Shiroyasha stood frozen in place.
She had never imagined that Izumi's world would forcibly bind her existence to itself.
Now, she could no longer leave this world even if she wanted to.
The realization instantly made her feel terrible.
"Wha—?!"
"This is ridiculous! I never agreed to this!"
Shiroyasha shouted in disbelief.
Unfortunately, Izumi completely ignored her protests.
At that moment, he was far too busy managing the changes occurring throughout his world to pay attention to her complaints.
As the world evolved, Izumi began reorganizing its laws.
It was similar to upgrading a massive system.
He adjusted the foundational rules governing the world itself.
And soon, everyone began noticing the changes.
People who had previously lacked the talent to cultivate power suddenly found themselves capable of training.
Not only that—
The integration between worlds accelerated even further.
Some worlds Izumi had previously visited began merging directly into this universe.
One of those worlds was the world of the Godslayers.
The moment that world fused into Izumi's universe, its inhabitants were left utterly stunned.
Especially those who personally knew Izumi.
Only now did they truly realize what kind of existence he had become.
This was no longer a mere Godslayer.
He had already surpassed such concepts entirely.
The integration of the Godslayer world also caught Izumi slightly off guard.
Still, he calmly continued adjusting everything.
The gods that had once disappeared from that world were forcefully reconstructed by him.
Then, without hesitation, Izumi began merging them with the gods of his own world.
He completely fused duplicate divinities together into singular existences.
Naturally, whenever he performed these fusions, the gods he personally knew were prioritized as the "main body."
The unfamiliar ones simply became nourishment.
Their powers were absorbed to strengthen the chosen deity.
As for gods with terrible reputations…
Izumi simply erased them outright.
Their divinity was extracted and redistributed.
For example—
He directly erased multiple alternate versions of Ishtar from various worlds, extracted their authority and power, and fused everything into Tohsaka Rin.
The result was immediate.
Rin and many others received enormous boosts in power.
Their strength rose rapidly.
Izumi's actions essentially strengthened all of his allies using the resources of countless worlds.
Under such conditions, it would've been strange if they didn't become stronger.
Three-digit and four-digit beings were gradually becoming less and less significant.
Their numbers continued increasing at an astonishing rate.
After all, with Izumi constantly using the powers of multiple worlds to empower his people, growth was inevitable.
Rin and the others naturally welcomed these gifts happily.
No one would refuse free power.
...
Meanwhile, Shiroyasha also discovered something else after becoming bound to Izumi's world.
The connection itself brought tremendous benefits to her.
After sensing those changes, even she became slightly dazed.
Perhaps…
This wasn't such a bad thing after all?
With that thought in mind, Shiroyasha officially settled down in Izumi's world.
...
Not long afterward, another familiar figure arrived.
The Queen of Halloween.
And she had brought her entire Community with her.
The instant she entered the world, Izumi naturally noticed.
Without hesitation, he directly teleported Shiroyasha—who had been busy admiring cute girls nearby—to greet her.
Suddenly being moved through space, Shiroyasha blinked in confusion.
The Queen of Halloween looked at the abruptly appearing Shiroyasha with visible surprise.
"You really succeeded…"
A trace of fear flashed through her eyes.
Seeing that expression, Shiroyasha curled her lips smugly.
"So you finally came."
"I thought you'd take longer."
"Did you finish dealing with everything over there?"
The Queen of Halloween abandoning Hakoniwa this quickly genuinely surprised even Shiroyasha.
She hadn't expected the woman to move this fast.
Hearing the question, the Queen merely rolled her eyes.
"What do you think?"
"I brought my entire household with me, and you're still asking whether I finished?"
Wasn't the answer obvious?
Shiroyasha burst into laughter.
"That's wonderful!"
"Come on then. This lady will take you house hunting."
With that, she dragged the Queen of Halloween off toward Kayo and the others.
Since Shiroyasha was handling her old friend personally, Izumi naturally left them alone.
...
After finishing the adjustments to his world, Izumi finally took out the necklace Shiroyasha had given him.
"Well then…"
"Next comes the main event."
As he spoke, immense power surged from his body into the necklace.
Crack.
The necklace immediately began breaking apart.
A black radiance burst forth.
Soon, the entire necklace transformed into a sphere of dark light resting in Izumi's palm.
Looking at that black glow, Izumi smiled faintly.
"Wake up, Algol."
The moment he spoke those words, he increased the output of his power.
The black light rapidly expanded.
Gradually, it transformed into the shape of a woman.
Smooth white skin.
Long flowing hair.
An exquisitely beautiful face.
This was Algol's complete form.
Not only had Izumi restored her Spirit Origin—
He had even restored her power to its peak state.
Slowly, Algol opened her eyes.
Yet the first thing she did was not look at Izumi.
Instead, she casually created a mirror using her Gift and stared into it intently.
A moment later—
A dazzling smile bloomed across her face.
"Al-chan is soooo cute~!"
"Hehe~!"
