Chapter 258: Danger Level
[5. Kurumi Tokisaki (Hero)
Rank: 7, Epic High
Status: Healthy
Current Power Status: Rank 7, Epic High
Danger Level: High]
Upon seeing this, Kurumi thought there was no problem since her energy level wasn't sufficient for rank 6.
Yuki also shared the same thought; Kurumi didn't have the required energy level yet. However, he also considered that her danger level might be the reason for her ranking.
After all, despite being a rank 7, she possesses Zafkiel, a very powerful angel, making her danger level comparable to a low to mid Tectonic. This is why Yuki always thought Kurumi could be a rank 6.
[6. Mikoto Misaka (Hero)
Rank: 7, Epic High
Status: Healthy
Current Power Status: Rank 7, Epic High
Danger Level: Variable]
"So, this is my rank? Wait... am I sixth?!"
Mikoto, looking at her rank, was surprised. The chat room knew her well, and she was astonished to see how monstrous her companions were, especially Yuki and Yami, who were the most overpowered.
With this, Mikoto gained confidence that her issue with the sisters would be resolved, no matter what Yuki decided to help her.
[7. La Folia Rihavein (Hero)
Rank: 7, Epic Medium
Status: Healthy
Current Power Status: Rank 7, Epic Medium
Danger Level: Variable]
"Well, it seems Miss Misaka is ahead of me."
Smiling at her rank, La Folia narrowed her eyes. She underestimated Yuki and his companions, especially since she thought she could be stronger than Mikoto. However, power levels aren't absolute, and anything can happen in a real fight.
[8. Inori Yuzuhira (Hero)
Rank: 8, High Legend (Growing)
Status: Healthy
Current Power Level: Rank 8, High Legend
Danger Level: High]
When Yuki saw her ranking, he sighed. As an adventurer, Inori had the power of a level 6 at most. Still, her danger level was 'high,' which Yuki understood, considering that if she used Resonance worldwide, she could potentially wipe out all races. Her danger level surpassed even La Folia and Mikoto, but the chat room didn't rank them higher. Yuki suspected they must have some way to avoid infection or their bodies could eliminate the Apocalypse virus.
However, this was only for now; her rank was (Growing), possibly due to the existence of the Voids. As a Void user, Yuki knew some of them were incredibly powerful, like the Singing Sword and its world-spanning Void.
[9. Yuno Gasai (Hero)
Rank: 10, Regular
Status: Healthy
Current Power Level: Rank 10, Regular
Danger Level: High]
Lastly, there was the normal girl in a group of monsters, Yuno. However, Yuki's mouth dropped when he saw Yuno's danger level. This wasn't a danger level a normal girl her age should have.
(Yuno is not normal)
As Yuki suspected, Yuno wasn't entirely well. This girl might have a danger level similar or even higher than he had in his past life. Yuki even began to suspect that Yuno, with a knife, could kill an entire group of people.
*Gulp...
Swallowing hard, Yuki felt the urge to close his eyes and escape from reality. If she had this danger level as a 'Regular,' what would happen if she got a Falna? Wouldn't she be unstoppable in Orario? Perhaps she is the most dangerous of all in this chat room.
"La Folia: Miss Misaka, you're very strong~"
"Mikoto Misaka: Of course! I'm a powerful level 5 esper! NO. 3 Railgun!"
Puffing her small chest, Misaka proudly declared, as she had worked hard to become a level 5. Even now, her efforts had placed her at number 3 in the entire Academy City.
"Kurumi Tokisaki: Although here I'm number 6...."
"Mikoto Misaka:...."
Kurumi's message deflated all her previous pride. As Kurumi pointed out, even if she's number 3 in her city, in this chat room, she was almost at the bottom of the list.
Well, it couldn't be helped with so many monsters like Yuki and Yami. There was simply no comparison.
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): You... like playing with emotions, huh?"
"La Folia: Who knows~"
"Kurumi Tokisaki: Fufufu"
Shaking his head, Yuki sighed. Without Yuno around, the dark-belly duo sought a new victim. And they found one. Mikoto was an easy target, so La Folia made the first move by lifting her spirits, and Kurumi killed her with her poor ranking.
Mikoto, on the other hand, gritted her teeth. After reading Yuki's message, she knew she was being played, but she refrained from responding. Anything she wrote would only serve as fodder for the two to mock her, just like a certain starry-eyed woman did.
"La Folia: That reminds me, Yuki-sama, who is Hestia?"
Since Hestia was separated from the group chat, none of them knew her except for Kurumi and Inori, who were part of the family.
(I guess it's time to reveal the truth)
After taking a deep breath, Yuki shared everything he knew about this chat room, the gods, and their rules. Needless to say, the girls were surprised to hear about a world full of gods. A world full of Destroyers. Just the thought of it made them sweat profusely.
Thought your world was dangerous? Imagine a world that could be destroyed at any moment. And if you walk down the street, you might bump into not one, but several of these planet-destroying beings.
Even Yami, the strongest, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. She even sighed, thinking about their luck of living in different universes. Otherwise, with the craziness of the Deviluke, it would only be a matter of time until they entered total war, and they might even face an incredible setback.
However, what Yami didn't know is that gods can travel through the universe and multiverse. So, it wouldn't be strange if the Deviluke had already been dealt with by the gods in the past.
But this is a conversation for another chapter.
With the terrifying reality of these beings living among them, the girls didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Yuki also explained that due to certain rules, the gods had their powers sealed, and Inori and Kurumi were with him in this world. They had also formed a 'Family,' and in the near future, they would be summoned.
"La Folia: Interesting~ Yuki-sama, I would like to see these 'Gods' with my own eyes."
"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): Soon, let me settle in, and I will summon you..."
Although it was terrifying, La Folia was very curious about these Gods,as well as the 'Family' and the 'Blessing.' Every piece of information was crucial to her, as her adventurous instinct was heating up.
"Yami: I want to go."
"Mikoto Misaka: Ugh... I'd like to go, but..."
"Emilia: I don't know what's happening, but it sounds exciting."
On the other hand, the girls felt their curiosity piqued, especially Yami, who thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to explore such an interesting world. With her food provider (Yuki) around, it wouldn't hurt to take a look. Moreover, these supposed 'Gods' had their powers sealed.
Mikoto also wanted to go. An adventure awaited, with Gods, adventurers, and monsters—a world where she could go all out with her powers without fear of causing destruction or facing severe infractions from Academy City.
Unfortunately, she was concerned about the 'Sisters,' so she hesitated. Even though Yuki assured her that time in her world would stop, she couldn't just leave everything behind. Both she and Yuki agreed that they would first resolve that issue, and then she would be summoned.
Emilia, on the other hand, didn't understand the conversation unfolding. Since she couldn't find the Ranking function, she was in the dark, not to mention her companions were speaking in unconventional terms, making her tilt her head in confusion. Fortunately, she caught part of the conversation about a journey to another world, so she thought it would be exciting to experience.
