Main God Creation Rules

Looking back on each step of the process that happened not long ago, the final image is fixed on the red flying bird pattern.

Although the "suicide command" that was quite similar to a Command Seal did not take effect, the "will" that intervened through the bird was the direct cause of this strange feeling.

At first, when he didn't feel anything, Lin Yi thought it was because the attack had failed. After all, it was just a low- to medium-activity world with nothing too dangerous. However, as this strange feeling that didn't come from his body continued to intensify, Lin Yi couldn't ignore it anymore.

Turn around to face the "metal sculpture" behind you.

Unlike when she was "metallized," the witch remained still, with only the flowing blood and beating heart inside proving that she was not just an inanimate object on the surface, but a genuine "living being."

If the main god were still "awakened," it would be possible to obtain the internal memories without damaging the outer shell. The problem is that the main god is still in the process of fusion, and who knows what might happen if we wait for it to complete the fusion? Moreover, my body cannot withstand any more "accidents"...

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yi reached out his hand towards the "sculpture".

Soul Leap: Chapter 343 The Art of Mass Idiot Control

The girl had a dream.

Having never been accepted by the world, she craved recognition, and thus, following this inner desire, she gained an "ability": the ability to be loved by others.

After gaining her "ability," everything was wonderful at first. The girl, who was unconditionally loved by others, got the future she had always dreamed of. However, slowly, this wonderful future began to change... Her ability gradually slipped out of her control, turning from simply being loved by those she wanted into forcibly twisting the will of others.

Dislike, indifference, friendliness... all emotions are replaced by "love," and even those who did not originally resist her existence will unconsciously fall in love with her almost madly.

Realizing that her ability was beginning to go astray, the girl tried to change it, but what awaited her was not another promising future, but a curse called "immortality".

The cursed girl cannot die; even if she is killed, she will be resurrected time and time again until she finds another person to replace her curse. In order to find this person, the girl embarks on a long journey...

"And then, after you find that person..."

Then?

The obvious choice is to transfer this ability, thus escaping the curse of immortality.

"Although I have never encountered a problem that I had to solve by 'suicide,' even if I did encounter a situation that forced me to do so, I would never use such an excuse to comfort myself."

——!

In a semi-conscious state, the girl felt angry.

She's had enough of this situation, but is wanting to die a mistake?

　。 十@ 齐〕 〖- ⊙八物是榴把⑦泣卅“I think you misunderstood me.”

Against the distorted backdrop of torn metal, a faint, dim light pierced through: "Has anyone—stopped you?"

The closed-off world of self was so easily torn apart.

----------segmentation----------

When a person truly wants to do something, they will not seek any reasons, but will directly devote themselves to the thing itself; while when someone is desperately seeking excuses and processes, this act of seeking excuses itself represents resistance.

Facing the witch who had "resurrected" once again, Lin Yi only asked one question: "Do you want to die?"

Admittedly, killing her in this world would be extremely difficult, requiring numerous tests and experiments with conventional methods and still not guaranteed to succeed. However, this only applies "in this world." If she were forcibly dragged to another world with no connection to it, Lin Yi believed that killing her would be no more difficult than crushing an ant.

Suddenly "awakened" and faced with this problem, the witch was surprised to find that she couldn't bring herself to speak the wish that had been lingering in her heart. She had a real premonition that if she spoke it out, she would be "killed"—and never be able to come back to life.

Seeing the silent witch before him, Lin Yi did not press the matter further; in fact, this state of affairs was perfect.

"You have plenty of time to think it over, but until then."

He opened his left eye to the witch who looked wary, and in her surprised gaze, the iconic red bird pattern stood out.

Tell me, what is this?

----------segmentation----------

Personal likes and dislikes can determine very few things. Just as students who hate going to school still have to carry their backpacks and go to school, and office workers who don't want to work still have to clock in and out on time, most of the time, what determines people's actions is still "interests" themselves.

These are things we have to do for the future, for food and clothing, and for survival.

Clearly, given Lin Yi's current situation, he cannot decide his actions based on personal likes or dislikes. This is why what was just a life-or-death "battle" has now turned into a scene of "mutual benefit and assistance" between the two parties.

Considering the potential consequences of refusing, the witch wisely did not refuse—the long years had given her experience and knowledge far exceeding that of a searcher, and she knew better than anyone what to do and when to do it; otherwise, she wouldn't have repeatedly stood in front of a "contractor" and killed him time and time again to protect him.

Even so, there were still some things she needed to confirm.

"Where is Lelouch?"

"Who?"

The witch sensed something was off: "You don't even know his name?"

"Do you remember the name of every ant before crushing it?"

“...the Geass holder who was with me.”

"Alive."

The answer was simple, direct, and clear. While it didn't satisfy the witch, it was enough. Instead, Lin Yi began to feel curious: "You care about him?"

"...Don't get me wrong, I just need his abilities."

"There's nothing to misunderstand. What you call 'ability' is his ability to take away your unlimited resurrection, right?"

From the voices she heard during her "awakening," the witch could easily guess that a part of her memories had been spied on. Instead of making any futile attempts to conceal it, she directly admitted, "Yes."

"Isn't it strange? I've already given you a simpler option, but you still subconsciously cling to that troublesome method."

The witch was taken aback upon hearing this, and then she too began to feel puzzled.

She needed to seek a medium because she wanted to kill herself, and she needed a medium to protect Lelouch. This connection of need had sustained all her previous actions. However, now that the being before her offered a new option, why did she still subconsciously maintain this idea?

"If you want to die, just help me get rid of it."

After leaving those words, Lin Yi left immediately. Before taking any effective action against the "intruders" in his eyes, Lin Yi needed to resolve the various troubles in this world, at least to ensure that the worst-case scenario of the expeditionary force being wiped out and the enemy coming to the door would not occur during the process of solving the problems.

Given the activity level of this world and its methods of mental interference, the possibility is not low. Perhaps in terms of material interference, it is far inferior to other worlds that Lin Yi has encountered, but in terms of mental interference, it is no less than the Type-Moon world, which is a medium-to-high activity world... According to Lin Yi's calculations, at maximum output, the activity level of this world should be able to reduce the judgment ability of all the intelligent beings in the world by two levels. In other words...

"A technique to make people intellectually disabled?"

Soul Leap: Chapter 344 Weapons

After a series of chaotic events, the mastermind behind the conspiracy was finally exposed.

They first detonated bombs in the Forbidden City, destroying the seemingly impregnable Chinese Federation from the inside out, forcing people to fight for a new order.

Then, while people were grieving over the tragic incident at the Forbidden City, they quietly extended their poisonous claws to the Holy British Empire across the ocean, launching a surprise attack and killing the 98th emperor of the empire, Charles DI Britannia, in order to drag this prosperous and powerful nation into an abyss of chaos.

Not content with this, they turned their attention to the EU, orchestrating this horrific event. After plunging three powerful nations into chaos in this manner, this "black hand" felt it no longer needed to conceal its actions. It brazenly occupied large swathes of territory belonging to the Chinese Federation, using it as a base to launch an invasion of Area 11. Enraged by fierce resistance, it unleashed a depraved massacre. Fortunately, the leader of the Black Knights—"Zero," the savior of New Japan—survived the massacre and escaped to safety with the selfless protection of many Black Knights members…

Now, the mastermind behind all the strife has come to light. This is no longer the time for fighting and killing each other. The common enemy of all humanity—the entire Earth—has emerged. Their greatest goal is to drag the world into chaos. To stop them, everyone must unite.

—Fight for the Earth's tomorrow!

----------segmentation----------

The commander slammed his fist on the table, his face ashen as he watched the news being broadcast simultaneously in over a dozen languages ​​around the world.

It's obvious that the person who orchestrated this news is definitely connected to Zero, who escaped from Area 11 before. Considering that the Emperor of the Chinese Federation has already been restored, perhaps she should also be included, as well as the people from the EU...

"Considering the worst-case scenario, we may have already offended everyone in the world."

The chief of staff was not surprised by this outcome. After all, he had anticipated this scene as early as when the "collaborator" launched an unauthorized attack on the capital of the three powerful organizations. He just did not expect it to happen so soon.

"The Chinese Federation is alright, after all, their emperor is still alive. As long as the royalists raise their arms, they can still barely rebuild a 'court'. But the Holy British Empire and the EU's reaction is quite unusual... Generally speaking, when the leaders of an organization are all taken down, shouldn't they first solve the internal problems? There's no reason why they would be so easily persuaded by others to participate in new conflicts under such circumstances."

"...Maybe it's the same situation we were in before."

Trying to calm himself down, the commander attempted to clear his mind, which was clouded by anger, and began to think about the reasons for the current situation where he was surrounded by enemies.

While the unauthorized actions of the "collaborators" certainly played a significant role, that alone wouldn't have been enough to so easily bring together three otherwise irreconcilable powerful organizations. The intertwined interests were simply too vast. However, in reality, the Chinese Federation, the Holy British Empire, and the EU have indeed united, and what's most perplexing is—

"The mastermind is the 'Black Knights'."

"I simply don't believe there's nothing fishy going on here. I just don't know if it's the same situation we encountered before."

The chief of staff still vividly remembers the operation in Shinjuku not long ago.

The series of misfortunes felt like the whole world was against them. In that state, let alone fighting, even drinking water would be difficult. And that wasn't all. While misfortune could be avoided with utmost caution, the resulting mental turmoil and abnormality were unavoidable. Impulsiveness, fear, chaos... According to the investigation conducted within the expeditionary force after that battle, it wasn't just a few individuals who experienced these abnormal emotional shifts; every member of the expeditionary force who participated in the battle experienced them.

Putting himself in their shoes, the commander believed that if he were in that situation negotiating with the Black Knights, he might actually agree to hand over control of the World Alliance to the leader of an obscure "terrorist" organization...

The thought of having to fight the enemy with a "50% reduction in IQ" debuff soon sent a chill down the chief of staff's spine, who had always relied on his intellect: "What if we encounter a situation like Shinjuku again?"

Faced with the chief of staff's question, Commander Yang grinned.

"Comrade Staff Officer, this is not just your question. The entire Expeditionary Force is asking this question, including me. We are all people who have personally experienced that situation. Putting aside everything else, if I were to command the army back then, even with three times the strength of the enemy, we wouldn't be able to defeat them."

"I won't bother with the platitudes of comforting words. The current situation is that people on Earth don't even know how this happened. The advice the people at the research institute gave us was to bring a few injections of diluted sedatives before going into battle, and to give ourselves an injection if we felt anything was wrong—can you believe what kind of nonsense this is?!"

Not to mention the commander who received the news directly, even the chief of staff who heard this "solution" from him felt a bit of a headache.

"...Or, let's ask 'him' instead."

With his brows furrowed deeply, the commander opened his mouth several times as if to say something, but thinking of the panic outside, he could only sigh in the end.

----------segmentation----------

Just as the "collaborators" were about to come looking for him, Lin Yi also found the most suitable way to deal with this world. He immediately used the spatial coordinate substitution to arrive at the expeditionary force's camp in the South Asian region and placed the dark brown glass bottle with constantly bubbling bubbles on the table.

"During the final battle, smash it in the center of the battlefield, and remember to wear gas masks... three layers thick."

Looking at the unassuming glass bottle on the table with a puzzled expression, the chief of staff asked, "Mr. Lin, what is this?"

After taking two seconds to think about what this thing was, Lin Yi finally gave a vague answer: "Weapon."

Soul Leap: Chapter 345 - A Significant Advantage

The war arrived as scheduled.

The final battle broke out in Area 11. Considering the potential destruction of this battle, both sides tacitly ruled out the urban area option. The events in Shinjuku and Tokyo were a disaster. Regardless of what the instigator was thinking, at least for those who hoped to gain control of the future of this world, it was absolutely unacceptable to have sacrificed so much only to end up in ruins.

"Mount Fuji?"

“That’s right. Looking at the entire Area 11, there’s no place with any ‘strategic depth.’ Rather than a chaotic, disorganized battle, we should settle things here at Mount Fuji!”

Looking at the topographical map of Mount Fuji on the projection screen, the commander frowned: "What's the basis for this?"

"First, Mount Fuji has the richest reserves of Sakura Stone in the entire 11th district. If we choose to wage a war of attrition here, our energy reserves will not be a problem. Second, the war mode in this world is mainly based on anthropomorphic weapons. Overly complex terrain is actually not conducive to the expeditionary force's combat. After all, we have only been exposed to this war mode for less than half a year. It is not wise to fight against a war mode that has been developed for more than ten years. It is better to choose to wage war in a mode that we are good at."

As he said this, the chief of staff pointed to a circle around Mount Fuji on the map: "Third, if the worst happens and we have to use the 'weapons' that 'he' gave us, we can minimize the casualties and damage to the surrounding environment and unrelated personnel."

Recalling the test report from the Earth Research Institute two days ago, the commander immediately cut off any lingering hesitation in his mind: "Okay, let's make Mount Fuji the decisive battleground and prepare for a long-term battle."

----------segmentation----------

This will be a war that will determine the future of the world.

As ZERO watched the rows of anthropomorphic armed forces moving below, a realization dawned on him.

He will no longer fight only for himself, because the one he needs to fight against is dead, along with the palace of the Holy British Empire...

Lelouch had once doubted whether he still needed to fight, but after witnessing the devastation of Shinjuku, the Black Knights leader, who had finally escaped, had no more doubts.

He is now fighting not only for himself, but also for the world.

With this awareness, he came to the Chinese Federation under Karen's protection, easily persuaded the emperor of the Chinese Federation, and established a new regime with the support of this young emperor. He then contacted the EU and the Holy British Empire, which were in chaos, and used various "means" to gain their recognition and promises. In the end, he established such an unprecedentedly powerful coalition.

Lelouch admitted that he did not rely entirely on normal means in building this coalition. When dealing with those stubborn elements, directly using Geass to make them obey was obviously the best method. However, he did not have even the slightest hesitation or regret about his actions. After all, at this moment, he firmly believed: "All my thoughts and actions are for justice!"

Don't you see, under the overwhelming tide of justice, even those who are not controlled by Geass abilities have gradually obeyed their orders and begun to take up arms to fight for the future of this world?

It has to be said that this was an unprecedented experience. After obtaining Geass, which could make others absolutely obedient, Lelouch thought that was the supreme symbol and power. However, after escaping from Shinjuku, Lelouch personally overturned that conclusion.

"The most perfect chessboard is not one where every piece can unconditionally obey your commands, but one where even the player doesn't need to exist, and the pieces will act according to their own ideas."

For Lelouch at this moment, it wasn't just the Black Knights, but also everyone in the Chinese Federation, the Holy Britannian Empire, and the EU. He didn't need to do anything; these "pawns" would naturally act according to his needs. This feeling was far superior to controlling others with Geass, to the point that Lelouch sometimes even had a certain feeling.

He is the center of the world.

In this seemingly miraculous state, the allied forces, having amassed a massive force with unbelievable efficiency, rapidly approached the final battleground.

------------segmentation----------

Even though he had personally experienced that abnormal situation that completely defied objective laws, the commander still felt an urge to vomit blood when he saw the massive coalition forces seamlessly integrate without any training or coordination, easily crushing his numerous arrangements and traps and arriving at the final battle unscathed.

For a commander, the most disheartening thing is not that every one of his plans is seen through by the enemy, or even that the enemy turns the tables and defeats him—that only shows that his command ability is not up to par. Rather, it is that he has done his best, but the enemy has skipped over and ignored his strategies and calculations by relying on some "subjective factors" that cannot be included in the calculations.

For some reason, the commander suddenly understood the helplessness and sorrow of the ancient strategist Zhuge Liang, who was known for his infallible calculations, before his death in the Origin World. Fortunately, he was not named Zhuge, and the expeditionary force was not the Shu Kingdom. So, they would not surrender just because of his personal defeat.

Taking a breath, the commander issued the order: "Contract your forces. The enemy outnumbers us by more than three times, and we cannot guarantee how much reinforcement they will receive. Rely on Mount Fuji for defensive operations until—"
