Takumi operated inside the spaceship, then began inputting Nuwa's core instructions.
Through the converter, the code was transformed into a format compatible with the spaceship's system.
Since obtaining all the information from the Ark, handling these tasks had become far easier for him.
Though the two systems were completely different, some basic logic was still shared.
The converter made integration possible.
That was how Takumi so easily translated Nuwa's core code into something the Ark could accept.
As the upload progressed, Nuwa's core entered the Ark's system.
Then Takumi used the power of the Herrscher of Corruption to suppress and control the Ark's original artificial intelligence.
After that, he let Nuwa begin devouring it.
At the same time, she took over every system and database inside the ship.
In simple terms—it was a full takeover.
With Takumi assisting, Nuwa completed the process quickly.
She now fully controlled the Ark.
And she was linked to the outside network as well.
"You must have gained a lot of knowledge, right?"
"Next, we'll continue improving our network."
"Turn some of the important technologies into books."
"Send them to Abe Xiao."
"Let them keep learning."
[Understood.]
Nuwa responded immediately.
Although she had gained the Ark's entire database…
And replaced the original A.I.…
Her core remained unchanged.
She simply gained a massive amount of data all at once.
The pre-civilization's network system was far more perfect than anything in Teyvat.
Nuwa benefited tremendously.
Following Takumi's command, she began converting some technologies into readable textbooks.
Then transmitted them to Abe Xiao.
Seeing everything handled, Takumi said:
"Start the Ark and fly it to the rocket launch center."
"No one is allowed inside without my permission."
"If someone wants to visit, you may open the general areas."
"Do not open the important ones."
He gave Nuwa her instructions.
That Ark needed to be delivered to the Aerospace Center.
Guizhong would definitely want to inspect the interior later.
She was designing passenger aircraft—she needed reference.
The two worlds had different technological foundations.
Only by studying could she replicate anything.
[Confirmed.]
After receiving Nuwa's reply, Takumi didn't remain inside the Ark.
He left with a flicker of movement.
He had already absorbed all the Ark's technologies.
The ultra-transformation surgery was the most intriguing to him.
Could humans be turned into fusion warriors?
But Teyvat didn't have Honkai beasts.
If he modified the process… could Teyvat's monsters be used instead?
Like implanting the Explosive Tree's power…
Or Demon God energy…
After thinking for a moment, Takumi shook his head.
Forget it.
He'd deal with that later.
He had also gained a large amount of biotechnology.
Some of that could be given to Sucrose to study.
These techniques weren't particularly useful for him personally.
Though absorbing them increased his strength, it wasn't necessary.
Sometimes, brute-forcing with authority was easier.
After Takumi left, the Ark powered up on its own.
Then skimmed across the sea's surface, flying toward the Aerospace Center.
After finding an empty area, it quietly landed.
Meanwhile, Guizhong, who was with Zhongli, received the message.
She left immediately for the launch center.
Takumi, after returning to Guiliyuan, also received her message.
He replied briefly, then ignored the rest.
He headed toward where Griseo and the others were.
At this moment, Griseo and Himeko were walking around.
Thanks to Himeko and Seele, Griseo had already learned many things.
Many aspects of modern life confused her.
The deaths of her "big brother and sister" Flame-Chasers upset her.
But when she remembered Takumi's words about resurrecting them, she became happy again.
But then confused again…
Because Su had erased the coordinates of their world.
That meant Takumi had no way of reaching it.
So now they could only wait.
Wait for Su to send something else.
Then catch him.
Griseo spiraled in her own thoughts.
Soon, she was distracted by the city streets.
This world seemed very good.
People lived calmly and peacefully.
Though there were monsters…
They weren't threats to strong people.
And Griseo quickly found that even in her small form, she seemed very strong here.
While walking, she chatted with Seele and Hei Xi.
She was fascinated by the girl with stigmata.
As they wandered, Takumi appeared in front of them.
Seeing him, Himeko raised an eyebrow.
"You finished your work already?"
Griseo also looked at him with curiosity.
What happened to the Ark?
Takumi nodded.
"Finished."
"I sent the Ark to the Aerospace Center."
"Griseo, if you want to use it in the future, just go there."
"I didn't move anything inside."
"I only copied some data and replaced the A.I."
Hearing this, Griseo blinked.
Was that considered "not moving anything"…?
Himeko was speechless.
This guy… was that what he called leaving it untouched?
Copying data and replacing the artificial intelligence?
She didn't know what to say.
"What do you plan to do with Griseo next?"
"Send her to school?"
Himeko didn't care about the Ark anymore.
Instead, she focused on Griseo.
Should Griseo go to school?
Griseo was confused.
School?
That didn't seem right.
Takumi sighed.
"No need."
"Griseo doesn't want to go to school."
"Griseo, you'll live with me from now on."
"Do whatever you want."
Griseo wasn't Seele.
She was raised by Cosmo and Aponia.
Her mother had been Mebius' assistant.
She knew more than people assumed.
She only looked like a child.
She didn't need to go to school.
Let her do what she wanted.
Himeko nodded—nothing more to add.
Griseo nodded as well.
"All right!"
She had no objections.
Living at Takumi's place was fine.
She didn't want to attend school.
She wanted to wait.
To see if Su would send anything else.
She wondered if Su was watching.
Perhaps…
She needed to do something to make him notice.
