Traveling Across Worlds, Beginning with The Irregular at Magic High School
After giving a few more instructions, William said goodbye to the two of them.
"Okay, be careful on the road!"
Silvia and Kirin said it in unison, but neither of them showed any reluctance.
They believed that William would soon keep his promise and come to pick them up, so this feeling was unnecessary.
"I know!"
The deep, dark, and twisted door opened silently once more, and William stepped through it without hesitation.
But what William didn't know was that after he entered the gate this time, the world did not fall back into the frozen state it had been before.
The world of the Asterisk War City continues to function normally, except...!
--A Gap of Worlds!
There was no color, only endless blackness.
William went even further, taking off his shirt to reveal his muscular back, and staring at the Book of Worlds hovering in front of him with a strange expression.
"You mean that by helping me integrate these energies, my race will be completely transformed?"
Well, it all seems so sudden.
Upon returning to the interdimensional space, the Book of Worlds automatically flipped to the last page.
Then, text suddenly appeared above.
However, he had anticipated that the Book of Worlds possessed its own consciousness.
There was nothing surprising about it, after all, this was already hinted at when it lured me to the world of the Asterisk War City last time.
Otherwise, why would the information on the City of the Asterisk War be recorded in such detail?
"I understand what you've said, but I still have one question."
"My current body is already moving closer to that of a naturally born spirit!"
"Do I still have a need to change my race now?"
William wasn't saying these things because he was unhappy about his transgender identity.
In fact, he himself had long recognized that the human body has limitations.
As he gradually came to understand the Blessing of the DanMachi World, he discovered that the ritual was actually a process of gradually transforming humans into spirits born of nature.
However, without the personal intervention of a deity, such a transformation would be virtually impossible, and even with divine intervention, the path would be extremely difficult.
But he was quite lucky; firstly, his qualifications already met the requirements!
In addition, Artemis gave him divine artifacts and the seed of divinity, which enabled him to successfully embark on the path to godhood.
Moreover, he felt that he had come a long way on this path.
First, he already possessed a kind of alluring power, similar to that of a god.
This is a key factor in his body gradually approaching deification.
Secondly, his mastery of "Orion" is also increasing day by day.
From initially only being able to barely use it, to later being able to freely transform its form, and finally to today, he has been able to successfully use the special abilities of this divine artifact.
That is the conceptual meaning contained within this divine artifact: the meaning that Piercing of All Things.
Anything targeted by this divine weapon will have absolutely no chance of escape.
Of course, even so, he still didn't fully unleash the power of this divine artifact.
After all, this artifact is said to be capable of Destruction the world if fully activated.
"They're not on the same level!"
A few words reappeared on the blank page of the book, which immediately piqued William's interest.
"What's the meaning?"
"Your current method of changing your race also has this limitation, which will immediately seal your power after you successfully change."
William nodded in agreement with this, acknowledging the existence of the Book of Worlds.
That's right, there are limitations to becoming a god in DanMachi World.
Because the fighting power of the gods there is predetermined at birth and cannot be increased through training or cultivation.
This is why those gods were so bored that they all descended to the mortal realm to play those child-raising simulation games.
Since cultivation cannot increase strength, and gods are immortal, it is all in vain no matter how much you fight and kill them.
William was content with his immortal lifespan and immense power, especially since many people aspire to godhood but lack the means to do so!
Although his approach has many limitations, he shouldn't be too greedy.
As for the issue of strength, we can figure that out gradually later.
"This rock is the origin of this moon; in other words, it is the will of this moon."
"What you need to do now is abandon your current body and merge with this blank slate of will."
"Finally, reshape the body!"
"This race is— the Star Spirit!"
Words kept appearing on the blank pages, and William's interest grew higher and higher until he saw the last two words.
"Star Spirit? Star Spirit?"
William scratched his head, a feeling of disbelief instantly washing over him.
As the holder of the Book of Worlds, he naturally also took the time to carefully observe all the worlds.
Many alternate worlds have different races, but worlds with the Star Spirit race are not many.
After reading the Book of Worlds's explanations, he felt that it increasingly matched his impression of the world.
"It is indeed Star Spirit from the Little Garden!"
