Seeing Takeru go over, Yui didn't hesitate. She quickly jumped up.
Seeing the delicacies Takeru had taken out, she licked her lips.
Although she had brought a lot of such food to this world, after nearly two months, it was almost gone.
Seeing the food Takeru brought out, Yui was naturally very excited.
Seeing Yui's carefree manner, Glass felt frustrated. But she still quickly followed. Regardless, Yui was her teammate. Also, since there was an enemy even Yui couldn't defeat, continuing with that plan was impossible.
"Eh, these are..." When Glass also reached the cliff edge, she noticed the delicacies on the stone table. Their aroma confirmed these were exactly the delicious foods Yui had shared with them before.
Seeing them, she salivated. These delicacies were definitely the best she had ever tasted in her life.
"Don't be shy. Just eat." Seeing Yui's eager yet hesitant expression, Takeru said with amusement.
"Hee hee, then I won't hold back. Great! If Mio knew I met you here, she'd definitely regret not coming along."
Putting some popcorn in her mouth, the unique flavor of BB Corn exploded on her taste buds, making her narrow her eyes in pleasure. Thinking of Mio not seeing this, Yui said happily.
"Mio came too? What weapon did she choose?" Hearing Yui's words, Takeru said with surprise.
"A sword. Mio is the Sword Vassal Hero." Hearing Takeru's question, Yui said bluntly.
"Yui!" Seeing Yui completely unguarded with Takeru, Glass felt somewhat at a loss.
"Sit down first. If I'm not mistaken, your purpose in coming here was to hunt the Four Saint Heroes, right? To stop the waves." Looking at the reserved Glass, Takeru said calmly.
Hearing Takeru's words, Glass was shocked. Her gaze towards Takeru became even more vigilant.
"Amazing, Takeru! How did you know? Did you see the ancient documents too?" Compared to the vigilant Glass, Yui looked at Takeru with admiration.
"Something like that. But these so-called documents have actually been altered by people with ulterior motives." Then, Takeru spoke directly.
"What do you mean?" Hearing Takeru's words, Glass frowned deeply.
"I have already investigated the truth behind the so-called waves." Looking at the two, Takeru said casually.
"You know the truth? Why should I believe you?" Hearing this, Glass's beautiful eyes froze, speaking with disbelief.
"Have you made a mistake? I'm not asking you to believe me. I'm simply sharing some intelligence out of kindness, seeing that your world is also threatened by the waves." Looking at Glass's reaction, Takeru said calmly.
"I believe him. Glass, we should be grateful. If we had made an enemy of Takeru, not only us, but even our world might have suffered a devastating blow. Takeru is powerful enough to do that." Looking at Glass, Yui, who was enjoying the food, reminded her with a light laugh.
"What do you mean?" Hearing Yui's reminder, Glass found it even more hard to credit.
"Literally. Takeru is the strongest person in our world. His power is enough to destroy the world." Looking at Glass, Yui spoke again. Although she had never seen Takeru's full power, she had learned a lot from the people who partied with him.
Like in the Slime World, Takeru had killed a Demon Lord. Although Yui didn't have a clear concept of a Demon Lord, she had seen the power of the high-ranking spirit Ifrit and the Orc Demon Lord.
Their battle with Rimuru had made her feel the insignificance of her own existence. The fact that Takeru could kill beings of that level already spoke volumes.
Not to mention Takeru's many subordinates. Whether Diablo, Ram, Rem, Beatrice, or Ryoma, none were simple.
Hearing Yui's high evaluation of him, Takeru smiled and didn't explain further.
As for Glass, looking at Yui, although Yui often seemed somewhat unreliable, Glass knew she wouldn't easily joke about such things.
That meant, even if Takeru didn't have world-destroying power, he definitely had the strength to kill them all easily.
"I see. I was rude. I apologize for my earlier behavior. And I hope you can tell me the truth of the waves." After thinking for a moment, Glass very sensibly bowed to Takeru in apology.
"Sit down." Hearing her words, Takeru still gently shook his head and gestured for her to sit.
"So, Takeru, what is the wave all about? How can we stop them?" After Glass put aside her hostility, Yui looked at Takeru expectantly and asked.
"It's simple. Actually, there is a mastermind behind the waves, called a [Deity]. And our real opponents have never been these low-intelligence monsters. Most of the true enemies are Reincarnators personally chosen by the [Deity]. These Reincarnators are mostly born as infants retaining memories of their past lives and gaming knowledge. They are called [Vanguards of the Waves]."
"They can read the characters of the Hero's world. They destroy the books and information left by previous Heroes, increasing the difficulty for Heroes to oppose the waves. They try to destroy the world. The world that succumbs to the waves will crumble, and the mastermind behind it gains vast experience points and other rewards."
Looking at the two, Takeru spoke the setting of this world as he remembered it.
After hearing Takeru finish, the two were stunned. They had never imagined the waves were like this.
As for how Takeru knew, they thought he must have found complete documents, or perhaps captured one of these so-called [Reincarnators]?
"So what should we do?" Thinking this, Glass had completely lost her hostility. Although she wasn't entirely sure if what Takeru said was true or false, she now had no reason to fight Takeru.
"It's very simple. Continuously increase your own strength and repel the waves. After the final wave ends, the world will enter a safe state. The Heroes will also receive rewards. The reward is a choice of three options."
"First, return to your original world with three wishes granted. Second, stay in this world, continue being a Great Hero, respected by all. Third, return to your original world, but gain the right to return to the other world in the future."
Looking at the puzzled Glass, Takeru spoke directly. The reason problems arose was all due to insufficient strength. With sufficient strength and omnipotence, any problem could be solved.
Of course, truly achieving omnipotence was a fantasy. But simply becoming stronger to solve the threat of the waves wouldn't be a major issue as long as they worked hard and cooperated.
After hearing Takeru's words, Glass fell into deep thought. Yui was surprised, realizing she wouldn't be able to participate in future events.
"By the way, what are the names of the Hunting Tool Hero and the Book Vassal Hero in your world?" Then, Takeru looked at Glass.
"Kazayama Kizuna and Ethnina Kyo." Although curious why Takeru asked, Glass answered truthfully.
"Is that so? The Hunting Tool Hero is already missing, isn't he?" Hearing this, Takeru asked further.
"How do you know?" Hearing Takeru's words, Glass stood up excitedly, her expression stirred.
After being expelled from her school, Glass met Kizuna, became her companion, and had long regarded Kizuna as her most important person.
However, after a battle against a ghost ship, they encountered a shipwreck.
Then, Glass lost all news of Kizuna. Besides knowing Kizuna wasn't dead, she had searched many places without finding where Kizuna had gone.
"There should be a place called the Infinite Labyrinth in your world. According to the hints, the Hunting Tool Hero is there." Looking at the two, Takeru continued.
"The Infinite Labyrinth? Kizuna is there? Really? Why did I never think of that!" Hearing Takeru's words, Glass was overjoyed. Although not completely sure, she at least had a direction now.
"That's really great, Glass!" Seeing Glass's excitement, Yui was happy for her.
"As for the current Book Vassal Hero, he is one of the mastermind's vanguards." Looking at the happy pair, Takeru continued.
"What did you say? Kyo is a vanguard? A Reincarnator?" Hearing this, Glass was completely shocked.
"Yui, this is a good opportunity for you. When you go back, take Mio with you to find him. But he retains memories of his past life and has lived in that world for a long time, so be careful." Looking at Yui, Takeru said seriously.
