"What is this?" Looking at the body appearing out of thin air, everyone showed shocked expressions. Then, Takeru grabbed Ost's still-dazed spiritual body and stuffed it into the new body.
He then cast a spell on it, allowing her soul to quickly adapt to the new body and completely fuse with it.
About five minutes later, the body Takeru had created began to move. Soon, it sat up.
Feeling its new body, Ost was stunned, completely unaware of what Takeru had done.
"Is this resurrection?" Watching Takeru's actions, Naofumi swallowed. Yui and Mio also showed surprised expressions.
Although they knew Takeru was very powerful and very mysterious, they hadn't known he could even use resurrection...
"Master is so amazing!" Koyuki said seriously.
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Takeru didn't say much. As long as the soul remained, Takeru could let others resurrect infinitely.
Of course, each resurrected body would be slightly different from before. For example, Ost could no longer be called human now, having a monster's physical constitution. This was actually a form of strengthening.
However, frequent deaths weren't a good thing for the soul...
"Mirellia, am I really resurrected?" Feeling this body was still a bit unfamiliar, but it was truly her own body, Ost felt very strange.
"Yes, it seems so." Hearing her words, Ost was very emotional.
"Your Majesty, General Diablo, General Esdeath!" With the Spirit Tortoise's dissipation, Takeru and the others were naturally exposed to the outside. Keel was the first to come to Takeru and the others.
"The Spirit Tortoise has been subdued. Have everyone pack up and return to the Dawn Empire." Seeing Keel arrive, Takeru spoke to them.
"Yes!" Hearing this, Keel quickly nodded.
...
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.
After subduing the Spirit Tortoise, Takeru had the knight order pack up their belongings and teleported everyone back to the empire.
Ost, Yui, and the others also came to the empire with Takeru. Since this wasn't the end of a wave, they weren't forced to be repatriated.
So, they could still stay in this world for a while. Knowing Takeru and the others had little time left in this world, they resolutely followed Takeru back to the Dawn Empire.
They could also take the opportunity to ask Takeru about using Nen in their remaining time.
Takeru didn't refuse their request. After bringing them back, he warmly hosted them and began preparing for his own return.
Although he needed to extensively hunt the monsters in his portable space, killing them posed no pressure for Takeru. He basically killed them before they could react, leaving no wounds on their bodies.
He just needed to kill the monsters and store them in his item bar, which would take about an hour.
As for the many slimes, he just needed to have them merge together before returning.
Meanwhile, watching the time he could stay continuously shrink, Takeru arranged everything properly. With Takeru's fueling, the citizens accepted the new king.
In two days, Takeru didn't have much time to level up. Reaching level 152, without special circumstances like activation, even Takeru found it difficult to continue leveling.
However, Takeru was content and didn't force further level improvement.
At the very end, Takeru gathered Emilia, Ram, and the others together and said their final goodbyes to Naofumi and the others.
"Takeru-sama, please don't forget us." Seeing Takeru handle all matters, Raphtalia and Rifana were a bit nervous. Currently, they were the only two without the ability to go to Takeru's world.
"Don't worry, I'll bring you over soon." Looking at the nervous raccoon-girl and cat-eared girl, Takeru stroked their heads to soothe them.
"Yes." Feeling the sincerity in Takeru's tone, the two relaxed. Having gotten used to being by Takeru's side, they found it hard to imagine the despair of never seeing him again.
"Yui, Mio, if you have the chance in the future, come back to visit us." On the side, Glass said goodbye to Yui and Mio with some reluctance.
"We will." Looking at the reluctant Glass and the others, Yui and Mio were also reluctant. In nearly three months, the girls had gotten along very well and had come to regard each other as good friends.
"Goodbye, everyone." Looking at everyone, Takeru waved gently, also feeling a bit emotional. Goodbyes were always somewhat sad.
However, it wouldn't be very difficult for Takeru and the others to return here if they wanted to. So, meeting again wasn't too hard.
"Goodbye. I will always remember the help you gave me." Looking at Takeru about to leave, Naofumi was very sad.
Having received Takeru's help from the moment he arrived in this world, even as Takeru was about to leave, he still lacked the ability to repay Takeru's kindness. This made him very sad.
"Naofumi, don't be like that. From now on, this world is yours to protect. I also hope you can take good care of the Dawn Empire." Looking at Naofumi's sad expression, Takeru patted his shoulder and spoke directly.
Although his physical age was only 16, much younger than Naofumi, Takeru still regarded Naofumi as a junior.
"I will do my best." Hearing Takeru's words, Naofumi's eyes were filled with seriousness.
"Is that so? Then I can rest assured." Hearing his words, Takeru nodded.
Then, Takeru briefly hugged Mirellia, Melty, and the others to say goodbye.
Finally, when the time on his Reincarnation Watch hit zero, Takeru, Yui, Mio, Emilia, and the others were enveloped in golden light and disappeared from the spot.
For several minutes after Takeru and the others disappeared, everyone remained immersed in a sad atmosphere.
Melty's eyes were particularly red, knowing the chances of seeing Takeru, Filo, and the others again were very slim.
Although Takeru had deprived her right as the first heir to the throne of Melromarc, he had brought her much more.
And far away, in the Filolial sanctuary, Fitoria clearly sensed the disappearance of Filo and Koyuki. She knew Takeru and the others had left this world.
Thinking this, she showed an extremely dejected expression, unconsciously hugging the slime in her arms tighter. This was a precious gift Takeru had especially left for her.
...
When Takeru came to his senses, he noticed a series of prompts from his Reincarnation Watch.
[Ding, do you wish to transfer the retainers summoned to the wave world now?]

[Do you wish to open the EX-Rank Evaluation treasure chest now?]
Looking at the series of prompts from the Reincarnation Space, Takeru felt some understanding. However, he didn't have Emilia and the others come over immediately.
Looking at the monster count, Takeru felt a bit embarrassed. But Takeru knew this probably included the number of monsters the slimes had hunted on Cal Mira Island.
Shaking his head, Takeru stopped dwelling on it. He had long anticipated achieving an EX-Rank Evaluation.
Takeru also knew that the evaluation boost from establishing the Dawn Empire was definitely very high.
After all, besides the personal evaluation boost from establishing a new empire, the series of subsequent reforms were also very important. Although troublesome, seeing the results made it all very worthwhile.
