Main God Creation Rules

Page 178

After concealing most of his physical features with a large robe, Lin Yi felt quite moved as he experienced the vitality of this world.

"As expected, it is highly active and continues to grow... I suppose even a pig would become a spirit after eating so many worlds' worth of 'food'."

In terms of activity concentration alone, Midzilda is a relatively advanced existence in a highly active world. However, this is just one world under the "Time and Space Administration". If its total amount is taken into account, it may not be impossible to reach the LV3 evolution state.

It's obvious that it's nearly impossible for a highly active world to grow to this level simply by relying on the total amount of its activity. Therefore, the Time and Space Administration must have adopted a different path: the path of inclusiveness. Unlike the Main God Space, the Time and Space Administration has virtually no natural enemies within the void system. It doesn't need to worry about any lurking, opportunistic eyes (they are unaware of the "Fragment Wars," and even if they did, they might abandon their invasion due to the disproportionate returns, just like Lin Yi in the past). Therefore, it doesn't need to urgently increase its power. Thus, the Time and Space Administration doesn't grow by plundering the activity of other worlds, but rather by strengthening itself through "cooperation."

In just a few minutes, Lin Yi captured the coordinates of no less than ten worlds through the pedestrians on the street. While some of them were of medium activity, most were of medium to low activity. The only highly active world was Midzilda itself. It seems that in the vast void, highly active worlds are not as common as cabbages that can be obtained at will.

In these alternate worlds, the main god space would face only two outcomes: either obediently accepting plunder or fighting back with all its might only to be plundered. However, the Time and Space Administration took a different approach.

"The principle of non-interference... We will only attempt sexual contact after our civilization has developed to a certain level. If both sides share the same ideals, we will invite them to join the Time and Space Administration Bureau to work together to maintain peace in the dimensional world (the void world). If they do not share the same ideals, we will sever ties."

In this way, the Time and Space Administration gained the "joining" of many worlds without bloodshed, to the point that Midgir, which was not even a highly active world at the beginning, later gave birth to such a behemoth as the Time and Space Administration.

It must be said that this method is the most reasonable way to grow stronger, but it is meaningless to "Fragments".

"It took Midzhilda thousands of years to grow from the first world transfer to the current Time and Space Administration. What about the Fragment Wars?"

Let alone thousands of years, even a few years of stagnation can create a despairing gap. In this competition, what the competitors lack is not resources—the inner world of the void is endless, and resources will never run dry.

The only thing missing is time.

In this respect, the Time-Space Administration Bureau is naturally on the opposing side to the fragments. If the two sides are evenly matched, that's fine; but if one side has an overwhelming advantage, it will inevitably end in the disappearance of the other. Of course, these are not things that Lin Yi, who is currently in a weakened state, needs to consider. Right now, his only concern is how to retrieve the Seed of the Holy Stone from the storage facility…

With the advanced state of magical technology, a large number of inventions that facilitate life have appeared one after another in Mid-Zhilda. Naturally, necessities such as mobile maps are readily available. Using this map, Lin Yi arrived at the Ancient Heritage Preservation Center, which was marked as a confidential location, and noticed a phenomenon.

"The defensive forces have been strengthened?"

In Midzhilda's normal state, there never seemed to be any large-scale chaos on this planet, and even the crime rate was infinitely close to zero—the highly developed productivity almost satisfied everyone's needs, and unless someone had an antisocial personality, no one would take revenge on society for no reason.

On such a planet, the so-called protective measures are more formal than practical, and often there isn't even a single protector. However, in Lin Yi's observation, there are at least a dozen mages guarding the storage facility.

Lin Yi quickly learned the reason from their conversation.

"Was it caused by the appearance of the fragments?"

The Time and Space Administration had been living a carefree life because there were no hostile forces, but after encountering the fragments—a fleet of thirteen time and space warships that was directly destroyed—it was clearly awakened by this huge blow. On the one hand, it intensified its search for anomalies in the surrounding world, and on the other hand, it secretly increased its vigilance internally.

Lin Yi found this situation slightly troublesome, but that was about it.

With a gentle flick of his left hand beneath his robes, he stepped into a blind spot and instantly traversed thousands of meters to stand in the center of the storage facility, the area where magical energy fluctuations were most intense.

The strange thing about the spatial system is that if there is a spatial blockade like fragments, it's fine. But if there isn't, you have to be on guard against an enemy who might suddenly appear behind you at any time. It's not too bad now, as long as you are vigilant 24 hours a day. What's more disgusting is that you have no idea whether it will attack you or your base...

However, Lin Yi estimated that this situation could not last long in the fragment war. Even the LV4 evolved fragments had countermeasures, so there was no reason why those fragments that evolved to higher levels would not.

After casually shredding the protective device and alarm with a few "slices," Lin Yi absorbed the twenty-two Holy Stone Seeds with his weak mental power generated by the quantitative mutation of his spiritual attributes. He then turned and left without bothering with the other ancient relics around him.

Leaving aside the fact that the mage noticed the internal anomaly during a routine inspection and caused quite a commotion in Midgold, let's turn our attention back to the Main God Space.

Composed of twenty-two sacred stones as its core, and accompanied by a slight humming sound, indicating that the internal operation was in good condition, Lin Yi did not obtain a second "arm," but rather a consumable that could be used one to twenty-two times depending on the situation.

"Although we have increased the output power as much as possible, it is still not enough."

The heat generated by the detonation of a single Holy Stone Seed is enough to destroy a city like Narumi. However, when converted into an attack mode, it is only a "normal attack" against a LV4 Fragment War level enemy. If the heat is further reduced, it may not even be able to penetrate the defense. Therefore, Lin Yi can only sacrifice the ability to use it repeatedly in exchange for sufficient explosive power.

"However, the power of detonating multiple bombs at once is quite considerable."

Time and Space Administration: Chapter 455 Tracking

Midzhilda.

Temporary base of the Sixth Mobile Division, under the Time and Space Administration.

The theft at the Space Heritage Preservation Center also affected this area. After the Minister, Hayate Yagami, was invited to attend a confidential meeting, many people knew that a new mission was about to begin.

as predicted--

Yi Ling I Qi 罒舞@Jiu Shi 9 (8) "The target is the 105th dimension world we just left—that's right, Earth. But this time we're not searching for ancient relics, but something else."

Seemingly concerned about Eve's reaction, but relieved to see that she remained silent, he continued to explain: "According to the investigation by the Time and Space Administration, the object named 'Unknown Target A' was stranded in the 105th dimension for at least a period of time. Although most of it was destroyed, some traces still remain. This time, the mission of Section Six is ​​to search for these traces. Of course, it would be best to find the specific identity or location of 'Unknown Target A' through these traces."

"That concludes our mission for this time. If there are no further questions, prepare to depart... Eve, if you haven't—"

Meeting Nanoha Takamachi's worried gaze, the girl's expression remained calm: "Please let me participate in this mission, Captain. I should be more familiar with the situation in Narumi City than most people here."

Ultimately, as a relatively new member, Eve successfully participated in the search mission. However, unlike the other mages who remained completely unaware, the girl was well aware of the ultimate goal...

The main god space.

[The searcher's reverse location mechanism locks onto the target—the Time and Space Administration.]

Lin Yi, who had just finished creating his right hand, was taken aback upon hearing this: "Reverse positioning?"

The current behavior shows 95% similarity to the reverse location mechanism, and the host's coordinates are expected to be located in 21 hours, 17 minutes and 9 seconds.

He moved his right hand, and the slight vibrations from the internal parts brought a long-lost sensation: "How do they locate themselves?"

[Information left behind by the host after entering the world of Midzhilda]

"If I remember correctly, I took everything I could carry with me, right?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Supreme God revealed a scene before Lin Yi—

Inside the Ancient Ruins Preservation Center, a mage held an old, mirror-like object and pointed it at the spot where Lin Yi had once stood. As time slowly passed, a familiar figure appeared on the originally blurry mirror. Although it only lasted for a short time, it was enough for those who also understood the world's shifting to pinpoint Lin Yi's location.

"...What is this thing?"

Based on its properties, this substance exhibits trace time-regulation characteristics.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up. Just as he was planning how to get the "mirror" over, the image projected by the main god showed the mirror shattering. The mages seemed to have anticipated this, and after exchanging a few words of regret, they simply took the fragments away.

Before Lin Yi could ask another question, the main god answered directly.

Based on its properties, this substance is elemental quartz, which does not possess any regular characteristics.

"Okay, it's a consumable item."

Judging from the appearance of that "mirror," it was probably another ancient relic brought from elsewhere. If it were still intact, Lin Yi would be willing to take a risk to make a move, even if it was just to come into contact with the rules of time. But since it was already destroyed, there was no need for it.

"On the other hand, although the probability of finding waste is quite high with the Time and Space Administration's wide-net approach, if we find something that is still usable, it has considerable research value."

According to Eve, the Time and Space Administration's research on the "Ancient Relics" seems to have started at the same time as their exploration of the outside world. Although most of the time they only get some worthless waste materials, there are also times when they have a "bumper harvest," such as the Seed of the Holy Stone, or the "mirror" just now, and even the ancient Belka magic was obtained from the ruins of another civilization...

After some consideration, Lin Yi decided to abandon the idea of ​​replicating this exploration model. Firstly, the investment and return cycle was too long, and secondly, it was easy for other "fragments" to discover it.

After figuring out how he was discovered, Lin Yi's vigilance towards the Time and Space Administration increased by several percentage points. However, he had to think of a way to make them shift their attention away from him. Of course, they couldn't shift it to the Main God Space. Ideally, he could do it at a time that had nothing to do with him. Even if he couldn't successfully mislead them, he could at least make them waste some time so that he could prepare himself.

Since only Lin Yi's own information remains in the Mid-Zhilda world, it doesn't need to be too complicated. Given the not-so-precise directional positioning mechanism of the Time and Space Administration, even if they could locate him, they would only locate the world where Lin Yi is. So, all Lin Yi needs to do is change to a world that has nothing to do with the Main God Space, and then let the trackers enter it without knowing anything.

With that in mind, Lin Yi simply issued an order to the main god.

"Monitor the infiltrator's situation and notify me immediately if there is any emergency."

【Command confirmation】

A folded space unfolds, a turn reveals oneself stepping into another unfamiliar realm, while behind, the scene linked to Eve's perspective continues to evolve...

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

Almost at the same time that Lin Yi stepped into another unfamiliar world, Section 6 officially returned to Earth in the 105th dimension (World Six). After roughly assigning their respective mission locations, the most suspicious and dangerous area was assigned to the Star Squad leader Nanoha Takamachi, the Thunder Squad leader Fate Testarossa, and the new member Eve, because the three of them had lived there since childhood and were familiar with the city.

Meanwhile, the other person, Hayate Yagami, who also grew up in this city, stayed on the warship to oversee the overall situation and could quickly rush to provide support in case of any unexpected situations.

"Relax, Eve, we'll always be there for you."

Noticing that Eve's condition was somewhat "abnormal," Nanoha Takamachi couldn't help but speak up. The girl was initially puzzled—but her confusion about her statement quickly turned into gratitude: "I'm sorry, Captain, I was just thinking about my family..."

"family……"

Perhaps triggered by the same memory, Fate hesitated for a moment before suddenly saying, "There should be enough time. We can go to your house if you'd like."

Time and Space Administration: Chapter 456: Lingering Shadows of the Past

In Eve's limited memory, the only place that fits her concept of "home" is a certain area, but this is something she absolutely cannot say to the two mages in front of her—it is completely inconsistent with her "identity".

Of course, this fundamental issue was resolved when Eve was given this "identity," so she should have a sufficiently "truthful" answer even when questioned, but...

【laboratory.】

"……Yes."

"Eve?"

"Come on, I'll take you there."

With a slight smile on her face, Eve turned and pointed into the distance: "My 'home' is right there."

Behind her, Nanoha Takamachi took a long time to come to her senses, and looked at her friend beside her with some doubt: "Fate, that child just smiled, right?"

"Yes, you read that right."

With a look that was both comforting and wistful, she gazed ahead: "Even such a reserved child will smile when talking about his family."

Led by Eve, the two mages bypassed the heavily damaged areas of Narumi City that were being rebuilt and arrived at a region that was sandwiched between the city center and the edge. Compared to the city center, the damage here was obviously not as severe, including the "home" that Eve was looking for.

"This is it."

Pushing open the unlocked iron door, the automatic detonation mechanism behind it quickly shut down after sensing the identity of the visitors, along with all the internal defense mechanisms. So when Nanoha Takamachi and Fate walked in, they saw a room that was nothing special except for being relatively empty.

Ignoring the two "guests" behind her, she walked straight to a small hut at the very edge. In the center of the messy tools and materials, a culture chamber lay quietly... just as it had been when she was inside it.

Staring blankly at this place that holds so many memories, those sealed memories slowly resurface.

She was born here, grew up here, and was given meaning to her existence here—and this name.

"Eve".

Like a spell being activated, the sound, which should only be audible to the person in question, was endlessly amplified in this space until it opened a hidden location, connecting the girl inside and drawing everything in the room into it.

The unusual activity in the room was clearly noticed by the two mages in the living room, but when Nanoha Takamachi arrived in a hurry, all she saw was Eve being caught up in it. Without thinking too much, the mage rushed in, and Fate, who was behind her, didn't even have time to stop her.

"Swift Wind, something unusual has happened here!"

[I've detected a strong spacequake here. Be careful, I'm coming right away—]

Watching the "spatial vortex" expand little by little, Fate could only suppress his anxiety and evacuate the surrounding residents.

(Please be safe and sound, Nanoha.)

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

After a period of intense dizziness, Takamachi Nanoha, having regained control of her body, instinctively activated the flight array within her magic wand. Only after stabilizing her fall did she have time to observe her surroundings.

"Is this... Earth?"

Looking around, the towering buildings, bustling streets, and the crowds were just like the "Earth" she knew. Yet, Takamachi Nanoha felt a sense of incongruity amidst this reality.

"Now is not the time to dwell on such things—Eve-chan, where are you?"

The magical communication sent in the form of telepathy was not received. Just as the undeterred mage was about to try another method, a sudden and powerful impact from beneath her feet propelled her body upwards for more than ten meters. Still in shock, she looked down at her feet.

"This is--"

In the city, two shadows chased each other frantically, completely ignoring the destruction and impact on their surroundings. In the short few seconds that Takamachi Nanoha saw, three high-rise buildings had already been pierced, indirectly causing more than a hundred casualties.

Despite her deep concern for Eve's safety, Nanoha Takamachi had to stop, driven by her sense of justice and her identity as a member of the Time and Space Administration.

"Stop! Your actions have violated the Time and Space Administration's—"

Her response was a fist made entirely of machinery.

The intelligent program of the magic device in his hand faithfully fulfilled its function of protecting its master. As the cherry blossom magic circle unfolded, the falling fist was blocked in front of it. However, the huge impact from above was not something that a magic wand could handle. Caught off guard, the mage was directly smashed to the ground.

"Ouch...it hurts so much."

After a while, the pale-faced mage got up from under the collapsed ring road overpass. After confirming that no one else had been hurt, he ignored the terrified or surprised (?) looks and gritted his teeth as he charged towards the two figures chasing each other again.

"If reasoning doesn't work, then let's use force!"

A somewhat embarrassing situation arose for Nanoha Takamachi: despite the mage's declaration, neither side showed any intention of diverting their attention, which greatly frustrated the mage who was trying to stop their destruction of the city in this way.

"—No choice, Rising Sun Heart, time to go!"

Yes, my master.

Although the two pursuing forces were moving at incredible speeds, relying on her own strength as an S+ rank aerial combat mage, Nanoha Takamachi managed to block their path as she made a turn. Only at close range did Nanoha Takamachi clearly see what was being chased ahead of her—

"Huh?! A rabbit?!"

What came into view was the head of an elderly rabbit, but with human limbs and a human body, and even dressed like a gentleman.
