Crossover Anime: Starting by Creating Delta of Fate, the Group Members Went Wild

Finally, he could make plans for the next step.

He pondered for a moment.

True-False Dao Fruit, and something that could resonate with most people… What should he make?

Why not ask the all-powerful group members?

Lin Zhen opened the Chat Group system he had handcrafted.

He had created it before attaining Dao Fruit, but before that, he had not dared activate it lightly.

Now, he could.

Chat Group, activate!

Group Name: Director Lin and His Friends (visible only to yourself)

Group members invited.

Not a NEET joined the Chat Group.

Genius Beautiful Girl joined the Chat Group.

Shinigami Elementary School Student joined the Chat Group.

Academic School Talented Woman joined the Chat Group.

Self-Destruct Truck joined the Chat Group.

Customer Service Xiang joined the Chat Group.

Teacher Tony joined the Chat Group.

Delta of Fate!

Not a NEET: "What is this… Have I been gaming all night for several days and started hallucinating?"

Academic School Talented Woman: "An illusion? No, this is… Black Magic?! Abusing it is taboo."

Customer Service Xiang: "I… did getting hit by a beer can give me hallucinations?"

Uncle Tony: "Who are you calling uncle?! Don’t let me find out who pulled this prank! Jarvis, search for these keywords immediately!"

Self-Destruct Truck: "…Yahallo."

Lin Zhen waited for a while. The remaining two graduate student workhorses… no, group members, did not speak.

They were probably the more wary types.

He still did not know who Genius Beautiful Girl was, while Shinigami Elementary School Student could only possibly be Conan.

Going by the order of those who had spoken, they should be Kazuma Satou, the little Liu Bang from Konosuba.

Marcille, the Black Magic researcher from Dungeon Meshi.

Sakiko Toyokawa, who wanted to become a god and had already drifted far from humanity.

The classic playboy, Iron Man Tony Stark.

And Hachiman Hikigaya, the utterly ordinary high school student who talked like Totsuka.

Lin Zhen set his nickname and first explained the situation.

Dao Qitian (Group Owner): "This is a little experiment of mine."

Dao Qitian: "This group is a multiverse chat group. Everyone comes from a different world, and as long as we communicate amicably, it should have no negative impact on your lives."

Dao Qitian: "Of course, if you want to leave, you can directly click Leave Group in the upper-left corner."

Kazuma Satou: "Another world?! I want to transmigrate! Please, let me start my life over!"

Marcille: "A multiverse? You… aren’t some warp creature trying to trick us, are you?"

Genius Beautiful Girl: "Parallel world theory? These names sound rather strange, and some of these terms don’t seem like things that could exist in the real world. A multiverse… Could you truly be from completely separate worlds?"

Dao Qitian: "You’re Kurisu Makise, right?"

Kurisu Makise: "How do you know my name?"

Dao Qitian: "Just a coincidence."

Conan: "That’s not scientific!"

Tony: "F*ck! Jarvis hasn’t found any information on you at all. What the hell are you?"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "My name got displayed?! Holy shit, I got doxxed!"

Dao Qitian: "All right, I only pulled you into the group because I wanted to ask a question."

Marcille: "For an existence like you, I don’t think we can be of much help."

Dungeon Meshi world.

Laios looked at the mage beside him. She had been sitting on a rock in a daze, and she was even drooling.

"What’s wrong, Marcille?"

"Uh… nothing."

Marcille shook her head and wiped away her drool without drawing attention. She still did not know whether this was some trial brought about by the dungeon.

Just now, she had tried to comprehend the existence of this thing, only for her brain to overload. The drooling and babbling earlier had been because of that.

Marcille could not reveal the existence of this thing.

If it had a benign influence, that would be one thing. If it was malign, it would be utterly terrifying.

This group owner named "Dao Qitian," whether he was some kind of warp creature or not, was definitely an existence beyond the scope of ordinary magical creatures.

Dao Qitian: "Mm, it’s not that serious. I just wanted to ask whether there’s any way to expand one’s influence."

Just as she thought.

A chill ran down Marcille’s back. This existence really did want to expand his influence in order to devour or control the entire world.

Customer Service Xiang: "Influence… I don’t really want to bring this up, but how about forming a band?"

Dao Qitian: "A band? Interesting, but not enough. Mainly because no one can bear listening to me speak, let alone listen to music I perform. Everyone’s brains would probably explode."

Not a NEET: "Tone-deaf, huh? Haha, me too. Don’t worry, let me think. I’ll help you come up with an idea."

Genius Beautiful Girl: "How about writing a paper? I think your research is generation-spanning… world-spanning, even."

Dao Qitian: "Probably no one would be able to understand it."

Genius Beautiful Girl: "You won’t know unless you try. If you’re really willing to write it, I’ll be the first to read it."

Dao Qitian: "Sure. I’ll write it when I have time, then post it in the group once I’m done."

Dao Qitian: "But that’s still too slow. Same question: is there a way to rapidly increase influence on a large scale?"

Academic School Talented Woman: "…"

Marcille could not laugh. Those people making lighthearted jokes had no idea what they were asking for.

This warp creature called "Dao Qitian" already carried a unique "influence" in his speech and actions, which was why ordinary people could not easily perceive or comprehend him.

If not for his "kind" communication and the fact that he had not forcibly imposed his influence, their heads would have exploded the moment they communicated with such an existence.

That was right. When he said their brains would explode, it was not an exaggerated figure of speech. There was a very high chance… that he had been stating a fact.

Marcille did not dare say anything either. At the end of the day, she was merely an academically inclined mage.

Although she had researched Black Magic, she was still far too powerless before an existence like this.

At most, she could quietly refrain from speaking, make a few irrelevant remarks, and protect herself as much as possible.

Self-Destruct Truck: "How about doing something big and making major headlines?"

Dao Qitian: "Mm, that could work, but I actually don’t like showing my face. Think about it—being famous is a hassle for academic researchers."

Self-Destruct Truck: "…No problem. Um, then I’m out of ideas."

Not a NEET: "There is a way to avoid showing your face, expand your influence, and make a huge splash."

Dao Qitian: "Oh?"

Lin Zhen gave an interested sound. As expected of the man known as the king of ideas in another world, though some of his ideas were crooked ones.

Dao Qitian: "Let’s hear it."

Kazuma Satou: "Why not make a game? Make something fun that everyone can play. If there are some tangible rewards too, it’ll be even easier to expand your influence."

Oh?

Lin Zhen slowly sat up, becoming a little more serious. This suggestion was interesting.

Make a game?

He could certainly do that, but to be honest, he had not played games in many years. He did not know what genres were more likely to become popular or appeal to people.

Before transmigrating, he had played a game called Delta Force: Hawk Ops for a while.

But he had a feeling it might not adapt well here.

Dao Qitian: "I can make that sort of game, but what genre should it be? What do you think of a battle royale?"

Not a NEET: "Battle royale? What kind of game is that? It isn’t a horror game, is it?"

Dao Qitian: "It’s a game where everyone is placed in a limited area to scout, explore, fight, and extract, all to compete for rare supplies."

Not a NEET: "Sounds kind of interesting. Let me know when it’s out. I’m definitely in."

Dao Qitian: "I’ve already made it. Want to help me test it?"

Not a NEET: "That fast? No problem. Let me get home first—I just bought a game and got on the bus."

Dao Qitian: "My game is a virtual reality game with 100% realism. While playing, time will not pass on the level of consciousness, so there’s no need to worry about safety."

Livestream Truck: "…Seriously? I want to play too."

Not a NEET: "Then what are we waiting for? Please send me a copy! I never thought I’d get to play a full-dive holographic game in my lifetime!"

Dao Qitian: "Does anyone else want to play?"

Dao Qitian: "If not, I’ll send it to you two first."

A bone-deep chill filled Marcille.

He could actually describe a battle royale, where everyone had to slaughter one another for treasure, as a game.

This existence… was definitely aligned with chaos.

Kazuma Satou: "I finished playing. So it’s gunfights, shooting, and looting. It does feel pretty good after playing for a while. It’s fun, but… it feels like something’s still missing."

Hachiman Hikigaya: "Yeah, I originally thought it was pretty good, but now that Kazuma said it, I also feel like something is off."

Kazuma Satou: "Right, if we can communicate across different worlds… shouldn’t there be elements like magic and swords?"

Dao Qitian: "Magic and swords…? Wait."

Lin Zhen thought of how to magically modify this game!

The answer was actually… the Holy Grail War!

He closed his eyes as inspiration continuously surged forth. A miniature virtual world appeared in his open palm, and he built it as he pleased.

Very soon, he completed the preliminary magical modifications.

Lin Zhen closed his eyes and reviewed it all in an instant, then nodded with slight satisfaction.

However, it was no longer suitable to keep the old name. Better to change it.

Fate… destiny.

He would call it "Delta of Fate"!

Dao Qitian: "The initial modifications are complete. Consider it the ultimate closed beta version. Does anyone want to play?"

Not a NEET: "Me, me!"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "Count me in."

Uncle Tony: "Hmph, it’s definitely fake. You’re all shills. Even I can’t make a holographic virtual game."

Genius Beautiful Girl: "I’d like to try it too. Is that okay?"
