Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Transfer to the New World
"Hmph, that should do it."
By leveraging "Human History," Bell pulled off a massive move against the "Miniature World," successfully drawing the attention of all its gods, Buddhas, and human heroes toward the "Incomplete One-Digit Theory." While the waters were muddied, he quietly split off a portion of "Human History" for himself.
After pulling off that big play, Bell connected "Human History" to the new world and completed the core installation.
Everything was carried out beyond the notice of the "Miniature World."
Even if they eventually realized this was his doing, the lure of a one-digit godhood had already robbed them of any ability to act. As long as they didn’t interfere during the early establishment of the new world, it would be extremely difficult for them to cause trouble later.
Once he finished his part, Bell immediately turned to Shiki Ryougi and Meteria.
"I’m done here. Start the full transfer now, while their attention hasn’t shifted back yet."
Shiki Ryougi and Meteria had already been prepared for this moment. As soon as Bell spoke, they began moving.
The humans and gods of both worlds were ready. When they sensed the spatial transfer begin, everyone remained calm, without panic or agitation, simply waiting for the process to finish.
With all preparations complete, the transfer didn’t take long. In just a short moment, all humans and gods had been moved.
The Type-Moon world, including its Singularities and Lostbelts, was almost entirely transferred.
The Danmachi world was even cleaner and more straightforward. Its people had already gathered around Orario, making the transfer far faster than on the Type-Moon side.
As a result, Meteria finished first.
"Bad boy, I’m done on my end."
"Mm."
Bell continued waiting for Shiki Ryougi’s report.
After a short while, Shiki Ryougi finally relaxed and nodded toward the mother and son.
"I’m done here too."
With both worlds fully transferred, only the three of them remained behind.
"Mother, you’ve completely severed your connection with the world, right?"
Bell asked one last time, making sure to confirm this crucial detail.
"Don’t worry. We already completed the final checks and confirmations long ago. We wouldn’t make a mistake on something like this."
Meteria gave Bell a reassuring look. As a mother, she might be a little unreliable at times, but as a three-digit "World," she was absolutely dependable.
Knowing how important this was, Meteria wouldn’t leave her child any hidden problems.
"Your mother won’t drop the ball here. We started cutting ties with the world three months ago. Almost everything has already been rebound to the world itself, and our personal connections to it have been completely cleared."
Shiki Ryougi backed her up. She had no intention of being labeled the one who messed things up.
"Then there’s no problem."
As long as their ties to the world were fully severed, Meteria and Shiki Ryougi would naturally have their places on the path to three-digit existence. Bell didn’t believe either of them would fail at something this important.
Bell stepped up beside them and placed a hand on each of their shoulders. At the same time, he connected to "Human History" and marked them with the imprint of consciousness born in the new world, completing the final step.
The past was cut away, and the mark of the future was placed upon them. Even if someone noticed something odd, there was no real issue.
After all, what the world perceived wasn’t the past, but the present.
"Let’s go."
Bell led the two of them into the new world.
A palace stood suspended in the sky, its floor made of clouds. Countless stars filled the heavens, and the sun and moon appeared together at the same time.
Principles surged through the space like a raging current, as if one were standing within an ocean of Authority.
This was the core space of the new world.
Only three people could stand here—Bell, Meteria, and Shiki Ryougi.
"Is this the upper layer?"
Meteria felt an unfamiliar sensation here, and Shiki Ryougi beside her felt the same. That alone told her this wasn’t some artificially constructed area of the upper layer.
"Obviously not. We created both the lower and upper layers ourselves. Did we ever make a space like this? Besides, this atmosphere isn’t something ordinary gods could withstand. Right, Bell?"
The focus naturally shifted to Bell.
It was clear this space hadn’t been prepared by either of them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be completely unfamiliar with it.
"Yeah, this definitely isn’t the upper layer. Simply put, this is the core of the new world. In the future, it should be a space only two-digit beings can enter. I prepared it in advance as a temporary place for Mother and you to stay."
Bell didn’t deny it. Given Meteria’s and Shiki Ryougi’s situations, leaving them in either the lower or upper layers wouldn’t have been appropriate. Placing them in the core was the best choice.
"In the new world, no god or human is likely to reach the two-digit level before us. Preparing ahead of time makes sense."
"Makes sense my ass!"
Meteria snapped back without hesitation.
"They just entered the new world. Right now, everyone’s starting at five digits. Even if they manage to reshape their divine essence and Authority within hundreds or thousands of years, do you really think they can reach three digits in a thousand years?"
She wasn’t being harsh for no reason. Realistically speaking, it would be nearly impossible for those gods to reach three digits under the current circumstances. Unless one of the three of them advanced to two digits, the highest those gods could ever reach would be four digits.
They were the founders of the new world, and they also represented its upper limit.
Only after one of them crossed into two digits would the gods behind them gain the right to move forward. That wasn’t a restriction—it was simply how things worked.
So moving into the core at this stage really was far too early.
