Michael received messages from all over.
He sighed inwardly, feeling helpless.
Still, he had no intention of explaining anything.
The fewer people who knew about their Lord's lingering will, the better. After all, some might not want their Lord to still be alive.
Once they recovered the Lord's will, they could handle everything else slowly.
That was the priority now—everything else could wait.
After Michael dismissed those who had come to question him, Uriel and the others returned.
At the same time, Takumi and Gabriel, who were scanning documents at the top level, also received the news.
Takumi was a bit surprised.
"You all move fast, huh. You already brought them back?"
That was some top-tier execution speed.
"Mr. Takumi, shall we go now?" Gabriel asked, clearly pleased.
With the targets secured, there was no reason to wait.
Takumi glanced at the still-working robots and nodded. They could continue scanning on their own.
As for him, it was time to meet Cao Cao and replicate the Sacred Gear.
Once he had the Twilight Holy Spear, he could simply wait for Serafall's news.
Before long, Takumi would complete his Sacred Gear collection.
Thinking this, he stood and said, "Let's go. Let's check it out! They're at the entrance, right?"
With a flick of his hand, Takumi forcibly opened a spatial rift.
Gabriel's eyes widened in shock.
He opened a portal in Heaven? In the most restricted area?
Unbelievable.
Heaven's space was tightly sealed—created by their Lord.
Yet Takumi tore it open without hesitation.
In the very core of Heaven, no less. If he wanted to, he could've stolen everything without permission.
But he hadn't. Instead, he'd come quietly and only copied a few things.
He really was… a decent person.
Gabriel quickly followed.
Together, one man and one angel descended to Heaven's entrance.
Michael was already waiting.
Seeing them arrive, he said, "Mr. Takumi, Uriel and the others will be here shortly. Please wait."
Takumi nodded—he didn't mind.
While waiting, he opened the chat group.
The group was lively, but the topic was... strange.
A few women were debating brands—what existed in their world versus others.
Takumi sighed.
Maybe it was best not to join the conversation.
The group lacked male members. It was practically a matriarchy at this point.
To Gabriel, Takumi appeared dazed—like he was staring into space.
But she saw nothing.
Was he communicating using some secret technique?
Michael noticed as well but didn't interrupt.
When the magic circle at Heaven's entrance lit up, Takumi snapped back to reality.
They'd arrived.
Takumi perked up.
The angelic army returned in full formation, surrounding several individuals.
As they arrived, Takumi immediately sensed the divine aura of their Sacred Gears—along with something else.
A powerful force, greater than Michael's.
That must be Ophis' power.
Takumi grinned.
"Mr. Takumi," Michael prompted.
Takumi nodded and stepped forward.
The angels made way.
Facing Cao Cao, Takumi studied him.
Who was this man? He didn't emit any holy energy.
Just an ordinary human?
The Hero Faction turned their attention to Takumi.
Without a word, Takumi raised his hand and activated a special force—newly acquired knowledge.
The God of the Bible had left backdoors in the Sacred Gears during their creation.
Takumi used one such backdoor.
He forcibly summoned Cao Cao's Sacred Gear.
Cao Cao's expression twisted.
"Damn it!!"
The others were stunned.
His Sacred Gear—ripped away in an instant?
"Quiet."
Takumi cast a cold glance their way.
A terrifying aura crushed the group.
They froze.
Even if they wanted to speak, no sound came out.
Takumi ignored them.
He methodically extracted each of their Sacred Gears.
They were like dolls under his control.
Michael and the other angels were stunned.
He had mastered that power?
Michael knew of it—but not even angels had managed to replicate it.
Takumi had only just accessed the archives. And already…?
Gabriel was even more shocked.
She'd been with him the whole time. When had he learned this?
Sure, the robots had scanned the knowledge—but this fast?
Unbelievable.
Takumi paid no mind to their astonishment.
He began analyzing the Sacred Gears.
The Hero Faction had been completely captured.
Cao Cao's Twilight Holy Spear.
Siegfried's many weapons.
Heracles' Giant's Play.
Jeanne's Sacred Sword Creation.
Georg's Mist of Extinction.
Leonardo's Beast Creation.
One by one, Takumi analyzed and catalogued them.
Then, he returned them.
All except the Twilight Holy Spear.
They stared in disbelief.
Only Cao Cao scowled—his spear wasn't returned.
Instead, it remained in Takumi's hand.
"Relax. I don't want your spear."
"I can copy it now."
Seeing his sour expression, Takumi smiled.
He really was a nice guy.
