Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: March 7th! Exusiai! Busujima Saeko! Aqua!

Little Miss Pink:"Wow! What is this? Is this some kind of new invention from Ms. Black Tower?"

Busujima Saeko:"A strange screen appeared before my eyes... Is this some sort of high-level technology?"

Exusiai:"Hello! Hello, everyone! Is this a new way to chat? Or is my empathy acting up again?"

Goddess of Water:"This is Aqua, the Goddess of Water. I have no idea what this is, but since there are so many of you here… would you all like to believe in the Goddess of Water? Join the Axis Cult!"

Little Miss Pink:"A Water God? You mean the Star God? But I've never heard of you!"

Nanashi wasn't surprised by their confusion.

He knew they weren't just chuunibyous spouting nonsense.

The Doomsday Chat Group was real.

And it had already granted him power.

There was no reason for him to doubt its legitimacy.

Right now, however, he had to explain things to the newcomers.

Administrator: "Everyone, please listen to me."

Little Miss Pink:"Administrator!"

Exusiai:"Oh? The Administrator finally speaks? Did you create this using Originium Arts?"

Administrator:"Not quite. As the name suggests, this is the Doomsday Chat Group—a communication platform connecting different worlds to help us prepare for impending doomsday scenarios."

Administrator:"Before you dismiss this as nonsense, let me introduce the key functions of this group."

[Doomsday Sign-in] – Sign in daily to earn 1-100 Doomsday Points.[Doomsday Roulette] – Spend 1,000 points for a chance to obtain items or abilities from across the multiverse.[Ability Enhancement] – Strengthen your powers using Doomsday Points.[Ability Recycling] – Exchange abilities for Doomsday Points.[Ability Visualization] – Convert your abilities into detailed status screens.

Administrator:"I suggest you all try the Ability Visualization function first to check if your world has an impending doomsday event."

[Ability Visualization Activated]

Little Miss Pink:"H-Huh?! It says Future Doomsday (9 stars)... Wait, is my world actually going to be destroyed?!"

Busujima Saeko:"Mine shows Future Doomsday (4 stars)..."

Exusiai:"Oh... Future Doomsday (7 stars)? This is unsettling."

Goddess of Water:"Doomsday? How could there be a doomsday in the God Realm?! This says Future Doomsday (6 stars)—is that even possible?!"

Nanashi narrowed his eyes.

"Future doomsday, huh...?"

It was different from his world.

There were three types of doomsday scenarios in his world, and each one was rated at a staggering 12 stars.

[Human]: Nanashi Fumei [Administrator]

[Points]: 500

[Doomsday]: Cognitive Doomsday (12 stars), Abnormal Doomsday (12 stars), Uncertain Doomsday (12 stars)

[Abilities]: B-Level: Physical Strengthening (Lv2), Five-Elements Lightning-Dharma (Lv3)

Busujima Saeko—a character from Highschool of the Dead.

A classic zombie apocalypse scenario.

Dealing with a single zombie wasn't difficult.

But wiping out an entire world's zombie outbreak? That warranted a 4-star doomsday rating.

Then there was Exusiai, who mentioned Originium skills—clearly from the continent of Terra in Arknights.

Codename Exusiai...

That name brought only one person to mind—Lemuel.

Born in Terra, Laterano.

The situation in Terra was complicated.

The 7-star doomsday rating likely accounted for various existential threats: the Seaborn, demons, behemoths... but whether it included extraterrestrial dangers was unknown.

Then there was Little Miss Pink, who mentioned Black Tower and the Star God.

Judging from her tone, she was probably March 7th from the Star Rail universe.

What could bring about the end of their world?

A Star God? Or perhaps the very entity that Star God Qlipoth opposed?

And lastly, the self-proclaimed Goddess of Water.

She called herself Aqua and mentioned the Axis Cult.

There was only one possibility.

That dim-witted goddess who grants blessings in Konosuba!

If stupidity had a color, it would be blue.

Would there be an apocalyptic threat to the divine realm?

Unlikely.

Most likely, the "doomsday" in her case referred to the Demon King of the world she descended into.

Future Doomsday.

Nanashi was beginning to grasp the meaning behind that term.

It seemed to represent an inevitable catastrophe—one that was destined to occur in a particular world.

As for the doomsday in his own world...

He was only certain about one of them: Cognitive Doomsday.

Just like the malevolent spirits that Miko Yotsuya could see—the same ones he had recently eliminated.

His world harbored many supernatural entities.

Yet, due to its self-protection mechanism, these anomalies remained hidden.

The average person was blissfully unaware of them, unable to perceive or interact with such phenomena.

But now—something had changed.

For reasons unknown, the world's self-protection mechanism had vanished.

The extraordinary was bleeding into the ordinary.

And as more and more people became aware of it, the supernatural would manifest.

The moment widespread recognition reached a tipping point, the hidden horrors would surge forth.

If all supernatural phenomena were to erupt simultaneously, the world would collapse into an apocalyptic nightmare.

As these thoughts churned in Nanashi's mind, the others in the chat group were busy exploring the system's features.

Exusiai:"The points from signing in are so low. I only got 60. The roulette costs 1,000 points for a spin. What a scam. And Originium Memory Enhancement actually requires 10,000 points?!"

Nanashi raised an eyebrow.

Enhancement required 10,000 points? That meant her ability was at Level 2.

From what he had observed:

Level 1 → Level 2 required 1,000 pointsLevel 2 → Level 3 required 10,000 pointsLevel 3 → Level 4 required 50,000 points

Beyond that? He had no idea.
