Multiverse: Why does the world show a health bar? !

Everything that needed to be experienced, everything that needed to be said goodbye to, and everything that needed to be done—had all been completed. Now, it was time to part ways.

The day of departure was in the early hours of the morning. The sky was just beginning to lighten, with the distant mountains faintly illuminated by the first rays of sunlight. The darkness had not yet completely receded, and the world was not fully bright.

A state of in-between.

Like a mixture of ice and water, the world at this moment was unexpectedly beautiful.

"Are you leaving?"

"Ah, I'm sorry for waking you, Kanae."

"It's fine. Anyone would wake up if the person beside them suddenly disappeared."

Kochō Kanae stood in the hallway, leaning against the doorframe, her entire demeanor exuding a lazy charm. "You haven't answered my question yet, Mo-chan."

Li Mo nodded.

He was actually more concerned about the way Kanae addressed him... It seemed the nickname "Mo-chan," which leaned toward being girlish, was going to stick with him.

"When will you be back next time?"

"I'd love to give you an exact number, Kanae, but I can't. To this day, I still don't know the ratio of time flow between worlds."

The flow of time between worlds was different. Perhaps several years would pass in one world, while only a few days would go by in another.

By chance, Li Mo could move between worlds, but that didn't mean he understood the intricacies of it.

"At a time like this, you should just give a specific number to comfort the girl. Really, Mo-chan, with a personality like yours, if it weren't for meeting us, no girl would like you."

Kochō Kanae wore a doting smile. She knew the reason he was being so honest.

Having a specific expectation, waiting day and night, only for that hope to shatter when the day came and the person didn't return—that would bring sadness and sorrow.

But... an unknown expectation could also be an anxious wait.

Oh well. His clumsiness was part of his charm, wasn't it?

Kochō Kanae's brows relaxed as she looked at the man before her. His interactions with her were like a clumsy child holding their favorite toy in their hands. Occasionally, the wildness he displayed was utterly captivating.

"Then go. We'll be waiting for you to come home, Mo-chan."

"Alright. Kanae, please say goodbye to those two for me."

Just like the last time they parted.

Li Mo's figure vanished before Kochō Kanae's eyes.

This was the second time...

Kochō Kanae thought.

This was the second time she had seen Li Mo disappear into thin air. It was hard to imagine what kind of knowledge or power was required to achieve such a feat.

"Has he left?"

"Yes, he's gone. So quietly."

Kochō Kanae answered her sister.

Mo-chan thought only I woke up to see him off. In reality, Shinobu and Makomo had also gotten up and come here.

Those last words...

Kochō Kanae said, "Actually, he already noticed you two. Why didn't you come out to say goodbye?"

As the older sister, Kanae asked her two companions. And then, it was just a conversation between the girls.

...

...

I'm back.

Li Mo looked around.

The room was unmistakably modern. Whether it was the interior decor, the furniture, or the technological gadgets, everything reminded him that he was no longer in the Taishō era.

—Wait, had the Demon Slayer world entered the Taishō era?

Never mind, I'm already back.

"None of that matters anymore."

History, time—none of it mattered. What mattered were the people living there.

This time, although I dealt with Muzan Kibutsuji, it seems I've accumulated even more emotional debts.

Entering the bathroom, he splashed cold water on his face. As a demon, cold water couldn't calm him down, but the act itself helped him settle his thoughts.

The system panel appeared before him.

Selecting the "Dungeon" option.

「Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (Available)」

「Genshin Impact (1 turn remaining)」

「Fate/stay night (2 turns remaining)」

No changes.

Entering a dungeon doesn't refresh the turn count. Do I need to complete a task to reduce the number of turns?

Inazuma will have to wait for the next round.

When will I go to the next world? What kind of world will it be? Will it be helpful to me?

"I'm overthinking again."

After leaving the Demon Slayer world and the Butterfly Mansion, Li Mo couldn't help but ponder the possibilities. What should I do in the next world to gain the most benefits?

If it's a high-level world, it'll be fraught with danger. If it's a low-level world, it won't be of much value to me.

"Don't think too much. Just focus on this world for now... I guess I should still go to Yurine's place and study that little evil god, huh?"

The self-healing ability brought by the third tail was listed as "Pseudo-Immortality" in the skill list. But since it was an ability I gained, it seems all healing-related abilities can be categorized under this tail.

Should I just eat the little evil god?

The thought flashed through his mind but was quickly dismissed. Although the little evil god was a bit of a scumbag, she was still a friend. She wasn't an enemy, and killing indiscriminately for power wasn't Li Mo's style.

But craving her body should be fine, right? After all, Yurine even cooked the little evil god's tail meat in hotpot. Surely studying half of her tail wouldn't be a problem?

Speaking of tail meat, dragon tail meat should work too, right? Since this world already has the little evil god, adding a dragon like Tohru shouldn't be an issue.

With his thoughts settled, he made a decision.

Firmly, Li Mo decided to visit Yurine this week.

With the next task decided, he focused on the present. On the system panel, his level had risen again, reaching level 17. However, looking at the experience bar, he wasn't far from level 18.

Muzan Kibutsuji had given Li Mo not just the third tail but also a massive amount of experience.

Hmm, it's surprising that a demon king who wasted a thousand years of his life gave so much experience.

"So, what exactly is the system's level?"

A new question arose. The system's leveling system was quite intriguing.

Is it the level of life? But my life level has already been elevated, and I haven't noticed any significant changes.

Maybe I'm just not standing high enough yet.

Looking at the one free attribute point, Li Mo decided not to use it for now. He wasn't particularly enthusiastic about allocating points.

Back then, I even talked about learning from the later generation's "Deep Blue, add points" spirit. But now, my growth relies entirely on my own learning.

"Sigh, there's still so much research to do. It's so troublesome..."

Sighing, Li Mo threw himself back into his studies.

He still had many tasks left unfinished. Now wasn't the time to rest.
