After explaining everything to the others, Izumi finally sent them off.
However, the leader of the Elven race stayed behind.
As for why she remained… no one knew.
When she eventually left, her cheeks were flushed red.
Izumi, on the other hand, could only watch her departing figure with an innocent expression.
"…As expected of an Elf. Impressive."
...
With matters in his own world settled, Izumi set off once more. Opening a gate between worlds, he prepared to travel onward.
None of the others followed him.
In fact, not a single one wanted to.
His world had simply become too entertaining.
Rather than wandering across worlds with Izumi, they preferred staying behind—playing games, winning abilities, and indulging themselves.
One could say they had all turned into gamblers.
Izumi could only sigh at that, but he didn't stop them.
After all, it didn't matter to him.
Even alone, he could enjoy himself just fine in other worlds.
…Or so he thought.
The moment he stepped forward to enter a new world—
He stopped.
No, more precisely—
He was blocked.
"…Huh?"
Izumi frowned slightly.
He had been rejected.
The world itself was denying his entry.
A grin slowly formed on his face.
"…Interesting."
"If I enter… will this world collapse?"
Now that piqued his curiosity.
What kind of world was this?
A world that couldn't even accommodate his existence?
Narrowing his eyes, Izumi's interest deepened.
Despite being rejected by the world's inner layer, he had still managed to reach its outer boundary.
At his current level—having reached the realm of the Three-Digit—such things were possible.
Expanding his perception, Izumi immediately noticed something.
There were others.
Several presences existed along the outer layer of this world.
They hadn't noticed him.
Or rather—
They couldn't.
He was simply too powerful.
Smiling faintly, Izumi activated an ability.
The power of Pisces.
His aura began to weaken.
Three-Digit.
Four-Digit.
Five-Digit.
For the sake of entering this world, Izumi went to great lengths to suppress his presence.
Of course, this wasn't true weakening.
It was merely a disguise.
An illusion.
Even so—
His presence was detected.
The beings stationed at the world's outer layer turned toward him instantly.
Without hesitation, they attacked.
"A newly born Magic God?"
"Did you ask for our permission?!"
Izumi finally got a good look at them.
One was a skeleton draped in purple robes.
Another was a silver-haired woman with chocolate-colored skin, her body wrapped in bandages.
The last wore a qipao, her appearance reminiscent of a jiangshi.
Seeing them, Izumi's eyes narrowed slightly.
His mind rapidly searched through memories.
And soon—
He found the answer.
"…Toaru, huh?"
"I was planning to use a World Locator Card to come here later… but it seems that won't be necessary."
"No wonder I was rejected."
A quiet chuckle escaped him.
Perfect timing.
He could test his newly acquired Simulated Creation Star Chart.
The moment that thought surfaced—
Power erupted from his body.
A terrifying force spread across the entire world.
At that instant, the Magic Gods within the world all turned their attention outward.
In the Far East—
Within the windowless building of Academy City—
the man floating upside-down in a life-support cylinder opened his eyes:
Aleister Crowley
"…This is…"
"An unknown power. A visitor from another world."
Before he could continue, a figure appeared behind him.
A being summoned through his wife's body—
The angel known as:
Aiwass
A being completely different from the angels described in the Bible.
A pure entity of physical laws.
One could even call it a "scientific-side angel."
At this moment, Aiwass gazed toward the outer boundary of the world.
Though it couldn't clearly see Izumi—
It could feel him.
A presence of overwhelming power.
Even at full strength…
It wouldn't be able to harm that existence.
Back outside—
Izumi naturally noticed the gazes directed at him.
But he didn't care.
The Simulated Creation Star Chart fully unfolded.
Immediately—
The Magic Gods were horrified.
Their power… was being reduced.
Not just them—
Even the magicians standing at the peak of the world felt it.
Fear spread everywhere.
Even the one occupying the identity of Lola Stuart—
The Great Demon:
Coronzon
—was shaken.
Izumi's power was simply too terrifying.
Even if the entire world joined forces…
They wouldn't be enough to defeat him.
Three-Digit beings were beyond comprehension in this world.
The Magic Gods were powerful—
But only within this world.
They relied on its phases and authorities.
Izumi was different.
Even in another world—
His overwhelming power remained absolute.
The Magic Gods finally reacted.
Their expressions filled with terror.
"A visitor from another world…!!"
"What do you want?!"
The skeletal monk stared at Izumi in horror.
If this continued—
They would be forced out of their phase.
Izumi's Star Chart was continuously weakening them.
At this rate—
They would be expelled from this world entirely.
And that would be fatal.
It would leave them vulnerable…
Even to death.
Seeing their fear—
Izumi smiled mischievly.
"That's all it takes for you to panic?"
"How pathetic."
"…Well, whatever. I don't have time to waste on you."
"I'm in a hurry."
The moment he said that—
Power surged once more.
A devastating attack shot toward the Magic Gods.
They immediately countered with everything they had.
But—
It was meaningless.
The gap in power was far too great.
The moment the two forces collided—
Their attack shattered instantly.
And in that instant—
Izumi vanished.
He had already entered the world.
"—!!"
"Cough…!!"
After he left—
The Magic Gods coughed up golden blood.
Their bodies trembled.
Their eyes filled with fear as they stared in the direction he disappeared.
"…That man…"
"…He's far too strong…!!"
