Chat Group Reappears

As waves of energy flowed into Megumi Kato's body, spreading through her limbs, the energy began to remove the impurities accumulated over the years, evaporating them without a trace.

Under Eriri's precise control, this energy caused no harm to Megumi's body; instead, it initiated subtle changes in her body structure. Every cell began to rapidly multiply, allowing her to reach her full potential. Her previously good figure began to evolve towards perfection, with her skin becoming tighter and smoother, as flawless as a polished gemstone.

At this moment, Megumi Kato's facial features didn't change much, but with careful observation, one would notice that her originally symmetrical features were subtly enhanced by the energy, becoming exceptionally exquisite—beyond the skill of the world's greatest sculptors.

Thus, once Megumi's evolution was complete, she would undoubtedly captivate everyone's attention. The weak presence she once had would no longer apply to her. She was destined to be a goddess admired by many, and this beauty now belonged entirely to Eriri.

At this point, Megumi's transformation was more than halfway successful. All that remained was for her body to fully adapt to the energy Eriri had infused, and then the transformation would be complete.

After some time, Eriri decisively cut off her control of the energy within Megumi and slowly withdrew her hands, exhaling a gentle sigh as the tension finally left her body.

"It wasn't that hard, after all. I knew I could do it."

Opening her eyes and looking at Megumi, who was still adjusting to the energy, Eriri's gaze was filled with satisfaction.

"Now we just have to wait for Megumi-chan to wake up. I wonder what abilities she'll have. Will she be as versatile as me? Hmm... that would be a bit too outrageous," Eriri mused to herself, stroking her chin.

"Hmm... speaking of which, there's that multiverse chat group in my consciousness. Maybe in the future, I can take Megumi-chan to visit other worlds. Given my strength, I wouldn't say I'm invincible, but I can at least keep us safe."

Thinking about the chat group she had muted in anger the day before, Eriri considered the possibility of using it for inter-world travel. This made the chat group seem not as useless as she initially thought.

Sensing Megumi's current state, Eriri estimated it would take some more time for her evolution to complete, so she decided to check out the chat group and possibly build a relationship with the group leader, as the owner had quite a bit of authority.

Recalling the last word she had sent in the chat group, Eriri felt a bit uneasy.

"It shouldn't have any bad repercussions, right? Since the group leader knows about me, they probably think I'm the original Eriri from the story. And what was the original me like? A total tsundere! So they'll just think I was being tsundere that day. Yeah, that's it!"

With this thought, Eriri focused her consciousness on the glowing orb representing the chat group and removed the mental block she had set. Instantly, the familiar chat interface reappeared in her consciousness, and messages began flashing across the screen.

"Arifureta (Group Leader): Kanae, how is your strength progressing? Are you confident you can defeat Doma?"

"Flower Hashira: I'm not sure if I can beat the Upper Rank Two. I've used my points to strengthen myself, and I feel stronger than most Hashira-level warriors now."

"Arifureta (Group Leader): That's not good enough. At this level, you're no match for the Upper Rank Two. We need to think of other ways."

"Flower Hashira: The problem is I have too few points and nothing good to upload to the chat group."

"Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: Arifureta, is this Upper Rank Two really as powerful as you say? I watched the memory images you uploaded, and I don't recall seeing such a character."

"Arifureta (Group Leader): Haha... it can't be helped. The memory images were extracted from my memory, and I traveled after only watching the first season of the Demon Slayer anime. I haven't read the manga and have only heard about Kanae."

"Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: The memories you uploaded about me aren't useful either. Those events happen almost six hundred years from now."

"Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: I don't currently see myself seeking death."

"Flower Hashira: It's okay, Arifureta. Knowing what the future holds has already been a great help. Knowing Shinobu's future made me realize that humans and demons cannot coexist. I was too naive. I won't let those things happen again."

"The Ashen Witch: Future information is indeed significant for Kanae, but for me, knowing the future takes away the novelty of my journey."

"Arifureta (Group Leader): Well, memory images are just what might happen in the future, but the future isn't set in stone. Now that we're in this chat group connecting the multiverse, with its help, we can surely rewrite our futures. So don't worry too much about the memory images; just use them as references."

"Iron-Blooded Hot-Blooded Cold-Blooded Vampire: Indeed, that's true."

From their conversation, Eriri pieced together some information about these group members.

"So, I was right. Arifureta is indeed a transmigrator, though I'm not sure which timeline she's in. This chat group must be her cheat after transmigrating, which explains why she's the group leader."

Confirming that the group leader was a transmigrator made Eriri reflect. There seem to be many protagonists across the multiverse, but she was confident she wasn't inferior to anyone.

"Arifureta (Group Leader): I wonder what new features the chat group will have after this update. Maybe something that can help Kanae. It's been almost a day, and it's still not done updating."

"Kashiwagi Eri: What? It's still updating? What kind of lousy group is this? Why can't it be like other chat groups that update in an instant? Waiting this long is just too much..."
