'Tell me everything,' Alex didn't know what was happening, he could guess but he knew that his guesses would probably not be accurate.
The system did give him knowledge about worlds and itself, but it was just basic information, the things that he needed to know, but it didn't give him detailed information about these things.
If the system gave him every detail there was in it, then what's the use of having the system spirit, Sophia?
Sophia had the job of helping Alex with 'whatever' he wanted her help with, and she was fully committed to it.
Sophia has always been happy to help Alex, but there were not many things Alex needed her help in, Sophia knew that as well, so she just wanted to help him best in the areas she could.
[Yes.] Sophia replied without a second delay.
[The gate that you had entered was like a pillar of the barrier that was stopping the world from getting stronger.
That gate was there as a test for the people in this world to pass.
It was never going to break, it was always going to stay there just like that so that the people of this world can take their time in clearing it.
It was supposed to be cleared by the group of strongest raiders in this world and if they were able to clear the gate, by any chance, then that means that the world has people strong enough to fight an SS-rank beast, even if it was by forming a group.
That was the indication that the world doesn't need the barrier to stop its improvement.
That's what happened here. The gate was cleared by you, breaking the world's limiting barrier, so now it's expanding, as the larger the planet is, the stronger it is.]
'I see...' Alex nodded inwardly.
While Alex moved through the crowd he was not just listening to Sophia's words, he was also looking around the crowd, observing the expressions and reactions of the people present there.
He could feel some fanatic gazes on him, but he wasn't sure of the reason, so he chose to ignore those gazes after all, the owners of those gazes were nothing but bugs he could squash with pressure alone.
Alex could also see the reactions of the S-ranked raiders that had arrived, almost all of them were on calls, reporting their finds to their higher-ups, while some kept staring at Alex and the group.
As the gates are large, they need some time to completely break down, but once they break down, they merge with the mana in the atmosphere.
The same thing happens if a gate break happens, in that case however, the gate starts merging with the world after the boss is out of the gate.
As the mana in the atmosphere increases, the rank of the gates also increases as the gates need the atmosphere to have enough mana for them to maintain themselves.]
'Ah, I see, so the gates also need mana to stay where they are huh....'
Things finally started making sense to Alex.
[Yes, and now that you have cleared the gate that was supposed to be cleared last, you have pressed the fast-forward button of the world.]
'So doesn't it mean that there are going to be lots of gates emerging here and there for us to clear them, right?' Alex asked with a light smile.
[Yes.]
Sophia's answer only made him smile wider, as he moved into the bus of Crimson Lotus that had been waiting for them.
He didn't care whether his actions might cause more harm to the world than it would do good, all he cared about was profit, and that he was not ashamed about.
He knew that he took away the chance of 20 to 30 S-ranked raiders becoming SS-rankers, but did he care? No.
He knew that he deprived the world of its slow and steady development, but does it bother him? Not in the least.
Still, Alex never said that he was not going to do anything, after all, even if he didn't do anything, he knew Alice and Ann would, and he didn't want them to come in harm's way.
So, he is going to help the world a little, even if it is just for the people he cares about.
