Chapter 111 The Game of Possibilities: Merging Universes

“A portion of your game universe and your soul have deepened their connection, and your merged universe will likely undergo another fusion soon,” Elena said.

"This..." Xing thought about the games she had played that could respond to her soul link...

"What would the universes look like after they merge?" Xing tried to imagine.

“It won’t be too big. After all, many game universes are just universes in name only. Apart from those with a proper universe worldview, the rest are small universes, ranging from as small as a galaxy to as small as a galaxy,” Elena replied.

"The Milky Way, huh? That's not bad. Hopefully, the universe won't expand too much in the end," Xing said after thinking for a moment.

"So, which universes have deepened the soul connection?"

"Let me see... Do you have 'Azur Lane,' 'Zero Zone,' 'Dust White Zone,' and 'Endless Lagrange'?" Elena's tone suddenly became full of confusion as she spoke.

"Lagrange... a game with a small memory footprint where you raise various spaceships. I don't remember playing it in a long time. How did it connect to my account?" Xing asked after realizing what game it was.

"Who knows? I took a look too. There's nothing in that game world except for those civilian ships you have. You play it every month or two and then uninstall it for over a year. God knows how it got connected to you." Elena also expressed her incomprehension.

"Never mind, how big is that world over there?" Xing asked.

“A miniature universe on the scale of a galaxy,” Elena responded.

"It looks like I'll have to take my fleet and have a heart-to-heart talk with the four major corporations and pirates of that small world," Xing said, as if struck by a sudden thought.

"Whatever makes you happy. After all, that little world belongs to you. As long as you don't ruin it, you can handle it however you want," Elena said.

"Hmm, Azur Lane, Zone Zero and Dust White Forbidden Zone...? I remember Zone Zero was only recently released and I didn't play it for more than a few days. How come I'm suddenly connected?" Xing asked, puzzled.

"Is it because you play miHoYo games? After all, you've already integrated three MiHoYo universes here," Elena replied.

“Okay, that works too. But what about Azur Lane and the Dust White Forbidden Zone? Those girls all like me when I was a man. How will we handle it when we meet? Not to mention I’ve already married six girls in Azur Lane,” Xing asked.

"Good idea. Either I can help you change those girls' feelings for you to those of family members and juniors who are overly dependent on you, so that the relationship between you is full of familial affection but not romantic love, and the ship girls who get married can also have their settings changed."

“Either you go and have lesbian relationships with those girls,” Elena said.

"...Let's talk about it when the universe is about to merge." Xing said, indicating that he needed to think about it.

“Okay, do it your way. Then you’ll have to choose between ordinary family members or a lesbian relationship with them,” Elena said with a shrug.

[Time Traveler Gathering Place] Chat Group

Star (Galactic Empire): Friends, I have a question about the game here. How many people in the group have had their genders swapped?

Jian Li (Ziyad Empire): That's a good question. Don't ask such random questions next time.

Euphemia Testarossa (Venus Empire): What can I possibly have? I'm just a...

Long Aotian (Aotian Empire): I haven't changed much, but if I really had to say something, I'd probably be a crossdresser?

Arialaya Fidel (Pan-Interstellar Alliance): I haven't changed. I was a girl before I transmigrated, and I still look like a girl when I smile.

Lin Yiyi (Interstellar Republic): Gender swap? Count me in!

Lin Ye (Wind String Kingdom): A man, unchanged.

Letia Alf (Rhine Empire): Also a transmigrator with a gender swap.

Alicia Harris (Dorlivian Empire): I'm also gender-swapped, and it was due to a god's twisted sense of humor that I ended up somewhere between a teenage girl and a loli, and will never grow up.

Lin Ye (Wind String Kingdom): Goodness, quite a few group members have gender-swapped identities.

Star (Galactic Empire): Who has played Azur Lane?

Euphemia Testarossa (Venus Empire): I've played it, so what?

Alicia Harris (Dorlivian Empire): I've played it too. As for the topic of stars... Has your ship girl world been lit up?

Star (Galactic Empire): Hmm, I'm thinking about how to solve the problems with these girls and my current state.

Star (Galactic Empire): After all... I've married six girls.

Alicia Harris (Dorlivian Empire): Only six? I've married everyone except those loli ship girls!

Lin Ye (Windstring Kingdom): Holy crap, is this Lord of the Rings?

Euphemia Testarossa (Venus Empire): Is Hoshino thinking about whether the relationship with the ship girls is centered around family or directly yuri?

Star (Galactic Empire): Hmm

Letia Alf (Rhine Empire): Just follow your own heart. Whether it's the family option or the yuri option, just choose what's truly in your heart.

Euphemia Testarossa (Venus Empire): For example, me. I've linked with my own Azur Lane world, and now I'm doing yuri fanservice with the girls every day, which isn't a big deal. It's just a matter of two people versus a group.

Alicia Harris (Dolleaven Empire): I chose family.

Lin Ye (Wind String Kingdom): I can only say that the idea of ​​gender-swapped brothers is nonsense~ Unlike me, I directly opened up a harem.

Arilaya Fidel (Pan-Interstellar Alliance): Just follow your heart, and the choices you make after meeting the girls are in your hands.

Star (Galactic Empire): ...I understand.

Euphemia Testarossa (Venus Empire): This time, several games are linked?

Star (Galactic Empire): The other two are Dust White Forbidden Zone and Lagrange of Pig Farm.

Lin Ye (Windstring Kingdom): Endless Lagrange? My suggestion is to send a fleet to wipe out those four major corporations and all other forces in the world, and take away the complete ship blueprints belonging to the Holy Star Empire.

Alicia Harris (Dolleaven Empire): Agreed. I've been annoyed with the Big Four for a long time, but unfortunately, the game's lore makes us just small, useless pioneers in their hands.

Euphemia Testarossa (Venus Empire): Then there's the Dust White Forbidden Zone... This world is indeed a bit troublesome, but it's not a big problem. If yuri doesn't work, just have your system modify their perceptions to make them extremely clingy family members.

Euphemia Testarossa (Venus Empire): Conversely

Alicia Harris (Dorlivian Empire): Again, it's all your own choice.

Star (Galactic Empire): Okay, I'll think about this carefully.

What do you think the girls from these two worlds should choose?

1. Let the system step in and become a family that both parties rely on.

2. The main characters and the girls are yuri (lesbian)
