Chapter 2: Chapter 2 – Introduction to new members
Camera girl: "Wow! What is this thing? Could it be one of Lady Herta's new inventions?"
Saeko Busujima: "A strange screen that only appears in my eyes. Is it some kind of advanced technology?"
Apple pie: "Hello! Everyone, is this a new way to chat? Or is my empathy acting up?"
Water Goddess: "This is the Water Goddess Aqua. Although I don't know what this is, since there are people here, would you like to have faith in the Water God? Join the Axis Cult!"
Camera girl: "Water God? Could it be the Aeons? But I've never heard of it!"
****
Tatsuki did not consider them to be delusional.
The Apocalypse Chat Group truly existed, and it had granted him the Fivefold Thunder Technique. There was no need to doubt it.
However, now he needed to clear up their confusion.
Tatsuki: "Everyone, please listen to me."
Camera girl: "Administrator!"
Apple pie: "Oh, the administrator has appeared? Did you create this using Originium Arts?"
Tatsuki: "No, I did not. As the name of the Apocalypse Chat Group suggests, this is a chat group for intercommunication and resistance against the apocalypse across all worlds."
Tatsuki: "Before you doubt, allow me to introduce the chat group's abilities."
"[Apocalypse Check-in]: Check in daily to receive 1-100 apocalypse points."
"[Apocalypse Roulette]: Use 1000 apocalypse points to spin the roulette and obtain items or abilities from across the worlds."
"[Ability Enhancement]: Use apocalypse points to enhance your abilities."
"[Ability Recovery]: The Apocalypse Chat Group recycles abilities into points."
"[Ability Visualization]: You can convert your abilities into digital information."
Tatsuki: "I suggest you try the ability visualization first to see if there is an apocalypse in your world."
Camera girl: "Eh! It shows a Future Apocalypse (9 stars) here. Does that mean the world is going to be destroyed?"
Saeko Busujima: "It shows a Future Apocalypse (4 stars) here."
Apple pie: "Oh, it shows a Future Apocalypse (7 stars) here."
Water Goddess: "An apocalypse? How could there be an apocalypse in the Divine Realm? Future Apocalypse (6 stars)? It says there's an apocalypse here?"
"All of them are future apocalypses?"
Tatsuki pinched his chin in thought.
Unlike their worlds, his world had three types of apocalypses, and all were 12 stars!
[Human]: Tatsuki Hayashi
[Points]: 500
[Apocalypses]: Spiritual Apocalypse (12 stars), Anomalous Apocalypse (12 stars), Uncertainty Apocalypse (12 stars)
[Abilities]: Grade B: Physical Enhancement (lv2), Lightning Dharma: Yin Lightning (lv3)
Saeko Busujima is a character from Highschool of the Dead.
A typical zombie apocalypse.
Dealing with individual zombies might be simple.
But solving a world's zombie problem... a 4-star apocalypse rating is fitting.
Apple pie mentioned Originium Arts, which points to Terra from Arknights.
Apple pie... the only character he thought of was Exusiai.
Real name: Lemuel.
Born in Terra's Laterano.
Terra is quite complex.
A 7-star apocalypse should be a collection of threats like the Seaborn, monsters, and other dangers, though it's unclear if it includes extraterrestrial threats.
'Camera girl' mentioned Herta and the Aeons.
Judging by the tone, it seems to be March 7th.
Not entirely sure, but it's definitely from the Honkai: Star Rail universe.
Where does their apocalypse come from?
Aeons? Or the existence that the Aeon Qlipoth is fighting against?
Finally, the Water Goddess.
She claimed to be Aqua and mentioned the Axis Cult.
There's only one.
The dimwitted goddess from KonoSuba!
If idiocy had a color, it would definitely be blue!
An apocalypse in the Divine Realm?
Probably not.
Most likely, it refers to the so-called Demon King in the world she went to.
Future Apocalypse.
Now Tatsuki had a rough guess about this term.
Some kind of apocalyptic disaster that should originally exist in the world.
The apocalypses in his world.
He only understood one of them.
Spiritual Apocalypse.
Just like the malevolent spirits Miko saw and the one he recently exterminated.
This world has many odd elements.
Due to the world's self-protection mechanism, these beings have been hidden.
So, ordinary people have no knowledge of them and can't come into contact with them.
Now, the world's self-protection mechanism has disappeared for some abnormal reason.
The spirits begin to merge with ordinary people.
Gradually, more people become aware of these beings.
When enough people recognize it, the spirits will erupt!
When all spirits collectively erupt, the world will fall into apocalyptic destruction.
While Tatsuki was contemplating this, the others had already explored the other abilities of the Apocalypse Chat Group.
Apple pie: "The points from check-in are too few, only 60 points. It takes 1000 points to use the roulette, such a pity. And Originium Arts enhancement requires 10,000 points."
Tatsuki was slightly surprised.
Enhancement requires 10,000 points, which means her ability is at level 2.
From what he knew.
Level 1 to level 2 requires 1000 points.
Level 2 to level 3 requires 10,000 points.
Level 3 to level 4 requires 50,000 points.
He didn't know about the levels beyond that.
