The two sides, who were once enemies, are now talking like friends, which is a rather subtle feeling.
"So, what do you want to say to me now? As a 'reward' for your perseverance in getting this far, I can grant you one wish."
"Is it like the 'Holy Grail War'?"
"If you want to understand it that way, that's not wrong either."
Sensing the presence of the offerings within the "Root," Lin Yi smiled and asked, "So, what is your wish?"
"...You have achieved your goal."
After glancing in the direction where the "main god" had disappeared, the mage took a deep breath: "Then, please leave this world—forever."
"I suddenly realized that you really have a deep love for this world."
"...This is my 'character design,' and my 'creator' may be just such a person, which is why 'Meteora' was born."
"Who knows? Maybe you were created according to a setting completely opposite to his own."
"So, what's your answer?"
Facing the figure before him, the mage slowly opened his mouth: "—Lin Yi."
"..."
"..."
The oppressive atmosphere was finally broken by a soft laugh: "As you wish."
The mage, having fulfilled his "wish," smiled and no longer resisted the world's corrective forces' rejection of him. He turned into scattered points of light and disappeared from this world along with all traces left by the existence of "Meteora."
The feedback from within the "root" is becoming increasingly clear, but it still lacks that final push—
"Even though it was 'I' who started it, you really have a big appetite."
He shook his head and opened his closed right eye.
The vortex of the "root" persists, or rather, is much clearer than before; in a daze, it seems one can see another world through this spinning "vortex"—
Offering 1: Archer (Kanoya Ruwei)
The second offering is Rider (Kalon Sega).
The third sacrifice: Archer (Briz Toka)
Sacrifice number four: Berserker (Kiyohime)
Sacrifice number five: Lancer (Artoria Pendragon)
Offering number six: Assassin (Tsukijoin Shinkan)
Sacrifice number seven: Lancer (Alice)
Offering number eight: Berserker (Kaguya Mamika)
Sacrifice Nine, Lancer (Scáthach)
Offering number ten, Saber (Mirokuji Yuya)
Offering eleven, Lancer (Bai Yaxiang)
Offering 12, Rider (Celesia)
Sacrifice Thirteen, Archer (Althay)
Offering fourteen, Assassin (Old Man of the Mountain)
Offering fifteen, caster ('chief god').
Sacrifice sixteen, Caster (Miteora)
"The last sacrifice...caster ('Lin Yi')"
From the frantically spinning vortex of the "root," a response of "satisfaction" finally emerged.
"Then, grant my wish."
As this information entity was about to be transformed into its final "fuel" and thrown into it, it made its last wish: "—a golden 'landmark'."
The spinning "Root of the Seven Sources" abruptly stopped, and moments later began to trace back in the opposite direction—back to the source of the "Acknowledgment Power." At that initial and final end, Lin Yi found the "information" he needed, which was also the ultimate mission bestowed upon this "information body."
In the distant past, the "Golden Clan" entered this world, but this world was not the "end" they were looking for, so they left quickly. However, before leaving, they set up "landmarks" here, acknowledging that the system of force, which should not theoretically exist, was the external manifestation of "coordinates".
If we want to find the true coordinates, we must go through a process: exhausting our capacity for recognition and returning to its original state.
To accomplish this, Lin Yi chose the "Holy Grail War"—what could consume resources faster than war?
Although different from activity, recognition is also a kind of "resource".
Obviously, the result was not unexpected. In this "Holy Grail War" involving multiple "Heroic Spirits", the power of recognition was completely squandered. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, humanity would not continue to dig its own grave. Thus, the world briefly entered a phase of "absolute blankness" of the power of recognition.
At this stage, one makes a wish upon the Holy Grail, which only manifests in this world at the cost of multiple "Heroic Spirits"—
"In the end, it turns out it was here."
Transforming the last bit of information into an upward force, it propped up those few seemingly ordinary yet information-rich numbers, keeping them suspended in mid-air, gazing into the distance in their final moments on earth—
The "story" has ended, and the "audience" is eagerly taking the stage.
"Yes, I grant your wish, so I will disappear forever and leave this world."
A hand reached in from the outside of the "void" and grasped the information in its palm.
A moment later, I stepped inside.
"But I—I am not just 'I'."
The last piece of information was fragmented. He silently stared at the spot where a piece of information had disappeared for a long time.
"……Thanks for your hard work."
Looking up into the distance, on the horizon, an aircraft carrier fleet from across the ocean, under the slogan of "human crisis," was ready to launch an attack. After all, the landlord, not to be outdone, mobilized all the troops he could muster, just to seize any possible benefit at the end of the "story."
A faint cracking sound rang out, and in the dawn-breaking sky, the crimson Rubik's Cube slowly expanded its "crack," squeezing into this world from the void—
"Our story has come to an end."
[Folded space deployment complete, quantity 30]
"And your story has just begun."
Under the blood-red sky, it was not the end of destruction, but the beginning of "new life".
P.S.: 3200-word chapter
Re:CREATORS: Chapter 525 The Golden Road Sign
At first, there was only emptiness and darkness.
Consciousness sank into a hazy state, as if it had passed through an infinitely long time, or as if it had happened in the blink of an eye.
When those "voices" that seemed out of place in this darkness broke in, a ray of light shone into the world—
Then, Lin Yi heard the first words after stepping into the other world.
"Not bad, you are the best among this batch of newcomers."
----------segmentation----------
By omitting unnecessary steps, in the end, Lin Yi has successfully completed the main task of entering the world of "Re:creator," namely, searching for the "landmarks" leading to another world after the Golden Clan left this world.
However, after resolving the "follow-up matters" of that world and preparing to formally step into another world, Lin Yi suddenly discovered the anomaly of the world that the coordinates pointed to.
Specifically, it's not just a single world, but rather an anomaly that exists within a "circle" formed by linking multiple worlds, including the world the coordinates point to.
After initial exploration, the main god, who had absorbed most of the "World Tree Fragments," provided the answer.
[Information Correction Power]
Naturally, Lin Yi, who was encountering the word for the first time, asked, "What is this?"
[Its presentation is similar to the world's corrective force, but it uses a higher-level leap system based on information rather than active energy.]
Lin Yi understood every word the main god said, but when they were put together, he was completely confused.
Perhaps noticing the lack of information in the instructions, the main deity adopted a more direct method of comparison—
[Hypothesis proposed: When the world correction rules under active energy take effect, it is a 'sterilization mode' at room temperature]
[Analogical Hypothesis: When the information correction power under the information rules takes effect, it is like the 'sterilization mode' of boiling water plus ultraviolet irradiation.]
[Conclusion: The higher the total amount of information invested in this world, the stronger the repulsive corrective force it receives.]
Lin Yi roughly understood why the "Golden Clan" would set up a system of recognition power in the world where they left "road signs"—a system that was neither good enough (compared to the faith system) nor bad enough (compared to the low-activity system). If he wasn't mistaken, it was probably in preparation for the successful entry of those who obtained the "road signs" into this world.
Imagine if even a mere "Acknowledgment power system" requires the entire main god space, or even the main body itself, to deal with it, then it naturally wouldn't be qualified to step into the next world. This isn't about strength; perhaps there really are some strange life forms that can destroy the earth with a single punch, turning the "Acknowledgment power" to ashes as well.
The real purpose of setting up "acknowledgment power" is to teach trackers the ability to survive in another world when they cannot use their existing abilities.
"So, to enter this 'circle,' one must start from a completely blank state?"
[Incorrect assessment; the current host possesses the conditions for mandatory intervention.]
"That's right, and the result is that we fight a war of unknown intensity, with unclear bottom lines and uncertain objectives, without even knowing what the other side is."
After a moment of silence, the Supreme God offered another viable option.
Based on the interpretation of information about the target world, a small portion of information with compatible characteristics can be invested.
Lin Yi understood this point. It was like an angel suddenly appearing in a world rife with viruses—the compatibility was too low, almost like inserting Windows into an XP system.
However, if you put a T-virus or something similar inside, it's not a big problem. After all, one requires the entire system to be replaced, while the other is just a useless patch.
Of course, even if one were to proceed in this manner, risks must be taken. After all, without knowing who operates the "system" or how they are managed, any rash intervention could be detected. And if it does notice, regardless of whether it chooses war or peace, at least intelligence gathering about the other side will cease.
"Similar to blank information..."
After deciding to follow the signs left by the "Golden Clan" into this strange "circle" composed of multiple worlds, Lin Yi immediately rejected the option of entering as the main body, and his reasons were more than sufficient.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that entering this world requires eliminating most of the existing information—that is, the "power system" one uses—is simply unbearable. It's like taking off your armor and weapons and running into someone else's house like a mouse with your bare hands. If you're not discovered, fine, but if you are, it's over in an instant.
However, after deciding to continue investing in information technology as in the previous world, Lin Yi encountered a second problem.
--set up.
If Lin Yi was like a bugged character who could be set up however he wanted in the other world before, then this world with "information correction" is like forcibly adding a weight bar to the character. No matter how many "divine weapons (abilities)" he has, he can't bring them all on at once, otherwise the weight overload will be discovered by the game's "GM" immediately, leading to game over.
Of course, we can't choose to let a completely blank information entity enter it just to avoid exposing its direction; otherwise, not to mention combat abilities, it probably wouldn't even be able to perform self-awareness and logical memory judgment.
As an entity created using "human" as a template, the information body does not possess natural "brain" and "thought." Everything must be shaped by Lin Yi from within himself; otherwise, even if it is created, it will only be an empty shell.
The second challenge Lin Yi is currently facing is how to fit a "system" into this information body with limited capacity.
Too powerful—similar to the "Eye of Root" veto.
Too weak—single-function viruses similar to "T-virus" and "G-virus" are rejected.
……
After systematically rejecting most of the existing systems of the main god, only two choices remained.
—Forbidden Zone of Life
—Generalization rules
The former was obtained by Lin Yi himself as an experimental subject when he first obtained the main god, while the latter came from the fragment of the "World Tree" that had been mostly fused together.
If the generalized rule system were complete, Lin Yi would naturally not hesitate. With the existence of the "paradox" rule, he could hold out for a considerable time even against the strongest opponent. The problem is that the most powerful "paradox" rule in the generalized rule system has been stripped away with the demise of the "world-tree" in !q@i〉er?山邻4(?九)?VIIIIIIV. Not only "paradox", but also "causality" and "space blockade" are also stripped away.
Now all that's left to use are the basic "gravity" and "repulsion," and even those have been weakened considerably, reduced from "molecular attraction" and "molecular repulsion" to the elementary generalized rules of "matter attraction" and "matter repulsion."
Re:CREATORS: Chapter 526 The Transmigrators' Alliance
"...Even 'trash' should have value at the right time."
Ultimately, what remains within the information body is the generalized rule system.
To avoid being exposed due to excessive "load", it is impossible to completely transfer the "generalization rules" at the beginning. Only a little seed can be left to grow slowly. It can only grow slowly after the information of the other world has been interpreted to a certain extent - until it reaches the same level as the main body.
In this situation, the information entity that is thrown into another world will probably encounter the same awkward situation as when it first entered the world of "re:creator".
"It seems that our 'pioneers' have really made thorough preparations."
Looking back at the various restrictions and "trials" that the "Golden Clan" had set up before entering that world, Lin Yi could easily see their caution and vigilance towards this world. But even so, they still stepped into it without hesitation... The "road signs" they left behind are the best and final evidence.
