Main God Creation Rules

"Then you can try explaining it to it; maybe you can convince it."

Pandora promptly shut her mouth. With no outlet for her anger, she could only launch increasingly fierce attacks on the surrounding monsters. After a while...

"...Haven't you thought of a solution yet?"

Twenty minutes later, Pandora finally reached her limit. She dodged several attacks from magical beasts and retreated behind Lin Yi. Just as she was about to say something, she witnessed a scene that left her speechless—

With a flick of the fingertip, several menacing monsters were instantly broken into several parts in mid-air, flying a distance due to inertia before rapidly falling down.

"You, you—why aren't you 'restrained'?!"

"Why was it restrained?"

"But you clearly are—"

Pandora paused halfway through her speech, glancing at the deity from the native pantheon. Lin Yi remained noncommittal: "Did I say I was?"

The species that is "human" is a thing of the past.

Since they are not human, they naturally won't be affected by this twisted desire for "revenge against humanity." The problem is...

"Too many."

The methods to deal with the "disobedient god" lurking five thousand meters below the sea have been thought of, but the endless stream of deformed creatures scattered across the sea, on the surface, and underwater is quite troublesome. After all, according to Lin Yi's next move, to get rid of this "creator god" requires calculations in an absolutely precise environment. If one of them jumps out midway, it will undoubtedly cause huge interference.

"It would be much simpler if we could let it walk out on its own."

That's what they say, but unless it doesn't want to live anymore, it doesn't seem like it would willingly move its old nest down there.

Now that things have come to this, there aren't many options left.

"...Let's give it a try, though."

He spread his five fingers and pointed them at the horde of beasts surging below: "Wind."

A sudden hurricane stood upright between the sky and the sea. Even with its hardest shell and sharpest claws, the sheer mass of these magical beasts born from the "Sea of ​​Life" meant they couldn't withstand the hurricane's blockade. However, the "Disobedient God," who had also realized the problem, quickly reacted.

With a deep roar, a whale-like creature emerged from the sea filled with black mud. However, unlike the docile whales of the ocean, this "whale" was covered with barbs and bone spikes. Its aggressive and ferocious appearance completely disregarded the rules of gravity as it floated into the sky and crashed headfirst into the hurricane.

"It's not about using air, it's about using magic."

Capturing the composition of this "whale," Lin Yi calmly pronounced the second "syllable": "fire."

Wind helps the fire.

The hurricane, originally intended to block the airspace, ignited a raging fire, instantly increasing its destructive power more than tenfold. A large number of magical beasts were burned to ashes in the thousands of degrees of heat. Even the giant "whale" could not escape, and with a long wail, it crashed into the sea along with the "fire tornado".

—But that's all there is to it.

Neither the raging hurricanes nor the intense heat could tear through the 5,000-meter-thick layer of "black mud," and naturally, it could not pose any real threat to Tiamat hiding beneath it.

But after the fiery tornado that stretched straight to the sky gradually disappeared, the ocean was still the same ocean, and only the lingering heat in the air made people realize that it was not an illusion.

Seeing this scene, even though she had expected it, Pandora still couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

"How is this possible... Can't this even penetrate this ocean...?"

Unlike the distraught Pandora, Lin Yi showed a surprised expression: "The density is about seven times that of water... lower than expected."

"God, amplify."

[Instructions confirmed, Phase 1 of increase]

The surface of his right hand, outstretched towards the sea, gradually stiffened. Amidst the clicking sounds of gears turning, deep red particles continuously condensed towards his palm.

[Output 20%, graviton emission device ready]

His eyes narrowed slightly: "Radiation."

On this land ravaged by various monsters, a crimson ray less than five centimeters in diameter pierced through two kilometers of space and entered this boundless black ocean. Silently, from the point where the ray entered, the surrounding black sludge suddenly "receded"—or rather, it was an illusion created by the instantaneous decomposition of a large amount of matter compared to its surroundings.

Within 0.1 seconds, Lin Yi forcibly interrupted the output of gravity particles, completely disregarding his scalding right hand, and walked straight through the "passage" that stood in the sea of ​​silt, which was five kilometers long. Almost at the same time that his free left hand reached the end of the passage, he formed five complete spiritual structures.

As they overlapped and merged, an illusory, ancient sword blade emerged in the center, with two characters vaguely engraved on it.

Lüling (22348) Xia Si - Zhu Xian.

Facing the "Disobedient God" exposed before him, Lin Yi thrust his sword into its chest with a backhand motion.

Three shifts

Ragnarok: Chapter 422 Eight Billion Lives

Intuitively, it should have been "killed"... But from a realistic point of view, this disobedient god, who had just taken a "death blow," was still full of energy and even had the strength to observe this stranger.

"..."

"..."

“aaaaa——”

Just as the surrounding black mud was about to engulf him, Lin Yi took a step back and moved directly above the sea surface. After a while, he caught a similar aura from the violently churning muddy sea below.

"Pandora."

"Eh...is that right?"

Still not quite sure what was going on, the goddess responded instinctively, but the question she heard from Lin Yi afterwards left her even more confused.

"Is Tiamat unkillable?"

"what?"

Recalling what had just happened in that brief moment, Lin Yi frowned: "Is there a setting similar to being unable to be killed by concepts like 'sword' or 'energy'?"

"What kind of settings are these? Do you think this is a game?"

After complaining, this "helper" still honestly played his only role: "This power does not exist, and even if it did, it would not be possessed by Tiamat. After all, if she had similar powers, she would not have been banished by her 'children,' the gods of Mesopotamian mythology."

The doubts did not disappear; on the contrary, they became even more perplexing as the answer was revealed. To make sure he wasn't mistaken, Lin Yi even had the main god recalculate the energy contained in the "Zhu Xian" afterimage that had just been projected.

“It shouldn’t be like this.”

No matter the size, density, defense, or position of the opponent, it is impossible for that attack to be completely ineffective. If it had only been injured but not killed, that would have been fine. The problem is that Tiamat was completely unharmed by the attack that condensed 20% of the information body's energy. In fact, after regaining its senses, it was able to counterattack with its strongest power: it did not look like it had been attacked at all.

"...Change your way of thinking."

Several spatial rifts that opened in mid-air easily tore the deformed creature that tried to approach into pieces. Lin Yi, who was constantly watching the sea below, tried to change his thinking: "It's not that I didn't 'kill' it, but that I successfully 'killed' it. It's just that the existence of a certain reason prevented it from 'dying' like that."

The way to prove this conjecture is simple: "kill" it again.

He spread out his right hand, still radiating intense heat, palm facing downwards: "Zeng Qi: Wa》③ Zero% Four Jiu ⑺3 Shi 〡〇〧? Fu"

[Command confirmed, Phase 1 boost, output 20%, graviton emission device ready.]

A beam of light composed of deep red particles shot out once more, and as the "channel" reformed, Lin Yi, who had interrupted the output of gravitons, also disappeared.

However, this time the situation is different from the last time.

Perhaps still haunted by the memory of being "attacked," Lin Yi, who once again ventured deep into the depths of the sea of ​​life, was no longer confronted by an unresponsive, disobedient god, but by a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth, stretched to its limit.

Facing the mouth that could easily swallow more than a dozen of him whole, Lin Yi fell into it without resistance. Almost the instant Tiamat closed its mouth, two faint lights appeared in the pitch-black space where the "exit" had been sealed.

A pale blue glow.

With the information being consumed and burned by the information body, several "points" were clearly captured under the perspective of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. After pulling out a Noble Phantasm that had been stored there at some unknown time from the subspace, the remaining few seconds of vision were used to insert into it.

— Detonate.

When it returned to the sea surface via spatial teleportation, the part of the information representing the "visual" aspect of the information body had just burned out.

"Relying solely on this body is still somewhat insufficient."

Reluctantly activating the remaining 20% ​​of energy to repair the lost "vision," Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to the reaction beneath the sea this time.

Or rather, we already knew how Tiamat would react if she were "dead" on the other side.

So Lin Yi turned to Pandora—the "representative" of this world's will: "It cannot be completely killed, at least not on this planet."

"For some reason I was able to observe its concept of 'death,' but at the end of the process of 'killing,' the concept of 'death,' which should have belonged only to itself, expanded by billions of times in an instant."

He paused briefly, giving the goddess, or rather the world's will watching over this place, a little time to process and understand: "In other words, unless all humanity on this planet is wiped out, it is destined to be immortal here."

"—!"

This explanation was simple and easy to understand, yet it seemed all the more cruel. Without paying too much attention to Pandora's reaction, Lin Yi continued to explain: "I just 'killed' it twice, but in terms of the result, it should have been replaced by the deaths of two unrelated humans. Although I don't know exactly where, if it is related to all humans, you should be able to detect it."

[—Alaya.]

The final title was not stated in words, but rather conveyed through information that directly shook the internal workings of the news. In response, the hidden observers behind the scenes had no choice but to step in themselves.

The confusion and bewilderment on her face were completely replaced by calm, but when "Pandora" spoke again, the will occupying her body had changed to another object.

What do you want to do, visitor from another world?

“Kill it.”

"...You know I can't let you do that."

Tiamat's life concept has been connected with all of humanity. Even if it is not the original intention of this aggregate of all human consciousness, it still has to take action for it. After all, in this situation, killing Tiamat is the same as killing all of humanity—that is, killing this aggregate of consciousness called "Alaya".

"So I call upon you, not 'Gaia'."

As a planetary consciousness aggregate, Tiamat might be considered a beneficial organism to the consciousness aggregate called "Gaia" because it can get rid of these "parasites" on its "body" once and for all in this way.

With the thought in his mind, Lin Yi laid out the plan he had already prepared: "I can deal with it without killing a third unrelated person, but the premise is that there can be no external interference in the process."

These magical beasts?

"You can understand that."

There was a long silence.

I've tried my best, but the power I possess is primarily related to 'humanity,' and it doesn't have much of a suppressive effect on these concepts that were created with the aim of destroying humanity.

Ragnarok: Chapter 423 The Best Bait

The difference between worlds with different activity levels is indeed enormous. This can be seen from the fact that the consciousness aggregates in this world cannot even actively simulate forms, but can only communicate by occupying another body. Compared to the spiritual energy world that once shattered the teeth of the "Zhu Xian" fragment holder and caused mutual damage, and the world of sixteen races that cultivated a group of combat powers capable of destroying stars at any time, the gods in this medium-activity world are simply a joke.

In other words, the consciousness aggregate of this world chooses to distribute the limited active energy to a small number of individuals in order to forcibly create a few relatively powerful individuals in a generally low-energy population. Otherwise, if the limited active energy were distributed equally to everyone without distinction, as in other medium-energy worlds, it would be questionable whether even the concept of "mystery" could survive.

At the same time, this disparate distribution of activity also allows the consciousness aggregate to mobilize more activity with maximum efficiency when needed.

For example, if we were to change to a world where active energy is generally distributed, the time and preparation required to mobilize 50% of the world's total active energy to resist external intrusion would definitely be measured in years. After all, it involves billions of people, and when the ability to control the aggregated consciousness is insufficient, it is not possible to fully control it.

But things are different when the distribution system is vastly different, like the world we live in now.

The total amount of energy possessed by a Godslayer is greater than that of ten thousand magicians, and the amount of energy possessed by a magician is also greater than that of ten thousand ordinary people. In other words, as long as one can make a Godslayer act according to one's own will, it is equivalent to making one hundred million ordinary people act according to one's own will—at least in terms of total amount.

Although doing so carries considerable risk, if an active holder, that is, a "godslayer," becomes aware of the abnormality and loses control, the loss of the consciousness aggregate will definitely not be as simple as just a single individual.

But at least in the current situation where combat power is urgently needed, the products of this disparate distribution of active energy can still play a significant role.

This was also the way "Alaya" ultimately helped. With the occurrence of several "unexpected events," the three god-slayers who had been observing from afar were forced to take action themselves. Kusanagi Godou would have intervened to protect those around him even without the "unexpected events." The Demon Bullet Shooter was "accidentally" targeted by several flying demonic beasts while transforming into a demonic bird and had to fight back. Finally, Lady Aisha, who did not like fighting, was surrounded by a group of demonic beasts while rescuing people...

For someone who possesses the collective consciousness of all humanity in this world, creating an "accident" of this magnitude would be far too easy.

Whether voluntarily or not, the three god-slayers who were indeed dragged into this mess still relieved a considerable amount of pressure on Lin Yi's side. It's unclear what tricks "Alaya" had played on them, but compared to Lin Yi, who was right above them, the massive number of magical beasts surging from the Mediterranean Sea seemed more willing to run over and gang up on a few passing "god-slayers".

After completing these actions, "Alaya" took one last deep look at Lin Yi.

[I hope you can keep your promise, outsider.]

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Lin Yi smiled at the consciousness aggregate and pointed directly to the monster tide below, whose numbers had been greatly reduced: "Please begin your performance."

"Alaya" didn't make any unnecessary movements, but simply gazed down at the scene in silence for a while. However, this silent gaze had an unexpected effect. Almost at the same time, all the remaining magical beasts on the sea that hadn't been drawn away by the three god-slayers turned their gazes to this "Goddess of Wine". Some were puzzled, some were surprised, and some were driven by desire, but after a few seconds, they all transformed into the same emotion.

—Hatred.

Without hesitation, "Alaya," controlling the body, turned around and fled from the Mediterranean sky at top speed. Below and behind her, monsters surged in overwhelming numbers, and for a moment, not a single one remained in the vast Mediterranean sky.

Lin Yi was a little confused when he first saw this scene, after all, he hadn't seen "Alaya" release any powerful abilities like group taunting, but then he realized what was going on.

"...Since it was created with the purpose of destroying and killing humanity, it would be strange if it didn't go berserk immediately after discovering the aggregate of all human consciousness."

All Alaya did was release the aura belonging to the aggregate of human consciousness, but this aura was more effective than any mockery or temptation for the magical beast whose ultimate goal was to exterminate humanity. In contrast, Lin Yi, who could not even be called a "human", was completely negligible, like dust in the air.

Ultimately, the reason those monsters attacked before was simply because of the idea of ​​"excluding the unknown things in the sky." In essence, Lin Yi was never even listed as an "object that must be eliminated."

"Human beings...a vast yet narrow scope."

Above the empty Mediterranean Sea, Lin Yi stretched out his palm, his fingertips tracing a straight line through the air.

Beneath the Mediterranean Sea, the otherworldly deities diligently "producing" have been disturbed by an anomaly.
