I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

"You believe that your will is sufficient to control me, the witch of greed; that your secrets are enough to satisfy my insatiable thirst for new knowledge and new possibilities, is that it?"

Natsuki Subaru hesitated for a moment, but then nodded firmly.

"Yes."

“It’s magnificent, enormous, and impractical.” Echidna sat back down in her seat and slowly picked up her teacup to take a sip.

After a few seconds, he continued, "If you want to sign such a contract with me, then you must prove that you can meet all my expectations."

"Hmm..." Natsuki Subaru withdrew his palm, casually flicked his hands, and his serious expression immediately changed.

He smiled as usual, a little carefree: "Don't be so serious, Echidna. I was just mentioning another possibility for our contract. I can sense that although what you said is good, and your contract is good, the future you expect is definitely not the same as the future I originally expected."

"The perfect ending you're talking about is definitely not the same as the perfect ending I'm hoping for."

"Perhaps so," the white-haired witch replied with an ambiguous smile.

“Echidna, you've probably seen part of another secret I have.” Subaru Natsuki laughed. “Don't you know I'm a human from another world? I possess knowledge and powers completely different from those in our world…”

"That's not enough." The white-haired witch pouted stubbornly, her cute face pouting at Subaru Natsuki. "I'm not trying to be mean, Subaru-kun, but if you were the top student you remember, or a science student at the University of Tokyo, I might think that your knowledge of this other world could be used as a bargaining chip in our negotiations."

"That's something that's not even recorded in my books."

"But unfortunately, Subaru-kun, you're just an ordinary high school student. I don't need to know much about the knowledge you possess."

"Unless you can take me to your world... But unfortunately, summoning magic is not omnipotent. It's impossible to send you back, nor is it possible to bring me to your world."

The white-haired witch showed a regretful expression, spreading her hands out in a helpless manner.

"If it were merely the attraction of returning from death, it wouldn't be enough for me to give you everything, nor would it be enough for you to bind me."

"You'll need to come up with something even more exciting for me, Subaru."

"What if I say yes?" Natsuki Subaru softly revealed his biggest secret, a secret that even Emilia and Rem had never told him.

"Huh??" Echidna's expression suddenly turned serious. She looked at Subaru Natsuki, blinked, and showed an incredulous look.

"If I were to say that there is not only my world, but also endless worlds, endless knowledge, endless powerful humans, weak humans, ordinary humans, silicon-based life forms, ghosts, curses, gods, and the universe."

"Why wouldn't I go there, why wouldn't I explore it?"

"Echidna, would you like to come with me?"

Subaru Natsuki took two steps forward and stood in front of Echidna again, extending his palm.

"I have two abilities."

"It must be the [Return by Death] blessing that the witch of jealousy cast on me."

"The second one is the [Multiverse Chat Group] that someone installed on my phone after I transmigrated to this world."

"This chat group contains beings from all sorts of different worlds and with different identities. Some are monsters, some are demons, some are humans, some are dragons, some are immortals, and some are gods."

"Most importantly, within this [chat group], one can pay a certain price to travel to other worlds."

"If you're willing, I'll do my best to satisfy your thirst for knowledge, whether it's knowledge from other worlds or traveling to other worlds, I can share it with you."

At this point, Natsuki Subaru touched the back of his head somewhat shyly.

"This is the price I paid, so will you come with me, Echidna?"

"I am willing."

Before Natsuki Subaru could finish speaking, the Witch of Greed answered without hesitation.

Her eyes were full of hearts, and her cheeks were flushed with a drunken blush, making her appear even more intoxicated than before.

She seemed to lose control of herself and slowly stretched out her arm.

It wasn't until she was almost touching Natsuki Subaru that she seemed to suddenly realize what was happening, abruptly turning her head, withdrawing her hand, and puffing out her cheeks.

"That's so shameless, Subaru-kun. You actually tried to form a contract with me while I was distracted by what you were saying. Well, although I really wanted to agree to Subaru-kun's suggestion, if I just agreed so directly, I wouldn't be the Witch of Greed." The Witch of Greed turned her head, her pure white eyes fixed on Subaru's eyes.

"Let's play a game, Subaru Natsuki."

"Let's focus on the story of this Sanctuary."

"If Natsuki Subaru can achieve the perfect ending he believes in within two loops, then that will be your victory."

"If you cannot achieve a perfect ending within two cycles, then I will guide you in the third cycle to help you pass this event perfectly. However, by then, it will be considered your failure."

Their eyes met, and this time, neither of them backed down.

"I will definitely find the perfect ending that I believe in."

"You will definitely find the perfect ending by following my guidance."

"I will definitely make you sign a contract with me, and we will overcome the difficulties together. I will try my best to satisfy your desires and give you knowledge."

"I will make you sign a contract with me and guide you through the difficulties ahead. You will give me everything you have, allowing me to access all your knowledge and possibilities."

Their words, seemingly contradictory, carry different beliefs.

Subaru Natsuki and the Witch of Greed clasped their hands together.

"【So】"

"[Contract Established]"

A sudden, lazy voice appeared.

Natsuki Subaru quickly turned his head to look.

A mature woman with purple hair, lying on the ground, slowly yawned as Natsuki Subaru watched her.

"Ok??"

Natsuki Subaru looked puzzled.

"Sehemet, don't come out so casually," the white-haired witch sighed.

"I wasn't planning on coming out just now for that perfect contract scene, sigh... but I can't help but be impressed by your performance, Echidna." The Slothful Witch sighed, speaking languidly.

"Ai~~Ji~~Dona!!!"

A crisp roar accompanied the arrival of a capable figure.

Boom!

The sound of fists hitting the ground reached my ears.

The enormous impact immediately spread throughout the entire grassland.

A circular crater, more than ten meters in diameter, appeared where Echidna had stood, and shockwaves and dust filled the field of vision.

"You did it again!!"

A crisp sound came from the blonde figure after the dust had settled; the enraged witch Minerva was shouting loudly.

"You used deception to force this person into a contract with you, why don't you tell the whole truth?"

"Oh." Echidna reached out a small hand and covered her lips, as if she had just remembered something: "What truth??"

"Of course it's the truth about Dona deceiving Baru-kun." Another cute voice rang out.

A little girl with a natural smile walked up to Subaru Natsuki, casually pulled on his outstretched arm, and as if opening the joints of a doll, completely dislocated Subaru's arm.

"Baru-kun, are you a bad person??"

“Oh, no pain. It seems you’re not a bad person. Bal, I am Typhon, the arrogant witch Typhon.”

Natsuki Subaru looked at the arm in Typhon's hand, said nothing, and quietly took two steps back.

The arrogant witch Typhon didn't look at him anymore; instead, she turned her head and focused her gaze on the white-haired Echidna.

She said softly, "Dona-chan, why don't you tell Bal-kun what you saw in the Book of Wisdom?"

Chapter 41 Arrival

"The Book of Wisdom?"

Natsuki Subaru repeated the words spoken by the arrogant witch Typhon, and immediately realized that the contract he had signed this time might have been somewhat hasty.

Although it's unclear what's going on with these witches who suddenly appeared, their points about Echidna concealing something in the contract are definitely true.

However, he didn't care and just smiled as he touched the back of his head with the one hand he still had.

"Can anyone explain this to me?"

"Dona Dona's Book of Wisdom is [The Voice of the World]." Another small, adorable voice came through.

Natsuki Subaru knew without much thought that the one appearing this time was definitely a witch.

Then, as expected, a little girl, bound inside a strange coffin and blindfolded, appeared before him.

"Daphne is the gluttonous witch Daphne, Subaru-kun."

"I heard that the little rabbit is also involved in your trial this time. As your mother, I am really looking forward to it."

A little girl, blindfolded and dressed in a straitjacket, maneuvered the strange device beneath her and approached Subaru Natsuki.

The device, which looked like steel, bent down, and a little girl covered by a black cloth approached him, exuding an aura that could almost make Subaru Natsuki tremble.

“Subaru, Dona Dona’s Book of Wisdom can hear the voice of the world, also known as the ‘Memory of the World,’ and can know everything about the world’s past and future.”

"Of course, even Dona Dona cannot fully analyze the spells contained in such a book, so she definitely cannot see everything in the past or the future."

"However, I'm certain that Dona Dona has definitely seen that Subaru-kun won't be able to properly accomplish what he expects in his second playthrough. That's why she made this game invitation."

"Huh???" Upon hearing her words, Natsuki Subaru was not as terrified as she had imagined.

Natsuki Subaru stretched out his only arm, touched his chin, and asked in surprise, "Can you know everything about the past and future of the world? Then, are the gospels in Betty's hands and those of the Great Sin Cult members similar to the Book of Wisdom?"

“Of course not.” Echidna suddenly interjected, her voice calm with a slight smile as she spoke: “Betty and another person possess the only two copies of the degraded Gospel. And what the Witch Goddess has is probably an even more degraded version that came from who-knows-where.”

"Oh." Natsuki Subaru nodded knowingly at these words.

Then his gaze shifted to the many witches that had appeared.

The purple and languid witch Sekhmet, the black and serene witch Echidna, the golden and lively witch Minerva, the gray and restrained witch Daphne, the green and natural witch Typhon; and the pink and shy witch Camilla, who appeared out of nowhere, hiding in a corner and trying to minimize her presence.

Under the watchful eyes of all the witches, he scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.

“Echidna hid some things from me, and I hid some things from her as well.”

"For example, my [Multiverse Chat Group] can go to other group members' worlds, so other group members can naturally come to this witch's world."
