That wasn't a very accurate or clear feeling. After all, it had been completely blinded by hatred for humanity because it had been pulled into this world for some reason. Naturally, it didn't retain any intuition to distinguish "danger." What really made it feel abnormal was just its instinct.
"Beast instinct?"
Talking to himself, the second line fell vertically into the space where the previous "line" had been drawn.
At the bottom of the sea, the otherworldly deity still didn't know where this strange feeling came from, but it still decided to take action.
Moving its massive body, it covered hundreds of meters in just one step. With such a wide range of movement, touching the "edge" was quite easy.
“aaaaaaa——————”
Ignoring the struggles below, the most important moment for Lin Yi had arrived.
In the depths of the pupil, which had shrunk to its extreme, a series of intersecting "lines" were reflected in the empty space in front of it. These lines interlocked and formed a closed hexahedron. At the center of this hexahedron, an "alien object" that looked like it was pieced together from countless wild beasts was constantly crashing against the unseen "barriers" around it.
"Length, width, and..."
"high."
Ragnarok: Chapter 424 Authority: The Creator God
Dividing a space in a stable environment is no easy task. Lin Yi, who had completed this process more than once with the help of the main god, naively thought it was just a "process" that could be easily completed by following the steps. However, when he actually started to control it independently, he realized how "anti-human" this seemingly simple process was.
From air density to temperature contrast on both sides of the spatial barrier, from wind speed changes to the distortion and refraction of light... almost every concept related to the outside world must be separated at the same moment the spatial division takes place; otherwise, what is ultimately separated will not be a "space," but a "ruin."
Admittedly, for the gods of this other world, there is no difference between a space and ruins; they can both survive regardless of the harsh environment. However, the sturdiness of a complete, independent space and a broken, ruined space are two different concepts. If the former is a concrete wall, then the latter is just a piece of scrap paper. It is obvious even to a fool that a piece of scrap paper that can be torn apart even by a slightly stronger human cannot withstand Tiamat's impact.
To complete this independent space, Lin Yi needed a "space," not a "ruin."
The length is defined by a single "line" - 1000m
The width is formed by a "line" - 1000m
Supporting a height of 1000m with a single "line"
Finally, connect these three "lines" together—
The fingertip that had just touched the ground suddenly shattered, and what splattered was not blood or chunks of flesh, but tiny specks of light like fireflies.
With a slight frown, he switched to another finger and continued the "process".
A single "line" can only be a line, no matter how long it is. But when two "lines" intersect, the meaning is completely different. And what will be born if we add a third line that symbolizes the concept of "height" on top of these two lines?
On the sea surface, tiny specks of light continuously broke and scattered.
At the bottom of the sea, a 1000m x 1000m x 1000m independent space has been fully formed.
On the surface, it appears no different from the outside world, filled with countless black silt. However, upon closer inspection, one can discover that the "inside" is completely different from the "outside".
The silt flowing out from the outside of the "barrier" will flow directly out from the other side, while the silt flowing in from the inside will flow back after colliding with the "barrier". The two sides that seem to be in contact are actually separated by something that is farther away than any "distance".
A single "line" is meaningless, two "lines" form the scene we see, and three "lines" create an independent space. Perhaps it is too fragile and small compared to the concept of the world, but in essence, even a newly born "space" possesses a possibility.
—The possibility of evolving into the world.
Thus, something was born that existed between two independent spaces, seemingly non-existent, but in reality more distant than any "distance".
"World barriers."
Lowering his almost transparent palm, looking at Tiamat who was completely isolated in "another world," he felt not a sense of accomplishment or satisfaction, but only a faint sense of bewilderment.
The world and space are no different—this is a perception derived from the essence of being.
Using this part of their understanding, the information body accomplished something completely unexpected, without even realizing it...
"Is this what 'creating the world' means?"
Even though it's a world that's only 1000m long, wide, and high, and has no value inside except for a "creature" that wants to destroy the world itself, it is indeed a world, and the "prototype" of every world that Lin Yi has ever reached.
The confusion lasted only a few seconds before being suppressed by a colder, more rational mind.
Taking a deep breath, and using the authority of the "Creator," I directly crossed the "world barrier" and stepped into this world, which was only 1000m x 1000m x 1000m in size.
Almost as soon as he stepped in, he inserted the illusory image of the Immortal Executioner into Tiamat's body. This time, the outcome was without any suspense. After being pulled from an Earth world with 80 billion humans into a world with only one life form, this god from another world, who was originally almost invincible, lost all his powerful support.
In this "world", it has only one life.
The body of the otherworldly deity wailed and rapidly disintegrated, leaving only a few "powers" that shimmered with strange light. Since Lin Yi was the only individual in this world capable of receiving these powers, they naturally drew near to him.
After hesitating for a moment, seeing his own disintegrating body, he still reached out and accepted these "powers".
Power: Sea of Life
The powers representing "proliferation" and "infection" are only slightly stronger when used individually, but when combined, they can create a terrifying effect equivalent to "erosion." When used without regard to cost, they can erode the entire surface of the Earth in seven days, hence the name "Seven-Day World."
Power: Beast
It can also be called a power "over humanity." It has a restraining effect on everything related to the concept of humanity. Its effect is not limited to the holder of the power; it can also affect all related things "created" by the holder of the power.
Power: Creator God
The supreme god who created the world possesses the ability to connect with the concepts of all creation.
Unless the death of the lord is to kill all concepts in the world that are associated with creation, the holder of power will be an "absolute" being—that is, unable to be killed in any form.
Sensing the information of the last power, Lin Yi felt a strange sense of bitterness.
"It looks very good and powerful on the surface, but in reality it's just so-so."
Admittedly, regardless of how effective this power might be in other worlds, the ability to "never die before all related concepts die" is extremely powerful, because it means you will have countless chances. However, the problem is that this ability is completely useless to Lin Yi, who has always been fighting on the sidelines.
Even Tiamat, who is connected to eight billion humans, could be trapped to death in a 1000m-sided cube-shaped spirit world. If it were Lin Yi, who needs to rush into other worlds at any time, he probably wouldn't even need to be trapped. He could just slap him down and he would die—dead is dead, clean and simple.
In this unfamiliar world, nothing exists that is connected to the individual "Lin Yi".
Ragnarok: Chapter 425, Location Four
When Lin Yi found Pandora, the body that controlled it had reverted to its original owner. However, Alaya, being a collection of human consciousness, was obviously not kind enough to clean up the mess for a "non-human," so when Lin Yi found it, the native deity was in extremely bad condition.
"Are you still alive?"
Pandora did not respond, which can be interpreted as her being unable to respond.
After reviewing his brief encounter with it, he remained silent for a long time: "I have a way to keep you alive... Perhaps 'live' isn't the right word for your form, but it can at least free you from this impending disappearance. However, you'll have to pay some other price in exchange."
"No reply means you accept it."
Drawing upon a small portion of information from the main god within the information body, it was directly injected into the critically injured and dying deity before them. A mechanical voice suddenly rang out, and the next moment, this deity born of their homeland vanished without a trace.
[Reincarnator qualification verification in progress... Meets usage criteria, number confirmed]
After completing the almost blatant act of "stealing" Tiamat, the other world consciousness that had been watching from the sidelines was clearly unhappy. Even the weather, which had returned to normal after Tiamat's disappearance, showed signs of becoming gloomy again. However, reason quickly prevailed.
"Compared to a creation that's almost exhausted, isn't my own existence more important?"
Step through the opened portal and leave this battlefield that has already ended.
----------segmentation----------
The crisis of world destruction appeared when no one was aware of it, and disappeared when no one noticed it.
Aside from those near the Mediterranean who witnessed or experienced the process firsthand, for the vast majority of people in the world, the day that just passed was no different from any other ordinary day.
In the mystical world, several "unfortunate" god-slayers who were drawn into the fray felt a strange sense of something connected to them leaving afterward. Frustrated by their inability to understand what this feeling meant, they ultimately let it go. Soon, they had no time to dwell on this strange sensation; another, more serious problem confronted them once again.
"First the Indian Ocean, then the Sahara Desert, then the Mediterranean... His actions were completely unpredictable, but without exception they all caused enormous damage and impact on the local areas."
"Based on the overwhelming strength displayed by the opponent, it can be inferred that they possess abilities such as 'high-speed movement' or 'spatial teleportation,' making it impossible to detect their actions in advance and take effective preventative measures."
"In the end, we still have no choice but to stop this terrible calamity through fighting... In this regard, does Your Excellency have any suggestions?"
The god-slayer, whose entire body was pitch black as if made of obsidian, said in a cold tone: "I've said it before, I won't take the initiative to make a move unless I'm absolutely certain of victory."
Disappointment flashed in his eyes. After all, although there were three Godslayers present, the one who had shown the strongest combat power so far was this Godslayer known as the "King of Magic Bullets" and the "King of the Underworld".
That alone was not enough to convince the magician: "Then, Mrs. Elsa, what is your opinion?"
"my words……"
With a troubled expression, the god-slayer avoided their expectant gazes and said, "I want to help the innocent people in the Mediterranean first."
Although the events took place within the Mediterranean Sea, the devastation caused by the monsters inevitably spread to some coastal cities, and Lady Aisha was the most suitable person to handle the aftermath.
The magicians, who disliked fighting to begin with, had nothing to say about this god-slaying magician. Even if they did, they couldn't say it. After all, in a situation where anyone could become the next victim, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't need Lady Elsa's help at some point. To raise objections now would be pointless and suicidal.
After failing to defeat two god-slayers in succession, the magician could only place his last hope on Kusanagi Godou—a newly born god-slayer who was less than a month old.
"Lord Moto..."
Faced with the magician's pleading gaze, Kusanagi Godou hesitated greatly.
Admittedly, the fact that two god-slayers had "avoided battle" in succession made the hot-blooded youth quite dissatisfied, but it also proved the strength of their opponents in another way. If they hadn't been completely outmatched, what wouldn't the three god-slayers have dared to try?
Kusanagi Godou, who has already encountered the "Unknown Godslayer" four times, is probably the most qualified to speak on this point. Based on this understanding, even a hot-blooded young man feels somewhat disheartened: fighting a difficult battle and fighting a battle where you are sure to die are two completely different concepts, especially when your death cannot change anything at all.
The fall of the two god-slayers has already proven this point. Even if a god-slayer fights to the death, he cannot play the slightest role. So what can he really do by himself?
Amidst the intense turmoil, Kusanagi Godou made his own decision.
"I--"
"We've received word that he's in Japan!"
The sudden intrusion interrupted Kusanagi Godou's speech, and also caused his already troubled mind to go blank.
"The current task force has mobilized all its members, and they will stop this 'disaster' from entering the country, no matter the cost."
"The Official History Compilation Committee... Yuri!"

[Information incompleteness rate: 58.11%, repair speed: 0.0014%/s]
"...It seems that it cannot be repaired in my lifetime."
Looking at his still somewhat illusory body, Lin Yi sighed, but he didn't necessarily have to wait for this body to be fully repaired before continuing to summon the fourth otherworldly god.
Regardless of one's own judgment, neither the "main god" nor the "original body" would allow this situation to occur. At that time, the arrogant one might be the third information entity to descend and replace him, ignoring other unfavorable situations and continuing to complete the mission.
"The more incomplete something is, the more emotional it seems; the more complete something is, the more rational it seems. I just don't know whether this is 'evolution' or 'regression'."
Ragnarok: Chapter 426 The Villain's Spiritual Awakening
Even after absorbing a large amount of power from otherworldly gods, the information lost by the information body itself cannot be fully replenished by these things. However, as an information body, Lin Yi's position dictates that he cannot stop here. In the end, the only option he can choose is this compromise.
Japan is a unique region with the largest pantheon in its mythological system.
From the sun and moon hanging in the sky to the grasshoppers and frogs jumping on the ground, people on this land have "deified" or "deified" almost everything they can see, to the point that this land, which is less than one-tenth the size of the world, has more than half the number of "gods" in the world... if those things that ordinary people can easily step on and kill are also considered gods.
Leaving aside other pantheons, the pantheon of this land alone—centered around Takamagahara—is truly bizarre. In other pantheons, becoming a god requires going through countless trials and tribulations, and only after surviving a near-death experience does one have a sliver of a chance. But here, even an umbrella discarded by its owner can acquire basic "divinity" after decades of accumulation.
In such a state, the number of gods cannot be too small.
However, this state of "everything is a god" has also led to a situation where the gods in this pantheon are generally weak.
The general principle is similar to this medium-active world. With a limited total amount of active energy, the fewer people who can distribute it, the stronger they will be. That's why the seven god-slayers have an almost overwhelming advantage in combat power over magicians. However, this pantheon adopts a method of spreading the even more limited active energy over a large area, so that in the end, the total number of people who obtained active energy reached as many as eight million...
Lin Yi, who had always built the God Space around himself, could not understand this behavior at all. Did it want to overwhelm other beings with sheer numbers when they went to war?
"However, this situation is just right."
As such a bizarre pantheon, summoning otherworldly deities on this land will inevitably be subject to many interferences—there are too many to eliminate completely, but at the same time, the otherworldly deities summoned will definitely not be very powerful. At least there will be no creator gods of Tiamat's caliber, let alone disgusting powers like the "Sea of Life" or "Creator God".
"Speaking of which, in my current state, if I were to face a similar opponent again, I'd probably burn this body to ashes."
With a wicked sense of humor, Lin Yi wondered what would happen if his original body entered this world after he "died." As he prepared for the summoning ritual, he suddenly spoke up: "If you stand so far away, you won't be able to see what's going to happen later."
"...Leave this land, Demon King. Your schemes will not succeed here."
"Yes, it's not that I need to stop, it's just that I need to leave."
Looking at the figure appearing amidst various Yin-Yang spells, Lin Yi chuckled and said, "Can I take that to mean that you can ignore me as long as I'm not here?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
In the midst of this extremely awkward silence, a young girl couldn't help but shout, "Stop making excuses, Demon King! All your actions are destroying this world, and neither the other magicians nor we will let you off so easily!"
With the girl's rebuke, the surrounding Onmyoji all showed expressions of shame, abandoning their wavering attitudes: "That's right, Demon King, even at the cost of our lives, we will—"
