "You didn't ask! I thought you knew!"
"It's clearly your fault for not explaining! Now you're blaming me!" Illustrious squeezed even harder.
"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die! Sorry, it's my fault, I didn't tell you clearly beforehand," the Little Yellow Chicken quickly admitted its mistake and begged for mercy.
Seeing that the Little Yellow Chicken really looked like it was dying, Illustrious quickly let go. "Will I have to return to the Neighbor World like other Spirits?"
The rescued Little Yellow Chicken flew into the sky and flapped its wings. "No, items from the Myriad Worlds Gacha are perfect and have no side effects."
"That's good. If I had to return to the Neighbor World and back to reality every time, it would definitely cause Spacequakes, which would not only harm civilians but also attract the AST," Illustrious breathed a sigh of relief.
Speak of the devil, just as Illustrious finished talking about the AST, the British AST appeared in the sky.
Looking at the dozen or so AST members operating Realizers, Illustrious knew trouble had arrived, and it wasn't small trouble.
